Chapter 119: Value
She sat on the bed and was stunned for a few moments before she remembered to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead with her hands.
……
This is the end of the story of being a member of Edward's family. There was an accident in the "séance ceremony", which had never happened in nearly a hundred years, and the family hierarchy was very angry about it.
It seems that there is something else hidden behind that incident, a conspiracy woven by other Crown families and wizarding groups (including the Magic Tower) to seize the secret of a ritual, or an internal struggle that is beyond the knowledge of the girl at the time.
The place where Willett and the others were cultivated became a "whirlpool". Those responsible for the matter were all punished or dealt with. Someone can leave that place first, but they can only choose to abandon the group of children who remain.
The crowd who was later sent to deal with the matter did not blame the innocent for the crime, let alone have any sympathy and pity, but only did a physical examination of everyone with a notarized and unsympathetic attitude towards the tools.
This time, the procedure is very simple and crude, and members who do not meet the standard of magic qualifications will be eliminated directly, without any support from the training results. Not surprisingly, Welllit, who was not excellent in its own right, fell from its original position as a "qualified product".
The consequence of their elimination is not to return to their original family - at least if the outcome is not settled and the follow-up matters are not dealt with, it is impossible to let these children who may affect the family's reputation and leak information to the outside world.
I don't know if it was a decision from the top, or if it was a decision made by some people to shirk responsibility: Wellright was abandoned in the valley as one of the "substandard".
After that, she was fortunate enough to meet Marion Greene, who was a guest at the Edward's family at the time, and became his student.
Because of this, the witch has always been grateful to Mr. Green deep down.
It's just that she never thought about it deeply......
The witch put her hand on her forehead, and she felt sad, her brow furrowed.
The ending is the same.
This is probably because the people she met when she was a child have not changed in essence from the people she met later.
Everything comes and goes, déjà vu; A cycle of tragedy.
……
At this time, Willett could clearly feel the pain coming from all corners of her body.
Previously blocked by chaotic thoughts, when the girl's consciousness returned to the real world, the unbearable pain returned.
She's had been seriously injured at times, so she understands that this pain isn't normal.
What was the condition of her body under the thick white bandage? The movement of the hands and feet seems to be still there, and there is no problem with other parts of the body; What is abnormal is the more essential place.
For example, the witch has already tried, but is currently unable to use psionic vision or connect to the magic web.
This is similar to the situation when the mana is depleted, but it seems to be different somewhat.
“......”
Violet clutched the sheets, pain coming over her again and again, cold sweat breaking out on her back. Even though she had always been strong, she couldn't help but want to divert her attention.
At this time, the witch finally remembered the last person she had seen before she was sent here, and what that person had said to herself—
The leader of the Great Black Tower, a legendary wizard of equal standing to the former "mentor" Marion Green, Novich Raspuchin.
If that sentence was not an auditory hallucination, or a mistake that he would have misplaced, the adult did extend an inviting hand to himself......
But do I really have that value?
After two outcasts, Willett was no longer so sure of that.
She was denied by her family and teachers, is she really worthless?
She remembered the gaze, the familiar, more than one gaze, the look of pity—
The girl sighed in annoyance and turned her gaze to the sides.
The room was empty, with only white remaining; The walls, ceilings, floors, and windows were clear and empty.
This was to be expected, and no one would come to see him.
Villerit is not very good at dealing with relationships, so she has no friends within the school. If she was really still the chief student, even if it was out of hypocrisy, this ward would become "crowded".
But Willett now knows that she doesn't have the value of being treated like that. I'm afraid that the rest of the school already knows the fact that they have been abandoned.
The witch smiled wryly. At this moment, a bright color appeared in the afterglow.
Villerett turned her head sideways and glanced at the vase on the bedside table. Inside the bottle are fiery red roses, white tulips, and an unknown delicate flower, competing for brightness and dripping.
It is not a gift bought, not a casual perfunctory, but a hand-made flower arrangement artwork. You can see at a glance that the makers love it.
This condolence item made her mood soften.
Poetic ...... At least the only friend hasn't left him.
...... yes, it's not time to give up.
It's just abandoned. It's because it's the second time I've experienced it, so I should have pulled myself together faster, shouldn't I?
If there is still a school that needs her and is willing to accept her, it means that she can continue to stay in this tower, and Willett is glad for this: because this is a sacred place in the hearts of the wizards of the mainland, with rare knowledge from the outside world, and a place to provide resources.
What's more, she has nowhere else to go.
And, Sykodi is still here.
No problem.
She said to herself.
- But will there be a chance that he will be abandoned next time?
Although a shadow still hung over her heart, Villelet forced herself not to think, and she struggled to move her aching body, slowly getting out of bed and putting on her shoes.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside. A white-robed witch walked in. She was surprised and happy to see the blonde girl getting out of bed.
"Are you awake? How does it feel physically? ”
Violet looked up and saw the style of the wizard's robe on the other party's body, and knew that the other party was a member of the Evelyn School.
"I ......"
"Wait, Miss Edward, you can't get out of bed yet, you need to rest a little longer."
"But ......"
"Okay, you'll have to listen to me here."
The witch pulled Willett's delicate and supple body back to the bed with a slightly tough attitude, and then said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen you in person, Miss Edward. But I've heard your name a long time ago, and you're the idol of us witches who aren't good at fighting......"
The witch began to babble to herself.
It seems that the other party is his admirer. Villerett, though a little happy about this, tried to change the conversation back.
She had to hurry. In order not to be abandoned, it is necessary to show the "value" that you have in front of the adult, and to do so, you need to recover your magic as soon as possible.
"When can I start meditating?"
Villerett asked.
Meditation requires the shaman to maintain good physical and mental condition, so in general, the ability to meditate can be used as a measure of recovery from an injured wizard.
However, when she said this, she noticed that the expression on the witch's face had changed.
Moreover, the other party's gaze is gradually changing to "some kind of look" that makes Willett feel familiar......
"Don't you know your physical condition yet?"
After a while, the witch looked embarrassed, and spoke tentatively and cautiously.
