Chapter 24: Dormitory Buildings and Power Elevators
When Yuehai and the others arrived at the female dormitory building in Block T5 of District 17, they were already stunned by the towering structure, but they checked their dormitory numbers.
Rooms 5 and 6 on the seventeenth floor left the four girls feeling inexplicably lost at the daunting height. Could they really climb up to the seventeenth floor with their physical strength?
The answer is no, unless they use the convenience of magic, but magic also consumes magical power. Thinking about the seventeenth floor, it seems impossible no matter how you look at it!
Yuehai couldn’t understand either. Why design it so high? However, just as they stood dumbfounded outside, the dormitory administrator suddenly stuck his head out of the security room window and shouted.
“What are you standing there foolishly for outside!”
Neruko was startled by the voice of the other party, but upon closer inspection, she realized that this administrator had the same black hair as Yuehai, but with black pupils, clearly a Vermillion Bird person. Moreover, her features were also very delicate. Although there was a hint of maturity on her face due to the passage of time, one could still feel her charm.
“Well, we’re new students who just arrived in Avalon today, but the dormitory we’re assigned to is just too high. We’re really worried about it,” Neruko spoke frankly, causing Damiyala to swallow all the prepared lines she had in mind.
The dormitory administrator didn’t seem surprised at all. She turned and walked out of the security room, saying.
“Every year we have little ones like you. Come with me.”
With that, she turned and led Yuehai and the others into the dormitory building. Inside, there was a corridor made of polished marble, illuminated by moderately bright night stones, making the corridor look very beautiful. Yuehai and the others felt a sense of relaxation as they walked inside.
“Where are you all from?” the administrator asked suddenly as she led the way. Now it was Damiyala’s turn to showcase her eloquence. She smiled faintly and replied.
“We are all students from the Empire of Sigril. This is Yuehai, this is Neruko, and this is Angel. We have heard that Avalon is not only the best academy on the continent, but also a meeting place between the Vermillion Bird Kingdom and the Empire. We are very eager to interact with students from the Vermillion Bird Kingdom, which is why we came all the way to Avalon Academy.”
This statement was clearly meant to please the administrator, who naturally smiled and shook her head.
“What’s there to interact with students from the Vermillion Bird Kingdom? They’re lazy and rigid, and their kids are as clumsy as bears. You’d better not learn their bad habits.”
“How can that be? The Vermillion Bird Kingdom is known for its etiquette. We from Sigril could never match that.”
Three minutes later, after a series of sweet attacks from Damiyala, the administrator was laughing uncontrollably. She suddenly walked up to a door and addressed Yuehai and the others, “My name is Shu Yue Ti, the dormitory administrator here. If you need anything, including matters that require force, come find me!” Shu Yue Ti even slapped her own arm, clearly indicating her readiness to throw a punch at any man’s face without hesitation!
Damiyala naturally expressed her gratitude, and several of them even asked for Shu Yue Ti’s magical communication stone frequency. If they encountered any difficult situations in the future, they could easily consult with this administrator. Whether in terms of strength or authority, Shu Yue Ti would be a very reliable ally.
At this moment, Shu Yue Ti opened the door, revealing a very small space inside, which could probably only accommodate about a dozen people standing. Everyone looked puzzled, but Shu Yue Ti took the lead and gestured for them to come in quickly.
Yuehai and the others didn’t hesitate and walked in one by one. Shu Yue Ti immediately closed the door and pressed a circular ring with the number seventeen on it using her index finger, which was located in the corner to the right.
Yuehai clearly saw that Shu Yue Ti pressed a circular ring with the number seventeen on it.
Then, suddenly, there was a muffled bang, and everyone felt as if the ground had disappeared beneath their feet. However, they realized they were still standing on the floor, and nothing unexpected had occurred.
Just as everyone was wondering, suddenly there was a “ding” sound inside the room.
Shu Yue Ti immediately opened the door and said, “Everyone, come out, come out.”
Yuehai and the others were truly confused this time. Why did they come out of the room shortly after entering? Wasn’t the administrator supposed to take them to the seventeenth floor?
Shu Yue Ti naturally noticed everyone’s confusion and couldn’t help shaking her head. Pointing to a floor-to-ceiling window, she said.
“You go and take a look for yourselves.”
Damiyala seemed to have thought of something and hurried over. Then, she was immediately stunned! Her reaction piqued the curiosity of the other female companions. As they one by one looked at the tiny crowd outside the floor-to-ceiling window, their heads buzzed with disbelief.
“Is this the seventeenth floor?” Yuehai was shocked and quickly calculated the height of the seventeenth floor. Meanwhile, Damiyala muttered to herself.
“I’ve heard about some places introducing fast elevators for going up and down. I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, but I didn’t expect the speed to be this fast!”
Shu Yue Ti crossed her arms and looked at the astonished group of youngsters, couldn’t help but feel proud as she said.
“These are all inventions of His Majesty, the Divine Mechanism, one of the ten divine beings. His Majesty’s thinking is simply incomparable to ordinary gods. Even His Majesty, the Radiant King, and His Majesty, the Slaughter King, admire his ingenious ideas and praise them endlessly. They even say that the Divine Mechanism will lead the entire Noah’s world to new heights.”
The Divine Mechanism is a central figure in the Vermillion Bird Kingdom, an unparalleled existence. Basically, anyone with a hint of patriotism would greatly admire the Divine Mechanism.
“And this transportation device is called a power elevator. As long as you stand in this room and close the door, you can instantly reach the floor you want to go to. So, there’s no need to worry as much as Neruko said.”
“Wow~ That’s really great!” Neruko joyfully danced around, and a few people selectively ignored each other’s unladylike appearance. Then they continued, “So, Sister Yue Ti, we’re staying in rooms five and six. Feel free to come by if you have any requests!”
“Okay, okay, make sure to have fun at school.”
“Alright, goodbye, Sister Yue Ti.”
After parting ways with Shu Yue Ti, Yuehai and the other two immediately looked at Damiyala with respect. She truly lived up to her reputation as the descendant of the “Judgement” lineage, the young miss of the family. Her eloquence was exceptional. The candies she gave to the administrator made her ecstatic. With Damiyala’s efforts, they would surely have an easier time in the dormitory.
“You’re welcome~” Damiyala replied cheekily. She then stood tall, striking a pose that resembled the statue of the Slaughter King. The others burst into laughter, while Angel remained expressionless. However, the softness in her eyes hinted that she was in good spirits too.
“Alright, let’s go to our rooms for now. If you need anything, you can come and find me or Yuehai later. We’re just next door.”
“Yeah, okay!” Neruko said with a smile before grabbing Angel’s hand and running towards room number six.
“Little Angel, today I will definitely make you laugh to repay you for mocking me this morning!”
Angel looked expressionlessly at Yuehai and Damiyala. Although her face didn’t convey any information, they knew Angel was seeking their help.
Unfortunately, Damiyala and Yuehai both showed friendly smiles and waved at Angel, showing no intention of stopping Neruko from having her fun.
