Act XXIX
Grantia was a little confused, she saw Alyssa waving in her direction, completely unaware that the other party's target was her.
She looked around, but no one responded to Alyssa's greeting, and even looked at Grantia because of her actions.
"Uh, is that really me?"
Grantia wondered how she could meet a high-profile new star if she was just an ordinary student.
The two don't have much intersection, and it's only three times.
The first time was in the library, where Grantia came to find information about the contestants who had participated in the magic contest in the past, but was taken by Alyssa.
The second time was in the hallway of the teaching area, when Grantia was pestered by Will Sandersen, and Alyssa came to her rescue.
The third time was the scene of the magic competition, and Alyssa had a brief exchange with Grandia.
In Grantia's mind, this Alyssa Tray was at best a familiar classmate, and it seemed that it was no better than that.
Maybe the other party just found a random person to get rid of other people's entanglement, and this person happened to be Grantia.
She also saw Will next to Alyssa, and this thought came to her mind.
[Fireless Ashes: Is this the contestant in the magic competition, it doesn't look good.] 】
In the field of vision, [Ashes without Fire] looked down on the students here, in fact, there were only people at the level of mages and apprentices, if they successfully advanced within the seven years of studying in the academy, then they would automatically graduate and go to study under other mages, so even Alyssa, who was called a genius, was now just a mage apprentice.
Of course, Alyssa's growth rate is quite impressive, and within a short period of exposure to magic, she is already close to an apprentice who has been studying for seven years, which is another topic.
[Ultramarine Fortress Scholar: These are all mage apprentices here, of course they don't think it's good, the headmaster of Christine Royal Academy, but what about a third-order mage. 】
The third-order mage, Rosen on the other end of the dialog box calculated, that is, a mage at the peak level of bronze, is also not very good.
But he didn't say it, and chose another topic.
[Fireless afterglow: That girl seems to be pretty good. 】
He was referring to Alyssa.
Grantia had already walked to Alyssa's neighborhood, and she saw Will stand up and leave with an angry look, and said a few words as she left.
"Wait and see, Alyssa Terrest. ”
Despite the noise of the crowd, Grantia could hear Will's words clearly.
She didn't understand why this guy kept chasing her and Alyssa, could it be that there was something wrong with his head?
"Hmph, Grantia Ulysses, just wait for the crushing defeat. ”
When passing by Grandia's side, Will deliberately tried to hit Grandia with his shoulder, but Grantia, who has the physical fitness of the real black iron rank, dodged it very easily.
"You ......"
Will seemed a little surprised, but didn't say much, just pushed aside the crowd and walked to another corner and sat down.
"See you again. ”
Grantia ignored Will and greeted Alyssa.
"Sit down, it's about to begin. ”
Alyssa glanced at Grantia, the young girl's apprentice's robes were a little messy, and she looked as if she had come in a hurry, she didn't say anything, and then her gaze fell back to the book in her hand.
At this time, as several teachers walked into the hall, the students who were originally noisy gradually quieted down.
Grandia sat beside Alyssa a little inexplicably, she looked at the teachers on the stage, and couldn't help but feel that this magic competition was worthy of being one of the biggest academic activities of Christine Royal Academy.
There were nine teachers on stage.
With the exception of Grantia's long-known vice-chancellors, Francester and Siegfrier, the rest of the school are also important figures.
Among them was Headmaster Trastan, who had a snow-white beard and was dressed in a pure white robe, with three gold trims on the cuffs, and the fourth was embroidered with only a phant, a sign of his imminent breakthrough.
Next, President Trastein spoke as a representative.
This routine speech contains a lot of official statements, including the origin of the magic competition, some major events, and then the introduction of the participants of this magic competition, which are all trivial matters.
"One president, three vice presidents, five professors, this should be the judge of the finals. ”
Alyssa said to herself, then glanced at Grantia.
But this guy was actually drowsy, so he almost fell asleep directly on the table.
After all, last night happened to be the day when "The Name of Forgotten" ended, and it was understandable for Grantia to stay up late, not that she pretended to be light, but she was indeed sleepy.
Alyssa felt a little amused, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
And Grantia, little by little, finally hit the corner of the table slightly.
"Pain, pain, pain!"
Covering her forehead, Grantia let out a soft cry, but soon she was drawn to something else.
That's the smile on Alyssa's side next to her.
In retrospect, it seems that Grantia has never seen this girl smile sincerely, but at this moment, Alyssa, who is smiling at Grandia's funny appearance, is as beautiful as a goddess.
Grant couldn't help but lose her mind a little.
Sensing Grantia's gaze, Alyssa also sensed her own gaffe, and she turned her face away and looked at the podium.
It was also time for Principal Trastein to end his lengthy speech and prepare to announce the finalists.
“...... That's why in this magic competition, we have selected 10 contestants during the long selection process, and they will be able to present their works in front of all the students on the anniversary of the founding of the school. ”
Principal Trastan stroked his beard and declared.
"First place, Alyssa Trest. ”
When he said this name, everyone present was not so surprised, after all, it was reasonable, she was known as one of Christine's most outstanding students since the establishment of the school, and it was strange if she did not succeed in making the cut.
Alyssa did not have any emotional fluctuations, put away the book in her hand, stood up, and walked to the podium with steady steps amid the envious or jealous gazes of everyone.
Several of the teachers smiled at Alyssa, and it seemed that good students were liked by their teachers wherever they were.
"Second ......"
After a pause, Principal Trastan said the second name.
"Will Sandersen. ”
