“Sorry, it's not enrollment season right now. We don't just admit students who haven't passed the entrance exam for no reason.”
The woman with glasses sitting behind the desk spoke flatly as she looked at the exceptionally beautiful girl standing before her.
Glancing at the ten gold coins placed on the table, she sneered inwardly.
“Money? Do you think I haven't seen money before? You think this little bit is enough to make me give you special treatment? Impossible. I am a person of principle.”
In response...
The girl before her simply waved a hand, doubling the amount of gold coins on the desk.
“Is this enough?”
“Are you insulting me? I will not violate the academy's regulations,” the woman said, her tone sharpening with feigned anger.
Xia Jin waved her hand again.
The gold coins increased to fifty.
“Ah, this... I already said it's impossible. Why don't you understand?” the woman stammered. Her tone remained slightly impatient, but she wavered.
Xia Jin continued to add more money.
One hundred gold coins!
The woman: “This...”
Two hundred gold coins!
The woman: “...”
Three hundred gold coins!
“Enough... that's enough, stop,” the woman said, quickly clearing her throat. “Actually, I am a person of principle and cannot ignore the academy's regulations. However, within a reasonable framework, there is a way for you to enter the school safely.”
As she spoke, her eyes stole a glance at the pile of gold coins.
This wasn't just a pile anymore; it was practically a small mountain.
This, this, this... although I am a person of principle, she simply gave too much.
So many gold coins!
Faced with such an insane amount, the woman decided she... would break her principles.
“With this much money, if I take it all, I won't have to work for the rest of my life.”
Tempted as she was, she didn't dare take it all in the end.
Some money was too hot to handle.
“I only want a third.”
That was her final principle.
She hurriedly completed Xia Jin's enrollment registration and handed over a set of school uniforms.
“There is no mandatory rule to wear the uniform, but I think you would look very beautiful in it.” Pushing up her glasses, the woman smiled, her tone even carrying a hint of flattery.
Looking at the clothes in her hands and confirming it included a short skirt, Xia Jin pursed her lips, rejecting the idea in her heart.
At most, she would only wear it for herself to see.
She hadn't expected that student outfits with black silks would be popular in another world too.
A black skirt paired with black stockings—many schools in her previous life, especially private ones, loved that combination, usually topped off with a blazer.
Girls confident in their figures looked better in them; those who weren't... well.
“Forget it, I'm not planning on wearing it anyway.”
She usually wore midi skirts that reached her knees.
She was too embarrassed to wear a miniskirt that short; one jump and it would leave too much to the imagination.
...
At Xia Jin's request, she was assigned to the same dormitory as Linya.
Naturally, the girl's original roommate was directly displaced.
Entering the campus with the school-issued keys and clothing, Xia Jin soon arrived at the dormitory building.
Glancing upward, she saw a girl with long blue hair waving at her incessantly.
“Linya, who is that?”
Seeing the beautiful girl downstairs, another mage girl standing beside Linya was stunned.
She swore this was the most perfect girl she had ever seen in her life, to the point where the thought “How can someone be this beautiful?” popped into her head.
“She's a friend I've known since we were kids,” Linya introduced her, following Xia Jin's instructions.
“Your friend? You never mentioned her to me.”
The roommate was shocked.
Shortly after, Xia Jin walked up.
Linya immediately lost interest in talking to her classmate. “Alright, I won't waste any more time with you. This is her first time at the dorm, so I need to show her around. See you next time.”
After dismissing the other girl, Linya led Xia Jin into the room.
“Princess.”
She immediately dropped to one knee.
“Don't call me Princess for now. To prevent my identity from being exposed, just call me... Xiao Li.”
Su Li was the name she had randomly made up for herself.
Since it was just a fake name to use with others, it didn't matter at all.
“Yes.”
Rising to her feet and looking at the Queen sitting on the edge of the bed, Linya was excited beyond words.
She had now completely become a part of the Zerg.
Though she still looked like a frail mage girl on the outside, her heart belonged entirely to the Queen.
Seeing the Princess's gentle expression, she felt an indescribable thrill.
After all... she was in such close proximity to the Queen.
Her past self had been too ignorant; the Zerg were the most wonderful civilization. Whether in terms of lifespan or power, they crushed humanity. How could such a civilization not become powerful?
“I came here because I want to hear your intelligence,” Xia Jin said. She had vaguely sensed Linya's emotions but didn't pay them much mind.
“The kingdom's intelligence network is very efficient; they already know about the existence of the Zerg. Perhaps because zerglings are everywhere in Amelo's territory, specific information about them has reached the high-ranking officials. The academy also received a report, and some mentors have even turned it into a course. If the Princess wishes, you might be able to attend a class on it tomorrow.”
“Fine, I'll check it out then.”
Since it was her first day, her records still had to be submitted to the teachers for review, so she couldn't attend classes yet.
Moreover, it was already dark, so Xia Jin lay directly on the bed and closed her eyes.
She was resting her mind.
That night, both of them took turns bathing.
With the Queen by her side, Linya couldn't sleep at all.
She tossed and turned, her heart filled with the desire to get closer to the other woman.
The Queen possessed a mysterious attraction.
Linya told herself not to let her thoughts wander and forced herself into a state of calm.
It wasn't until morning, when Xia Jin sat up, that she noticed the girl's complexion looked a bit haggard.
