Chapter 7 Entrance Ceremony

When Frida, Lorra, and Elsie arrived at the designated location, the freshmen had just finished gathering - Frida counted, even including the native new generation wizards, all the freshmen added up to 27. Of these, 12 were girls and 15 were boys.

In the meantime, Kirton was already waiting for them here, and when he had counted the numbers, he said, "Now, everyone line up and follow me." After saying that, Kirton looked at Frida and smiled, "Frida, you stand first." ”

β€œ...... Yes!"

Frida, who was dizzy, was stunned for a moment, stepped out of the ranks, and walked towards the head of the line.

"Hey, look, she's Frida, a second-class talent. ”

"I heard that she came from another continent...... It's incredible. ”

"Wow! what a beautiful girl......"

"Shhhhhh

"By the way, I just saw Elsie you come with her...... What? You've become friends with Frida already?"

As Frida walked by, a whisper came from among the freshmen.

However, as Kirton's gaze swept over, the voices quickly faded away.

"I don't want to hear a little bit of sound in the next place. Kirton looked at the freshmen and said lightly.

Once Frida was on her feet, Kirton waved his hand and led the group out.

Unlike the usual Smallon Academy, the entire academy was unusually quiet along the way, except for the sound of the freshmen marching forward.

The usual hurried wizard apprentices seemed to have disappeared, except for a few places, such as the old wizard Heywood was still watching the door, and only the owner of the apothecary in the academy was left, but he was also sleepy-eyed - until the freshmen passed by, the shopkeeper waved to them.

What's going on today?

With this in mind, Frida and the others were led into the black castle in the center of the academy, lined up up up a long staircase, crossed the central suspension bridge, and passed through a double door to enter the elegant auditorium.

Frida had never imagined that the academy would treat the new students with such solemnityβ€”the high-level apprentices who had disappeared had all taken their seats on either side of the house, and as far as the eye could see, there were more than a hundred and fifty people, many of whom were third-class witches.

In the center of the auditorium, all the official wizards, including Vera, were seated, and in the center of all the official wizards, an old man with pale hair but full of spirits, must be the headmaster of Smallon Academy.

Led by Fridda, Kirton had the freshmen stand in two rows in front of the center stage, and then Kirton bowed in the direction of the official wizard and stood aside.

The next step should be the principal's lecture.

Frida thought. Sure enough, the old man in the center stood up, starting with Frida, carefully looked at each of the new students, and then looked around at all the wizard apprentices present, and then spoke: "First of all, welcome all new students to join Smallon Academy. Secondly, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you for your dedication to the school over the past three years. ”

"I'm McCarthy, and I'm the twelfth president of Smockon College. Today, it has been six hundred and fifty-eight years since the establishment of Smallon College. The wizarding world has also evolved from a turbulent era a hundred years ago to a partial peace today, and as wizards who guard this realm, we have a great responsibility while enjoying the resources. Today, we are gathered together to pass on Smallon's will to every student who joins Smallon – brave, intelligent, exploratory, and unyielding.

McCarthy said, leading a group of official wizards to the front of the freshmen.

At the same time, the shamans sitting in their seats stood up one after another, and twenty-seven third-class shamans with cloaks and badges came out of them, and stood up for each of the new students.

Standing beside Frida was none other than Diya - Diya at the moment had a solemn face.

Under her influence, and in the solemn atmosphere, Frida was much more sober, and at the same time, the expressions of all the freshmen gradually became solemn.

When Principal McCarthy stood in front of Frida, like a code, sixteen official wizards stood in front of the new students in the back seats (the other eleven new students in the front positions, including Frida, were in charge of the headmaster himself)

Looking at Fridta, McCarthy smiled:

"Child, your name?"

"Frida Ruth Sheena. ”

"Yes, Frida - from today onwards, the Academy will accompany you through the first journey of your wizarding career. McCarthy took the badge in his hand, put it on the gray robe for Frida seriously, and bowed slightly to Frida, "I hope that in the future, the academy will be proud of you." ”

McCarthy finished speaking and moved on to the next freshman.

At the right time, Diya draped her cloak over Frida and whispered, "Congratulations, Sister Frida. ”

"Hmm. ”

Frida nodded, touched the house badge that the headmaster had personally worn, and then looked around, looking at the senior apprentices who were watching them, and a sense of identity and belonging came spontaneously.

Frida suddenly understood the importance of this ritual - to allow Frida, who was half a time-traveler, to recognize Smallon House, not to mention the other freshmen present.

This is the charm of an academy management, and this charm is weaker than the constraints of the contract, but far stronger than the ownership of the contract. This sense of belonging is often the hardest thing for people to betray the academy, and it will instantly bring all the people of the academy closer, whether they are freshmen, old students, or teachers.

Although she knew that she had been tricked, Frida did not feel a trace of disgust.

Yes, that's smart.

Frida thought so, keeping the emblem of the house in her mindβ€”silver on a black background, with two crossed weapons in the center, a witch staff, and a knight's sword.

Pretty handsome, my Smolton Academy.

......

"Now, let me tell you about the rules and taboos of the academy, my name is Kirton Rodney. Looking at the freshmen sitting in a row below, Kirton said lightly: "I am also the person in charge of your issue." ”

As the freshman ceremony ended, the principals, professors, and senior apprentices left one after another, and only Kirton and the freshmen were left in the auditorium.

"Now that you're officially part of Smallon House, haven't you recovered from the ceremony just now?" butβ€”" Kirton glanced at each of the freshmen, "don't rejoice too soon. Every rule and taboo I'm talking about next...... Especially taboos, if violated, then everything you have just experienced is just a joke, because you will be expelled immediately. ”

Elsie raised her hand and said, "My lord, what are the rules?"

"Oh, are you positive? Kirton smiled and walked over to Assie: "Hmm...... I remember you were from the Clark family, right?"

"Yes. Elsie nodded.

"Well, listen to me, the first rule of the academy is that it is not allowed to interject when a professor or apprentice is teaching. Kirton approached Elsie and said, "Including when I speak, do you understand? ”

β€œ...... Yes, I see, my lord. Elsie swallowed and nodded repeatedly.

Kirton glanced at Ash expressionlessly, turned around and paced, "Then, the second point of the academy's regulations is that all students are not allowed to conduct any witchcraft experiments in the dormitory. ”

"Third, witchcraft is not allowed in the corridors, nor is Level Zero. ”

"Fourth ......"

Time passed while Cotton was carrying the rules of the courtyard one by one. There are thirty-six rules, and Corton recited them all without changing his face.

"That's all the rules for Smallon College. At the beginning of the school year, the dormitory administrator has already given you the house rules, asking you to keep them all in mind, of course, you can choose not to memorize them, but I will assume that you already know. ”

Kirton continued: "Now, to talk about the taboos, there are only three. ”

"First, during the school period, the academy does not allow new students to go out, except for those who have related tasks or first-class witches. ”

"Second, the Witch Boat Wharf in the canyon is forbidden for students to enter. Unless you have the relevant passcode, you do so at your own risk. ”

"Thirdly, it is absolutely forbidden for anyone to maliciously damage the school's facilities or steal other people's belongings at any time and in any place. ”

"Once the above three points are discovered, they will be expelled immediately. ”

After Curton finished solemnly, he changed his words and said:

"Finally, let's talk about tuition and courses: tuition fees are two magic stones per person per semester. In terms of courses, there are free courses and paid courses - the basic courses are all free courses and are taught by shamans, and the advanced courses are led by the corresponding professors, and there is an additional fee. Students who have a foundation in Wuwen can directly study basic meditation classes, pharmacy and other disciplines, while students who have not yet learned Wuwen need to study Wuwen first, and can only take other courses after learning it. Of course, if you have a knight qualification, you can also choose a knight class without the witch language requirements. ”

"Any more questions?"

Seeing that no one answered, Kirton waved his hand and said, "Then that's all for today, you can rest well after you go back, and attend classes on time according to the needs of your own courses." If there is something urgent, you can come to me. ”
