Chapter 21: Chloe
Whether it's exciting or dull, time is still moving forward unhurriedly, and two weeks have passed since the start of school.
After the initial excitement, uneasiness, hesitation, and novelty, the new students quickly integrated into the school, and everything was the same as in previous years. However, there is also a slightly different voice - for the newly formed "Class VII".
It has always been a tradition for Tolz to divide the nobles and commoners, and it is not surprising that Class VII, which breaks the rules and does not distinguish between statuses, will be subject to all kinds of discussion.
The aristocratic class regarded it as a ragtag army and dismissed it with disdain. Civilian classes are divided, with some seeing it as a pilot for change and others as a farce.
The seventh class in the focus is not self-conscious, everything is as usual.
The bell at the end of class is always a favorite among students, and even more so when it comes to the last class before the break, even though the official name is not a rest day but a free day.
"Stand and salute." The end of the class ceremony was carried out by the deputy class president, Macchias. Correspondingly, the class ceremony is in charge of Emma, the class leader.
"Ha~" Elliot slumped in his chair and didn't want to get up, "I didn't expect that not only martial arts training, but also the difficulty of ordinary courses is so high, and everyone is so smart." ”
"Who called both civil and military affairs a fine tradition of the empire." Lane patted Elliot on the shoulder sympathetically.
"I also have to work hard so as not to fall behind." Elliot quickly picked himself up and began to clean up his desk, "Anyway, the members of our class are really quite individual. ”
In the classroom, Faye leaned against the window and dozed off; Laura meticulously asks Emma for questions; Gaius and Alyssa had already gone to their respective societies first.
"However, there are still some problems." Rien looked down the hallway, and Macchias and Jusis passed by, snorting in unison, as if the air had become heavy.
"Ahaha." Elliot chuckled dryly.
"By the way, how prepared are you for next Wednesday's practical test."
"Hmm!" Elliot, who had been poked in the sore spot, collapsed on the table again, holding his head in agony.
"Uh, do you want me to accompany you for a special training? The training ground should still be empty. ”
"Honestly saved." Elliot had a healed look on his face.
"Lane, remember to be merciful." Laura walks past Elliot's desk and leaves a reminder.
"What's going on?" Elliot had a hint of foreboding in his heart, and asked subconsciously.
"At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I helped Laura's friends do special training." Li En touched his nose and said with some embarrassment, "It seems to be too ruthless, although the effect is good." ”
"Eh~~~~~~~~~~" Eliot's mournful cry resounded through the classroom
At the fork in the road to the student hall, Lane hung his head.
"Sure enough, I still can't escape the fate of the student union's chores? In my previous life, I worked in the student union, and it is the same in this life. ”
After class, Instructor Sarah asked him to go to the student union to get something, how could he, who is familiar with the plot, not know what is going on? I guess that's what the instructor thinks in his heart, anyway, you're a B-level guerrilla, and this little thing is a piece of cake for you.
"It seems that the result is the same whether I join the cooking club or not. Well, if it comes, it will be safe. ”
Just as Lane was picking himself up and preparing to enter the student hall, a somewhat flirtatious voice called out to him.
"Yo, junior!" The person who stopped Li En was a handsome young man, carrying a brown rucksack, his white messy hair was a little disheveled due to neglect, his green school uniform was open at will, and his neckline was loosened with two buttons, looking very casual, looking all over his body, only the headscarf on his forehead was quite regular.
"Huh?" Dawn showed a hint of doubt at the right time, but silently called out the name of the person in front of him in his heart - Chloe Ambst, a future friend and rival, and a person whose trajectory is entangled.
"It's hard work." Chloe greeted herself, "It's been half a month since I entered school, how is the situation?" ”
"Well, it's okay, it's not too hard. Maybe you'll be a little tired after the training session starts. ”
"Haha, you know the situation very well. You, in particular, seem to have all sorts of things piled up - well, just relax. "There's really no shadow at all about Chloe now.
"I haven't asked for the name of the dean yet."
"Oops, oops, don't be in such a hurry." A hint of cunning flashed in Chloe's eyes, "Just as a souvenir of the acquaintance, I'll show you an interesting magic trick first." By the way, can you lend me 50 mila coins? ”
"Yes, you can." Rien pulled a coin out of his pocket, and he had been keeping a few coins on his body since he entered school, just waiting for this day.
"So—look closely." Chloe put his bag in front of him, flicked the coin up with his left hand, and when the coin was at eye level, his hands quickly reached out, and then made a fist, "The question is, which side of the right hand or left hand has the coin?" ”
Although Chloe's movements were fast, he did not hide from Rien, who was paying attention. After all, as long as you know the trick, it's easy to see through.
It's just that Lane didn't say the correct answer, but replied pretending to be puzzled: "Left hand." ”
"Unfortunately, I guessed wrong." The left hand is spread out, and the palm of the hand is empty.
"I admit defeat, and I was quite confident in dynamic vision." Dawn sighed deliberately, "Wait, what does the so-called magic mean"
"That's it." Crowe spread out his right hand, still nothing, "Hmph, you just keep the status quo and continue to work hard, if it's you, you will definitely be able to survive Sarah's training." Then have a great weekend. ”
With that, Chloe lifted his backpack and strode away.
"I didn't even say my name, and I deceived my 50 meters away, and Chloe Ambst was my words? It seems that I got some of my information from Erzhu, which is a little interesting. ”
What does the future hold? I don't want you to die like that. ”
Walking out of the school gate, Chloe took out the coin from his backpack, smiled slightly, and said to himself:
"That's the guy Vita told me to be careful, one of the guerrillas who solved Liber's mutation? It's not good. ”
He clasped the coin with his thumb and forefinger and aimed it at the setting sun. The afterglow is scattered, and the edge of the coin glistens, along with the raised number "50".
The brilliance was like a mixture of gray and pale hues.
Gray and blue, because of 50 meters of pull, this cause and effect has not been changed by the butterfly that crosses, and I don't want to change
The Student Hall, as the name suggests, is a facility where students gather, located on the east side of the academic building. On the first floor, there is a restaurant and a commissary, on the second floor is an activity room for various literary and artistic clubs, and on the third floor is a salon for aristocratic students.
The student council, which has great autonomy on campus, is located in the innermost room on the second floor of the hall.
"yes, hey, it's been 2 weeks, welcome to the student union room, Dawn Schwarzer." The petite girl who greeted the new students at the school gate greeted Lane with the same smile she had then, "I am the student president of this college, and my name is Tova Herschel. Please advise, Mr. Lai. ”
"This is the case, please advise." At this moment, he seemed to realize that perhaps it was this pure and cheerful smile that infected the teachers and students of the school. However, it feels a little delicate for such a girl who looks younger than me to be the president.
"If you have any troubles, or have something to discuss, come to our student union."
"Okay."
Picking up nine student manuals from Tova, her big eyes stared at Rien unblinking.
"Lane, it's really admirable that you're in the first grade. I've heard from Instructor Sarah that you're going to help our student council with the unfinished work, which is a great favor. ”
"I just want to do what I can, it's not a big deal." Sure enough, it was calculated, but seeing this smile that was somewhat similar to Yani's, I couldn't bear to refuse, "If there's anything I can do, please just ask." ”
"Thank you so much." Tova's eyes, twinkling with little stars
The moment he left the school gate, a long-lost agitation spread from the heart to the whole body, ancient and desolate.
Li En turned to look at the old school building that had stood for more than 200 years, and an inexplicable smile crossed the corner of his mouth. It's finally begun, my own "Initiator" trial
There was a space of thirty centimeters under the school building, and there was a flash of greenery, and the consciousness that had been dormant for more than two hundred years finally showed signs of revival
On the campus wall, a black cat with pure coat stared at the black-haired boy, the blue bow on his tail swaying in the wind.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Now, Yani, I met a girl who looks like you, and she's as cute as you."
"I know you're going to have this reaction, Remnant, it's not the same type as your good friend Aeolia."
"If you want to hug it, let's end the special training as soon as possible."
"Yes, that's the momentum, come on! Remember to take me to say hello to the teacher. ”
"Like you, Yani."
