Chapter 132: Sophia's Story
"That's a good point, but everyone comes from weakness, only those who have been abandoned by death are qualified to create brilliance, and I know you have this kind of courage from the murderous aura you fought against the second-year students at the beginning."
If you have the courage to use it, you don't have to be threatened obediently.
“…… I still don't understand, what do you want me to do? I can't compare to any of you in terms of strength, I'm just a teenage girl in terms of seniority, and your mess has nothing to do with me at all, but why are you involved in me? ”
"You are wrong, this matter has something to do with everyone in the Ania Empire, have you observed the classmates around you, there are many people who have joined different camps as a new force."
"But there are still a lot of people who stay out of it, don't they?"
"Heh, that's just because the family behind them is temporarily neutral, once the disaster breaks out, in order to survive, they must bet on one side, either you die - or I die."
"War is just the outbreak of the ambitions of politicians, and it is the ordinary people who suffer."
"I'm glad you have such thoughts, but you must know that if the temple is not contained in time, it will not only be the common people of Ania who will suffer."
"I grudgingly agree with you, but I don't think I'm going to be a hero who saves people from fire and water, and at most can run for his life in war."
"Ahh
"Huh?"
"Yunying, you are thoughtful, tactful, extremely adaptable, seemingly indifferent but very righteous, you have a temperament that makes people want to follow to the death."
Sweat...... Is this person that Old Man Mueller is talking about still Cloud Shadow? How does it sound like Napoleon?
"But--you are tired of right and wrong, you always want to stay out of things, and you don't bother to show your strength until you have to, which may be a very correct way of life in normal times, but now that it is an eventful time, you will only make yourself passive in everything by doing so."
Precision! The shock of this speech to Cloud Shadow is not insignificant. She suddenly found that she seemed to have been seen through by the strange old man, perhaps even she did not realize that after experiencing the betrayal and death of her previous life, she acted more cautiously, saying that she was going to start a relationship-but she was always waiting for the other party's contribution, saying that there was nothing to talk about between friends--but she never had any persuasion for Sophia's behavior of breaking her life, to put it bluntly, the current cloud shadow would not let herself have too deep feelings for a person - not afraid of dying again, but afraid of dying again at the hands of someone close to her.
"Mentor - you're really good, but that's me. I just want to travel the world, and the life and death of others has nothing to do with me. ”
Thinking of the events of his previous life, the expression on Yun Ying's face became more and more cold. Maybe it's good to be a ruthless person - so that no one can control what you do and think, so that you can never be hurt again.
"Well, I seem to have said something wrong, and I actually made you the opposite, or that. Anyway, the school year is over, so you might as well enjoy a good holiday first, oh, you can take all those Garin lesson plans with you now. ”
"Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to perform my part-time job next semester?"
"Hehe, you should understand that part-time work is just a pretext. I'm just trying to find a reason to give you the notes, I used to not let you take them all because I was afraid that you would be greedy and chew too much, but now it seems that I underestimated you too much. Besides, you probably won't have that much time to spend in school next school year. ”
What does that mean? Although she didn't understand, Cloud Shadow didn't ask questions - some things are much better to know later than earlier, silently walking over to a pile of black books, Cloud Shadow unceremoniously put them all into the bracers - now she desperately needs to improve her strength.
"Yunying, it's true that you're not strong enough now, but you won't be willing to be like this forever."
These were the last words that Old Man Muller said as Cloud Shadow walked out of the office door.
With a lot of thoughts. Cloud Shadow slowly paced down the office building-
"Sophia?"
Looks like I've been waiting for a while, looking around. Why didn't I see the trio of knights, alas, or that I didn't want to see anyone right now—especially the people involved in the current troubles.
"Yunying, I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Okay, it's just lunchtime, let's go to Harpa's restaurant."
It was still in the corner of the wall, and a pot of letter tea was still ordered.
"This school year is coming to an end, Yunying, I cherish our friendship very much, but we have chosen a different path now, in fact, when I started school, I thought you would always be on my side."
The first to speak was Sophia, her expression was full of sadness that could not be misunderstood, yes, in just one year, things were wrong, and Yunying's heart was rarely sentimental.
"No way, we all have compelling reasons for our choices, our persistence has nothing to do with right or wrong, but it's a pity that we can't be as honest with each other as we were a year ago."
"How can you say that? We're still friends. ”
"There are many kinds of friends, although we used to talk about everything, but now you still promise to do so? I can't do it anyway. ”
Yun Ying's words were a little ruthless, in fact, she wouldn't hurt people like this in normal times-not to mention that it was her best friend Sophia in the Kira Continent who was hurt, but today the old man Muller stimulated her a little too much, so Yun Ying's heart was a little cold at this time.
"Cloud Shadow ......"
"Phew—I'm sorry, I was serious, I wanted to talk to you today."
"Really? I thought that Yunying wouldn't miss me if he didn't see me for a holiday. ”
"Of course I'll miss Sophia, but will you only be Sophia when we meet next year?"
"What?"
"I heard that the election of the Holy Maiden is coming, so you should be very sure of your efforts."
“…… Yes, my wish is to become a saint and lead the temple to glory. ”
"Even if you give up twenty years of life for the sake of great strength?"
"You-you know......"
"Don't you regret it?"
"Yunying, I want to tell you about my childhood, my parents were killed in Rogge's purge when I was two years old, I still have two uncles and an aunt, but they all disappeared inexplicably, and now the whole family is only me and my grandfather, the most glorious Golden Falcon family in the Ania Empire in the past has existed in name only, if it weren't for the increasingly close relationship between my grandfather and the temple, our family crest would have been canceled by Rogge, and I would have worked hard for the temple for the rest of my life for this alone, not to mention that Sister Joy later accepted me as an apprentice, She taught me knowledge and magic, she made me feel like a mother, how could I abandon my mother? ”
