Chapter 99: Mark and John
The battle between the two magical creatures ends in a heart-to-head conversation between the students. Rabbit White waved away past Edward, while the Silent Puppeteer ignored John's shouts and walked to the side, holding his chin up in a thoughtful pose. As the saying goes, a master duel is just one move. These few minutes of competition did not satisfy me, but gave me a big question mark.
"I think you must have questions about what just happened. First of all, tell me what you learned from the rivalry between the Rabbit and the Silent Puppeteers. "Mark uses a step-by-step approach to teaching.
Josh said: "They're incredibly fast, but they're a waste of time when they stop. ”
"I guess I'm resting. "Someone in the students explained.
"How is that possible," said Alex, "and although this is a modest competition, as magical creatures native to nature, they mostly follow their instincts to fight. The competition of magical creatures is a life-threatening contest, and if it weren't for the gentlemen, they might have fought to the death. Am I right, Mr. Williams?"
"It makes sense, but it can't be generalized. In the case of a master magician, even if the wild nature is difficult to train, the magical creature will be somewhat concerned about the instructions of its master. In addition to the mage's restraints, the personality of the magical creature also affects this. ”
"This time, neither of them is bound by magic tools, nor is there a soul contractor master, so they don't have to worry about letting go. Or do they really care about causing problems for the person in charge?" asked Yumiko Hata, turning to the boy next to her.
Kojiro Suzuki smiled shyly and replied, "After all, there are students watching the game, and the magical creatures involved don't dare to mess around." ”
"Gentlemen, judging from the battle between the two magical creatures, have you discerned who has the upper hand?"
I think Edward's question is idiotic, but the students are seriously thinking about Edward's boring question.
"At first the two were evenly matched, and then Rui Rabbit had the upper hand?" said one of the students.
"I think it was Rui Rabbit who was no match for the Silent Puppeteer. "I appreciate Josh's surprise," he said, "It must have been at a disadvantage that the Silent Puppeteer was struggling." Alex often deliberately says 'heh, I think you're tired, you need to rest' when he can't beat me, just to make me relax. ”
Alex slapped Josh on the shoulder and almost pushed him onto the girl next to him: "Aren't you the one who sweated profusely during the discussion and said that it didn't match reality." ”
"What is the result?" I want Edward to reveal the truth.
Edward said, "I think about them as they compete, and I don't pay attention to anything. ”
So what questions do you ask!
"Actually," Mark said with a wry smile, "it was the rabbit who had the upper hand throughout. ”
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Pol agreed with Mark.
Everyone in the grassland probably watched the victory, but I think there are only a handful of people who actually saw their fighting moves. Under the influence of the flames, I could barely see clearly, and I was one of them.
"Yi Jia and classmates, what do you say?" let you see that you didn't look carefully, and now you have to transfer the problem to me.
I glanced at Edward coldly, smiled and said to the two teachers, "Although the speed of the two is extremely fast, in this competition, it is indeed Ruitu Bai who has the upper hand. ”
"Wow, Yi Jia and you also have dynamic vision?" Pol asked me excitedly.
"Speaking of which," Alex frowned, "he doesn't wear glasses since Yi Jia and his memory is missing. ”
"Hitting your brain restores your vision?" asked Josh Kojiro.
Kojiro was silent and looked at me quietly.
"Yi Jiahe's eyesight is not high. It's no surprise that magicians in the wizarding world have their sights suddenly restored. Xiao Hui lowered his head, as if he didn't believe his claim. I wonder if this could be a dark mage-specific ability.
The appearance of the soul power allowed me to see things clearly without wearing glasses, and even more clearly than before, maybe more than five or three. It's not a camera, and my eyes certainly can't focus on things. Also, I can't see the microbes in nature like I can with a microscope. That's good, at least I can convince myself that I'm still a normal human.
"Anyway, what I've seen is that the Silent Puppeteers have to defend under Shiro's successive attacks. Although it is not necessary that the Silent Puppeteer can't beat Ruitu, in terms of speed, Shiro is undoubtedly faster than it. ”
"Unbelievable," John yelled at me to notice that he was there, "that fat rabbit is faster than my housekeeper?"
"Body size is not everything. In anime, there are often scenes where a bulky person defeats a well-built person with quick movements. ”
John, holding his head to the sky, opened his eyes and looked at me, with something in his eyes.
"Anime, is that the cartoon that airs on TV?"
I resisted John's glowing eyes and replied, "Anime refers to anime and manga." It's okay to say it's a cartoon......"
"Anime!" John, who had been distressed for a long time, was now in a state of excitement, and ran up to me, grabbed me by the shoulder and said to me, "Is this the greatest invention of the human world?"
If I'm going to take an over-the-shoulder fall, I'm going to throw crazy John out.
"Mr. Walker, weren't you going to tell you an interesting story about your trip around the world?" a classmate requested.
"Hehe, if you want to say that you are traveling around the ordinary world......"
"Mr. Kim, you can lean aside and listen to Mr. Walker, but please don't stand in our way. A girl's words pierced John's heart and left him stunned.
Dragged by Edward, John came to his butler and crouched down to draw circles on the grass like a child. I am very worried about what a strange childhood John's son will have with such a father.
Putting aside for the time being from discussing the magical creature competition to listening to Mark's account of the experience of traveling around the human world, I sat down next to Xiao Hui and looked at Mark, who was sitting on the ground with us. Such a scene has the atmosphere of listening to the elders tell stories around the campfire, but there is neither a bonfire nor a night, which makes me feel a little pity.
"What do you want to hear?"
"All. ”
My answer caught the attention of my classmates, but I ignored them.
"One class is not enough time for me to talk about all my experiences......"
Seeing that Mark was embarrassed, I put the two proposals of "how many classes will be taught" and "simply talk about them one by one" in my mind, and said to him: "Mr. Mark, tell me about your affairs in the academy." ”
After the request was spoken, I realized that the option that Mark had proposed to us was his experience of traveling around the world. I thought that my classmates would look at me again, but I didn't expect them to agree with my request.
"I'm not a person who likes to talk about the past. However, since the students are looking forward to it, I will talk about it. Well, where do you start?"
"Save time, Mark, tell me how you met John. ”
"Yes," said the girl, who was honored to have joined me, "Mr. Walker, you are very knowledgeable and well-informed, but Mr. King is ...... I'm curious how you get along so well. ”
Mark smiled brightly, and many girls were fascinated.
Turning back from John, Mark recounts, "John King and I met in second grade. At that time, the academy did not have such a complete self-service deposit and withdrawal system as it is now, and the soul summoning system had not yet come out. Because everyone's soul equipment is different, some big and some small, many students have to work hard to move their huge soul equipment from one place to another. Later, some students didn't even bother to move the soul device, and kept the soul device in the paradise of their class until graduation.
"John and I officially met at the Soul Selection Ceremony. I remember that at that time, Lord Magic Mirror's evaluation of John seemed to be deficient in all aspects, but each had its own merits. Because John's registration was late and he was late to meet his classmates, everyone's impression of him was not very good. Coupled with his upright personality of occasionally recklessly contradicting his classmates but not realizing that he had done something wrong, he was once disgusted by his classmates. ”
"Isn't that Josh from our class? ”
The brown-haired classmate looked at his friend Alex with his clear brown eyes, and retorted, "How can I be disliked by everyone?"
After Josh finished speaking, a few students behind him smiled contemptuously, but Josh didn't see it.
"It's very important to live in harmony with everyone. Bullying has been happening in our college just like the rest of the world – it has decreased now, and there were a lot of it then, and as your seniors, I sincerely hope that you will work together and work together. ”
The students nodded to the teacher's agent either seriously or perfunctorily.
"What happened?" I urged.
"With the intention of making friends with John, I greeted him and explained my intentions, and the guy immediately accepted my request. Probably, he is a man who doesn't have many friends. And that's exactly what happened.
"I asked him why he didn't change his personality so that his classmates would accept him. John replied to me that if he was to follow the herd blindly, he might as well never have friends. 'It's going to be lonely,' I asked him. He replied to me, 'If anyone can accept me like this, he will be my friend for life.' It may seem strange to say this myself, but I think I am his friend in his mind. ”
Mark turned to John again. This time, his classmates also looked at John with him. The father of the one-year-old child squatted on the grass like a child and tirelessly drew circles. Then, as if tired, he got up and stretched his arms and yawned.
"Don't look at him as a hanger, in fact, he is a very careful person. We travel around the realm of ordinary people, and we have to spend our minds so that ordinary people don't find out that we are magicians. One day, he told me about magicians – there is a class of people in the ordinary world who make a living by their swift tricks and interesting devices. Although they do not have the breath of a magician, their actions give us a revelation of how to live in the mortal world.
"As you know, the Ministry of Magic strictly prohibits magicians from using magic in the mortal world, and violators of the order will be punished strictly if they are discovered, even on the spot. Living in the ordinary world must not let ordinary people know that we are magicians. For our dream of traveling around the world, we learn magic tricks and then perform on the streets.
"It was a difficult time, but under the careful teaching of our master Harry, we achieved a lot. On the day of the rising of the glorious sunrise, we bid farewell to our master with a gift of one dollar sok coin, and embarked on a journey around the world. ”
"Let me say this," interjected Edward, "as long as you do not convince ordinary people that you are a magician, the strict orders that Mr. Mark just spoke of will have no effect on the magician." Analyzed on a case-by-case basis, the Ministry of Magic in our wizarding world is not an institution that judges others without evidence. If you learn how to erase the magic of memory, you will probably be able to live as an ordinary person in the mortal world. ”
Seeing everyone happily discussing, Edward, who had been planning for a long time, poured cold water and added: "It seems that you don't seem to know much about this, so I, the teacher of the black arts class, will popularize science for you." There is a time limit for using magic to erase memories, which is related to the strength of the magician. It is not difficult to erase the memory of an ordinary person, but it is not so easy to erase the memory of a magician. ”
"So," Edward said with a wicked smile as he turned to me, "Yi Jia and classmates, your amnesia should have nothing to do with the magic of erasing memories. ”
I knew it wasn't a good thing, it turned out that his target was me from the beginning.
"Is there a magic tool to erase memories?" I asked.
Edward put away his smile and frowned, then replied with a slight snort, "Yes." However, this kind of magic equipment is restricted by the express provisions of the "Magic Equipment Use Restriction Treaty", and it is forbidden to use it arbitrarily, even we teachers are not allowed to borrow it at will. ”
My feud with Edward was put aside. Now I just want to listen to Mark tell me about what he and John went through.
Mark ...... Sir, do you remember when we first met in the Stone Forest, when I saw you because I found a stone statue like Easter Island. If it weren't for those strange rocks, I'm afraid we wouldn't have met. "Of course, it would be a different matter if you commanded the Silent Puppeteers to come after me.
"What's wrong?" I asked Mark.
"Nothing," said a surprised Mark with a smile, "I was just surprised that you would know about MOAI in Rapa Nui." ”
“MOAI?”
"It's a big stone statue on Easter Island, called Moai. It is heard that they were built so that the spirits of the island's important people can still monitor the tribes that live there and bring them good luck. However, many of the island's moai now seem to have been rebuilt to attract tourists. Even so, there are countless people who want to go to Easter Island to see the beautiful scenery. ”
"When it comes to moai, it is natural to think of the Giants of Barth, after all, they are all tall. ”
"Heh, I think the stone demons are more like Moai. "In my rush to tease Edward, I forgot to ask Bart what kind of magical creature the Giant Bart was.
"Speaking of the stone demon like Moai, the last time I went to the Strange Stone Forest, didn't Dean Fang meet a stone demon who died following her? ”
Ah, my stone devil......
"What, do Yi Jia and her classmates want the stone demons that Mr. Mark said?"
"You'd better wash and sleep. Even though the stone demons in the Stone Forest are special, magical creatures like this will not be easily acquired by mages. It followed Dean Fang, and that was because Dean Fang was kind-hearted and powerful. ”
Damn Edward Williams, tease me in a different way, are you too toothy?
"After going to Easter Island, John and I went to a country with foggy capitals. There we heard of a writer who wrote famous magic and wanted to visit her. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet her, otherwise we'd love to talk to her about her thoughts on magicians. ”
Wait, let's say the writer Mark is the one I know...... Could it be that the wizarding world is connected to my original world? I was not involved in a different world, but I just entered the other side of the unknown original world? Perhaps, I will reunite with my family and meet my classmates and teachers in a place called Yixiang District, Anzhou City, in the ordinary world where there are no magicians? Strange, in this way, what happened to Ma Chao, Xiao Hui, and Yu Jingjing? Also, why are Fang Dongyan, Liang Kairong and others who died in the original world in this world?
There were more and more questions, and I was terrified until I was woken up by Xiao Hui, and I knew that the first class of the morning had ended. Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "Don't Forget the Blessing and Misfortune of the Past Book House" for free for the first time.
