Chapter 8
A Chance Encounter Outside KOMA Academy

Xia Yan acted quickly. Knowing he had been transported to the world of Devil High, he booked a flight the same day after his butler investigated all the relevant information about Kuoh Town and Kuoh Academy.

After dealing with some life matters for a day, Xia Yan boarded the plane to Kuoh Town, Japan, the next day.

“There’s still a lot to do.”

After getting off the plane, Xia Yan left the airport, found the hotel he had booked online earlier, put his luggage away, and lay down on the bed in the room, looking exhausted.

Although he had plenty of money, being in a different country meant some things would be less efficient than back home.

It was summer vacation, so the enrollment procedures at Kuoh Academy were relatively slow, and he had to wait for a while.

Moreover, since he had decided to stay here, he would definitely need to buy a house and complete all the necessary paperwork.

These miscellaneous tasks added up, making things quite a headache.

“Forget it, I’ll just have someone else take care of it.”

Now that he had arrived in Kuoh Town, Xia Yan didn’t want to waste too much time on these trivial matters.

Most importantly, his pockets were full of money.

He also had his cheat codes.

He wasn’t worried at all.

On his first day in Kuoh Town, Xia Yan didn’t wander around. After dinner at the hotel and a shower, he went straight to sleep.

The next day, he found an agency specializing in personal errands, told them his needs, paid a deposit, and then prepared to scout out the place.

In the early stages of the plot, aside from the protagonists' school, Kuoh Academy, the abandoned church outside the city was also important to pay attention to.

Xia Yan's primary target was naturally Kuoh Academy.

Most importantly, he wanted to try his luck and see if he could encounter one or two of the protagonists, absorbing some Dimensional Points from them.

He hailed a taxi and headed for Kuoh Academy.

During summer vacation, there weren't many people at Kuoh Academy. Only occasionally could he see a few students passing through the iron bars on the side of the wall.

Xia Yan wanted to go inside and take a look, but he was stopped by the school guard at the gate.

Without a Kuoh Academy student ID, he couldn't enter the school.

Xia Yan was a little disappointed. With his current strength, going to the church would still be a bit risky.

After all, in the plot, the abandoned church was the lair of the fallen angels.

Not only was there a crazy priest, but there were also several fallen angels.

If he charged in recklessly, he didn’t know if it would be dangerous.

“Hello, do you need any help? You seem a little troubled.”

At this moment, a blond boy approached, looking puzzled.

His appearance was exceptional. He stood out in a crowd, and could definitely be considered handsome.

He was about the same age as Xia Yan. In terms of looks, he was leagues ahead of those so-called male stars on TV.

He was carrying a rectangular cloth bag on his back, probably a sword bag, making the boy look like a sporty, sunny guy.

Kendo and other sports were popular in Japan, especially among students.

“Hello, you must be a student here, right?”

Xia Yan was slightly taken aback, then politely replied.

“Yes, I am.”

The blond boy nodded.

“My name is Xia Yan. I’m a transfer student and should be attending Kuoh Academy next semester.”

Xia Yan smiled, extended his right hand, and introduced himself, preparing for a handshake.

“Transfer student?”

The blond boy was also polite. Seeing Xia Yan extend his hand, he raised his hand and shook it.

“Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have gained 51230 Dimensional Points.”

Hearing the system prompt, Xia Yan couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy. It seemed like the blond boy in front of him should be Issei Hyoudou.

After all, transitioning from a flat 2D character to a 3D entity.

Upon their first meeting, Xia Yan only felt familiar, not entirely sure.

Only after the system prompt could he be certain that the person in front of him was Issei Hyoudou.

But indeed, he was a member of the protagonist group.

The amount of Dimensional Points he absorbed was equal to the combined amount of the Fire Chicken siblings.

“The documents have been transferred to the school, but the enrollment procedures are still being processed and should take some time to be completed.”

Xia Yan released his hand and smiled, explaining, “I’m not officially a student of Kuoh Academy yet.”

“My name is Issei Hyoudou, and I’ll be a second-year student at Kuoh Academy after the start of the semester.”

After hearing Xia Yan’s explanation, Issei Hyoudou also introduced himself, “Judging by your name, you’re not Japanese, right? Are you from China?”

“Yeah.”

Xia Yan nodded.

“Your Japanese is excellent. I can’t tell that you’re not Japanese.”

Issei Hyoudou exclaimed.

Most people who learn foreign languages speak with an accent.

Natives can tell immediately.

However, if it weren’t for Xia Yan’s name being different from Japanese names, Issei Hyoudou would have struggled to differentiate.

“Since I’m coming here to study, I naturally have to put in some effort to learn the language.”

Xia Yan said humbly.

His language skills weren’t his original ability, of course. He had copied them from someone else after getting off the plane, costing him 1000 Dimensional Points.

Although it was expensive, it was also practical.

He was going to be in Japan for a long time, so his Japanese skills couldn’t be neglected.

As for Xia Yan’s own Japanese skills, he could only understand it, not speak it.

After all, he used to watch Japanese adult films, some of which didn’t have subtitles, so he needed to rely on his own Japanese listening skills.

Over time, he developed a strong level of Japanese listening comprehension.

“That’s impressive.”

Issei Hyoudou couldn’t help but praise Xia Yan’s words.

“It’s nothing really, just what I should be doing.”

Xia Yan felt a little embarrassed by Issei Hyoudou’s sincere attitude.

“To work hard for a goal and achieve it, that’s something many people can’t do. It’s really admirable.”

Issei Hyoudou said earnestly, smiling.

No wonder he was the most popular school boy at Kuoh Academy. Even his words sounded nice.

If Issei Hyoudou had a system, he would definitely see the “Goodwill +10” appearing next to Xia Yan.
