The morning sun pierced through the clouds and sprinkled onto the door of the Academy of Esoterics. Lin Mengmeng stood in front of this door, feeling both anticipation and nervousness. The architecture of this academy is modern and unique, and each building seems to tell the history and mystery of the school.
Carrying her luggage, Lin Mengmeng stepped into the campus. Her eyes wandered around, trying to capture every detail of this new environment. Everything on the campus was fresh and intriguing to her: neatly arranged trees, winding paths, and the students who were either walking or sitting. These students were all unique, some were reading attentively, while others were demonstrating their esoteric skills.
She was led to the freshman dormitory, a four-story building with a simple and elegant exterior. The rooms in the dormitory were clean, comfortable, and modernly decorated. Lin Mengmeng's room was on the second floor. She placed her luggage in a corner and sat lightly on the edge of the bed. Her roommate had not arrived yet, and the whole room was quiet, with only the gentle breeze outside moving the curtains.
Soon, her three roommates arrived one after another. The first was a warm and cheerful girl who introduced herself as Lin Ya. Her smile was bright, and her eyes were full of vitality. The second was a quiet girl named Zhou Hui. She moved delicately and always spoke with a hint of caution. The last roommate was a lively and lovely girl named Xiaomei, whose arrival immediately filled the room with laughter and joy.
Lin Mengmeng Although introverted, she made an effort to participate in their conversation. She found herself surprisingly getting along well with these girls, and couldn't help but feel relieved. They talked about their hometowns, hobbies, and their expectations for the new school year.
Lin Mengmeng sat nervously in the corner, hands tightly clenched, her gaze unconsciously wandering between the floor and her roommates. Lin Ya smiled and asked her, "Where are you from, Mengmeng?" Her voice was full of enthusiasm, but it made Lin Mengmeng feel a bit pressured.
"I, I come from a distant small town..." Lin Mengmeng's voice was almost a whisper, with a forced smile on her face, and her eyes quickly avoiding Lin Ya's gaze.
Lin Ya seemed to sense Lin Mengmeng's unease, her expression softened slightly, and her voice became gentler: "Wow, it must be very beautiful. We should go see it together in the future."
Zhou Hui smiled and joined the conversation: "Yes, I also really like natural scenery. We can plan a little trip."
Xiao Mei then excitedly jumped up: "I'll organize it! I used to do a lot of these activities in the student union before."
Lin Mengmeng felt a hint of warmth. She nodded, a genuine smile appearing on her lips, and her mood gradually relaxed a bit. She looked at the three distinctive girls and couldn't help but feel a hint of envy in her heart. She hoped that she could be as confident and energetic as they were.
Then, Lin Ya began to share her hometown stories, her words filled with love for her hometown and passion for life. Lin Mengmeng listened quietly, occasionally nodding, but her thoughts had already flown to her distant hometown, the place she had always wanted to escape from, yet missed immensely.
Zhou Hui spoke softly as she told her story, her voice gentle, as if every word had been carefully chosen. Lin Mengmeng found many similarities between herself and Zhou Hui, and she began to feel a slight resonance with this quiet girl.
When Xiaomei began to talk about her experiences, her voice was filled with passion and vitality. She spoke about the various activities she had participated in, her eyes shining with a radiance, as if in that moment, she was reliving those happy times.
Lin Mengmeng gradually found her place in their stories. She began to talk about her life in the small town. Although she didn't speak much, every word she said revealed a deep attachment to her hometown. She described the quietness of the town, the starry night sky, and the small lake she often visited.
As time passed, Lin Mengmeng and her roommates walked together to the main hall of the college to attend the opening ceremony. The hall was spacious and magnificent, with exquisite murals depicting heroes and miracles from ancient myths adorning its ceiling. Portraits of outstanding students from previous years hung on the walls, each face exuding confidence and a sense of achievement. The leaders and teachers on the stage warmly welcomed the new students, each teacher having their own esoteric knowledge, which served not only as a tool for their teaching but also as the subject of their research.
At the school opening ceremony, several senior students performed their Esoteric, leaving all the new students amazed. Some students demonstrated their ability to manipulate elements, making flames leap in their hands and water dance in the air. Another student showcased telepathy, closing her eyes and gently revealing a secret from the mind of an audience member. Each Esoteric display was met with astonishment and applause from the audience.
Lin Mengmeng watched all of this, feeling deeply moved. She experienced an unprecedented sense of caution and awe. Her eyes were fixed on the stage, but her thoughts were scattered. Unconsciously, she fidgeted with the edge of her seat, her expression alternating between surprise and deep contemplation.
Lin Ya noticed Lin Mengmeng's nervousness and gently touched her shoulder, smiling as she said, "Mengmeng, these will all become a part of our daily lives, and you will get used to it."
Lin Mengmeng nodded slightly, but her heart was filled with mixed emotions. Deep inside, she was curious about this unknown world, but at the same time, she felt deeply insecure and inferior. Her own Esoteric was still very weak, and she couldn't help but worry if she could establish herself in a place filled with geniuses and miracles like this.
Lin Mengmeng's gaze inadvertently fell on a teacher on the stage, who was explaining the philosophy and spirit behind Esoteric. His voice was calm and powerful, and every word was filled with wisdom and profound meaning. Lin Mengmeng was drawn in by his words, and she began to listen attentively, trying to find her own direction within them.
She began to realize that this world, full of miracles and mysteries, is not just about its glamorous side; it is also filled with challenges and hardships. Each person's Esoteric has its unique aspects, just like each person's life journey, filled with different difficulties and opportunities.
After the ceremony, she and her roommates visited various corners of the college together. They passed by the library, laboratories, and the student activity center. In each place, students were busy engaging in various activities, their faces filled with enthusiasm for knowledge and exploration.
In the evening, Lin Mengmeng and her roommates returned to the dormitory. The atmosphere in the dormitory became warmer at night. They sat on their beds, sharing their feelings about the opening ceremony and their hopes for the future.
Lin Mengmeng's inner self gradually relaxed, and she began to tell her story: how she accidentally discovered her healing ability, and how she accepted this special ability amidst hesitation and fear. Her voice was calm and somewhat shy, but her eyes revealed a kind of determination.
The roommates listened intently, showing a strong interest in Lin Mengmeng's Esoteric ability. Lin Ya exclaimed excitedly, "Mengmeng, your ability is really special! Here, you will definitely be able to better grasp and develop it."
Lin Mengmeng smiled slightly, but there was an indescribable pressure in her heart. She knew that having such a rare Esoteric meant greater responsibility and challenges. Her mood became somewhat heavy, but she tried hard not to let her roommates notice.
That night, as her roommates entered dreamland one by one, Lin Mengmeng lay on her bed, gazing at the ceiling lost in thought. Her thoughts drifted to her family, their expectations of her, the uncertainty of the future, and her role in this brand new world. Her heart was filled with contradictions: she both longed to prove herself and feared the unknown challenges.
The next day, Lin Mengmeng and her roommates attended their first class. It was a basic course on the control and application of Esoteric, taught by a middle-aged man named Professor Huang. Professor Huang explained the subject clearly and thoroughly, not only discussing the types and characteristics of Esoteric, but also demonstrating some basic control techniques.
During the class, Lin Mengmeng found herself deeply interested in learning about Esoteric. She listened attentively, occasionally jotting down some key points. However, when Professor Huang mentioned "healing ability", all eyes in the class turned to her. Her cheeks grew slightly warm, and she couldn't help but feel a bit of pressure.
After school, some classmates gathered around Lin Mengmeng, curious about her esoteric abilities. Lin Mengmeng felt a bit awkward, but she tried to remain polite and answered their questions. She found herself becoming the center of attention in this group, which was a challenge for her.
A week passed by in the midst of busyness. Lin Mengmeng gradually adapted to the rhythm of college life and began to interact with more classmates. Her healing ability attracted some attention at the college, not only from her peers but also from some teachers.
In a laboratory class, Lin Mengmeng demonstrated her esoteric abilities in public for the first time. She lightly touched the injured classmate's arm, focused, and miraculously healed the person's wound. The surrounding classmates exclaimed in amazement, and a faint tension appeared on Lin Mengmeng's face. She began to realize that her esoteric abilities were not only a responsibility but also a burdensome form of attention.
