Everyone turned their gaze in the direction Roland was pointing.
Over there, about forty other children were walking toward the right side.
However, unlike the others, these children had extrely diverse appearances.
So had long ears, so were short, so were large, and so on.
They were children of other races who had been given quotas to enter Saint Freya Academy.
rlin looked at the line and spotted Monica among the other elf children.
However, it was clear she was not in a good position. She stood slightly apart from the others, as if they were deliberately isolating her.
Her expression was depressed, yet she still forced herself to appear strong.
"What a poor girl," rlin muttered, shaking his head.
He understood why Monica was being shunned—it was because she was the outcast princess of the elf race.
Monica's status here was the sa as that of the real Monica—both were princesses of the elf kingdom.
However, rlin did not understand why the real Monica had placed her avatar as an elf princess as well.
Honestly, it was interesting to think about, but he knew it was impossible—at least for now.
"Woaa! Are they children of other races? I've only seen them in the city square. Looking at them up close, they're really unique."
"You're right! I really want to get to know those girls from the elf race. They're so beautiful and amazing."
"Pfft! Your dreams are too sweet, buddy! I heard elves are very selective when choosing partners. Not to ntion, they look down on other races, especially humans. So don't get your hopes up too high!"
Conversation broke out among the new human students. In the history of Saint Freya Academy, this was the first ti children from other races had arrived in such large numbers.
What was more, they were the most talented among their races, which sparked a strong sense of competition among the students.
"Tsk! What a bunch of bumpkins," Lucius snorted coldly.
He looked down on children of other races, especially elves. To him, they were nothing more than stepping stones.
Suddenly, he rembered the incident in the square earlier, and his expression darkened.
"rlin Clay, the prodigy from the Holy Kingdom of Aldoria… just wait for my revenge," he whispered, his voice filled with hatred.
Earlier, he had ordered his n to investigate rlin's identity and learned that he was a citizen of the Holy Kingdom of Aldoria.
No wonder the boy was not afraid of him—the prince of the Magic Kingdom of Arcadia.
But that was fine. He had connections within the academy, and making things difficult for rlin would be easy.
Moreover, his older sister was a senior here, and her strength was unquestionable.
"All right, everyone. As you already know, they are children of other races who have co here to study. I hope you will be friendly and not cause conflict without reason. This is for the sake of cooperation between humans and other races. Do you understand?" Ronald's loud voice snapped everyone out of their thoughts.
With enthusiasm, they replied in unison, "We understand, Vice Principal!"
Ronald nodded in satisfaction and continued, "You may now head to your respective dormitories. If you are unsure of the location, ask the supervisors on duty for assistance."
After saying that, Ronald stepped down from the stage, and the children in the academy courtyard quickly dispersed.
So of them had already visited the academy before and morized the layout, while others had not.
As a result, quite a few were confused about the direction of their dormitories.
Fortunately, the supervisors had anticipated this and quickly guided the children.
Children of other races were assigned to the sa dormitories as human children.
The goal was to strengthen their relationships and create the harmony the academy's leaders hoped for.
As the academy courtyard gradually emptied, rlin was about to head to his dormitory when Luna suddenly stepped forward and hugged his arm.
"Tonight, let's go to the city, rlin. There are many things I want to buy, especially so necessities for the dormitory," she said in a spoiled tone.
Of course, that was a lie. She had already prepared everything she needed in her magic bracelet.
She simply wanted to spend ti alone with rlin, ensuring he would have no chance to interact with other girls.
rlin did not refuse. He patted her head and replied, "Alright. We'll et in front of the academy gate, okay?"
"Um!" Luna nodded enthusiastically. She slowly released his arm, turned around, and said, "Then I'll go to my dorm first."
After that, she walked toward her dormitory and soon disappeared from view.
rlin was about to leave as well when a voice suddenly stopped him.
"Sorry to bother you, but are you rlin Clay?"
Startled, rlin turned around and saw a young woman in an academy uniform and a short black skirt walking toward him.
She had short brown hair and wore glasses, giving her a serious appearance.
"You…" rlin looked at her in confusion.
The woman stopped in front of him, placed her right hand over her chest, and bowed slightly.
"Allow to introduce myself. I am linda, the academy's secretary. I called you because the Head of the Academy has requested a eting with you. Would you be willing to et with her?"
rlin was montarily stunned, then smiled faintly.
"The Head of the Academy wants to see ? How could I refuse? In that case, please lead the way."
Seeing that he showed no resistance, linda let out a quiet sigh of relief. In truth, she had prepared many words of persuasion, but they turned out to be unnecessary.
After that, she led rlin to Linda's office.

"Excuse , Academy Head. May I co in?" rlin knocked on the door and waited calmly.
"Co in. The door isn't locked."
A familiar cold voice ca from inside.
rlin opened the door, and his gaze imdiately fell upon an extraordinarily beautiful adult woman.
She had a flawless face, as if it had been carved by the goddesses themselves.
Her gray hair was tied into a simple bun.
Even so, the stunning charm she exuded was enough to make any man who saw her lose himself.
Her hazel eyes were breathtaking, as if they could captivate anyone who t her gaze.
She also wore thin-lensed glasses, which only added to her allure.
When Linda saw him, the coldness on her face instantly faded, replaced by tenderness.
"It's been a long ti, my dear disciple. How have you been?"
