"Wait a minute, why? Christopher, don't you have anything to say?"

"Don't be so excited, Vina. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Faced with Vina, who could not accept the fact that she was going to be separated from Christopher, who had just opened up to her, Moore knew that her dissuasion and comfort would not mean much, but then again, it was his responsibility as the leader of the Seventh Executive Team of the Association.

"Including making us drink the potion that limits the magic power, the decision-makers above must have a deep meaning for giving such an order, although I can't be sure of the reason, but because ordinary people can't understand it simply, they are the superiors. ”

"Huh, but Christopher ......."

"Don't worry too much, Vina. Moore's words obviously could not convince the sorceress with an anxious look on her face, and at this moment, as if she could not bear the burning gaze of Vina, Christopher, who had been indifferent before, finally spoke, "It's just a temporary departure from the group, just like the last time Captain Lance sent me to deliver a letter." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present except Troy felt shocked.

Although it is not directly related, the last time Christo left the team, the price paid by the team was the loss of Lance, the captain who was the "backbone". I don't know if Christopher did it intentionally or unintentionally, but her words seemed to remind this, which caused a layer of uneasiness and anxiety in everyone's hearts.

"It's unlucky, it's unlucky. ”

Shaking his head, he didn't care about the messy pigtails on his cheeks, and even Ralph, who had never believed in "fate", let out such an exclamation.

"Otherwise, I'd better go and inquire about it. ”

After thinking for a moment, the warrior's usual indifference was also affected, and Mohr immediately turned around, but he couldn't take a step.

He was pulled by Christopher.

"It's okay, everyone. ”

The low and gentle voice calmed everyone's chaotic thoughts in an instant, the unapproachable coldness that habitually surrounded the ice elementalist had not appeared for a long time, and the corners of her delicate mouth looked a little difficult to rise, and now, Christopher felt like a beautiful and delicate, but extremely strong little girl.

"I haven't received any specific tasks yet, but I think it will be carried out inside the School of Magic, so I'm not leaving you. ”

The smile caused the members of the team who knew what he had looked like before to feel inexplicable heartache, and with the exception of Troy, the teenager who was not out of the situation only came to the following conclusion from the conversation of the crowd:

"I'm going to part with Christopher, but not now. ”

"So, what happens if I can't see Christopher around?"

-- There's nothing wrong with that.

Troy seemed to have forgotten the throbbing in his heart when he watched Valery leave in Yaski Harbor, and returned to the calm appearance of his heart even when his family and home were destroyed.

In a sense, it will be considered "cold-blooded", objectively speaking, Troy cannot be called "ordinary" at this point at all, but "abnormal" too much.

On the other hand, while the young man questioned himself in private, the Ice Elementalist restrained his smile, withdrew his slender palm that grabbed the corner of Moore's robe, and slowly walked to Vina's side, blinking her eyes, and suddenly stood on tiptoe, bringing her thin lilac lips to the other party's ear.

"I will never leave you. ”

There is no guarantee of human encounters and separations, but such a commitment is still necessary, and it will allow a heart that has nothing to rely on to find a home and sustenance.

Does being able to say such things mean that I also have a "heart"?

Christopher, who is a puppet but is not rejected by her companions, asks herself in her heart, and the answer is that even the puppet will fall into despair and coldness, and in the chest that is not empty, which contains a strange magic crystal as an "energy", Christow still can't feel that something is beating like a "heart".

"Is it alright, Vina? ”

It wasn't clear what Christopher had said to the sorceress, but Moore keenly observed that Vina's face had softened from apprehension. Knowing that continuing the discussion would only further shake his undetermined will, the warrior quickly pulled out a vial of colorless potion held firmly in his other hand with his left hand, and drank it down without thinking.

According to the order, Moore retrieved the potions from a nearby bar owner who had been stored with them for a long time, and the order mentioned that the potions, which looked like clear water, could effectively limit the mage's magic power to less than half, but the quality or quantity of the limited mana and the duration of the potion were not specified.

"Hey, Boss Mo, you're too fast, aren't you?"

"What's the matter, Ralph, you also have an opinion on the instructions from above?"

Moore swept the gaze of the Northwest Han with a little more majesty, and in the face of his "senior's" suddenly stern words, Ralph still looked like a hippie smile, but the warrior immediately understood what the other party wanted to say next.

"Opinions? Where do I have opinions? As long as Boss Mo thinks it's okay. ”

Moore didn't guess this sentence, and the subtle changes in his "junior" description made him a little confused, who didn't care about the title.

――When did I go from "dude" to "boss"?

"And what do you mean?"

"Hehe,I just want to say,Didn't Vina just say that it was a bit difficult to find out about the entrance exam to the Magic Academy?And you think,Magic Academy,The assessment can't be a test of your basic ability as a warrior, right? It must be something related to magic.。 ”

"Getting to the point. ”

"Hehe, don't worry, here's the point. ”

Seeing that not only the warriors, but Troy, who was regarded as his little brother by default, also cast a curious gaze, plus Vina and Christopher, who were still hugging each other just now, also turned around, and the attention of the remaining four members of the team was attracted by himself at this time, so Ralph, who couldn't help but be a little proud, laughed and amplified his voice, and finally said the content of "Moore has long expected":

"So, Boss Mo, your magic power, which is basically equal to zero, is limited by the potion, how can you pass the assessment of the Magic Academy?

“......”

"Ha, haha......"

That's the truth. ”

"I see, worthy of Uncle Ralph, so thoughtful. ”

Looking up to the sky and laughing, Ralph didn't notice that except for Troy, Vena and Christopher looked at him with "pity" in their eyes, and the smile on the corner of Moore's mouth flashed, he had already decided to give his junior who was always missing something in his head after passing the entrance examination.

Straightforwardness has always been an excellent quality that the Northwater people usually possess, and it is this that makes these horse-riding peoples of the steppes the best soldiers in the eyes of all the generals of Southwell, and the most trustworthy "customers" in the eyes of all the merchants, but many things are "too much", and if the heart is so fast as Ralph, then ......

"May the true God bless you. ”

Shaking her head as compassionately as she did for a dead man, Vina, whose uneasiness had completely dissipated, prayed for Ralph that he would not be caught defenseless in the sack that fell from the sky and beaten up when he walked alone in the night one day.

Well, of course, with Ralph's rough skin and thick flesh, at most he would have been beaten and swollen, right? At this level, he might not even need half a day to be alive again, and it would not affect his future tasks.

......
