The next day, Fang Li and Sylvia spent the morning exploring Jie Long Academy.
"Since we spent the night here, it wouldn't make sense not to take a look around," Sylvia said, playfully asking Fang Li to be her guide and show her some interesting spots.
However, Fang Li wasn't very familiar with Jie Long himself. As a student, he felt far from qualified. He had never attended regular classes, participated in standard activities, or built any typical relationships. He hadn't completed any regular coursework.
From the day he enrolled and became Fan Xinglou's disciple, Fang Li's only activity at Jie Long had been at the Yellow Dragon Temple. Under Fan Xinglou's strict training regimen, he didn't attend any normal courses at all.
Ordinarily, this would definitely cause problems. After all, Jie Long was still a school, and not attending regular classes could easily lead to expulsion. Fortunately, in Jie Long, Fan Xinglu was like a supreme authority. With just one word from her, all of Fang Li's academic issues were resolved.
However, even though his coursework was handled, it didn't change the fact that Fang Li had no activities outside of the Yellow Dragon Temple. As a result, it was only natural that he wasn't very familiar with Jie Long.
In the end, after touring the academy, not only did Sylvia get to know Jie Long much better, but Fang Li also gained a deeper understanding of the place, which led Sylvia to roll her eyes at him more than once.
In an effort to save face in front of his girlfriend, Fang Li made a special request to Fan Xinglu to let Sylvia explore the various rooms within the Yellow Dragon Temple, which were connected to different spaces. This impressed Sylvia so much that she couldn't stop praising it, finally sparing Fang Li from further teasing.
In the afternoon, as planned the previous night, Fang Li and Sylvia went together to tour Saint Galahadworth Academy.
Due to the school's culture, Saint Galahadworth maintained a strong emphasis on order and propriety, even during the School Festival. The festival itself was organized like a high-class Nordic ball, drawing in a captivated crowd.
Both Fang Li and Sylvia thoroughly enjoyed their time and explored the academy without attracting the same kind of attention they had the day before. Their trip ended smoothly without any issues.
"I thought we'd be recognized again, like yesterday, and end up attracting the student council president or someone," Fang Li commented.
In response, Sylvia said, "Saint Galahadworth is different from other academies. Even if they noticed our disguises, they wouldn't confront us directly. That would be too rude."
Since it would be considered impolite, they simply wouldn't do it. That's the ethos of Saint Galahadworth, a school rooted in sanctity and justice.
Thus, the second day of the School Festival concluded without a hitch.
That evening, as expected, Sylvia still didn't leave and returned to Jie Long with Fang Li, spending another night in the Stars Room.
On the third day, Fang Li and Sylvia spent the morning exploring Arlequint Institute. Unlike the other academies, Arlequint prioritized functionality in all its buildings, giving the campus an overall appearance resembling a research facility.
The events held there were mostly academic in nature, with research presentations being the main focus. The lively atmosphere typical of a School Festival was almost entirely absent.
Perhaps because of this, Arlequint saw fewer crowds compared to Seidoukan Academy and Saint Galahadworth Academy. It had a similar attendance to Rewolf Black Academy, but still fewer people than Jie Long Seventh Academy.
At first, both Fang Li and Sylvia found the academic research presentations refreshing and novel, but after seeing several of them, they started to grow bored. As a result, their morning activities ended a bit earlier.
And so…
"Queenvail Academy is the only place we haven't visited yet, right?" Fang Li remarked, prompting Sylvia to pause for a moment as if she were considering something. After a brief silence, she smiled and made a decision.
"Then I'll go and get ready. Be sure to come to Queenvail in the afternoon— I'll come out to meet you," She said, leaving Fang Li standing there, puzzled and unsure of what was going on.
"What is she up to?" Fang Li wondered, completely baffled and with no idea what Sylvia was planning.
Despite his confusion, Fang Li arrived at Queenvail Academy that afternoon. It was a completely different environment from what he had seen before.
Among the Six Great Academies, Queenvail Academy was the one most focused on natural scenery. The overall style of the academy was very much in harmony with nature, featuring courtyard-style plazas and charming cafés perfect for enjoying a pleasant afternoon tea.
Thus, there weren't many street vendors in Queenvail, but it still had the largest crowds among the Six Great Academies.
"After all, it's like a secret garden that everyone dreams of, filled with countless idols and celebrities. No matter who you are, you'd think of coming here first, right?" Sylvia had explained this to him before.
Now, Fang Li fully understood what she meant.
"It really is lively."
Standing at the gates of Queenvail Academy, Fang Li blended into the bustling crowd and walked into this "secret garden." Most of the events here were for entertainment. There were singing performances, dance shows, stage plays, and even variety shows.
Fang Li could see a large screen in the sky broadcasting a concert. It was a performance being held to promote the upcoming Gryphon Festa, just before the festival officially kicked off. Naturally, the star of the concert was Sylvia.
"————I'm_trying_to_break_the_barrier, The_boundary_crosses_the_boundary (We seek to shatter the wall, crossing the boundary beyond the barrier)————"
Her melodious singing echoed through the air, reverberating across Queenvail Academy, catching the attention of everyone in earshot. Anyone who entered Queenvail was immediately drawn to the music, looking up at the dazzling diva performing on stage, sparking discussions all around.
"Is that the song Sylvia sang at her last concert?"
"I wish I could hear it live."
"Too bad tickets were sold out."
"Yeah, that's right."
These kinds of conversations buzzed around Fang Li, reaching his ears and making him reflect.
"Come to think of it, it's been a while since I last heard Sylvia sing."
While lost in thought, Fang Li soon found himself at the center of a commotion.
