Huang Xia is responsible, of course, she has gone and returned, but when she came back, she was not so lucky, a wound more than 20 centimeters long on her arm, and her ankle was cut off. Of course, with timely treatment, it will heal in one day. In the cafeteria at noon the next day, Jiao Ming and Bing Lian, who had lunch together, talked about the progress made in the teleportation experiment, and then talked about the selection competition held by the Advanced Magic Academy in order to deal with the alchemist's lineage.

"After all, it's five hundred, even the children of the nobility can find twenty hot-blooded young people who are willing to fight for the academy. Jiao Ming commented when he heard that the four teams entered the semi-finals. Binglian, who informed her of this, sneered and corrected, "There are only fourteen. ”

Jiao Ming was surprised and asked for details, only to learn that one team actually had two byes to enter the semi-finals, and the players had no intention of fighting, while one of the other teams had fallen out with his teammates and threatened not to attend the next game. After sighing for a few seconds, Jiao Ming asked again about the last game of the '02 team', whether he had surrendered and admitted defeat to get rid of trouble.

Bing Lian showed a strange expression, and stopped talking. Jiao Ming was stunned and then asked, "Wouldn't we be the team with two byes?"

With a wicked smile on her face that succeeded in her mischief, Binglian said: "Teasing you, how can we be so lucky, we have been defeated a long time ago." ”

"Not admitting defeat?" Jiao Ming grasped the details.

The malice in Binglian's smile increased by three points, and she explained, "Remember the few suitors of the Pink Powder Team Captain? ”

"Why is that?" Jiao Ming asked, although he could vaguely guess the approximate situation, but the details of this kind of thing were the key.

"That little...... I'm sorry, but that pink-haired bunny made a promise after being defeated that he could have dinner with the man who defeated us. ”

Jiao Ming thought about it for a while and found a small detail: "If the two of them like each other in the first place, wouldn't this contribute to a good thing?"

"I can't think of this little thing?" Binglian snorted in dissatisfaction because she was despised, and continued in a low voice: "I know the personality preferences of the pink-haired rabbit best, and that oily little white face is the type she hates the most. ”

"It's just dinner, you're too expensive, aren't you?"

"Having dinner together and having lunch together have different implications!" said Ice Lotus, smiling like a fox stealing a chicken. "At least when I was in the junior magic academy, the southern aristocratic circle had such a habit of concealing words. ”

Jiao Ming suddenly came to his senses, leaned his head and asked about the specific hints. Bing Lian reached out and pushed Jiao Ming's face away, and replied silently with her reddish cheeks.

Jiao Ming raised his thumb, secretly sighed at the woman's revenge, and asked, "After all, it's the innocence of the girl's family, this is a bit too ruthless, right?"

"Since it's a hidden word, there's still room for repayment, so it's just very troublesome. Binglian rolled her eyes and thought about it for a while, and said a sentence in Chinese: "There is a fire in the backyard." ”

Jiao Ming almost sprayed rice and said with a smile: "When did I teach you this?"

Binglian tilted her head and thought, and corrected: "The harem is on fire?"

"It's closer, but it's still wrong. ”

The two laughed a few words about this, and the topic returned to business, although the selection competition on the side of the noble children was close to a farce, but the gray-robed freshmen were quite fierce in the first round of elimination, and the spirit they showed left a deep impression on the school. In the middle of the conversation, a student council member with an armband ran to the cafeteria, reporting that there was an urgent matter somewhere in Binglian and asking her to decide.

This is not the first time this is the case, Binglian cast an apologetic look at Jiao Ming, and Jiao Ming had no reason to stop her, so he had to let her leave, and then looked at the half-eaten lunch on the opposite side and sighed. When they met again after school in the evening, Binglian frowned and pondered with a cold face, and didn't come back to her senses until Jiao Ming patted her shoulder. Jiao Ming saw that the situation was abnormal, and asked the reason with concern.

"Something happened to the gray-robed student's competition, why haven't you heard of it. ”

Jiao Ming shook his head, whether it was in the class or in the library, it was so quiet that it was no different from usual. "Seriously?"

"One dead and one maimed. ”

Jiao Ming's mouth opened wide in disbelief.

First of all, because of the death event itself, which is very different from the peaceful atmosphere of the campus, Jiao Ming has always regarded the magic competition as a physical education class in his heart, and at first glance, when he heard that someone died while running in physical education class, people with three views on the earth will not be adaptable, just like eating cake and eating bitter wild vegetables.

Then there was the fear of the same quiet atmosphere of the whole school, when he was on Earth, Jiao Ming also believed that rumors stop at the words of wise men, and despised those who believed in rumors, but at this time he suddenly felt that believing rumors and spreading rumors was a positive and healthy attitude towards life, because what was even more terrible than it was indifference: a living person died in public, but no one took it as a talking point.

The cold invaded, Jiao Ming shivered, stumbled a few times, and then asked, "How is it possible?"

"Here's the problem, the gray-robed students are competing with the two seven rings, not the eight rings and the nine rings of the noble children. ”

"it!" Jiao Ming scolded angrily, and for the first time had a direct understanding of this inequality.

Huang Xia who was riding a horse, Luo Hua who was waiting in the car, and the servants and noble students in the parking lot all looked at them in surprise, but they couldn't understand Chinese, and they didn't know what Jiao Ming was shouting.

"I also learned today that such a differential treatment is too chilling. Binglian was also a little dissatisfied.

At this moment, Evan Shiran, who was returning to the castle in the same car, walked over with a strange atmosphere, and asked aloud: "What's wrong with the two of you?"

Everyone has arrived, Binglian beckoned to get into the car, and talked about everything on the road. After explaining the cause and effect in a few words, Evan glanced at the angry Jiao Ming, and then asked: "The number of powerhouses in the eighth and ninth rings of the academy is limited, and they are not idlers, so it is understandable to give priority to ensuring our safety, right?"

"I don't want to talk about it. Binglian changed the topic, not only because she didn't want Jiao Ming to be more angry, but also because she understood that the difference in values would only make the conversation deadlocked, so she used the recognized interest calculation to explain her position. "It's just that the seven-ring magician is used to take care of the gray-robed students' competition, the safety guarantee is not enough, and the casualties will also dampen the gray-robed students' enthusiasm for fighting, and the sum of the rings when these five hundred people graduate will inevitably be greatly reduced. Now it is only a salary to hire a few Eight Rings, compared to the huge benefits that can be produced by 500 people in the future, it can be described as a huge benefit, and the college really should not be short-sighted to cut corners here. ”

Evan nodded, agreeing with Binglian's idea, but he was still puzzled by Jiao Ming's anger, and understood that this was not the time to explore, so he had to ask, "Then we have to plan a new proposal on this matter?"

"Exactly. ”

Next, Binglian chatted with Evan all the way, discussing the proposal, and only waited for dinner to finalize it. And Jiao Ming, who was watching this scene, gradually suppressed his anger and depression, and rationally thought about the solution to the problem, in this world, it would indeed only be inexplicable to talk about some great truths that everyone is equal, and realized that although Binglian's plan was tortuous, it was the only way to protect the interests of the gray-robed students at this stage.

At dinner, Xiao Shi leaned over and asked Jiao Ming if he was unhappy, and Jiao Ming reluctantly smiled and said that he was fine. Xiao Shi blinked her eyes twice, she couldn't understand the inconsistency of the adult world, she took a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into Jiao Ming's mouth, and then asked, "Are you happy now?"

Jiao Ming took out his acting skills and finally coaxed Xiaoshi, but was called out again during the experiment, but Emily didn't care why Jiao Ming was depressed, she just said: "Do you want to give you some time to adjust your emotions, don't mess up my experiment." ”

"Just wash your face. Jiao Ming patted his cheeks vigorously and replied.

Five days later, on the day of the final of the noble students, the academy that had already adopted Binglian's suggestion finally took practical action, and the security personnel in the gray-robed student competition became two eight rings. Fortunately, in the past five days, due to the notification and restraint of the student union, although the elimination competition of the gray-robed students became more and more fierce due to the later stage, nothing regrettable happened after all.

Jiao Ming watched all of this and understood why 'angry youth' was a derogatory term in the eyes of many people, because angry emotions did not help solve the problem. And when reason takes over and starts to solve problems, there is no longer an angry youth. On the contrary, to forget about it in a blink of an eye, and to be angry at another injustice, and continue to be angry, this is just a child who loses his temper because he didn't eat candy.

That night, Jiao Ming took time out of the experiment and found Binglian who was about to go back to sleep and thanked him, Binglian pulled Jiao Ming into the bedroom with a red face, chatted for a while about it, and then hugged and kissed each other after a period of silence.

However, when he was about to undress, Jiao Ming's eyes were full of flowers, and he had already returned to the laboratory, and Emily's voice was in his ears: "Why did you go to the toilet for so long?

Jiao Ming's lips, who had been disturbed, moved, but after all, he didn't say anything, smoothed the folds on his clothes, and continued to experiment.

Three days later, as expected, the two teams representing the High School of Magic were defeated, and it was a fiasco, and the peers who had been taught by the master-apprentice inheritance system scored a 5-0 record. The response to this on campus was muted, with the smarter nobles expecting this, and the stupider nobles being indifferent. And those gray-robed students with low backgrounds just watched coldly, and they didn't think that the defeat of a few eldest young masters and eldest ladies had anything to do with them.

Needless to say, the prestige of the academy has been greatly damaged, as for the top management of the Academy of Magic, there are many gossips that are difficult to distinguish between true and false from Evan's intelligence channels, such as the headmaster being scolded by Sasu, such as Sasu smashing things again, and such as the fact that the Advanced Magic Academy will be closed next year.

"But one thing is true. Evan emphasized: "There will be a second battle in half a year, and it will still be in the line of the Advanced Magic Academy and the Alchemist. ”

"It makes sense, how can the academy give in so easily. Jiao Ming said.

"The point is to make a bet, the owner of the academy, Vice President Sasu, has made a heavy bet, and the alchemist is discussing what to bet on. ”

"What bet?" asked Ice Lotus.

"It's embarrassing. Evan laughed.
