"Friends ......"

Baker's mood at the moment was in a trance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The word friend is something that he can't imagine in his short life of more than ten years.

was born in a nobleman, but never one day lived as a noble young master.

Since he was sensible, all he saw was the dirty rock walls of Zu'an and the dark and dull underworld

Just because, his biological father is a spy in Noxus.

Expelled by the family, his biological mother died in the dark lower level of Zu'an, and no one was willing to approach him except for the friends of the Hope House.

Even some of the Zuans who knew his identity and origin scoffed at him.

In the year since he entered the Piltover Academy of Technology and Magic, the city's top scientific and technological institution, he has been bullied.

The mentors who originally introduced them have given up on themselves because of pressure from all sides.

The ridicule and bullying of aristocratic students, the deliberate alienation of ordinary students, and the cold eyes of the professors and teachers of the academy made him, who was originally brought into the academy full of lofty ideals and ambitions, see the cruelty and ruthlessness of reality.

Although, there is still some hope in my heart.

I hope that one day, my inventions and my abilities will be known to the world, recognized by the academy, and recognized by the people in the progressive city of Piltover.

Flowers and applause, he didn't expect these, all he wanted was recognition.

Recognize him as a qualified Hextech inventor.

That's enough.

But his identity, his status as a Noxian spy mongrel, made him feel powerless.

The innate sense of powerlessness that had been engraved with this stigma since birth gradually wore away his original ideals and ambitions.

He also gradually became accustomed to the arrogance and roughness of the aristocratic students, and the contempt and ruthlessness of those who had his status.

His inventions and designs were robbed again and again, and after resisting several times to no avail, he gradually lost the will to resist.

At the very least, giving up resistance would allow him to suffer less flesh and skin.

Every time, when he was on the verge of a psychological breakdown, the innocent smiling faces of his younger siblings in the hope house, and the relieved smile of Eletty's mother after knowing that he had been promoted to the Academy of Science and Magic, were the motivation for him to maintain the last trace of his heart.

Let him at least not forget the reason why he wants to get ahead.

Two days ago, he had devised an invention that would allow him to move up to the mechanic ranks.

In his delight, he was desperate to find that his work in the public laboratory had been seen by Gary Raphael, a nobleman who was famous in the whole city.

As usual, hand over the device you worked so hard to design to the nobles? To avoid flesh and humiliation?

He was not reconciled.

The graduation of the junior course was approaching, and if he couldn't hand in an outstanding graduation project, even if he had reached the level of admission to the intermediate course, he would still be kicked out of the academy.

And this thing in his hand is the one, which can be called an outstanding design.

He carefully carried his device in his arms.

He saw Gary following him all the way, with a relaxed smile on his face, and didn't seem to care about him walking towards the place where the crowd had gathered.

He even had the feeling that Gary was waiting for him, going to the place where the crowd was gathering.

But this time, he didn't want to compromise anymore.

Even if he would be beaten until he couldn't get out of bed for a month, he didn't want to hand over this thing in his arms.

This was his only hope of continuing his studies at the Academy of Science and Magic.

"Look at you like this, do you want me to slap you again?"

When I came back to my senses, I saw the little Lori in front of me with her waist inserted into her waist, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Time is pressing now, and I can't give you time to learn how to ask for help from others." Even if it's free to help you today, when you encounter any problems next time, ask the people around you for help, you know. ”

She, why isn't she afraid of me?

I am the son of a Noxian war stonemason.

If she helps me, she will be ostracized by everyone in the academy just like me!

I am an inferior person who was abandoned by my family and grew up in Zuan.

If you approach me, you'll probably be treated like a bastard like me!

Why isn't she afraid of me?

Lovely appearance, beautiful temperament, although sometimes the tone of speech can become a little strange, but such a girl, even in the upper echelons of Zuan, who is close to Piltover, is also the daughter of a nobleman, and everyone is at the level of beauty.

Such a girl, why, would she want to help someone like me?

When she was beaten by Gary, she was the only one who stood up besides Ezreal.

'We're friends, aren't we?' ’

The faint tone, with a hint of disappointment, lingered in Baker's mind repeatedly.

'Baker, you've always been a little shy, so remember to make more friends when you enter the academy. ’

Mother Eleti.

Is that, friend?

It's mine...... Friend?

Syllable.

The little Lori in front of him slapped her on the head.

"Don't be in a daze, hurry up."

The tone is completely different from the cute appearance.,With a 'oops, it's troublesome' expression on his face.。

Baker felt the slightest warmth welling up in his heart.

On the day his biological mother died, he didn't cry.

The day he left the House of Hope, he didn't cry.

Even when he was bullied by the nobles and was wounded all over his body, he never cried once when he returned to the empty dormitory alone.

But now, just the word "friend" made him feel a little moist in his eyes.

"Damn, don't scare me."

Seeing the tears in Baker's eyes, Wang Hai was directly frightened: "What is a big man's crying, it's not life and death, what is there to cry." ”

Baker wiped away tears.

"Thank you...... Thank you ......."

Baker's current appearance made Wang Hai feel a little embarrassed.

"Wow, making a boy cry, how does it feel more troublesome than making a girl cry."

He scratched his head and comforted, "Don't cry, don't cry." When that's done, when the time comes, you can design a device that will allow me to get a diploma. ”

"Hmm...... ...... by all means."

Ezreal, who had not spoken, sighed and stepped forward to pat Baker on the shoulder: "Your efforts and strength are seen by many students, and they all recognize your ability as an inventor of Hextech technology.

It's just that your father left you this mess, so that they don't dare to touch you, lest they get into trouble. Speaking of spirit, Beck, the Craftsman Conference in a month is the stage for you to prove yourself. You can't beat yourself down before that. ”

"Hmmm......"

As an adult with a mature mind inside, Wang Hai is a little unfamiliar with such a 'warm scene'.

He pursed his lips and said, "Okay, okay, that's the end of the chicken soup time." Ike and Ike when they're together. ”

Xiao Huangmao patted Baker's shoulder again heavily, turned his head and said to Wang Hai: "How to arrange it now, relying on the anesthetic watch in your hand, can we raid the Hope House directly from this main road?" ”

Hearing Ezreal's question, Wang Hai pinched his chin and fell into thought.

After a moment, he looked up, a wicked smile on his face.

"No, I have a better plan."
