Chapter 106: Peter K. Lawrence
Magicians are powerful and mysterious, noble and great beings.
Even in the bustling towns, they are rare to see in their wide cloaks and hoods—magicians prefer to spend their time studying magic, accumulating knowledge, and meditating to enhance their magical powers.
And in the remote villages, they are heroes who can only appear in various legends.
I'm going to be a great magician, too.
After the boy saw that the group of powerful monsters that had almost destroyed the small village he lived in were easily wiped out in the hands of the man in the black cloak, whose back did not look tall and broad, he made such a wish in his heart.
As you can imagine, the boy was so excited when he received the offer of admission to the National Academy of Magic from Julianne!
But reality soon dealt him a heavy blow - the tuition fee required five gold coins to enroll.
Five gold coins were nothing in the eyes of a wealthy merchant or a magical family, but the boy was just a child of an ordinary peasant family, and if he saved a little money, five gold coins would be enough for their family to live for a whole year.
Just as the registration time was approaching and the boy's heart was becoming more and more lost, his parents raised enough money for him to attend the school with five gold coins.
How many jobs did he work with his life through gritted teeth, how many people borrowed money to raise five gold coins? The boy didn't know what to say.
Looking at his parents' hair, which had turned half gray in just a few months, the boy held back tears and accepted the gold coin, which was full of blood, sweat and bitterness. Embarked on a journey to study.
Except to study hard and become the kind of magician who stands on top of people, the boy can't think of any other way to repay his parents.
The majesty of the Illian National Academy was an indelible blow to the hearts of the boys who had left their homeland for the first time—and only a magician could have built such a majestic and wonderful building on the mountain.
This is the sacred place of the magicians who were born in Julianne, is this the place where she will stay for three years?
At this time, the pale words could no longer express the excitement in the boy's heart and his vision for the future.
In the beginning, the boy studied in the academy with great interest, mingled with his classmates, and even made a few good friends—such as the one whose surname was Dursley. A boy of the same age as him.
However, the blow of reality has come again.
The boy has a talent for magic, but it's a pity that it's magic and elemental affinity. Mental power, comprehension ability, and so on, all kinds of magical qualifications are just to reach the qualification line.
Originally, magicians were rare beings. Powerful magicians tend to appear more in pure-blooded magic families, and it is already very good to have a qualified level of magic qualifications for a boy whose ancestors have not shown any magical talent at all. As long as you continue to study in this way, you will be able to take a leave of absence after being promoted to the second grade, and you will be able to obtain a certificate of suspension for the second year. Then you can find a place in the middle of nowhere, and apply for the lord's worship mage.
Many magicians from the countryside will follow this path after the most disgrace.
But the boy didn't want to do that.
Obviously, it was not easy to get the qualification, and it took so much effort for my parents to let themselves enter this castle, did they fall down so easily?
Absolutely not!
So the boy desperately began to study on his own, trying to understand everything he couldn't understand and couldn't learn in class through self-study.
It's a pity that no matter how hard you try, the last thing you do is still useless.
Talent, hard work, intelligence, and a little luck are all four indispensable if you want to learn magic.
While others are studying, boys are studying hard. Boys are studying hard while others are having fun, and boys are studying hard while others are eating...... At all times, the boy desperately squeezed out his time, just to read even one or two more words.
…,
But even with his efforts, the final result remained the same—except for a few people who didn't see magical talent at all. His results are still only at the end of the crane.
If the outcome hasn't changed anyway, is there any need to keep trying?
So the boy gave up, and he began to give up on himself, and the guilt of his parents gnawed at his heart like an ant, and finally his mind, blinded by that uncomfortable feeling, began to envy and resentfully those who had magical talents.
And then. From one night on, he kept having the same dream.
He was in a pitch black environment where he couldn't see his fingers, and there was a faint silhouette of a human figure not far in front of him, but where it should have been an eye, there were two red points of light, which made the boy feel strange and indescribably afraid.
What the hell the black figure said, the boy couldn't remember every time he woke up.
But the only thing that is certain is that the other party has only one meaning - 'If you want to have more power than a magician, then come to me!' ’
Beyond the power of the magician, this phrase made the boy feel incredible, but somewhere in his heart there was a faint expectation.
This dream lasted for half a month, and the boy finally couldn't resist the temptation of the strength of the force, and slipped out of the mountain city on a Gowen Hora day while the professors were relaxing.
Then he followed the feeling that something was calling to him, and after walking for kilometers, he suddenly fell into a pitch-black space.
There, many bats converged into a human shape.
At this time, the boy was no longer the rural boy who knew nothing about the outside world when he first left the village, he knew very well that he was dealing with a vampire, and that he was able to completely turn his body into a bat, at least a vampire at the level of an earl.
"Want to get the amount of force? Do you want to gain a level of power that even those with the best talent can match? ”
The other party didn't care about the boy's hostility, but used an irresistible tone to bewitch: "Or are you planning to take a leave of absence in the second grade, or even be expelled from school because you failed the promotion exam?" ”
His words shook the boy's heart.
I came to this academy with the expectations of my parents, in case I was really dropped out......
The boy could even imagine the disappointed looks in his parents' eyes and the smiles they forced to comfort themselves.
In that case, even if you degenerate into a vampire, please give me strength! You won't lose to the Magician's strength!
The long, sharp canine teeth bit through the arteries, and the boy could feel the blood being drawn from his body, and just as his vision began to blur, a wave of energy that was completely different from magic rushed into his body.
The first embrace ceremony was completed, and the boy became a member of the nobility of the night.
The vampire, who had become the boy's 'parent', smiled, not the smile of an elder, but a scalp-tingling sneer that seemed to have succeeded in the plot.
The boy regretted it.
He was calculated by the other party without checking the information about the vampire's first possession in detail. Although he also gained great strength because of the other party's prince-level status, he completely handed over his life and death power to the other party.
Even if the other party has a thought, they can make themselves disappear.
He told him to continue infiltrating the academy and then waiting for an opportunity to get clues to the Lange treasure from Dursley, and retrieve the treasure for his 'parent'.
I don't know if Lu Dao had expected it a long time ago, or for some other reason, the talent that the boy gained after becoming a vampire was concealment, and he could hide his vampire aura, which meant that as long as he was careful, even the strong Lyrian Academy would be difficult to detect that a student under his nose had become a vampire.
With his life in the hands of others, the boy could only obey him and re-infiltrate the Lyrian Academy.
…,
However, when faced with his former friend, he hesitated again.
It was at this time that the boy's eye was drawn to a young girl.
It's not that she's beautiful or rich, but because she, like him, has a flaw in magical talent.
And the girl's flaws are obviously more fatal, and even being promoted to the second grade has become a luxury.
However, even so, the girl has never given up her efforts, and has been immersed in the sea of books, absorbing all kinds of knowledge.
If I had noticed it earlier, I might have become friends with her who licked each other's wounds, and I wouldn't have walked this path myself. The boy puts the other person on the same level as himself with his subjective consciousness, and pays more and more attention to the girl while shirking the orders of the 'parent' under the pretext that he has no chance.
It was at this time that an inexplicable guy was born.
He became a guest professor as a mere junior mage, and he was a high-profile presence in the academy, possessing all sorts of elusive abilities. He was well received by most of the students, and even some professors were full of praise for him. Although he himself was unaware of his teachings, in fact, there were already groups of his followers among the students.
It's simply a paragon of genius.
The boy inexplicably has a feeling of disgust for him, and this feeling is amplified a lot when he finds that the relationship between the other party and the girl has somehow become very good.
After some time, the boy noticed that although the girl seemed to be avoiding the other, her eyes were involuntarily attracted to the figure at all times.
It's like falling in love.
"Okay." The resentment and disgust in the boy's heart overflowed like that, he looked at the figure with hatred, and then expanded his hatred to the entire academy: "Let you have a good look at my strength, now I am not the tail of the crane I used to be!" ”
"Immerse yourself in the horror of blood! Take me Peter? In the name of K. Lawrence! ”
