"If Seidoukan Academy is like a park, then Rewolf Black Academy is a fortress. The architecture here is a stark contrast to the ancient style of Jie Long Seventh Institute and even further removed from the nature-friendly atmosphere of Queenvail. It feels incredibly mundane, almost like a gangster's lair, and is quite chaotic.
This chaos persists even during the School Festival. At least, that's how it appears to Fang Li.
There are vendors here, but the prices are exorbitant. The staff members look rather intimidating. The decorations consist mostly of gaudy patterns and vulgar graffiti. The activities are violent enough to be considered distasteful. Combined with the building's style, it's easy to imagine the type of students this academy attracts.
As a result, this place is favored by unsavory characters while typical visitors would steer clear of here. Compared to the bustling Seidoukan Academy, the crowds here are noticeably thinner.
However, there's one thing that draws a certain crowd here: the casino.
Every type of gambling is available here: slot machines, roulette, baccarat, blackjack. These activities are prevalent throughout Rewolf Black Academy. And it's all real gambling.
In this environment, the shouts of gamblers echo everywhere, amidst piles of cigarettes and beer cans. Although there are male waiters in black suits and female students dressed as bunny girls serving customers, it's clear this isn't something students should be doing.
"I can't believe a school would allow such activities," Fang Li said, incredulous as he walked along the campus road of Rewolf Black Academy. "Could it be that the security team in Asterisk City doesn't control this?"
Hearing this, Sylvia, who was holding Fang Li's arm, chuckled dismissively.
"After all, this place gathers Genestellars from around the world, and gambling isn't illegal in some places. The legality of gambling here has always been a topic of discussion," Sylvia explained. "Establishing a casino on the main street would definitely be problematic, but in some remote areas, the people from the Integrated Enterprise Foundation would likely turn a blind eye.
After all, gambling can stimulate the economy, even if it's not morally acceptable.
"So, there are areas similar to an Entertainment District in this city, and Rewolf Black Academy has always had deep ties with the underworld there. This time, the activities were basically handed over to them, which is why it turned out this way," Sylvia continued, casting a glance at Fang Li with a teasing smile. "Now, my dear Fang-san, excuse me, what are you doing here?"
Sylvia's teasing tone made Fang Li chuckle.
"What's wrong?" Fang Li asked. "Don't you like it here?"
"Not that I dislike it, but my original plan was to visit all six academies in these three days. If I hated this place, I wouldn't have planned to come here," Sylvia said with a sigh. "However, I can't say I like it here either. If I came here alone, I would absolutely be approached by strange people, right?"
In fact, it wasn't just the possibility of coming here alone that mattered; even with Fang Li by her side, Sylvia had already been approached.
As if they were blind, or perhaps simply disregarding Fang Li, a group of delinquent-looking guys had been coming over to hit on Sylvia, making her extremely annoyed.
As a result, Fang Li dealt with all of them, breaking their hands and legs, and one by one, he tossed them into a dark alley where no one would find them, leaving them to fend for themselves.
"Even when I've disguised myself to look so ordinary, it's surprising that people still approach me," Sylvia said with a hint of dissatisfaction. "Could it be that my disguise is too poor?"
Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with the disguise.
No matter how plainly a beautiful person dresses, they are destined to shine.
Sylvia is the kind of person who is born to shine, a star who absolutely belongs on stage, under the spotlight.
Therefore, even the first time Fang Li met her, he found her to be an incredible girl, not to mention others.
It can only be said that being the world's top idol is not just a title without merit.
Of course, Sylvia was already quite low-key, but the people in this academy simply did not care about that. When they see a woman, they instinctively want to hit on her, and naturally, she gets bothered.
"Yet, in a school like this, someone like 'Ereshkigal' appears," Sylvia said softly. "Perhaps her ability is indeed vicious. Outside of this place, she'd probably be shunned by the other academies."
"Is that so?" Fang Li replied, unable to deny it. "In other words, she's also trapped in her situation?"
"I don't know," Sylvia answered straightforwardly. "All I know is that that Ereshkigal never interacts with anyone, only listens to 'The Tyrant.'"
The name that came out of Sylvia's mouth made Fang Li pause for a moment.
Whether she sensed Fang Li's reaction or not, Sylvia looked at him.
"Dirk Eberwein, the Student Council President of Rewolf Black Academy, is the first person in history to serve as the Student Council President without being a Genestellar. Naturally, since he's not a Genestellar, he possesses no combat ability. In this Asterisk City, he should belong to the lowest tier of students, let alone in a violent place like Rewolf Black Academy, where he would certainly be bullied and oppressed."
Sylvia introduced him to Fang Li.
"However, this person, despite lacking any power, has been manipulating people's dark sides with exceptional courage and ruthless strategies. Like a spider weaving a web, he extracts benefits from the things he ensnares. He is a notorious villain and has become the first non-Genestellar to rise to the top and become the Student Council President, earning him the nickname 'Tyrant.'"
Clearly not a Genestellar, yet he earned a title that only those ranked highly among the various academies could gain.
This shows just how capable Dirk is in terms of strategy.
However, when talking about this person, a rare look of annoyance appeared on Sylvia's face.
"What's wrong?" Fang Li asked curiously. "Do you hate him?"
Without any hesitation, Sylvia answered the question.
"Yeah."
Sylvia said, "I really hate him; it could be said that we're like water and fire."
