Chapter 1 Have you ever seen College City at five o'clock in the morning?

The day in College City usually starts at 6:30 a.m. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn the summer, the sky is only hazy, and in the winter, it is completely dark. The starry sky here is not as dense as it is in the mountains and wastelands, perhaps because it is farther from the sky as a city in the valley, and more likely, as rumored to be, it is shrouded in a huge barrier.

At this time, the students would get out of bed and rush to the building that they had decided to go to on this day a long time ago, so the vendors and shops put up signs and started working. Before and after they arrive at the classrooms, libraries, training grounds, laboratories, and so on, teachers will also show up and start teaching.

In contrast, handymen can go to bed a little later. At about seven o'clock, when most of the students and vendors have disappeared from the streets, they need to get up from their beds and clean up all kinds of waste left by those people, or repair some of the hapless facilities that have been destroyed, or to maintain order.

From the point of view of sleep alone, handymen are perhaps one of the most comfortable people in College City, if we ignore the fact that they have to do their last shift at one or two o'clock in the morning and go to bed after that.

The young Imperial mage apprentice, Brunei, was one of the most comfortable of the group, and one of the most promising of them all—after all, the other handymen were either sixty or seventy years old, or they were unlucky enough to be even mage apprentices.

Perhaps because of the most promising of things, Brunei would get up earlier every morning than anyone else, go out carefully with his precious suitcase, and in the winter when it was dark because it would be dark, take a portable light source that handyman few would buy, and stand alone outside the handyman's dormitory, or a huge hollow quadrangle, doing something that only a student would do.

[It's really hard. 】

Today is the same day. Even when most of the students were still sleeping peacefully in bed, Brunei was already in the cold wind, opening the treasure boxes that many of his colleagues were curious about, taking out the old and broken textbooks that others had thrown away, and studying them carefully.

[Let me see, what is it this time - "The Symbolic Meaning of Symbols and the Principles of Emblem and the Composition of the Magic Array"?Oh, the length of the damn name, does the author think he wrote a light novel!]

Brunei's book is very fast—and there is no way to do it, even if it is also garbage, this book is one of the most remarkable, every page is covered with ink stains and colored imprints of other liquids, and it smells of curiosity that can't be washed off, and if a part is not defiled by any dirt, it probably means that it is a huge hollow.

This made Brunei's mood worse, if it weren't for the silence around him, he couldn't even hear the insects he was used to hearing in the mountains and forests, and he was worried that he would wake up the sleep of his colleagues in the house, he would have slammed the book on the ground to vent his anger. It's a pity that if it's just a if after all, fortunately, he still has a venting channel that doesn't need to make any sound.

"I'm so annoying! can you be a little quieter!" Brunei screamed angrily at the system in his heart, and it was indeed much more enjoyable.

[Hey, you ungrateful scum! Lao Tzu made you a mage! Lao Tzu helped you rush into the advanced dungeon to slaughter the city! Lao Tzu even saved the lives of you and the other two scum with you! You have to take care of both words!]

Brunei snorted coldly, dismissive of the system's rebuttal that had barely changed the words for so long, casually threw aside the textbook that only had a cover and could read what was written clearly, and put his hand into his box-

Then he took out nothing, sighed a little unpleasantly, and began to pack his things.

Boy, I've told you many times, right? It's useless to learn like this. Yesterday you read "The Mage's Self-cultivation",The day before yesterday it was "Theoretical Exploration of Spell Casting Requirements and Super Demon Skills.,Today I'll look at light novels.,This kind of learning method with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west.,In the end, at best, it's just a few fragments stuffed into your mind.。 】

[Not to mention that many of the textbooks you read have significant deficiencies in key parts - well, all of them.] 】

"......" Brunei was silent for a while, breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered, not so much talking to the system, but almost to himself, "System, you are not worthy of my trust." I've told you that many times, right?"

【...... If I have ill will towards you, why didn't I just kill you? You are often weak and mostly defenseless, and I, you know, can easily take out two second-turn mages and one first-third mage. 】

The corners of Brunei's mouth curled up slightly, his lips closed, and as he spoke, he had already packed up the box, tiptoed open the door, and returned to the Chase bunk, known as the dormitory, and passed over the corpse-like sleeping human body, and advanced to his bed.

At the same time, he said with some joy in his heart: "Who knows? You don't look like the kind of person who likes to be rough." ”

[Hey!Don't tell me meat jokes!I know more than you've ever eaten!]

Like most of the time, their conversations almost always end with one party lashing out over a joke.

Brunei had walked over to his bed, or rather the thick straw on the floor, and his quilt was rather clean, white, soft, thick, and looked quite valuable compared to his pathetic mattress. And next to his bed, where the bedding was the highest-end in this big house, the boy who was unusually white had already sat up.

Brunei raised his eyebrows, took two steps forward, and found that the young man's eyes were following his figure, so he nodded, sat down on his own thatch, and asked nonchalantly while pulling on the straw, "Do you know me?"

The boy was unimpressed by his strange and abrupt question, smiled softly, and nodded, "Well, you're Brunei." ”

"Oh. Brunei sold the iron box, glanced at the young man, and said as if he was used to it, "This is the case this time." Well, do you know how many days you can last?"

The boy continued to nod: "This time is very long. About three months. I'm sorry for you this time. ”

"You're welcome. The corners of Brunei's mouth twitched, probably laughing, but he didn't express any polite aura, and continued, "If you really don't want to go, you might as well find a short job to compensate." Do you need my help?"

The young man thought carefully for a while and shook his head: "No." I see, it looks like you're having a hard time right now. ”

[He's laughing at you, you're poor, do you want to beat him up?] This kind of ungrateful little bastard must be taught a good lesson. 】

The boy's words did make Brunei feel a little uncomfortable, but now that the system said so, he suddenly felt that kind of thinking was ridiculous, so he just smiled and didn't speak. Then he silently said in his heart: "System, do you know? This kind of game of pointing at Sang and scolding Huai is not only stupid, but also very unstylish. ”

Well, well, let's put an end to this pleasant game of mutual taunts for a moment and get to the more serious point. I think there are a few things that we both agree on: first, you still haven't given up your desire to continue your progress as a mage, second, you don't want me to teach you anything about magic unless absolutely necessary, and third, you can't do without me. There's no problem with that, right?]

Brunei thought for a moment: "Don't you understand this very well? Also, shouldn't the third point be added, and you can't do without me?"

[You're too confident, little Bruneith.] It's true that I've been helping you, but that doesn't mean—]

Brunei interrupted the system's words directly in his heart: "System, you are very bad at lying. I probably told you?"

【...... Well, thirdly, you can't live without me, and for the most part, you're also the object I need, okay?"

He nods his head in recognition - although theoretically the system does not see his nod at all, but in practice it may be because of the idea of approval in his mind, and although he does not speak in his heart, there is no obstacle to such communication.

[Very good.] So, let's find a way to become an auditor!]

"Auditor, what's that?" Even though they've been together for months, the system still pops up a few unheard words for Brunei every now and then, and he's pretty used to it now.

Just like the leaders of the Education Bureau who came down to inspect, sitting in the last row, playing with their mobile phones or napping in class like ordinary students, but they have a particularly transcendent status!

Brunei automatically ignored the middle sentence of the system's unclear meaning, and said with interest: "Of course it is best if it can be done." How?"

[First of all, the first step is-well, the first step is, it's time for you to sweep the streets.] 】

"Huh?" Brunei was stunned for a moment, looked around, and found that many people had already gotten up and started to do some pre-work preparations, and then realized that it was very close to seven o'clock at the moment.

Brunei sighed, took out a black cloth, covered the lower half of his face, and tied a knot at the back of his head with two ends, read it softly, a pale yellow halo flashed on his fingers, and the level 0 spell "Stabilize the knot", and then shook his head vigorously, after confirming that the black cloth had no intention of falling, he cheered up and said: "Then, let's get to work!"
