Chapter 57: Transfer Student
"Did I mishear?"
Although he heard the sound of a wind chime, You Ling did not see the Millennium Ring on the transfer student.
The concept of a transfer student was quite rare for the students of Fusion Academy.
After all, there were only three duel academies on this continent, each representing one of the three most mainstream special summoning methods.
However, undoubtedly, in the annual academy ranking competitions in the Elf Sacred Land, Fusion Academy, which used Fusion Summoning, had always been the one with the lowest win rate.
Usually, great nobles hoping for their sons and daughters to succeed would pull strings to send their children abroad, choosing to study at the other two academies.
It was rare to see a transfer student like today, who specifically transferred from another academy to Fusion Academy.
Not to mention, this cute girl named Luca was originally from Xyz Academy , which currently ranked first in win rate and used Xyz Summoning.
"Say hello to everyone, student Luca."
"Okay, Teacher Aileen."
Nodding obediently, beside Luca's cute cheeks, two sweet little dimples would appear when she smiled, very captivating.
"I am Luca Slint ( Note: Surname was Slint before, now Sitelin). Because I particularly admire the Fusion Summoning method, I begged my father to let me transfer to Fusion Academy. I hope to spend the next two and a half years happily with everyone."
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!"
The entire first-year classroom erupted, almost like the eve of a weekend holiday.
"It's a genuine transfer student, and from Xyz Academy too."
"So cute, simply like an angel!"
"Did I get up too early today and haven't woken up yet? Can I really be classmates with such a cute girl?"
The most exciting part for everyone, of course, was the transfer student's stunningly exquisite appearance.
Under her golden bangs, her aqua-blue eyes, seemingly shining with the stardust of the night sky, paired with a sweet smile from her slender, crescent-moon eyebrows.
A beautiful girl plus the transfer student attribute, who wouldn't be moved?
Hmm, it seems there really were two people who weren't particularly moved.
"Is she that cute? I think she's just average."
Yilin, holding Aisha in her arms, rubbed her vigorously.
"I still think my Xiao Ai is cuter. The transfer student just looks novel."
"I think student Yilin has a point."
Kevin, equally indifferent to a woman's cuteness, crossed his arms and nodded coldly.
"Compared to appearance, the important thing is still dueling strength. The weak will not be recognized."
"It's not as strict as you two say." Aisha commented fairly: "Student Luca is indeed of a rare degree of cuteness."
Glancing at the magitech watch on her wrist, estimating that time was almost up, Teacher Aileen reluctantly snuffed out the cigarette roll dangling from her lips.
"Just find a seat you like, student Luca."
The Thursday summoning class was a special class, using a more spacious lecture hall.
In this type of classroom, there were no fixed seats; everyone just found a seat they liked.
Those who wanted to perform well could sit in the front. Those afraid of being called on by the teacher, or planning to catch up on sleep, could hide in the back. Very user-friendly.
"Student Luca, sit over here with us."
"There's an empty seat here."
"Come here, Luca~"
Out of enthusiasm for the beautiful girl transfer student, most students wanted this exquisitely doll-like girl to sit beside them.
However, Luca, walking down from the podium, seemed to have already had her own target.
Her aqua-blue eyes, their deep pupils reflecting the Millennium Puzzle she had noticed upon entering the classroom.
Luca Slint, almost without hesitation, walked straight to Aisha.
"Excuse me, student Aisha, may I sit next to you?"
"Why does student Luca know my name?"
"Defeating that grade NO.1 Kevin Set with dead-last scores, student Aisha, your glorious deeds, I've heard people mention them long ago."
"That's really, an honor."
Aisha awkwardly scratched her cheek.
How could she not be embarrassed? The grade NO.1 she supposedly defeated was currently sitting right next to her.
This couldn't be blamed on student Luca not being able to read the room; perhaps Luca, having just transferred, knew Aisha but might not recognize Kevin.
"So can I sit next to you?"
Her eyes narrowed into a beautiful crescent moon shape, Luca, smiling, her gaze fixed on the Millennium Puzzle on Aisha's chest from beginning to end.
"No. Didn't you see that the seat next to student Aisha is already taken?"
Kevin, righteously refusing Luca on Aisha's behalf, was probably annoyed by Luca's earlier statement, his attitude clearly very poor.
Of course, anyone who knew the truth would understand that Kevin actually had such a poor attitude towards most women.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be the rumor that Kevin Set hated women the most.
"You really have the nerve to say it's full." Yilin couldn't help but complain.
Sitting to Aisha's right was Yilin; as best friends since childhood, the two always sat together in class, and everyone was used to seeing it.
However, sitting to Aisha's left at this moment was Kevin himself.
At first glance, it indeed looked full, left and right.
"Rather than having you, Kevin, sit next to Xiao Ai, I'd prefer the transfer student to sit here."
"Oh, so you're the Kevin who lost to student Aisha. Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."
Clasping her hands together, winking her left eye, Luca made a completely insincere, playful apology gesture to Kevin.
"Nothing to apologize for, I don't feel offended by you either." Kevin's attitude remained cold, "If you know what's good for you, don't bother me."
"Oh?" Luca rolled her eyes, changing her offensive, "But ah, student Kevin, as a boy, yet always clinging to student Aisha's side, could it be you like her? That's right, after all, student Aisha is also very cute."
Shocked Aisha: "(°Д°) Eh, Kevin actually likes me? I'm sorry, you're a good person."
Yilin quickly waved her hands to signal, "No no no, even thinking with your toes, you'd know this kind of thing is impossible, Xiao Ai, don't be so naive either."
Speaking of which, someone seemed to have been instantly friend-zoned (- good person card).
This card-playing speed was completely unaffected by women.
"A troublesome woman like you wouldn't understand. Aisha Carlos and I are destined rivals! Sooner or later, I will defeat her, and then step by step become the strongest in this academy."
"Pfft." Luca was amused.
"I thought the grade's number one super elite would be more serious, didn't expect him to be such an interesting person."
Luca didn't insist on sitting next to Aisha anymore; after all, there would be plenty of opportunities to get close to Aisha.
For example, as far as Luca knew, Aisha currently lived alone in a double dormitory room because her student number was the last.
"But, the status of a destined rival, I'm suddenly interested in that too. How about we compete? In this summoning class, whoever summons a stronger monster, me or Kevin, can become student Aisha Carlos's destined rival."
