Chapter 19: Roommates Get Together
"Kenneth, Mick, you're back?" Auston greeted them with a smile when he saw the two of them coming in through the door, but his face sank again when he looked at the shabby boy.
Kenneth and Mick went into the living room after changing their shoes, Kenneth looked at the shabby boy and asked Auston, "Auston, is this ......?" ”
I saw that the shabby young man in front of him had yellowish skin, obviously from the south, not too tall, about 150 cm, slightly thin, and his face was ordinary, but the edges and corners were clear, and his eyebrows were thick, full of perseverance. He wore a coarse cloth long-sleeved shirt on the top, a pair of spacious linen trousers that reached the knee below, a pair of tattered straw sandals on his feet, and a suitcase that was not too large beside him. It was obvious that he was not an aristocrat, just an ordinary commoner's child, but Kenneth felt a strong sense of intimacy in him, and guessed that he might also be a peasant child.
"He's also our roommate, Brandon Gale, but apparently a roommate who doesn't like to follow the rules very much." Auston has some yin and yang strange airways.
"Oh, isn't it because you pretend to be a noble boy who has too many rules?" But it was Brandon who sneered.
Mick gave Auston a strange look, although they had just met, Auston was not like a nobleman who judged people by his appearance, but was polite, so he asked, "Auston, what's going on?" ”
I saw Auston pointing to Brandon's straw sandals and said angrily: "I asked him to change his shoes, but he just refused, and called me hypocritical." Mick, tell me, whose words make sense? ”
Mick looked at Brandon's straw sandals and frowned, "Brandon, I think it's cleaner to change into slippers, right?" ”
Brandon raised his eyebrows and said, "These shoes are not dirty, why do you need to change them?" ”
Kenneth looked at the gray carpet on the floor and saw that there were no footprints on it, so he asked Brandon curiously, "Then why do your shoes look tattered?" ”
Brandon blushed, looked at Kenneth, who also had a little southerner characteristics, and said, "Can't you wear it for too long?" ”
Kenneth didn't think there was anything wrong with this, so he persuaded Auston: "Everyone has different habits, maybe Brandon just thinks straw sandals are more comfortable to wear." ”
Auston seems to be very unacceptable to sloppy things, in other words, he has some cleanliness, even if he knows that Brandon's straw sandals will not stain the carpet, but he still feels dazzling, and after looking down at the straw sandals, he can't help but say, "Can't you really replace it?!" ”
"Sorry, no! Gentleman! Brandon snapped. For some reason, Brandon also seems to have a lot of dissatisfaction with Auston, and his eyes can't help but fall on his silver hair.
"......" Auston knew that his reason was untenable, so he could only see out of sight, and "kick and tap" upstairs in his slippers.
Brandon looked at Auston's back and couldn't help muttering, "The young master of the aristocratic family is just difficult to get along with......"
Kenneth patted Brandon on the shoulder and said, "I don't know why Auston cares so much about your shoes, but he's not a bad guy to get along with, and he cooks a good meal!" Introduce myself, my name is Kenneth Lancelot, you can call me Kenneth, and this is my best friend, Mick Hilud. Nice to meet you, we'll be roommates from now on. ”
Perhaps because of his appearance, Brandon had a good impression of Kenneth, and nodded to Kenneth with a friendly smile: "I'm also glad to meet you, as for my name, you already know my name." Kenneth, you're also Southerner? ”
Kenneth shook his head and said, "I was born in Lutheran, but my father is a southerner, and he seems to have been born in Geraldine. ”
saw Brandon surprise and said: "What a coincidence, I came here from the Geraldine region!" ”
Kenneth also happily patted Brandon on the back and said, "Haha, I really didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, very good, then we are brothers, can I call you Bran?" ”
"Of course, can I call you Kenny?" Brandon was also happy, and was instantly conquered by Kenneth's self-acquaintance.
"Haha, that's great, my friends call me Kenny. Come, I'll help you carry your luggage, and you'll live next door to me, how about it? Kenneth said enthusiastically, helping Brandon lift his suitcase while pushing Brandon upstairs.
"Good! But I'll take the luggage. Brandon was embarrassed.
"Hey, since they're all brothers, don't be polite to me, let's go, I'll help you tidy up your room, this dust is a lot of miles!"
"Really? Thank you so much! ”
Mick watched in amazement as the two of them squeezed upstairs enthusiastically, and could only shake his head to admire Kenneth's superb ability to deal with people, and silently swallowed back the "hello" on his lips.
————————————
At eight o'clock the next morning, Kenneth and Mick made an appointment to visit Lutheran Tower, and Kenneth wanted to call Brandon, but he didn't expect that Brandon was still sleeping, and he seemed to be too tired from the journey. So the two of them had to go on a trip, and when they went downstairs and smelled the smell of toast again, they looked at each other, and saw that the table in the living room was already laid with cutlery, a pot of coffee, a basket of toast, and three kinds of jams.
Xu heard Kenneth and Mick coming downstairs, and Auston, who was wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen, still holding a jug of milk in his hand, exuding a rich milky aroma, and said to Kenneth: "I went to the market near the college to buy it for you this morning." ”
"Wow, Auston, if you're a girl, I'm going to love you!" Kenneth hurriedly took his seat and gave Auston a thumbs up.
Auston disagreed, put the jug in front of Kenneth and said, "Kenneth, if I were a girl, I think I would have to say sorry to you." ”
Mick sat down opposite Kenneth with a smile, looked at Kenneth with a puzzled face, and said, "Kenny, Auston is thinking you're not handsome enough!" ”
Then I saw Kenneth cast a contemptuous look at Auston, picked up a piece of bread and spread a thick layer of strawberry jam, took a bite and said, "Auston, you are really too superficial to see my meaning at all. ”
Auston ignored Kenneth's narcissistic words, and saw that only Kenneth and Mick were going downstairs, and asked a little awkwardly, "What about that person?" ”
"Which one is that?" Kenneth quickly eliminated a piece of bread, and by this time he had already picked up the second piece of bread, and looked at Alston with black and white eyes and asked.
If it hadn't been for yesterday's relationship, Auston would have felt that Kenneth was pretending to be stupid, and looked helplessly at Mick, who was smiling, and had to pick out: "What about the Brandon?" ”
"He's so tired, he's still sleeping!" Kenneth opened the blueberry jam and spread it on the bread, took a bite and frowned, then still smeared a layer of strawberry jam and stuffed it into his mouth, and his brow immediately relaxed. Sure enough, the strawberry flavor is the best.
"Hmph, people are ......still lazy," Auston muttered under his breath, and then sat down to eat.
After a while, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"I'm coming," but Mick rushed to the door, opened the door and saw that it was Calvin, thinking of himself and Kenneth visiting Calvin's lab at night last night, so his voice couldn't help but be an octave higher, "Deng, Professor Duncan?!" ”
Mick's voice startled Calvin, and his body shook and said, "Morning, morning, Mick...... What's wrong with you? Surprised to see me? ”
"Oh, yes, oh no, no, that, Professor Duncan, what are you doing here early in the morning?" In the end, Mick chose to ask directly.
Calvin pointed to the room and said, "Why don't you invite me in for a seat?" ”
"Oh, okay, Professor, please come in!" Mick hurriedly stepped out of the way, then took out his slippers from the shoe cabinet for Calvin to change.
After the two walked into the living room, Kenneth and Alston were also taken aback, got up and greeted, "Good morning, Professor Duncan!" ”
"Hello, well, it's delicious, are you eating breakfast? You don't mind adding me one, do you? Calvin asked with a smile.
"How so? You may be seated, Professor. Auston hurriedly said, while Mick poured Calvin a cup of coffee, and then couldn't help asking:
"Professor Duncan, you're here ......"
Calvin took a slice of bread, was silent for a moment after hearing Mick's question, and then said, "First of all, I want to apologize to you two little guys, I don't think you know yet, but I will be your mentor for the next four years." In this college, I am a professor who is about to be fired, and I once had an accident that caused my student to be a normal person again. ”
Calvin glanced at Kenneth and Mick, but he didn't see the look of anger, only curiosity in his eyes, so he smiled bitterly: "It seems that you already know about this." You can be angry with me, and I will accept any kind of rebuke. ”
"Well, Professor," Mick said helplessly, seeing Calvin's eyes closed in fear as if he was about to be beaten, "what we want to know is, why don't you give up that research?" Isn't that an iron law of the wizarding world? ”
Calvin, on the other hand, slowly opened his eyes, and said with a fanatical look: "It is precisely because it is an iron law that it has the value of being broken, Mike." Every time the iron law is broken, it means that humanity is one step closer to the truth of magic. Before Li Delan, no one thought that it was possible to cast spells with both hands, but what about the result? And I believe that I can also break the world's perception like him. ”
"Professor Duncan, you look so handsome right now!" Kenneth pointed at Calvin and complimented, half-eaten bread in his mouth.
But Mick was much more sensible and went on to ask, "So are you going to waste four years of my and Kenny's time for your research?" ”
Duncan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Of course not!" Don't look like me now, but I'm also a little accomplished in the field of magic technology! I'm not good at the other courses, but I'm still fully competent if it's just an introductory course. I swear that I will exhaust my life's knowledge to make you two geniuses truly top magicians! That's why I'm here, and I want to ask you, believe me! And if you really don't want to, I will ask the principal for you to change the tutor. ”
Listening to Duncan's emotional words, Mick still looked hesitant, but Kenneth nodded decisively after glancing at Calvin's eyes: "Okay, it's decided!" Professor Duncan, please be our mentor and make Mick and me the top tenth-order magicians! ”
The three people in the audience responded to him with stunned and speechless expressions.
——————————
Although Calvin was almost choked to death by Kenneth's request to become a tenth-order magician, he eventually got the approval of Kenneth and Mick, became their mentor, and untied Mick's knot.
Kenneth and Mick then wanted to see the inside of the Lutheran Tower, but were told that first-year students couldn't enter, so they wandered around the academy.
After these last two days, the occupants of the Phil Mansion finally arrived, but there were only eight in all. In addition to Auston, Captain Vader, and Brandon, whom Kenneth and Mick already know, there are a pair of adorable twin sisters named Mona Janet and Lisa Janet, and a mute teenager named Kevin Lorell (with his name on the school registration card).
Mona and Lisa chose rooms 204 and 206 on the second floor, while Kevin chose room 302 on the third floor to be with Alston.
On the last night, the eight of them had their first meeting in the Phil House, with Chef Auston in charge of the food, and sisters Mona and Lisa helping out. Except for Auston and Brandon, the eight also get along well with each other, and Kenneth mingles with everyone with his natural closeness, which makes Mick, who is not very good at making friends, a little envious.
The last night before the official start of school was spent happily, and Kenneth and Mick's destined college life was not ordinary, and finally officially began.
