Lonnie got up and looked at the sun today, and the bright and soft light was shining high above, which indicated that it was another good day, but he was not happy.

His internship wasn't very punctual and regular, but he still couldn't get ready to go to work, and in fact he would have liked to finish it now, if possible.

But this 'wish' was already frustrated before it even started, and it all started on the day the internship list was announced!

As a reward for the exchange conference, all the students who participated in the internship were very enthusiastic about this special arrangement, but this did not include Lonnie!

He has always been at the bottom of the class, whether it is in studies or other aspects, he has no interest in any aspects, if in the early years when he was just promoted to the advanced class, the high-spirited young man imagined that he was making progress like a bamboo, and after graduation he was rewarded by the powerful, joined the guild, promoted to important positions, and easily earned wealth and prestige. Since then, it is still very normal to walk on the pinnacle of life, even if he was hit frequently and did not make him lose his positive attitude, then now his heart is already like a pool of stagnant water, even if someone tells him that he can directly recommend him to participate in the exchange conference held early next year, his heart is estimated to have no waves.

Because all the signs in the past few years have shown that he is not a high-level alchemist at all!

In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that as a student of the advanced alchemy class, his status as a student with superb skills and a bright future is enviable, but the people in it have a bitter self-knowledge, and Lonnie has a particularly real understanding of this.

It is important to know that where there are people in this world, there will be competition and comparison, and there will be skilled geniuses who will naturally have vassals who are difficult to carve from rotten wood, and the different references are chosen, and these two identities will be changed in an instant before you have time to notice.

To be able to enter the advanced class is naturally an elite with excellent qualifications, but after entering, what about studying and competing with classmates of your level at the very least, even if your talent is superior to ordinary people, it is really not easy to maintain the motivation to move forward under the pressure of a boat against the current, and Lonnie is sad to find that his talent is not outstanding here.

His academic performance was deteriorating, he was at the bottom of his class, and he had received a warning from his teacher for the third time in a row that if his grades did not improve, he would be re-demoted, and he had already been disheartened by himself, and at this time, even if the internship arrangement suddenly appeared to give him a chance to slow down, at best, it was only a few months of respite.

He didn't believe that he could make any big improvements in these few months, as long as he returned to school for an assessment, his true colors of the crane tail would be revealed again, and at that time, he would be beaten back to his original form as a member of the elite, and all he could do was wait, no matter how much he struggled, it would be in vain.

So when the list was announced, it was found that he was assigned to the alchemy master Maines, a famous alchemy research scholar in the empire, as an assistant, he did not have a trace of joy and expectation in the face of the envious and jealous eyes of other classmates.

Originally, this internship was just a time for him to be a gangster and a hard time, even if he was assigned to the master's door, what if he was reborn all at once in three months, that is not an inspirational story, it is a myth and legend!

When it came time for the internship to begin, Lonnie, who had met Mains for the first time, had a firm idea, and although he was not yet sixty years old, he could only be considered middle-aged at best, but he really felt like a dull old man.

The emaciated body seemed to have just recovered from a serious illness, the wide robe swayed back and forth on the body, and the bruised hands were almost associated with some evil creature if it weren't for Lonnie as a student who had little knowledge outside the house.

And the most difficult thing for him to accept is not the temperament of Maines, but the character he embodied in the subsequent contact, because from the content of this internship, in essence, he does more things like an apprentice than an assistant, although he has met all kinds of mentors in the academy Lonnie before, some are taciturn, some are not smiling, and some are stern and irritable, but I have never seen this type of Maines.

If I had to sum up one word to describe him, it would be apathy!

There seemed to be nothing else in his life except the study of alchemy, and the point was that he could not communicate, and he basically did not say a word to Lonnie except for the preparations that needed to be done every day, oh! no, there were other times when he spoke, and that was when he pointed out and corrected the mistakes that Lonnie had made, and this was quite frequent.

Since the first day of meeting, Miles has been assigning him work, and he has been making mistakes constantly, although as a mentor Mains was not very angry when correcting him, and explained it clearly, it still made Lonnie feel very awkward, because Miles's tone was too indifferent.

It's as if the other party never expected him to do it right, but just gave him a polite guidance. Naturally, there will be no emotion because of his mistakes! Is there anything more frustrating than this?

Therefore, during this period of internship, Lonnie was even more determined to give up the idea of learning alchemy, and he didn't even want to waste time on the internship anymore, but he didn't directly put it into action, because the day before yesterday, when the internship instructor visited for the first time, they were fortunate enough to see Maynes's rare state of madness!

Because he interrupted Maynes's experiment when he came to speak, he watched Mr. Cheney, who had always been hot-tempered in the academy, scolded and driven out of the door, and he didn't dare to fight back during the period!

For the first time, I knew that my intern boss still had such a hot side, and at the same time, I also experienced his fame and status in the circle of peers, so I naturally didn't dare to show the idea of giving up halfway in front of it.

However, Lonnie did not give up on this idea, because he felt that it would not be long before he could make Mynes unbearable if he behaved like this, and at that time, as long as the indifferent boss showed any dissatisfaction with him, he could continue to dig into it, such as saying a few words at the right time, or showing impatience, as a student and a young man, it is not an innate talent to cause annoyance and anger!

And his mistakes don't have to happen deliberately at all, and acting in his true colors can achieve his goal.

No, it's coming!
