Chapter 44: Is Henry Cheating?
"I had an adventure, and now I'm more than level 1. Because if I want to continue teaching at the Shotoku School, I must obtain a special magic teacher qualification certificate, and this qualification requires teachers to have at least the strength of an intermediate magician, and today is the last day to get the certificate, so I must test the magic level immediately. That's all, I'm sorry for you! Henry explained quickly and briefly.
He was very afraid that his relationship with Donny would be seen through by Sri and them, although he knew that Downey was likely to have shown his feet just now, but he couldn't help it, he didn't know if he could make amends, so he could only wait for the situation to improvise.
Downey thought for a moment and finally understood Henry's hint that the purpose was to get him not to say too much and not to expose their relationship. So he smiled and said, "Oh——, congratulations." ”
"Thank you!" Henry politely replied.
"But I remember that any school only requires magic teachers to have ordinary qualifications, and this qualification doesn't have any magic level requirements!" Downey asked.
"Now that the policy has changed, it's hard to explain!" Henry sighed.
"Oh——! So......" Downey said in surprise, "could it be specifically for you?!" ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and showed surprised expressions one after another, wondering what Donnie wanted to do, was he curious or gossiping?
"This ......," Henry explained, a little embarrassed, "it should just be a matter of perfecting the rules." Anyway, it doesn't matter to me, I can get an intermediate magician certificate. ”
He didn't know what medicine to buy in Donnie's gourd, so he had no choice but to help Shengde and himself hide the embarrassing truth.
"Oh——!" Donnie pretended to be in a state of realization, "That's it!" …… In fact, you got your qualification certificate back then, but it shocked the members of the magic union across the country. We've been researching and figuring out what you're all about, but we've never found a single and clear answer. ”
"Makes you laugh! I'm just studying hard and being proficient in magic. Henry was embarrassed, but there was a faint sense of pleasure in his heart.
"Don't be modest, your story was a national story back then. You should feel honored and should not have any guilt or shyness when the rules allow you to get your qualifications openly. Donnie encouraged.
His sudden words moved Hatsune Miku and Evelyn when they heard it, and it also made Sri and Vivian depressed after hearing it.
"Thank you!" Henry hurriedly thanked.
However, he thought to himself that this was just a superficial and upright appearance, in fact, if he didn't have a backstage, even if he had qualifications, he would still not be able to enter the Holy Virtue.
"That's it!" Donnie nodded, "I'm going to go to the counter to sign first, and then you can follow me to the martial arts arena next door for testing." ”
With that, he walked to the counter.
He wasn't curious, gossipy, or stupid. Even if you want to hide the truth about their good relationship, you can't suddenly pretend to be a stranger and don't talk anything, which will be self-defeating and appear that he wants to cover up, because the fact that they have known each other for a long time has been exposed at the beginning. He could only go with the flow and say a few polite words to Henry, and test it by the way to see if he guessed correctly.
Sure enough, Henry was in trouble, and his two colleagues weren't happy!
However, he was a little annoyed, and he was too careless at first, not knowing if it would show his feet and then have a negative impact on Henry.
Henry looked at Donnie's back and sighed, this Uncle Donnie was a little careless, but also very witty. Donnie was very good to him for his father's sake!
However, Sri and Vivien are not so stupid and must have seen it, but this is a magical guild, and they have some scruples. He always felt a sense of foreboding, afraid that they would later attack his relationship with Donnie.
After a while, Donnie signed his name and asked Henry to go to the jousting ring with him. So Henry and the gang followed Donnie out of the room.
Sri watched them leave, standing still and looking thoughtful.
Vivien knew that Sri had something to say, so she asked, "Director, what do you think?" ”
"According to common sense, it is absolutely impossible for Henry to reach the strength of a middle-level magician all at once, and then get a super-grade magic teacher qualification certificate." Sri looked serious and analyzed.
"Then why is he so confident, as if it is easy to get a qualification?" Vivian said.
"I think he's trying to play some trick, you have to keep your eyes peeled to see if he cheats or something." Sri admonished.
"Oh-" Vivien looked at her with a sudden realization, "it seems that his nature is hard to change!" ”
"Moreover, the high-level magician who is responsible for testing magic knows Henry and has a good relationship." Sri said meaningfully.
Vivien was taken aback and said, "No matter how good the relationship is, he is also a magical union that represents justice and authority, so he won't help Henry cheat, right?!" ”
"It's hard to say...... "we want to take precautions, so I'm telling you to wipe your face and help keep an eye on it." ”
"Oh, I see!" Vivien nodded, "I see, I know what to do." ”
"Well, let's go." After saying that, Sri walked quickly to the door.
"Okay." Vivien followed closely behind Sri.
……
After a while, Donnie and Henry were in the arena.
It is a large indoor venue with plenty of seating all around. There are a variety of regular patterns on the walls that are full of artistic sense, and when the competition is played, it can provide an effect bonus to the enchantment.
There are several small rooms on one side of the venue for resting, working, storing props, and so on.
At this time, they were in one of the houses.
There are many strange carvings on the walls and floors, and there are many magic stones.
The atmosphere in the room was very tense, and even Donnie felt a little uneasy for some reason, always feeling that today's work would not pass smoothly and safely. It was clear that he had been influenced by Henry's hint.
As soon as Donnie entered the house, he stood on the periphery of a magic circle, chanting incantations, stretching out his hands, and injecting magic power into the magic circle. The similar circular pattern on the ground glowed white and became brighter and brighter.
In the middle of the magic circle stood a stone pedestal, and in the middle of it was a magic stone that tested its magic power.
Although Henry had often been exposed to this kind of thing before, after awakening his soul, it was the first time he had seen this kind of enchantment and magic array and other related buildings, so he couldn't help but look around and admire these buildings and magic arrays.
Because of this, his mood relaxed a little. He reminded himself that his knowledge was thoroughly studied, and if theory worked, practice could also be done.
