Chapter 14: One Year

"So, ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of the basic etiquette education, and I hope that you will not forget what you have learned this year and what you have learned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Ms. Peggy, who wore glasses, straightened up and bowed deeply to the group of children under the podium, 90 degrees was very standard.

The children stood up in full order, bowed to her, and sat down quietly.

Peggy's gray hair was neatly tied up at the back of her head, and her thin cheeks and pointed chin made her look so serious and unapproachable that no child would dare to meet her blue eyes.

She considers herself the only inheritor of etiquette after the demise of civilization.

But Lynch knew she knew nothing but some basic social etiquette, and was strictly perverted.

It's also very standard to bow.

But a deep bow won't do much for an A-cup woman, even if you're wearing a low neckline. Lynch, who was sitting upright in his chair, thought maliciously.

Peggy looked at the children who sat up straight and silent, and showed an extremely reserved smile.

The children knew that whenever Miss Peggy smiled like that, when she was in a good mood, then she would not spend her extra time torturing them, but would just leave class.

"Hopefully we'll see each other again in the future. Class. ā€

The children stood up in rows, lined up from back to front, and went out one by one, except for the slightly messy footsteps, there was no other sound.

Peggy frowned a little and pursed her lips, if she was in normal times, she would definitely stop correcting this kind of untidyness, so that she would be very irritated to listen to the footsteps, but this is the last class, it is better to be more tolerant.

Some of the children here may grow up to a very high position in the future, and it is not a good thing to offend people to death and make these children hold grudges.

"Ah......h

This kind of course, which seemed meaningless to him, was very torturous, but due to his background in the lower city, he had to receive a series of basic education, including etiquette, history, and basic skills.

In Lynch's view, except for history and the use of basic abilities, there is no other use, such as basic knowledge education, he knows what is day, what is night, how long is a day, can he do four operations, this is still needed to learn?

And the use of basic abilities actually doesn't teach anything substantial, it's basically talking about some taboos, and the teacher who teaches the course the rest of the time is either paddling or disappearing. That's when Miss Peggy will come in and tell everyone that the teacher has something to do, and she'll come over to substitute for the teacher.

"Your body will have a buffer period of about a year, and it will be about a year before it will grow differently depending on the stars you communicate. ā€

"Don't use your abilities during this time, or you will be eaten by the possessed spirits, and you will be no different from those who failed the previous test. ā€

That's probably all there is to use in this lesson.

As for history, Lynch came to the class with great interest, but the only useful information he got was the teacher's opening remarks at the beginning of the history class:

"About 3,000 years ago, our world was not covered with black fog, there was day, there was night, and of course there were stars, and the world was extremely prosperous at that time, and it is rumored that there were even people in some places who did not rely on the stars and used other powers. Until that day, an unknown black fog suddenly descended......"

The rest of the content is not interesting, basically all about the struggle of the Christian family, that is, the royal family, after the black fog fell, to build houses, take in the people, and then build such a miracle city, the only hope of mankind and other touted words, it sounds like the story of the troubadour in the tavern, can only be amusing.

Why the black fog is coming, the origin of the eternal fire is not mentioned.

"Hey! Lynch!"

Someone tapped him on the shoulder, and then ran up to him, it was the red-haired kid who had passed through the basket before, and he was now Lynch's little brother, at least Lynch thought so.

"Barney. ā€

"Lynch, have you figured out what you're going to do?"

Not every possessed person will end up on the path of patrol combat, in fact, compared to the fire relay, the disadvantages of the possessed are very obvious.

The first is that the Flame Bearers can use their abilities without hesitation, everyone has a talent for controlling the flames, some will awaken a second talent during their growth after a year, and some possessed talents cannot even be used in combat.

Secondly, most of the Flame Bearers are physically better than those possessed, they are either more flexible or stronger, and always have an advantage in physical confrontation.

Last but not least, the possessed person who cannot perfectly control his power is a time bomb for those around him, and the spirits attached to him will grow with the growth of the host, and if they cannot be controlled well, it will be a disaster if it erupts.

However, although the innate conditions of the possessed are not as good as those of the Flame Inheritor, everyone's growth ceiling is the same.

It is said that Ning Yue, the vice captain of the Royal Guard, the second-in-command of the entire city's elite gathering place, and one of the six elders of the Inner Ring, is himself a possessed, and he also bears the name of the head of the possessed branch of the academy, but Lynch has never seen him in the past year. It was only at the time of the initial test that Lynch seemed to have met him once.

It can only be said that the previous etiquette knowledge has not been inherited, and these vain things have never changed.

"Lynch?" Barney, who was walking next to Lynch, saw that Lynch did not respond for a long time, so he called him again.

"Well, oh, I'm going to go to the Guards. ā€

Although it is called the Royal Guard, it has basically nothing to do with the royal family, and it may have been related to it before, but now it is a completely independent force of the royal family, and basically only responsible to the council composed of elders.

The people who patrol the night patrol with lanterns in the outer ring area are basically all members of the guards, both those who carry the fire and those who possess them, but only those who are strong enough to enter are eligible to enter. That's all you know about Guard Lynch.

"Wow, the guards, but if it's you Lynch, it should be easy to get into the guards! Your sister Luo Yu will help you, too!" Barney winked at him.

Luo Yu was born very high, and his own strength is strong, I heard that in just seven years, he got the induction of four stars, awakened three talents, and he is also very diligent, and he is the best among the new generation of fire inheritors.

Whenever parents in the inner ring area reprimand their children, they often say: "Look at Luo Yu from others, and then look at you! Can't you learn from others?"

is a child of someone else's family, and his appearance is outstanding, Luo Yu is simply an idol-like existence in the hearts of most children in the inner ring area.

Luo Yu occasionally came to the academy to see Lynch and his friend Ying Lan who stayed in the academy to work, and every time he came to see Lynch, it would cause a sensation among the children in the inner ring area, and over time, even the children in the outer ring area knew about Ying Lan's existence.

This made Lynch very frustrated, because he didn't like the feeling of being in the limelight, and it would cause him some trouble.

But it's better to change the topic now, every time I mention Luo Yu, Barney, it seems that there are a lot of things to say.

"Where are you going?"

"Me? Barney laughed, scratching the back of his head with his right hand, and the already messy red hair was even more messy like this: "It would be nice if I could stay in the academy, I really can't be a guard in the inner ring, I don't want to go back to the outer ring." ā€

The talents of the possessed are good and bad, and the possessed ones whose talents cannot be used in battle actually account for a large number, and they have very little choice, and generally they will be arranged by the academy to go to the outer ring to do some chores, and some will be retrained when doing these things.

As for what to train, the academy does not say. But this is definitely not a good errand, it is also in the outer ring, the status is low, and the treatment is not as high as that of colleagues in the guard, maybe only a little more vacation.

"Tomorrow is the day of fire, I'm so nervous. Barney, who had just scratched his hair, began to rub his red face again.

Tomorrow's Fire Day is the day when the possessed choose their way out and officially begin their college life, and it is also the day when the residents of the lower city go out. But the fire day in this world is different from that of Earth, and in Lynch's opinion, there is no pattern, not once every seven days.
