Part 1 - Notting Academy

Continent of Spirit, Fasno Province of the Heaven Dou Empire, Notting City, Notting Academy.

A boy stands in front of an academy gate. He has black hair and black eyes, with a bandage covering his left eye. His face looks very sweet due to his young age. He wears a white shirt and black pants.

The boy's name is Su Fan. He is someone who reincarnates into the world of Soul Land. Since he is not a fan of Soul Land, his knowledge about the characters and even the storyline is very limited.

As he arrives in front of Notting Academy's gate, he sees a beautiful little girl dressed in pink standing before a gatekeeper. Hearing Su Fan's footsteps, the girl and the gatekeeper look in his direction.

The gatekeeper smiles upon seeing him and bows. He recognizes Su Fan because Su Fan is a famous spirit hunter in Notting City. He is often hired by spirit masters from Notting Academy to hunt spirit beasts.

"Honorable spirit master, what brings you here?"

"This time, I want to enroll in this academy."

"Very well. Please, Master Spirit Master."

As Su Fan is about to enter, the beautiful girl suddenly grabs his hand, making Su Fan look at her.

"Can I help you?"

"Are you also a new student at this academy?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Great! Then how about we enter together?"

"Sure."

"That's great!"

They both take their proof from the Spirit Hall and walk into the academy. The girl then looks at Su Fan from head to toe.

"Hey, my name is Xiao Wu. 'Wu' from the word 'dance.' My spirit is the Soft Bone Rabbit, and it's really cute. What about you?"

Hearing the name Xiao Wu, Su Fan is surprised and looks at her face for a moment. He sees her cute face staring at him.

"This girl is the main heroine? No wonder she has such a sweet and beautiful face."

"My name is Su Fan. My spirit is the Kusanagi Sword. Nice to meet you, Xiao Wu."

"Hey, Su Fan, where are we going now?"

"We need to find the academy's administration office."

"Do you know the way?"

"Yes. Just follow me."

They walk into the school building, and the administration office is right in front of the entrance. They enter and see two teachers inside the office.

Not long after, they complete the registration process, and Su Fan pays the tuition fees for both himself and Xiao Wu without telling her. After finishing, they leave the office carrying their academy uniforms. Su Fan then stores both their uniforms in his spatial ring. They are assigned to the first dormitory, the noble dormitory, in room number 15.

"Hey, Su Fan, people seem to know you. Are you an important person in this academy?"

"No. It's because I help spirit masters obtain their spirit rings. So, I meet a lot of people quite often."

Hearing Su Fan's explanation, Xiao Wu's expression suddenly changes. Su Fan knows the reason—because Xiao Wu is actually a 100,000-year-old spirit beast.

"Su Fan, what do you think about spirit beasts?"

"I think spirit beasts are no different from humans. In terms of nature and behavior, they are quite similar. I believe that even without spirit rings, humans and spirit beasts would still be enemies. Because, in the end, the root of their conflict is self-interest and greed."

Xiao Wu appears to be deep in thought, while Su Fan remains silent. They continue walking toward the first dormitory. When they arrive and open the door, there is a hallway that splits into different rooms. They walk further and finally find room number 15, then enter the room.

Upon entering, Xiao Wu's expression brightens when she sees how luxurious the room is. The room contains two lavish beds with thick blankets big enough for one person, two study desks, and a wardrobe.

"Wow! This room is so big. Luckily, we're not staying in that shabby dormitory from earlier."

"Shabby dormitory?"

"Yeah, I saw a rundown dormitory earlier. If I remember correctly, it's called the Seventh Dormitory. That place is full of ugly-looking people too."

Hearing Seventh Dormitory, Su Fan feels like he is forgetting something important.

"Maybe it's just my imagination."

Su Fan and Xiao Wu change into their school uniforms and then go to look for the school cafeteria. On the way, Su Fan meets someone he knows.

"Xiao Chenyu?"

"Su Fan, do you know him?"

"Yes, he is the son of a famous noble in this city."

Seeing Su Fan, Xiao Chenyu approaches him along with his noble group.

"Brother Su Fan, are you attending school here now?"

"Yes, as you can see. By the way, Xiao Chenyu, where is the cafeteria?"

"What a coincidence! My friends and I are heading there too. How about joining us, Brother Su Fan?"

"Alright."

They walk to the cafeteria, guided by Xiao Chenyu. Since it's not far from the dormitory, they arrive quickly.

"Su Fan, this place is huge!"

Su Fan smiles as he watches Xiao Wu's excitement. Xiao Chenyu then invites them to the second floor of the cafeteria. After arriving, they each order their meals. Su Fan orders chicken for himself, while Xiao Wu orders vegetables, with a portion of carrots larger than any other vegetable.

Su Fan introduces Xiao Wu to them, and when Xiao Wu reveals her spirit power level, Xiao Chenyu and his friends are both shocked and show their respect to her.

"Hey! Isn't that Wang Sheng, the poor kid?"

"Yeah, totally poor. He probably can never afford to come to the second floor."

While they enjoy their meals, Xiao Chenyu's group can be heard mocking the people downstairs, making Xiao Wu curious. She walks over to them.

"What are you guys doing?"

"Ah! Sister Xiao Wu, we are just joking around with the people below. Look."

Below, Wang Sheng stands next to the protagonist of Soul Land, Tang San. The protagonist, upon seeing Xiao Wu for the first time, is immediately captivated. However, unfortunately for him, Xiao Wu seems unimpressed with Tang San, who currently looks rather plain.

Wang Sheng glares at Xiao Wu and Xiao Chenyu's group.

"What's with your eyes? Are you looking for trouble?!"

"Hahaha! Sister Xiao Wu, no need to get mad. Wang Sheng wouldn't dare mess with us because he is a loser. Hahaha!"

Feeling more and more irritated, Wang Sheng decides to walk away. Unlike him, Tang San, who is currently experiencing love at first sight, doesn't seem to mind Xiao Wu's comments at all.

Unaware of the interaction between the protagonist and the heroine, Su Fan simply enjoys his meal in peace.
