School Starts

Fang Yue was freezing as the comforter that used to cover his body was only covering his feet now. Due to this, his wonderful sleep was forcedfully cut off. He slowly got up on the bed that he was laying down. Checking his surrounding, it was unfamiliar to him which hastened his fully awakened state from the groggy state of oversleeping.

Yes, oversleeping. Fang Yue had an estimated five bottles of Spirit Wine. He could not totally remember what happened but he was pretty sure that it was a pretty wild night. One of the wildest nights he ever had in his lifetime.

Checking on his surrounding a letter on the bedside table was placed. He opened the letter and checked out the contet:

"Hey, brother Fang! Just to let you know, you are in the guest room of my apartment. It would be great if you will be able to wake up when the first day of school starts. The school starts on January 8th by the way, but it doesn't matter since the first day of school is all about introduction of the school and the courses that will be taken. You mentioned that it doesn't matter what program you will be in thus we have decided for ourselves for you to be enrolled to the same program with us which is the Bachelors in Science and Arts of Cultivation.

P.S. I will be sending the details of the curriculum on your messenger.

-Shi Hao"

Fang Yue was lost after reading the letter from Shi Hao. As he checked his phone which was about to be fully drained, a series of notification was posted. The top list was a series of notification of Shi Hao's messages. He checked it out first and the content was all pictures and mini clips together with Wang Lou Lan on the campus, the dinner night with them and the school's program curriculum.

From Monday to Friday, his class would always starts at nine in the morning and sometimes, it would end at four or five in the afternoon. The official start of the class was on 11th, checking on the date and time on his phone, it was already January 11 at 8:47 AM. Fang Yue was dumbstruck when he saw this. He was commatozed for a week. Is that even possible? He can't help but ask himself about this.

After being dumbstruck for a minute, a nauseating smell invaded his nose which helped him realized that there's no time to waste anymore. He directly went to the shower to help himself with hot and refreshing bath.

After taking a bath for only five minutes, never did Fang Yue knew when he passed by in the mirror that his uneven skin tone before was now very fair and his figure which have layers of fat was now slender. He quickly donned the school uniform that Shi Hao also provided to him which was a bit loose yet exactly the right size for his average height.

Getting out of the apartment, looking around, Fang Yue saw a student who goes to the same school with him. "Hey there, brother. Can you tell me the directions going to the Martial Saint Academy campus?"

The student was giving Fang Yue a weird gaze after asking this question. "Err..aren't you already in the campus?"

"What?!" Fang Yue was not able to comprehend this statement right away. After realizing what ths student told him, Shi Hao's apartment was located inside the school's campus. He quickly reached for his phone on his pocket and opened the picture of his class sched.

"Can you tell me which building is this course being held?" Fang Yue showed the picture to the student.

"Hmm..Basics of Martial Arts. This is held in the College of Martial Arts and Sciences building. Going up the top of the mountain, the first building that you'll notice is the College of Cultivation Arts and Sciences which has an antique wooden structure, Beside this building, you should be able to see a white cemented building which has a structure of a Pantheon, that is the College of Martial Arts and Sciences. You should take the shuttle service to go there. It would take you at least thirty minute going there on foot...if you already knew that." Thankfully, the student that Fang Yue asked was very informative. After getting the information that he needed, he slightly bowed to the student and thanked him.

Luckily, after getting out of the apartment's building, Fang Yue was able to encounter a shuttle service right away that took him right away to the building of his first class. I was already a quarter past nine when he finally found the room for his class. He gulped a mouthful of air first before pushing the door to enter his first class. He was nervous and excited at the same time, wondering how will be his first impression would be.

Upon entering the room, he could hear his fellow classmates were already starting to introduce themselves one by one. He slowly closed the door as he entered the room but the door was making louder creaking noise the slower he closed it. Thus, he was noticed right away by his fellow classmates and by his professor which was a stunnig woman.

"Ahh, you're just perfectly in time. You must be Fang Yue." The stunning professor greeted the young man who was foolishly sneaking inside the class. The student who introduced himself was the last one thus, it became the perfect time for his late introduction to be announced.

Wryly smiling, "Ahh yes, I am indeed Fang Yue. I'm really sorry for tardiness on the very first day of class, Miss. I promised this won't ever happen again." Fang Yue bowed in apology.

The stunning woman only slightly chuckled towards the young man's reaction. "It's alright since this is just the official first day of class but, I won't tolerate this behavior, okay?"

Fang Yue vigorously nodded his head as he heard the sweet voice of the stunning professor.

"So tell me, why did you choose this program?" The stunning professor asked.

But Fang Yue could only scratch the side of his head as he replied, "Well..it was my friends who chose this program for me, actually.."

The stunning professor was now curious. She could tell that this young man was only starting on the path of cultivation as she could sense that Fang Yue was still a mortal and had just recently opened the nodes in his body. But, what really made him curious though is that the nodes in his entire body were open and they are as twice as opened than the normal cultivators. "May I know who are your friends?"

"Eh?" Fang Yue was surprused why the professor askex him about this. He hesitantly answered, "I'm not sure if you know them..they are Shi Hao and Wang Lou Lan."

The class was was greatly shocked when they heard about this. Whispers and murmurs were starting to create noises all over. Who would not be astounded by this though? A student of F block which was the second lowest section of the entire batch. The other blocks calls this F as Failure and the lowest was the G for Garbage. To think a trash person was friends with someone in the Specialized section. It was impossible!

"I see." The stunning woman was now fully interested with what this mortal young man can bring but for now, she decided to observe first. "Quiet down class, the lesson is now about to start."

After a full two hours lecture about the basic of Martial Arts, the building's bell rang signifying that the class is over. The students slowly stood up as they thanked the stunning professor then got out of the classroom. Fang Yue became very interested as the lecture of the stunning professor tackled deeper and deeper towards the basics of Martial Arts. Every incites that Fang Yuan gained about the discussed topic, he would asked questions about it. These questions benefitted the other students thus no one complained about him.

"Fang Yue." When Fang Yue was about to exit the classroom mulling about the lessons that he've learned, the stunning professor called out to him.

"Hmm..yes, Ms. Li?" Fang Yue curiously answered.

"I just noticed how interested you are about the subject, and your questions from the beginning were like you have no basic knowledge when it comes to martial arts and cultivation at all." Ms. Li Hui opened up her observation.

"Ahh..hehe" Fang Yue can only scratch the back of his head as he replied, "Well, I really have no complete idea to any of this from the start, Ms. Li. I grew in the main capital, and knowledge about martial arts and cultivation...comparing it to our human body, it is only at the layer of the skin that was being taught, unlike here, it is being taught down to the bones."

"I see." Ms. Li nodded as she smiled in realization. "It must be fate that you were introduced to the world of Martial Arts."

"Here." Ms. Li handed a thick book to Fang Yue. "Since you are only starting to walk on this road, this will be a very big help to you."

"Thank you, Ms. Li." Fang Yue curiously looked at the book that was handed to him. As he saw the title written on the book, it was called Science of Foundation Arts.

Foundation Arts are what the martial artists or cultivators practiced before starting to walk down the very road of the Dao. This knowledge will also help you learn what path do you want to take.

All paths lead down to Dao but, choosing your first step is important. There are six paths forming a triangle within a triangle. First three main paths which forms the outer triangle are the Body, Spirit and Soul. The inverted inner triangle formed the three secondary paths which are the combinations of the three main paths; Body and Soul, Body and Spirit, and Soul and Spirit.

"Brother!" A very tall pale young man together with him was a graceful young woman called out to Fang Yue who was walking down the hallway while fully absorbed from the book that Ms. Li handed to him.

As the party was about to approach each other, the hands of the very tall pale young man clamped down to the shoulders of Fang Yue.

"Boo!" The loud voice of the very tall pale young man not just startled Fang Yue but some of the students who were in the hallway.

"Jeezus..!" Fang Yue can't help but exclaim.

"Hahaha! What got you out of this world?" The very tall young man snatched the book that Fang Yue was reading with his pale muscular hands.

"Shi Hao! Wang Lou Lan!" Fang Yue finally recognized the two.

"Science of Foundation Arts.." Shi Hao who was looking at the book that fully absorbed Fang Yue kept nodding.

"How did I became commatozed for five days?" Fang Yue eyed the two, looking for answers.

Wang Lou Lan only smirked as she shook her head while when Shi Hao heard this, he only laughed hard. "That was really a funny story. Come, lets eat while we talk about it. I bet you are starving like a ghost after sleeping for five days. I was already thinking of putting you on dextrose back then, you know. Haha!"

After hearing the word eat, as if a magic word, Fang Yue's stomach rumbled loudly.
