Chapter 012: Opening Ceremony
After a full day's sleep, Grant was also woken up by a reluctant voice.
"Someone's coming! Someone's coming! ”
Next to the snow-white bed, there was a gray-black piece of wood with many circles on the surface, and there was a fist-sized hole above it, which made a crisp childlike voice like a little boy, and the voice had a hint of mischievousness.
"BNOSH (Still)"
Grant closed his eyes, chanted a still incantation, and then shut his mouth on the piece of wood.
Shanga Philadelphia, a magical wood. No matter how many pieces its bodies were cut into, they could clearly understand each other's condition, and once made by an alchemist, the core wood that was left over whenever someone outside the door wanted to enter. Because mages need a quiet environment in certain situations, there will be no sound when they knock on the door.
"At this time, it should be Tenfil or Taylor, but Taylor seems to be a little scared of me, and he hasn't spoken to me much, it seems that most of them are Teffel."
Grant sighed secretly, got out of bed in a gorgeous pajama robe, and when he walked to the door a few steps, he saw Terfil, who was wearing a white robe and had a slightly nervous face, standing at the door, she had her long silver hair hanging high behind her head today, and her blue eyes were like jewels staring at Grant.
"What's the matter?" Grant asked, confused.
"I don't think you've been back for days, and I thought something had happened to you. By the way, Taylor and I have visited her mentor these days, but her mentor is super cold now, like cold ice. I didn't think it was too interesting, so I came back to see if you weren't there. By the way, a teacher at the academy told me. Tomorrow at 9 a.m. will be the opening ceremony. ”
"Oh, I know that. If you don't mind, come and sit down, I'll tidy up a little bit, and I'll go down to breakfast with you later, I know the food in a bakery is good. ”
"Thank you then." Teffel smiled and twisted her waist into Grant's room. The few days of living alone and the super indifferent environment around her made her a little unbearable, so she also wanted to come to Grant to relieve the panic in her heart for a while.
After a brief breakfast, Grant and Tiffel walked through the Shadow Elementary College teaching area and the field area. The complex complex made it difficult for Tiffel to walk through several times.
And so it was the next morning.
Before dawn, all the mages in the Black Tower had risen early, and they all knew that today was the opening ceremony of the three semesters of the year, representing the three stages of the basic discipline of apprenticeship.
It was still dark dawn, and the morning star in the east still shone brightly and brightly, and in many places in the corridors around the tower, there were clouds of pale blue water balls suspended in many places, and they forced away all the shadows in the surrounding environment, revealing gray-white paths leading to other corridor areas.
A quiet stone road. On the calf-high green grass on either side was a group of mages in robes, and there were more than a dozen of them, talking and laughing as they walked, and they also divided into small groups with each other. The distance between the two sides is clear.
There were two female mages and a male mage in the back, who were also there to communicate, while looking at the crowd in front of them.
The male mage has shoulder-length flaxen-colored hair. With a pair of inky black eyes on his fair face, he looked at a tall and gray statue of a humanoid figure tens of meters tall in front of him. A brilliant purple flame was burning above him, and the flame was burning like the brightest of pearls of light.
"Grant. I don't usually see the flame of that statue, I heard Taylor say that there is a statue that I don't believe in, but I believe it now. There must be a large rune array of invisibility spells arranged on its surface, and it is really a waste to consume the energy of the magic stone. ”
"Sister, I said it, you still don't believe me, it seems that you really disappointed me."
The silver-haired sisters were laughing and talking there, their eyes full of affection. Taylor, who was shorter in the back, mischievously hooked Teffel's slender white little hand and shook it back and forth.
Grant smiled slightly and explained: "This statue is the founding of the Shadow Academy, a great mage in the early days, the chairman of the Supreme Council of the Shadow Academy, and also the rule that the Shadow Academy will not join and form forces, but is only responsible for teaching apprentices, and his life time can follow the life of the early mage cluster. ”
"I don't understand it, but it feels amazing." Teffel exclaimed.
Grant looked back in confusion and said, "You don't know about this?" ”
"Of course I know, but I feel that the tone of your speech has a very powerful feeling, I'm just teasing, don't you think your way of speaking is very mysterious?" Tiffel laughed, and the longer she and Grant were together, the more casual she became, as if she were talking to her own sister.
Grant could only sneak with his head bowed speechlessly.
…………
The wilderness area is surrounded by a black metal iron wall, and the green lawn within hundreds of square meters exudes a green firefly light.
Some black-robed or white-robed mages stood on it, and among the mages there was an old mage in a lilac robe, who wore a top-hat, and on his dry and wrinkled face, there were three silver-white veins running from the bottom of his eyes to the corners of his mouth, and the tips of his ears were torn off for unknown reasons, and he became a one-eared one.
Grant stood in the middle of the group of mages, he looked at the group of people in front of him and couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly to probe their situation, because there were too many people, he didn't use detection techniques, but from their appearance, they were identified by their appearance, after all, the memories in the game were basically remembered, like more important characters generally still have impressions.
"I remember that the old mage in the middle seems to be a director of the Shadow Academy, and he is also a second-order top mage who is very likely to become the branch dean, but there is not much impression around."
Grant glanced at the secret words in his heart, and he continued to focus his gaze on the other mages, except for the Snape director he met at the beginning, there were also some mages from the early second order around him, most of them were the directors of various factions, or professors, and they were all the backbone of this shadow academy.
"Hello to the three of you, this is the new teacher who has come to teach this time." Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind.
Grant and Tenfir and Taylor, who were standing on the sidelines, turned their heads sideways, and their eyes fell on a gray-haired mage behind him, who was holding three gray-yellow magic contracts, and a faint elemental fluctuation emanated from them.
"Yes, we all are." Grant bowed slightly and said politely.
Teffel and Taylor also nodded, their eyes falling on the magic contract.
"Hehe, that's good." The gray-haired mage smiled lightly, handed them three magic contracts, and explained: "These are three magic contracts, which represent you to serve as some instructions and constraints for each genus, of course, as a junior teacher, you can increase your income through tutoring, or go to the Mage Alliance to participate in the mission." ”
Grant took the magic contract, and he slowly browsed it from it, and it was a little novel, unlike the game, he didn't have the profession of a teacher, so he didn't know too much, after all, it was impossible to study obscure spell theories and other things all the time in the game.
"Not too many questions, what about you?" Grant turned to ask Tiffel and Taylor.
"Nope."
Taylor and Teffel also shook their heads, and swiped the tip of their thumb against their index fingers, and bright red blood beads dripped from the skin of their white and delicate index fingers, which slowly sank into the lower left corner of the contract, and at the same time chanted a spell, causing the blood to turn into a six-pointed star horn array, which shone slightly twice and quickly turned into fire and disappeared.
Grant followed suit, inputting a trace of his proof into the magic contract, and inputting the idea of the one he had reinforced.
Seeing that the situation was going well, the gray-haired mage also smiled brighter, and he said with a smile: "This is the need to be a teacher within one year, if you continue to serve, you can renew the contract, don't worry, it is very casual and free to be a teacher here, by the way, did you enter your respective departments just now?" ”
"Of course, I'm going to choose the undead." Grant smiled nonchalantly.
"Who is your mentor? There are not too many mages in the undead system, most of them are elemental mages, among which fire, electricity, and earth are the main categories, and occasionally some people study spells and prophecies. ”
"Master Curran." Grant said with a calm face.
The gray-haired mage thought for a moment, as if he knew who it was, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and after a casual conversation with him, Tefir and the others, he returned to a director of the Shadow Academy.
In the branch of the Shadow College, the branch dean is generally the highest, and below it is the head of each department, the professor and the teacher, this hierarchical system, it can be said that under the branch dean, the director directs all management and operation.
After a while, the sky brightened slightly.
The two narrow arches on the left and right of the playground also entered two teams of apprentices, who stood neatly and neatly on the lawn, each forming seven teams, each of which numbered about twenty or thirty people. The appearance can be clearly distinguished, about seven or eight years old.
At the front of the lawn is a gray-and-white stone research platform, and at the back a huge towering statue stands there.
"Ahem, today is the opening day of the Shadow Primary Academy, and it is also the time for a new batch of teachers to arrive, now I will also introduce you to their respective teachers, and tell you about some of the main matters of the Shadow Academy."
The one-eared old mage coughed twice, slowly took a step back, looked at Grant and the others, and his gray-green eyes were full of meaning, which seemed to be to hurry up, it was time for you to perform. (To be continued.) )
