Chapter 4: You're short, your whole family is short!

The narrow alley was deserted except for a few broken cardboard boxes on the ground and dark and mildew-stained walls that didn't let in sunlight.

In the early spring, I don't know if the blazing tide face is red, or if it is a little hot from being crowded by this group of cats. It was like a heat stroke, and my head swayed and I lost my center of gravity. His eyes shimmered a faint red light in the dark alley.

She threw the bear in her arms to the ground, and stretched out her hands like a puppet to gather the little magic that was left to her fingertips to maintain control.

As if given life, the bear fell to the ground, and began to move its soft body and limbs covered with cotton like a puppet. And then it starts to get bigger.

"You clingy guys have had enough trouble, don't think that the tiger is not powerful, just because I am a stupid cat like you!"

The color of the red pupils in the eyes began to grow thicker and thicker, flashing like a blazing flame. And the little bear on the ground, whose body was gradually getting bigger, also faded from its cute appearance.

The decorative threads that sewn the mouth began to crumble one by one, and a random flame began to ignite in the magic circle that unfolded under his feet.

The soft cotton wool gently lifted the blazing body high with both palms, and dragged the kittens that adhered to her body down.

"Dores, get out of here." Blazing Tide sat on the bear's shoulder and pointed straight ahead, wishing to leave the group of cats immediately.

The bear, who had received orders from his master, began to run wild in this narrow alley. Because of the fear of the flames, the cats wanted to chase but did not dare to approach, so they had to watch the blazing tide sit on the bear's shoulder and go farther and farther.

But before he could get far, the bear that had been given life by magic had already gone from jogging to a difficult walk like an old man.

"Doris, let's go, let's go!"

Blazing Tide patted its shoulder angrily, and the red light in its pupils became more and more obvious. But it was under this command, which was like a spell. Instead of speeding up as she had hoped, Donoris slammed back to her original size.

The bear, which suddenly reverted to its original form, caused Blazing Tide to tumble out of the air, knocking over the trash can next to the alley, and leaving him in a mess.

"Damn."

Blazing Tide knew that all the remaining magic power in her body had been used up, so she picked up the garbage at hand and threw it aside, and occasionally people passing by saw her embarrassed appearance and hid their faces and snickered and walked away quickly.

But before she could finish venting her temper, a faint cat meow behind her made her wake up instantly. Hurriedly got up and ran around.

"Doris, keep up."

Behind her, Dorith the Ragdoll bear, who had just changed into the original and had not yet lost all her magic, also staggered to her feet at the command, squeaking and twisting with her cotton body, following the blazing tide ahead.

After running all the way, Blazing Tide leaned over the stop sign on the side and gasped for breath. Behind her, Doroth had exhausted her remaining mana, and she followed in a hurry, finally falling at the feet of Blazing Tide.

The blazing tide, who had breathed evenly, picked up the bear and hugged it in his arms again, looked around for a while, but found that what was in front of him was not at all the only way from home to school that he had already looked through many times at home.

Blazing Tide, who was only trying to get rid of the cats behind him, realized that he was afraid that he was lost.

The first time she left the house to go outside, she was in a hurry and didn't know what to do with the dilemma in front of her, watching the time pass minute by minute, but she didn't know what to do except for the silent thought of being motionless in place.

Suddenly, Blazing Tide was lifted up from under his armpit and held it high: "Children, can't you see the stop sign clearly?" Uncle hug you..."

As soon as the words fell, the blazing tide's face suddenly warmed up and turned red.

"You're a child, your whole family is a child!"

After screaming and breaking free from these big hands, Blazing Tide instinctively turned around and kicked the strange man who kindly lifted her to look at the bus stop sign.

But as soon as he raised his finger to light a flame to teach this man a lesson, a flash of light on his fingertips turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated into the air before everyone could recognize that it was a fire.

The people waiting on the side of the road instinctively moved a few steps away from Blazing Tide after seeing this scene, although it was only a short moment, they could also see what Blazing Tide had just burned on their fingertips.

Although ordinary people's magic systems can coexist peacefully, the disparity in all aspects still makes them choose not to have too much to do with the magic holders.

"yes, I'm sorry, I thought you were a child..."

The man who was kind enough to help but was inexplicably kicked apologized with an embarrassed smile while rubbing his aching calves that were kicked by the blazing tide.

"Damn, haven't you seen anyone who looks short."

Blazing Tide ignored the other party's nodding apology, and while her mouth was broken and she was complaining, she kicked the bus stop sign that was a little tall to her and embarrassed her in public.

In the end, Blazing Tide didn't say anything to the uncle, just muttered in a low voice of loss. Then, after watching the people on the platform get on the bus one after another, they have been entangled for a long time and want to ask for directions, but they don't say anything.

But at the same time, he silently said in his heart, "Cut, are you hated again......

Just as people were getting into the car, there was a girl next to her who was looking at the blazing tide with all her thoughts. And I've been watching her since she's been alone here.

"Are you going to Sky Island Academy?"

There was no one around, and her voice floated out softly, and Xu Rao was next to the blazing tide.

"Hmm." Blazing Impatient Answer.

The girl in front of her had waist-length hair, pale pink hair, and dark blue eyes. At the first glance, there is a feeling that the depth of the eyes is absorbed, and it is difficult to control it. and the tall and perfect body that Blazing Tide admires so much, that it is impossible to take his eyes off her.

But although she seemed to be friendly when she took the initiative to talk, Chi Xi still felt a little bit of the cold arrogance in her bones.

"Come with me, it just so happens that I'm going to Sky Island Academy too. But depending on the time, we should all be late. The girl smiled and walked to Blazing Tide's side, her gaze seemed to undoubtedly sweep over Blazing Tide's short height and flat figure, and then smiled faintly.

"If you're late, you're late, what's the big deal." In fact, Blazing Tide was happy to have someone to walk with her, but he couldn't express gratitude and joy in his mouth. The attitude is tough, but he still follows closely.

"You're a freshman?" The girl walked in front and looked slightly sideways at the blazing tide.

"Well, you too?"

"Sort of, but I'm not like you. I'm here with my master, the exclusive envoy—" A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and her dark blue eyes seemed to shine briefly at that moment.

Blazing Tide suddenly stopped when he heard this, and his body became a little stiffer. Because now she's just an ordinary magic power holder. However, in order to enhance their abilities and better protect their masters, the so-called 'exclusive emissary' is allowed to use their strength to devour other mana holders to increase their own abilities.

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of magic messenger who just raises from the wild." The girl chuckled.

"Even if you are, you have to have that ability." Although Blazing Tide didn't know if he could defeat her, he still didn't want to kill his morale.

"Hey, if you don't change your temper, I'm afraid it's hard to make friends." The girl seemed to see that Blazing Tide was arguing with herself with a dead duck's mouth, and although she didn't want to say anything, she reminded her a little.

"It doesn't matter if you have friends or not."

"Oh, is it? What about the boyfriend, doesn't it matter? The girl smiled and bent down, expecting to open up the conversation and become acquainted. Unexpectedly, what I saw was the blazing tide that blushed with shame for what he said casually.

"You, what do you see?"

Blazing Tide blushed and didn't know what to do for a while, but suddenly reached out and grabbed the head of the girl who was looking at his face, and then slammed it with his forehead!

Unprepared, the girl took two steps back and crashed into a nearby tree. Tears sobbed from the corners of his eyes, and one hand rubbed his reddish forehead that had been hit by the blazing tide.

After being hit by the blazing tide, the girl was unusually obedient and quiet just now. Rubbing his forehead, he walked up the ramp alone without looking back. It was as if he was deliberately keeping a distance from the blazing tide behind him.

Seeing this, Blazing Tide hurriedly followed, after all, she was the only one who could take her to Sky Island Academy now.

On the long slope, a few petals sometimes fall from the slope to the distance between the two of them.

Meet for the first time, talk, and move forward together. It seems strange, but they all leave some very subtle and unforgettable feelings in each other's hearts...

It was almost noon when she arrived at the academy, and the girl stopped talking to Blazing Tide after what had happened.

"Hey, what's your name?" When they broke up, Blazing Tide suddenly yelled at her, who was going in the opposite direction from herself.

"What, am you hooked on me?" The girl turned around, stroked her long, pale pink hair that naturally drooped, muttered to herself, squeezed out a far-fetched smile and left.

When she came to the college's freshman registration office, she was the only one left here because she was too late. and the teacher who sat alone in the office and was so angry that he burst on his forehead when he saw her.

"Another spring is coming so quietly and silently, and the freshmen who have just entered the school are being chased, but why hasn't anyone found out about a mature woman like me! When I'm wasting a lot of time here taking care of you stinky children, I'm afraid that the flower of my love will have already withered and there won't even be a leaf left..."

The teacher was so gloomy that he was indignant while registering the student information for Blaze.

"Huh?!" Blazing Tide tilted his neck, looking dazed.

"Smack!" The teacher slapped the registration form on the table heavily: "Don't let me find out that you have no concept of time, a short and naïve little ghost is engaging in male-female relations in the academy, otherwise ......"

As he spoke, the teacher got up, and the big dark face with the light on his back gradually approached the blazing tide. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and punched the wall behind him.

A few patches of white wall ash fell off in response, and the fiery cold sweat that I couldn't figure out the situation in a moment was frightened.

"Alright, let's do a magic test."

“…… Uh-huh. Blazing Tide nodded stiffly, and then followed the teacher, who looked completely zombie, out of the office.
