Chapter Forty-Nine: The Grand Ceremony
"Oh, my dear brother, is that why you came to school in Iluvita?" a familiar voice from Morin came from the door of the common room. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The boy turned his head in amazement, and saw the cold and haughty face under the silver moonlight, who could it be if it wasn't Minerma?
This was the first time Morin had seen her without armor, her originally scattered blonde hair tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, a rather sturdy black leather short, well-made trousers loose and flexible, and a pair of flat sandals. Her shoulders are slightly wider, and her slender arms reveal the lines of force, but her figure is still bumpy.
Hearing this voice, Marcas's originally red face instantly turned pale. With a ghostly expression, he slowly turned his head, his dull gaze swept over everyone, as if to say that he was already dead, and remember to send my remains home.
"Sister...... Sister ......" Marcas squeezed out his voice a little bit dryly: "No...... This is actually because the Royal Academy has an old sister to take care of you, and it is difficult to exercise your ability, so you ...... will choose Iluvita Academy. β
"Really?" Minerma asked coldly, raising an eyebrow.
Even Mo Lin on the side felt a cold wind coming, and he was so oppressed that he didn't dare to look at that sword-like gaze.
The barbarian boy who was dozing off woke up with a solemn face, if he could still faintly sense the strength of the red-haired girl in the afternoon, at this time, he completely lost his judgment, this blonde girl about twenty years old was much stronger than his own strength.
Marcus pinched himself hard and said hard, "Yes...... Yes. β
Minerma's eyes showed a little satisfaction: "You are sensible, but even if you go to the Royal Academy, I will not take too much care of you, on the contrary, I will urge you to work harder." β
Glad that he had escaped, Marcas quietly wiped the cold sweat from his palms on his trouser legs, and said secretly, This is the reason why I came to Iluvita Academy, old sister, under the supervision of your requirements comparable to that of the royal guard, how can I survive for a few days.
But he immediately heard the news that had him fall into the abyss.
"But it's okay," Minelma said, "and I'm going to be in seventh grade here this year, and I'll be pushing you and Fox well." β
Feeling that it was dark in front of him, Marcas hurriedly supported his body, thinking about his future life, sad and sad, and said with a crying voice: "I ...... I'll try. β
The father has a total of three sons and one daughter, and he is the only daughter, but the eldest brother and the second brother are too utilitarian, and the noble honor they pursue has learned all kinds of scheming methods since they were children, and they are not in harmony with their own temperament.
Maybe it's better to be older.
Minerma shook her head and turned her attention to Morin, "How's your injury, little ghost?"
"Occasional headaches, but much better than before. Merlin replied that although he didn't have the Star of Electric Pea, he could feel that he was recovering, at least the number of labor pains in his mind was decreasing.
Hearing that he hadn't recovered yet, Minelma snorted coldly: "I know that those druids are unreliable, take this." β
As she spoke, she had a small transparent ball in her hand, and the ball was engraved with a white leaf with five golden veins. In the middle of the transparent ball is a pink liquid the size of a bean, and the liquid is still fluctuating slightly, as if it is alive.
"A fifth-order potion?!" the young man exclaimed, the white leaves were the symbol of the Temple of Life, and the number of leaf veins indicated the rank. In Harry Harbor before, I had only seen first-order healing potions, and those for regular soldiers to eat would cost more than a dozen gold coins. As for the fifth-order elixir, I'm afraid the cheapest one can only be bought with tens of thousands of gold coins.
"It's not too good, but in a hurry, you only have time to find this, wait two days for you to go to the academy teacher to see, and then take this" Minelma handed the potion to the boy, "I hope it will be of some use." β
With a deep understanding of the financial resources of the nobles of the Gesok Empire, Mo Lin's heart warmed, although the cold-faced woman in front of him always had various prejudices against things, and she also liked to be prickly in her words, but she was still very good. But it's a coincidence, she's actually Marcus's sister.
"She is Minelma, who once saved me in the Gundi Forest with Teacher Honorome. The boy introduced to Aeno and Barron, "Speaking of which, how is Mr. Honorrom, and how did you come here in exchange? You are not very ...... Belch...... Don't like Illuvita Academy?"
"When you woke up that day, I went after Honorom to tell him what you had said about the mage," she was in no mood to express her prejudice against Iluvita, but said with a frown and a worried face, "but I didn't catch it." β
"We were on a mission in the Temple of Nature to track down the cause of Lothar's nightmare twelve years ago, and the only clue we found was to that suspicious mage, the old man who almost killed you," Minerma continued, "but your conversation with him showed more gravity than expected, and I followed the mark left by Honorom all the way to the borders of the order, and then lost their tracks. β
"He must have chased the old man into the chaotic territory, and I was inexperienced enough to enter the black forest to continue the pursuit, so I returned to the temple to report, but more than ten days have passed and still have not received any news about Honorom. Her expression seemed to condense frost, as if she was angry because of her lack of strength, and said with a slight gloom, "Things are a little unusual, he is the most powerful ranger I have ever come into contact with, and his familiarity with the Chaos Forest is unmatched, so it stands to reason that he should have caught up with that suspicious mage a long time ago." But because of the loss of their traces, the Elemental Temple can't send people to track them down, there is no other way, I can only apply for the last year of study exchange here, if Honorom comes back, I can know immediately, and by the way, I will also supervise my two younger brothers. β
Hearing that Teacher Honorom hadn't come back yet, Morin couldn't help but be a little worried, but he still comforted: "I think Teacher Honorom is so powerful, there must be nothing wrong, it should be delayed by something else, maybe he has returned to the academy now." β
Minerma nodded, shook her head again, thought for a moment and asked, "What about the elemental creature next to you that day?"
It seems that she is really interested in Xiao Hei, and she never forgets to study it.
A burst of panic came from the ring marks, I won't go out if I am killed, young man, you can do it yourself.
"Uh...... You say little black," Morin laughed dryly, "and it said it was asleep." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The college's dormitory castle was huge, and Minerma lived in a tower quite far away from them, which made Marcus somewhat relieved.
After learning that he still likes magic machines, his sister forces himself to draw all kinds of illustrations every day, but the evaluation is quite harsh and strict. God knows when she learned about this, and the only solace in living under the pressure of her old sister came from the slightly encouraging dark blue gaze of the Vess Demon.
Without Marcus staring at him all day long, Tilna's thinking center was finally soothed, so she often encouraged the sad face of the young Gessock.
I have to say that compared to such a vast college, the number of students is really insignificant, according to Tierna, the college only recruited 100 students a year a long time ago, until the last ten years have gradually increased, but there are only more than 200 people a year.
There is a dining hall in the dormitory, and a variety of food is served free of charge from early morning to midnight, with the only requirement being that you can't take it out. At lunchtime, Maureen had seen a chubby freshman who had secretly hidden a piece of pastry in his bag, and then suddenly floated up in the passage out of the dining hall and squeezed into the ceiling of the hall. The senior on duty took a look, but didn't put him down, and let him float at the top of the hall until late at night, becoming a joke and warning for all the freshmen.
If you want to eat in the dormitory or common room, you have to go to the store and buy it.
The dining hall is large, with long tables and a wide passage in the middle. All students need to do is find a place to sit, choose their food through their identity rings, and the food will be delivered by a wooden food truck powered by a magic crystal card, and the empty dishes will be collected by the way. It is said to have been designed by the School of Mechanics and Manufacturing, but there are still many students who complain about its inadequacy: you have to come up with the name of the food before you can tell the Identity Ring, which is a painful thing because many times you don't know what you want to eat.
As for the new students, they can only rely on their team leader for the time being.
It was dinner time, and in the corner of the long table, a young man with black hair and black eyes suddenly dropped the fork in his hand.
He was dressed in a rather modest robe, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be stiff and mild, but his dark eyes were fixed on the entrance of the dining hall, as if he had seen something incredible.
"Strayer, what's wrong?" asked the short and fat boy beside him, putting down the bread in his hand.
"Look over there, Osmond," Strayer pointed to the door instead of picking up the fork on the floor, "with the burly boy and the cyborg, the blue-eyed one." β
"Eh, it's him," Osmond was stunned for a moment, and said, "Didn't he say that he wanted to be a mage and was not admitted to the academy, did he later agree to think about the development of the war profession and the law phase?" What's his name...... Maureen, right? Shall we go say hello?" "Since they are all classmates now, the conflict in the ship's admissions test before is really nothing in his opinion, not to mention that the barbarian named Barron, he still wants to fight him again.
"Morin...... Callander ...... ," Strayer slowly squeezed the name out of the corners of his mouth, "Are you sure it's him?"
Osmond nodded, "Yes." β
The black-haired and black-eyed young man took a long breath, changed the corners of his mouth to a gentle smile and said, "Forget it, let's go and say hello again when we have a chance in the future." β
With that, he leaned over to pick up his fork.
Hearing Strayer say this, the short and fat boy continued to eat, although there was no need to call Strayer His Royal Highness in the academy, but it could be seen that Osmond still followed his words.
However, he didn't notice that Strayer, who was leaning down, suddenly had a hideous expression.
How is it possible, how is this possible.
He's still alive......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In the anticipation of all the new students, in the sighing and sighing complaints of all the troublemakers, the opening ceremony finally began.
The ceremony took place in the castle hall, which is the main hall of the castle, which is much larger than the dining hall, tens of meters wide and hundreds of meters long. The dome dozens of meters high is illuminated with crystals to create a starry sky, and a huge ball of light in the center illuminates the entire hall like a moon god.
There were more than 100 teachers sitting on the long podium, and it is said that many did not attend. Students wore school uniforms and were seated by grade and group.
The robes of the students of the School of Nature and Life are predominantly green, those of the Mechanics and Fabrication School are predominantly blue, the Combat and Command School is flaming red, and the Classical Mage School is pure black, as Mike Caviezer once wore. All robes had a silver tree tattooed on the back, the emblem of the Iluvita Academy.
As for the freshmen, they also wore black robes. Under the leadership of the group leader, they sat at a long table closest to the main seat.
Merlin was looking around curiously.
Those seniors are not often seen in the dormitory castle, or even at allβthe teenager found a sixth-grade senior who looked like a small tree sitting in a special green robe in the distance, and there was also a ghost senior who was also dressed in a green robe, the third grade, who was the same deceased as Aenuno.
And the teacher on the main stage, the young man looked quietly and found the blood-eyed brand, but the other party didn't seem to notice him, Morin breathed a sigh of relief, continued to search, and found the old man with a goatee who sold magic wands, Wang Deer, who was tasting a glass of wine, but still didn't find Mr. Honorome, and he was a little worried in his heart. He noticed that the middle position, which was supposed to be the dean's place, was empty, and there was only a name tag that read: Fielding.
"Tierna, aren't the deans attending the opening ceremony?" asked Marcas, thinking that this was too irresponsible.
Vesdemon's dark red gaze flickered, and he replied, "Dean Fielding rarely shows up, and as for the opening ceremony, it seems that he has never been attended, and I have only seen him twice in my more than four years in the academy. β
"And who's in charge now?" asked Morin.
"Generally, the vice dean presides over it, and Ms. Anna Gu is more in charge. Tilna replied.
Maureen's eyes searched the nameplate, and found that the supposedly strictest teacher, Alice's mother, Anna Goo, sat at the edge of the dean's seat, a middle-aged woman, dressed in a black gown with an emerald pointed hat with a wide but low brim, which half-shadowed her face was revealed, revealing only knife-cut thin lips and the sharp tip of her nose.
As if sensing the young man's gaze, Anna Gu suddenly looked over, her sharp gaze somewhat similar to Minerma's, but not cold, but without any emotion.
It was as if he was in the barrel tavern at that time, and was instantly seen through by Mr. Honorom's gaze, and Morin felt that there was no secret to speak of, and hurriedly looked away.
At the same time, Anna Gu stood up, not seeing her use any magic, but her crisp voice immediately resounded throughout the hall: "Now issue the Ring of Freshman Status." β
At the sound of her voice, a golden ring suddenly appeared in front of the young man, similar to the one on Tilna's hand, inlaid with a pale gray crystal engraved with a silver tree. Morin looked to the side, and the same ring floated in front of Emino and the other freshmen.
Anna Goo, who was sitting in the seat, pulled out a dull yellow piece of paper, and the boy noticed that she was wearing dark green gloves.
With a wave of her hand, the paper lit up, and hundreds of pure white rays of light rushed out of it, each landing on the ring in front of the new student like a swimming fish.
Maureen saw a ray of light fall on the outside of the ring in front of him, connected to a dark gray crystal, and the lines gradually distorted into a string of letters: Maureen Callander, the pure white lines gradually dimmed, as if they had melted into the ring.
"New students, please bring your identity ring. Anna Koo said.
Mo Lin took off the ring in front of him, and wanted to put it on the ring mark on his middle finger, just to replace the silver ring used for concealment, but he didn't want Xiao Hei to have a feeling of resistance: This finger is my place, young man, you wear it on other fingers.
His face was dark, why did he lose the ownership of his middle finger inexplicably, the young man wondered, but he couldn't compete with Xiao Hei, so he had to put it on the index finger next to him, and the size was unbiased.
"Now I announce," Anna Gu said, waving her hand, and the star-like illumination crystal on the dome suddenly dimmed, and then the central moon-like orb ceased to glow, and the hall was dark.
"The competition for group points is on," a star lit up,
"The book borrowing point system came into effect," a star lit up,
"Regional identity restriction rules come into effect," a whole constellation lit up,
"......" Every time she says a rule or a note, a light crystal will re-emit light on the dome.
The vice-dean's voice grew faster and faster, and the boy felt that he could no longer hear her words, and the stars in the sky of the hall were also rapidly lit up.
"The new school year has officially begun. Finally, with her final announcement, the moon-like sphere in the center of the hall shone again, and students and faculty raised their glasses.
Merlin also clinked glasses to Aeno beside him to celebrate, but his hand shook and he spilled some fruit wine.
Because the boy heard a voice in his head, the same voice as the one in the test bracelet that Tilna gave herself when the airport group was formed that day, the voice of a seven or eight-year-old girl who was still very childish.
"Well, every year I talk a lot of words, and I don't have to do the work, it's really exhausting to me. β
