Chapter 150: Half-Moon Academy

Half-Moon Academy is the most renowned arcane and martial academy on the Kasla Continent, boasting the continent's top-tier faculty and students.

Half-Moon Academy does not belong to any single nation; it stands independent above all countries. However, its students come from royal families, nobles, or commoners from all the nations across the Kasla Continent. It is precisely because of this that Half-Moon Academy has stood proudly on the Kasla Continent for thousands of years, largely because every nation on the continent counts many outstanding Half-Moon graduates among its ranks.

If any nation were to threaten Half-Moon Academy, then, as students of this academy, they would undoubtedly defend its honor. Even if only a minority, the power of this minority should not be underestimated. Those who graduate from Half-Moon Academy are no ordinary people! They are either princes of some kingdom or high-ranking ministers of another.

Thus, the continent has tacitly acknowledged the latent status of Half-Moon Academy. In turn, Half-Moon Academy does not use its influence to meddle in affairs, focusing solely on its educational mission. Half-Moon Academy is located on the Gale Plains of the Kasla Continent. The Gale Plains do not belong to any nation, situated in the central region of the Kasla Continent.

And Half-Moon Academy stands precisely in the center of the Gale Plains. It is the only structure on the entire Gale Plains.

Half-Moon Academy was founded thousands of years ago by the Half-Moon Archmage. The Half-Moon Archmage was renowned throughout the world at that time and one of the most powerful experts of his era.

For unknown reasons, the Half-Moon Archmage established what would later become the continent's top academy.

The grounds of Half-Moon Academy are vast, so vast it's hard to believe it's merely a magic and martial arts academy. Its current scale is comparable to that of an ordinary small city. Just imagine, how large is even an ordinary small city? And Half-Moon Academy is merely an academy.

Several months later, Lin Xing finally arrived at Half-Moon Academy, weary from his long journey.

During his time with the Red Dragon Legion, Lin Xing stayed for quite a while, comparing notes on cultivation techniques with Lin Zhantian, which allowed him to use his magic more proficiently. However, magic is not something easily mastered. Lin Xing has only grasped the basics for now.

Looking at the city-like Half-Moon Academy before him, if not for the four grand, flamboyant characters "Half-Moon Academy" inscribed on the extremely majestic main gate, Lin Xing would never have believed that this city-like place was indeed Half-Moon Academy.

"Friend, are you here to enroll too?" Seeing Lin Xing lingering at the academy entrance, several individuals who seemed to be students, originally sitting by the gate, approached and asked. Lin Xing nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here to enroll."

"Just in time. Today is the last day for enrollment. If you had arrived any later, you would have had to wait until next year for another chance."

Hearing this, Lin Xing let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had made it.

"Well then, friend, shall we proceed with the enrollment now? What's your name? How old are you this year? Which country are you from?" the person inquired.

"Lone Star. My name is Lone Star," Lin Xing replied after a moment's thought, deciding to use the name Lone Star. After all, he didn't care about the graduation certificate from this academy. Even if it was later discovered that his name was false, it wouldn't matter much.

"I've come from the Huaxia Empire. Fifteen years old."

The person took out a crystal-like object, seemingly recording something into it. After a while, he handed the crystal card to Lin Xing and said, "This contains your enrollment information. The academy's entrance test will be held in ten days. At that time, use this crystal to queue for the test."

Lin Xing probed it with his spiritual sense and saw it recorded his country, gender, and even his image. This was the qualification certificate for the test. Lin Xing stored it in his spatial ring. "For now, you can also use this crystal card to enter and exit our academy temporarily. After the official semester begins, we all need proper identification to come and go. So now, you can go ahead inside. There are hotels and inns inside. You can find lodging there first. If you pass the academy's test, the academy will make further arrangements."

Lin Xing expressed his thanks and walked into Half-Moon Academy.

Passing through the academy gate, Lin Xing glanced around and saw this city-like institution.

Inside, the scale was indeed that of a city, with streets, buildings, and shops.

Perhaps because it was enrollment period, the place was bustling with many people strolling along the streets. Lin Xing walked slowly down the street alone, observing the scenery, while Xiao Hei and Hei Hu had already been stored inside the pet space. Here, Lin Xing temporarily wanted to avoid causing any trouble.

Although he knew Caroline and Shi Ya were somewhere within the academy, Lin Xing didn't want to seek them out just yet. Finding them wouldn't be easy anyway, given the vast size of Half-Moon Academy. Moreover, Lin Xing wanted to give them a surprise.

Lin Xing strolled casually through the academy, taking in the lively surroundings. The sky wasn't dark yet, and Lin Xing wasn't ready to find an inn to rest. It was better to familiarize himself with the environment first. After a while, Lin Xing suddenly remembered the letter the old man had given him, addressed to some Vice-Principal named Charles. Although he didn't know what Lin Wen had written in the letter, Lin Xing could easily guess it was probably words asking Charles to look out for him.

After some thought, Lin Xing decided not to use the letter. He was currently using the identity of Lone Star. But if he went to find that Charles, his real identity would be exposed. It might even lead to unnecessary complications.

His current identity was that of a Thunder Magic practitioner—Lone Star!

After spending the entire afternoon wandering around the academy and getting a preliminary feel for Half-Moon Academy's environment, Lin Xing went to a hotel, ordered some food and drink, and ate by himself. Seeing the sky gradually darken, Lin Xing settled the bill and left. He found a relatively large inn, booked a room, and waited for the academy's entrance test ten days later.

Time passed unknowingly. Ten days later, Half-Moon Academy began its final pre-enrollment tests for all registered students today. Passing this test would make one a student of Half-Moon Academy. If one failed the test, then they could only be asked to return home.
