Act Seventy-Four: The Court of the Darkest
The next day, Rhine got up earlier than the cadets who were on duty to clean the courtyard, and he hurried to the octagonal tower before the light of the stars was covered by the rising sun.
In the cold breeze halfway up the mountain, the young man's mind entered a particularly clear realm.
He walked up to the top floor and looked through the half-hidden door. Frenica sat down in the only chair and rested, a small black fluffy blanket over her, and it was evident from the slightly curved corners of her mouth that she had slept soundly.
The young man quietly walked over to Frenica, lowered his head and looked at her secretly, just like Harrest often peeked at the female classmates in the bounty union.
He never thought he would do such a thing, but he really couldn't help but do it just now.
[Frenica's stubbornness and kindness forced Rhine to want to know her better. 】
"Little Rhine, are you getting bolder?" Frenica slowly opened her eyes and smiled at Rhine standing next to her, in fact, she noticed it when the boy came in.
In front of Rhine, Frenica is now like a young girl, completely devoid of the appearance of a professor. Whether it's real or pretended, Rhine likes her very much the way she looks anyway.
"This year, let's just spend it together, shall we?" Rhine is here today to say this. "I want you to train me, sharpen me, and help me become stronger."
"But I'm a professor at Blackstone Academy, is it really okay for you to dominate me alone like this? And what do you want to do when you get stronger? Frenica was actually very happy.
[From the moment Rhine said "Happy Birthday" to her, her dusty heart was shaken, and in the last moment, she wanted to do what she wanted to do. 】
"This Blackstone Academy has been dominating you for so many years, and if you intend to let me occupy it for a year, they really have nothing to complain about." Rhine insisted on spending the year with Frenica, but he didn't answer what he was going to do in the future.
Frenika suddenly noticed that Rhein's hair was already over her shoulders, "Aren't you getting your hair trimmed yet?" ”
"I'll keep it until it's as long as the sword in my hand."
"What a quirky habit!" Frenica held out her hands and motioned for Rhein to pull her up from her chair.
Rhine took the hands again and pulled Frennie to his feet.
"I'll take you to the dean, and when you get there, I'll leave it all to you?" Frenica stretched, showing off her [world] figure.
Rhine looked at Frenica, who was about the same height as herself, and she was very beautiful no matter how she looked at it, maybe this is the so-called "because I like it, so I am right".
"Don't look at it, you'll see enough of it this year! And...... If you want, I'm always available to you...... Anyway, I only have a year left, and that's all I can do last......" Frenica rubbed herself against Rhine, blushing and showing a shy expression.
"You must have done it on purpose...... "Rhine finally couldn't stand Frenica's bullying and spoke out to stop her.
"Nonsense...... How can there be such a coquettish girl in the world? I must have done it on purpose, don't you like it? Frenica suddenly turned back to her original form, looking at Rhine with the indifferent eyes of a Blackstone Academy professor.
"Don't do that, you're still 'on purpose.'" After Frenika became a professor, Rhine didn't dare to look at her.
"Humph! No! Frenica said no, but "deliberately" went back.
"Where is the secret medicine you developed, can you give it to me? I don't want you to touch that thing again. Rhein asked, looking at the room full of materials.
Frenica nodded without hesitation, she had already given up on that study anyway. She took out the sealed jar of red liquid from under a cabinet.
"Is this little can all there is?"
Frenica nodded obediently.
"Don't destroy these, give them to me." Rhein walked into the jar and tried to pick it up.
"Why?" Frenica was a little surprised, and immediately stood in front of Rhine and didn't let him pass.
"Maybe this will work for me, I want to see if this thing can make my bloodline awaken." Rhein explained, and told Frenika to "trust me" with her eyes.
"Do you want to follow in my footsteps?"
"I don't die so easily, don't worry."
Rhine wanted the jar anyway, but Frenica didn't want to give it. The two suddenly confronted each other in the laboratory.
"I still have a small bottle here, this one is for you, and the big one will be destroyed." Frenica said as she touched another bottle from her body. "That's all, really!"
Despite her explanation, Rhein stared at her with suspicion......
"If not, I'll ruin this too?"
"To ......" Rhine was defeated in the end, who told him to face Frenica, who was two grades stronger than himself.
Rhine reached out and took the vial of pink liquid that Frenica had handed him and hid it in his pocket.
"Where do you put it? Don't you even have a storage wizard? Frenica was worried that the pink liquid would spill out, and the Rhine was infected. If that's the case, he died too unjustly.
"What is a magician? I'm from the countryside, and I don't have anything on me. Rhine shook off his clothes and was ready to accept alms.
"I'll give you one!" Frenica pulled out a small wrist from her storage mage. "Perfect and rare, worth thousands of gold coins, just like that, I'll give it to you for free."
Originally, Rhine wanted to say, "I'll pay you back", but after thinking about it, if he said so, Frenika would definitely say, "It's all dying people, why do you want your money!" ”
Rhein took his wrists, put his hands around Frenica's waist, and hugged her tightly.
"Take advantage of me and take advantage of me...... You're not a little bold! ”
Rhine didn't speak, because Frenika was telling the truth......
After arguing with the two for a while, Frenica picked up the large jar of "blood" and walked out of the research room, where Rhine followed the meeting.
Frenica looked down from the octagonal tower, there was not a single student on the empty black slate, and everyone was diligent on the training ground at this time, and the lazy ones slept in the dormitory.
"Give, throw as high as you can." She handed it to Rhein.
Rhine took it, and without looking too much at the miraculous potion, he threw it out towards a higher place without hesitation.
"Wow!"
Rhine exerted all his strength, and the jar made a cracking sound, sending a ripple of air to the sky.
When the jar was about to reach the point of sudden stop, Frenica waved her hand, and a red light chased the jar, smashing it to pieces.
High in the sky, a large red mist suddenly burst out. However, the red mist did not descend, but sublimated directly to a higher place.
It's all over, and Frenica, who has been stubborn for years of research, now turns into a cloud of red mist and flies high into the sky.
"Starting today, you're reborn." Frenica said to herself blankly.
Rhine looked at Frenika next to her: pretty, kind, cute, and understanding. He may have understood what liking is, but the first person he liked could only live for a year, which made him lose the courage to confess.
"Let's go, let's go find Dean Patch."
Frenica sighed in relief, then turned and walked under the octagonal tower, Rhine hesitantly following.
............
Patch's office was on the top floor of the archbishop, and Frenica had brought Rhine here.
The old dean was writing something with his head down, and he was not surprised by Frenica and Rhine's sudden visit.
"Dean, I ask to practice alone with Frenica for a year." Rhein walked ahead of Frenica and spoke directly to the dean who was writing.
When Patch heard this, he stopped the pen in his hand, "Well, Frenica, you can take Rhine to the Darkest Cliff on the back of this Blackstone Academy to practice for a year." The old man didn't even lift his head.
"You agreed so easily? What about the students? Frenica asked.
Dean Patch raised his head: "I will tell them that you have gone to retreat and meditate, and as for Rhine, I will tell you to be the logistics." ”
"In this last year, I'll give you a long vacation." Patch said, his voice shaking.
Rhine looked at Patch's strange appearance, it seemed that he also knew Frenica's situation, and he asked that superfluous sentence last night, but it was for them to be Destiny.
A sense of powerlessness came over Rhine, but his fists tightened.
"I'm going to say goodbye to my roommates, Professor, and you can wait for me in front of the Octagonal Tower." Rhein said and ran out.
