Chapter Seventy-Nine: Inside the Academy

"I'm so embarrassed." A faculty member in charge of greeting him apologized to Mrs. Sharon: "Actually, the academy has already sent someone to greet you, but you missed it. I hope you can forgive me. ”

"It's fine, we've been delayed for a while. It's normal that the person who greeted us didn't find us. Madame Sharon didn't mean to blame, but said kindly, "Rather than this, it's better to take us to Bruno quickly." ”

"Yes, I'll take you to the dean right away."

Although Madame Sharon did not show any displeasure, for a mid-level magician, such a snub to a great magician did make him a little uneasy, and he hurriedly agreed when he heard that the other party wanted to see the dean.

"I'm sorry." As everyone walked along the corridors of the castle, Sivi whispered an apology to Lady Sharon and Evanterine: "It's all because of our relationship......"

Then he gently patted Theo's little head: "Teo, you apologize too." ”

The little girl who had been holding the corner of Xiwei's clothes since she entered the castle first raised her head and blinked her eyes, looking at Xiwei innocently, and then whispered, "I'm sorry." ”

It's really an insincere apology. Alyssa on the side smiled bitterly.

"It's okay, after all, you're my guests." Madame Sharon didn't seem to mind at all, but instead comforted her.

"If I'm really sorry, let's try a little bit in the next lessons." Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said with a smile.

Although Lady Sharon thinks that Sylvy has the qualifications to teach those mage apprentices, Evangeline is not optimistic about Syvi's teaching, but she wants to see Sylvy marked as Lyrian, so she has no objection as long as she doesn't have a big basket.

After the group continued to talk for a while, they came to a huge oil painting that was five meters high and about three meters wide.

The painting is not a beautiful girl, nor a beautiful natural scenery, but a middle-aged man who looks very obscene, and compared to the other ornaments in this castle, it looks very beautiful.

"Teemo open the door, this is the Dean's distinguished guest." The faculty member who led the way shouted loudly at the painting.

"Shut up, you coward who only borrows the name of Master Lange!"

Just when Sivi and the others were still wondering who he was talking to, the obscene man on the oil painting suddenly seemed to come to life, and scolded loudly: "There is a kind of let's fight like knights!" This is what a warrior should do, not hide behind the mage and secretly release cold arrows! And you actually taught those children your cowardice and cowardice! You vile and shameless bastard! ”

Sivi glanced at the red-faced, trembling faculty member—apparently not ashamed, but the result of the shame and anger of being ridiculed in front of the distinguished guest—and then looked at the oil painting that was still swearing and swearing.

"Ghost species?" He guessed quietly.

"You can see it." Evangeline, who was standing beside him, glanced at Sylvie in surprise: "That guy's name is 'Mouthy Teemo', and many people in this academy have been scolded by him. ”

"Because I've encountered ghost species before." Sivi smiled slightly.

It seems that the ghost species named Temo is indeed bound to the oil painting by some kind of force, but compared to the ordinary ghost species, this guy still retains his consciousness, but the hatred for the living does not seem to change, so when he sees it, he will want to scold the other party.

"That's enough for Teemo, that's all there is to it." I don't know if it's because I can't stand it anymore, or if I think I've seen enough, Madame Sharon stopped the oil painting's scolding: "I'm going to find Bruno, hurry up and open the door for me." ”…,

"Isn't this Mistress Lange's sister, yes, if it's your request......" Timo muttered in a vague whisper, and the entire painting slid to the side, revealing the hallway within.

The clergyman seemed to have a stupid mouth, and had been scolded for a long time without being able to find a rebuttal, but now that he had finally come to his end, he glanced at Mrs. Sharon gratefully, and then continued to lead the way.

Soon they were at the door of the dean's office.

The faculty member knocked lightly on the door, "Lord Dean, Lord Sharon, they are here." ”

"Very well, you can step down first." A deep voice came from inside the door.

The clergyman confessed to Mrs. Sharon and hurried away, only to hear another burst of angry shouting as he passed the talkative Teemo......

Mrs. Sharon nodded to Sivi and the others, and pushed the door open.

It was a modest room, filled with display cases filled with various magical appliances and books.

"It's beautiful." Alyssa looked at the ceiling and opened her mouth in surprise.

There was no chandelier or anything on the ceiling, but a bright and magnificent sunset, as if you could see the sky outside without a roof.

Theo was attracted to the people inside: "Alice......"

It was only then that Sivi, whose eyes were drawn to a delicate little instrument in the cupboard that could be used to distinguish the misanthropy of metal, realized that standing at the large desk was none other than the maid Alice they had met not long ago.

The girl was clutching the corners of her skirt, her head bowed, waiting to be reprimanded.

"Long time no see, Bruno." Mrs. Sharon greeted an energetic old man behind her desk.

"Ah, indeed. It's been four months since we've seen each other since the last royal feast, my good sister. Bruno Lange, the director of the National Academy of Magic in Julien, made a look of reunion after a long absence, and wiped the corner of his eye with his sleeve.

"I've brought you a nice professor this time." Lady Sharon didn't care about her brother's childlike demeanor, but gently pulled Sivi over and said, "His name is Sivi Edric." ”

Bruno stared at Sivi, although the old man's loose eyelids had fallen a little because he was very old and did not pay attention to maintenance like Mrs. Sharon, but his sharp eyes still made Sivi feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, this feeling did not last long, and Bruno regained his previous indifferent expression: "It seems that it is indeed a good talent, Mr. Adric, do you have any requirements for your treatment?" ”

"Wait a minute, Master Bruno......"

"Call me Dean."

"Well, Dean Bruno." Xiwei changed his words and continued: "I'm just acting as a temporary guest, so the treatment doesn't need to be too good, everything is simple." ”

It's not permanent, it's temporary. In any case, this point must be made clear.

"That's a shame." Bruno let out a long sigh, as if he was really sorry that Sivi was not a resident professor: "In that case, what do you think about ten gold coins per class?" ”

On the way here, Sivi had intentionally or unintentionally tricked the words of the faculty member, and the average professor had thirty gold coins for a class, and at least five lessons a week.

For him, who is only a temporary guest, only ten gold coins is nothing, and it is just a big deal to take a few more classes.

So Sivi nodded: "No problem." ”

"As for where to stay, there are just a few student dormitories that are still empty...... That's right, Alice. The old man suddenly turned to the girl, who seemed a little more relaxed because he thought that he would talk about his business later.

"Yes!" The girl almost jumped up like a frightened rabbit and replied loudly.

"I already know the reason why you didn't receive a guest, but a mistake is a mistake after all, so punishment is still necessary."

The girl bit her lip and waited for her final verdict.

The old man looked at the girl with her head down, and suddenly showed a mischievous smile from an angle she couldn't see, but then returned to a serious expression, making Xiwei think that he was wrong: "You, you don't need to be a maid of the academy anymore." ”

"Huh?!" The girl looked up at the old man in disbelief.

Do you have to fire yourself because of this mistake? A huge sense of loss fills the girl's heart.

However, the old man said, "During the time that Mr. Adric is still in the academy, you will be his exclusive maid." ”

"Huh?!" "What?"

This time, not only Alice, but even Sivi showed a surprised expression.
