Hearing that sweet, yet unrefined, accent, Mingxi paused, then turned to look at the round-faced girl beside her, whose eyes were bright and smile innocent.
The girl looked like a dough ball, ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) appearing quite endearing.
But her accent, to be honest, truly surprised her a little.
Her voice was soft and gentle, yet her tone was so bold and unrestrained; the contrast was simply too great.
It made her wonder if there was something wrong with her ears.
She steadied her wandering thoughts and, meeting the girl's sparkling eyes, nodded.
"I am, may I ask who you are?"
The girl clapped her hands cheerfully upon hearing this, "I knew it! The first time I saw you, I felt a special kinship.
Hello, I'm also from Blue Star, my name is Li Tangtang, the Tangtang of integrity."
Because of her movements, Mingxi noticed the girl's fingers; her fingernails were covered with a faint pattern.
"Hello, my name is Yan Luoxi, the Luo from 'luo li' and the Xi from 'tide'."
Her name was personally given by the Grand Elder, and besides Xi and Xi being homophones, the true meaning of this name is profound.
"Luo Luo as a stone." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"Xi water as a beauty."
The former refers to an ordinary appearance, but a spirit and mind as firm and tenacious as a stone.
The latter describes a girl's appearance as beautiful and moving as an evening glow.
Seemingly contradictory, but how could it not be telling everyone her true self?
Hmm.
Her true self is indeed beautiful and moving.
She was just that confident.
Li Tangtang's dark eyes brightened even more, "Big sister's name is so pretty."
"Yours isn't bad either, it has a good meaning and sounds very sweet."
"Hehe."
When fellow villagers meet, tears well up in their eyes.
Li Tangtang had a cheerful and talkative personality, and Mingxi was also someone who knew how to adapt her speech to her audience, so the two quickly became familiar.
Mingxi learned her general information.
Li Tangtang came from a small family in the Changsi region of Longhua Country; her paternal uncle was an early immigrant to Green Field Star, and she had been on Green Field Star for over a year.
Despite her sweet appearance, looking only sixteen or seventeen, she was actually 20 years old this year, which is why she so naturally and casually called Mingxi 'Big Sister'.
As for why she was 20 years old when she came to take the Beast Taming Academy entrance exam, Mingxi didn't ask.
Li Tangtang was cute, but she wasn't a thoughtless simpleton.
Even though she had a natural fondness for Mingxi, she didn't reveal too much personal information about herself.
On Green Field Star, it was truly difficult to find a simple person, even if Li Tangtang was not a native-born Green Field Star resident, nor an immigrant.
Living here for over a year, her personality would certainly be influenced by the fierce local customs.
"Xiaoxi, I'm a little nervous, are you?"
Li Tangtang had come to Green Field Star alone after graduating from high school, and she had been preparing for the exam for over a year, so she understood Green Field Fairytale University better than Mingxi.
Especially the entrance examination that made new students anxious and gave them nightmares at Xianzong University.
It should be known that if new students couldn't pass the entrance examination, they would not only lose their student status at Green Field Fairytale University but also lose the chance to take exams for the other ten Beast Taming Universities; they would have to wait another year.
Because Xianzong University was the latest among the Alliance's ten Beast Taming Universities to start its new student semester.
"It's fine."
Mingxi wasn't nervous at all, but saying so would be too arrogant.
It wasn't that she thought she would definitely pass the entrance examination.
Through her conversation with Li Tangtang just now, Mingxi had somewhat understood the difficulty of Green Field Fairytale University's new student entrance examination.
It is said that Green Field Fairytale University issues 60,000 admission notices to the entire Alliance each year.
However, the number of students who truly pass the entrance examination is less than 3,000, with the highest passing ratio each year not exceeding 1:20.
What's even more frustrating is that there's a possibility of death in the new student entrance examination.
It was much higher risk than participating in the Blue Sun Cup.
So, receiving an admission notice from Green Field Fairytale University truly couldn't be said to be either a good thing or a bad thing.
From the passing ratio, one could see the difficulty of the new student entrance examination; it is said that countless geniuses are eliminated every year.
So Mingxi's calmness was truly not derived from confidence.
Rather, her true age was only fifteen, so even if she didn't pass this year, she wouldn't mind staying on Green Field Star to prepare for another year.
More importantly, her main goal was not academics after all.
Without being modest, with her current strength, most of the teachers at this university probably couldn't defeat her.
If it weren't for Emerald Green and Red Jade separately showing their talents in potions and items, she might not have chosen Beast Taming Academy for university, but rather the Potion or Item Academy.
"I truly envy your carefree attitude."
The closer they got to the school gate, the more nervous Li Tangtang became.
Mainly because she didn't have the chance to delay another year.
If she couldn't successfully enroll this year, her uncle would definitely send her back to Blue Star.
It wasn't that her uncle was unwilling to support his niece, but their family wouldn't allow it.
Mingxi smiled and said nothing.
Her mindset was different from other new students, so she couldn't comfort Li Tangtang, and besides, she truly wasn't a warm and friendly confidante.
Li Tangtang didn't mind Mingxi's somewhat perfunctory attitude; she naturally had the alertness of a small animal.
She was particularly sensitive to others' goodwill and malice.
Anyway, she was sure that this girl named Yan Luoxi had no ill will towards her, and she always felt very safe being around her.
"Luoxi, if you successfully pass the second assessment and enter the third, you must be extremely careful." She leaned closer to Mingxi, lowering her voice and continuing, "I heard that there's a club at Green Field Fairytale University called 'Mielan,' and they particularly dislike exchange students from Blue Star, especially those who perform well in the first assessment. freёweɓnovel.com
The better your score in the first assessment, the more you'll be targeted.
My uncle investigated, and every year, the casualty rate for Blue Star exchange students in the new student entrance examination is the highest."
Mingxi frowned.
Mielan, that name sounded very unpleasant.
But she didn't press further; seeing is believing, hearing is not.
Some things she needed to verify herself.
"I understand, thank you, Sister Tangtang, for telling me."
There were indeed many new students reporting today, but Mingxi and Li Tangtang quickly stood at the registration desk.
It seemed that the second assessment could eliminate 40% of new students, so the process was actually quite fast.
In their line, the person responsible for registration was a beautiful senior student with light green hair.
She was clearly a Kabu Clan member.
"Mika Ruhl, Green Field Star citizen, regular new student, the school's inspection team's initial assessment score is 2 white leaf radiance. This is your leaf badge, take it and go queue at entrance 02."
The boy named Mika Ruhl's expression was a bit unsightly; he stiffly took the leaf-shaped white coin handed to him by the pretty senior student.
Mingxi curiously took a couple more glances.
Seemingly noticing Mingxi's movement behind her, Li Tangtang turned her head to explain to Mingxi.
