Chapter 1: The Mirror Boy
It was the face of a middle-aged man, and his long-term life had brought him endless fatigue and tempering, although he had already achieved fame and held a high position, but the traces brought by the years were still difficult to fade.
Then, this ordinary looking Chinese character face began to melt gradually.
Yes, melt.
The sticky juice slowly dripped down with the knife-and-chisel wrinkles left by the years, and the skin of the flesh cracked before the face could show a frightened expression, revealing the bright red muscle fibers underneath.
The rotting and deteriorating bed bugs began to crawl in and out of the exposed white bones, with the stench of corpses, greedily chewing on the middle-aged man's eyeballs, and a maggot poked out of his vocal cords in a daze, leaving a deep black hole in his throat.
"Ahh!!h
Then, the famous Wendell. Al's middle-aged man, a magician known for his iron fist and skilled necromancy at Hogwarts, utters a somewhat tedious scream that is not new, even a horror movie.
After the very contrived screams, the hearty laughter of the middle-aged man came out.
"Hahahaha, sure enough, Helsin, you have lived up to my expectations, you have already used this level of mental shock, and you can even bounce back the magic while maintaining your own consciousness, and even attach enough illusions to it to hinder the most solid warriors. Of all the students I've ever met, you're the most gifted. Very good, this time the O.W.L (ordinary magician level exam), Defence Against the Dark Arts, you can get an O (excellent, the highest rating you can get in the O.W.L) based on this practical training score alone. After speaking, the middle-aged man who was still immersed in the illusion of his own death and decay just now smashed his mouth dissatisfiedly.
"It's a pity, this is the highest grade I can evaluate, but don't worry about Helsing, although Hogwarts (Chronograph Tower Legacy (VI) Department) still retains this heavy and rotten old rule, I, as an invigilator, still have the right to recommend talents to other departments."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man laughed again and clasped his large hand on the head of a dark-haired boy in front of him.
"Of course, in fact, I don't need to recommend it at all, just with Helsin, most of your O.W.L grades are at the level of O, and there are countless doors open for you to enter that department. How about coming to the sΓ©ance (III) department? I can."
The tower has 12 departments, which are the necessary foundations of the whole (the common knowledge of magic, leylines, and great origins) as I., followed by the individual foundation (II.), the sΓ©ance (III), the ore (IV.), the animal (V.), the inheritance (VI.), the plant (VII.), the celestial bodies (VIII.), the creation (IX.), the curse (X.), the archaeology (XI.), and the modern magic theory (XII.), and the thirteen departments that make up everything in the tower if you count the law and government as the coordinator.
For some reason, the basic (I) department is sometimes mixed with the Inheritance (VI) department as a temporary residence for newcomers who are not yet magicians.
However, even as a newcomer, the boy was still too young.
Wearing a slightly ill-fitting winter school uniform, like a big man, his immature face was full of calm. Under the slightly long black hair, the blue eyes like the sea that are hidden by bangs are as calm as water, as if you can see through the teenager's heart at a glance from there.
Lynn. Helsin. Yug Domirenia, known as a prodigy, has achieved such results, and people will only say on the bright side, "Ah, sure enough, a prodigy should be like this." And secretly envy the Helsin family who once betrayed the Clock Tower (once joined the Yug Dominia family, and chose the Yug Dominomerenia part in the Holy Grail War, although it did not explicitly participate in the war, but it expressed a cold war with the Clock Tower, but because the Helsing family has no clear affiliation with the Clock Tower, after the Holy Grail War, the Helsing family is the best preserved among the Yug Domirenia. At the same time, he urged the juniors to catch up with the footsteps of this genius, at least not to be pulled down by him.
"Wendell. Mr. Al, are you done? β
Tilting his head, the black-haired prodigy asked flatly.
"Haha, okay, okay, I know, you look like you're leaving here now, but you have to wait for me to make a note of this evaluation."
While stretching out his finger and drawing a triangle in the air, he chanted a small mantra in a low voice, and a faint mark appeared on the paper that Lynn brought over as a "test paper".
After making sure that this grade was correct and could be used as his graduation grade, the young Lynn turned away without the slightest nostalgia, as if the middle-aged man who was still hinting at his future just now was just a ball of air.
Everywhere, meaningless.
The middle-aged man frowned.
(Ah, it seems that even if you are a prodigy, you still can't do this kind of incomprehensible personnel.) οΌ
(Although from the perspective of spiritual perception, there is no such arrogant emotion, but this kind of behavior that only responds mechanically to others will definitely cause problems in the future.) οΌ
(simply)
Looking at the young magician who came to school with his parents' expectations, the middle-aged man thought.
(It's a mirror that only reflects other people's thoughts.) οΌ
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The hallway, as always, was full of malicious eyes.
Obviously, he was at least fourteen or fifteen years old to obtain the qualification to take the exam, but because of his talent, he took it and achieved amazing results. But as a prominent person, Lynn must face the doubts of others.
Why was he, a former member of the Clock Tower traitor, able to come back so casually?!
Why does he, this little hairy child, want to be above us?!
Why do we work so hard day and night, but we are always stolen from the limelight by this guy?!
Highlighting is not always a good thing, especially when the person who is prominent is still at odds with people of the same class in all respects.
So, the hostility happened as a matter of course, although Lynn didn't feel how malicious these eyes were at this time, but when he came out of the examination room, he still unconsciously accelerated his pace.
Someone in the crowd let out a wicked laugh: "Hey, look, what's that little guy wearing!" β
Accompanying this laughter is a hidden ray, and the magic trick full of malice sent out in this form does not harm people, but is just an inconsequential prank.
According to the strength of the black-haired boy at this time, this level of magic doesn't even need to be defended, just by turning the magic power around the magic circuit, you can break this evil curse.
However, Lynn didn't do this, he just let the magic shoot at him, and then, in a brilliant mist, his original winter school uniform was twisted by a burst of magic, and turned it into a colorful coat with countless feathers and flowers stuck on it.
The crowd was silent.
And the student who did so had a look of astonishment and disbelief on his face.
Just now, your prank succeeded?
Although there are still many doubts in his mind, it is clear that Lynn's colorful clothes represent that he has been successfully pranked.
The crowd began to have some commotion.
Then, there was the riots. Countless curses were cast like a raging storm towards the thin figure standing in the middle of the hallway.
(Judgment, start.) οΌ
Orange spirals fell, twisting and turning in the air, and a foul-smelling stream of orange juice fell on Lynn's face.
(Aggressiveness, 0; Malice, 35~50; self-damage, 0)
The green mist shrouded the body of the thin figure, with a bitter smell that could not be dispersed for a long time.
(Conclusion no need to dodge)
So, the magician named Lynn, just like that, bearing everyone's malice and dissatisfaction, Shi Shiran walked out of the corridor.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Oh, dear son, what's wrong with you? How did it become so bad? Oh, I see, it must have been a Defence Against the Dark Arts exam, I remember Mrs. Potter said that she had also tested Defence Against the Dark Arts in her Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and I think you must have met such a teacher, dear son. Next time, you must complain like the above, it's just an ordinary exam, why go through such a dangerous thing. β
Walk through the magician's mobile network [Floo Net] built by a fireplace and return to your home. Then, like all students who go home from exams, Lynn, who is only 10 years old, naturally faces his mother's scolding and love.
At only 30 years old, Mrs. Andrea had long family blond hair that hung down like a shining waterfall and was being ravaged in his arms. Like her son, she has a pair of beautiful eyes like blue jewels. Because she is not very old, she still has the same feelings as a girl, and it is her characteristic to always chirp to people close to her, and this is also the biggest characteristic of her childlike innocence.
Although she is a magician's family background, but because of some family changes, she has not been exposed to much correct magic knowledge in exile, and most of her knowledge of the magic world comes from the ladies' gatherings, so she always thinks that the magic world is peaceful, even if there are occasional family disputes, it is also like the nobility of the old society, without losing etiquette and dignity of the "white gloves" activity.
Such a "big-chested" lady will generally be ravaged by countless malicious greed at the first moment of entering the world of magic. But she was very lucky, and it wasn't until she found a man who loved her very much and was willing to join the Helsing family that she came into contact with her family for the first time.
Although, her father, Lynn did not meet her maternal grandfather, Richard. Helsing was killed by the current head of the family, her cousin Ingula Van Bronk Wingate Helsing, but this woman, who always naively thought that the world was beautiful, still smiled and forgave her cousin who bowed to her.
"Allah, resentment or something, I never have oh, my father died for such an aristocratic reason, which can be regarded as fulfilling his long-standing wish. Well, cousin Intergula, is my father properly hung on the wall? β
In the end, this naΓ―ve girl was only worried that her father had not followed the family's ancestral teachings and was deprived of the qualification to hang on the wall because of 'aristocratic rebellion' (self-opinion).
"Mother, I don't have anything."
Saying these things indifferently, Lynn pulled herself out of her mother's tight bosom as if nothing had happenedβor rather, he could do nothing about things that did not threaten his life.
"That's fine."
Reaching out to comb Lynn's black hair, Lady Andrea smiled dotingly.
"My dear son is a very powerful prodigy, and nothing can stump him, even in such an exam. Ah, such a prodigy should be able to be noticed by the upper echelons of the Clock Tower, dear son, you must continue to study hard and not let your grades regress. Remember when you were in the Yugdomirenia family, you received a concentrated education from the whole clan, but you won't lose to anyone. Well, now that I think about it, the attack that blew the whole castle to pieces was really powerful, dear son, can the demon path you take in the future be able to attack like a fort? If it is, it will be able to send out such an attack.,I think about it.,That's right.,It's an A-rank attack on the military treasure level~! β
While saying unrealistic things and fantasizing about her son's future, Madame Andrea showed a trance-like expression.
"My son is the most powerful."
"Yes, Mother."
Shota, who couldn't dodge, blinked his eyes like the strongest sapphire.
"If that's what you're looking forward to."
"Well, then, I'll do what you want."
Just like a human figure wrapped in a mirror, as usual, Shota responded to this expectation.
Bear it down.
And then at some point in the future, with a shining or not shining appearance, respond back.
Although this may not be his own expectations.
