Chapter 11: Winnie-Roslan
My name is Winnie Lothland, and I live with my only sister, Anne Lothland. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When I was six years old, my parents were out delivering goods when they were caught up in a battle between two powerful spellcasters and were killed instantly.
The only thing they had left was a spell shop that sold cheap spell supplies.
And this has become the most important source of life for Anne and me.
However, it is not easy for us to run a good store at a young age.
However, thanks to the help of the neighbors, we can barely make ends meet.
……
By the time I was ten years old, something happened that changed the course of my entire life.
I, an ordinary girl whose parents are ordinary people, has been tested to have a talent for spells!
Even though it's just the most ordinary crescent-level talent, the day I learned the news, I still had insomnia unexpectedly.
After all, I come into contact with all kinds of spell materials every day, and of course I am full of yearning for magical spells.
However, my parents, who loved me the most, died at the hands of the Spellcaster...... Don't...... Am I going to be this kind of person who is on top and disregards the lives of others?
Sure enough, forget it, it's not bad to live a dull life with Anne like this......
……
For the rest of the day, as if nothing had happened, Anne went to work at home while I went to elementary school five days a week.
By the way, in order to support this stormy little family, Anne, who was originally talented, did not continue her studies after graduating from elementary college.
But when I also offered to drop out of school to help, she would get so angry that she would hide in her room and not even cook dinner......
I'm not cooking a delicious dinner for her! It's just that...... It's just that I don't want her to be sad, so ...... In the end, I obediently continued to go to school......
Until...... The day I was twelve.
It was the summer vacation after graduating from elementary school, and I thought that I would start working hard for this little family like Anne in the future.
But she suddenly came up with a piece of news that I couldn't believe......
……
"Medium Spell Academy?!"
"I've already paid your tuition, and after the summer is over, you're going to report to the National No. 3 Middle Spell Academy!"
It was the first time I heard Anne's undeniable tone, and I was a little afraid in my heart, so I only asked in a low voice, "Why, obviously Mom and Dad ......?"
"Stop fooling yourself with such excuses!" She shouted loudly, holding my head with her hands and staring straight at me with her eyes, "Now, Winnie, I want you to tell me the truth, you...... Do you want to be a spellcaster? ”
Hearing her question, I couldn't answer it for a while, and the bits and pieces of my previous life flashed in my mind......
The first time I saw the Spellcaster, I felt that kind of reverence.
The first time I came into contact with spell materials, I treasured a handful of the cheapest stardust grass for a month.
First ......
First ......
I have countless firsts and countless fond memories of spells, except for ...... My parents' departure......
But there's no doubt that I'm passionate about spells, and I want to be a spellcaster!
Or, among all ordinary people, who wouldn't want to be a spellcaster?
However...... I'm only a crescent-level talent, can I really master these wonderful spells?
……
"Of course you can, I've inquired, as long as it's not a waning moon-level talent, it is possible to become a great spell envoy...... Winnie, you have to believe in yourself. ”
When I asked about my doubts, Anne answered me like this.
However, there is one most realistic question in front of us, and after hesitating for a long time, I still asked it.
"The tuition fee of the Spell Academy is very expensive, and you will need to use spell materials in the future......
Before I could finish, she gently sealed my lips with her fingers.
"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, just leave it to your sister...... Actually, I've been trying to save money ever since I learned about your talent. ”
The indescribable sourness instantly hit my tear ducts, and my tears began to fall uncontrollably.
No matter how many tears I had, it was difficult to vent the emotions in my heart, and I couldn't help but hug Anne tightly and cry loudly in her arms while shouting her name non-stop......
……
Summer flashed by, and I became a student at the Medium Spells Academy.
Strictly speaking, nothing has changed in our lives.
Anne still works at the grocery store, and I help out in my free time from school, but most of the time she chases me away to review the spell lessons I've learned......
……
And just like that, another three years passed......
Thanks to God, perhaps because I went to the Spell Academy, many teachers and students began to come to my shop to buy materials.
Although Anne will reduce the price slightly every time, but on the whole, she has a lot more income than before, and she doesn't have to work so hard to find some odd jobs outside to subsidize the family.
For the first time, I felt that spells brought me luck and made everything better and better......
……
In the past three years, Anne has never asked me about my grades, and I have even taken the initiative to report to her every time.
But after listening to it, she would always say something like, 'My Winnie is the most reassuring,' and 'My sister doesn't understand the matter of spells,
It's good for you to grasp it yourself', and so on.
Although I enjoy the feeling of trust in my heart, I also seem to be cared for more by her......
……
The end result was also very good, when I graduated from the secondary college, I reached the fourth level of spells, and with excellent written grades, I was admitted to one of the best colleges in the royal capital, the Morville Higher Spell Academy, and received a large spell subsidy.
……
However, after entering the higher education, I was a little bit struck down.
Obviously, it is the most common crescent moon talent, but in the academy, there are mostly string moon and full moon talents, and there are even many people with full moon talents...... Not to mention that there are also some geniuses with special talents......
But I am also proud of the fact that I am very proficient in the subject of spell technology, and I can stay in the top five of my grade in every exam, which is why I receive a high subsidy.
…… However, no matter how proficient the written course is, it cannot hide the weakness in actual combat.
After every practical class, I inevitably got hurt.
In order not to worry Anne, I would use the cosmetics I had secretly saved up to cover up the scars after being treated with low-level spells.
On one occasion, though, I didn't protect my face and left a fist-sized red mark on my left cheek, which, despite my best efforts to cover it up, pulled the wound during the meal, which Anne saw as unusual......
That night, she hugged me to sleep again after many years, but for some reason, the pillow kept being wet and I couldn't sleep......
……
Just over a week later, Anne suddenly said to me, "Winnie, summon a demon." ”
Summoning a demon? I've never thought of anything like that.
For those students of the enchantering families and nobles in the academy, it is not uncommon for them to summon eight times out of ten, but in a commoner family like mine, the cost of one summon alone is enough for the two of us sisters to live for a year.
Moreover, the success rate of summoning demons is not high, and even people with full moon talents may not be able to summon demons every time, let alone summon powerful demons......
The facts are so abundant that I can't think of a reason to do the calling.
However, after listening to my account, Anne just said, "If you don't work once, you can do it twice, and if you don't work twice, you can do it three times, and that's what my sister can do for you......"
Seeing her look of 'I'll cry to you if you don't agree', I can't refuse, and more importantly, she didn't even notify me and purchased the materials for the summoning......
And so, on a full moon night, I, Winnie-Roslan, made my first summoning of demons......
