Chapter 53: The Truth
David lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and took a slow puff.
"Alan, have you offended someone, and this person is from the South, or he has some power in the South. ”
"Boss, after you say this, I did guess a person, and I have some trouble with him, but it doesn't seem to be so serious. ”
"Hahaha, you young people, are always young and vigorous, and a little thing will fight over it, you know, those who know how to endure and know how to control themselves will become the ultimate powerhouse, far stronger than those who are willful. Alan, you're a good boy, and if someone does get you in trouble, you can come to me when you need help. ”
After David finished speaking, he patted Allen on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
"Thank you, boss, I'll come to you if needed. ”
"Okay, come on, Alan, let's make this drink, and then I'll teach you to play the bagpipes. ”
David blew a paragraph, put down the bagpipes and sang a few more words, the singing was not very loud, but he could hear some vicissitudes.
Young people don't know their troubles, and often sigh that life is not easy, but they don't know that looking back after many years, these times are the most free and beautiful.
Alan listened to it with some fascination. Afterwards, the tavern owner taught Alan to play the bagpipes, and the two sat side by side in the dim light of the tavern, one teaching patience and the other learning attentively, and before I knew it, the night was already late.
On the way back, Alan thought about the events of the past few days, and thought of some of the words that the tavern owner had said, and the truth slowly appeared in his mind. A sneer hung on the corner of Allen's mouth, and he said in his heart, since this is the case, let's see.
Nothing has happened in the academy in the past few days, Alan and Elvis have some magic classes every day, they are doing some small activities with Felicia and Kelly, and with what happened in the tavern before, several people have tacitly agreed not to mention going out to play.
On this day, Dean Kox summoned all the magic students to the auditorium, because Dean Kox had informed Alan and Elvis before, they knew that the old man was about to announce the plan to conduct a joint event with the Knight Academy, which also indicated that the joint event was about to begin.
Elvis was excited, he seemed to be able to attract him to anything but a magic class, and he didn't know what the tavern owner had said before. Alan couldn't get excited, but was a little uneasy, thinking that he would find an opportunity to tell Elvis the possible causes of the previous two incidents, and with him to consider and prevent together, some things would be more well planned.
The students sat scattered in the auditorium of the college, with several members of the senior class sitting at the front, and the intermediate and junior classes behind them. Compared with the Knight Academy, the auditorium of the Academy of Magic is simply a stone house than a castle, without any splendor, without any luxury and grandeur, but solemn and peaceful, similar to the feeling of the head of the academy, X.
While everyone was still whispering about why the dean had summoned everyone, Kox and the two magic teachers walked in through the side door in front of them, and the auditorium fell silent for a moment, and a pair of eyes looked at Kox.
Nexus sat down and looked around at his cadets and spoke:
"I'm sure everyone is wondering why everyone was gathered today. The Academy of Magic has been established for three years, and there are only about thirty students here. I am very pleased to introduce you to a magical magical world, the practice of magic, the initial stage depends on your talent and the guidance of several teachers, but your study in the magic academy is only a small stage of this practice, and the future practice needs to rely on your own understanding, until you are old, the practice will always be with you, never end. This section of the road is like a river boat, if you don't advance, you will retreat. What we teach you can be said to be the method of practicing magic, and I hope that you can use it to treat your own life. In short, you must remember the original purpose of the establishment of the Academy of Magic. ”
There was a pause at this point, and perhaps realizing that his words were a bit off-topic, continued:
"In the past few years since the establishment of the academy, the empire has given great support to the academy, from the location of the academy to the dispatch of several court magicians to teach courses at the academy, it can be said that without the support of the empire, there would be no academy today. In this way, the Academy of Magic also wants to repay the Empire for its help and support. I have consulted with Dean Leader of the Imperial Knight Academy that there will be some joint activities between the Academy of Magic and the Knight Academy to promote communication and integration between the two academies. ”
Hearing Kerry's words, the students below were in an uproar. Alan looked at the other people beside him, an activist like Elvis, eager to try, and Felicia behind him also looked expectant, Alan remembered the last conversation with the old man in Kers's office, and felt that Kerks's words at this time were a little helpless.
Motioning for everyone not to argue, he continued:
"In this event, the Academy of Magic will send most of the students of the advanced and intermediate classes to participate, for you, this is a rare opportunity to stand out, and it is also a test of your learning achievements in the past few years, I and several teachers, look forward to your performance. In the afternoon, all the students of the advanced and intermediate classes joined me in the opening ceremony of the event in the auditorium of the Knight Academy, where the tasks and rules of the competition will be announced. Alright, you guys go back and get a little bit ready. ”
Nexus got up and exited through the side door with a few magic teachers, and the auditorium exploded.
"I didn't expect to hold an event with the Knight Academy, I don't know what the event is?"
"What's the matter, since the old man said that it was an opportunity to emerge, there must be competition, I can't wait!"
The students were discussing in a few words, and Alan looked at the back of Kerry as he left, and once again felt that the mentor who had brought him into the great world of magic was a little old.
"Just now, Dean Kers said that the students of the intermediate class will also participate, I don't know if we have a chance. When Alan heard Felicia's words, he turned his head to look behind him and saw Felicia's hands folded with a look of anticipation. Alan knew that Felicia grew up listening to the legend of knights, and had a special affection for knights, and at this time, seeing Felicia's expression, Alan actually felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't say what it was.
"Alan!let's not sneak to the Knight Academy this time, let's swagger in, I don't know what it was like to those bastards last time they saw it!haha!" Elvis patted Allen on the shoulder and said excitedly.
