Chapter 146: Alchemy Lesson (1)

"Over there, look."

"Which side?"

"Next to the girl with a particularly beautiful pendant."

"The one with freckles on his face?"

"No, it's the one with the spider on the back?"

"That's right, it's her. I heard she got a beautiful bracelet. ”

"Do you see her bracelet? It's beautiful. ”

"What is there to be proud of, look at her pale face, like a dead man."

"It's a fair girl, I think you envy her smooth neck, right?"

Lena and Louise were on their way to the alchemy class, and these whispers kept chasing her closely. The boys lined up outside the classroom, all on tiptoe, to see her for what she really was. And the girls are pointing at their backs in twos and threes, some friendly, some envious, and some snarky.

In the hallway, they walked past them, turned back, and stared at her. Lena hoped they wouldn't, as she had to concentrate on finding her way to the classroom—Louise was already a little dizzy.

"Louise, ignore those little bitches - they're jealous, you can just treat them as if they don't exist." Lena said to Louise with her head held high—she wished the friendly girl would be haughty.

"Lena, I'm just a little nervous. And you see, how bold those boys are—you see, that boy is so handsome, and he's smiling at me! Louise blushed and whispered to Lena.

"Oh, my good fellow, don't fall for a boy. The rice bucket that smirks at you is Francis Fenrery, and he's in second grade. But don't let his smile fool you, Sister Guzman told me yesterday that it's a hopeless rice bucket. He's changed several girlfriends, what a complete scumbag! ”

"Really? Lena. ”

"No, you saw the crying girl on the couch yesterday, right? It was Joanna, a girl from a simple merchant family. She is Francis's ex-girlfriend, and she thought she had met the prince of her life, who would have thought? Francis dumped her yesterday — and cheated on her first kiss. Lena said disdainfully as she mentioned Francis.

"No, it won't! That's horrible. I don't even know what to do if it were me - it would be a shame. ”

"So, don't be fooled by men. A man's mouth, a deceitful ghost. They will win you with small favors, and when you throw yourself into your arms, they will abandon you fiercely. Look at how pitiful that girl is, deceived emotionally, I just don't know if she has been deceived into chastity... Lena said with a stiff nose.

"Wow, Lena, let's not talk about such and such topics, you hurry up and find out where the alchemy class is located, I'm already dizzy!"

There are a total of one hundred and forty-two stairs in the castle of the Holy Spirit Falcon Empire's Wizarding Academy. Some of them are wide and large; Some are narrow, small, and wobbly; Some go to different places every Monday; Some of them will disappear halfway up, and you have to remember where to jump over them. In addition, there are many doors that will not open for you if you unceremoniously ask them to open them, or poke them in the right place; Other doors weren't real doors at all, just sturdy walls that looked like doors.

So it's hard to remember what's in what place, because everything seems to be constantly moving. The people in the portrait were constantly visiting each other, and Lena was sure that even the armor could walk—she saw a piece of armor with half of its arm missing at the door of the girls' common room of Falkenridge College yesterday, and today she had encountered it at the entrance of the hallway of the ballroom. Why are you so sure? That's because the newborn cat named Van with a cat scratched his paw on it - the scratches are still there!

There's nothing you can do with the ghosts. Often, when you are about to open a door, a ghost suddenly pops out from behind the door and startles you. The disemboweled Sir Beauxbatons was certainly happy to show the way for the freshmen of Falkenridge House; But if you're already late for class, and you run into McGregor, a prankster who likes to play pranks, it's even more difficult than running into two locked doors and a staircase with heavy mechanisms. He will snap a basin of water to your head, remove the footpads from your feet, throw feathers at you that you don't know from whose quill, or sneak behind you and grab your hair when you can't see it, and scream: "Hold on to your hair!"

Louise was pulled by McGregor's hair, and she tried to resist, but her fists couldn't reach the cunning McGregory. Lena had long heard Guzman's advice: "If you meet McGregory and kill him by any means you can think of, rest assured, as a ghost, he is already a dead man, and he will not die again—and you don't have to worry about losing your house marks only against McGregory." Guzmán admonished.

When she sees Louise being bullied by McGregory, Lena steps up. She used her new wand, oh no, she didn't have an old wand originally. She casts a freezing spell with her wand that freezes McGregory, and then the ice blade chops off his hands and flushes down the toilet in the girls' bathroom. Won the applause of all the students present.

Lena climbed into a suit of armor (she couldn't reach McGregory floating in the air, even though she was frozen) and pressed the ice blade of her wand against McGregory's throat and said, "Impudent ghost, if you bully girls again, I'll cut off your head and send it to Barr Exkushin, I don't think Barr would mind if he chops off your filthy head and stuffs it into the nightpot!" ”

McGregory had no choice but to make an exaggerated expression of horror and then nodded desperately.

So Louise and Lena went together to find a classroom for the alchemy class.

"Hey! I'm still freezing! I've got to go down the drain to find my arm! McGregory screamed.

"You, you're frozen there! That's the price of your rudeness to girls! Lena replied without looking back.

If there was anything worse than McGregory, it was Mrs. Boltington, the Administrator. A few minutes before the class was elected, Lena and Joshua had a falling out with Mrs. Boltington. Mrs. Boltington found that they were trying to break through a door that happened to be the entrance to the corridor leading to the teacher's recess on the second floor. Mrs. Boltington did not believe that they were lost, and thought that they were deliberately trying to break in, so she threatened to lock them in the dungeon, but Mr. Wonderwise happened to pass by and helped them out.

Mrs. Trappington kept an itchy rat named Mr. Porpinton. The scrawny, gray-haired creature had bulging eyes like those of Lady Boltington's bulbs. It often patrols the corridors alone. If it was fouled in the face, it would run to Mrs. Porpington even if the tip of one toe was out of the line. Two minutes later, Mrs. Poppington would come running with a sigh of grunt. Madame Boltington knew better than anyone the horns of the castle, and would come out cold like a ghost. Her classmates hated her to the core, and many of them were eager to kick Mr. Bo hard at him.

Then, once you've found the classroom, it's time to face the course itself. Lena soon discovers that there's a lot more to magic than just waving your wand and chanting a few fun spells! Of course, Joshua will also meet his most hated teacher.
