One day, one day in early June. Somewhere, Landu College belongs to the forest. Someone, Neil. The weather is drizzling.

"Hey, you've just recovered from it, doesn't it matter if you do such a strenuous exercise?" Neil glanced at the haystack where the sound came from, but his hands didn't slow down. The next step of the brisk running action is followed by a stomp on the sole of the right foot, and the small pit that splashed away the muddy water was instantly filled with water again. Throwing away a dagger tied with silk thread, he picked a thick trunk and wrapped it tightly. Neil leaped up with the inertia of his momentum, he took the trunk of the tree as the center, clenched the silk thread in his hand, and flew like a circle, gathering the hordes of demonic beasts that followed behind him, and then circled them a few times to tie them up firmly. After doing all this, he subconsciously pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist. "Slow Neil!" Neil turned his head to see a little barewing-winged figure scurrying out of the haystack and flying towards him. The villain dodged and dodged the raindrops that converged into beans, and the fast-flying figure was left with a faint light trail by the dense water vapor. I heard it shout, "Next, I'll leave it to the mentor in charge of the Heterogeneous Research Department to collect it!" "Oh. Neil echoed slightly, and then he ran to the haystack and picked up the bamboo basket he had hidden. "That's enough. The light-winged little man floating in front of Neil's head asked. "Who else?" "Well, in addition to what I told you earlier, there are also Buck and Sauron, after all, it's convenient to have a teacher on the side to supervise the tutoring. Neil looked at the little man, touched his chin as if he were thinking, and said, "Then we will have to pick a little more finch mushrooms and scarlet leeks." "Oh, no!" the light from the villain dimmed, as if it was trembling. "What do you say?" Neil spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and raised the corners of his mouth. "It's okay to help again, but don't... Ahh Because of the sudden acceleration, the villain quickly swayed left and right to stabilize his body, shuttling between the tree trunks, and screaming from time to time to make an emergency avoidance. "After all, it's safest and fastest to probe like this. Neil said to himself, carrying the basket of game on his back, stepping on the branches, speeding through the dense forest, grabbing the barewing-winged little man again, and throwing it with another great blow.

"Tick", counting the water droplets slide down the veins along the root of the leaves, time passes, and the rain gradually stops. It's just that the foggy water vapor hides the twilight, and the sky is pale gray-blue, and it's almost evening. Looking at the distance and near the distance, the lights are on at the beginning, and the light and rain are embellished with twilight. There was only one muddy road leading to the distance, and the two lines of deep-printed ruts followed the lighted carriage, and the coachman drove his horses slowly around the old house. The sky was blue and gloomy, the rain vapor was deep, wetting the clothes, the horse seemed to be disgusted with the weather, Leng Buding took a mouthful of trace powder full of ether from his mouth, dissolved in the mist, it took the carriage, and stopped at the foot of the curved wooden steps after the sound of "hoo". After a while, three women and a man came out of the carriage, each wearing a gray-blue college uniform, and they walked into the eaves together, and before they could knock on the door, the door opened by itself. "Look at the time, it's you, Irene, Olivia, and Freya, come in. The three of them said hello, took off their wide-brimmed hats and cloaks at the door, and entered the house. "Good evening, Teacher Buck. Buck took off his fur hat and placed it on his chest, bowing slightly, and followed. "Richie, Miss Irene is really a problem with you in this weather. Richie, who had his horse tied, smiled, took off his rain gear and walked out the door. "Sister Fili, where's Brother Neil?" "Master Neal is preparing dinner for Miss Erin. Fili gently closed the wooden door and replied.

"I didn't expect Neil to be so attentive to this celebration. Buck's casual remark caused an unknown ball of light to burst out of the kitchen door, shouting, "Yes, yes, I have suffered so much!" Everyone was about to speculate, "Marfa, you've worked hard today to go out with Brother Neil again! Let's play together later." Erin walked over and waved at the villain, and went upstairs. "It's like a fairy! The color of the wings, the shape of the body... It's still a Becky elf, the legendary ancient species!" Freya's expression changed, and she was surprised after careful identification. "Oh, you know this guy?" asked Neil, setting the plate on the table. "I read about it in my adoptive father's books. "The Marquis Fano's collection?" Richie asked on behalf of the others. "Well, it says that the Becky Elves are one of the few elves in the Elven clan that are unusually small and have light wings. Among them, there is even the kind of noble Becky fairy who can even secrete attribute ether on its own, and at first glance it looks like scale powder falling from both ends of the wings, "Look at that villain again, and sure enough, you can vaguely find a substance similar to powder falling." "It's just that it says that this clan died out a hundred years ago, but..." Neil gestured to the neatly stacked snacks on his plate and motioned for everyone to taste them, as if he didn't want to talk more about the origin of the goblin. The group, from the table to the door, stood sparsely, only Richie, stepped forward, pinched a crispy roll, bit down lightly, and sighed, "It's delicious!" Everyone came back to their senses and tasted it, and Neil didn't say much and went back to the kitchen to get busy. Only Buck still cared about the goblin, looking at the figure, it was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. Others should be helping, waiting.

After not waiting for a long time, the light in the room gradually became gloomy, overflowing with the flavor of delicacies, but the fog outside the window became thicker, covering the darkness of the night with a faint milky white. At this moment, there is a long oak table in the living room, everyone sits around, serves delicious food, pours fine wine, places a few finely carved crystal candles, and when the light is sprinkled, the fragrance overflows from the light source, seeps into the air of the living room, and fills the whole room with the aroma of meat, fruity and open spices. "Where's Mentor Sauron?" asked Neil, who was sitting at the master of the long table, to Buck, who was in the third seat on his left. "It should be almost there. Richie, who was sitting across from him, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. Waiting for the minute hand to jump again for just a few stops, suddenly a long whistle came from outside the house, followed by a "snap" slapping sound, the wind shook the window frame to bring in water vapor through the gap, and looked out of the window, and saw a Miller eagle hovering in the sky for a few circles, and then found the courtyard and landed in the open space. When Fili opened the door, it turned out to be Sauron and Hammer. "Sorry, it's late. Sauron looked apologetic. "No, we're just ready to eat. Hammer: "Fili glanced at Hammer, who was hiding behind Sauron. "That's right, Hammer is my student, and I want to bring him with me for today's tuition. Also, the academy doesn't provide meals for Deba..."At this point, Sauron's voice became noticeably quieter. Firi then turned her head to look at Neil. Neil nodded slightly, and Fili welcomed the two in. Somehow, Hammer had been following Sauron closely, looking fearfully at Neil and the goblin on his shoulder. "I'm sorry to trouble you. As he spoke, Sauron sent Hammer to Neil's first seat on his left, facing Erin. I sat down next to him. Seeing this, Buck teased him, saying, "Sauron, he's now Hammer's full-time babysitter." "Hammer, he's my only surviving student. The heavy topic suddenly suppressed the atmosphere of the dinner. Firi took the dishes out of the kitchen herself, looked at Sauron, and then found a chair and sat down beside Freya. At this time, she said, "What's wrong with everyone?, Teacher Soren, Master Neil and Miss Erin are also your students, don't be biased about tonight's tutoring." Also, don't forget, today is a dinner party for Master Neal to celebrate his recovery, and everyone should be happy. After that, everyone chimed in: "Yes, today is the day to celebrate Neil's physical recovery, let's toast Neil." Buck raised his glass, but the crowd looked at Neil. I only heard Neil say, "I'm not used to talking during meals, please feel free." The faint words extinguished the atmosphere that seemed to be warming up, and everyone was a little restrained.

"Well, that Olivia sister, I'm bothering you with today's pharmacy tutoring. Erin said to Olivia beside her, breaking the silence. "Well, good. "Olivia, you seem to have been running here lately, is there some secret? Buck casually remarked, which caused everyone to turn their ears together, and Freya thought to herself: No wonder I haven't seen Olivia very much lately, it turns out that he has come to Neil, but what is the matter? Olivia was forced to blush-face by everyone's questions, and the brain cells used to lie became less and less, and her voice was even more inaudible. At this time, Neil suddenly asked, "Is the aftermath of the school completed?" I heard Erin say that classes are already normal. "Well, the basic facilities and staffing are back to normal, there are a few remaining loopholes that need to be improved, but they should be over before the flower day." It's just that the council seems to be busy. Rich replied. "It's Ente. "Director Ente?" everyone wondered. Buck, who was present, suddenly said: "There is still a dispute about the disposal of Ente's gang. One of the culprits that led to this disaster was Ente. Ente, even if he was bewitched by the monster, he couldn't talk too much, but it's no wonder that he had been opposing our proposal at that time. If he hadn't managed to trap most of the in-service faculty on the night of the witches, the academy's losses wouldn't have been so great this time..."Neil changed the subject in time for Olivia to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The small crystal candlestick, with a soft halo, falls a little bit of brilliance, reflecting everyone's faces. Erin sat on her right hand, grabbing a small piece of meat with her little hand and stuffing it into her mouth, looking at Neil with her bright eyes from time to time. Olivia, who was sitting beside her, seemed to notice her strangeness, stood up slightly, gently brushed her long blonde hair with her left hand, and handed a bottle of Heather salt to Erin with her right hand. Erin whispers thanks to Olivia, who apologizes to Freya on her right for accidentally touching her elbow. Freya bowed slightly, her beautiful face and her blond hair in her shawl glowing a faint red in the candlelight. Especially the pair of blue eyes that stared at Neil, with the brilliance of fiddling with the glass in her hand, scattering and refracting, the soft crystal light rippled in her eyes. The face-to-face Hammer also seemed to be a little drunk and obsessed. Fili looked at Richie, who was feasting on her right, as if she was aware of his thoughts, and didn't want to break too much Fili picked up the cutlery, the metallic luster scattered into her lenses, and the moment her white fingers picked up the knife and fork, the fingertips came with the friction of the carved patterns of silver tableware, and the various dishes were dimmed by the lights, which looked extremely attractive. Cut off a corner of the leg meat, put it into a lace porcelain plate, fork it in the mouth, chew repeatedly, the mouth is full of gravy, full of grass and wood, sweet.

Everyone enjoyed the sweetness brought by the food, and the melting candlelight on the table overflowed the window, and the hazy mist illuminated the sky and the earth. The damp air outside the window seeped into the living room through the cracks, and you could feel that it was spreading to the dining table, as if you wanted to blend in with the joyful atmosphere, but the afterglow was sprinkled throughout the house by the floor-to-ceiling crystal lamp in a corner, turning it into dryness, and continuously conveying a warm breath into the air. Sniffing, the smell of the room is more and more sweetened by the food mixed with the breath exhaled from the girl's mouth, and the atmosphere of the dinner party is becoming more and more lively. Except for Neil, who was still silent, even the elf who fed on the ether flew to the mouth of the wine cup, holding a handful of wine and smacking his lips.

The pleasant smell took away the short meal time, and Fili took over the task of cleaning up the scraps by herself. Others started intensive tuition. According to Barker, the exam is divided into three parts, one is the theoretical compulsory, but the subject is elective, and the third is the practical application, but generally speaking, the actual combat is just a formality, but because of the special geographical location of the blue capital, it will be slightly stricter. The magician and the knight are also tested separately, this part includes the basic operation and the analysis of conventional enemy control skills, the difference is that the strengths of the two should be used, and the details of the content tested will also be different and in-depth.

Originally, I thought that Neil would not have much of a problem passing, but I didn't expect that after completing a set of test papers, in addition to his undoubted practical ability and the recently made up for Ide's historiography, his modern magic theory and the key points mastered by various subjects seemed to be unexpectedly difficult to reach the passing line. On the contrary, Irene, despite her young age and limited speed of receiving knowledge, with her talent as Kingsley and the careful guidance of Richie on weekdays, it should not be a problem to pass this exam, which is probably the deviation caused by Neil's usual absenteeism and too much attention to partial knowledge. Knowing how Neil was studying, Buck took out a basic textbook from behind him and said, "Originally, I wanted to keep it for Erin, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now." I saw him open a page in the book, and the patterns in the book were folded and lifted as if they came to life, explaining the basic knowledge points like self-introduction, deducing the most basic teaching, and the text was made up into a whole sphere, self-descriptive: " Suppose that a standard world is composed of 78 percent of the aether, about 10 percent of the earth as the substrate, about 4 percent of the wind of communication, about 6 percent of the water of the entire ecosystem, and about 2 percent of the fire ...... of the final change-generating nature." On the other side, Erin and Hammer began to study under the combined tutoring of Olivia, Freya and Richie, who made these three all top students in the grade, and the level of tutoring for the two poor students was more than enough. And the bored goblin sat on the sofa, looked at the people who were tutoring, and smiled slightly.

Late at night, today's evil supplement is slowly coming to an end, and Fei Li has already taken the first step to leave. And Erin has officially ended the first stage of tutoring, and she is a little more sure in her heart. Although Neil on the side is very capable of learning, even Buck and Sauron were taken aback, as if he could understand with a little mention, but because there are too many learning progress left, he is still in the middle of tutoring. Irene, who was sorting out her books, suddenly suggested to Olivia, who was about to go back, "Sister Olivia, let's go to the backyard and pick some fruit for everyone to make snacks." "Okay, got it. "I'll go with you. "No, it's enough for the two of us. You'd better help Neil see how the tuition is doing. Olivia declined Freya's offer and went with Erin to a large plot of land in the backyard. In addition to some fruits and vegetables, there are also some herbs, which are the result of Olivia's busy time. "Sister Olivia, do you know what's wrong with Brother Neil lately?" "Hmm, what's wrong?" "Brother Neil hasn't let me into his room for the past few days, with the exception of Sister Olivia. I shouldn't have asked if Brother Neil hadn't told me, but can you tell me what happened that night? Erin only has a vague memory in her head, and she only remembers Brother Neil's painful appearance, can you tell me what happened to Brother Neil?" "Do you really want to know?" "It's okay, I want to know, Sister Olivia. Olivia pondered for a moment and said, "But Neil, he told me not to tell you." "Oh... I know. Sister Olivia, Erin doesn't want to know anymore. Erin's answer made Olivia stunned and asked, "Doesn't it matter?" "Hmm~" Erin shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter, on the contrary, Erin I'm very happy." "Happy?" "Well, there's a secret between Sister Olivia and Brother Neil that Erin can't even know. Olivia blushed and hurriedly explained, "Erin, it's not what you think. Erin shook her head gently again and said, "Erin knows everything." It's Sister Olivia who has been taking care of Brother Neil, and Irene is really happy. "It's not like that! it's not like that!" Olivia hurriedly waved her hand and tried to deny it, but was grabbed by Erin's small hand. I saw her clench her hands, her eyes staring at herself, and she said to herself, "If, if one day Irene is not there." Can Sister Olivia protect Brother Neil instead of Erin?" The two beautiful eyes looked at each other for a moment, and Olivia avoided the gaze for a moment, and said, "Let's send the vegetables in." "Hmm. Irene acquiesced to Olivia's permission, and both of them walked back to the house along the stone path. It's just that the sound of hurried footsteps buried the sound of Olivia's "thump" heartbeat, and the heavy night hid the hot flush on her cheeks.

The evening breeze blew lightly, and Erin snorted, stroking the reddened Kingsley print. I only heard a frog chirping in the distance, maybe summer has arrived.
