Chapter 8: The Clock Tower
Clock Tower in London, England
It is the highest institution of magicians with titles such as the Magicians' Organization, which has the same history as the United Kingdom, the Magician Association, which leads the world's magicians, and the head of the three major magic schools. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The mysteries of magic are not something that can be accomplished in one generation, but is passed down from generation to generation, and the number of circuits and the density of engravings are constantly accumulating. As a result, many of the students who have been awarded scholarships at Clock Tower have been from prestigious families for more than six generations.
The excellent education of the famous family makes the college full of an "aristocratic" and "serious" atmosphere.
"Fu! Do you know what you're talking about, you idiot? ”
At the top floor of the school building, where a group of students who study hard for the sake of ambition and etiquette gather, a voice is heard that does not match the solemn image of the clock tower.
"You're a (beep)! Why don't you go and stuff it into it, so you can probably get there! ”
Constantly scolding the need to silence the sentence was a man in his thirties with long hair, wearing a red coat with yellow shoulder straps hanging from it, his face was angry, and he was complaining about something to a young man in front of him.
In the face of the angry professor, the young man did not bow his head and said, "Professor! I want to participate in the Holy Grail War of the Far East Fuyuki no matter what! ”
"Fu (beep-)!" The man who was called the professor looked helpless: "That's not something that a student like you needs to take care of!" The Magic Association has sent out an excellent master! Really...... Where the hell did you hear about that? ”
The man in red was none other than the professor of the clock tower, known as "Rhodes Almeloy II". However, it is said that this is not his real name, but only a title that he inherited after the death of Kenes, the original holder of the Ermelo title, because he did a great deal of power to revive the Ermelo school.
Despite his young age, he is known as the best teacher of the clock, and his teaching skills are outstanding, and he is almost unmatched in discovering and honing the talents that others have buried. Just gathering his students would be enough to change the power map of the Clock Tower.
Several magicians have paid homage to him, giving him various nicknames - "Elite Professor", "MasterV", "Star of London", "Absolute Realm Magician", and many more. And even he himself didn't know that countless girls in the academy regarded him as a prey and wanted to turn him into the RBQ of the academy...... Elmeloy II was roughly such a bad man.
However, he also felt very tricky in the face of the student in front of him, not because this young man had no talent, on the contrary, his talent was quite amazing.
Upon hearing the professor ask how he found out, the young man immediately replied with excitement.
"A few days ago, I happened to see you and the leaders of the association of Minister Bram of the Science Department of the Descendant Sect, the head of the Belfeiban section of the Puppet Section, and a woman in a suit went to the underground lecture hall, so I followed, and I heard it at that time."
Listening to the young man's words, Elmelo II's face deteriorated, and he struck an iron claw at his student's face, and then gritted his teeth word by word: "Why? There's a lot of enchantments there! ”
The underground lecture hall is often used for confidential meetings with students or for negotiations with the Templar Church, and is laid with a barrier as tight as the security of a Swiss bank vault.
The young man who was caught in the face by the teacher also looked away apologetically and replied softly, "That...... I was a little curious, so I hacked the room, and then I used sound teleportation magic on you, and I heard it all in the next room. ”
The young man's name was Frath Escaldes, a family of magicians from the Mediterranean. As the eldest son of the family, he has far more magic circuits and control skills than his predecessors, and he is highly anticipated to enter the clock tower for further training.
As a magician, he does have an unparalleled talent. But he has never graduated since he entered school as a teenager.
As mentioned above, it wasn't that he couldn't graduate because of his poor magic ability, but -- except for the magic part, Flatt was a complete fool.
Even all the professors were so bitter after a short period of teaching that they had to entrust him to Elmeloy II, who, after a few years, became the longest-serving and most talented student of Elmeloy II.
This "talented fool" - Flat. Now he is one of the people that Elmeloy II wants to hide from.
Anger was almost at a critical level, and Elmelo II seemed to have achieved the conditions that things must be reversed, and suddenly regained his composure like an enlightened Buddha, and he exhorted Flatt with a heavy tone.
"Alas...... I didn't think I heard what I said, the Holy Grail War is not as simple as you think. I don't think you have anything that you need to achieve with the Holy Grail (because you're a fool), give up, as long as you don't make trouble and take two more courses in peace, you can graduate. ”
However, to his surprise, Vlatt shook his head and refused: "No! I want to take a look. ”
"What?"
"I just want to see - I want to know what the Holy Grail is all magicians dream of! I want to meet other magicians and heroes from time immemorial! If I can, I want to make friends with them, and if I can do it, maybe I can conquer the world and fight to the end of the sea of stars! ”
The more he talked, the more excited Flatt became, and even waved his hands and feet. He did not notice that Elmelo II had fallen into complete silence and stood still.
- Recalling the past, in the Far East, he had heard a fool utter such a bold statement with a broken gong voice that he did not know what politeness was.
Such absurd and nostalgic words...... Ten years ago, it became a part of his soul and engraved in his heart.
No matter how famous Almeloy II was, he would never forget that he was Weber Velvet – that man...... of his subordinates.
No matter how much time passed, he could not break the oath he had made with the king; Even if he was so old that he couldn't even remember his name, he couldn't forget the king's words......
A few minutes -
It wasn't until the cheerfully departed student was nowhere to be seen that Elmelo II walked over to a window in the room, which had been sealed off physically and magically, carefully unlocked the lock, and gently picked up the contents with his hands.
It was a red rag, old enough to rot and look of no use—but it was worth more to El Meloy II than anything else in the world.
"Really, a young man who is almost 20 years old would say such stupid things. Like you, he said he wanted to get to know the other Servants......"
Remembering what Flatt had just said, he looked at the cloth with a gaze similar to nostalgia, as if he was talking to himself, as if he was confiding in someone.
“…… Is this the so-called childlike innocence? There are really too many romantic dreams of such rituals as the Holy Grail War. ”
His mind went back in time, and the figure of the strong man from ten years ago came to mind, and Elmelo II naturally laughed.
