C1 The Beginning of the First Chapter of the Monogatari

Otis School... It was an urban school that had been built for less than a few years and had become the world's number one academy in the current era.

The school had the most complete knowledge literature in the world, but the campus that looked like it was from the Middle Ages gave people a huge difference compared to the high-tech generations. Thus, the school was covered with a mysterious veil.

However, since the school was founded, there had been a rumor among the students that no one had ever confirmed. However, no one dared to say that it was a false legend, and that was... in this mysterious city school. There was a passageway that led to another unknown world, but it was also because no one could really describe the situation of the other world. Thus, the students still thought that legends were just legends, and they didn't really care about it...

In the season of cherry blossoms fluttering in the wind, today was the beginning of the new semester of "Otis Academy." It was also the sixth batch of new students' enrollment ceremony. Now, the girl who entered the school first with her scientific examination results also came to report in front of the school gate.

This girl who was around eighteen years old, her single name "Lin," had been an orphan since she was young. However, she had never submitted to the harsh living environment since she was young. As a top student, she had never been arrogant and complacent before.

As she looked at the school gate in front of her, Leng Lin was filled with joy and anticipation. Her long hair was as white as snow, and her beautiful ruby-like eyes shone with radiance. It was as if it represented her confidence in moving forward bravely.

Her personality was like a combination of two characteristics. When she was quiet, her actions were as gentle as snow, but when she talked, she gave people an unexpected sense of happiness and vitality. And now, she was going to study in the world's number one academy, "Otis Academy.

"From today onwards, I must work harder to study, work harder! GO - - Hm? "

She revealed a cheerful smile and cheered herself on. Her heart was also filled with fighting spirit, but there was suddenly an uncoordinated feeling in the school that she cared about. Looking at the school and thinking about this strange feeling, it was difficult to describe it with words.

Dang, dang!

"Ah! Oh no!"

Under the urging of the bell, seeing that the new students had already walked into the school gate, she no longer hesitated to walk towards the huge auditorium where the new students' enrollment ceremony was held.

From the school gate all the way to the red carpet laid in the auditorium, not only was it to guide the new students, it was also to let people feel the importance the school attached to the new students.

The moment one stepped into the hall, regardless of whether it was the exterior or the internal structure, it was filled with European architectural designs like the school. The majesty inside was no less than that of the European King's Hall in the past.

Leng Lin looked at her surroundings in shock. The expression on her face made it clear that this was the first time she had seen such a grand auditorium.

"Wow... What a huge auditorium. That's awesome, huh... My seat is - Ah! I have, I have."

After slightly sticking his head out to find his seat, Lin hurriedly sat down as well.

Under the slightly noisy conversation, all the new students slowly took their seats one after another. From the conversations of these new students, it seemed that they were looking forward to the school life in the future.

With the passing of time, the entrance ceremony finally officially began.

In front of the students' seats was a tall and eye-catching platform. When the time for the ceremony came, everyone also quieted down.

At this time, a white-haired old man with a very solemn appearance slowly walked onto the platform. He revealed a kind smile and also began to give a speech.

"Welcome all freshmen to this Otis Academy. I am lyceum Head" Baroque Otis "of this academy, although this academy is considered to be..."

Along with lyceum Head Baloken's speech, to Leng... Every word was like a lamp lighting up her future and guiding her.

Although her seat was a little far from the high platform, she could not see lyceum Head's appearance very carefully. But towards this lyceum Head, her heart was also filled with respect and worship.

After the ceremony ended, it was a legal holiday in the afternoon so that the new students could sort out their mood for learning in the future. Hence, the new students also began to leave the auditorium and return to their own residence.

For the students of Otis Academy who were filled with curiosity, since they were staying in the dormitory, they decided to spend some time on this vacation to properly visit the environment of the First Academy.

After inquiring along the way, she arrived at the academy's proudest and most knowledgeable academy, the "Hades Academy." It was like a castle. Because it was a holiday period after the ceremony, there was almost no one in the academy besides the administrator and Leng.

After greeting the administrator and reporting his identity, Lin Han walked into the academy.

The atmosphere in the academy was empty, and there was a vast sense of view. When she looked up... every huge library seemed to contain countless books and documents.

When she saw this scene, it was inevitable for her to be shocked...

"What a huge academy, it feels like all the books in the world are here. Just how did you collect these books?"

Just as she was shocked, a wave of familiar and slow footsteps entered her ears.

"Haha, this is of course the result of a long period of record and collection."

This sudden response made Leng Lin look behind in shock.

... "Yi?"

She turned her head and saw a kind old man. Of course, this old man had already walked in front of her.

When he saw this old man, he didn't know how to address him because he was a new student...

"Uh, old sir, may I ask who you are...?"

The old man revealed a kind smile when he heard Lin Zhen's nervous question.

"Haha, it's really rare for a new student to come to the Hidden Academy at such a time. As expected of the genius girl who took the first place in the imperial exam, Leng."

After hearing these words, Leng finally realized that the old man in front of her was lyceum Head, "Baroque Otis," who was at the ceremony just now. She nervously and flusteredly greeted lyceum Head.

"Ah, hello, lyceum Head!"

"Haha, aren't we going to take a vacation and go home after the ceremony?"

Baroken smiled lightly, as if he did not care about her rudeness. Of course, Leng also quickly answered his question.

"That, that... Because I'm living alone, I'm not in a hurry to return to the dormitory. I'm also very curious about the school, so I wanted to take a look around."

Seeing that Lin wanted to understand the school so much, Baroken also revealed a smile of affirmation and satisfaction.

"Un, then how do you feel about this Hidden Academy?"

After taking slow steps forward, Baloken also asked about his thoughts towards the academy. Of course, Lin Han also hurriedly followed behind him and continued to tour the academy.

"This academy really surprises me. The entire place looks like it has an endless amount of books that I will never be able to finish reading. It really makes me feel that Otis' reputation as the number one academy really lives up to its reputation. I really feel honored to be able to study in this academy."

As she looked at the surrounding books, Leng Lin also spoke out her inner feelings without hiding anything. It was also a kind of expectant and happy answer, but at this time, there was a helpless smile on her face.

"After all, besides reading, I don't seem to have anything good to do. So if I have the chance to finish reading the books here, I will definitely have a sense of accomplishment."

"Haha, this Hidden Academy really surprises you like this? People definitely have their own missions and things they can do. Just do your best to accomplish it! "

Mm, I'll do my best! "

After encouraging her, Barok stopped in his tracks and looked at her.

"Lin, remember... you came here to study alone, right?"

Lin Lin first smiled bitterly at Baroken's question, but he quickly regained his former cheerful mood.

"Heh, it shouldn't be... Because I was an orphan since I was young, this place is my home to me who studied in Otis!"

Hearing this reply that was sent from his heart, Baroken nodded his head in affirmation without a trace of sincerity or hypocrisy.

After walking for a while, Baroken stopped again. In front of him was a huge door, and this door seemed to be the largest in the entire academy.

"Hmm... Student Lin, did you hear about the" legend "of Academy City before entering the academy?"

When the "legend" was mentioned, there was no one who didn't know about it. Lin nodded in return to Baroken.

"Mmm, mm! I have heard a little about it. May I ask... that should really be a legend?"

"Hehe, then we'll have to see if there really is someone who has experienced it before."

Hearing Baroken's words, she felt very strange. Even someone like lyceum Head, who knew about the school, could not determine whether it was true or not. The doubt that she revealed after thinking about it was also expressed on her face. At this time, Baroken did not mention the "legend" and pointed to the door in front of him...

"Student Lin, can you come in here and take out a book?"

"Oh! Okay!"

Under lyceum Head's instructions, Lin did not hesitate to agree. At this time, Baroken also slowly pushed open the heavy door.

After opening a small gap that allowed people to pass through, Lin Lin nodded at Baroken and also walked in.

"Eh..."

Leng Lin, who walked into the room, was slightly surprised when she saw the scene inside the room.

Because in the room with four walls, there was only a square bookshelf in front of the wall and it was deeply embedded in the wall. There was only a thick book placed on top of the bookshelf. Upon closer inspection, the bookshelf was even locked by a thick transparent glass window.

"lyceum Head, may I ask what should we do with the glass window?"

Leng Lin turned around and asked. Baloken had already taken out a key and handed it to her.

"Take this key and open the lock. Pick up the book."

After taking the key from Loken with doubt, the shape of the key also attracted Lin Lin's attention.

It was a golden key shaped like a treasured sword with a silver glow on the edge of the blade. There were also eight precious jade embedded on the handle, causing the entire key to emit a faint rainbow light. Holding such a precious key made Leng Leng feel a little uneasy.

"lyceum Head, this key..."

"This key is called 'The Key Of Otis'. You have to hold it firmly. Don't get rid of it. It is a very precious' key '."

"Mm, no problem!"

After hearing lyceum Head's reminder, Leng Leng carefully took the key and walked to the locked bookshelf.

Upon closer inspection, even through the glass window, he could still clearly see the name of the book...

"Illusions... fabricated?"

As the name of the book was blurted out, the The Key Of Otis was also inserted into the keyhole on the glass window.

The moment the key turned and the glass window opened - - the moment his hand touched the book, many scenes flashed through his mind in an instant, and he was unable to remember them.

Filled with doubt, she picked up the thick and heavy "Illusory Creation," but she felt that her feet had lost the sense of standing on the ground...

"Eh... Hmm? Wow!"

When Lin Leng looked down, the room that was originally surrounded by four walls suddenly became high up in the sky. Because it lost its standing point, its body began to fall along with the screams.

"Why did this happen - -!!"

The unbelievable situation caused Leng Lin to be at a loss as to what to do.

At this time, she hurriedly looked up at the side of the door, only to find that the heavy door actually began to close automatically and slowly fade away. The "The Key Of Otis" that had originally let go due to falling also seemed to have deliberately flown in front of her eyes.

"Key, key!? Right, right! I have to quickly put it away! "Oh, this, this is..."

As he held the key tightly, he passed through the clouds and finally saw the scene below.

It was a continent that she had never seen or read in her mind. However, even when she saw the continent, Leng Lin understood that her crisis had not been resolved. As a result, she began to panic and lost her cool.

"Aiya! What should I do... what should I do!? "Oh no, oh no!"

Hehe, it's here? The last person..."

"Eh?"

At the same time, the flying figure in front of her also attracted her attention. When the person who spoke stopped in front of her, she was very surprised by this person's appearance.

"You, you are...?"
