Chapter 11: The First Gathering of the Minority Alliance
Jacques stared at the timetable at a loss, Fabian appeared behind him, craned his neck to look at the filled timetable, "Jacques, you are amazing, how did you meet Tutor Lily? My brother said that Tutor Lily is the most beautiful tutor in the whole house! You can sit in the same steam car with her, you envy the senior students to death, can you introduce me to Tutor Lily?"
"Of course, I'm her apprentice now. Jacques put away the class schedule and dragged Fabian, who was stunned by the news, to the cafeteria to find Emma, describing what Fabian had seen and heard as he went.
The Coalition of Minorities came together for the first time during lunchtime.
Emma sat at the dining table, her hands pressed under her legs to support her leaning forward body, her boots couldn't step on the ground, swinging regularly, she felt very satisfied after eating a bowl of mousse fish soup, and listened absentmindedly to Jacques and Fabian's business plan. The academy is so good, so much good food, and it's all free!
Jacques put a piece of beef stew in his mouth with a fork and muttered as he chewed: "You can't send letters with pigeons, they are so weak that not only the birds of prey can kill them, but even the fat cat can pounce on the pigeons." ”
Fabian spooned the last peas at the bottom of the bowl and replied, "Why don't you try an owl?" I remember a storybook in which the protagonist used an owl to send letters. ”
Jacques rejected the new suggestion: "The owls are too lazy, they just want to crouch in the trees in peace, and it is better that no one disturbs their sleep, how can they work so hard for us." ”
"Eagle?"
"It's too hard to control. ”
"Mouse?"
"Will steal the letter!"
"Snakes?"
"It's scary!"
"Crows?"
"Uh...... The crow is nice, diligent, and smart!"
"Brother Jacques, is the crow too bad?"
"Just let them stop chatting with customers. ”
"Why don't you try parrots, they can talk!"
"Parrots are good, they want to be big, they are not afraid of birds of prey. ”
The two found the perfect employee, waited for Fabian to learn animal affinity, tamed a few parrots, and began their entrepreneurial journey. Jacques and Emma were in charge of advertising and soliciting customers, Fabian was in charge of arranging work for the animals, and everything was so good that it would have been nice if there weren't these unscrupulous guys around them.
A group of teenagers came straight to the table occupied by the Minority Alliance, and the short teenager led by him kept the pot lid and said in a sharp voice: "The boy from the Bernand family, on the first day of school, he accepted two small followers, isn't it amazing, yo...... Still a pretty little girl. The pot lid said as he approached Emma, ready to sit down next to her.
Fabian slapped the spoon heavily on the table, brushed it and stood up, stopped in front of Emma, and said sharply to the lid of the pot, "Lucien Ginoa! they are my friends, please respect them." ”
"Friend, haha, yes, the children of the savages of the New World are very compatible with the untouchables. Lucien scoffed.
"How dare you insult my mother!" Fabian trembled with anger and raised his fist to hit Lucien, but Jacques, who had been prepared, reached over Emma and stopped Fabian.
"Don't be impulsive, he's deliberately provoking you. Jacques whispered to Fabian.
"I said, Fabian, you're not going to cry again, are you? I heard that you have awakened the natural attributes of savages, and you are indeed a species of savages, has your savage mother taught you the source energy technique? Is it a bird or a dog? Hahaha!" Lucien laughed, deliberately raising his thin voice so loudly that the entire cafeteria focused their eyes on the few people in the conflict.
Fabian couldn't take it anymore and struggled in Jacques's arms to rush up and fight Lucien. Seeing this, two tall teenagers in Lucien's henchmen stopped in front of Lucien.
Jacques stopped Fabian and said to Lucien with the lid on the pot, "Shut your mouth and get your men out of here!"
Lucien said with contempt on his face, "Koyatl? haha, you ask Fabian where his brother Koyatl is lately. Even if he comes back, do you dare to touch me? I am the eldest son of the Ginoa family, can you two second sons inherit the title? I don't even have the right to talk to me on an equal footing. And Dean Hardy, can you still find Dean Hardy? laugh at me!"
Emma timidly poked her head out from behind Jacques and whispered, "I'm Dean Hardy's apprentice, I'll tell my master, you said we're savages!"
Emma's clear voice fell, and the noisy buzzing around her came to an abrupt end, and Lucien also put away her smile and asked solemnly, "Little girl, say that you are Dean Hardy's apprentice?
"Darkness!" replied Emma.
"No wonder. Lucien thought for a moment and evacuated decisively, "Fabian, protected by a woman, hahaha, I haven't seen you for a year, be careful in the future, we will always have a chance to catch up." Lucien beckoned his men to evacuate the restaurant.
After Lucien left, Jacques left the restaurant with Fabian and Emma as well. As the three of them walked down the road to the dormitory, Fabian calmed down and said to them, "I know he deliberately provoked me, but ...... But I couldn't help it. Thank you Emma!"
Emma smiled sweetly, "That person is very annoying, looking at me with strange eyes." When I see my master, I will definitely tell her that this Lucien said that we are savages. Emma raised her little fist and shook it.
Fabian shook his head, "Dean Hardy will not punish him, he is the eldest son of Viscount Ginoa, and if he says some discriminatory words, the Dean can't do anything to him." ”
Jacques analyzed: "Today's performance is to provoke you, wait for you to make a move, and then fight back and hurt you." We're all freshmen, so it doesn't hurt to do it even if we do it first, they're all second-graders, right? This Lucien is very cunning, why isn't your brother in the academy?"
Fabian sighed and said, "This year is the biennial Misty Forest Challenge, and students over the age of 16 can participate in groups. My second brother's team has qualified for one of our academy's competitions this year, and now he should be on his way to the imperial capital. ”
"Where is the Misty Forest?" asked Emma, curious.
Fabian explains:
"The Misty Forest is the hunting ground of the royal family, and in the north of the imperial capital, the so-called challenge is to let the elite students of the academy across the country help the royal family clean up the new exotic beasts that have appeared in the forest in the past two years and collect spirit plants. Each team of 6 people enters the forest for four months, and the team that gathers the most spirit plants and exotic beast materials will be rewarded by the royal family.
Although these beasts are not strong and can give students experience, they will die every year, which is actually a dangerous competition. My brother's is a natural awakening like me, and in the forest we are more powerful than the awakened of other attributes, and all three teams in the academy wanted to invite him to join this year, even though he was only in the fifth grade. ”
"You know? In the last competition, Mentor Lily led the team to win the second place in the country! She competed as an Awakened One, and when she walked out of the Misty Forest, she had become a Sculptor and graduated early when she returned to the academy and was hired as a mentor. Fabian said excitedly that his previous unhappiness had been thrown out of the clouds.
Jacques remembered the brain collapse that Lily had given him, and the smug expression he had on when he heard that he had become his master in the dean's office, and felt that the beaten forehead hurt again, and reached out to rub it.
"Then when your second brother comes back, won't it be even more powerful, can you clean up that nasty Lucien?" Emma continued to bite the lid of the pot.
Fabian shook his head and said helplessly: "The grievances between my family and the Ginoa family began in my father's generation, and originally the fiefdoms of our two families were in Kalange, and there were some in-laws in the early years. My father also had a good relationship with several of his peers in the Genoa family, and when he was younger, he went on adventures in the New World together.
However, his father and Viscount Ginoa, who later inherited the title respectively, did not know why they were on the same page, and they often quarreled over the land on the border, the business they operated, and the management of the town of Carragher. The two of our mansions in Port Mousse were so close that Lucien couldn't fight my two brothers, so he often looked for opportunities to bully me. ”
While talking, the three of them had already walked to the dormitory area, made an appointment to meet again after class in the afternoon, and each took the key card they received to find their dormitory.
