March 29. Friday.

Today is the basic magic class, and when everyone in the Phil Building walked into the magic basic class classroom together, they saw the students in the classroom pointing at their own people and avoiding them.

The group of seven people found a place in the third and fourth rows and sat down, and immediately some of the students picked up their books and changed positions, obviously deliberately avoiding them, as if they were carrying some kind of plague.

Kenneth and Brandon didn't realize anything was wrong for a moment, but the others reacted quickly and sat down with puzzled expressions on their faces, not understanding what was going on.

At this moment, Jasmine walked to their seats and greeted everyone with a worried face, "Good morning, everyone......

Mona gave Jasmine a warm hug, then asked in a low voice, "Jasmine, has something happened?" ”

Jasmine pursed her lips nervously, and then pressed Mona's ear and said, "It seems that someone is spreading rumors, saying that everyone in the Phil Building disregards the safety of the academy and insists on keeping demonic beasts in the dormitory area, threatening the safety of others, and they still don't obey the arrangements of the student union and contradict the student council president. That's why people are deliberately alienating you. ”

Mona nodded, pinched Jasmine's little face wrinkled because of worry, and said, "Don't worry, everything will pass." You just have to go to class with peace of mind. ”

Jasmine bit her lip, as if she wanted to say something, but nodded anyway and returned to her seat.

"Big guy, we seem to be in trouble." Mona turned to the crowd and said.

"Oh, what's the trouble?" Brandon sat in the front row, then turned his head and asked.

"Haven't you noticed the attitude of the other students towards us? It's really sluggish. Auston, who was sitting across Kevin from Brandon, rolled his eyes.

"Really? Why didn't I feel it? Brandon looked around, and when greeting the classmate who also chose Professor Samuelson as his mentor, he noticed that the other party deliberately avoided his gaze, so he touched his head and said, "I seem to feel ...... now."

Mick looked at Mona and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

So Mona relayed Jasmine's words to them, and said with a slightly stunned face: "It seems that this should be done by the whistleblower, it's really a bad job." ”

"Then how should we pay homage to him......" Alston smiled, sending a chill down the spine of Kevin, who was sitting next to him.

"Isn't that easy? I'm going to go to that guy named 'Rickon' and ask him about it! Kenneth said nonchalantly, getting up and looking around, but he didn't see Ricken.

Mikla gave Kenneth a handful and said, "People obviously don't want to deal with us head-on, what are you doing if you have nothing to do?" ”

"I ...... Eh, isn't that the guy? Wait, I'll go and make it clear to him! Mick looked out the door and saw Rickon and his two roommates walking into the classroom laughing and talking, and then looking around him, where was Kenneth?

I saw Kenneth walking towards the three Rickon menacingly, blocking them in front of the door, looking at the leader Rickon and saying, "You are Rickon Luther?" ”

At this time, Rickon was wearing a school uniform and robe, with the school emblem pinned to his chest, no different from ordinary students, he was still telling jokes with Heath, but suddenly saw Kenneth appear in front of him, and was stunned after hearing Kenneth's words, and then smiled and replied: "I am, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Kenneth saw that Ricken was so humble, and he had the illusion of seeing Mick, and his momentum stagnated, but he still said strongly: "The rumors in the school now, did you let them out, just so that we can hand over Ming?" ”

Rickon listened to Kenneth's words and thought for a few seconds, then looked up and asked, "I have a few questions, please answer them for me first." First, what are the gossip in schools? Second, why do you think I'm spreading rumors? Thirdly, who are you talking about? ”

Kenneth saw that the puzzled look in Rickon's eyes didn't seem to be fake, and frowned, "Isn't it you?" Who would that be? ”

"Hey, who do you think you are? Dare to block our way? Hurry up and get out of here, we have class to go! But Heath behind Rickon pushed Kenneth, his hands were wearing white silk gloves, a crimson tunic with white openwork and wavy decorative silk scarves and shirts on his chest stood out against the black vest, and his lower body was bright red leggings and knee-length white socks, and he stepped on a pair of rather elegant black leather boots. His gorgeous dress completely compares to Rickon, who is also a nobleman around him, and is more like an earl's eldest grandson.

It's just that Heath's push not only failed to push Kenneth, but was pushed back by Kenneth, so he couldn't help but say, "Where are you from Diaomin?" How dare you be so rude?! ”

Kenneth glared and said, "You guy is so unreasonable, you blamed me with your first move?" ”

"Heath, stop." Rickon glanced at Hiss blandly, then at Kenneth and said, "I think there must be some misunderstanding in this." ”

"What's the misunderstanding? At noon that day, you and your attendant were the only ones who saw us walking out of the magic technology lab with Naruto, who else could you report it to the student council? Kenneth asked Ricken regardless of the geology.

Rickon nodded, glanced at the somewhat flustered Hiss behind him, and said leisurely, "Indeed, in your opinion, this matter may be as you say I did it......

Mick had already walked up to Kenneth and pulled Kenneth and said, "Kenny, so many people are watching......"

Rickon glanced at Mick, didn't know what to think, but nodded to Kenneth and said, "That's right, I did everything you just said." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Kenneth and Mick, but even Hiss behind Rickon was stunned.

"But if you want me to apologize or stop there," Rickon said as he looked leisurely at Mick behind Kenneth, pinching his chin with his left hand and smiling, "just let this friend behind you have a magic contest with me, and if he wins, I'll promise you." ”

Kenneth and Mick froze again, Kenneth looked at Mick behind him and asked, "Mick, is that okay?" ”

And Mick's chest couldn't help but rise and fall for a while, and his face kept changing, but finally he looked at Ricken and said, "Okay, I'll compare with you!" ”

"Heh, you've finally spoken to me, haven't you seen me in a long time, Mick? If it weren't for your blue eyes, I almost didn't recognize you, and I really didn't expect to see you again. Rickon looked at Mick and greeted him like an old friend.

"Less nonsense, where are you going to compare?" Mick was upset and irritable, and his tone was not good.

This couldn't help but make Kenneth glance at Mick more, and he always felt that Mick was very different from usual.

"Tonight at twenty o'clock, the underground magic practice ground of the Jones Pavilion, I will wait for you there." Rickon didn't care about Mick's attitude towards him, chuckling.

Rickon then staggered with the three behind him with Kenneth and Mick, found his roommate who had taken his seat, and sat down in his seat.

"Heath, you owe me an explanation." Heath had just taken his seat beside Rickon tremblingly, when he heard Rickon's cool voice, Rickon was thirteen years old, not yet in the period of voice change, and there was still a hint of immaturity in his voice, but it had begun to take on majesty.

"Ray, Rickon, I ...... this" Heath panicked and began to rack his brains to try to find a plausible excuse.

"I'll talk about it later. And," Rickon curled his lips as he looked at Mick and Kenneth, who had been driven back to their seats by Professor Sophia, and whispered, "finally again...... Mick Luther ......"

Confused, Hiss spent the morning in a state of anxiety about the basics of magic.

————————

After lunch. Phil House.

The five boys sat on the couch, and Kenneth told everyone about Rickon's engagement with Mick, who looked at Mick in amazement, but Mick remained silent.

Kenneth nudged Mick's shoulder and asked, "Mick, do you know that Ricken?" ”

Mick glanced up at Kenneth, but didn't answer.

Auston was proficient in human affairs, and at a glance he could see that Mick seemed to have something unspeakable, so he naturally changed the topic and said, "Mick, are you sure about the evening competition?" ”

Mick rubbed his palms, then shook his head and said, "No, all I can say is try my best." ”

"I didn't expect it to be Rickon's doing, strange, he doesn't look like that......" Alston wondered.

Brandon said angrily: "I don't know people but I don't know my heart, and you don't know him very well, how would you know that he is actually such a sinister villain?" ”

Auston wanted to defend Rickon, but he had to give up, after all, he himself admitted that he had spread the rumors, and this kind of villain behavior really made it difficult to justify him more.

"But since it's certain that Rickon is behind us from keeping Naruto in the academy, then Mick will be much easier if you can beat him in the evening competition, otherwise it will be ......," Auston said with a solemn face.

Mick nodded slowly, "That's right, if you lose, Naruto's affairs will be even more difficult." ”

Kenneth didn't expect that the first commission of the Ministry of Security would involve so many things, and scratched his scalp and said, "Why is this so difficult to do?" ”

Hearing this, Auston smiled, shook his head, and said, "Kenneth, there is never anything difficult in this world, and there are always people who are difficult to do. ”

Kenneth thought for a moment and nodded approvingly, while Brandon snorted.

At this time, Kevin stretched out his wand and wrote in the air, "Mick's wizard rank? ”

"Yes, Mick, what rank of mage are you now? It's supposed to be just a first-order magician, right? Brandon asked.

Mick shook his head and said, "No, I already became a second-order mage before school started. ”

Everyone present showed surprise except for Kenneth, who had already known, and Auston looked at Mick and repeated in disbelief, "Mick, you are already a second-order magician?!" ”

"It's just that I've learned a second-order magic, and it's not a real second-order magician." Mick said without arrogance, "But Rickon was already a second-order magician at the age of ten, plus his birth, he can access much more magic than me, plus the gap in magic equipment, so my chances of winning are still not too great." ”

The conditions that determine the strength of a magician are not only talent, but also wealth, gems, magic arrays, and magic wands all require a lot of money to support, and Mick, who is only from the viscount family, naturally cannot be compared with the earl's grandson.

"I'll be sure to cheer you on in the evening!" Brandon to Mick Road.

"Hope you win." Auston said.

Kevin simply wrote, "Come on! ”

Kenneth reached out and pressed Mick on the shoulder and smiled, "No problem, Mick will win!" ”

Mick pulled out a smile, but felt a heavier weight in his heart.
