Volume 1 The Beginning of the Edge Chapter 7 The Dean
Walking out of the portal, there was a long corridor, and Old Man Tiger led Chris into a room, and pushed the door in without knocking. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as the door opened, there was a huge stone pillar, centered on the stone pillar, and on the periphery was a large hollow round table.
This is completely different from the square table used by ordinary alchemists, and is more like the bar counter used in a pub in a certain bar.
Chris thought for a moment, the test bench used by ordinary alchemists is square, if there is no mistake, this dean often conducts experiments alone, such a round table can help him reach all corners of the table more quickly, so as to maximize efficiency.
And as far as the eye can see, in this room, there are five such hollow round tables.
Each table is filled with a variety of materials and tools. All kinds of large and small crucibles, test tubes, solvents, and materials taken from various magical plants, magical beasts, and magical insects are used for heating and cooking, this is a world of alchemy.
In the center of these round tables, there is a strangely shaped chair, and a person is sitting on the chair and looking down at what is on the table.
Teacher Tiger stepped forward and shouted, "Bruce, you old fellow, are you done!"
The person on the chair didn't raise his head: "Wait, it's good!"
Teacher Tiger turned to Chris and said, "Child, be patient, this old fellow is not so easy to talk when he is fascinated, so you can only wait for him to finish, you can sit on the side first." β
Chris replied respectfully, "Yes!" but he was really taken aback, this is the dean of the academy---- Bruce Diro?
He quietly fumbled for the letter in his pocket---- the time came to "go through the back door", fortunately, he was not standing in front of him because of his poor qualifications.
Old man Bruce skillfully and quickly poured the magic plant in his hand into the test tube, shook it evenly with force, and at the same time did not look at it, picked up a small vial on the table with his other hand, carefully poured out a little black powder in the test tube, stopped shaking, flashed in his hand, a small fireball appeared, and quickly circled around the test tube, the liquid in the test tube began to change color, and when steam began to appear, he turned to another table with the chair he was sitting on, facing away from the two of them, and he didn't know what to toss, and then turned to another tableγ
The old man Bruce's "good" really made the two of them wait for half a magic time, and then put down the tools in their hands and turned to the two.
Teacher Tiger pulled Chris to take a step, different from the previous verbosity: "This little guy, level 10 of mental power." β
Then, Dean Bruce's eyes lit up, and he stared at Chriss, grabbing him by the shoulder, and at the same time, a wave of power poured into Chris's body, swimming round and round in his body.
After that, Bruce's eyes brightened, grabbed Chris's hand, and looked kind: "Sure enough, it's a high-level spiritual power, little guy, what's your name?"
Chris respectfully made a noble salute: "Cris, Chris Lorraine, Your Excellency the Dean!"
He deliberately showed his nobility, and then handed the letter in his pocket to Bruce: "Greetings from Father Darnell. β
Dean Bruce's expression changed, the name obviously reminded him of something, took the letter, and still looked at Chris, "Are you a kid from the Darnell family?"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Bruce turned to Mr. Tiger, "Go ahead and get your hands dirty." β
Old man Tiger nodded, smiled at Chris, and walked out, closing the door with him.
Dean Bruce sat down in a nearby chair and read the letter carefully. Then he raised his head and looked at Chris, "Is your father okay?"
"You care, yes, that's good. β
Dean Bruce's expression was blank, as if he was looking into the distance: "It's been more than ten years, and everyone before is old." Chriss, not knowing how to answer this, sat quietly.
Dean Bruce turned his gaze to Chris, "Okay, little one, your name... Chris, yes, Chris, do you like magic?"
"That's what I've always longed for, Your Excellency. β
The dean nodded, pulled a drawstring on the side of the table, and after a while, someone pushed the door and the voice was crisp, obviously a woman: "Dean!"
Bruce nodded, "Please bring Professor Kerry!"
He explained to Chriss: "Professor Kerry is young, but he has the best theory of magic, and at the same time, with him, you can learn the most important thing - elemental control. Believe me, son, you will be the target of your heart, perhaps, you can surpass your father!"
"Couldn't be better, thanks for the arrangement!"
The door opened again, and as soon as the visitor entered, Chris quietly rolled his eyes, this person was not wearing a teacher's uniform like most professors in the academy, but a casual dress, if it was ordinary civilian clothes, he was wearing a samurai uniform, but no coat, just an inner lining, gray short, in this era of clear classes, this dress is really rude, even Dean Bruce frowned:
"Kerry, image!"
Kerry was unhurried and made a salute, which was decent, but it was a magician's etiquette, and his attire gave people a strong sense of incongruity: "Yes, Your Excellency, Dean!"
Bruce turned to Chris, "You just follow Professor Kerry!"
Chrissy bowed respectfully: "Yes, Your Excellency!"
Walk out the door and follow Professor Kerry.
Professor Kerry turned and looked at Chris, "Listen, boy, this is Lantis College!"
"Yes, Professor. β
"So there are no nobles, no commoners. β
"Yes, Professor. β
"There is no network that the nobles like, and the dean's entrustment. β
"Yes, Professor. β
"There are only geniuses and slackers here. β
"Yes, Professor. In fact, Chris knows this, after all, he is just an ordinary boy in an ordinary family on the earth, and to put it bluntly, he doesn't really think of himself as a nobleman.
Professor Kerry nodded with considerable satisfaction and turned around: "Keep up, boy, entering the Lantis Academy doesn't mean you can sit back and relax, in the academic year assessment, if you fail to become a level 4 magician, then ....." He turned his head to look at Chris with bad intentions, "... Get out of the academy yourself. β
Chris's face didn't change, and he didn't blink, "Yes, Professor." β
Professor Kerry snorted twice, "I know you are a tenth level of mental power, but I advise you, there are many geniuses in the Lateis Academy, it can be said that there are more than you can imagine, from now on, you better forget about the tenth level of your mental power, you are an ordinary student, understand?"
"Yes, Professor. β
"Do you really understand?"
"Yes, Professor. β
"Remember me?"
"Yes, Professor. β
"That's what you're going to say?"
"No, Professor. β
"Humph!"
