Chapter 8: Registration Turmoil (Part 2)_1

```

Lanxi covered her mouth and said, "Praise Falan! So you really are... to be able to pass the exam like that, you must have good luck indeed. Luckily, you chose the Divine Music Department. We have fewer people here, and the elimination rate is relatively low. The other departments have a very high elimination rate. Every year, at least two hundred thousand people register at Milan Magic Martial Academy, but the number of recruits has never exceeded two thousand—that's a one percent chance. The Milan Magic Martial Academy is divided into the Southern and Northern Districts. The Southern District is for warriors; all combat-related majors are over there. In our Northern District, it's the magic area, with all the mage majors located here. Whether it's the Southern or Northern District, the teaching areas are situated in the central part of the academy. The outer regions are the practice fields for various specialties. It's a good thing that the roads between academic areas are close; otherwise, we would have to walk a long distance to get from one place to another. Today is the last day for registration; all majors are registering together."

While they were talking, Brigitte had already led the twelve of them to a tall teaching building. Many temporary stone platforms had been set up in front of the building for new student registration fees, without distinction between majors. Brigitte waved her hand and said, "Alright, you can go by yourselves. Classes officially start the day after tomorrow. After you finish registering, you can either rest in the dormitories assigned by the academy or go out for a walk. However, remember to stay safe." After saying this, she glanced at Yin Zhu among the girls before summoning her Jade Unicorn and leaving.

"Praise Falan! Look, the beautiful newcomers from the Divine Music Department have arrived." Someone shouted without knowing who it was.

Although the Divine Music Master is a niche profession at Milan Magic Martial Academy, it must be admitted that almost all the girls who choose this career are beauties. Instantly, the eleven beauties became the center of attention at the venue. The eyes of all the new students from the other departments who were registering focused on them.

Wherever they are, beauties have a tremendous impact. The newcomers who had been lining up suddenly became somewhat disordered, with many eagerly offering flattery.

"Come here to register, beauties of the Divine Music Department never need to line up." Several registration points were immediately made available, and amidst the stars surrounding the moon, the eleven beauties from the Divine Music Department quickly completed their registration.

Yin Zhu was following behind the beauties. Just when he was also preparing to register, he was stopped by someone.

"Kid, which department are you from, thinking of muddying the waters?" Two tall male students directly blocked Ye Yinzhu, glaring angrily at him.

Yin Zhu was startled and said, "I am also from the Divine Music Department. Why can't I register?"

"You're from the Divine Music Department? You should think of a better lie. How can there be boys choosing the Divine Music Department?" One of the red-haired male students sneered disdainfully, showing off his large fists. Yin Zhu's handsome face easily aroused the jealousy of the male students, especially since he arrived with the beauties.

"Who says the Divine Music Department can't have male students? I vouch for him, he is indeed from our Divine Music Department," said the short-haired beauty, who claimed to be a flute player, standing beside Yin Zhu without anyone knowing when she appeared.

"Ah?"

In an instant, the whole place went silent. Whether it was the students who were registering or those offering flattery to the Divine Music Department beauties, everyone's gaze was now focused on Yin Zhu, making him the center of attention all at once.

The red-haired male student stared blankly at Yin Zhu, "He, he really is from the Divine Music Department?"

The short-haired beauty said proudly, "That's right. Do you think Xueling would lie?"

The male student's face changed, and suddenly, he took a quick step toward Yin Zhu. As Yin Zhu braced himself for what might come next, the male student excitedly grabbed his hand.

```

"Idol, you must be a rare specimen in the art of picking up girls, right? To get close to the beauties of the Divine Music Department, you're actually willing to harm yourself to get in. Respect, I have so much respect for you. Idol, take me as your little bro. You must teach me your supreme techniques of flirting."

The whole place erupted with laughter. In a moment, gazes of envy, jealousy, and disdain all fell on Yin Zhu. And from that moment, among the blossoming flowers a streak of green, the first male student of the Divine Music Department, the Casanova, and other such titles were all bestowed upon Yin Zhu, making him the center of attention among the newcomers and even a celebrity in the entire Milan Magic Martial Academy.

Yin Zhu shook off the other's hand, frowning, "Harm myself? Why would I harm myself? Has there never been a male student in the Divine Music Department?"

The redhead student replied without hesitation, "Of course, in the hundreds of years since Milan Magic Martial Academy was established, you are definitely the only one. Idol, I admire your spirit of sacrifice. Why didn't I think of this before? I'm Feschera of the Swordsmanship Department, you have to remember me! Since you're in the Divine Music Department, you should hurry and register." While saying this, he thought to himself, this kid seems so naïve, getting on his good side in case there's no chance to get close to the beauties of the Divine Music Department later? He can't possibly hog all those beauties to himself, right? With this thought, a sleazy smile formed at the corner of his mouth.

With Xueling vouching that Yin Zhu was from the Divine Music Department, no one stopped him now.

"One Hundred Gold Coins." Behind the desk was a teacher with an impartial face and a cold voice that seemed to bring the chill of winter.

"What? That expensive." Yin Zhu stared dumbfounded, taking out his only possessions, ten gold coins, from the ring Anya gave him, "Teacher, this is all I have." Although he had considered that the tuition here would be expensive, he hadn't imagined it to be outrageously so; One Hundred Gold Coins could support a common family for several years, yet here it was merely the fee for one semester.

"If you don't have money, what are you doing at Milan Magic Martial Academy? This is just the tuition and room and board. The costs for Magical Materials and facility usage are calculated separately. Since you don't have the money, get out." The teacher waved his hands in disgust at Yin Zhu, like shooing away a fly.

"And here I thought the person who dared to criticize our Mercenary Group was someone impressive. Turns out it's an idiot who can't even afford the tuition." The people who had been queuing parted ways automatically, and a pink figure came into view.

This person was known to Ye Yinzhu, the magic girl from the S-rank mercenary team he had seen earlier at the Mercenary Guild. At this moment, she was closing in on Ye Yinzhu .step by step, and the students registering were giving way, obviously recognizing her.

"I'm not an idiot," Yin Zhu said in a firm tone.

The girl snorted, "Coming to Milan Magic Martial Academy without tuition fees, and choosing the Divine Music Department as well, aren't you an idiot? A poor boy daring to comment on our Zi Luolan Mercenary Group. I think you better roll out of here quickly. Milan Magic Martial Academy doesn't welcome paupers."

"You..." Yin Zhu glared, stepping forward with his left foot, his right fist already clenched, barely suppressing the fury in his heart, "I don't hit women."

"Haha..." The girl laughed aloud, "What a joke, you want to hit me? Based on you, a Red-rank Mage? If you don't have the money for tuition, just get lost. Don't make me sick of seeing you." Her words were filled with contempt.

"Who says he doesn't have the money for tuition? I've paid for him." An icy voice that sent shivers down one's spine rang out from the crowd. Another path opened in the midst of the crowd, revealing a tall figure in a white robe, with a cold and quiet aura. It was the white-robed girl who had performed on stage with Yin Zhu at the auditorium.
