Chapter 23: The Dean's Wish (New Chapter)
......
The Academy of Magic, as usual, was immersed in peace.
To the north of the college, there is a very spectacular building. It has been renovated to resemble an ancient ruin.
An old figure on crutches, standing between the bridges of two buildings, looked out over the academy, and his dim eyes flashed back to the past.
He is actually 105 years old this year, and he has reached the point of wind erosion. He saw the central square in the distance sparkling everywhere, which reminded him of how the Grand School of Magic was like 90 years ago.
At that time, she was still a carefree teenager, often holding her little hand and taking her to play in the lake. She once told herself that she wanted to stay at the Grand School of Magic forever because this was where she and herself met.
Those days were very dull, but now that I look back, I realize that it was my happiest time. Learn magic with her and look to the future together. She also said that she would surrender a giant dragon, and in the future, she would take herself, riding a flying dragon to enjoy the most beautiful scenery, and also to chase the gorgeous sunset.
In order to achieve this goal, the two of them traveled together and traveled almost the entire continent.
In the end, the dragon was finally found by herself, but she was gone. The world seems to have lost its color, and the originally clear sky always feels a little gray.
So, he focused on money and honor, always rushed to the front when encountering danger, and adventure became a part of life.
However, after decades of wandering, he found that none of these things made sense, that it was not what he wanted.
So, he returned to the Grand School of Magic. He found that there were many memories of her here, and it was the most beautiful and unforgettable.
She says she wants to stay at the Academy of Magic forever and maybe a part of her has returned. Otherwise, how could I always see her?
This is where the dream began, so I stopped and never wanted to leave. Perhaps, his dream will also end here.
His eyes suddenly blurred, and all he saw was her smile. Everything about her became clearer and clearer, and he deeply felt that his time was running out. And her dream has not been realized for her until now.
When will it be before you can fulfill your promise?
He really couldn't wait any longer. Because without her by my side, I always feel that this world is unusually cold, and time seems to have stopped, and every day I stay here is a torment for myself.
At this moment, a voice beside him interrupted his thoughts: "Dean Calais, I heard that you plan to let Colin train Dewey, do you really plan to make that child your heir?"
The dean seemed to be much older, and said weakly: "Han Xiu, my time is running out, I'm worried that I can't wait any longer, you know." ”
Han Xiu hurriedly comforted him and said, "Your body is still very good, don't be in a hurry." ”
The old man said sadly: "The key is that Linna has also waited for a long time, and the old man has no choice!"
Han Xiu hurriedly said: "You should know that Dewey is the heir of the Dragon Flame Guild, you really plan to hand over your life's work to a mercenary family?"
The old man looked into the distance and said, "It doesn't matter who it is, I once made a vow that the next person to open the Black Magic Book, I will do my best to realize his dream." ”
Han Xiu behind him was silent for a while. yes, the dean is too old for him to wait any longer. But the world seems to have been working against him, and there has not been a talent who can be shaped over the years. The influence of Grand House has also been declining, and the recent ranking has dropped out of the top 10 colleges......
......
In the magic class the next day, Thundercloud was still lying on the table as usual, thinking about how to earn a gold coin?
In addition to the cost of the challenge, you also need to buy a magic wand yourself. Even if you don't have a magic wand, you can still summon powerful magic. But it's too noticeable, and that's not a good thing.
Now, of course, his mind has changed a bit, and yesterday Colin told him that this is a fair place. Although I'm a foreigner, I haven't done anything wrong, so I shouldn't have to worry about it, right?
Maybe it's because I'm thinking too much, hiding my strength or something, it's not necessary at all. The most important thing to do now is to save up enough gold coins and it's time to improve your life.
However, the reality is that a gold coin is really a huge amount of money for ordinary people.
Seeing that he had already finished two classes, he still didn't think of a way to make money. He can't be blamed for this, for a sixteen-year-old, this question is indeed tricky!
Roger and Victor came to him one after another when they saw him with a sad face, and the former jokingly said, "Yo! What's wrong with you, could it be that you have fallen out of love?"
Thundercloud was still lying on the table, "I'm wondering, how can I make 100 credits?"
Victor smiled: "This is easy, as long as you stay in the magic academy and don't have to do anything, you can save this money after two years." ”
Lei Yun glanced at him: "The key is that I will use it now, two years or something, it's too boring." ”
Roger said tentatively: "By the way, isn't that Miss Tiana your person, just ask her to give a little." ”
Lei Yun said with a bitter face: "I don't have anything to do with her anymore, so this path won't work." ”
Roger turned back to Victor and said, "Sure enough, it's a broken love, I'm not wrong, right?"
Victor was surprised: "Little Lei, do you want to spend money to chase her back?"
Lei Yun said angrily: "What are you talking about? stay away from me, I don't want to see you again." ”
Roger and Victor glanced at each other, the former simply moved a chair and sat beside him with a big grin, "Don't be discouraged, brother, I'll give you a few ideas." ”
Victor also patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, and us." How about I have 10 silver coins here, and I'll lend them all to you?"
Lei Yun glanced at him: "This money is not enough at all, is there any other way?"
"Of course!" Roger laughed, "I don't know if you've ever been to the college's bulletin board? ”
Lei Yun was surprised, "What bulletin board? I don't quite understand. ”
Roger laughed and said, "It's the bulletin board of the school, there are a lot of work commissions on it! Our magic academy is a small society, and few noble young masters and young ladies are lazy, so they often issue some strange job invitations, don't you want to take a look?"
"How can such a thing?" said Thundercloud, surprised.
Victor wondered, "This is the simplest form of the union, and you don't know it?" I wonder where you came from. ”
Roger next to him also said: "In fact, no matter where you are, there is a similar place where you can accept work commissions. However, some of the tasks are more dangerous and must be performed by a mage or hunter. In the future, after we graduate from this academy, we will be able to receive these more dangerous missions. As for now, at most, I can only take on some errands. ”
Of course, Thundercloud knew about the Magic Association, but he didn't expect that there would be a similar bulletin board inside the Academy of Magic. It's quite convenient, no wonder the economy of this country is so developed, so I perked up and said, "Okay, I'll go see it now!"
Victor was stunned for a moment: "Hey, you don't want to skip class again, do you?"
Before the words were finished, the thunderclouds had disappeared at the end of the walk......
Victor said shamefully: "This guy is really dead, and he will be expelled sooner or later if he continues like this." ”
