Alan scratched his head a little embarrassed, smiled twice, and said, "I saw that the teacher's cigarette pouch was a little old, so I bought one, which is not worth a few dollars." ”

"Don't say this thing looks good. My cigarette pouch followed me ten years ago, and I was reluctant to lose it if I had feelings, and I have been using it until now, but this thing is new and not old, and I will change it today, I heard that the pineapple wood cigarette stick has a natural woody fragrance when smoking, and the pineapple is also a good conductor of earth magic, and smoking can also communicate with earth magic elements. The old magician was obviously pleased with the gift that Eren had given him, and although there was something in his words, Alan did not hear it at all, because he was thinking about something else entirely.

"Teacher, my mission is complete" Alan was about to explain why his mission was not handed over, but the old magician interrupted him.

"I know everything about you, I don't need to explain it. The teacher is very satisfied with your performance and is very pleased. I didn't misread you, you, like your father, are responsible and affectionate men. The old magician let him sit down in a chair.

"Teacher, what about my wand?" Alan still couldn't help but ask what he was most concerned about at the moment.

"Don't worry, the wand is just a symbol, and the most important thing is that you can get training and maturity through this assessment. Havic's letter is a rare compliment to you! No one else has received such praise for his performance in the appraisal. ”

"Actually, I wasn't good enough. ”

"Alan, Sterling is also a friend of mine, and I am saddened by his departure. However, birth, old age, sickness and death are things that each of us must face, sooner or later one day I will leave this world, your father will too, including yourself, if everyone can not get out of the pain of losing relatives and friends, then life is not only pain, and this is not what the deceased want to see. Just like this cigarette pouch, with the new one, the old one is quickly forgotten. The old magician took out his old cigarette pouch and tossed it aside, signaling that even the most beautiful things would disappear one day.

"Teacher, I understand what you're saying, it's just"

"Don't just be just, it's all going to pass. Wait a little longer for your wand and grant it with the next batch of students, and I'll give you the most perfect set of fire-based magic arrays. The old magician patted Alan on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

"The intermediate class is graduating so soon?"

"It's an advanced class now, and it wasn't so fast, but the result of the Papal State's war against Higg has made the empire jump for a while, especially the military department is as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and almost every day sends people over to urge me to ask the magician to come over to assist, and a few of your classmates have already passed first, but it is a drop in the bucket, so this class has to arrange their graduation assessment in advance. But don't worry, you have the right to choose, no one can force you. Okay, let's not talk about that, you can tell me about your life in the ancient city of Okusan, which has left me with many good memories, but it is many years since now, and I don't know what has changed there. ”

The old magician seemed to recall the past of his adventurous life, and there was a hint of longing and sadness in his eyes.

"Alright, Teacher, have you ever been to Iron Pine?"

"Oh, of course, some of the big towns in the ancient city of Oku-Ko-Bang have my footprints, let alone Iron Pine!" the old magician sat and filled his new pipe with tobacco, then lit it, took a beautiful puff, and waited for Alan's story to begin.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After dinner, Felicia and Kelly paced out of the cafeteria and strolled down the winter campus path, surrounded by silence except for the creaking of their boots on the remaining snow.

"What's wrong? Is that handsome knight coming to harass you again?"

Kelly looked at Felicia, who was a little worried beside her, and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't say that, he doesn't mean it. ”

Felicia couldn't help but excuse himself.

"I don't believe that he has any good intentions, El told me that he is a merry seed, but now there are so many women in the imperial capital, he doesn't care about others, but cares about you. ”

Kelly pouted, an expression of disbelief.

"You also know that we only met each other because of last year's competition, and it's only been more than half a year now, what can we do?"

"Haven't you and Alan known each other for more than a month..."

"Don't mention him, he hasn't heard anything from me in more than half a year. ”

Felicia sighed and said with some wistfulness.

The two of them walked while talking, and when they walked into the small courtyard where the dormitory was located, they saw a person standing under the dormitory from a distance, and because it was nearly dusk, it was not until they approached that they gradually saw the person's face clearly.

"Alan!?"

Although Allen's complexion had darkened and his skin had become rougher, Felicia quickly recognized him and called out his name, though her voice was noticeably shaky. At that moment she wanted to run over, but for some reason she didn't do that, but stood still.

"It's me, Felicia, Kelly, two young ladies!"

Eren showed a mouthful of white teeth that almost matched his skin color, and greeted the two politely.

"Alan, it's great that you're finally back. Someone has been thinking about you all this time, so let's talk, I have something else to do, and I have to go back first. ”

Kelly greeted Alan with a smile, then gave Felicia a look before leaving, leaving the two men standing facing each other.

Alan originally thought that the moment he saw Felicia, he would be tempted to ask about her relationship with Andre first, but when he saw Felicia's eyes full of resentment, suddenly all the anger could not be released. He silently approached the girl and reached out to take her hand, but the girl stepped back and dodged.

"You promised me that you would come back in three months at most, why did you delay coming back until today?"

Only then did Alan notice that the girl's gaze was not only resentful, but even with some hatred.

"I'm sorry, something went wrong with my mission and I had to take the time to deal with it, so I came back late. ”

Alan explained honestly, but this explanation obviously did not satisfy the girl.

"You've been gone for a few months and haven't even had a message, do you know how I feel? Or do you don't have me in your heart at all?"

"No, I wrote to the teacher, and I thought the teacher would tell everyone about me, so"

Alan stopped talking, because he saw the disappointment in the girl's eyes, yes, at this moment he suddenly realized that he had indeed done something stupid, why didn't he think of writing another letter when he wrote a letter to the teacher in the first place! What was he worried about at the time, was it because Sterling's death was still in pain, or he didn't want their relationship to be exposed because of the letter, or maybe he didn't take the other party to heart at all, as the girl said.
