Chapter 8 Learning from their strengths and participating in actual combat
Although Alfer has always been known for his kindness and friendliness, Vincent is a person who can be sarcastic about what others do, and the day before they became friends, there was an argument that led to "a heavy loss in the Alchemy Classroom" (Principal Krent's words after the morning exercise the day after the incident)".
Some girls even think that they used to either laugh at others all day long, or Vincent, who had a gloomy face, was really handsome when he laughed.
However, thanks to this pair of contrasting friends, a few days later, Principal Krent announced at the end of the morning exercise that the alchemy classroom would be rebuilt, which would suddenly increase the financial pressure on the school, and the large class would usher in practical teaching, and follow the teachers to participate in some commissions from the surrounding residents to increase the school's income.
After this actual battle, there will also be a special class, so the children don't have to work as hard as before, and "children who are good at using magic don't have to hold the hilt of the sword."
The principal also announced that the eleven children in the kindergarten would follow the teachers in groups of three every week to receive various commissions, and that all the people in the kindergarten could go out every week, so no one was allowed to sneak out (the principal kept an eye on Alver while saying this), otherwise they would be punished for digging the school toilet with their bare hands for a week to fertilize the vegetable garden.
Before the class discussion, the school announced that they were free to form teams, because Vincent was the first to raise his hand and offered to team up with Elver, and no child wanted to join, and there were only two people in the group of Elph and Vincent.
"That's fine," Vincent was a little concerned about Elf's feelings, and immediately found a reason to say to Elf, "This is a real battle, and a number of shackled and calculating companions will affect us." ”
Alfer saw Vincent's sensitivity, and wanted to laugh a little, but he was also very moved: "If you don't raise your hand, I will team up with you, we are friends! But because of me, we will be followed by one more teacher, which is more restrained than the classmates who speak ill of each other behind our backs!" Alfer said to Vincent with great certainty, "No matter how many people I team with, I will be followed by one more teacher." ”
"Why?" Vincent wondered.
"The night you were punished, the headmaster talked to me. Elph pouted, "Not only that, but I had to continue with my old days, not participating in the classes, I had to continue learning everything, and he said that the color of my hair, my glowing eyes, and my talent were probably because I was a special thing." ”
"Don't talk about yourself, you're a good man, Elf!" Vincent patted Alfer on the back to cheer him up.
"Well......" Alfer sighed, "I don't care, but the headmaster seems serious. ”
"That old man has always been weird, and if you really don't care what he says, you shouldn't take it to heart," Vincent shrugged his shoulders and staggered two steps, "If you're really special, there's nothing wrong with that."
"Thank you, Vincent. ”
Vincent straightened his chest, hammered his chest with a fist in his right hand, looked at Alver very seriously and said, "Don't thank me, my father told me that we are going to face fate, and I will give you this sentence as well." ”
Vincent's suggestion not to be reclassified was rejected by the magic teacher Luna, who said that Vincent's magical talent was really not very good, and that even if he was blessed with the best magic objects in the world, he would not see any hope.
Vincent complained to Alph angrily after being assigned the Knights, Swordsmanship, and Scouts that Teacher Luna had gone too far, "I told her that I could still make some electric sparks, but she still wouldn't let me take the same class as you!"
She also said that you wouldn't be in danger even if you got your hands on the cursed treasure, because you didn't react to magic at all. Alver laughed out loud, pinching his throat out of breath and learning to the girl's voice, "The electric spark you made may be static electricity, Vincenne." ”
Vincent pretended to kick Alver in dissatisfaction, Alfer laughed and ducked, and the two ran from the playground to near the teachers' offices, Vincent suddenly grabbed Alfer, covered his mouth, and stared at the principal's office with a "shhh" gesture.
Alph understood what Vincent meant, and listened intently in the direction of Vincent's gaze.
"I'm not in favor of having children involved in this commission!" was Mr. Saka's voice.
'I think so, Saka. "This time it's the voice of Uncle Chief, the head of the guards.
"That's because you're already killing people at your age. Saka's voice was full of disdain.
"That's enough! This is a tactical arrangement, not for you to quarrel!" Teacher Alesi interrupted the argument between the two men, and his tone was serious and not gentle at all that Elver had never heard.
The office was quiet for a while, and the principal spoke: "If it's too dangerous, you can bring the children back." There is no way to fail the mission, but they must be made aware of the dangers outside. Diru is the closest village to us, and if it is robbed, it means that we may soon be targeted as well, at least to prepare the children. ”
"Mr. Krent, in fact, we have to prepare for another hand," Teacher Alessi's voice trembled slightly, "The villagers who came to report the news were commissioned yesterday, and the robbers may have already captured the village and left when they set off tomorrow, if they kill more than ten villagers, no matter what the corpses are disposed of, it is likely to attract the attention of the ghoul monsters." ”
The matter has not yet reached a complete conclusion, but the two cleaning ladies knocked on the door of the principal's office with a tablecloth, and Alfer was a little annoyed that the cleaning lady appeared at the wrong time, but there was no good hiding place near the office area, and Alfer could only drag Vincent, who wanted to listen, to slip away before being discovered.
They may face bandits, ghouls, or more terrifying monsters, and that's bad enough to hear.
