Aldrich Street.

This street, which was extremely calm a few days ago, is particularly lively today, because the annual vacation is finally over, and today is the day of the opening of the college and the return of students.

Although Aldrichstrasse was built to the highest standards, with four lanes in both directions, it was already too spacious in an era when steam locomotives were not yet widespread and daily commuting was dominated by horse-drawn carriages, but now it is extremely crowded.

There is no way, who let most of the students who can go to school in Aldrich Academy are rich and powerful, either the children of nobles or the children of wealthy businessmen, when these students return to school, the private carriage responsible for sending them to school has caused the road to be blocked, and even the police station has to send two additional police teams to maintain order on the road.

And in this pile of luxurious carriages, a young girl leisurely and lonely walked through the gap between the carriage and the horse workshop, thinking about the direction of the school.

Looking at the carriages stuck in the road, Cinderella smiled a little wickedly, thinking that her stepmother and the two cheap sisters were probably also betting on this traffic somewhere.

Obviously, their home is only a ten-minute walk from the school, and there is no need to take a carriage at all, but who makes it a very shabby thing for an upper-class person with status to go to an important occasion on foot.

It has been said that even if the real nobles go to their neighbor's house to attend a party, they must take a horse-drawn carriage around and then arrive at the neighbor's house, so as to show their dignity and respect for their neighbor.

Although the Cinderella family is not an aristocratic family, just a wealthy businessman, for her father and stepmother, who are bent on squeezing into the real upper class, they are keen to do everything like those aristocratic masters.

So, early this morning, the stepmother took Cinderella's two cheap sisters out in the family carriage, and the stepmother, who had always disliked her, naturally would not be kind enough to take her, so she could only walk to school alone as usual.

Fortunately, Cinderella has long been accustomed to this, and besides, in today's congested situation, walking is much more comfortable than riding in a horse-drawn carriage.

As she walked, the girl looked around at the carriages, some of which were obviously of the luxury class, and she even saw a super-luxurious carriage drawn by six handsome black horses, which was probably the child of a certain duke.

"But isn't this year's number a little too exaggerated, are there so many new students this time?"

The girl thought with some confusion.

Although the street will be very lively on the first day of school in previous years, it is obviously more crowded today, seeing that the number of carriages is at least more than double that of last year, especially since a large part of the carriages are four-horse luxury cars, which is almost catching up with the grandeur of Aldrich Academy in the heyday of the empire, and I don't know what happened in it.

After observing for a moment, the girl lowered her head again, then reached out and rubbed her eyes.

Recently, the conflict between her magic eye and glasses has become more and more serious, according to the teacher, the glasses are about to be unable to seal her magic eye, and the teacher has also reminded her that it is best not to wear these glasses recently, otherwise the glasses may explode one day and be easily injured.

But the girl has her own insistence, and she is really afraid of being treated as a monster by others.

"Good morning, Cinderella."

When the girl stopped and rubbed her eyes, someone greeted her, and the voice was a little familiar.

The girl hurriedly let go of her hand, and saw an ordinary two-horse four-wheeled carriage stop beside her at some point, and from the window of the carriage, a good-looking young man was greeting her with a smile.

Unlike the cheap witch teacher who only had the name of master and apprentice, this young man was a real teacher who signed a contract with her, and Cinderella hurriedly returned the salute.

The door of the carriage opened, and the boy poked his head out and invited the girl.

"Come on, I'll take you to school by the way."

Cinderella refused this invitation, because the carriage was really not as fast as she could walk.

"Come on, our master and apprentice should be close and close."

Another beautiful and somewhat dreamy face poked out, it was her cheap witch teacher, and the witch patted the seat next to her, and also sent an invitation to the girl.

Cinderella didn't dare to disobey the dangerous witch teacher's words, so she had to reluctantly get into the carriage.

She didn't really sit next to the witch teacher, this woman felt too dangerous for her, even if the two were nominal masters and apprentices, Cinderella didn't dare to get too close to her at all.

The girl chose to sit next to another rather cute little girl in the carriage.

"Good morning, Sister Cinderella."

The little girl greeted her energetically.

"Well, good morning, Alice."

Faced with the healing smile of this little angel, even a person like Cinderella, who is not good at dealing with people, couldn't help but smile and gently return the salute to the little girl.

The carriage door closed again, and the carriage continued on its way.

This made the girl a little puzzled, is there no traffic jam now?

She looked out the window, and it was a scene of traffic, but when their carriage passed, all the carriages automatically gave way to a lane.

Looking at the coachmen who were obviously still complaining about the traffic jam while complaining, but they honestly gave way out, and after their car passed, they closed again and continued to jam the traffic, the girl was actually a little shocked in her heart.

Especially when it was obviously crowded with people outside, but no one thought there was anything strange about this weird way.

"It's so convenient, that's the power of magic."

The girl sighed in her heart, and then inevitably had some yearning, can she have such power in the future?

It's just that the girl then remembered the unforgettable moment that the witch teacher in the sky city gave them yesterday, but her heart was a little gloomy.

This strange world is not as beautiful as she thought at first, and under which layer of dreamlike exterior hides the dangerous and cruel nature, and she may lose her life for no reason one day, especially her lucky person who has no ability to protect herself but has a pair of high-level magic eyes that can be called treasures.

The witch said yesterday that she would give them a chance to choose, and after realizing the nature of the mysterious side, they can decide for themselves whether they want to continue to join, and it's too late to quit now.

But in Cinderella's opinion, that cheap junior sister Diana can really make a choice, but she herself doesn't have that chance to regret it, once she really chooses to give up, then the first person to shoot at her may be the smiling witch teacher opposite.

This witch is teaching her how rare her magic eyes are, and at the same time, she bluntly expressed her interest in her magic eyes, if she doesn't want to be gouged out and become blind, the girl has no choice, she has no room for regret.

"So, my good disciple, what is your choice?"

On the other side, the witch asked Cinderella with a gentle expression.

"Teacher, can you tell us about the consequences of my opting out?"

Although she had an answer in her heart, the girl still asked.

"Gouge out your magic eye, of course, and then wash away your memories."

The witch said such terrible words with an unchanged smile, and of course, under the angry eyes of the young man on the side, the witch reluctantly added another sentence.

"Okay, it's a good master and apprentice, it's a little bit of affection, after taking away your magic eye, I will replace you with a pair of ordinary eyes, it won't really make you blind, so that you can realize your long-standing dream and be an ordinary girl."

"That's right."

Cinderella nodded, it was great that she didn't have to become blind, and she could fulfill her long-standing wish to be an ordinary girl, no longer having to keep the secret of these strange eyes every day like now, and live every day in fear of being treated like a monster if she was exposed.

Isn't that great?

"I'm going to continue, teacher, please teach me more."

Cinderella replied decisively.

She really can't go back, after seeing such a magical and wonderful world, you let her go back to be an ordinary girl, and fight wits with her stepmother and two cheap sisters every day, how could she be willing.

She is now curious about everything on the mysterious side, the blood of the top student is boiling, she longs to say goodbye to this damn day after day of ordinary life, she wants to have a different and exciting life.

It may be that the good girl has been in office for too long and wants to pursue the thrill, or it may be that the girl's rebellious period has finally arrived, and Cinderella finally makes a choice.

So, the witch on the other side really smiled this time, no longer the dangerous smile she had before, and there was a little more sincerity in her smile.

"Then welcome, my disciple, the wonders of this world are guaranteed not to disappoint you."

On the side, the good-looking young man also smiled, he thought about it, took out a small gift box from his arms and handed it to the girl.

"This is a gift for your entrance exam, and I made the materials I bought yesterday."

The girl was a little surprised to take the gift box, it was the first time she had received a gift from someone other than her parents when she was so old.

"Can I turn it on?"

Cinderella asked politely.

"Absolutely."

The boy nodded gently.

So, the girl's hand trembled slightly and opened the small gift box.

In the gift box is a pair of delicate and beautiful women's silver-rimmed glasses.......
