"It is rumored that Hoden Herlow is handsome and dashing, and his eyes are like torches, and a single look can ambush a criminal. ”

"Wait, how is the version I heard different, but it says that Hoden is an elegant scholar, and he can use his profound knowledge to make everyone stunned when he talks and laughs, and his weak figure is not good at fighting, so His Royal Highness the Third Prince always takes care of him and protects this best friend. ”

"Friends, are they really just friends?"

"Heck, knowing that not breaking it is our last bottom line as friends. Now, Robben, what's the version you're hearing?"

"Holden Herlow is a complete bastard, arrogant, narcissistic, and angry, with skills that have reached the level of a level 10 psionic. ”

The three friends sang and complained together, and their eyes kept drifting towards Horden, but they found that the protagonist did not look angry at all, but listened attentively with relish.

Thunder Peters was the first to hold back, "Aren't you going to say something?"

"It's all the right rumors, and I think the summary is pretty good. Holden commented objectively with a calm and calm attitude, as if the object of discussion was not him at all.

Brutus chuckled and bumped Thunderpeters and Robben with his shoulder, "We still don't have enough segments." Then he simply sat down opposite Holden, "You're not going to continue like this, are you?" Your popularity is now comparable to that of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and wherever you go in the future, it is estimated that someone will catch up, are you sure you don't need to change your way of dealing with it?"

You can't keep pretending "I'm not a party", can you?

Just look at His Royal Highness the Third Prince, there are not only fan sisters, but also fan brothers, super popular and directly ignore gender, youth and class, judging from the current trend, Holden is very hopeful to catch up with His Royal Highness the Third Prince.

Holden shrugged his shoulders lightly nonchalantly, "Popularity is just a bubble, and after the heat passes, a light breeze will cease to exist." ”

The simple words revealed great wisdom, and Brutus's eyes showed surprise and appreciation, and he turned to look at Peters and Robben, "But we have been compared." ”

Hoden's narrowed eyes didn't seem to wake up, and he slowly said to his friends, "Why don't you get ready? The three knights around Hoden? Maybe someone will start tracking your movements tomorrow and even follow you to the classroom." ”

A joke but also a complaint.

Brutus' eyes widened, "Someone is already following you into class? Wait, how do they know about your schedule?"

Hodden pursed his lips, noncommittal.

Thunder Peters didn't look gloating, and said worriedly, "Wouldn't we?

Robben turned his head to look at him with curiosity on his face, "I thought you liked that." ”

Thunder Peters was immediately choked.

Brutus had a smile in his eyes and was complaining about Thunder Peters with his expression, but he didn't spend any more time on the topic, "What were you reading just now?"

Hodden followed Brutus' gaze and looked down at the yellowed booklet with no title on his chest, "Oh, do you remember Mattigan Stinson?"

In the previous Potions class, Professor Seneca lent the author of the book to Hoden, an unknown Potions genius, and they had both heard of the name because of Hoden's connections.

"This is a biography of the life of Mathigan-Stinson - or rather, romance is more appropriate, because none of these contents are supported by definite evidence, but the author speculates and writes on his own based on clues of those historical events, which somewhat deifies Mathigan-Stinson. ”

This was one of many takeaways from Hoden's time in Professor Desimas's office.

As expected, Professor De Simas' private library is home to a myriad of strange books, and it's easy to lose yourself in it, especially for those who are new to it and don't have a clear purpose, because Professor De Yamas is not as neatly organized as the Iwabuchi Library or the College Library.

With a little help from Professor Dethiamas, Hoden was able to find a few rare books, and Hoden paid for a freshly made charcoal-grilled arrow feather sandwich.

Despite the value of the charcoal-grilled arrow feather sandwich, after flipping through the books, Hodden was convinced that it was "worth the money".

The book that Holden is reading now was recommended by Professor Desimas after Holden took the initiative to mention it.

"Did you know that Mattigan-Stinson had studied the elixir of immortality, which is believed to be one of the main reasons why he disappeared from the public eye, and he was also an excellent psionic circle master with many talents in semiotics. This is truly a genius who has the courage to break with tradition. ”

In particular, Hodden had already read Mattigan Stinson's Potions notes, not only about the recipes, but also about his understanding and opinions about potions, and you could feel the boldness and madness of this "genius" between the lines, always challenging conventional notions without taboo.

Combined with the current book, you can open up the world of Mattigan Stinson from the side.

However, in the text, you can feel the author's admiration and even admiration for Mattigan Stinson, and the attitude is inevitably biased, and the praise should also be exaggerated, the existence of the idol halo makes the content obviously distorted, Horden just took the book as a view, and did not take it seriously, as a small adjustment between reading and reading to relax the mind, it is indeed an interesting read.

In this regard, Brutus also has his own thoughts, "There are countless intelligent geniuses, and there is no shortage of geniuses in every era, but not every genius can use their talents to create something truly valuable." From genius to greatness, there is still a long way to go. ”

Hodden pursed the corners of his lips, noncommittal.

Ray Peters' gaze was drawn to the other books on the table—

It's not so much a book as a note, and to be more precise, it's all meeting minutes.

"What is this?" Ray Peters finally found the gap and asked his doubts.

Hodden glanced at it, "Oh, these are the records of the debates at St. Cray's College, and the references that Professor Desimas recommended for me to read. ”

"Professor Desimas and I discussed the problem of deconstructing the magic circle, and the professor believes that instead of learning those theories from textbooks, it is better to refer to and read the ideas of other students, because even if the same theory is the same, different students' understanding and interpretation are different, and when these different ideas collide together, they can often find the light of wisdom. ”

So, he recommended the minutes of these debates to me, hoping to help. Recommended reading: "Reading Files 2013"
