"You're Loren Turin, the new apprentice Mentor Dalton said he was?"

The young man standing in front of Loren asked in a very decisive tone, and stretched out his right hand with his own expression of course: "Isaac Grantham, according to Mentor Dalton's orders, I will take you where you should go. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Thank you very much, Isaac Grantham. Loren smiled and reached out to shake it, but the other party directly withdrew his hand.

"Don't be so fast, according to the usual social etiquette, we should shake hands after we have finished speaking. The young man tilted his head and said, "And this is the first time we have met, you should call me Grantham, or Mr. Grantham." ”

"Uh...... Well, Granter ......"

"But considering that we'll be apprenticed to a mentor for a few more years, you can call me Isaac right now - but I'll come before you, so you can add the title of 'Senior' if you will. ”

"Okay, Isaac learns ......" Before Loren could finish speaking, the young man grabbed his right hand and shook it hard.

"Good, socialized. The young man walked up the stairs without looking back: "A waste of time is a waste of life, life is too short, so let's hurry up and do what we should do, hurry up and don't fall behind, Senior Loren!"

Even Loren, who thought he was quite patient, couldn't help but roll his eyes, shrugged his shoulders and hurried after the young wizard, walking up the stairs of the tower.

"You may already know a little bit about this college, but let me introduce you to it - Wimpal College consists of four towers, a main fort, and two courtyards. The north tower where we are located belongs to Mentor Dalton Kander, with his dormitories and study on the second and third floors, and our dormitories on the fourth floor and the laboratory and library on the fifth floor. ”

"The front courtyard of the college is an activity and rest area, the back courtyard is a plantation for a small number of rare plants, and the library, kitchen, and auditorium are all in the main fort, but most of the time you don't have to go there.

"And if you're a religious believer, the prayer room is there. And I can assure you that it's quiet, because the vast majority of wizards aren't very religious. ”

"Most of the time we only need to stay in this tower and complete most of our spiritual practices - herbology, alchemy, ancient runes, occultism, spells, astrology, history, ......"

In just a few flights of stairs, the young wizard named Isaac talked endlessly like a living dictionary, and from beginning to end he had a tone, so that Loren, who was walking behind, kept the awkward smile when he went up the stairs from beginning to end.

"Great, this is your dorm. Isaac muttered as he pushed open the door to the room, "There's an apprentice's robe on the bed that can be changed and washed, and the sheets are a little old but can be used again, is there anything else?"

“...... Uh, there's only one. Seeing that the other party finally stopped, the corner of Loren's mouth twitched: "How many apprentices does Mentor Dalton have?"

"Three, and that's counting you - Mentor Dalton's criteria for selecting apprentices are extremely strict, and those ordinary people are at best a pharmacist or a fortune-telling liar. Isaac picked his chin proudly: "So since we talked about this, can you ask which subject you are going to take?"

"As a person who has come over, I recommend that you study the occult. It is a profound discipline that involves the formation of a relationship between the void and the material world, and requires considerable talent and the ability to understand it without common sense. And some people who are not talented enough can only learn alchemy and accept the tragic fate of becoming an alchemist. ”

"Isaac Grantham, what are you talking about bastard?!"

The corners of Loren's mouth curled, and his gaze turned to the place where the angry roar had come - he hadn't seen anyone yet, but he had already guessed who was coming.

"Ignore this guy, Loren. The puffing Ain's cheeks flushed, he gasped for breath, and clasped his hands on his shoulders: "He's a madman!"

"Ain Rand, Mentor Dalton specifically reminded that no loud noises are allowed in the tower. Looking at the little wizard who came up the stairs, Isaac spoke, "And...... Why are you scolding me?"

"Oh, is it?" Ain smiled instead of being angry, "Then who just said that it is a tragic fate to become an alchemist?!"

"But that's only because of your lack of qualifications and intelligence that you have to choose to become an alchemist. The young wizard said with an innocent face, "I didn't say you were stupid!"

The little wizard simply pointed his right hand at the stairs: "Get out!"

"If you say 'goodbye,' it will appear that you are more polite!" Before he could finish speaking, Isaac had already rushed to the next floor, dodging the "suspicious object" flying overhead.

"It's beautiful!" Looking at the parabola flying in front of him, Loren smiled a little ridiculously: "I don't know yet, you have such a hand." ”

Ain's face suddenly turned red, and he hesitated, as if he regretted the appearance just now: "I, I'm not usually like this, it's all because of Isaac, the bastard...... It's so infuriating!"

"Is he usually like that?"

"That's right, this guy is a madman, arrogant, likes to show off, and is narcissistic to the point of no return!" the little wizard nodded vigorously in agreement: "But he is indeed a genius, although it is particularly annoying!"

It doesn't seem like an easy person to get along with, Loren couldn't help but say in his heart. In his previous life, he had also been exposed to creatures like Xueba, most of whom were immersed in their own worlds and couldn't extricate themselves, taking talent and understanding for granted, but it was really the first one to be so strange.

Just as Loren was about to make a joke, he found that the embarrassed expression on Ain's face still hadn't faded, as if he wanted to say something but stopped talking: "What's the matter, is there anything inconvenient to speak?"

"Mentor Dalton, he ......" The little wizard just spoke, but immediately stopped, hesitating for a moment: "I didn't expect him to do such a thing!"

The purpose of inviting Loren to the Wimpal Academy is to make this wandering knight no longer live a precarious life and no longer have to worry about his life being threatened. But now Mentor Dalton actually uses this condition in exchange, so what's the difference between Loren and the past days?!

No...... Maybe it's even more dangerous. Most of the wandering knights have to deal with robbers and bandits in the mountains and forests. And now Loren may have to face monsters, curses, and even places as dangerous as that pagan temple he has never heard of!

"It's not about Dalton Khand. Loren shook his head: "I chose it myself, and I think it's very fair, there's no problem." ”

"But...... This is too dangerous!" The little wizard was still uneasy: "You've only experienced it once, and you don't know how terrible it is!"

With a long sigh, Loren walked into his room and looked out at the wilderness through the window: "Do you know what is the most terrifying? The answer is simple, knowing nothing is the most terrifying!"

I was so new to this world, even though I had survived for nearly three years, when I faced Asrael for the first time in that cellar, the feeling of horror was truly like falling into an ice cave!

This world, which looks no different from the ancient Middle Ages in the previous life, has too many terrible things to hide, and it is easy to kill yourself.

Never expose your thoughts easily, think and analyze rationally, and choose the least bad solution...... This was Loren's usual style of doing things, but it was on that day that he realized for the first time that he had no choice in the face of those forces, and he couldn't even overcome the fear in his heart.

"So, it's my own decision, I definitely don't want to live in this world without knowing anything, even if it costs me, even if I will die, I have to figure out why. ”

Loren walked over to his bed, picked up a copy of "Step into Meditation" that was on his wizard's robe, and handed it to the little wizard.

"Can you teach me?"
