"Didn't expect this to be here too."
"It seems this truly is another world."
"This is wonderful."
"I haven't eaten food like this in so long."
"I want steamed buns!"
"I want noodles!"
The displayed food options showed various kinds of noodles, which surprised them.
On Blue Star, the homeland of Dragon Country, they had been without staple foods for far too long.
They presented their meal tickets to the canteen auntie.
"I want the ramen."
"I want the steamed buns."
After receiving the tickets, the canteen auntie looked at them and then served the requested buns and ramen onto their plates.
Once their food was served, the auntie asked, "Anything else?"
"Anything else?" one of them asked, confused.
"Other dishes. Your meal allowance includes two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and one staple."
The canteen auntie's words astonished them. How long had it been since they had heard such a thing? Not only were they without staple grains, but they also hadn't had meat dishes.
With excitement, these university students selected the dishes they wanted, or those whose names sounded appealing.
After getting their food, the students found seats at the long tables and began to eat.
Among Song Yuting, Gao Yushan, and Huang Jingzhe, Song Yuting and Gao Yushan were from the south, so they opted for noodles instead of steamed buns. Huang Jingzhe, being from northern Dragon Country, chose steamed buns.
Huang Jingzhe broke a steamed bun, filled it with some dishes, and ate it.
"You're all eating noodles. Why not the steamed buns? Eating these buns with dishes is the best way."
Song Yuting replied, "I'm still not used to steamed buns. If there were no noodles, I would choose steamed buns. But for now, I'll eat these noodles. Of course, it would be best if there were rice. By the way, Huang Jingzhe, what is that dark dish you have?"
Huang Jingzhe said, "This dark dish is called Elven Dark Wheat Vegetable. It tastes rather peculiar. I've never eaten this kind of vegetable before. And the taste of the meat is also very strange. This meat is called Grade One Beast Beef, but it's different from any beef I've eaten before."
Song Yuting commented, "The Grade One Beast Mutton I have also tastes very different. It seems this world truly is a world of beasts. Why are these dishes called Beast Mutton and Beast Beef?"
Gao Yushan mused, "Perhaps the cows and sheep raised in this world are as massive as beasts?"
These university students were very satisfied with their dinner, having not had staple foods and meat for a long time.
After dinner, as they were about to explore the surroundings, at 7 PM, their satellite phones received a message instructing them to attend a study abroad briefing in the hotel's 9th-floor conference room at 8 PM.
Song Yuting, Gao Yushan, and Huang Jingzhe arrived at the conference room at 7:45 PM. The room was quite large, capable of accommodating 789 students.
Upon arrival, everyone found a seat and began chatting.
At 8 PM precisely, a person entered through a side door and walked onto the stage.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I will now conduct the study abroad briefing."
All the students present fell silent.
"Hello everyone, I am Yi Qingfei. For the next year, I will be your study abroad liaison. Now, I will brief you on this study abroad program."
Yi Qingfei continued, "You must all be wondering what kind of world this is. I will now tell you. This world is a magic world. The world you have arrived in through the portal from the Dinosaur World is here. That's right, this magic world is, as its name suggests, a world where magic exists. Some of you students ate beast meat in the canteen tonight. That was indeed genuine beast meat."
At this point, Song Yuting, hearing this from below, remarked, "So it really was from beasts. I never imagined there was such a magic world."
Huang Jingzhe said, "We could come to this other world through a portal, so magic wouldn't be surprising."
Yi Qingfei continued, "In this magic world, there are two intelligent races: the Elves and the Orcs. Our Dragon Country has already established a good relationship with the Elves. Within the Elven society, there are three magic universities. Many Elves study magic in these universities. After our Dragon Country provided a large amount of resources, we finally reached an agreement with the Elves for a study abroad program. That's right, you will be assigned to these three magic universities for your studies."
Upon hearing the explanation, the students in the room erupted in an uproar.
"What? Study abroad at a magic university?"
"So that's where we're going."
"Am I dreaming? Or have I transmigrated?"
"You are not dreaming, but you have indeed transmigrated. You've even passed through two portals."
"..."
After the students' initial astonishment subsided, Yi Qingfei continued, "Another point is that you don't need to worry about language barriers. There is a magic called the Wisdom Language Dialogue Spell. This spell allows you to communicate with the Elves. The Archmages at the magic universities will cast this spell on you regularly. However, I hope you will learn this Wisdom Language Dialogue Spell yourselves. If you cannot learn it, then find a way to learn the Elven language. After all, for each casting by an Archmage, our Dragon Country has to pay approximately ten thousand Dragon Country currency worth of resources. Of course, one Archmage can simultaneously cast this spell on twenty people."
"Next, I will introduce the three magic universities of the Elves. First is the First Magic University in the Elven Imperial City. This is also the best magic university among the Elves. If possible, Dragon Country would like you all to enter the First Magic University. However, due to the large number of students, the Elves will have you distributed to other magic universities."
"Another magic university is the Second Magic University. This university is located in the Elven commercial hub, Jiahai City. Jiahai City is a coastal city, so the ace department of the Second Magic University is Water Magic."
"The last magic university is the Third Magic University. The Third Magic University is in Jiaxue City. This city has the most book publications among the Elves, so the Third Magic University has a high level of academic magic. However, high academic magic does not necessarily mean high-level mage strength. Therefore, while the Third Magic University has many magic scholars, it has significantly fewer high-level mages compared to the First and Second Magic Universities..."
