Section 2: Slap in the face before promotion (II)
Section 2: Slap in the face first and then promote (II
In this process, the Jacques branch president smiled silently, not in a hurry at all.
Hearing this, Bernard couldn't help but shiver.
However, not many people in the crowd expressed surprise at this sentence. Because Towngson's posture has said it all, he is so weak, but he has always taken the initiative, he has never been afraid of Bernard
Although the battle did not take place, everyone understood that Berner had already lost the battle in this jiāo front, and he was completely defeated
So Bernard's withdrawal, + passion and Townsend's ferocity are normal.
Bernard walked lonely to the corner of the hall, he shrank into the shadow of the column, lowered his gaze and remained silent. He was detached in the past, but at this time, his face was disgraced, and there was no one around him, and the strangers in this direction all moved away as if they were hiding from the plague.
Compared with the two, there was something different in everyone's eyes at Townsend than before, and there were more smiles accompanying them. At the same time, Edvina in the distance put away the smile on her face and glared at Townsend with her hazy and tangled gaze - but only saw one side.
Because at this time, Townsend was listening intently to the chief examiner's Jiāo generation, preparing to receive the information and rewards of the junior ability master.
"Townsend Quelsa, after being recognized by the West Coast Branch of the Psychic Master Guild, with my professional judgment, your special promotion has been successful, and from now on, you will be a glorious Psychic Master" The chief examiner was refreshed and announced with a smile: "Because your situation is relatively special, the question of mentor selection and other issues has been postponed for the time being, and we will complete the other procedures first." ”
"Listen to me. Townsend replied humbly.
"Townsend, Quelsa," the examiner's face straightened, and then his whole temperament changed—he stared at Townsend almost fiercely, and his roar was deafening: "Under the gaze of the supernatural power, you ask yourself, do you have enough reason and firm conviction to embark on the path of supernatural ability?
"Yes" Townsend looked back at the examiner and replied tepidly: "My reasons are sufficient, and my convictions are firm." ”
"Townsend, Quelsa, under the gaze of the supernatural power, ask yourself if you have the courage to pursue a brilliance greater than the galaxy?"
"Do you have the ability to tell the difference between truth and falsehood?"
"Do you have the sanity to give up everything just for the sake of your vows?"
"Do you have the determination to distinguish between good and evil, black and white, beauty and ugliness, life and death, just to climb to the pinnacle of supernatural abilities and observe all laws?"
"I-have" a strange, unfamiliar, unexpected but touching oath rolled in his ears, Townsend stared condensed, and the tip of his tongue spat out a categorical answer: "I can"
"The sage of the future," the chief examiner said with a solemn face, closing the golden tray presented by his assistant, "Please accept the robe of the Miracle Master." ”
With one hand raised and draped the robe diagonally over Townsend, the examiner held up another tray and chanted, "Please grant Townsend Quelsa the Psychic Badge to Townsend Quelsa."
Jacques let out a string of hearty laughs and strode over, leaving his left hand a little in the air, and the xiǎo box on the golden tray floated, moving to Townsend and unlocking it with a "snap".
Townsend lowered his gaze and saw a round metal badge. It lies quietly in the bright red velvet grooves, and although it is made of unknown metal, it is not heavy, but gives a delicate beauty.
The surface of the slight arc, without a trace of artificial carving, is covered with natural ornamentation, gathered like a whirlpool, surrounding the crystal clear gem in the center, and the vertical flow is like a cloud, stretching along the arc of the badge to the edge. There is a strange light circulating in the ornamentation, although it is not easy to detect, but the occasional flash of brilliance is amazing
"That's your badge. Jacques was not in a hurry, he stood in front of Townsend and said in a deep voice, "Do you like it?"
"That's my badge. Townsend didn't immediately answer Jacques's question, but just looked at the badge very attentively.
Townsend reached out his right hand, his fingertips caressing the lines on the edge of the badge.
How long has it been during this time? Suffering, hard work, countless pains, discouragement, and even almost giving up, this junior ability master badge is finally placed in front of him
From now on, he is an upright anomaly, and he is finally not an unarmed and defenseless fish belly
Townsend's mind moved uncontrollably, becoming more and more violent. In a trance, the disaster in Harveytown, the battle in the Ronda Mountains, and the arduous escape from the trek passed through his mind.
"This is the world of the strong, I must be stronger, I must be stronger"
His fingers made circles, two, and three circles around the edge of the badge, slowly and solemnly, and finally, as if with all the strength of his body, his fingertips touched the central gem.
Just listening to the sound of "ding", there was a shining light on the gem, which pierced people so much that they couldn't open their eyes.
He had already been told by Marcia about the mystery of awarding the badge, so Townsend was not panicked at this time, he let the light wash over his body, and gradually sank into the fluttering light and shadow.
The light was silver at first, then golden, green, and blue...... After leaving Townsend's body, the various lights and shadows are like clear and soft làng, churning and rushing in the vast hall, condensing and condensing between the pillars, reflecting the beauty of the mi, real but untouchable.
When the light and shadow dissipated, Townsend looked at it again, and found that the gem on the badge had turned an unusually bright red sè, and there was something like liquid flowing in it.
"Your badge has chosen the path for you, passionately, heroically, and without hesitation. Jacques nodded in relief, and with his left hand, the shiny badge flew out of the box and was pasted in front of Townsend: "Congratulations on the promotion, traveler with me." ”
"My honor, the walker who trekked before me. Townsend covered the front of Xiong with his right hand, and the light on the badge slowly converged, and even the fine ornaments were changing, until the entire surface of the badge was covered with a layer of inconspicuous metal.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a quaint metal badge, but in the eyes of the people on the scene, Townsend Quelsa's badge is still so brilliant and dazzling, bright red, and has not changed in the slightest
In the promotion hall, there was finally applause, and one after another the Anomalies raised their hands and sincerely congratulated Townshend. The applause gradually became more and more enthusiastic, hitting the surrounding stone walls back and forth, like water boo dàng ripple bo, with a thunderous momentum
At this moment, the Psychic forgot about Townsend's misdeeds, forgot his nickname, and were only moved by his achievements and bravery. Townsend draped in a gorgeous robe, thanking the strangers around him, this kind of etiquette does not need to be taught, and there will be no mistakes if you have a heart.
"Congratulations, Townsend," Marcia walked over, her eyes already misty, "You've finally become an anomaly." ”
"Congratulations, Marcia, you've finally led me to this path-" Townsend smiled at the eldest sister of the beautiful ** person, "Since we first met, you have been nervous, and now you can finally rest assured, right?"
"Reassured of you? Not necessarily. Marcia shook her head, but her face was full of joy: "Actually, I am very conflicted in my heart, if you have this identity, the trouble will become bigger and bigger in the future, right?"
"Man, it's probably running back and forth between getting into trouble and remedy. Townsend disagreed, in fact, Marcia also knew that Townsend would not stick to the identity of a paranormal master, he had already carried a heavy mission on his shoulders.
But on the other hand, Townsend's charisma shines through – what could be more satisfying than seeing him beat the test and achieve goals that countless people would never have imagined?
"Let's not stay here, the promotion hall is about to become a banquet hall, they have been aggrieved for a long time, and they will definitely make a fuss. Jacques walked over from the side: "Townsend, Marcia, come with me, there are some things for you to do." ”
The two of them followed Jacques out of the hall, first meeting Vahu, who was smiling from ear to ear, and then accepting the congratulations of their apprentices--the Americans, who had been frightened before, could they still control it when they saw Townsend succeed? Ten people rushed up at once, some rushed directly into Townsend's arms, and some hugged them and did not let go, their adoring eyes were hot, sticky, and intoxicating.
Surrounded by all beauties, Tingting was hired, and others were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Marcia, who was pushed aside, coughed dryly, reminding Townsend not to be too far away. Although the relationship between the master and the apprentice is extraordinary, and the intimacy between teachers and students is not prohibited within the guild, there are too many viewers nowadays......
"I'm looking forward to the scene of your successful promotion. Townsend smiled evilly: "Don't let me down"
"Hun, I remember you," Marcia scolded, because the unsuccessful apprentices she had chosen were all men.
After all, the NV children are still shy, and as soon as the excitement passes, the beauties realize that their behavior is not appropriate, so they stand behind Townsend with red faces one by one, although they all hang their heads, but they show another kind of beauty.
Townsend wanted to continue to dig into their hidden charms, but the crowd who came to congratulate him was lined up.
First of all, the apprentices on duty, the first to get the moon near the water, so the congratulations are in place. They are all senior apprentices who represent the various institutions and departments within the club. In keeping with West Coast tradition, they give freshly baked junior parachic masters all sorts of thoughtful things, from official name tags to embroidered money bags, almost everything Townsend needs on a daily basis.
Of course, he doesn't disagree with people at various times, he is not hypocritical, he accepts everything, and someone takes it for him anyway. But while collecting things, he also had to be polite to people, so it took Huā more than half an hour to go downstairs.
It took another half an hour to walk to the official residence of the Jacques branch president.
