After eating the perfect breakfast, Rosen was refreshed, and he walked briskly towards the study, and then gently pushed the door open.

The two of them in the study heard the movement and turned back together.

Rosen looked over, first nodding to the apprentice magician Hill, and then at the man.

The man was not tall, half a head shorter than Ciel, a little fat, his face was round, his clothes did not fit well, he was tightly wrapped around his body, and he stood there as if he were a round potato standing upright. He was very hostile to Rosen, and when he saw Rosen, he blew his beard and glared, looking ready to quarrel at any time.

This man is unkempt, ordinary, temperamental, and a little obscene, but it makes Rosen feel very kind.

'Squirrels will, yes, yes. Compared to the hierarchical and arrogant mage of Nilogaard, this guy looks more like a scientific researcher on Earth. ’

Rosen walked to the seat behind the desk, and after sitting down, he smiled: "Miss Hill, this must be what you call 'mathematician' Vicky, right?" ”

He deliberately accentuated the tone of the word 'mathematician'.

'Round Potato' Vicky immediately jumped to his feet and said loudly: "Boy, I've read your manuscript. Although you got the correct answer, your whole derivation process is full of nonsense like a sieve! This time you can get the answer, it's all due to luck! ”

Rosen smiled playfully, picked up a few pieces of parchment from the table, and threw them at Vicky: "Loophole?" That's just a small scroll and a short write-up. If you can't read it, you might as well check out my full version. ”

Vicky huffed and reached out to take the scroll, steady, and began to look seriously.

It was true that he was annoyed with Rosen and said wildly, but the argument between the two was mathematical, and the contradiction in mathematics was naturally solved by mathematics. So, he is looking at the scroll now to find a loophole in it so that he can fight back against Lawson!

Treating things not people, his attitude made Rosen appreciate it more and more.

Mathematics is a very rigorous and abstract science, and loopholes cannot be found in a while, not to mention that there are no logical flaws in this manuscript written by Rosen.

As a result, Vicky fell into a big pit when he saw this, and after nearly 2 hours, he didn't speak again.

In the past 2 hours, Rosen naturally won't wait, he got up and brought Hill a cup of hot tea, and said with a smile: "Miss Hill, you can see that you are very reluctant to come." ”

Hill gave Rosen an angry look: "It's not because of your recklessness?" You asked me to relay that sentence to Vicky, and I saw that he was very emotional, and I was afraid that he would cause trouble, so I had to come with him. ”

Rosen hurriedly apologized: "It's really bothering you." ”

After a pause, he asked again, "On the part of the Academy, is there any reaction to Miss Adele's murder?" ”

Speaking of business, Hill sorted out his emotions and said, "From what I've seen, the academy doesn't seem to have a particularly big reaction. The only action is to urge the city hall to try its best to solve the case and give the citizens an explanation. ”

"It doesn't sound like the style of the academy at all."

Hill sighed, a little depressed: "This is also something that can't be helped. Did you know that just yesterday afternoon, my mentor, Cantor, was sent back to the academy with a serious injury and a broken arm. As for my two senior brothers, they lost their lives directly. And this is just a small thing that has happened recently, and on other issues, the college has also lost a lot of manpower. ”

"Sounds like a grim situation?" Lawson raised an eyebrow.

"It's never been more severe, and all the problems seem to have erupted together. I saw that many high-level magicians who were usually high up and above had a sad face. As for an insignificant apprentice magician like me, he was in a state of complete laissez-faire, and no one paid any attention to me. ”

Rosen asked knowingly, "Then someone must be secretly working against the academy." Who do you think it will be? ”

"I don't know." Hill shook his head: "People in the academy are panicked, and there are people who say anything, some people suspect that it is the Flame God Cult, some people suspect that it is King Cowell, and some people suspect that some monster organization is taking advantage of the fire to rob. The truth is completely hidden in a fog. ”

Rosen listened quietly, and also felt a sense of urgency that was coming.

In the game, he only knew that the Nilogard Academy was defeated by the Flame God Cult in a distance conflict, but how it was defeated and what conspiracy the Flame God Cult used, Rosen did not participate in it, and he was completely unaware.

Hill sighed and shook his head, "Forget it, don't mention this." Naturally, the magic professor has a way to deal with these things. A little person like me is just going with the flow. ”

"Hmm~ So what are your plans for the future?" Rosen asked.

He looked at Ciel out of the corner of his eye, and found that although her apprentice magician's robe was clean, the cuffs and neckline were badly worn. Hill herself looked like she was in her early twenties, and she should have been a youthful age, but she was haggard and had heavy dark circles under her eyes.

Judging from these details, it seems that the life of this enviable apprentice magician is not as chic as others imagined.

"Intended?" Hill looked out the window at the garden, his eyes blank.

"Stay at the Academy? Or do you want to find a way? ”

A bitter look appeared on Hill's face: "A way out?" I have no way out. Do you know, my father was a merchant in the kingdom, and half a year ago, he died of illness, and my brother inherited most of the family property, leaving me only a little. If I don't get promoted to full mage this year, then I won't have enough money to stay at the academy. ”

"What happens after that?" Rosen asked softly.

"After that? There are two paths? Either I will go home and accept the marriage that my brother has appointed for me. Either stay in Nilogaard and live as a governess for a rich family. ”

She turned her head to look at Rosen, her eyes were already red: "Mr. Rosen, I envy you, you have a strong talent, and your mentor is still an alchemy master...... Unlike me, my talent is mediocre, and no matter how hard I work, it's no different from wasting my time. ”

Rosen asked again, "Then are you sure of being promoted?"

Hill didn't speak, she stretched out her hand, and a thin breeze appeared on her palm, which lasted for about half a minute, the breeze dissipated, and sweat was already soaked on her forehead: "See, this is the limit of my strength." Although my magic theory grades were almost the best in the academy, I was so lacking in strength that by the end of the year, I wouldn't have been able to advance unless a miracle happened. ”

"In fact, your power is indeed very far from a 1-star mage." Rosen commented. With such a level of strength, the elemental control ability is only about 200 points, which is only a little stronger than when Lawson first crossed over.

Ciel turned his head and continued to look at the garden outside the window, then quietly reached out to wipe his face, and forced a smile: "Perhaps, do you think that I am a fool and not worthy of pursuing the path of magic?" Like you say Vicky, not worthy to be a mathematician? ”

Rosen hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, how can you be a fool?" Didn't you just say that you had an extraordinary score in magical theory?"

"Yes. The academy encourages students to study the theory of magic, and I know that I am not strong enough, so I do my best to study the theory of magic. I dare say that in the theory of magic, I surpassed my mentor Cantor. ”

"Not bad~Not bad~" Rosen clapped his hands lightly, and then suddenly said: "Hill, I have a job here, and my salary is 1 gold dragon coin a day, will you take it?" ”

Hill's eyes lit up: "Of course I ...... As long as it doesn't make me sell out the academy. ”

Rosen smiled: "That's the case, I have a lot of admiration for Nilogaard Academy, although I have a mentor, my mentor is very withdrawn, and he is obsessed with alchemy to the point of madness, basically not talking to me, let alone teaching me magic. So, I want to study the theory of magic, but you know, I'm from the South...... If you'll give me some theory......"

Hill was silent, as if contemplating.

After a long moment, she gritted her teeth, as if she had made some important decision: "Although this matter is against the laws of the academy, I agreed. However, I took a big risk by doing so, because if the academy found out about this, I would be immediately removed from the academy, so I ask you to pay me 3 gold dragon coins every day! ”

"Deal!" Lawson agreed without hesitation.

As soon as he finished speaking, Vicky, who had been silent, suddenly shouted: "Ah~~~~ Incredible!" Unbelievable! God's wisdom! ”
