In fact, Lorne had already heard their conversation. These people were so excited and spoke so loudly. How could he not hear them? He just could not be bothered with them.
“But I heard that someone in Class One also awakened a high-level elf and it seems like there are two of them!”
“No way? There are a lot of geniuses in our class this year!”
“I heard that there are a few in Class Two as well. A pair of twins awakened a high-level elf at the same time, and the two of them worked together to kill the ordinary demons that the teacher used as baits!”
“There are indeed a lot of geniuses in our class this year. Last year, I remembered that there were only six ordinary-level spirit envoys who awakened in the entire Jiang City, right?”
“Exactly! Just from what I heard this year, there are already more than ten of them!”
“There are so many geniuses, it’s even harder for those of us with average talent to get ahead.”
“I don’t think so. Besides, there’s a gap between geniuses. Lorne’s elf tore apart ordinary-grade demons with one move. The others either joined hands to defeat them or it was just a draw. There’s still a gap!”
“Of course! Lorne is my classmate!”
“Haha! Look at how awesome you are. Those who don’t know would think you’re Lorne!”
…
Listening to the whispers of the boys in front, Lorne secretly memorized some useful information.
“Quiet!” At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded.
Lorne looked. It was a middle-aged man dressed in tight clothes. He was tall and sturdy, and he was facing Lorne with a powerful oppressive aura. The moment he appeared, all the students immediately shut their mouths.
The middle-aged man’s gaze swept over the three hundred students. When he saw Lorne, his gaze paused slightly on Lorne before moving away.
“From now on, all of you will be official spirit envoys. Within these three months, we’ll give you some guidance. Now, everyone will come to collect their identity and communication cards. Go over there and register, then we’ll assign you a place to stay,” the middle-aged man said.
The senior who was responsible for receiving the newcomers brought them to the registration area. Then, he walked to the side with the other spirit envoys and looked at the newcomers with a smile.
“I heard that every year when the rookies come, these veteran spirit envoys will prepare a special welcome ceremony for the rookies. Do you think they have any bad ideas this year?”
Many of the rookies who were stared at by this group of veteran spirit envoys could not help but feel a little uneasy.
“Be careful. I heard that some spirit envoys are quite perverted,” someone whispered.
At this time, Lorne did not participate in their discussion. Instead, he went to the registration area with a few rookies and queued up to register. Soon, it was Lorne’s turn.
The person in charge of the level was a female spirit envoy who wore heavy makeup. She looked up at Lorne, sized him up slightly, and said indifferently, “Hand me your identity card.”
Lorne handed his identity card to her.
Whoosh!
The identity card was swiped on a machine, and Lorne’s basic information appeared on the screen.
“Oh, a little genius.”
The female spirit envoy smiled and glanced at Lorne, her gaze more or less harboring evil intentions. Lorne secretly frowned. His intuition told him that this was not with good intentions.
At this moment, the female spirit envoy in front of him tapped on the keyboard a few times, then returned the ID card to Lorne and said, “Room 0231. Little Brother, don’t say that I didn’t warn you, there’s a surprise waiting for you there!”
Lorne took his ID card, nodded at the woman, and then turned to leave.
“Heh, you’re quite calm.” The female spirit envoy smiled.
Lorne followed the room number to a small building. In front of him was a three-story villa with a front and back garden. It was much better than the residences of the other rookies Lorne had seen before.
‘Other people’s houses are bungalows or ordinary buildings, but mine is a villa. I have no background and no connections. Why did I get such a good residence? Unless there’s something wrong with it,’ Lorne thought to himself.
Since he was already here, Lorne was not afraid at all. Instead, he directly pushed open the courtyard door and walked into the villa.
“He actually walked in without much observation.”
“This newbie has quite the guts. He clearly knows that there’s a trap, yet he still dares to barge in!”
“Heh, he’s a genius. Naturally, he has his pride.”
“Tsk, genius? No matter how talented he is, he’s still a newbie. Don’t forget how pathetic you were when you first arrived!”
“How long do you think this newbie can last?”
“My guess is at least four to five minutes. After all, he’s this year’s rookie king.”
“I bet 10 contribution points that he can last for five minutes. Who’s up?”
“Five minutes? I don’t believe you.”
“You guys have no confidence in this year’s rookie king? What if he can last for more than ten minutes?”
“What are you thinking about? That’s a level-3 demon locked in there. I admit that this rookie’s performance isn’t bad, but he’s still too inexperienced to face a real level-2 demon!”
…
A group of veteran spirit envoys outside had already started a small bet. The villa was unconsciously surrounded by people. Even some of the nearby houses had people looking over from the balcony.
Some of the newcomers who had heard the news also heard the discussions of these people, and they all looked angry.
“This is too abominable! These guys actually locked up demons in our residence!”
“No way? This is a welcoming ceremony? It’s a death ceremony!”
“I don’t dare to enter my house anymore!”
“I knew it, these veterans have bad intentions!”
“They actually used the time Lorne went in to start a gamble!”
“Heh, who asked him to be the new rookie king! It’s normal for him to be noticed by others!”
Some people felt indignant for Lorne, but there were also people who spoke sarcastically. No matter what these people thought of this matter, no one stood out to stop anything. Although the new people were indignant, they did not dare to stand out and criticize.
At this moment, Lorne had entered the living room on the first floor of the villa. He had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth as he looked at the sudden change in front of him. The originally modern living room had turned into a dilapidated old house the moment he entered. Lorne knew that this was an illusion set up by demons.
Only demons above level-2 had the ability to set up illusions and confuse people. Ordinary demons did not have special abilities..
