Grove after World War I.

Zhou Ming's hat of "soft rice man" can be said to have been completely taken off.

He no longer needs to be Lilith's "follower" to avoid all kinds of school bullying.

From this day on, he can hold his head high and be a man.

And by his side, there is a group of 30 "good brothers".

With these good brothers here, he is full of confidence...... It seems that I have found the feeling of once dominating Phantom Luan Middle School.

However, he still didn't dare to be too high-profile.

The first is the lack of strength, junior magicians, there are more than 30 in the school, and there are only 8 on his side, accounting for a minority.

Intermediate magicians, there are 5 in the whole school, and there is no one on Zhou Ming's side...... He doesn't have high-profile strength.

Secondly, his identity is still a commoner, nothing in the eyes of the nobles, and if a nobleman insists on killing him, no one will give him a head.

What's more, his career is getting off the ground and his wealth is increasing.

The magic cake shop brings him an income of 50,000 gold coins per month.

Menglan clothing store, which has been renovated and will be able to open next month, is expected to bring a wave of fashion trends with several new clothing items that are about to be released.

There are also Lina and Henry, who are increasingly close to him, and Zhou Ming also needs to be protected.

If you insist on being so high-profile under the premise of insufficient strength, I am afraid that you will pay a high price.

He'll still have to be careful for a while.

However, the Battle of the Grove, due to the large number of participants and the large number of students who were seriously injured, still caused a sensation in the whole school.

After all, close to 1/3 of the students in the school participated in a large-scale magic brawl, a large area of trees in the grove was destroyed, and more than 10 people were seriously injured, and it was impossible for teachers and students to think about it.

As a result, the school leaders attached great importance to it, and many people were questioned and investigated.

The details of the whole matter were quickly investigated.

The top management of the school held a discussion meeting to discuss how to deal with it.

Inside the office.

Principal Roberts, Dean of Academic Affairs Clown, Class 2 teacher Olos, and other class teachers are sitting at a mahogany round table in a meeting.

"Expulsion, must be expelled! These black sheep must not stay in our school!"

Dean of Academic Affairs, Crawn, a middle-aged fat man with a fierce face, knocked on the table and said, As for the person he wants to expel from, it is naturally our protagonist - Zhou Ming.

Why did Clouen advocate the expulsion of Zhou Ming?

Chivalry.

This is too inconsistent with the spirit of chivalry, this kid actually used conspiracy to seriously injure several outstanding students and win a shameful victory, he really can't stand it!

"I also think that we should be expelled, because if such a student stays in school, I am afraid it will bring bad to our school spirit. ”

One teacher chimed in.

"Olos, Martin and Leylin, they are all students in your Class 2, what do you think about this?"

Roberts, the principal who sat at the top, said that he was in his early sixties, with gray hair and kind eyes, and he looked at Olos, the teacher in Class 2, and asked for his opinion.

Olos thought for a moment and said, "Leylin has indeed gone too far, and I also think that he should be expelled. ”

As the head teacher of Class 2, Martin usually looks at his performance, but Martin is a nobleman, and his father is General Hill, who controls 100,000 Kingdom Knights in the kingdom, and is in a high position.

What about Leylin?

Born into a guilty family that was exiled, plus the status of a servant son with no status.

Even if the Leilin family stepped on shit and turned over that day, then Leilin's identity was still a civilian, and it was still not as good as Martin's family.

Of course, Olos knew what to choose.

However, as soon as Olos's words fell, a crisp voice came from his ears: "I don't agree with the expulsion of Lei Lin. ”

Olos was taken aback, and turned his head to see that it was Catherine, the teacher of Class 3.

She was speaking for Reelin.

Catherine is 28 years old this year, is a famous beauty teacher in the Brno School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she is intellectually dignified, noble temperament, wearing a purple magic robe, it is difficult to hide her perfect figure, especially the proud murder weapon, is the most popular topic of discussion among young people with strong blood.

What's more, she is still unmarried.

So not only the single male teachers at school, but even some older students have launched a pursuit of her.

is so infatuated that there are not a few people who don't marry her.

But she is still single, and she has no love history, and no one dares to harass her...... She is the youngest senior magician among the school's teachers, and has touched the threshold of the great magician.

With such a strong strength, no one dares to stalk her, and at the top of the school, her status is quite high.

"This brawl has been investigated very clearly, the fault is not Leylin, it is Martin who insists on bullying him, and Leylin has to find a way to defend himself. ”

"Isn't it Leylin's fault that he didn't resist and let Martin beat them up?"

"Gentlemen, we are not talking about chivalry, but about right and wrong! It seems to me that such a thing would not have happened if Martin had not troubled Leylin again and again. ”

"Leylin and Martin, I have taught them for a year, and I know very well what their personalities are, and I hope that the gentlemen will look at this matter with an impartial eye, and not just care about some details. ”

After Catherine finished speaking, she said to the headmaster, "Mr. Headmaster, I am against the expulsion of Lei Lin. ”

The teachers looked at Catherine and looked at each other.

Olos's mouth opened, but after thinking about it, he swallowed it back and closed his mouth - he didn't want to make a bad impression on Catherine.

The other teachers reacted similarly to Olos, and even one young teacher said, "I think what Katherine said makes sense. ”

Olos glared at him fiercely: Bastard, you dare to brush Catherine's favorability points in front of me?

"Ahem!"

So he coughed and changed his words: "Teacher Catherine is right, Martin is also wrong." ”

"Hmph! Even if Martin is wrong, Raelin must be expelled! Brno School of Witchcraft and Wizardry cannot tolerate such a bold student!"

The Dean of Academic Affairs, Clown, still had an angry face and insisted on expelling the unruly students!

"Leylin just wants to defend himself!

Catherine stood up and confronted him.

"I am the Dean of Academic Affairs, and I have the power to punish students who make mistakes!"

"If you insist on doing this, then I choose to resign!"

The two quarreled violently.

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder in the office was getting heavier and stronger, Principal Roberts had to dissuade them from letting them get rid of their anger.

As for this large-scale student brawl incident, the specific handling of the two parties was finally reached after intense discussions in several consecutive meetings.

A penalty decision was made.

There are three things about Zhou Ming:

1. Stay on probation for one year, and if there is any bad behavior during the period, you will be expelled immediately!

2. Apologize for medical expenses totaling 20,000 gold coins.

3. Apologize and apologize to Martin in person and admit his mistakes.

There's only one thing about Martin:

In the future, you must not harass or bully Lei Lin's classmates.

After these punishment decisions came out, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the school was favoring Martin.

But Zhou Ming accepted, bowed to Martin in the principal's office, and said earnestly: "Martin, I'm very sorry, I beg your forgiveness." ”

"I don't want your apology!"

"A month later, we're going to have a fight in the ring!"

"Immediate life and death!"

Martin gritted his teeth, his eyes full of bloodthirsty red light.

This......

Zhou Ming asked Principal Roberts what he should do.

"As long as it's a fair duel, both sides nod, and on behalf of the school, approve the duel. Principal Roberts said.

"Okay, I promise this duel!"

Zhou Ming nodded, Martin's strength was a little stronger than him, but a month later...... Who's afraid of whom?

"Boy, I'm going to blow you to powder!"

Martin let out a harsh word and left the principal's office.

Zhou Ming was stopped by the principal, saying that he still had some things to explain to him.

"Mr. Headmaster, what else do you need to explain?"

Looking at the kind-looking principal in front of him, Zhou Ming suddenly realized that he was smiling a bit like an old fox.

Roberts looked at him for a long time with a smile before he spoke: "Sixteen-year-old intermediate pharmacist, since the establishment of the Brno School of Magic and Wizardry, there has never been such a talented student in the field of potions, that old guy from Hall told me that as long as you continue to develop in the field of potions, you have a good chance of becoming a grandmaster-level pharmacist." ”

He took a deep breath: "Grandmaster-level apothecary, this kind of value is even higher than a kingdom. ”

Zhou Ming felt a sigh in his heart.

Who leaked it?

He has already asked the fat man Baum to do a good job of secrecy, and whoever leaks it will cancel the right to buy his [tranquilizer], and whoever leaks betrays him?

However, listening to the principal call Store Manager Hall an "old guy", it means that they are friends, and it is not necessary that Store Manager Hall disclosed his identity in front of the principal.

Seeing Roberts staring at him with the eyes of a lover, Zhou Ming shuddered, the chrysanthemum tightened, but he just smiled and said, "Principal, I just happen to be able to prepare [Tranquilizing Elixir], and the badge was also obtained by mistake." ”

The old fox ignored him, and said to himself as usual: "The top ten magic schools in the mainland are all after making breakthroughs in the field of pharmacy, and their influence will expand rapidly, and the number of talents attracted will increase, and there will be more and more great magicians and legendary mages. ”

"As the saying goes, for a magic school to take off, it must have a good number of pharmacists, and for a country to take off, it must have a group of good pharmacists. ”

"If there is a grandmaster apothecary at the Brno School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, then ......"

The old fox's eyes suddenly released a brilliant light.

"Headmaster, the ...... There's something else, I'll go back first. Zhou Ming turned around and wanted to leave.

A voice came from behind him:

"Stay at the school, and I can ask the king to pardon your family, return the titles and fiefs of the Leylin family, reuse your father, and grant you nobility. ”

"In the future, you will be second only to me in the Brno School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and when I die, you will be the headmaster of this school. ”

"Leylin, you're a smart kid, think about it!"

The words just fell.

Zhou Ming has left the principal's office.
