Chapter 32: The Choice of Path
"The world has treated me with a hideous face, and I will repay the world with hideousness!"
- Lears
β¦β¦
"Teacher!"
A figure with a faint breath appeared from the edge of the forest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as Lells and the others arrived here, they saw the black-robed figure engulfed by the dragon's breath. Lells's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but shout.
The black-robed teacher is the first person.
The first person to say such things to him.
"Stay alive and wait for me to come back!"
Even though he had committed a terrible sin, that person still used his own blood to complete the summoning array in advance in order to save him. Therefore, he was lucky enough to stay alive.
β¦β¦
"Lells, if you don't study magic hard, you'll truly become a tiny piece of gravel and be swallowed up by the world."
"Only by becoming strong can you have a place in this world."
"Lells, do you want to become what they call a declining aristocracy?"
"Decline means extinction at any time!"
So, I'm going to learn magic.
I'm unwilling! and the declining family, together with the obliteration of history.
β¦β¦
"Lells, you declining dog, you don't have a long memory?"
"Hahaha! Sooner or later, you and your family will be finished! β
The teenagers laughed and gathered around a boy.
They flirted with a civilian girl, and he dared to get in the way? Now that the girl has run away, let's replace him with him!
The boy was covered in dirt, and the dirty dust encroached on the little boy's vaguely white face.
He was surrounded in the middle, with nothing but confusion and numbness in his eyes.
Today, how long will it be? Violence.
A group of teenagers rubbed their fists and approached.
"Bang, bang..."
Soon, the sound of physical violence was incessant, and the boy's thin body was ravaged by seven or eight pairs of fists and feet.
The boy's expression did not appear in pain, as if he was accustomed to it, he silently lowered his head and looked at his body that was fisted and kicked.
"It's boring, this guy has been scared silly for a long time."
"yes, it's boring, let's go, go somewhere else to have fun~"
Everyone left, leaving only the boy hunched and cowered in place.
The boy looked at the sky numbly, then stood up, patted the dust, and staggered home.
"Ahh Today, will you be scolded? β
The boy touched his torn and dirty clothes. There was a flash of pain and hope in his eyes, as if something more terrible would happen.
That glimmer of hope is just the most extravagant wish.
He understands:
Going home is more painful than beating.
β¦β¦
In the blue sky, in the corner of Ino City, there is a spacious house.
It looks big, but it's broken.
The dirty boy pushed the door open.
What catches your eye is a mess of tables, chairs, and wine bottles.
The father drank again.
When my father was drunk, he never beat or scolded. But it was full of negativity, his eyes were full of decadence, and he sat on the edge of his chair in a decadence.
Countless evenings, the boy came home to see such a father.
Maybe... This scene is even more painful than being beaten and scolded.
β¦β¦
"I'm back..."
"Lells, you're back, let's eat, mom is cooking."
A middle-aged woman sits by the window with a soft smile.
"Lells, why don't you eat, the meal my mother cooked today is delicious."
"Come on, eat it, Mom made it herself."
ββ¦β¦β
The boy sat down silently and sat down at the table in the hall. On the table, there were only remnants of wood chips and dust, and there was no food.
But the smile on her mother's face is very beautiful, and the wrinkles of vicissitudes reveal a vague beauty.
"Lells, you're back, let's eat, mom is cooking."
"Come on, eat it, Mom made it herself."
The boy hung his head in disappointment and looked blankly at the table.
"Today, I haven't been scolded by my mother again..."
He wants to be scolded; He wants to be preached.
Want... By a mother who has been demented!
The boy had delusions countless times.
β¦β¦
"Lells! Why are you fighting again today? Look at your clothes! Didn't I teach you aristocratic etiquette many times? β
"Do you want to be like your father? You're sure to surpass his achievements! β
The mother frowned, stood in front of her bitterly, and kept preaching.
Father touched the back of his head and sat aside with a wry smile.
β¦β¦
However, delusions are delusions after all.
Mother sat by the window, still repeating the words of dementia.
But these short words are full of tenderness and warmth.
"Lells, you're back, let's eat, mom is cooking."
"Come on, eat it, Mom made it herself."
ββ¦β¦β
After a long time, the boy looked up at his smiling mother.
"Mom, I want to eat... I'm in pain. β
The corners of the immature eyes left two lines of tears.
The boy had despaired countless times, and every time the hope that rose in his heart was shattered by reason.
In this world, he did not see any hope.
But, not long ago, a stranger approached him and told him:
"You have a great talent for magic, kid, learn magic from me."
This sentence ignited hope in the boy's heart.
Maybe I can get stronger, maybe I can stop being ridiculed, maybe... I can save my parents!
Because in this world: magic, mysterious, omnipotent!
The boy wiped the tears from his eyes and sat quietly at the table, his immature face with a little hideous: he would become the strongest man, and then look down on the world with his father and mother, who had returned to their usual appearance.
The world treats him with a hideous face, and he will repay the world with hideousness!
β¦β¦
ββββββββββββββββββ
"Lells, didn't I tell you to stay where you are and wait for me to come back?" A familiar hoarse voice wafted out.
Lells's body shook, and he looked not far behind the bone dragon, it was the black-robed lecturer!
Not only did he avoid the dragon's breath, but he was actually facing him at this time, tilting his head to speak.
"Damn, just humans, dare to underestimate me!" The bone dragon Lukakin was furious.
"Hmph, the dirty thing, he actually treats him as an ordinary human being, it is better to dig out the soul fire immediately and bury it on the spot!"
In sight, her hair was long and fluttering, and a blonde Lori stood on the treetops at some point, letting out a cold sneer.
"Who! Adversity...? The bone dragon was furious, and when he turned his gaze to An Luoli, his pupils shrank, if there were pupils.
"Source, purify it."
Woo, you can say such horrible words without changing your face... It's going to be Ann Lorry.
"Excellent! is just a child, and he dares to speak! The bone dragon laughed angrily.
Lukakin was furious, and today, he was scorned twice in a row.
'Dark Magicγ»Nightbinding'
Under the clear sun, the sky glows with translucent blue, changing color in an instant, and is stained with darkness.
Countless shadow tentacles swiftly grasped at everyone present.
Yuan frowned, and swung the Sky Splitting Sword, easily erasing the shadow, as if it had not existed in the first place.
But Lells and the others, no matter how they unleashed their magic, couldn't neutralize the shadow tentacles.
'Dark Magicγ»Shadow Burst (Chain)'
The shadow that stretched out to the crowd suddenly became agitated when it was about to touch its side.
The source of the dark path is not good, and the figure immediately flashed.
"Bang!"
A huge explosion rang out, sending the forest flying.
"Ahem..."
Lells, Rand and the others sat on the ground with a disgraced face, and it was easy to recover.
But the next moment, they noticed the person who stood in front of them.
The black robe was tattered, and the black robe that usually wrapped the whole body tightly had all disappeared from the lower legs, and the front part of the body had been rotten.
Even the wizard's hat, which had always been worn on his head to cover his face, was shattered, and only the tattered stand-up collar remained.
Wait, wait, the wizard's hat is shattered? The teacher's...
Lells felt that the curiosity in his heart at this time had overcome the crisis...!
It's, it's all because the teacher usually wears a black robe and a wizard's hat, and never lifts it.
Not only him, but all the students knew that there was a mysterious black-robed monster old man in the academy who had never shown his true face.
Many students tried to get the black-robed lecturer to show his true face, but they all failed.
A lot of people are curious.
People are like this, the more mysterious things are, the more they want to get to the bottom of it.
But now is the real big crisis! Not the time to think about such a thing!
"Teacher..."
Lears shook his head, the man in front of him blocked the explosion for them, the power of the explosion was obvious to all, and the teacher must have been injured.
However, the concern that sounded out was completely blocked in the throat before it could be spoken.
The smoke cleared, and Lells and the others looked at the black-robed man's face in amazement.
The breeze was blowing, the black hair was fluttering, but the gray face was unwavering, and the immature face had an understatement look attached to it, looking directly at the bone dragon.
Who is this man! Too young... Peers?
