It was only at this moment that Huo Lieyun, Jin Zhengming, Shi Bo, and Shui Moning realized how completely they had been abandoned by the Five Elements Academy. Unlike Xue Fanxin, not only did their hearts feel cold, they were more resentful. Their hatred and anger for the Five Elements Academy had unconsciously risen to a certain level.
No matter their talent, strength, or personality, they were all fresh lives. Furthermore, there were only five of them. If the Five Elements Academy wanted to transfer them, they only needed to send a few slightly stronger senior brothers and sisters to escort them.
However, the academy did not do anything. The new students from the Special, Heaven, Earth, and Mystic Classes had already moved to a safe place yesterday, and their Yellow Class was still trapped in the storm and could be drowned at any moment.
Didn’t the so-called elders and teachers of the Five Elements Academy think that this was too much and too cruel?
At this moment, no one spoke. Everyone was filled with anger and hatred. Their hands were clenched into fists, and their eyes were filled with unwillingness.
Xue Fanxin was someone who had seen many storms. She had a deep understanding of human nature and human hearts. Seeing that her companions were filled with hatred, she enlightened them a little to prevent them from going astray.
“Why are you so angry? To us, anyone from the Five Elements Academy is unrelated, and to the Five Elements Academy, we are also unrelated. Therefore, no matter what the Five Elements Academy does, we have no right to hate or resent, because unrelated people have no right and obligation to care about our lives.
“You have to remember that no matter when or what happens, don’t have any hope and expectations for people you don’t trust and are unreliable. We have to learn to rely on ourselves for everything. Only by relying on ourselves can we walk a true path that belongs to the strong.”
Hearing Xue Fanxin’s words, the anger and hatred in Huo Lieyun, Jin Zhengming, Shi Bo, and Shui Moning’s hearts slowly subsided, and their mental states vaguely changed.
They were only new students from the Five Elements Academy who had just been admitted, and they were not even considered disciples of the Five Elements Academy, so they should not have any hope or expectations for the Five Elements Academy.
They had to rely on themselves for everything and not always rely on others.
When Tang Man and the old drunkard heard Xue Fanxin’s words, they also sighed. However, now was not the time to sigh.
“Alright, everyone, don’t think about those things first. Quickly get ready. We’ll escort you to the Five Elements Hall. The water outside is getting stronger and stronger. You have to leave immediately. If we go any later, it’ll be difficult to leave.”
Under the lead and escort of Tang Man and the old drunkard, the five new students of the Yellow Class left the small wooden house. They moved forward with difficulty in the wind and rain and headed for the Five Elements Hall in the inner courtyard of the Five Elements Academy.
The Five Elements Academy was divided into the inner and outer courtyards.
The outer courtyard was often empty. Only when there was a recruitment every five years would there be a little popularity, and the real Five Elements Academy was actually in the inner courtyard.
Any construction formation and defense in the inner courtyard were hundreds of times better than those in the outer courtyard. The buildings in the outer courtyard were only made of simple stone and wood, so they could not resist such a natural disaster at all.
However, the inner courtyard was different. No matter how heavy the wind and rain outside were, the houses and buildings would not collapse.
The Five Elements Hall was the place where the disciples of the various academies accepted missions and exchanged for the Five-Element Pearls. There were a total of three floors, and each floor could accommodate more than a thousand people. It was completely enough for all the new students to enter.
At this moment, on the third floor of the Five Elements Hall, in an elegant room, a man playing with bamboo leaves in his hand was looking at everything in the Five Elements Hall through the window. The anger and dissatisfaction revealed in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
After a while, a middle-aged man in a gray robe walked over and stood behind the man playing with the bamboo leaf. He cupped his fists respectfully and bowed. “Greetings, dean.”
