Chapter 116: Forbearance?
Magicians are different from fighters in that their circles are quite small. Especially during the academy period, in addition to making friends with the magicians in the department, most of the only ones are family and the connections brought by the teacher.
Su Ze was born in poverty, so naturally he didn't have any family resources. Fortunately, his teacher is a leader of the new generation of the college, and as soon as the invitation is sent, it is naturally a guest. It's just that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and even within the stable academy, the drama of power struggles and personal enmity is still constant. Even if he is as strong as Alison and is the number one dark tutor in the land of bones, he still has a lot of opponents.
Among them, Samantha is a personal vendetta, and the people of the fire system belong to the power struggle.
Although he knew that the other party was not good, Su Ze had no reason to refuse the other party's congratulations before the other party made a difficulty, and lowered his anger.
After Claudia and the four of them entered, Su Ze waited left and right, and no one came. So he called Eric to pac into the hall, ready to start enjoying the feast.
He made up his mind that as long as the other party didn't cause trouble, he would only treat her as if she was here to eat and drink. I, Su, have always been arrogant, and this bit of eating and drinking is nothing.
When I turned around, I saw Eric's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth, just like the reaction when the two first met and encountered a bullying incident. He only thought that Eric was ashamed at first that he didn't finish what he asked him, but obviously it shouldn't be this expression, and he couldn't help but worry: "What happened?"
Eric shook his head and turned into the hall. Picking up a glass of wine and hiding behind Janet and the others, he sulked secretly, and the monk who saw Su Ze was puzzled.
"Forget it, let's ask later!" With that, Su Ze began to wander around with a glass of juice, except for a walk around Claudia and the others out of politeness, Su Ze basically lingered around Fern and Serena. Of course, it was because of Taria, but also because he had a good impression of Andrea, the little girl who had reminded him at the beginning.
As for the others, Su Ze didn't go to socialize. Although he is the master of this party, other dark people will also help share some communication tasks, after all, they are all from the magic department, and they can be regarded as their own people.
This kind of gathering is not an elaborate part, but just a way for the younger generation of various departments to get to know each other and expand their network. Therefore, in addition to the need for the protagonist to get to know everyone once, everyone else has their own acquaintances to chat with, and they will not seem lonely. Even the four of Claudia were accompanied by Timothy of the Light Department, and they were quite compatible.
Su Ze just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it, only to see Serena smile gently, and said softly: "A few years ago, I was still worried about how to get along with him if there was an extra junior, after all, that person is a famous thorn, and it will definitely be difficult to get along." At the same time, I wondered who had such a big face to make the teacher make an exception to accept people from other magic departments. I didn't expect it to be Lord Allison!"
Su Ze was stunned when he heard this, it seemed that he was talking about himself. He just knew that Alison and Mia had a good personal relationship, but he didn't know that he also had a favor with Tutor Krystle, so he was curious: "Why did Senior Sister say that? When the teacher handed me the list, he didn't specifically mention Lord Krystal, could it be that there is some reason for this?"
Serena smiled slightly, but saw Talia raise her hand like a Meng Tong answering a gentleman's question and said, "I know this." At that time, it was Lord Allison who came forward to hope that Lord Cristal would accept the senior as a disciple. Because we all know that the senior is an unserious magician, although he cultivates in the magic academy, he is good at fighting spirit and swordsmanship. It just so happens that Senior Sister Selina is also a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, and she is also superb in swordsmanship, so Lord Alison will have such a plan. β
Everyone laughed when they heard this, Su Ze lightly tapped Taria's smooth forehead, and reprimanded: "What is a serious magician, why is Serena a demon and martial arts double cultivator, and I am not serious!
At the same time, she looked at Serena with unexpected eyes, but she didn't expect that this soft and weak senior sister was still a fighter, and she was really a real person, but her secret method of breathing was too profound, and Su Ze couldn't perceive her rank.
Talia snorted and replied, "I knew, and I knew that if it was magic alone, you might not be enough for me to fight!"
Su Ze's tone was stopped, this is true. In addition to his two-handed talisman and undead summoning skills, where would he be the opponent of an orthodox third-level earth magician.
"It's really a demon!" Su Ze muttered in a low voice, secretly sighing that the cultivation speed of the people around him was very fast, on the other hand, his spiritual power had only increased by 140 points in the past three years since the battle to capture the tower, and now it was only the upper limit of 956 points of spiritual power.
"Talia said with a smile, don't take it to heart. Whether it is a fighter or a magician, identity is not important, only strength will be recognized. It is precisely because the junior is strong and talented enough that Master Allison will cut off his beard!" Fern hurriedly laughed, and then glared at Talia, signaling her not to talk nonsense, after all, they are here to make friends with the Dark Nova, not to offend people.
Su Ze naturally knew the reason, but it was inconvenient to say more. He smiled: "Don't get in the way, I've long been used to this girl's sharp teeth." β
Serena and Fern remembered that Talia had told them about their relationship, so they stopped supervising Taria's words and actions, leaving her to be presumptuous.
"Senior sister, didn't you say that the fire, light, and darkness systems are not in harmony, and Samantha and Lord Allison are still mortal enemies, why do they still want to come!"
Serena threw a reproachful look, blaming her for talking too much and talking indiscriminately. But seeing that Su Ze was full of interest and listened attentively, she said gently: "It's understandable that Timothy is here, because he is about to break through the fifth level, but Su Ze, you are only the fourth intermediate level." Last time, Lord Allison took that step ahead of time and crushed Lord Samantha. Timothy is the highest level of her spiritual power and the youngest disciple, so she must have come to take revenge. β
So that's the case, Su Ze and Talia glanced at each other, and thought at the same time: "This is too naΓ―ve, isn't it better to compare the two at all!"
"As for Claudia......," Serena said with some hesitation.
"As for Claudia, of course it's not a good one. You haven't been in the academy for a long time, and there are some things that only those of us who have been in the academy for nearly a hundred years will know, according to our former seniors, that is, the current mentors, who occasionally mentioned that the fire department and the light department intended to challenge the position of the dark department in the buried bones, so they fought-for-tat in all aspects. This kind of traditional gathering is the perfect occasion.
However, this situation has not happened since we entered the academy, but I have heard that it was a major change that caused the decline of the fire department, and even the former head of the department has fallen, so it is no longer able to compete with the dark department. Serena is unspeakable because except for our local department, which is not close to the fire department because of the teacher's friendship with Lord Alison, the other three departments have always been in the same spirit. β
In order to avoid Serena's embarrassment, Fern, who was familiar with the inside story, took her words and explained to Su Ze and the others. Only then did Su Ze understand that this was the case. And both of them are actually fifth-level magicians, he always thought that the academy's apprentice instructor could take the exam when he was at the fourth level, but then he heard that Fern inadvertently revealed his age and realized that he was only qualified to be a fifth-level magician.
Then I heard Fern continue: "According to the current situation of the fire system, now that they are uninvited, it is not very likely that they will find fault. β
Su Ze couldn't figure out the other party's thoughts, so he had to take one step at a time.
"But the other day, I heard that the use of Lab 3 in the Lakeheart Mage Tower was forcibly handed over, maybe it has something to do with it!" Fern guessed softly. Even though he knew that no one would use his mental power to monitor everyone's conversation, he tried to keep his voice down.
"What?" Suzer couldn't figure out Fern's intentions.
"Hmm...... The previous user is said to have been Eric Harold, and his successor is Claudia. β
As Talia said, Su Ze is not a serious magician, so he doesn't know that Laboratory 3 is the best laboratory that can be used by low-level students in the entire Buried Bones Land.
Generally, the rental period of Laboratory 3 is more than one month, less than three years, and more than four months needs to be approved by at least one college supervisor.
And Eric took Alison's warrant and rented it for a year, after all, in addition to the fact that the experiment explained by Alison was tricky and took time, he wanted to use the instrument inside to extract the first four sequence runes in the spirit gathering spell rune by the way, and see if it could improve the utility and simplify it to the level of a fourth-level magic spell.
It's just that halfway through it, time is gone. Then he went to renew the lease, because the previous relationship with Alison's warrant was not blocked, and Eric successfully rented it for another five months.
It's just that when the fee has already been paid, Claudia shows up and threatens to rent Lab 3 for three years. Naturally, Eric refused to do so for such a long time, so he appealed to the trainee mentor who was in charge of the public laboratory. At this time, the apprentice instructor from the fire department actually favored Claudia, saying that Eric's warrant was invalid and the lease was invalid, and ordered Eric to hand over the permission card.
Eric's theoretical research can naturally beat everyone, including the fire trainee instructor, but in terms of actual combat ability, he can only be beaten by everyone, so even if he is not angry, he has to honestly hand over the permission card and leave in the ridicule of everyone.
And after the Laurie incident ended a year ago, Su Ze rarely stayed in the academy, and took advantage of the unfinished vacation to stay in Repulse Bay to cultivate, occasionally guiding Eli. Eric was banned by Alison earlier, and he didn't bother his teacher because he knew that his teacher was in a very bad mood, so although this matter was widely spread in the academy, Su Ze didn't know anything about it.
Talia is cheerful and well-traveled, and because she is Mia's youngest disciple, she is quite well-informed. took the opportunity to pick up the words of his senior, and told Su Ze, who knew nothing, the whole thing word for word.
After listening to this, Su Ze figured out why Eric's face turned blue after seeing Claudia, and why Claudia was unprovoked and arrogant. It turned out that he had already smashed the field, but now he is just here to show off his might.
Thinking of this, Su Ze was in a bad mood, angry, glaring at each other viciously, and wanted to beat a few people hard. Claudia felt something, looked over, and showed a smug smile, and Timothy on the side just smiled, as if she was watching a good show.
Although Eric has been hiding in the corner and not making a sound, his attention is always on Claudia, seeing this, he turned his eyes to Su Ze, frowned and shook his head, signaling him not to be impulsive.
"Mom, do you have to endure this?" Su Ze scolded, extremely angry.
