Chapter 44: A sigh

Edward running laps on the playground. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Astram held his chin and looked.

Arthur was on the side, touching his face.

"He deserves to die!" Arthur said hatefully, "let him deceive me!"

"Hey, I say, what the hell happened last night?" Astran squinted and looked at Arthur's cheek, which still had handprints remaining.

Arthur turned his head, and there were tears in his eyes: "I performed "The Frog Prince" very hard, and when it ended, I took off my costume and waited for Avril to kiss me, but she screamed and slapped me in front of the teachers and students of the whole house. ”

Astraan's eyes widened, "Really, fake?"

She said she thought it was Edward. Arthur sniffled and yelled, "Your brother is a bastard!

"Impossible!" Astraan's tone was firm, "my brother wouldn't do such a thing, you know he's always been disgusted by love poems, and he's always been slow when it comes to feelings. ”

"That's rhetoric!" Arthur wiped tears from his eyes, "and he tore out the place where my name was at the end of the letter. I swear I'll never bother with him again. Break up!"

Astran shrugged helplessly.

"Wait, don't you see...... "Arthur looked Astran up and down, "What did you do yesterday?"

"I just went to the bathroom. Astran lied.

Last night.

Edward and he broke into the dean's office, a huge office with three rows of bookshelves full of books. There was a plate of fruit on the desk, and behind the desk, hung the flag of the empire and the heraldic flag of the mage.

"Look! it's Holland!" Edward gestured to the portrait hanging on the wall.

Through the faint light, Astran saw Holland's appearance. His golden hair, like the ripe ears of wheat in autumn, was neatly combed, his brown eyes shone with wisdom, and the gold-trimmed robes that matched his hair made him noble and imposing.

"So Uncle Holland looks like this. Astran didn't remember his uncle at all, "What does Dad look like?"

"Speaking of which, Daddy's eyes are green. Edward blinked, he looked at Astraan, "They're like me and you, the elder brother has turquoise eyes, and the younger brother has brown eyes. It's all blonde hair. ”

Astran took a deep breath and said, "Let's look for any clues." ”

Edward rummaged through every nook and cranny of his desk, and Astraan pulled the wool rug out from under the desk, scrutinizing every piece of the floor.

"I should have thought that after 10 years, how could the office furnishings be exactly the same. Edward sighed, "Even if Uncle Holland had any diaries and letters, they would have been thrown away long ago." ”

"Maybe there are books, and those books are full of dust. Astraan's eyes lit up, and he pointed to a bookshelf.

The two brought in chairs and flipped through the bookshelves.

"It's boring books. Oh, look, the tome "Full Moon Collection", oh my God, I don't want to turn it over at all. Edward shook his head and moved the tome away.

Astraan looked out the window, the window of the dean's office in the administration building was facing the auditorium, which was now brightly lit, and laughter could be faintly heard.

"Oh no, they seem to be almost over. "We need to hurry up." ”

Edward gritted his teeth, stiffened his face, and pulled a book hard: "What kind of book is this? It's so heavy, come and help!"

Astran climbed up the ladder and saw that the book Edward was talking about had a black cover, and he carefully touched the spine of the book and said, "It seems that this book is fake." How is it possible that the spine of the book is so tightly attached to the bookshelf?"

Edward's eyes lit up: "There must be a problem! Push hard!" The two of them held the edge of the book, but they could not hold the book.

At this moment, footsteps sounded in the hallway.

"Not good!" Edward lowered his voice, "Tidy up the books and go!"

The footsteps were getting closer, and Astran knocked over the ladder. He broke out in a cold sweat.

"Meow-" Edward quickly meowed.

"It's too late!" Edward picked up the ladder, his footsteps getting closer and closer, and suddenly there was no sound.

"Strange, why does the lock on the door fall on its own?" was Dean Sean's voice. He pushed the door open.

Edward and Astran hid behind the bookshelves and watched Dean Sean walk in. He stopped at the door, and after a while, he walked over to a row of bookshelves and said to himself, "Hey, I'm old, and I don't know how to put the books back in place after reading." Where did you put this book?"

Edward's back and palms were sweaty. Astraan tugged at his arm, his palms sweaty.

Dean Sean walked over to the desk, picked up an apple, and said suspiciously, "Strange, how could I throw a half-eaten apple on a plate?" ”

Edward's eyes widened as he looked at Astraan, who still had apple peels left on the corners of his mouth. He was going crazy, his greedy brother, his sleepy brother, finally tasted the end of gluttony.

Dean Sean turned and faced the window, coughing in the cool evening breeze.

Edward and Astran tiptoed around and adjusted their hiding place to avoid the dean's sight.

"Damn Edward!" a voice sounded in the doorway, causing Edward to scare and jump.

"You're here?" Director Elfman exclaimed, "You come over to me!"

Edward smiled with an iron rod in his hand.

"Elfman, wait, I called him. Dean Sean waved his hand, "The door is open, the lock is broken." ”

While Edward and Director Elfman were standing at Dean Sean's desk, Astran slipped out of the Dean's office.

When Edward came back from his lap, he was sweating profusely. When Arthur saw him, he turned his head away, turned and walked away.

"Feeling good in body and mind. Astrand, you should run with me. Edward wiped his sweat and sat down.

"I'll die if I run so much with you in the morning. Astran shook his head and said with a frown.

"If you don't run, you'll die of fat. Edward patted Astraan's head, "You even dare to steal the Dean's apple." ”

"I'm hungry. At the beginning of the festival, there is a buffet. I'm not here for you. Astran said aggrievedly, "Brother, tell me quickly, what happened later?"

Edward laughed, "The dean told Director Elfman that he had noticed my difference a long time ago, so he called me to the office to talk. He criticized Director Elfman for not detaining me for a week for cheating on exams. Then he said, from today onwards, give me special training. ”

Astran blinked, "It's running?"

"Of course not. He said that since I have comprehended the magic of iron, I should learn from the white demon Kasiu and become a swordsman who manipulates the iron element. Edward beamed proudly, "Starting today, I will be exempted from the ordinary elemental summoning magic assessment, and I will have more time to learn swordsmanship from Instructor William. Wowhaha, I don't have to look at Instructor Walter's bitter face anymore. ”

Astran lay on his back on the ground and sighed, "If only I could be like you, and comprehend the magic of the difference sooner." ”

"Until then, it's good that your appetite isn't different. Edward stretched his arms and looked at his biceps.

Astran ignored his brother's ridicule and said with a serious face, "Don't you think it's strange? Dean Sean is covering for you?"

Edward frowned, and put one hand on his cheek: "It's strange indeed. First of all, when he entered the door, he saw that the books were left unattended, the apples were eaten, and those who talked to themselves, I think he was speaking to us. Do you think, before this, the books were neatly arranged, how could it be that when you go back to the office, the order of the books is messed up? And apples, apples that have just been bitten, the flesh of which is white, and apples that have been bitten a long time ago, the flesh of the flesh has become yellow. And the bite marks can also be seen differently. ”

"I'm sorry...... Astran lowered his head, "I'll pay attention next time." ”

Edward slapped Astrand's head: "Don't steal next time!"

Astran looked serious: "What I care more about is that since he knows that we are here, why should he cover for us and let me go." He said that the door was open and that the lock was broken, but he actually meant it to me. ”

Edward touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "And the book that we never moved." ”

Astraan shook his hand: "Speaking of which, yesterday I thought that the book was abnormal, it must be fake." My hands hurt. It feels like the book is hard. What's next for you?"

Edward's eyes lit up, "I'm Edward, the Iron Mage! ”

Astraan shook his head, "You seem to have mistaken the point." What about dad and uncle?"

Edward snapped his fingers, "We are the children of magicians, and becoming magicians is also inheriting their ideas." Besides, I've signed a contract with the iron elemental now. As for Dad and Uncle, since Dean Sean has covered us, it means that he has a good impression of us. Then I'll study magic hard and get close to the dean. ”

Astran put his hands on his cheeks, "You're right, it looks like I should study magic too." ”

"By the way, why did Arthur run away when he saw me?" Edward suddenly thought.

Astran sighed deeply: "Avril slapped him in front of all the teachers and students of the academy. Just as he took off his frog costume. ”

Edward crossed his hands on his hips: "It's so dangerous, it turns out that they are playing the original version of "The Frog Prince", if I play it, I will be the one who will be slapped." I'll go and apologize to Arthur. Hey, that little bastard of Zoya, you lied to me. ”

Astran tilted his head, lowered his head, and muttered, "Why did I lose to my brother who was so sluggish......"
