The next morning, all of us gathered in Ms. Mary's office.
There were two reasons for this: first, Bai Yueguang's office had not been assigned yet, and second, it was not convenient to discuss these matters elsewhere.
"So...," Ms. Mary looked at me and then at the others next to her. "Fir was attacked and his soul was possessed by a female body. His original body has gone missing. Now Fir wants to enroll in school to disguise his identity?"
"That's a rough summary," I nodded in agreement.
There weren't many people in the room, just me, Oyado, Aliyah, Bai Yueguang, Hei Luoli, Dale, Taishi Xi, and Pure White. Although I heard that Yabber had come last night, and Fran was nearby, I didn't want too many people to know about my transformation into a female.
It's embarrassing, so let's keep it low-key.
"I don't know where the Snake Eye gang is, and they haven't made any progress in finding my body. So maybe it's better for us to stay here for a while, complete some missions, and see if the other side makes any moves."
"Yes, that's a good idea. And based on your tone just now, I can confirm that you are Fir. It's amazing how you've transformed into a mature beauty like me, except for your height," Ms. Mary said astonishingly.
"Hey, I feel like you're focused on strange things," I looked at her with a bitter smile and continued to ask, "So, what are the requirements for me to enroll in school now?"
"The method of entering the Imperial Academy has already been clearly written. Either you need a recommendation from the nobles or you have to take the entrance examination. As long as you meet the requirements, you can enroll," she explained.
"I see..."
"Although that's what it says, but I think... this body is not suitable to be a mage, right? Your physical abilities seem good, but it seems like you don't have any systematic combat skills, and I don't think you're good at close combat either," Ms. Mary stated.
"Yeah, in general, I rely on one move to decide the outcome in close combat. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't get close without observing the opponent from a distance," I replied.
"It's very fitting for your personality," Ms. Mary shook her head. "Do you want to try practicing dual swords like me? It's very powerful!"
Aliyah next to her suggested, "If you want to learn, why not learn how to be an assassin with me?"
"What's so good about being an assassin? Just knowing how to be sneaky," Dale retorted.
"What do you know?! My brother just likes to stab people in the back!" Hei Luoli exclaimed.
Hey, hey, my lovely little sister, what are you talking about? How could your brother be such a shameless person? Although I do like to attack from behind, I don't have a habit of stabbing people with knives. I always do it grandly... by killing them from behind!
"Cough, cough, Oyado, I've never killed anyone from behind, right?"
"Huh? Doesn't brother like to freeze people and then beat them up?"
"Well, I do often freeze people, but completely beating someone up is not something I do. I don't have that kind of sadomasochistic preference, and I usually just run away after freezing them."
"Alright, enough arguing," Bai Yueguang said seriously.
"Anyway, you've already learned some sword skills from me, so just use them directly."
"It's none of your business!"
Aliyah and Oyado both shouted, causing Bai Yueguang to startle and silently retreat to lean against the nearby wall.
...
Are you so timid?
Helplessly, I looked towards Ms. Mary.
"Well..."
Ms. Mary shook her head.
"By the way, you should also change your magic habits. Stop using ice spells that do little damage all the time. Freezing others is useless. Use some other elements."
"Well, that's not a problem, the problem is that my body seems to have very little mana."
"So use a magic grimoire. After all, being an arcanic swordsman is recognized in this academy. What was her name again?"
"Melordo?"
"Yes, that's right, Melordo. She was one of the earliest arcanic swordsman students."
"That's good then. So, how do I enroll? Do I have to fight others?"
"Yes, you have options. One option is to take a written test and score above 80% to enroll. Or you can choose to defeat the teacher in charge of the test."
"I see, then how do I sign up?"
"Well...perfect timing."
Ms. Mary stood up from her chair.
"Thanks to you, the school's class schedule has changed from morning to afternoon. The practical combat class in the afternoon has been cancelled, thanks to you."
"It's my fault?"
"So now let me take you to meet the headmaster."
Ms. Mary walked towards the door as she spoke.
"By the way, Bai Yueguang should come too. The headmaster has been saying he can't find you."
"It's because the door numbers in your office are not in order. You can't find anything, can you?"
Bai Yueguang laughed wryly.
My goodness, does Bai Yueguang not have an office because...
"Alright, you and Fir come with me. As for the others, go do whatever you need to do. Don't all follow along."
Even if you say that, some people will still follow along, right?
I sighed in my heart and followed Ms. Mary's footsteps.

Imperial Academy, Maran Commercial District
At the same time, Fran, who had nothing to do, was walking towards the dormitory carrying a bag full of magical materials along the commercial street.
Due to the invasion incident, the school conducts routine inspections during the day. Although it's announced publicly, nobody knows what they actually do, so Fran, who had nothing to do, went back to her old business.
Since she couldn't study necromancy magic, especially when there were eleven saints in the academy, she started researching how to improve her surface magic and fire magic.
After all, the Witt Imperial Empire is water-based, and although magic elements are not simply water extinguishing fire, there is still some restraint. So Fran's research direction now is how to prevent interference from water-based magic.
As she walked, suddenly, she was drawn to a store next to her.
"This store..."
From the outside, it looked like a magic props store, with even a humanoid handing out flyers at the entrance. But what caught Fran's eye was the moon symbol in the bottom right corner, crossed with a magic wand. "Could it be..." After a moment of thought, Fran walked over and pushed open the door of the store.
"Hey, welcome... Oh, Fran, long time no see," a voice came from behind the counter in the store, and another familiar face stood in front of the counter, waving casually to her. "I knew it... Lanya, Yabber, when did you guys get here?"
That's right, the one running the store was none other than Lanya, and the person in front of the counter was Yabber, who arrived last night. "Last night, but Lanya came two days ago, we just finished decorating the store yesterday."
"Really, you didn't even say hi when you arrived." Fran said while putting her bag to the side.
"Yeah, it's been a while since the school was destroyed, and this is the first time we've gathered again," said Lanya.
"Yeah. By the way, why didn't you come to my store to buy things? I could have given you a discount," Lanya asked.
"The discount you give is probably not much different from the original price. But that can only mean your advertising isn't good enough, right? Otherwise, I should have known about your store," Fran replied.
"Well, I only decided to open this store two days ago." Fran stopped for a moment. "Because of Fir, right? By the way, Yabber, you came because of him too, right?"
"Yes, the Pope is very concerned about the incident this time. After all, there were undead traces at the scene, and it was of the summoner type. If the other party has the ability to summon demons, we can't just sit idly by. But I came for personal reasons," Yabber explained.
"Going to convince Fir to join the church again?" Fran asked.
"Naturally!"
Watching Yabber's serious expression, Fran nearly burst out laughing in her heart. Hahaha, you didn't expect that Fir is actually a necromancer, hahaha.
"And what about you, Lanya?"
"I came because of her detector." Lanya took out something that looked like a phone.
"Before, I gave Fir some props, and I secretly put a tracker in one of them. And the tracker shows... Fir is inside the school and is still moving."
"What..." Fran and Yabber both looked at Lanya in surprise. After a moment of hesitation, Fran grabbed her and started to leave.
"What are you waiting for! Let's go catch him!"
