Chapter 57: In Search of a Genius

......

When the Dewey and the others came to a platform in the backyard, they saw an old figure facing away from them by the balcony railing.

Following his gaze, he saw that the entire academy was presented in front of him, and the lake in the central square was sparkling, and the scenery seemed to be very beautiful.

The butler coughed: "Dean, I brought them here." ”

The old man may have had his ears behind his ears, or he was reminiscing about the past, and he didn't react for a long time. The butler had no choice but to repeat it.

The old man finally turned around: "You're all here?"

At first glance, Dewey immediately saw that the dean was too old, he was trembling with a cane, and his thin hands were almost the outline of bones.

Colin hurriedly said, "Dean, I brought Dewey to you." ”

The old man nodded, and a pair of dim eyes immediately fell on Dewey, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Young man, I have been following you, I heard that you have recently risen to sixteenth in the ranking, is this true?"

Dewey couldn't help but correct him: "In fact, I just rose to fifteenth in the ranking. ”

Colin coughed twice, reminding him not to talk too much. Dewey shrugged his shoulders and looked unconcerned.

The old man's dim eyes finally became a little brighter, and he said on crutches: "So, you have defeated Liuli? She is the most willful, and she will never admit defeat to others until she has to." If you can beat her, it means that you are indeed very talented. ”

Dewey was embarrassed for a while, Liuli, the little girl, didn't make a move just now, and directly admitted defeat to herself, which was completely wrong with what the dean said.

Something seemed to change her......

The dean paused and said, "Young man, I want to ask, what is your dream?"

Dewey had already thought of the answer to this question: "I want to become the world's number one magician, and then go to explore the relics of my ancestors, and I must take back all the lost continents." ”

"Haha, your idea is kind of interesting, it seems that I didn't find the wrong person!"

The dean held the magic wand in his hand, and his eyes sparkled with a moving look. He couldn't help but think of his past, when he was younger, he also had this great ideal in mind, and went around expelling magical creatures, and now looking back, it was a bit naΓ―ve. At that time, I seemed to be working against the whole world.

After so many years, I didn't expect to meet a teenager with the same ideals again.

Dewey saw a strange glint in the dean's eyes, and he knew that his preparations had not been in vain.

He knew very well that this dream was impossible to achieve.

The world is so big, and there are all kinds of magical creatures around every corner. If you encounter a few giants or dragons, you will only have to flee for your life. It's a joke to say anything to expel them......

It's just that this is the dean's dream when he was young, and his family has long investigated this clearly.

Dewey seized the opportunity, adding, "Our family has been exploring the ruins of antiquity to achieve this goal. ”

This sentence is very level, and it sounds like that.

In fact, his family's reputation in Grand City is not good, so he has to do everything he can to clear his name. This excuse is said in this situation, which can be described as seamless!

Although the dean was old, he was not as confused as he thought. After hearing this, he just nodded: "Well, none of this is important, the important thing is that we are all human beings." ”

Dewey was secretly funny, isn't this nonsense?

Of course, he didn't dare to say such things to his face.

The dean turned around slowly, returned to the side of the guardrail, looked into the distance and said, "Young man, I am already old, there is no way to wait any longer, I still have a few things to worry about, so I called you." I heard that you passed the ruins test yesterday and also got an S-rank pass to the library, is it true?"

Dewey was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Colin next to him, and saw that the latter was also confused.

There must be some misunderstanding here. I did enter the ancient ruins yesterday, but the last person to pass through the ruins was not me. This is embarrassing, how do you answer the dean's question now?

While thinking about countermeasures, the dean continued: "Those who can crack the Altar of the Wind must have a good ability to control the elements, and I will hand over Linna's relics to you, and there is nothing to worry about." ”

At this moment, Colin next to him said, "I'm sorry, Dean! I did tell you yesterday that Dewey entered the ruins. However, the person who passed through the ruins was not him, it seemed to be someone else. ”

"Is this true?" the dean was stunned for a moment.

In the past few days, they could hear news from Dewey every day. Say who he has defeated today and who he has won tomorrow. Over time, everyone has become accustomed to it, which is why this misunderstanding occurs.

At this time, when he heard that the Altar of the Wind had been cracked by someone else, the dean was a little excited: "In this way, there may be another genius in the academy, who cracked the Altar of the Wind?"

Colin was a little embarrassed and said, "This ...... The specific list has not yet been counted, I heard that there were six of them who entered the ruins at that time, and there were only four passes, so the final result had to wait for them to negotiate it themselves. ”

The dean was silent for a long time: "Then when you have time, tell me their names." ”

Dewey noticed that the situation was not good, so he said next to him: "No need to investigate, I know who they are!"

"Oh, let's hear it!"

Dewey snorted coldly: "These guys have been following us all the time, saving a lot of trouble on the way. Except for Ruri, the others are all members of Class E of the Earth Magic Branch, and I heard that they also brought a lot of coagulation magic potions, as if they wanted to use that thing to crack the Altar of the Wind. ”

"Solidify magic potions?"

The Dean and Colin looked at each other, thinking to themselves that these children were really geniuses, and maybe this thing would really work.

This world is so wonderful, some people who are not strong often take some crooked paths, and often produce miraculous results. To put it bluntly, this kind of behavior is cheating.

I only heard Dewey add fuel and vinegar: "Originally, we were the ones who led the way in front at the beginning, but I don't know why, when we were about to reach the Altar of the Wind, they rushed ahead of us. I guess they must have taken some shortcuts. I haven't figured out the specifics yet, but one thing is for sure, one thing is for sure, there was a girl named Ruri among them, and she seemed to be very familiar with everything about the ruins. ”

The Dean and Colin looked at each other again, "I see! If it was Ruri, it was indeed possible for her to pass through the Altar of the Winds." ”

The implication, of course, is that she cheats.

This little girl is very cute, and she has been doted on by everyone, so it is not surprising that she would do such a thing.

And she's Deng Jersey's niece, so it's certainly easy to get the coagulation magic potion.

Who would have thought that the real cheater was Dewey, who had exhausted all means for a few magic potions. I just didn't expect it, and in the end it failed!

Dewey only used a few words to blame others for what he had done, and he also pretended to be righteous indignant, which made people believe it.

The goal, of course, is to strangle all hidden dangers in the cradle......
