Act Seventy-Eight: Lies and Grief
The news of Frenica's retreat spread throughout the academy in an instant, and the students immediately restarted their discussions after not seeing the professor for a whole day. Only Destiny and Bunobu knew that Frenica was not a simple retreat, and they didn't leak any rumors at Patch's behest.
Destiny sat in the first row of the classroom, holding a quill in her notebook to record the magic circuit, but her thoughts had flown far away. "What the hell did Professor Frenica say to Rhine last night......" she thought to herself.
After the explosion in the play last night, the resentment that had accumulated in Destiny's heart for a long time seemed to have been released, and it was suddenly much happier. But the news that Frenika and Rhein were in retreat together added to her heart.
Buno and Buba sat in the classroom wondering where Rhine had gone, and in the morning they found that Rhine's clothes were missing, but they had not left any news. The two wondered if Frenica had taken Rhine as a closed disciple, after all, Rhine was playing the role of a bad guy and had been trying to save the stumbling professor......
In short, the topic of Rhine and Frenica disappearing together must have been going on for a long time in this Blackstone Academy.
Frenica had been coming down from the top of Blackstone for more than half an hour, and all this time she had been sitting in Patch's dean's room, and Patch had just been out of class and very idle. The two of them were talking in the spacious dean's room, and the atmosphere seemed slightly cold.
"Do you really want to say goodbye to the students?" Patch sat in the chair behind his desk, and the objection was easily discernible in his tone.
"Well, if you don't say anything else, you won't have a chance to die then." Frenica sat down on the ancient wooden coffee table at her desk and nodded.
"What are you going to say to them?" Patch asked.
"I just want to talk to them......" Frenica thought to herself.
Patch was actually afraid that Frenica would not be able to leave this professorship and leave the Blackstone Academy, so he didn't want her to say goodbye to the students. But since Frenica wanted to meet with the students and explain it, he could only agree.
"Alright then, after the last theory class, I'll gather everyone in the Black Rock Field, you remember to be strong, don't make the students very sad......" Patch lifted his glasses and closed the textbook in front of him.
"Are you still working on your subject?" Frenica asked, glancing at the broken notebook that Patch was holding under her hand.
"I'm as stubborn as you are...... This sixth-order knight magic has spent all my life energy, and I will construct it before entering the coffin. Patch looked down at his notebook and smiled bitterly.
"Founding a sixth-order magic is a matter for a seventh-order powerhouse, why are you so persistent?" Frenica thought it was too hard for Patch.
"Isn't it rewarding to accomplish something that's hard to do......" Patch laughed as if he were happy.
"Old immortal, if I can live a few more years and reach the sixth order, I will definitely be able to help you construct this magic!" Frenica said indignantly.
"Don't think about anything this year, just relax and relax. Then you should also temper that kid, look at the breath of his body, he will definitely be better than me in the future. Patchy gave Frenica the last task of her life.
"You person who is about to step into the coffin with half a foot, don't work too hard!" Frenica was always disrespectful when she spoke to Patch, because she knew that Patch didn't care about that.
"Okay, it's almost time, I'll go gather the students for you, you can say whatever you want!" Patch stood up and walked out with a small bell.
The moment he stepped out of the dean's room, a bell rang throughout the academy.
Frenica stood on the high platform in front of the Black Stone Field, and after a while, the students quickly gathered in front of her. They stared at Frenika standing on the high platform, and an inexplicable sadness welled up in their hearts. There is a feeling of a teacher hiking, and the lights of peach and plum are thousands of miles away. Or the peach and plum do not speak, and the meaning is self-contained.
Frenica looked at the students below and was a little reluctant, she dedicated her best youth here, and these students were carefully taught by her.
The two sides looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Students! I feel like I'm about to break through the sixth-order level and step into the realm of a great magician! So I decided to go into retreat for a year and devote myself to meditation! ”
Someone starts with a quote, someone starts with a word, and Frenica chooses to start with a lie.
When the hundreds of students on the Black Stone Field heard the news, they immediately let out a burst of cheers, but then immediately fell silent.
"Students, I'm leaving in a while, do you have anything to say to me?" Frenica looked at everyone as if they didn't want her to go, and her heart suddenly became melancholy.
"Professor Frenica, thank you for teaching me the Holy Light Charm, after learning this magic, I can heal myself if I am injured!" One of the male students below immediately said loudly.
"Professor, thank you for teaching me a lesson last time, and he hasn't bullied me since!" A girl's words were greeted with a burst of laughter, and a male student named Watt in the crowd lowered his head in shame, "Isn't that bullying you because I like you......"
"Professor, Professor, maybe I'll be gone when your retreat is over, but I'll come back to visit you and all the teachers of this Blackstone Academy when I have the chance!" The strong student who fought with the Mandate of Heaven last time also said goodbye loudly.
The students below slowly had something to say, and for a while they couldn't hear what they were talking about at all.
Frenica looked at the many students below, and her heart swelled with relief, her careful teaching was finally not in vain. The War College, which was originally a training blade, was influenced by her and turned into an ordinary family.
"Everyone is very good, and when you go out in the future, you have to work harder!" She finally looked up at the sky in dismay.
"It's just a retreat to say goodbye, Professor Frenica, don't cry." Someone below looked at Frenica's look a little overwhelmed.
"But after this retreat, I won't see you again!" Frenica could only shout in her heart, unable to convey this sentence to everyone.
"I'm sorry, I'm so happy to see everyone doing well!" She finally said this sentence, which cannot be counted as a lie, it is what she wants to say in her heart.
"Most of us are protégés of the nobility, commoners who have been ordered to learn skills, and it was the Blackstone Academy that received us and taught us something more important than force. When we go out in the future, we will never abuse force to oppress civilians, and we will never disregard human life and become the most vicious criminals! One of the next student representatives said these words at the urging of everyone.
These are the words that Frenica wants to hear the most, and the students can understand them.
There is nothing more common than this.
"Frenica, let's go...... If you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't want to leave! Patch looked at the more and more active students and whispered a nudge beside Frenica.
"Cadets, no matter what the result is, see you in a year!" Frenica thought that in a year's time, there would be a lot of students at the festival.
The girl turned around and rose up, heading towards the top of the Black Rock Mountain, unable to bear to look at the student beckoning to her.
Lies and sorrows, choose one. Frenica still chose a lie.
How much panic can a person say in this life?
Countless.
If you don't lie, can you live well?
No way.
Do all people have to tell lies in this life?
No, if you can handle the grief.
