My Days at a Magic Academy in Another World

[Next up: Fufeng Order!]

You Weiyu had barely held his graduation certificate for three minutes before he inexplicably transmigrated to another world and became a student at a magic academy.

You Weiyu had just escaped university, only to land in a magic academy. His body was still here, but his soul had died.

The original owner was a loner who had offended plenty of people. To turn his reputation around, You Weiyu made sure to smile at everyone around the academy every day.

Faced with the sarcastic jibes of his sharp-tongued friends, You Weiyu clapped enthusiastically. "Exactly right! Fair and reasonable, and straight to the point!"

Faced with his hot-tempered roommate's cutting remarks, You Weiyu gave him a thumbs-up. "A single conversation with you is worth ten years of study!"

At first, he thought that a world with arcane arts and magic was already strange enough.

Who could have guessed...

By a small bridge and flowing stream, the buildings had an antique charm. He looked up at the blue sky and saw flocks of birds soaring high above.

Wait, those things with wings flying all over the sky... were they actually people?!

You Weiyu: Worldview loading. Loading failed. Recommend rebuilding.

Something strange had happened at Jiezi Academy recently. The gloomy oddball from Red Bamboo Waterside Pavilion was no longer gloomy. He'd become a goofy idiot who smiled at everyone he met.

Everyone watched him smile his way into the top three of the academy's first Magic Innovation Contest; smile his way into creating a flying ark; smile his way into subduing the leader of the blood clan.

Everyone: ...Stop smiling! Our knees are going weak, and we're all collapsing to the ground!

The bloodthirsty vampire restrained his desire, willingly becoming a follower of a clear, pure stream of scarlet water.

Only when his memories had fully awakened did You Weiyu attain true unity of body and soul.

The mission of a drop of water was perhaps to flow from ancient times into the present, winding through mountains and rivers and across plains, before returning to the time and place that truly belonged to him.

★ Mutual pampering, 1v1, HE (Most important!)

Bottom's POV:

Xie Yiling opened his eyes and miraculously came back to life.

To his dismay, he was no longer a cultivator from Nanguixian Pavilion who could fly and fight. Now he was a... good-for-nothing, with no spiritual power and no martial arts skills.

Being useless was bad enough, but while he was scrambling around on the ground, chased by a corpse demon and completely devoid of dignity, his former lover dropped from the sky and "rescued the damsel in distress."

Their moment of trepidation at seeing someone from their past led them both to mistakenly believe the other had lost their memories.

Looking at his former lover, whose memories had been erased by the Heavenly Dao, Xie Yiling's desire to win him back began to stir. "If I pursue Nangong Ci and he agrees, does that mean I'm cheating on myself?"

Nangong Ci, who had kept his memories while defying the Heavenly Dao: "If he pursues me, does that mean he loves me, or that he's fallen for someone else instead?"

Xie Yiling had once thought that he could save the whole world by himself. But after learning that his sacrifice in his previous life had only delayed the calamity by a year, he finally understood that all he'd gained by sacrificing himself was a false peace.

His futile attempt to defy the heavens, wagering his insignificant life against fate, had ultimately become a sharp, cold sword that pierced Nangong Ci's heart.

The secrets of heaven are hard to fathom, and destiny is hard to determine. After twists and turns and the endless cycle of cause and effect,

he finally came to his senses.

"The Great Way gives birth to fifty, the Dao of Heaven derives forty-nine, and man escapes with one."

It turned out that fate was in my hands.

When he was young, his stubbornness had left Nangong Ci alone in the mortal world for ten years.

Heaven had given Xie Yiling another chance, and he wanted to use this life to make amends.

Top's POV:

Nangong Ci realized he would forget Xie Yiling a year after the latter died.

People throughout the sect gradually stopped mentioning Xie Yiling's name or talking about his deeds.

Unable to control his own forgetting, Nangong Ci, a Daoist priest of the immortal sect, opened the forbidden book. At the cost of half his life, he renewed the pact he and Xie Yiling had made.

Together in life and death, never to part.

From that day on, he was the only person in the world who remembered Xie Yiling.

Ten years of ascetic wandering took him across mountains and rivers. At long last, his dream came true, and he reunited with his old love on a wilderness ridge.

Nangong Ci's heart finally settled: When I meet you, even autumn becomes spring.

In this vast mortal world, I will wait for you alone.

★ "The Great Way gives birth to fifty, the Dao of Heaven derives forty-nine, and man escapes with one." - Book of Changes

★ 1v1, HE, each is the other's one and only

★ The POV is unclear, probably more from the bottom's perspective in the early chapters and the top's in the later ones.

★ Amateur writing II fictional setting || lots of author-created settings II don't overanalyze it

★ Not very logical; essentially, it's a romance

Theme: The smallest things can contain whole worlds; a drop of water can become an ocean
