Instructor William's dagger slashed down diagonally, and after Edward parried with his dagger, he adjusted his breathing, took a step back, made room, and counterattacked and stabbed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Don't look down, don't look at my belly!" Instructor William put his left hand behind his back and swung his short sword with just his right hand, and with a forceful flick, Edward's attack was easily neutralized. A hole appeared in Edward's chest, and the instructor stepped forward, resting his sword on Edward's throat.

Edward swallowed, a drop of sweat running down his cheek and onto his shoulder. He pursed his lips and sighed, "Lost again." Instructor, you're amazing. ”

", I just used one hand. You're not fast enough, and your eyes betray the intent to attack. Instructor William lightly touched Edward's waist with his short sword, "The waist is too hard, softer, and the pace is lighter, so that your dodge will be more flexible." ”

"Ahh

Zhuo Ya put her hands on her waist and snorted: "Left, oops, stupid, hit the abdomen, oops, the sword has been pulled away again." ”

Edward, who heard the girls yelling, became more and more messy in his footwork. As soon as his hand loosened, the dagger was flung into the sky. He sat on the ground, and when the sword fell to the ground, the tip of the sword plunged into the ground 5 centimeters from his crotch.

"Wow-" Edward exclaimed, "Instructor, you're too ruthless. ”

The instructor pulled Edward up and said, "You're too distracted. ”

Edward puffed out his cheeks, got up from the ground, and walked quickly to the girls.

"He's coming!oh my God!" Messiah took Avril's hand, "Hey, Avril, he's coming." ”

Avril's face was as red as an apple, and she subconsciously rubbed her hands.

"It's all you yelling and screaming, and I'm going to lose!" Edward yelled, "I'm so angry, go away!"

Zoya pressed his fingers against Edward's chest: "You can't summon the elements, and the elements are difficult to serve." Talent, you don't have a talent for swordsmanship. ”

Edward patted Zoya's head, "What do you know, little ghost? I'm Edward, the Iron Mage." ”

"What are you angry about?" Zoya snapped her fingers, flames dancing on her fingertips, "Can you summon the fire elemental?"

"Can you make the iron rod soft?" Edward retorted.

"Yes, melt it at high temperatures. Zoya clasped his hands on his chest and asked Arthur on the side, "Yes, Theory King, enough high temperature can melt iron." ”

Arthur glanced at Edward, snorted, and left.

Messiah stood on tiptoe, looked at Arthur, who was leaving silently, and asked, "What's wrong with you? ”

Edward snorted, "He's nervous." Suddenly he ignored me, and I didn't offend him. ”

Astrand, who was standing on the sidelines, patted his head and sighed.

"You have a headache?" Edward asked with concern, "I didn't wear any clothes when I went to the kitchen to steal food last night, and I had a cold and fever?"

"Brother!" Astran blushed, "I didn't steal at all." No, I don't have a headache. ”

"That means stealing?" Edward smacked his lips, "Hey, how could I have such a gluttonous brother." ”

"Oops, you're getting in. Astran changed the subject, "I said, everyone help Arthur." He had worked hard to learn the theory of magic, but he had scored zero in his magic practice class, and he was going crazy. ”

"Oh, I see, he's jealous of me!" Edward clapped his hands, and suddenly realized, "I should have told him earlier, I would have persuaded him." ”

"Do you really understand?" Astran looked at Avril and asked Edward.

"Understood, I persuaded him to think about it, I am a genius, an iron magician, a man who conquers the earth element. Edward nodded seriously, "Mortals can't compare with geniuses, what kind of anger does he have with himself." ”

Astran gave Edward a blank look, his eyes utterly desperate. He turned his head and asked Zoya, "Zoya, you can help Arthur." ”

Zhuo Ya tilted her head, put her index finger to her lips, and muttered: "The Theory King is familiar with the theory of magic, "Elements in My Hand", "Arcane Crystal Structure Analysis", he can memorize it backwards. It's not like someone who relies purely on luck. ”

Edward was drinking the water handed by Avril when he heard this, and squirted: "Bastard, who do you say relies on luck?!"

"That's you!" Zoya stuck out her tongue at Edward.

"You're a jealous genius! You should learn from Avril Lavigne......" Edward turned his head and looked at Avril. "Lady...... OMG!"

Avril Lavigne's face and chest were wet, and she pursed her lips and ran away as tears were about to well.

The little Zoya jumped up and hit Edward in the head with her hand: "You idiot!"

Watching the three girls leave, Edward sighed: "It's not my fault again!"

"Brother!" Astraan blurted out, "I ask you, are you playing stupid or being an idiot?"

Edward looked at Astraan's appearance, he felt that his brother and a few girls were a little strange today, and he wondered, "What the hell is wrong?"

The sky was blue, and Edward held out his hand, imagining himself grasping a cloud.

Astran told him everything, about love letters, and about Avril's crush on herself.

He sighed and said to his brother lying on the lawn, "I didn't think it was that complicated. It's all a misunderstanding, I'll go and explain it to Arthur. ”

"What do you say? Don't worry, Arthur, you didn't like Avril. And Avril cried?" Astran turned his head and asked, "You can't bear to make Avril sad?"

Edward shook his head vigorously: "I won't fall in love until I find out the truth about my father's killing of my uncle." I don't want my loved one to be sad, maybe something happens to me when I find out the truth?"

Astran thumped Edward's chest hard, causing him to feel tight and short of breath.

"Bastard brother!" said Astraan, "can you please stop talking about discouragement!"

Edward coughed a few times, took a deep breath, and finally regained his strength. He sat up and yelled, "You're going to murder me." He was stunned, realized something, and hung his head.

"Brother, let's talk about other things. Astran changed the subject, "I also scored zero in the Element Practice class, and if I still fail in October, I will be put on the Knockout Watch List." ”

Edward gasped. There is a rule in the Academy of Magic: Students who have been enrolled for half a year, even if they get an A in the magic theory class and zero points in the elemental practice class, they will be included in the eliminator watch list, and if they wait for one year, they will still be forced to drop out.

"It's only June, and there's still four months to go. Edward pretended to be relaxed, "Besides, His Majesty the Emperor has just passed away for half a month, and the deans haven't bothered to care about us yet." ”

Astran also sat up, put his hands on his cheeks, and said with a wry smile: "Should you say that you are sluggish, or are you optimistic? By the way, brother, you went into the dean's room later, right, did you find anything?"

Edward closed his eyes and thought about it.

On that day, Edward lied to study hard about books, borrowed books from the dean, and took the opportunity to enter the dean's office. He climbed the ladder and deliberately said that he wanted to find a book to read by himself.

"Dean, you have a lot of books here. Edward's gaze glanced, and he noticed that the books that had been left by him and his brother were still in their place.

Dean Sean sat in his seat and looked at Edward, "Those are old books, don't flip through them, they'll break them." What are you looking for?"

"About iron. Edward casually made up, "I want to know more about them." ”

The dean laughed: "Then you can take a copy in your left hand." ”

Edward deliberately took the book that he couldn't move at the time, and this time he saw it clearly, the book had a black cover, and there was no title on the book.

"Is it this book?" Edward pushed the book out, but it remained unmoving.

Dean Sean walked over, and Edward noticed that the dean's expression did not change in the slightest, and his face did not change and his heart did not beat.

The dean smiled and said, "If you can handle it, you can take it and see it." This book, from the Sunset Province, is said to have been made with black iron. ”

Edward used all his strength to feed, holding it with both hands for a while, and pushing it hard for a while, and the book moved a little. He was so tired and sweating profusely that he cried and mourned: "Who brought this book here?"

Sean pointed to the portrait on the wall, "I guess, it's Dean Holland, or Vice Dean Hausen." At least before I did, the book was here. ”

Edward looked at the portrait.

"Speaking of which, you're a lot like Holland. Blonde hair, brown eyes. Dean Sean narrowed his eyes, "Astran is a lot like Hausen, with blond hair and green eyes. ”

Oops, is it exposed?Edward's hand slipped, and a book fell to the floor.

"How is that possible? If I had such a great father, I would still fail the magic theory exam?" Edward laughed, his laughter filled with emptiness.

Dean Sean grimaced, "Don't pretend, little ghost, I've noticed you since you entered my office. Eduard Friedrich, do you know why I covered for you and let you go?"

"Now that you know everything, let's make it all clear. Edward stood on the ladder and looked at Dean Sean condescendingly, "My brother Astraan and I are here to find out the truth about Daddy's murder of Uncle Horan. "He was going to jump down and crush the dean even if he broke his leg.

"Okay, you can come down and listen slowly. Dean Sean stroked his beard, "I'm ...... Your allies. ”
