Epoch 2005, winter.

That year, there was a lot of snow in Phoenix, and it was just winter, but the streets were already covered with thick snow. Probably because it was so cold, there were no pedestrians on the streets.

"Hmph, you're ice magic, aren't you?" A girl who looked to be about eight years old was standing with her back to the alleyway, her tone very arrogant and arrogant.

She was surrounded by a few small followers, also a few girls who were about eight years old. And their target is to be surrounded by them, a girl who looks much younger than them, about five years old.

"Hmm." The little girl nodded, her voice faint, as if she was afraid of the girls in front of her. I think I am aware of their unfriendliness.

The girl wore only a thin blue tulle dress with a blue-white gradient belt fluttering gently in the breeze. The clear eyes are as clear as ice, but without a trace of coldness.

The small body stood upright in the cold snow, but she didn't see a trace of shivering because of the cold.

On the contrary, the girls around her were all wearing thick winter clothes, but some of them shivered because they couldn't stand the cold.

This winter, it's much colder than ever, as if something big is about to happen.

"Hmph, how about we have a competition?" The girl in the lead spoke again. However, everyone can see that she is actually a drunkard who does not mean to drink, and she is simply determined to trouble the little girl.

The girl is a student at a nearby academy and studies fire magic.

"I ...... I don't fight. The girl's voice trembled a little with fear. Fire and ice are the truth, this is a truth that everyone understands.

What's more, she has only only been exposed to magic for a short time, and if she fights, she will definitely have no chance of winning, so she will not fight them.

Moreover, that person also said that magic is used to protect the people he cares about, not to fight.

"Hmph, I can't help you!" How could a girl let go of a girl so easily, she had been unaccustomed to girls for a long time.

The girl often wore this blue light gauze dress and dangled around the neighborhood. It's just an ordinary dress, but it steals her limelight every time. And it's winter, but she's still wearing that blue dress, and she doesn't look cold at all.

When the girl thought of this, her heart swelled with infinite unwillingness and jealousy. Today, she finally found an opportunity, and she must teach this girl a good lesson.

"Flame Duel!" The girl took a step back, a ball of fire condensed in her right hand, and then quickly struck at the girl in the middle.

The girl was not slow to react, and instantly used magic to create an ice shield, temporarily resisting the girl's attack.

It's just that her spiritual power is still shallow, not to mention that she is still the one who is restrained, so she didn't last long before the ice shield was shattered.

The shattered ice slag hit the girl's fair arm exposed to the air, cold and piercing.

"Hmph, that's all you do." The girl spoke out contemptuously, and when she saw the girl trembling because of the cold just now, she felt very relieved.

The girl ...... silent, just squatting in the corner without speaking, as if she could warm herself up.

"Hmph, don't think you can get away with it by not speaking." Once again, the girl stretched out her right hand mercilessly, "Flame Decision-"

The girl originally thought that she would definitely die this time, and in such a cold situation, she was attacked by fire magic, and the damage was definitely more than three times higher than usual.

However, the expected pain did not come, and the girl slowly opened her eyes, which had been closed since the beginning because of the cold.

What suddenly appeared in front of me was a small figure, a little boy who looked to be about six years old.

At that moment, the girl felt as if the boy was emitting a magical light, bringing her a subtle warmth in this cold winter.

He appeared like a hero in her life.

The boy's right hand is still steaming, and he should also be a fire magician. Just now, he must have saved himself.

"You, who are you!" The girl really didn't expect that someone would come to make trouble, and she was angry and a little afraid at the same time. After all, judging from the magic used by the boy just now, the boy's spiritual power is definitely above her.

"Don't you feel ashamed of so many of you bullying one!" The boy's slightly immature timbre is incomparably sonorous and powerful.

"It's my business with her, you can't take care of it!" Girls don't show weakness, even if the other party is stronger than themselves, but they can't lose to each other in terms of momentum. This is a family motto!

"Boss." A girl next to her trembled and tugged at the corner of the leading girl's clothes, and then whispered in her ear, "He...... He seems to be the eldest young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Mubei. ”

The girl was surprised: "What?!" ”

She didn't dare to think that the boy in front of her was actually a member of the two major families of Fengling.

In addition to the Ye clan of the royal family, Feng Ling is also known as the Murong clan and the Xiao clan of the two great families. The heads of the two families are one scholar and one martial, and they can be described as the empress's right-hand man.

No one in the entire Phoenix City dared to provoke the people of the two great families, after all, they couldn't afford to offend. Of course, in addition to those who dare not offend, there are also many people who try to climb the high branches.

"Hmph, you're amazing. I won't let you go next time! Let's go. The girl's cruel words were naturally said to the girl in the corner. The current situation is definitely unfavorable for them, and everyone knows that the people of the two great families cannot be provoked, so leaving is the only wise choice.

After the girls left, the boy turned to look at the girl: "Are you okay?" ”

The girl had long black hair, which was not tied in two ponytails like other girls of the same age, but simply draped over her shoulders.

There seems to be a clear lake flowing through the black eyes, which makes people feel extraordinarily clear.

"It's fine." The girl shook her head, then began to look at the boy in front of her carefully. The boy, like the girls, wore a thick down jacket, and a few tufts of hair peeked out of his white hat. The light brown eyes seem to have magical powers, and it is impossible to take your eyes off them.

The boy looked at the girl hugging him, took off his down jacket and draped it over her.

The girl looked at the boy in flattery, and the boy was the first person to be so nice to her, except for his mother.

"Xiaobei! Little North! "There was an urgent cry from a woman outside the alley, it should be the boy's mother.

"If it's okay, just go home quickly, and have less contact with those people in the future." The boy said a few last words and ran out of the alley, "I'm here." ”

"Good boy, where did you go?"

"Didn't go anywhere."

"Where's your clothes?"

"It's gone."

"How can good clothes fall off when you wear them on your body?"

"If it's gone, it's gone."

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to reason with you. Steward Zhang, bring a coat for the young master. ”

The girl just watched the boy leave.

She didn't see him again for the rest of the winter.
