Volume I, Chapter Twenty-Six: Students
Mick, who was a thief, tiptoed towards the classroom mold, and was about to enter the classroom door, when suddenly a person rushed out of it and knocked him to the ground.
He looked back and saw a little white face sitting on the ground rubbing his head. Mick, who had not slept all night, was very angry, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
But before he could have a seizure, the little white face was the first to be shocked, and exclaimed: "Aha, you must be the magician who even dared to skip the opening ceremony!"
The boy had a wicked smile on his face, as if he had found a rare creature, which made Mick cry and laugh, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he laughed wryly.
The little white face stretched out his hand to pull up Mick and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Daniel, and I am also a freshman in the Senior Operations Command Department this year. ”
Eavesdropper? Where does this guy look like an intelligence agent? I think it should be called Little White Face......
Mick thought viciously in his heart, shook Daniel's hand, and said, "Hello, my name is Mick and I'm from the north. ”
Daniel winked at him: "I know you, I heard that you have contributed a lot to the alchemy of magic, but I don't know much about magic, so I don't know much." ”
"Ah, where, where, it's just a small achievement, a small achievement. Mick listened to Daniel's compliment, and his impression of the guy in front of him changed greatly.
Daniel smiled slightly, didn't dwell on this issue, and said to Mick: "You come with me, I'll introduce you here." ”
Mick nodded and followed Daniel into the classroom. The classroom is not small, but the actual place for teaching is not large, only a blackboard, a simple lectern, and five desks.
Most of the remaining area is actually a library, consisting of four large shelves three meters high and four meters wide, filled with thick books, and next to a semi-fixed staircase for accessing books.
When Mick and Daniel walked into the classroom, there were three other people in the classroom.
Daniel pointed to the big guy who was picking up the book and said, "That's White Bear Baier, from the Southern Military Region. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice, leaned closer to Mick's ear and added: "This guy is an active soldier, with the rank of lieutenant, a combat hero of the Battle of the Solang River, and was recommended by the Flower Language Legion, one of the four main forces of the empire, to study in our academy. ”
Hearing that he was a combat hero, Mick immediately looked at the big man in front of him, who was nearly two meters tall and full of muscles. He smiled and waved at Byer, but Byer the White Bear only nodded politely.
Before Mick had time to think about it, Daniel pointed to the only girl and said, "Look over there, the girl who is reading a book, she is Elizabeth, a genius girl from one of the six major families, the Ludwig family.
At the age of six, she had awakened the light of a ninth-level intelligent bloodline, and was now a third-level magician, well-known in Maltis's elite circles.
Oh, and her nickname is the Storm Doll. ”
"The Ludwig family?" Mick didn't expect that the quiet girl in front of him would be a member of the six major families, and couldn't help but look at her twice.
Elizabeth was not tall or plump, on the contrary, she looked a little thin.
Her skin is snow-white, her facial features are exquisite, her long eyelashes are especially good-looking, and her black hair is straight and long, almost covering most of her back, giving people a quiet and mysterious feeling, and she is a very special beauty.
Feeling Mick's gaze, Elizabeth the Storm Doll raised her eyelids and glanced at Mick, who immediately greeted her with a smile, but she lowered her head indifferently and continued to read.
"Ignore her, her personality is like this, she is cold to everyone, as if only magic and books can arouse her interest. ”
Daniel whispered an explanation to Mick, then pointed to the boy who was lying on the windowsill looking at the scenery with his chin, and said, "His name is Bruno, he is a civilian, and because of his superior intelligence, he was specially recommended by the military department to study here." ”
"Hello, my name is Bruno, and my nickname is Little Peanut. Hearing Daniel introduce himself to Mick, Bruno, who was full of childishness, preemptively greeted Mick with a shy expression.
Mick also waved at him and said, "Hello, my name is Mick and I'm from the north. ”
"Okay, that's the situation here, there are only five people in our department, which is less than a fraction of other majors. We study war theory here every morning, and in the afternoon, we usually have practical classes on the school grounds, and the specific arrangements will be sent by the teaching secretary in a while. ”
Mick nodded in understanding, and then thought about it in his mind.
Although there are only five students in this special major he is in, each of them is not small, White Bear Baier is a combat hero of the local legion forces, Elizabeth the Storm Doll is a genius girl of the old aristocratic forces, and Little Peanut Bruno is a civilian child recommended by the military department, except for himself, an inexplicable person, everyone else should represent a force.
Thinking of this, Mick asked Daniel, "I said, Daniel, do you also have a background in scaring people to death?"
"No, no," Daniel hurriedly shook his head, "I'm just a good student with excellent character and learning, that's all." ”
He said it with an innocent face, but Mick didn't believe even half a word of it.
Sure enough, before Mick could pierce it, Bruno, the little peanut on the side, couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't listen to him, eavesdropper Daniel, he is the deputy commander of the desert corps stationed in the Western Military District, and the only son of General Echendorf." ”
"Oh...... It turned out to be after the famous general. Mick looked at him with admiration.
Daniel's vanity was immediately greatly satisfied, and although he was complaining about Little Peanut for revealing his old background, anyone could see that he was also quite complacent about his family situation.
"By the way, everyone has a nickname, Mick, you missed the opening ceremony in the morning, and you haven't had time to pick a nickname yet. Little Peanut Bruno said suddenly.
"Nickname?"
"Yes!" Daniel said, "Nicknames are very important, as long as they are in the imperial military system, they must have a nickname that everyone recognizes, and the requirements are in line with their own characteristics." ”
"That's right...... To match my characteristics, let me think about it. Mickmore rubbed his chin in earnestness.
"There is!" After thinking for a while, the corners of Mick's mouth grinned, and he laughed: "Wise Mick, genius Mick, rich Mick or dreamer Mick are all very suitable for my characteristics, but they can only interpret my merits in a certain aspect, and cannot fully show my talent!"
Hearing Mick's boasting, Little Peanut Bruno and the eavesdropper Daniel both showed disdain, and even the White Bear Byer, who was reading a book on the side, couldn't help but laugh softly.
"Uh......" Daniel hesitantly explained, "Mick, everyone's nickname needs to be agreed upon by all the other students, and your proposal obviously didn't get through." ”
"Why?" Mick retorted, "That's because you don't know me yet, I have a lot of advantages as a person, I think Mick is very good as a rich man, but I can't make a living with gold coins......
Just as Mick was foaming at the mouth of the house to introduce himself, Elizabeth, the storm doll who had been reading quietly, suddenly closed the book heavily and said coldly: "Since you can even be late for the opening ceremony, just call Mick, who is late." ”
"Mick the latecomer, this is a good ......"
"Well, that's very appropriate. ”
"No! I don't agree with !!"
In the midst of Mick's hysterical protests, Elizabeth's proposal was unanimously approved by the other classmates, and the nickname "Mick the Latecomer", which later terrified the enemy on the battlefield, was hastily born. It's just that the tardiness at that time was very different from the tardiness of today.
