Chapter 28: Leeks
Julia woke up to the sun outside that had covered the entire bed, and the heat of the late summer sun had diminished considerably.
Her head was a little drowsy, it was because of the exhaustion of the past few days, which was a good feeling, and it had been a long time since she had slept so comfortably.
If it's your own bed, so much the better......
Julia saw the man hunched over a scroll at the desk on the other side of the room, writing something on a scroll, and the fragments of memories flooded back.
"You're finally awake, come over and get something to eat, I bought two breakfasts. ”
Donald noticed the man sitting up on the bed, put the inscription scroll away, rubbed his eyes, and opened the window again to let in the breeze outside.
Hunger was certain, Julia put on her shoes, was still a little dizzy when she stood up, and finally helped some things beside her to the table and sat down, picked up her breakfast and devoured it, and halfway through eating, tears fell uncontrollably.
"If you have this time to cry, you might as well eat more, and then go back, you should be a student of the Royal Delorraine, right? ”
"Hmm...... Oh noon, my parents must be looking for me everywhere, sir, I have to go, thank you very much for your help, I'll keep today's events a secret from everybody. ”
Julia was halfway through her meal and suddenly realized that her disappearance had probably caused panic among her parents, and she ran out with a slice of bread in her hand, and Donald didn't stop her, and ran to the door, and the girl stopped again, turned her head and said,
"My name is Julia, Julia Owen, I'm not a student of Royal Delorraine, I'm only 15 years old, I just live here, my parents are teachers here...... Sir, can I come back in the future? I'm afraid I'll see you again...... I seem to be getting a little weird lately, do you know why?"
"You're still ...... Donald Grant, my name, I don't know where you're now, but I might be able to help you a little. ”
Donald actually has some guesses in his heart, he thinks that Julia is likely to have a talent awakening, which is why this anomaly appears, and as for what kind of talent will provoke the soul, he doesn't know.
In the future, there will definitely be other soul bodies in the bone spirit disk, how much energy is not enough, now there is a free energy making machine, no need to use it in vain, besides, these energies created by Julia do not seem to be of much use to herself, but will make her constantly have nightmares and provoke some soul bodies to watch.
After thinking about it, I changed my mind halfway, and there is no need to refuse something that kills two birds with one stone.
For the next few days, Donald's routine was no different from that of the average student of Royal DeLorean, and every day he was either in his room studying spells and inscriptions, going to the laboratory to learn experimental operations with Marina, and occasionally entertaining Julia.
Oh...... Not occasionally, but often entertained.
This girl probably thinks that she has made friends in the royal Delorraine, and can help her treat her physical problems, and after the end of her daily schoolwork, she runs to Donald's side, at first because of strangeness and only a short stay, and when Donald uses the siphon bone ring to absorb the accumulated energy on her body and leaves, to the back, the two inevitably start chatting, and become familiar with each other.

"You can't pour it directly with a beaker, that will cause instantaneous large-scale contact between liquids, and if it is some liquid with a violent reaction, it is easy to have problems. ”
Marlena placed a hollowed-out, glass-filled, graduated syringe on the table, and the first week of classes was over.
For this special student of her own, Marlena has almost lost the previous idea of exploring his secrets, no way, Donald's performance is too ordinary, he is not much different from those students on his own flight, at least during class, which makes Marlena believe that Donald really has no special purpose as a teaching assistant.
This week, Donald focused all his learning on the operations required to make agile potions, and his goal was simple, to make the talent potion of agile thinking as quickly as possible, for which he practiced various instruments and operation steps for a long time.
Today may be the time to validate the results.
After leaving Professor Cook's laboratory, Donald was going to the common laboratory in the college, where he would go for repetitive practical operations after the end of the course for several days, which was recommended by Marina, and it was also thanks to her teacher certificate that Donald got this opportunity.
Before that could happen, though, Donald had to go back to his room to get the materials for the Agile Thinking Elixir.
He had just walked on his front foot, and a few minutes later Professor Cook trotted in the door with a new cassette tape in his hand.
"Marina, where's the Donald? I've got to show him a new recording. ”
Professor Cook's expression was a little strange, with some regret and irrepressible excitement.
"When I first went out, I thought I was going to practice in the public laboratory in the school, and I heard him say that he would practice late in the laboratory every day. ”
Marlena quietly went to the management of the public laboratory to verify, Donald every time he went in, it was 2 hours, the end of the class was 3 o'clock, under normal circumstances, it was not out until dinner time, and sometimes it was necessary to go in at night, and the management would not leave until the management was reminded to get off work.
A person who loves experiments so much, Marlena asked herself if she had seen a few books in the past few years.
"It's a shame to be a step late, Marina, this is an audio recording from the inside of a wreck that was just salvaged on August 15 from a machine used to record navigation, the original version is still in the Maritime Bureau, I have already listened to the content in it, it is the same as the one I got before, and this paragraph is clearer, do you want to listen to it?"
For Professor Cook, this is a new discovery, and he can't wait to share it with others, and if Donald is not there, let his daughter listen first.
Marlena didn't refuse.
On the other side, Donald had already arrived at the apartment where the teaching assistants lived, and greeted several teaching assistants along the way, learning that someone was already waiting for him upstairs.
"Leeks. ”
When I got upstairs, I saw the girl lying on the public balcony of the apartment, and shouted.
Leek is the nickname that Donald gave Julia, and her ability to automatically produce special energy is too much like a leek that grows a stubble, and in the accent of this world, the pronunciation of leeks and Julia does have some similarities.
Julia had fought to reject the title of leek before, but found that it had no effect, and finally had to accept it.
As a result, I thought it was quite cute after listening to it too much.
Now she is much better than the sick appearance she was a week ago, except that her face is still paler than other children.
"How did you get here so early today?"
It used to be late in the evening or around 7 p.m.
"Because today is Friday, the school will be out in the afternoon, and the family will take me to the amusement park in the summer forest area in the evening, so I want to come early, by the way, this is the finished product of our school's pastry class, I made it myself, for you. ”
Julia carried a school bag and a bag of cakes wrapped in a gift box.
"Haha~ Then I'll take it, but I'm going to the laboratory soon, and I'll help you absorb all the energy on your body first...... Did you try to control them as I said?"
Walked into the room and picked up the backpack that had been sorted out a long time ago, all the materials for agile thinking were in it, raised his hand and rubbed Leek's hair, and the siphon bone stopped absorbing the energy accumulated around her without a trace.
Recently, when the two were alone, Donald also taught Julia some methods of energy control, and he believed that Julia was a talent awakening, and as long as she mastered the talent, these energies would naturally become her strength, rather than the current burden.
"No, they don't listen to me at all, I follow your method and express my thoughts to them from the heart to communicate, and there is no response at all, what should I do...... One more thing, about the library's ...... I don't know whether to tell you or not. ”
"You've got it all said about it, can I not let you say it? Say it, in the library...... Leek, you wouldn't have used a psychic ritual in it, would you?"
Donald reviewed the process of the talent potion in his notebook, and when he heard Julia mention the library, he subconsciously thought of the remnants of the rituals he had seen in the library a few days ago.
"How do you know? I hadn't slept well in days, and I heard my classmates say I could make a wish to them. ”
Speaking of this, Julia was a little depressed and remorseful, and only felt that she had slept too little and did something stupid without her mind clear.
"And then, that guy got caught up with you? I remember the last time I saw those things, before I met you, which means that it must have been quite a few days until today, and it hasn't bothered you in the meantime?"
"It's been seen several times, but every time it comes up I just say don't come near me, and it stops, and then I tell it to leave, and it's gone...... Also, there was a guy who bullied me in the library that day, and he was found stripped naked and running on the playground these days, and I heard my parents talk about this yesterday. ”
Julia thought back to the situation in the past few nights, and was naturally very scared at first, but after several attempts, she was also a little confused, so she could only turn to Donald for help.
"You say stop, it stops, you make it disappear, it disappears, you can control it?"
Walking on the stairs, Donald looked at Julia in surprise, he had never been exposed to psychic rituals, but anyway, this was not a summoning ritual, and he had never heard of an existence summoned by a psychic ritual that would obediently obey human orders, or the orders of a little girl with no mental power.
Is this what Julia is really capable of?
