Chapter 22: The Long Past
"Wei Xi's family background?"
Pudomi was confused, it seemed that not only did he not know, but he had not thought about it at all. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Family History...... In my memory, it seems that Wei Xi has never mentioned things in his family......"
Of course, that's just the literal meaning.
"Ini, it seems that you and Rashdo have spent the longest time with Wei Xi, do you know Wei Xi's family background?"
It wasn't Zhisi who said this, but Stina.
She looked like she was curious, and seemed to care just because she wanted to know the answer.
"Wei Xi's Family ......"
Ini, who was stared at by everyone, lowered her head in embarrassment, on the one hand, she didn't know Wei Xi's family background at all, and on the other hand, she was hesitating whether to say it or not......
"What happened to Wei Xi's family background?"
Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from, and when they saw the cute expression of confusion on Laceto's face, and Wei Xi, who was standing next to him and was also puzzled, they couldn't help but smile. For a while, the tense atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
Lace took Vicki's hand and came to Ini's side, she gently patted Ini's right shoulder, and Laceto pulled out the wooden chair unhurriedly and pulled Vicki to sit down next to Ini.
"What were you talking about, Stina, I think I heard you talk about Vicki's family history or something...... "After sitting down, Hasto looked very calm.
"The ......"
Facing Laceto, Stina's face turned crimson, and she was suddenly a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, Stina! We're all friends, just say anything!" Lesto motioned to Stina not to worry about herself and Vichy, and told her to say whatever she wanted, but this made Stina unable to speak!
"This ...... That ......"
She just kept on and on.
"Vicie, what is your house doing?" Rashel asked what she wanted to ask instead of Stina.
"My family, my family's ......"
In the memories of the amnesiac Vixi, there is no way to have a home. After losing his memory, Wei Xi seemed to hear this word for the first time, and this word always made him feel an inexplicable aggrieved and uncomfortable.
"Waste, you don't even have magical qualifications, what's the use of you coming?" In the small wooden house, Wei Xi was kicked out of the house by a stout man.
He staggered to his feet from the ground, stroking the wound from his fall, clutching his aching lower abdomen. Vicky looked resentfully at the cabin, and he swore —
――Definitely not coming back.
"I don't have a home, and I won't have a home!"
Wei Xi's voice was cold, and the demonic power felt the violent fluctuations in his heart. Under the excitement, the huge fluctuating emotions became the reason for the demonic power to activate itself.
Little Wei Xi began his journey alone......
With no magical qualifications, no ability, no money, and no knowledge of the dangers of Nakakugoku, he nevertheless embarks on a journey full of unknowns.
If you don't have anything to eat, you eat weeds when you're hungry...... If you don't drink it, you drink the water of the river when you're thirsty...... What you don't wear, what you wear is the only ...... No place to live...... Day and night, rain or shine......
I don't know how long I traveled, and I don't know how far I went!
Wei Xi, who was walking on the road, gradually felt that his steps were getting heavier and heavier, and he had to use all his strength with every step.
Finally...... He's sick!
It was a rainy day, and it began to drizzle early in the morning, and by noon, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and at this time, Wei Xi, who had already exceeded his limit, both physically and mentally, was knocked to the ground by a bullet of rain.
Falling to the ground, lying in the water and mud, looking up at the dark sky, Wei Xi didn't think about anything, but smiled. Feeling the exhaustion and coldness of her body, Wei Xi slowly closed her eyes.
"Are you finally out of there? But that doesn't matter anymore......"
"I just really hope ......"
"Don't do it again!"
At the last moment, Wei Xi, who did not understand the feelings very well, felt relief; at that moment, he let go of his resentment, and no longer hated the person who made him start a trip without hesitation; he was satisfied, he was tired, and he wanted to sleep......
......
I don't know when or who said the same thing: "......"
I don't know when someone hugged him tightly: "......"
In the rain, one is in the morning, and the other is in the evening, and Vichy takes warmth from them and is redeemed by them......
With a new "home"!
Wei Xi looked at Ini, and the outline of a young girl couldn't help but come to mind.
New loved ones!
Looking at Pudomi, the silhouette of the girl in his mind became tall and muscular.
New friends!
“......”
In a small room, several people who had never known each other before gathered in the same house because they met, eating rice cooked in a pot, eating the same dish, and drinking the same soup...... Although I was a little reserved because of the strangeness, I still laughed and talked!
Although it was not related, and there was no vow to be together forever, although no one said it...... But they all know:
-- We are a family.
The voice became cold, and Wei Xi, who had a cold face and was afraid, suddenly smiled. He smiled so happily, he smiled so proudly, and in the blink of an eye, his body became so warm!
Although she couldn't remember their appearance or her name, Wei Xi was sure: "If you have home, I have had!
("Now...... It's not formed yet!")
Vicky smiled and glanced at Ini, Zhisi, Pudomi, then back to Lacedor, and finally at Lacele, "Why did you forget about you?
"Ever had?" Zhisi had a bad premonition, so she forced back the thought that had just surfaced in her heart and wanted to continue to ask.
"That's right!"
Fortunately, Pudomi, who didn't care about anything as soon as his curiosity came up, didn't spoil the idea of Zhisi. And the others were also faintly aware of what was hidden in Wei Xi's words. Seeing the smile on Vixi's face, everyone who was his friend was reluctant to touch Vixi's past, which might have been a landmine, and Stina became confused......
The atmosphere became warm but awkward and deserted!
"Wei Xi, let's compete today!"
A few students of the Holy Wind Academy who had finished breakfast passed by Wei Xi and them, and when they saw Wei Xi, several male students instantly surrounded him.
The purpose is neither a mockery nor a compliment, but an appointment!
"Well, you guys go over first! I'll be over in a moment when I'm done!"
"Then we'll go first! Pudomi too, remember to come on time! I'm going to get revenge today!"
"Yes, Leon, try it if you can do it!
"Hmph, see if I don't knock you down for a while! Okay, you eat slowly, let's go first!"
"Well, see you later!"
"See you in a moment!"
After a few words of conversation, the blonde boy quickly left the cafeteria with his companion.
"Then let's get moving!"
As if she had forgotten what had happened before, Stina smiled and picked up the white paper on the table: "Bread, milk, porridge......"
"Well, I'm almost hungry too!" said Tina as she picked up the white paper on the table.
"I want to eat some dumplings......"
"Then I'll have some sandwiches!"
......
"I said Vichy ......"
The blonde-haired and golden-eyed Leon was on the left side of the arena, and he was supposed to be standing there laughing happily, but now he looked depressed and bitter.
"What's the matter?"
Vixi, who pressed a sharp sword against Leon's face, didn't change anything, just asked reflexively.
"Why aren't you flustered or surprised when I've broken your magical insulator's abilities?" Normally, if someone sees through a confident stunt or ability, it should be a big blow, not to mention that this is still in combat......
"Because we're fighting!"
Fighting, for others, may be just a sport or a survival skill. But for Weixi, this is not the case at all!
Combat is not a game, and even if it's just a fight, it's very likely that a small mistake will kill your companion. For Wei Xi, who deeply understands and understands this, in a sense: fighting is a kind of torment!
The purpose of the fight is to defeat the other side and prove that you are better than you.
And for Vichy......
"Kill him!"
But it's a game that doesn't want to shed blood!
Wei Xi put away her sword and shook her head a little lonely.
And this scene, Leon, who was standing in front of Wei Xi and always paying attention to him, could of course see it, and asked out of curiosity and concern: "Suddenly, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing! I was just wondering if there were no celebrations or events at the Holy Wind Academy? Every day is like this, and I'm almost starting to get tired of it!"
Although the Holy Wind Academy is the magic academy with the deepest heritage and the strongest teaching quality in the Holy Wind Empire. However, because of its self-learning philosophy, the number of successful graduates who can be recognized by the college each class will never exceed ten.
More than half of the hundreds of people who are not elites, but who are full of resilience and ideas, will give up halfway through.
Because "I can't learn...... Because "there's no point in continuing to learn"...... Because "you can't learn anything at all"...... Most people, just leave!
And the mood before they were about to leave was more or less the same as the current Weixi!
"Is it an event or a celebration? Yes, but ......"
Leon pondered for a moment, then continued, "Forget it! According to the information I found in the library, every week or so of the first semester, the academy will have a trial-like activity. ”
"Trials?"
Coming down from the arena and hearing what Vixi and Leon were talking about, Pudomi, who was originally a little depressed because of the successful revenge, suddenly came to his senses.
"What kind of trial was that?"
And for this matter, Stina, who came to watch the game with everyone, is also very concerned about this matter.
"Isn't it the same as the 'Forest Trial'?"
Hasto, Ini, and Zhisi are also concerned about this, but their direction seems to be subtle from that of the others.
"No, this trial is held at Trial Room 1, and there is no limit to the number of participants, but when the trial begins, it will be randomly drawn to form a group of two people, and a single person will come out in a group. It's said to be a trial, but it's actually a small game similar to robbing a puppet!" (Note: Robbing a puppet is a folk custom of the Holy Wind Empire.) Dozens of men compete for a mini girl-like puppet, and there is no limit to the way of doing it. The winner can take the puppet home, and the puppet has a note with the name of a certain girl written on it, and if you go to her house with the note, you can take her straight home. In fact, it is a different kind of family selection activity. )
"You said to rob the puppet......s?
"Hey, where do you think you're going?"
Seeing Pudomi, who suddenly became nervous, Leon spread his hands, looking very helpless.
