The dormitory of the school of magic and wizardry is large, it is a beautiful stone building, and the splicing of each stone is perfect, if you don't look closely, it looks like a big stone, and on the smooth façade is a philosophical text:

The quest for wisdom is the instinct of spiritual beings, and since the birth of the world's first conscious beings, spiritual beings have started a race, choosing in different ways, but the problem that needs to be solved is really only the same - who are we!

"The Origin of Magic" – Albert Hebrew

The Imperial Academy of Magic is a financially supported academy by the Empire, and due to its small numbers, every child who comes here to learn magic does not need to pay additional tuition, and the Empire also provides a monthly subsidy of Imperial Coins for other living expenses of the magic apprentices. But in fact, if you only stay in the Academy of Magic, it doesn't really cost much. Accommodation, food and daily necessities are provided by the Academy of Magic.

Hill and Nina need to live separately, even though they are still children, after all, there is a difference between men and women. However, Oleg and Hill were still assigned together, and not only that, but the newly enrolled children lived together in four people. Hill and Oleg now need to meet up with their new friends.

The dormitories are large and each child is assigned a separate locker, a separate table and a bed. Hill didn't bring a lot of things, only simple clothes, the food prepared was already eaten on the way, and Oleg was about the same. Fortunately, the academy has taken into account the children's abilities and prepared soft quilts and beds. There was even a ceramic water cup and gourd kettle on everyone's table.

Hill quickly packed up his things, chose the bed by the window, and lay down. At this time, footsteps sounded in the hallway outside the door: "Edwin, Jean, your dormitory is at 1-104, take your things and go in." ”

The door was not closed, and there was a knock on the door: "Is there anyone inside?" a childish voice sounded.

"The door is not closed. Hill said.

Then a large package came in, and it was very difficult to squeeze in through the door. "Can you help?" said the same voice just now, obviously struggling.

Hill and Oleg both got out of bed, dragged the package in through the door, and carried it to an empty cabinet with the new kid.

"My name is Edwin, and I'm glad to meet you, thank you for your help. Who are you?" said Edwin.

"I'm Hill, from Greystone, a small town on the edge of the Empire. Hill replied politely.

"Hello, my name is Oleg. Oleg was a little nervous, and his voice trembled.

"Ciel, Oleg, it's nice to know you, from now on, we are roommates, I heard that there are many great magicians in the school who started a great friendship when they entered the school as roommates, and they still maintain it long after leaving the magic academy. Edwin said as he opened his package and pulled out a few strange fruits. "Dragon fruit, a specialty of our hometown, is said to be the favorite of fire dragons. ”

"Edwin, don't show off your dragon fruit, it's just a strange name. You certainly haven't eaten kiwi. It just so happened that I brought it. "Another child came in the door. "I'm Jean, hello, Hill and Oleg. Jean wore a black gown and a small round hat and carried a plate full of fruit.

"Is it really kiwifruit? I've heard that only the nobles of the empire can eat it, and the annual production is very small. Olig said weakly.

"Kiwifruit only survive in Myitsian Ridge, it only ripens every summer, and it is not easy to preserve. Hill said.

Jean's eyes lit up, "Edwin, you're not the only one who knows kiwifruit now, but I'll still give you a piece to eat." ”

"I'm not welcome, who told you that there are kiwifruit trees on your manor, which are precious to others, but to you Jean, they are just ordinary fruits. Edwin took the plate from Jean and gave the fruit to Hill and Oleg.

Hill and Oleg, although they shared food on the way, didn't know anything about the Academy of Magic. It's inevitable that you don't know what to give back to your new roommate.

"I heard you're from Greystone?" Jean asked.

"Yes, Oleg and I came from there. How do you know about Greystone?" said Ciel, picking up the dragon fruit, peeling off the skin and taking a bite.

"According to the history of the Empire, the first leader of the Heren Empire fought a brutal battle in the town of Graystone, known as the Battle of Graystone. Jean looked solemn. "My grandfather, as the Grand Knight Chief, led a brigade of knights and participated in that battle. ”

"There were a lot of people who died in this battle. Hill was a little sad.

"There are a lot of people, and the Empire has built a Monument to Heroes in Greystone for this purpose. Jean said.

Yes, every year when the first snow is about to come, Grandpa always takes Hill to stay there for a while. There is a cemetery in Greystone Town, and a huge memorial stone monument is erected, and the inscription reads: The warriors who gave their lives for the establishment of the empire are immortal! Hill asked Grandpa what this solemn place was for, and Grandpa said it was to commemorate the people who died for the Empire. But whenever Hill asked Grandpa if he knew these people, Grandpa always shook his head and said no. But Hill didn't understand why Grandpa was so sad, although there were no tears, Hill just understood that Grandpa was sad, more sad than the cold wind in winter.

"Jean, stop talking about the past, let Hill and Oleg taste your kiwifruit. Edwin said, interrupting Jean and Ciel's memories of the war.

"Oleg, how is the dragon fruit? Your and Hill's opinions are important for my dragon fruit plan. Edwin asked Oleg. Rubbing his hands together, he was full of anticipation for Oleg's answer.

"Well, it's delicious. "Oleg's mouth was already full of dragon fruit juice, like a bad boy stealing lipstick, and it looked very funny.

"Hahahaha!" The laughter spread from Edwin's mouth first, and there was always some unexpected surprise when eating dragon fruit for the first time. The child laughs while eating dragon fruit.

"Do you know why I came to the Academy of Magic?" said Edwin cryptically.

The child had finished eating and stopped laughing.

"Learn magic. "Jean is cold.

"No, no, no, magic is only one of the ends, but not my ultimate goal. Edwin shook his head.

"Project Dragon Fruit, or what ulterior motives do you have?" Hill quipped.

"Of course, I have a great plan, but with my own strength, it may be difficult, and I may need your help, so I will share this plan with you. But you can't tell anybody. Edwin said.

"I won't let us do bad things, but I want to be a man who dreams of becoming the leader of the empire, and I can't be in the same league as those who do bad things. "Jean is determined.

"And what are you going to do, Generous Edwin?" asked Ciel.

"I've heard that there is a lot of ice magic in the Imperial Academy of Magic, and now there are great nobles in the Empire who like to use ice to preserve fresh fruits. If I use ice magic to save the dragon fruit and sell it in the imperial capital, I will definitely make a lot of money. For example, the dragon fruit you ate was saved by me by asking Mr. Harlan to help me. Edwin said.

"Magicians don't lack money, magicians only lack magic coins. "So you can't hire a magician to transport fruit for you." ”

"So I came to the Academy of Magic to find a way, and if you have any good ideas, be sure to tell me. Edwin said.

"But we haven't started learning magic yet, and if there is, I'll tell you. Hill replied in the affirmative.

"I probably won't be able to help, Teacher Betty said I'm going to be a fire mage in the future. "Oleg has secretly eaten a kiwifruit, which will be free.

"It's okay, maybe fire magic has some other purpose. For example?" Edwin didn't think of any use for fire magic.

"Like roasted jerky. Hill said. "Barbecue may be able to use fire magic. ”

"Really?" Oleg couldn't help but salivate the corners of his mouth, the tender and delicious roast beef at the dinner that day was really delicious, and Oleg still missed the tender beef and lamb chops.

"A bunch of uninformed fellows, how can a great magician do such a thing. Expanding territory is the glory that belongs to magicians. Gene despised his three little friends.

"Maybe we'll find a way when we learn magic. Hill said.

Hill doesn't care, if you can eat exotic food at any time, it's also a happy thing.

The children in the dormitory quickly began to talk until the voice of Uncle Tim, the housekeeper, said, "It's time to go to bed, boys!"
