"Is that 'Sky Curtain Academy'... Could it be referring to the building on top of the mountain over there?"

Standing at the edge of the forest, we gazed at the distant city, as well as the building floating in mid-air in the middle of the city.

Of course, there was also the building on top of the mountain, defying the laws of physics.

As for why we were at the forest edge, it was because we were running too fast and ended up charging into the forest.

But with our agile dodging abilities, we decided to go straight through, following a rough direction until we burst out of the forest and finally stopped when we saw the target city.

"Well, it should be correct. The city is called 'City in the Sky'," said Ms. Mary, checking her notebook.

As a teacher, isn't it one of the few things you have to do to remember the names?

"'City in the Sky'? That's a simple and straightforward name... But something seems off about that mountain, right? What's the deal with that building floating in mid-air? And what about those stones near the mountain? Isn't this completely ignoring the laws of physics?"

"Fir, haven't you played any cultivation games? It's not uncommon for rocks on mountains to float in mid-air in those games, breaking all laws of science," replied Ms. Mary.

"Well... now that you mention it, that's true... I see... But it's just that they built the academy on a floating stone, which is just unscientific."

"... How long are you going to be fixated on science?"

"Despite being a scientist, you really don't care about science... well, it doesn't matter."

Taking another glance at the distant city, I continued to ask, "So what are we here for? Just for sightseeing?"

"In theory, yes. Sightseeing, sparring, and learning from each other," replied Ms. Mary.

"Hey hey, isn't sparring just fighting?"

"Yes."

"Well, that certainly sounds exciting!"

"You... But you should know that we were not expected to arrive here for another week, so..."

"So, no one is here to greet us?"

"That's more or less the feeling."

"My goodness... Well then, Bai Yueguang, Taishi Xi, and Hei Luoli, you guys should be familiar with the Eastern Continent, right? Do you know any places nearby that we can visit?"

"Never been here."

"Don't know."

"Visit?"

The answers from the three of them were quite different.

"Alright, anyway, it's not feasible for us to stay in this place. Let's hurry up and go into the city."

Seeing the situation, I could only say helplessly.

"Yes, and to save on travel expenses, I'll go straight to the academy to talk to their headmaster," said Ms. Mary.

"I didn't expect Ms. Mary to have such a teacherly demeanor at a time like this."

"Well, of course. The remaining travel expenses are part of my salary for this month."

"..."

Keep your gratitude to yourself.

Just kidding, I wouldn't be touched by this guy.

City in the Sky----------------------------------

Sure enough, as soon as we arrived near the city, we saw the familiar city walls.

Of course, the familiarity didn't come from seeing it here, but from encountering this kind of city walls with Eastern architectural features in countless games.

And in reality, I have also seen it, after all, I am Asian too. But because it seems like there are both Japanese and Chinese in my memory, I have no idea about the specifics.

But honestly, this ruined heavenly city also made it difficult for me to determine whether it belongs to the East or the Orient. Because there are both people selling sushi and merchants selling charms, candied haws, and other things in the city.

Well, it seems that the difference between the East and the Orient is not significant in the Eastern Continent, probably due to frequent trade.

After all, there are mountains and seas separating the Western and Eastern Continents, but it's not like the previous world where there is a sea between Japan and China.

"It is truly nostalgic."

Bai Yueguang looked around and said.

"It has been several months since I came back?"

"Bai just wants to eat sushi again, right?"

Hei Luoli said with a laugh.

"Tch, don't you want to eat it?"

"I only want to eat meatballs."

"In any case, it's all about eating!"

Well, you two can continue arguing about what to eat. I actually want to see if there are any new skill books nearby that I can buy. It wouldn't hurt to learn some Eastern skills.

But...

When I turned around, only Aliyah, Bai Yueguang, Hei Luoli, Oyado, and Loyce were left.

Where are the others?

Taishi Xi and Ms. Mary went to the academy, and who knows where Bai Yueguang and Hei Luoli went to show their affection. How annoying.

"In any case, I'll go check out some books, and you guys..."

"Huh? Are you trying to escape?"

Aliyah said with her hands on her hips.

"How can girls go shopping without boys to protect them? Don't even think about running away!"

"..."

It's not because of the sword in her hand that I'm following them!
