Chapter 14: New Life
Ellie never imagined that she would be so popular.
Never, Ellie was sure again, thinking as she looked at the few classmates who had gathered around after Charms class.
"What color does Ellie like?"
"What is the relationship between Sister Ellie and Lord Catherine?"
"What kind of food does Ellie like?"
"Sister Ellie's head is a kitten monster?"
……
Everyone asked around Ellie, caring about Ellie's appearance, which moved Ellie a little.
Ellie also looked at them, this feeling of being cared for by everyone is so good, recognized by everyone, cared for by everyone, no one will alienate themselves, really happy, so happy.
"My favorite color is white."
"Catherine is my roommate who lives with me."
"My favorite thing to eat is potato chips."
"Well, her name is Blackie."
……
The girl tried her best to answer everyone's questions, not a single one, she has been recognized by everyone, she will no longer be like the original, only Chixia will accompany her, she will not sit alone and watch others play football, play basketball, will not eat quietly alone, and will not walk home alone.
The preparatory bell rang and the students returned to their seats.
Ellie lowered her head, her golden hair hanging down naturally, covering her face, her hands clutching her clothes, a drop of warm water slipped from her eyes and fell on the back of her hand that had been clenched into a fist, one drop, two drops
The girl at the table saw Ellie's tears, but she didn't know why, "Ellie, are you okay?" ”
Ellie looked up, but her eyes were already teary, and the tears couldn't stop sliding down, dripping from her smooth chin onto her clothes.
"It's such a good feeling to be cared for by everyone!!" Ellie's voice trembled a little.
"It feels really good that I don't have to be alone anymore." Ellie stopped crying, but her voice was still a little shaky with excitement. "I'm sorry for saying something weird."
"It's okay, no one here will hate you, just study happily here." The girl took out a handkerchief and wiped Ellie's soaked face, wiping away the tears, but Ellie's eyes were still slightly red.
[Will such a good girl be separated alone, she is also a person with a sad story. The girl thought so.
"Thank you, Cialis." Ellie thanked the girl at the table.
"Let's go to class with peace of mind, the teacher is coming soon."
The girl named Celis had red hair and beautiful facial features, but she looked a little weird in a pure white priest's uniform.
"Hmm." Ellie nodded slightly, stroking her face with both hands, controlling her emotions.
Because Ellie was sitting in the back row, none of the other classmates saw Ellie's crying just now, only her tablemate Hillis saw it, but it made her feel sorry for this weak girl.
At this time, the class bell rang, and the teacher also walked into the classroom, it was an old man with glasses, he had a long beard, his face was full of wrinkles, and the "Chronicle of the Continent" in his hand told the others that the teacher's department was Afimir, the teacher who taught the first graders in the history of the mainland.
The old man, who was dazzled without reading glasses, saw Ellie's beautiful girl at a glance, because he had seen Ellie come in a dragon yesterday, after all, Elmos had flown down from the staff quarters, and Ellie was not yet wearing her school uniform and stood out in the crowd.
He also saw the red circles under the beautiful girl's eyes, as if he had cried, but he didn't know what was happening.
"This is a new student, isn't he?"
Hearing this, Ellie stood up and bowed to Afimir, "Hello, teacher, I'm the new Alicia, just call me Ellie." ”
"Well, I'm your Continent History Teacher Afimir." The white-bearded old man put the book on the lectern, sat down, and looked at Ellie's red eyes again, "If you have any questions in the future, come to me, and I will help you answer them." ”
Afimir remained silent, but the care revealed in her words was understood only by Ellie.
Ellie gave Aphimir a big smile after hearing this, "Okay, thank you, teacher." ”
The old man waved his hand for Ellie to sit down, and then began to talk about today's lesson.
[It's a wonderful place. Ellie thought, then opened the textbook and listened intently.
------------------------------ dividing line------------------------------
As the bell rang, it was time for school to end, everyone came out of the classroom, and Ellie also walked out of the classroom with Xilis, the magic class is generally no class in the afternoon, unless you have an elective class to attend, but the martial arts class still has a practical class in the afternoon.
"Sister Ellie, goodbye."
"Goodbye." Ellie waved goodbye to her classmates who said goodbye to her.
Because the first grade is generally sixteen-year-olds, and Ellie is as approachable as a gentle big sister, so they will call the girl sister, and the age gap girl doesn't care very much, she likes the feeling of others talking to her without barriers,
After smiling and saying goodbye to the other classmates, Hylis and Ellie walked to the door together, because school had just ended, so there were still quite a lot of people, but both of them walked at the back.
"Is Ellie going to the cafeteria?" Hylis asked, she was the only girl in the class who was Ellie's age.
There is a large canteen in Osford that can accommodate hundreds of people, and the chefs are generally hired by the residents of the area, although they are not particularly good cooks, but the food they make is still good.
"No, I made my own lunch, and Cialis would like to come and eat with me?"
"No, no need, I'll go to the cafeteria and eat by myself."
"yes, okay then." There are only two bento boxes in Ellie's space ring, one is Catherine's, and the other is her own, she originally wanted to give her share to Ciris, Catherine still has classes in the afternoon, but she doesn't have one, she can go back and do it herself, but if Cilise doesn't want it, there is no way.
"Then leave it here, goodbye." Ellie said to Cialys with a smile.
"Well, goodbye."
Cialis was a little afraid to look at Ellie's bright smiling face, waved her hand casually, and walked away alone.
Ellie saw Cylise walking away and turned to walk in the direction of the Fighting Spirit, and she also had to bring lunch to Catherine.
Cialis walked quietly on the road alone, chatting and laughing with her classmates next to her as if she were people of two worlds, the girl looked at those students longingly from a distance, and she really wanted to be with them, but she couldn't be considered a human anymore.
I'd love to say yes to Ellie's invitation, but can I still be with ordinary people?
Cialis turned her head just in time to see Ellie's vanishing back, the girl's fists clenched.
"I'm going to find a way to heal my body, definitely. Hylis said inwardly.
……………………
At this time, Ellie was strolling on the road leading to the Douqi Department Teaching Building, the Magic Department and the Douqi Department are divided into two teaching buildings, and the teaching content is mostly the same, and the Douqi Department has a huge training ground that is not available in the Magic Department for students to practice.
As for why the magic department doesn't have it, it's because the magic is so powerful that it can easily destroy the venue, and even if the academy is rich, it can't afford to spend such a huge expense.
Walking in the teaching building of the Douqi Department, the girl in the white dress is particularly conspicuous, but when she saw Ellie's classmates, she didn't go over to talk to her, because there was a more important thing to do, someone was going to duel, which was not often seen, and it was usually just a matter of learning from each other.
Ellie looked at the map in her hand and found Catherine's second year class, because Catherine had been here for the second year.
The door was open, and now there were a few students left in the class eating their lunch, Ellie looked at the rest of the people and knocked on the door, attracting the attention of the others.
"Excuse me, is Sister Catherine here?"
"Catherine, she's dueling with Wright in the third training ground, it should have started now." A girl in black leather armor said to Ellie.
"Huh? Duel? "There's something strange about Ellie.
"Well, that's right, Wright is from the second class, because we were defeated by Catherine when we were in the two classes, so in order to defeat Catherine, he often comes to Catherine to duel."
"yes, thank you for telling me." Ellie thanked her and turned to walk towards the training grounds.
"Don't worry, she can't beat Catherine." The voice of the classmate came from behind, but Ellie had already walked around the corner, and I didn't know if I heard it.
As soon as she arrived at the third training ground, Ellie saw a group of people who seemed to be watching something, because it was school time, and the other students had gone to lunch, so it was not so crowded even though there were many people.
Ellie also joined the crowd, her eyes looked at the center, it was a half-meter high ring, in the center there were two people fighting, one of them was a boy with short brown hair and wearing leather armor, holding a big sword and slashing at the other girl, but was slid to the side by the girl's thin sword backhand.
The girl had long blond hair and tight black leather armor, which was the Catherine that Ellie was looking for, and the identity of the boy with the big sword was also about to come out, it was Wright who challenged Catherine.
Both of them had some sword wounds on their bodies, and blood flowed out with the movements, and Ellie covered her mouth and looked at Catherine worriedly.
The girl was about to stop it, but a hand patted her on the shoulder, interrupting Ellie, and the girl looked back.
It was a young man with short blond hair, a handsome face with a kind smile, wearing a heavy armor, and a big sword behind his back, looking tall and mighty.
"You can't interrupt their duel, it's sacred and can't be disturbed." He said.
"Huh? But it's dangerous for them to do that. ”
"It's going to be fine, look there." The handsome blonde man shook his head and pointed across from Ellie, where a somewhat serious middle-aged man stood.
"Who's that?"
"It's the teacher of the academy's martial arts class, and if there is danger, the teacher will come forward to stop it."
"Oh, thank you for telling me this?" Ellie hadn't finished her sentence because she noticed that the handsome boy was missing.
Ellie also felt a little strange, but it was Catherine who was more important, and then turned back and continued to watch the duel on the field.
Catherine in the field is stabbing Wright in the neck with a sword, and if Wright doesn't do some protection, Catherine will pierce his neck in the next second.
Of course, Wright would not sit still, but rolled on the spot unsightly, dodging the sword, but he didn't expect that this sword was Catherine's feint, because she was holding the thin sword, so she could flexibly change her moves, Wright just got up, and was kicked directly out of the field by Catherine.
And if the two fall off the field in the agreement, they will lose, so Wright has to accept his fate.
Wright returned to the training ground and solemnly said to Catherine: "I lost, I will fulfill my promise and will not duel you for three months." ”
As Wright finished speaking, the crowd on the sidelines erupted in cheers, as if they had won the duel instead of Catherine.
"Sister Catherine!" A sweet voice came from the crowd.
Catherine heard this voice but it was a little familiar, and she turned her head to see that it was Ellie trotting over.
"Ellie, you're here." Catherine screamed.
"How can Catherine-senpai do such a dangerous thing, look at the blood that has been shed here." Ellie looked at Catherine's arm and said with some concern.
"Is Ellie worried about me?" Catherine was in a somewhat cheerful mood.
"Of course, they're all hurt."
"Then I'll be careful in the future." Catherine stroked Ellie's blonde hair behind her back with her uninjured right hand.
"Well, that's right." Ellie was a little happy to hear Catherine's repentance.
Ellie pulled Catherine's left hand, where there was a wound that rolled up flesh, and red blood was slowly flowing from it, looking shocking.
"It's serious."
The girl's right hand was raised, and a white staff appeared in her hand, with a corolla-like tip and a patterned body, making the staff look very beautiful.
With a wave of her right hand, a holy light spilled from the ring, and the wounds on Catherine's legs and arms immediately healed, as well as the wounds on Wright's body next to her.
It was the healing light that Ellie used when she first met Catherine, and the girl was already able to instantaneously use this magic because she had been baptized by dragon blood.
Wright didn't look at the wounds on his body, but at the two people in the field.
The conversation between the two just now was heard by all the people around them, so at this moment, there was some silence around the ring, and everyone looked at the two people in the middle.
There was only one thought in everyone's hearts: "Catherine actually has such a gentle time." ”
They feel as if the world is not real.
The silence around her made Ellie a little confused, it had been noisy just now.
She looked around, and immediately met a pair of eyes, and her pretty face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple.
Catherine looked at Ellie's appearance, chuckled, and pulled the girl out of the ring, out of the crowd, and towards the school building.
……………………
There was only one Wright left in the blue stone brick ring, and the people around him were also thinking about who that girl was, and that healing magic was really gorgeous.
"The one just now is the fifth-order magic healing light."
Some of the older students recognized the magic Ellie was using.
"It seems to be true, that magic doesn't even have to be unleashed by a fourth-year priest."
"But that girl is instantaneous, and her name is Catherine-senpai, so"
"She's a freshman in the first grade."
For a moment, there was only one thought in the hearts of the students.
"What a horrible freshman."
