Chapter Eighty-Four: Not at All Tense Atmosphere
Two weeks flew by, and during that time, Ellie frequently wandered around the academy's library, as she had to be well prepared to participate in the competition, and the library's many magic could come in handy. Ellie is like a sponge, absorbing countless magical knowledge in the deep sea of the library. However, because she still has to go to school, the time in the library is very limited, so during this time, Ellie has not been to even the cooking club she likes for a long time, but everyone at the cooking club knows that Ellie participated in the competition, and in addition to congratulations, they can only pray that Ellie can win. Catherine knew about it the night when Ellie was eligible, but she only encouraged her to play well, as if she didn't care about it. Ellie knew that Catherine didn't talk much, and besides, the girl was more gentle-hearted, so she didn't care about it.
During this time, the dean of Celerell College arrived at Osford a week after the arrival of Gloria and the others, this old man with a white beard but strong spirits was full of red light, and he did not forget to make fun of Bill when he came, because Osford had lost four consecutive triwizard tournaments in the previous triwizard tournaments. After Oosford's last title, the next winner was Magic Lanka, and then Tellier won a triple in a row, making the old man angry in front of Bill. And Ellie only learned at this time that Gloria was the granddaughter of the old man, and his name was Clilance Hilda, a well-known sword saint on the mainland, who used an extremely domineering fire-based fighting spirit. Although most of the people who have a fire-based fighting spirit have a strong personality and are all impatient, this old man is unexpectedly self-contained, and he will also show heroic actions while being elegant, which is easy to make people feel close.
After that, just one day later, the dean of Magic Lanka also arrived. It was expected that the dean of Magic Lanka would also be an old man, but to Ellie's surprise, it was a beautiful woman named Meluna Christie, the 72nd director of Magic Lanka. The years have not taken away her beauty, but Ellie still sees some delicate wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, as if they are scars left by the struggle against time, and the so-called years are not forgiving. But what amazed Ellie was that magic could be so magical, that an old man over 100 years old could have such amazing beauty. However, Dean Meluna was not as amiable as Dean Cleelands, she always looked serious, and when she saw Dean Bill, her face was even more cold, making Bill's friendly smile as he greeted her stiffen. Ellie looked at this scene and wondered if there was something wrong between the two old men, Dean Meluna's attitude towards others was obviously different from that towards Bill, and this fool could see it.
As for the restaurant that I haven't been to for a long time, because I don't have time, there are many things that Ellie doesn't know, but fortunately, Hylis will tell her, and she will tell Ellie some interesting things. What made Ellie concerned was that Edwell, Catherine's younger brother, actually frequented their restaurant, and seemed to be greatly touched by the fact that he ate the food with great affection. Even the novice pastries made by Hylis herself, Edwell gave a lot of appreciation, which made Hylis simply flattered. After a long time in the restaurant, Edwell became acquainted with them, and when he knew that Alicia was the third warrior of Osford, he directly squirted out a mouthful of food, and even said that no one told him about it at all, and he later drank a large glass of water to relieve himself. When Hylis said this, she smiled back and forth, which made Ellie inexplicable, is it really that funny?
But no matter what, all the people from the two houses have arrived, and the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. Although Ellie felt very regretful, because the time between her selection and the start of the competition was only half a month, she felt that she was not ready, and now she only hopes that she will not go wrong and drag everyone back.
In the dormitory, Ellie's room, it was already the last night before the game, the dim magic lamp in the room seemed to be blown out by a breeze, the girl leaned on the head of the bed with a pillow, holding the little black cat in her arms, her extra body was wrapped in warm feathers, and her head kept thinking about what she had encountered in the past few weeks and what the game would be like tomorrow.
"It's going to be tomorrow."
"Meow—"
"I don't know what the competition will test, but if it's cooking, I'm absolutely confident, but it's impossible."
"Meow—"
"Little Black will only 'meow-'." Ellie puffed out her mouth and screamed as Blackie screamed.
"......" Xiao Hei.
"Haha, just kidding, you have to sleep, and you have to be ready for the game tomorrow."
Ellie kissed little black lightly on the head, and the little guy scratched his head impatiently, jumped out of Ellie's arms, and found a comfortable position on the bed to fall asleep.
Although Ellie was still a little nervous during the day, because the official competition would start tomorrow. But when she lay down, Ellie didn't have that nervousness, on the contrary, she was in a calm mood, and Ellie thought that the dazed panic was far away from her, but with the arrival of the next day, they chased back with interest.
From the early morning of the next day, the atmosphere in the academy was very lively, everyone was talking, and the most discussed topic among them was Ellie's competition, because she was only in her second year, there were some people who did not support her and were not optimistic about her, and there were also some people who supported her and liked her to cheer for her. Ellie felt nervous like never before, the cramped feeling of the whole square staring at you made Ellie at a loss, she felt that her body had become stiff, and it was already difficult to take a step, as if someone had released a malicious stone skin spell, and her body was so heavy that it was difficult to control herself.
Nina reached over with one hand and took Ellie's hand, and the cold touch was transmitted. It seemed that an invisible force was helping her, which calmed Ellie's heart a little. Blackie rubbed Ellie's head with his little head, as if comforting Ellie.
"Don't be nervous." Nina spoke.
"Hmm."
Ellie replied, trying to ignore the gaze that came from her. Then the best way to do that is to divert your attention, she thought. Shaking her head and looking around for something that might be interesting to distract herself, she saw the worried look on Edwell's side from Magic Lanka, and a girl next to him was looking at the girl carefully, looking at Ellie with a wise gaze, and the girl even felt a flash of light pass through her eyes. Ellie knew her, Merlene Ambrosius was her name, but they didn't speak. Ellie smiled at them as a gesture of friendship, and she saw a mysterious smile on Merlin's lips, but Ellie didn't know what she was trying to convey, maybe she just smiled back at her.
