"There are so many people here!" Bexia cried out in dissatisfaction as she was squeezed in the crowd. The corridor leading to the hall was full of students wearing school uniforms. Different colors represented different grades. Blue represented the third grade, black represented the second grade, white represented the first grade, and junior students like Bexia wore gray uniforms.

This corridor, which usually only takes a few minutes to walk to the end, took Bexia more than ten minutes this time. Finally, she arrived at a spacious circular hall.

This spacious circular hall was like a small square. From back to front and from top to bottom, the seats were arranged in a semicircle around the stage at the front. Above their heads were huge magic crystal lamps, with many exquisite murals engraved on them, which were extremely dazzling!

"Sis Dragon!" Bexia glanced over the scattered seats where people were sitting, and immediately spotted Long Momomo lying prostrate in the front row. She was still wearing that light green shrine maiden costume, which made her very noticeable in the entire hall, after all, she was the only one not wearing the school uniform.

"Good morning, Betty!" Long Momomo weakly opened her eyes and glanced at him, then closed her eyes again.

"Sis Dragon, what's wrong with you today? You don't look energetic at all," Bexia asked with concern. Although she had recently been taken to visit the shrine where Long Momomo lived by Ophelia, and found out that Long Momomo had a lazy and carefree nature when it came to eating and sleeping, she usually wouldn't show it in front of others. However, today she did seem a bit out of sorts.

"I didn't sleep well, just a little tired," Long Momomo leaned forward, looking just like a lazy fish, which was really helpless.

But this didn't affect her personal charm at all. As she would put it, "There are too many people who want to take care of me. I can be ranked from the Asman Academy to the outskirts of the capital city. What do I have to be afraid of? It's not like no one wants me!"

Bexia agreed with this statement. After all, Long Momomo's looks were there, and it was strange that such a beautiful girl didn't have any pursuers.

Moreover, she was not just a pretty face. Bexia had seen her practicing fighting with Ophelia before, and with her serious expression during battles, she had a feeling of a female general.

In short, apart from these flaws in her daily life, Long Momomo could be considered a very outstanding person, and this was Bexia's understanding of her.

When she saw Long Momomo lying on the ground like a fish in the shrine, with everything in a mess, Bexia even tidied up the room for her, which made Long Momomo start to have ideas again. She even asked Bexia if she wanted to become a missionary in her shrine. Bexia firmly declined at the time. What did she want to do in a shrine? She just wanted a free housekeeper.

"Sis Dragon, have you seen Ophelia sister? I didn't see her this morning."

"Ophelia is representing the new third-grade students for a speech. You'll see her later!"

"Sis Dragon, are you sure you're okay? You don't look too good."

"I feel a bit dizzy... could you press on my temples for me?"

Long Momomo grabbed his hand and placed it on her own temples, the meaning was obvious, and after hesitating for a moment, Bexia did not refuse her request.

Bexia placed both hands on Long Momomo's temples and gently massaged them. It seemed to have a good effect, as Long Momomo's slightly furrowed brows unconsciously relaxed, and her expression became more relaxed as well.

"Feeling better now?"

"Mmm~ So much better. Betty, keep going."

Long Momomo seemed addicted, her face showing a comfortable expression. However, this made Bexia very embarrassed because as time went on, more and more people were around, and Long Momomo naturally attracted attention. In addition, their intimate actions now made many students whisper and discuss the relationship between them.

"The opening ceremony is about to start. Sis Dragon, I'll go back to my seat first!"

Before Long Momomo could answer, Bexia immediately left. The gazes of people around him were becoming too much for him to handle. And at this moment, Long Momomo had fallen asleep completely. If Bexia were to find out, he would be speechless. He had worked so hard to massage and help her relax, and she fell asleep comfortably."You may all take your seats; the opening ceremony is about to begin!" A resounding voice echoed in the hall, as a tall and robust middle-aged mentor stood on the stage. He scanned the students in the hall and finally settled on Long Mumu, who was sleeping with their head on the desk, and shouted, "What are you doing sleeping? Don't you know how serious the opening ceremony is?"

"Why are you making so much noise? What's wrong with me sleeping?" Long Mumu grumbled, opening their eyes slightly. Their golden vertical pupils calmly glanced at the middle-aged mentor, making him suddenly feel as if he had been targeted by a powerful monster.

"Alright! Professor Rose, just don't bother with her," a white-haired old man with a kind face appeared from behind the stage. He smiled kindly at Long Mumu. "Mumu, you should behave."

"Dean, this is too outrageous!"

"Professor Rose, just leave her alone; after all, she's just barely scraping by in the academy. Even I can't control her!" the dean replied.

"Tch—" Long Mumu scornfully pursed their lips and closed their eyes. When they opened them again, their pupils had returned to their normal black color. They had originally wanted to continue sleeping, but suddenly found that they couldn't fall back asleep.

What's going on?

Long Mumu quietly asked themselves in their mind. They carefully felt their body and suddenly opened their eyes in shock!

However, they quickly returned to normal and recalled what had happened earlier. They turned their head to look at Bexia, who was sitting in the back row among the junior students, and a mysterious smile appeared on their lips...

"I am the current dean of Asman Academy, Bor. Among the students present, we have newly enrolled freshmen as well as experienced senior students. I won't say much; I just hope that everyone can study well in the academy!" Bor scanned the entire hall with a benevolent gaze.

"Now, let the ceremony begin!"

The following events were just formalities, with speeches given by senior students from the third grade and students from the first grade, as well as some other procedures that Bexia didn't quite understand. By the time it all ended, nearly two hours had passed.

"So, the opening ceremony is now over, and you may all leave. However, junior students and third-grade seniors will gather at the training ground for practical exercises."

Professor Rose's words marked the end of the opening ceremony of this year's Asman Academy, and junior students and third-grade seniors proceeded to the training ground for their practical classes as instructed.
