It's night. In the Phil Tower.

There are 10 bedrooms in the Phil Building, one on the right side of the living room on the first floor, six bedrooms on the second floor, and three bedrooms on the third floor, each with its own toilet, but only one bathroom on each floor.

There is also a library room on the second floor for students, but the shelves are empty at the moment, but Kenneth found a note on a desk, which seems to have been left by the fourth-year seniors who have graduated from the previous residence, and it reads: Good luck, rookies.

On the third floor, in addition to the bedrooms, there was a semi-indoor and semi-outdoor balcony, on which Kenneth and Mick stood looking down on the surroundings of the college, and after a while of the wind, they couldn't help but feel much more comfortable.

In the end, Kenneth chose Room 201 on the second floor, and Mick chose Room 202 opposite Kenneth. Kenneth wanted to choose a bedroom on the first floor, but Auston told him that someone had already taken the lead, and that he seemed to be a senior who had failed to graduate. As for Alston himself, he chose room 303 on the third floor.

By the time Kenneth and Mick had finished tidying up their rooms, it was already dark, and there was a chiming owl hanging at the end of the corridor on each floor, and as long as you touched it with mental power, you could know the specific time, and at a glance, you realized that it was almost 19 o'clock, and the sun was about to set completely.

There are 360 days in a year, and there are no seasons, but there are days and nights, and each day and night occupy 14 hours each. Originally, human beings lived a life of sunrise and sunset, but when humans mastered how to use magic, they were able to accurately grasp the position of the sun in the sky and the four holy stars through wind system space magic to determine time, so they had the concept of time, such as hours, minutes, and seconds. Later, people also used magic to train some animals to tell the time accurately, so there was a creature called the time owl.

Just as the two of them went downstairs together to go to the cafeteria to fill their stomachs, they smelled a tempting fragrance coming from the kitchen, and then the two were stopped by the smiling Auston, who saw him wearing a white apron when cooking, holding a big spoon in his hand and inviting the two of them: "Since it is the first time you meet, why don't you try my craft?" It's just for you to catch the wind and wash the dust. ”

Kenneth was quite happy, but Mick looked at Mick, who was also a nobleman, with worried eyes, and asked, "Auston, are you sure that your cooking skills are really good?" ”

In response to him, Auston smiled brightly: "I promise to let you say goodbye to the cafeteria." By the way, I tried it and it's definitely 'unforgettable'. ”

For some reason, Auston seemed to like to use rhetoric, and Mick naturally understood, but poor Kenneth always took it stupidly and asked curiously, "Really?" ”

Alston choked, then tapped Kenneth with a spoon and said to Mick, "Is Kenneth playing dumb?" ”

Mick couldn't hide his smile, "I'd love to say yes, but I'm sorry, Kenny is so stupid." ”

"Mick, who do you think is so stupid!" Kenneth jumped to his feet in anger and pointed at Alston and said, "Really, you can't talk well, can you?" ”

Auston shrugged with a smile, moved his nose slightly, and exclaimed, "Oh no, my steak!" ”

"You can sit in the living room first, and in half an hour you will be ready to eat." With that, Auston ran back to the kitchen.

Kenneth said to Mick, "It seems that we can't live up to his kindness." ”

Mick nodded, and Kenneth sat down side by side in the living room with two outside seats, where Auston already had the fork he had prepared for the two of them, waiting to taste Auston's handiwork.

Kenneth felt tired and hungry, resting his head on the table with his fork in his hand, looking in the direction of the kitchen from time to time.

Mick sat upright in his chair, folded his hands on the table, looked at Kenneth and asked, "Kenneth, do you have any plans?" ”

"Huh?" Kenneth tilted his head, his big black and white eyes full of puzzlement, "What are you going to do?" ”

"You've got such a mentor, don't you have any plans?" Mick hates that iron doesn't make steel.

Kenneth suddenly realized: "You said this, anyway, tomorrow will be fine, let's go to the school office and ask, can we?" If it really doesn't work, then let Professor Duncan be our mentor. ”

"But he ......" Mick didn't know if it was right to say that about Calvin, after all, everything about Calvin was from Auston's mouth, and hesitated, "I always felt that something was wrong with him......"

"It's okay, Mick, you don't have to think about it so much," but Kenneth shook his right hand with a relaxed face, although it didn't look like anything, Mick knew that Kenneth was talking about the dragon ring in his hand, "I can feel that Hephaestus is about to wake up, and who better than him as our mentor?" ”

Mick's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he bit his lower lip again and said, "That's ...... All right? I'm not the hero chosen by the dragon, can I really learn magic from Hephaestus? ”

"What's so bad about that?" Kenneth rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't we say yes?" If you're just an ordinary sixth-order magician, how can you defeat the Demon King with me? ”

Kenneth only said something unintentionally, but when it fell on the sensitive Mick's ears, it was extremely heavy: even the strongest sixth-order magician in the human race could not stand by Kenneth's side. This pressure, along with Mick's own mission, weighed on Mick's heart, causing Mick to become increasingly anxious, but Kenneth was completely unaware of it.

"Down with the Demon King? What does that mean? But Auston suddenly appeared in front of the two of them with two plates, and asked curiously.

Kenneth and Mick were shocked, and Mick hurriedly covered up and said, "We're talking bad about Professor Duncan!" Kenneth also compared him to a demon king, saying that he wanted to defeat him. ”

Auston smiled, put the two plates with lids in front of them, looked at Kenneth and said, "Kenneth is really innocent." ”

Kenneth pursed his lips as a default, but after opening the plate, his eyes lit up and said, "Wow, is this really what you did Auston?" ”

I saw a pan-fried steak on the plate in front of me, and small tomatoes and endive were placed on the side to decorate. The steak is thick, crimson in color, slightly charred around the edges and top, and topped with a shiny black pepper juice, which is appetizing to the nose with a rich meaty aroma.

Auston pulled the chair closest to the door and sat down, urging the two who were already drooling: "Eat quickly, although it is a little burnt, but I heard from the servant of the house that the northerners have a strong taste, so it should not matter." ”

The two of them immediately got to motion, and Mick knew how to tie his napkin, but Kenneth just stuck a fork on the steak and gobbled it up, forming two extremes of Mick's elegant way of eating.

Auston looked at the two of them behaving in such diametrically opposed ways, folded his hands on his chin, and asked with interest, "Are you two friends who grew up together?" ”

Kenneth shook his head, but couldn't speak because of his mouth full of beef. Mick swallowed a small piece of beef and wiped his mouth with a napkin, then said, "I met Kenny when I moved when I was six years old. ”

Alston's eyes flashed: "Moving? In other words, Mick you weren't originally from, um, a villager in Tushan Town? ”

"It's Tushan Town." Mick corrected, "Well, our family was originally in Luther City, and it was only because of some changes that we moved to Tushan Town. Maybe it's because I'm an outsider, and none of the kids in the town like to play with me, and only Kenny wants to be near me, so for me, Kenny is like my own brother. ”

Auston nodded thoughtfully, a look of envy in his eyes.

At this time, Kenneth finally swallowed his mouth full of beef, and said dissatisfied: "Why don't they like to play with you?" I'm obviously bullying you! If it weren't for me, you were almost pushed into the river by them! ”

Auston looked at the two and smiled, "No wonder your relationship is so good......

Mick blushed and no longer wanted to discuss the subject, so he asked Auston, "Auston, is there no one else in this Phil Mansion besides the four of us?" ”

"Of course, there will be others coming, after all, there are still two days before the official start of school. There are about 50,000 people who are qualified to enter the school. Since the selection was announced at noon yesterday, I also relied on the blessing of my family to get to the top of the ranking, so that I could move in last night. ”

"What the hell is this entrance exam?" Kenneth asked curiously.

"Of course, it's the elemental affinity and mental power strength, not only the elemental affinity, but even the spiritual power must be at least the strength of a first-order magician," Auston said, shaking his head, "It's really 'loose' enough." ”

"Is this still loose?" Kenneth's eyes widened and he said, "The strength of the first-order magician's spiritual power is also very high, okay?" ”

As soon as Kenneth finished speaking, he saw the helpless gaze in Mick and Auston's eyes, so he slowly reacted and asked, "It's the other thing again?" ”

Mick and Auston nodded in unison, and Kenneth couldn't help but complain, "Auston, you think there's something wrong with the way you speak." ”

"Kenny, I think you're having trouble understanding your language," Mick snickered, "and you really need to read more books." ”

Kenneth decides to bury his head on the last piece of meat and ignore Mick.

Mick shook his head, cut a steak with a knife, and then put it in his mouth with a fork, and the aroma of the meat and the rich aroma of black pepper juice immediately spread in his mouth, making him intoxicated.

When Auston saw Kenneth swallow the last piece of meat, he turned around and brought a basket of bread and a pot of coffee from the kitchen, and asked the two of them, "Would you like some coffee, this is what I found in the kitchen, it seems to have been left by the seniors, or is it a high-end product from the province of Elenor in the Andela region!" ”

Kenneth had never been used to coffee, so he asked, "Is there milk?" ”

Auston shook his head and said, "I haven't bought it yet." If you want to drink it, you can go to the market and buy it yourself and put it in the 'fridge'. ”

Kenneth nodded, then took the coffee from Auston, took a sip and stuck out his tongue from the bitterness, picked up a piece of bread and devoured it.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement at the door, and the three of them followed the sound, and saw a yellow-haired man with a chicken coop head hobbling into the living room, and then Kenneth and Mick heard Alston greet the yellow-haired man:

"Senior, you're back."
