Chapter 1: Twilight

Dark purple clouds shrouded the sky, and there was a faint flash of thunder in the clouds, obviously there were no corpses, but the air was filled with a thick blood mist, and here there were four people in different costumes, each of them occupying a corner, holding each other, the formation of square characters, as the thunder fell, and dispersed, the four people fought separately, shuttling in an invisible body, the weapons they used were simply too fast to distinguish, but the powerful energy fluctuations when the weapons touched with the weapons, Indeed, it is the best evidence that they exist. Time passed quickly, and the sound of tired gasps gradually echoed around them, as if there was a tacit understanding, and after the first confrontation, they retreated to their original position. It was as if they were talking, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't hear clearly, and I don't know how long it was, they all knelt down on one knee at the same time, their heads drooped, and chanted in a low voice, and words so old that they could no longer be read spat out of their mouths, and as the lines of their mouths changed, the words floated around them as if they had materialized, and at the moment when the shape of their mouths was fixed, a hurricane of violent energy suddenly emerged from the square array, it devoured the four people, and also destroyed this blood-red space, The sharp pain flooded my body, my brain couldn't think at all, and all I could see was the white light in front of me...... "Ah!! With an exclamation, I jumped up from the bed, and after gasping for a while, I grabbed my quilt weakly and sighed: "Is it the same dream again?" Casually draped over a coat, I stood up, "It seems to be early." I said this through the window, and it was pitch black outside, and it was as if everything was gone. As long as I wake up, I can't sleep anymore, and this habit has continued from childhood to the present. I lit a candle lamp, but because of my family's background, I couldn't afford a good magic lamp, so I had to use this kind of lamp that was dim but cheaper. After putting on a little dress, I walked to the door, opened the door, and I walked out slowly, only the occasional cold wind blew around me, "Well, it seems that the snow has finally stopped for 3 days", I thought. Behind me are the traces of shoes left on the snow, I looked back and walked straight forward, a person quietly came to the cliff in front of my house, I quietly overlooked the college in the wind, here you can see the panorama of my city, but because there has been an incident of falling off the cliff here, so even if the scenery is excellent, few people will come, since I moved here, every night I wake up, I can't sleep will come here to wait for the dawn, waiting for the lonely dawn, the sky is as dark as the distant scene, The wind swept by, as if it wanted to tear me apart, "Tomorrow will be a good day." I pulled my clothes and said casually.

Today's sun seems to have a special jīng god, and on the way to the academy, I felt the discomfort of sweat sticking on my back. The full name of the college I studied is called "Cangyan Academy", which is one of the best colleges in the entire "Xiji" continent, and it has 2 schools, one is the headquarters and the other is the branch. The main purpose of the branch is to train those who are highly talented people selected from all over the world to become talents in various fields. The main department only accepts those who are recommended by the branch. And according to their talents, they are taught various high-level magic or martial arts. And now I'm on my way to the branch, looking at the sun to estimate the time, I picked up speed. After walking into the classroom where I was, putting down the cloth bag, and sorting out the materials, I sat silently as usual, looking out the window. Because of some small accident 10 days ago, I was treated coldly by all my classmates, although they had a very bad attitude towards me, but they did not completely ignore my existence, as I did today, I have not been at the school gate since I entered the school gate, and no one said a word to me from that time. "It's the whole school, but there's one person ......," I thought about when the music sounded to announce the first magic lesson.

When the notes were just memorized, the music after class sounded very punctually, I walked out of the classroom and walked towards the cafeteria, there are usually only 2 classes in the morning, and each class is about 1 and a half hours, there is a break of about 30 minutes between classes, now I have to buy some bread for lunch, the canteen is usually closed in the middle of the second class, so if you want to buy it, it is only now. The others usually eat in the cafeteria, but I never eat lunch at school because of the price of food, and this school has a taste of aristocracy in its quality, and the reason why I, who have no talent, no money or power, can only study here because of my sad background. I was bored reminiscing about the past as I walked, and just as I was about to turn around and enter the cafeteria, a hand reached over and tapped me on the shoulder. "Ha, why do you eat bread again? Do you change the taste once in a while? "A friendly voice came from the side, and even if I didn't look back, I knew that he was the only person in the whole school who treated me with friendliness, and he was my friend." Scarlet Moon, to improve food or something, there must be economic conditions. With that, I turned to face him with the bread I had just bought. It's a somewhat feminine name, but I'm really not qualified to say anything about it, because my name isn't much better. "As for it, Mo Hong, don't you go to work when you have time? The salary will not be so small that you can only eat bread. "That's right, my name is Mohong, a name that is also female, I heard that the Luo Ya ** teacher who adopted me, helped me with this name, and the original meaning of this name was to hope that my life could be as colorful as a rainbow, but the irony is that since I grew up to now, life can be said to be dark.

At noon, climbing the clock tower of the college, I looked into the distance, quietly eating dry bread, "Hey~~ Sometimes, I really doubt that you are a little masochistic, you don't stay in the warm classroom, but why do you want to come to this ghost place for lunch, do you think that admiring the stinky magic factory in the distance will help increase your appetite?" Scarlet Moon covered her mouth in disgust and said in a complaining tone. I took a sip of water, swallowed the bread stuck in my throat, and then walked over to Scarlet Moon and said lightly, "It's just a habit, but I seem to have reminded you countless times, so you don't have to come up and wait for me." After another pause, I smiled and said, "Or are you just the opposite of me and have masochistic tendencies?" "Sure enough, you can't communicate with an idiot......" he concluded, pressing his forehead.

"Well, isn't there something important going on lately? I feel that the people around me are a little inexplicably excited. When I finished speaking, Scarlet Moon looked at me with the eyes of a monster and said, "This friend from distant outer space, please take a look at the content of the red poster at the gate, OK?" ”“Oh,ON! Do you want me to go downstairs, stand in front of the poster, raise my head again, and finally look with my eyes! No, this is too scary, for the sake of the long-term friendly relationship between my hometown and this beautiful planet, come and translate it for me yourself. I replied with an extremely "stern" expression. Scarlet Moon said in a tone that you had defeated, "Three days later is the school's anniversary, followed by two days later for the annual Dragon Festival, and finally, on the 15th day after the Dragon Festival, there is an entrance exam once every three years. "What's that??" I asked. "Please, there should be a limit to idiots! Of course, the so-called assessment is the ability assessment to enter the main college, which is common sense!. Scarlet Moon scolded with a big grin.

“…… You also know that I have never been interested in things that have little to do with me, and that assessment is so far from my actual situation that I certainly don't care. I shrugged my shoulders indifferently and said.

After a moment of silence, Scarlet Moon said in a deep voice, "Why don't you try it?" This is probably the last chance, besides...""I've already done something worthless once, there's no need to make people laugh at it after 3 years. I didn't wait for him to finish speaking categorically, Scarlet Moon's face changed, walked up to me, grabbed my shoulder and said: "Failure is inevitable, you who fell there 3 years ago, now you must be able to get up there, if you are now you must have become a lot stronger, go and try, I will go with you!" "Forget about Scarlet Moon, it's not like you don't know my special physique... With such strength, what can I do! I lowered my head and replied, the strength in Scarlet Yue's hand became heavier, and he said with a little excitement: "But if you can't enter the main academy again, you will definitely be expelled from school if you are full of school age and have no special appearance, and if you don't accept the assessment, then what is your hard work, what is it for you to pay for the whole body pain every day, just for that time to practice!" I looked at him in amazement and muttered to myself, "Why would you?" Why would it be? He looked at me, as if to calm down, took a deep breath and said, "One night, when I came to look for you, I saw that your whole body was convulsive but you were still meditating, and I knew that you were using your own pain to resist that innate curse, in exchange for the cultivation time that ordinary people don't despise at all. I knew your dedication and determination, so I left without saying anything. ”

I have a very special physique, that is, I can't practice magic, as long as I chant, my head is like thousands of ants and insects gnawing at it, even do meditation, after a long time, the whole body will have violent convulsions, so when I was still at my adoptive father's house, he asked the archbishop to treat this strange disease for me, and the result was naturally no cure, I remember that at that time, my adoptive father heard the archbishop's analysis of my condition, his expression was very complicated, that is, sad, doubtful and surprised, and with a trace of rejection and regret. Before leaving, the archbishop left me some special medicines, and after taking them, I could barely do 2 hours of magical training every time, but as soon as this period passed, the pain would be far better than before, and it was doubly reflected in me, and I remember that I still faintly heard these words at that time: the shackles of sin, the cursed body, the cage of blood......

I saw that Scarlet Moon was not talking, he also calmed down and waited for a while and said, "So even if it is to put a complete end to your school life and your own pain for so many years, just participate." "Full terminator? Hehe, don't be kidding, Scarlet Moon you also know that no matter how hard I try, I can only practice for 3 hours at most, and look at our class, even the laziest person practices magic for at least 5 hours a day. I am not at all commensurate with their efforts, but I cannot even achieve the desire to have the same level as them, so why should I draw such a perfect terminator, just for an hour of meditation, and I have to endure the accumulated pain of all the tortures in the world! You know, at that time, I really felt how happy it was to die right away! But just to have the strength to fight with the classmates around me without losing too badly, I endured it, but as a result, in the assessment 3 years ago, I was solved by a person who was 3 years younger than myself, 5 times, in addition to defense, I didn't even have time to attack! At such a price, in exchange for such a result, how do you call me!! I couldn't hold back the grief in my heart, and at this moment I poured them out. When I almost finished yelling, my whole body felt a little weak, I leaned against the wall, trying to calm myself, I looked at the complicated expression of the Scarlet Moon forced a smile and said: "I know that you are for my good, and I don't want to be angry with your only friend, but enough is really enough, I keep destroying my body to be able to practice magic, no matter how strong it is, I will not stop, plus my own nutrition is not very good, so now this body is basically useless, Coupled with my magical limitations, it's safe to say that my chances of a bright future at this school are zero. And all I want to do now is to leave myself an ending with as little ridicule as possible. ”

"Mo Hong......" Crimson Moon muttered, "Okay, don't look at me like this, I'm used to it." You have to pay attention to the assessment, last time I was brushed down because of age, this time you will definitely be able to choose! I walked over and patted him on the shoulder. Okay, it's too cold, I'll go back, don't stay. After saying that, I went straight to the stairs, but there was still the sound of deep breathing behind me, it seemed that he had no intention of leaving, I shook my head and thought so.

The snow left behind yesterday disappeared without a trace under the baking of the morning sun, as if there was no zài at all, and there was no change in the surroundings. The life that is not expected, the death that has not been saved, such an ending is just like me.
