The bell of the local academy rang, and Flanda walked slowly to the door of the academy.

Once upon a time she was a student at this academy, but now she has nothing to do with it at all.

The college is holding a graduation ceremony and outstanding graduates will complete their studies today.

"Next, I would like to invite outstanding graduates to make a declaration!" The teacher who hosted the show, Flanda, knew that he was Flanda's homeroom teacher when he was a child, and in order to show the school leaders that he treated students equally, he once humiliated Flanda in public as a giftless waste.

This statement is still amused by Flanda, because the newly appointed teacher has successfully become the head of education by insulting himself with the title of "not afraid of royal power", and he told his father and queen mother about these things, but they turned a deaf ear.

As soon as the teacher finished saying these words, suddenly, in the applause of the whole school, the outstanding graduate who had been in high demand stepped onto the rostrum. Flanda also knew the man, who was her childhood playmate.

That's great. Flanda leaned against the iron door.

Once upon a time, she also wanted to stand in that position, and after so many years, the people who stood in that position changed from generation to generation, but it could never be her.

"That's nice." She finally spoke up.

"If only I had talent."

She muttered to herself as the honor students on the rostrum continued to make their own declarations.

"Talent is not the most important thing, as long as everyone works hard, they will have their own miracles, and everyone is equal in the face of magic-"

"Liar." Flanda said.

"I'm not very talented, so I believe that everyone can work hard-"

"Nonsense."

“——”

"Lies."

“——”

"Fallacy."

“——”

"Fraud."

“……”

“……”

Eventually, Flanda got tired, and the honor student finished her manifesto.

"After so many years, Pandora still likes to be in the limelight so much, and every word she says is a lie, but she can still say it without blushing and her heart beating." Flanda leaned against the window.

"Then next is the outstanding student who is about to go to the Sky Academy for further study, let us applaud and invite her to speak for us!" The teacher continued to return to the podium to preside.

Amid applause, another student walked up.

If the last student Pandora was talking about the "uselessness of talent", then this student was talking about "the necessity of dreams", she was telling a story throughout, and many friends walked into this academy with her after an hour, and they set a goal together to enter the Sky Academy, and now they are separated from each other, only they are still persisting, insisting on their dreams, then they will definitely come true......

Every sentence was like a knife, and every punctuation mark cut a piece of flesh in Flanda's heart, and finally the girl who spoke wrote it in the blood of Flanda's heart

"Miriam hasn't changed, and she feels that her ideals are keeping her going......" Flanda said softly.

"Miss, if you feel uncomfortable, don't listen." Iroh's voice came from behind Flanda.

"I happened to pass by my friend's graduation ceremony, and I couldn't help but come over to watch it, and let you see the joke." Flanda smiled and turned her head and smiled at Eloh.

Iroh sighed softly, and then said, "Miss Flanda, why do you like it so much......"

"When did you come? Do you hear me say anything weird? Flanda interrupted Iroh and said to herself.

"It's only been a long time since I came, but I just listened to a few words she said, and I felt that those words were a little ...... Makes you sad. Iroh brought the ice cream to Flanda and said to her, "The ice cream shop you mentioned seems to have closed down a long time ago, so I took the time to buy some ingredients and made one myself with magic, I don't know if it suits your appetite." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Flanda took the ice cream and took a bite.

"How?" Iroh waited for Flanda's reaction.

"I love it." Flanda replied.

"Thank you very much."

"Mr. Knight." Flanda leaned lightly against the iron door, "Can you stay with me for a while?" ”

"We have plenty of time, and it's at your disposal."

"That's good." Flanda closed her eyes lightly and rested for a while.

It wasn't until the honor student, Miriam, finished speaking, that she opened her eyes.

"They were my friends when I was a kid." Franda was talking about Miriam and Pandora, who happened to be the ones who had just given their testimonials.

"Is it even your friend?"

"Yes, because there are very few people who are willing to be friends with me, and they are willing to be friends with me, which is a rare luck in my life." "Then there was a little friction between us, and we couldn't be friends, and I left the academy and lived with the maids in the Zephyr Mansion ever since. ”

"It should be that they have done something to be sorry for the eldest lady, right?" Iroh asked.

"Why would Mr. Knight say that?"

"Miss Charlotte is a snitch, judging by her appearance, she shouldn't have been the maid of the Zephyr Mansion at first, so it could only be that she was caught by you when she came to the Zephyr Mansion to steal, but you let her go, and volunteered to stay in the Zephyr Mansion to serve you." "I suspect that Her Highness Flanda is a man who likes to mess around, but he is still very kind-hearted. ”

"No, you guessed it wrong, they just wanted to help me." Flanda looked up at the sky, remembering a long, long time ago.

"A long time ago, I was 'assigned' to this remote academy. From that day on, I was regarded as an outlier by the people of the Academy, as she was the only nobleman in the Academy. The students piled up their hatred of the aristocracy on me, and sometimes the students intimidated me in anonymous letters, but Pandora and Miriam were willing to be my friends. This continued until the second year, when Pandora and Miriam revised my test results when they started testing for magical talents. ”

"You don't have a talent for magic, do you?"

"A little bit." Flanda stuck out her tongue, "If you cultivate for a lifetime, you can only release a fireball skill level." But they changed me to a gifted genius archmage, and I believed it right away. That night I made a secret wish that I would become a great magician who would make my parents look up to me, and that all the students in the school would respect me and worship me......"

As a result, Naturally, Flanda didn't need to say it, and Flanda, who thought she was extremely talented, was easily exposed.

"Scolded." Flanda said with a smile, "I was scolded by the teacher for being a waste with no talent, and then the teacher became the director of education with the reputation of 'not afraid of power', and I also dropped out." ”

Iroh didn't know how to comfort her.
