Perhaps it was because there were many children of nobles and wealthy merchants among the students. Apart from the exorbitant tuition fees, Starknight Academy's residential students were also treated quite well.
There were four rooms and one living room, with all the basic necessities and hot water available 24 hours a day.
The decor was comparable to a high-class hotel, but it wasn't always full.
According to the seniors, apart from the fact that the residential fees felt like robbery, the more important thing was that the residential students had to strictly follow the attendance system.
Lights out at 10 pm every day, students had to go out for exercises at 7 am, and then they had to do their homework in the morning. How could many young nobles, who used to have a rich lifestyle, endure such a lifestyle?
Rorschach's dorm 301 only had Lynn and him.
Unlike what Su Nanna had expected, Rorschach's life wasn't as happy and carefree as it seemed.
In a new town, he wouldn't be able to adapt to the local tastes and accents.
In a new area, he would have to adapt to the local climate and customs.
In a new country, his biological clock, climate, language, and customs would all have to be redone.
In a new world …
Not only would he have to redo everything previously mentioned, even his life's values would have to be redone. However, some things would be fundamentally different.
"My hair is growing longer again …"
Rorschach's day started at 5 am.
The first thing he did every morning was probably to cut his hair in front of a mirror.
Only at this moment would Rorschach truly feel as if he had left his hometown.
"This is indeed a different world where magic exists. Will it affect my future if my hair grows so quickly … I'm bald, but I haven't become stronger yet. "
Yes, he cut his hair every day. After a night, his hair would at least reach his shoulders, and sometimes even his waist.
Even without any medical knowledge, Rorschach knew that his hair and nails growing too quickly meant that his metabolism was too vigorous, and that his body was undergoing abnormal changes.
No, he didn't even need any external signs. He only needed to close his eyes to feel something flowing through his blood vessels, and something was rapidly growing in his body.
Even during the day, his increasingly violent heartbeat would sometimes sound like thunder in his ears, making Rorschach wonder if it would jump out of his chest.
Sometimes, he would be woken up by the roars of wild beasts in the middle of the night. Only when he woke up would he realize that everything around him was peaceful.
Could it really be that his overly intense heartbeat caused him to be overly sensitive …? Rorschach could only console himself like this.
At this moment, beside the desk, there was a reference book titled "From Earth to Aishi: Prevention and First Aid for High Magic Disease".
Although the book was filled with notes, Rorschach still discovered that it was completely meaningless to him … It was impossible for a book to be written for a wood spirit who was only a quarter of a wood spirit's blood. His symptoms were completely unrelated to the so-called High Magic Disorder.
High Magic Disease was a comprehensive disease that residents of a technological world had to go through when they came to a magical world like Aishi.
Just like travelers who arrived at high altitudes for the first time, their bodies were often unable to adapt to the low oxygen and high altitudes, thus suffering from a series of syndromes known as altitude sickness.
Ordinary people who lived in areas with zero magic or low magic would find their bodies and souls unable to adapt to high magic environments with Elemental Tides and magic.
Fever, suffocation, and discomfort were all possible. The duration and severity of the symptoms were different for each individual. However, the easiest symptoms would be having you sit on a smoke-filled long-distance bus for seventy-two hours, and then dragging your feet to bungee jump for more than twenty times.
The chances of dying on the spot would be quite low, but it was almost certain that you'd end up half-dead.
Some people would be able to adapt within half a year, while others would be unable to recover for the rest of their lives and would only be forced to return to their hometowns. The most serious cases would be forced to live in a high magic environment, and death was possible.
In the eyes of researchers, rather than calling these two diseases diseases, it was more accurate to call them special conditions.
Drastic changes in the environment would cause the body to change on its own. The body would go from being unable to adapt to the environment to trying its best to adapt to the environment.
And if the body was able to survive, then the person without magic would be able to adapt to the environment and grasp a bit of elemental power … It was said that the most outstanding person would be able to save money on matches for the rest of their lives.
Although the chances of success were slim, and it wouldn't be of much use even if they succeeded, there were still some rich people who would be willing to spend a fortune just to try it once and fulfill their magic/ability dreams, even if there was a ninety-nine percent chance that their efforts would be in vain and they would fall ill.
After all, if simply adapting to a high magic environment was enough to become a mage, then everyone in Aishi would be a mage.
It could be said that every otherworldly traveler who came to Aishi had to do their homework on how to deal with high magic. Rorschach had long since made preparations for it … but there wasn't a single symptom that matched the description.
Was it because the body wasn't able to adapt to the environment? Rorschach only felt that his body was getting better and better, and he was becoming more and more energetic. Everything he ate tasted delicious.
Other people would suffer from high magic for at least half a year, but he was like a fish in water, and his body was getting better and better.
Rorschach didn't need to ask anyone else to know that this was most likely due to his one-fourth wood spirit bloodline.
A few days ago, when he touched the flowerbeds planted by the academy, he even faintly felt that the flowers were complaining that the weather was too dry and that it hadn't rained for a long time. When he took a water bottle to dry himself in the sun twice, he even seemed to hear someone thanking him.
If that was all, Rorschach would still treat it as a good thing. However, there were some things that Rorschach was quite concerned about.
"… This damned natural talent ability is getting more and more annoying."
At this moment, four silver letters were faintly flashing on Rorschach's forehead, which was covered by his hair.
In the past, this would only happen when his natural talent was activated on its own. But now, it couldn't be stopped.
Humans were born equal, but Aishi species all had different natural talents. The natural talents of each species and the average power level of each species were evaluated using an ancient system.
It was said that dragons were known as the Gold Species, while humans were known as the lowest-ranked Iron Species. Ordinary elves were known as the Bronze Species, while the Superior Elves, who only had high-level job classes, were known as the Silver Species. There were very few of them.
The wood spirits were the first Silver Species to be born after the War of Dawn. They were also the trendsetters of that generation.
The wood spirits had their own unique talents and magic systems. They were especially skilled at plant creation, nature magic, and biotechnology.
As a powerful Silver Species, the wood spirits had a natural talent ability known as the Seven Virtues.
As their Mother Nature Goddess became stronger and stronger, the wood spirits naturally became stronger and stronger as well.
Currently, the wood spirits' natural talent abilities were no longer limited to the original Seven Virtues. There were now more than thirty common Virtues. However, Rorschach had done some research and found that his natural talent ability seemed to be unique.
Originally, he had always felt that this natural talent ability was super useless. He didn't intend to become a police officer or detective, so bringing a lie detector would be meaningless. And even if he did become a police officer, he wouldn't lack a lie detector.
However, his younger sister Lori's natural talent ability was much more practical.
The Seven Virtues was "Diligence".
Lori would never get tired. She didn't need to sleep or rest. She could use one portion of her time as three portions of her time.
She could always maintain her peak competitive condition at all times. She could put all her passion and energy into everything she did. What couldn't she do?
Meanwhile, Roland's ability was originally useless. Although it was useful these days, it was becoming more and more of a burden.
"Ahhh, I'm Lori — I mean, Rorschach. Damn it, I still can't do it. "
Honesty wasn't only about others being honest with you. You had to be honest with others as well.
Roland's ability to detect lies had obviously improved over the past few days. Not only could he detect lies, he could also sense the kindness or malice in a person's words.
However, the side effect was that he felt more and more uncomfortable after lying.
If hearing other people's lies was only a physical discomfort, then the pain he felt after lying was no different from going to the guillotine.
Rorschach had already come to a realization that he would soon become someone who couldn't lie anymore.
It didn't sound like anything? Was there really anyone in modern society who couldn't tell a single lie?
Was there anyone who could guarantee that they had never told a single lie before? Even a saint would have to tell a white lie when necessary.
Even worse, he felt like he couldn't control his mouth anymore. Many of his inner thoughts were mysteriously spilling out of his mouth …
What? This was nothing? Let's see what happened next.
"We're all descendants of the sexy Dark Elves in the illustrated handbook. Why are the Gray Elves' figures so bad? Or is it because our school's situation is special? Pfft, pfft, that's basically the Wall of Despair. "
That day, the furious Gray Elf teacher summoned her sisters and showed Rorschach hell …
"7 consecutive victories in the combat test. Haha, I'm not targeting anyone. I'm saying that everyone here is a * * … Cough cough, I'm just joking. Don't take it so seriously, even though you're all * * * * trash. Oh, no, Su, put down that mace!"
That day, Rorschach was so pleased with himself that he faintly saw his sister waving at him from the other side of the river.
"I'm already invincible …"
Cough cough, what happened next was too tragic.
That series of troubles made Rorschach wish he could find a rag to seal his mouth. However, that wasn't the most troublesome part …
"Why is my deskmate and old friend an elf, and the most evil and dangerous Dark Blood Elf in the books at that?"
Originally, in Rorschach's eyes, Su Nanna still had the appearance of an ordinary Chinese person from Earth. However, one day, he suddenly discovered that she was as black as charcoal … It seemed that calling her a little black girl when she was younger wasn't wrong at all.
The most inconceivable thing was that after Rorschach's investigation, in the eyes of others, Su Nanna was still an ordinary person from Earth. She was just a little fiercer, a little more hot-tempered, a little more violent, a little more big-breasted, and a little more dictatorial … While investigating, Rorschach also found out that our new class president was extremely popular. Yep, there definitely wasn't anything strange or selfish about her.
Then, Rorschach investigated her appearance, which was even darker than the gray elf teacher's, as well as what the spider runes behind her ears represented … If it weren't for the fact that Rorschach repeatedly "chatted" about their childhood, as well as the fact that Rorschach's familiar facial features were slightly modified to make sure that his childhood sweetheart hadn't been replaced by an evil Dark Blood Elf, he would have run away long ago.
It would have been fine if that was all, but from his new friend, Rorschach learned that there would be heavy fog every night, making it impossible to see what was happening outside the dorm.
And so, that night, Rorschach curiously peeked outside …
"… Is this really a school and not the frontlines of battle? Damn, why is that guy rushing towards us? "
* Boom! *
That was the first time that Rorschach had ever seen someone self-destruct. Not only that, Rorschach's final target seemed to be his own floor.
Rorschach's crazed expression made it seem as if Rorschach was willing to sacrifice everything to take Rorschach down with him.
At first, Rorschach thought that he was imagining things … But after being ambushed by over a hundred people in one night, with the gray elf teacher's magical fireworks below, and his older brother Lynn slashing and chopping in the hallway outside the dorm, and Su Nanna stabbing him in his back with a dagger. Rorschach closed his eyes and plugged his ears to pretend that he was imagining things. He really was deceiving himself.
The next day, when Rorschach was chatting with the other dorm students, he discovered that they hadn't heard the sounds of fighting at all.
"… You're all sleeping like pigs."
Rorschach finally managed to stop himself from saying this.
At this time, even if Rorschach was an idiot, he knew that his life was now in danger.
