Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Salted Fish Turns Over
Alina is Frogissa's cousin, and whether it's credible or not, it's written on paper, so the rules are up to it. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info For example, give the half-elf a special chance to test, because there is a very small possibility: maybe she was not abandoned by the element, but the elemental affinity is too high, beyond the detection range of the crystal ball.
In fact, the old female teacher was not very willing to give her this extra chance, as can be seen from the serious expression on her face, and the original kind smile disappeared without a trace.
Because it's so unlikely that it's like throwing a pencil in your hand and the pencil is standing on the ground.
"Please follow me. The female teacher said, leading Alina out the door, all sorts of speculations about the "dirty deal" followed the half-elf until she reached the stairs.
They arrived at the dean's office on the fourth floor. The half-white-haired, middle-aged, and thin dean didn't look like the dean of the "Elemental Combat Technique" sub-academy. He had a constant smile on his face, and after listening to the meaning, they began to perform what Alina called "a ritual of reverence for the rules". The application was written, signed, and sealed, and the ceremony lasted for fifteen minutes before it ended.
In the end, with the same smile on his face, the dean took out a light yellow box from the cabinet next to him, opened it with a key, and carefully took out a crystal ball inside.
Well, the fifteen-minute ritual is all about taking out this precious crystal ball.
Alina had to admit that she couldn't see any difference between the crystal ball and the outside, except for the extra carvings on its base, elven-style, and all she could see was that.
"Please put your hands on it, Alina-san. The dean spoke, and Alina could smell the faint smell of smoke, which was the result of years of smoking.
She put her hand on it, an expression of hope on her face.
The female teacher's expression became more serious, and she secretly laughed at the unrealistic hope of the half-elf in her heart. The crystal ball used before was made by elves and specially used by humans. So unless Aliana's elemental affinity surpasses that of the best among humans, which means she surpasses most elves, she is just a salted fish who has been "abandoned by the elements".
The crystal ball suddenly lit up, the light was not dazzling at all, the crystal ball was orange-red, like the sun after the morning mist. Even the dean, who had experienced the cruel baptism of officialdom, the unchanged smile on his face was dyed with a surprise color because of the "little sun" under the fingers of the half-elf.
The light of the crystal ball ignited Alina's hope, and the blaze turned into joy. She's not stupid, and the dean's reaction and the change in the crystal ball tell her what's going on. However, she still needs a certainty.
"What is the result?"
The dean, who had been staring at the crystal ball, suddenly raised his head, and his voice even trembled a little: "Very good, very good." Alina-san, you are worthy of being the cousin of the esteemed teacher Flogisa, and your talent is very good, breaking the record in your country. There's no doubt that Elemental Skills are for you. ”
"It's wonderful. When will I be able to learn the Elemental Skill?"
"Tomorrow, but if you want, I'll have a few teachers to teach you later. ”
"Ahem. The female teacher's face was full of a kind smile, "Dear Dean, I am glad that the college can recruit students with different talents. However, the choice of study direction should be made independently after students know some necessary knowledge, which is also the philosophy of the college. ”
The dean looked at the teacher's card on her chest, and realized that the female teacher was from the "Elemental Spells" sub-academy. This discovery made him wary.
Competing for "good students" is a consistent tradition of these two "sub-colleges". However, this long war does not include the academy's "elemental affinity test", because the students who come to the test must be students who have not received "elemental training", even if the talent is good, it is useless to have no foundation.
But Alia's elemental talent is just too good to ignore the shortcomings of her ignorance of the elementals. The Dean estimated that even among the elves, her elemental talent was top-notch. If it weren't for his sworn enemy, if something didn't come today, the female teacher wouldn't have come to him and sent this big gift to the door.
"Your cousin is not only an excellent 'Elemental Combat Skill Teacher', but also a Dragon Slayer Warrior. The dean crossed his fingers, "I believe that choosing something is something that is unquestionable to you, right?"
The half-elf girl nodded.
Seeing that Alina was so easily induced by the scheming Dean, she hurriedly said, "You still don't know anything about elemental spells, dear Alina-san. It allows you to easily destroy distant enemies with a wave of your hand without worrying about dirt on the ground staining your clothes. And according to the rules, you need to know about it ...."
"I think she's got it enough. The dean's eyes shot a sharp gaze at the female teacher, "Her cousin is Miss Flogisa." ”
He emphasized the four words Flogisa.
"Yes, yes, my cousin said that the elemental skills are very suitable for me. ”
"But, according to the rules..."The female teacher still did not give up, if the boss knew that she had led a peerless genius to his nemesis' office, he would definitely want to tear her apart.
"According to the rules and regulations, you should go down to work. The dean stood up and stared into the female teacher's eyes, and he saw a hint of flinching in it, "The students are still waiting for you, and your colleagues need you to share the burden. ”
The female teacher gave up her efforts and left dissatisfied.
The Dean looked at Alina with a smile, "If you want, you'll be able to get the list and class schedule later." ”
"I'd love to. For some reason, she was very happy to see the female teacher deflated, "Can I go and get the book when I get the list?"
"Of course, it is recommended that you go early, there are more people in the afternoon. ”
And just like that, Alina happily and officially decided to become a student of the "Elemental Combat Technique".
The place to receive the book is a large classroom with a garden outside the door. At this time, it was the peak period for receiving books, there were already many people, and the college stipulated that the books must be received in person, so the aristocratic students brought servants to receive the books, which led to ten long queues in front of the ten book collection windows.
Clendier looked out the window at the obsidian flower beds, and complained to himself why the college didn't distribute books in the vast garden outside. He knew at a glance that he was a civilian, or the kind with poor conditions. Because he had no servants next to him, it meant that he was not a nobleman, and his family did not have much money, and generally speaking, the commoners who studied at the academy were wealthy families. His cheap clothes further stripped him from the petty burghers, and the short-sleeved washed and whitish-washed linen made him look out of place with his surroundings.
In fact, even after a year at the Academy, Krendil was still not comfortable with the luxuries of the Academy. The fourteen-year-old boy had been avoiding crowded places in order to protect his pitiful self-esteem.
Staying here is a bi-annual torture for Krendil. The glitter of precious stones on the fine fabrics pierced his thin skin, and the patterns on the gorgeous clothes made him look at his feet and stare at his shoes with a hole in them. What was most uncomfortable for him were the gazes, which he was shorter than the people around him due to nutritional problems, and Krendil could feel those gazes, piercing his pathetic heart like a sword.
The look of contempt, disgust, or even contempt is not the most terrible, because the academy is a civilized place, and bullying is very despised for such a thing as "virtue". The most terrible thing for Clendil was the pitying gazes of the noble ladies, the pity that came out of his beautiful eyes, which made him feel like he was being grilled on an iron frame.
"Krendil. ”
Finally, when it was his turn, he looked up, and the female teacher behind the window looked at him with pity. Oh my God, it was that kind of gaze again, and it made him feel like beef being thrown on a red-hot iron plate.
"You've got a lot of books, so take them in several batches. ”
"No need. Clendier replied in a whisper, looking at the tall stack of books, the consequences of his choice to skip a grade. They were hard for his emaciated body, but they were also bearable, and most importantly he didn't want to come here a second time.
The teacher pushed the tall book out, and Krendil took a deep breath and hugged it, very heavy. Elemental spells were not allowed in the academy, otherwise he could use some small tricks of his own creation to help him.
But fortunately, the pile of books shook a bit and stabilized. He turned slowly, the stack of books tilted at an angle, but everything was fine, as long as he walked slowly, sooner or later he would reach his bedroom.
As he turned around, a beautiful shadow broke into his field of vision, it was a beautiful silver, like the bright moon in the sky falling into the earth. Beauty slammed into his heart, his brain thudred, his anger was released, and the pile of books in his hand fell to the other side. By the time he reacted, it was too late.
His eyes widened as he watched the stacks of books fall to one side, and it was too late for the books to disperse.......
