Chapter 1690: Bruce Wayne and the Philosopher's Stone (5)
"First of all, I would like to introduce and set an example to you that all students in this college must wear the uniform at all times, whether you are in class or in the common room, you are not allowed to wear anything other than the school uniform, unless the dance and other celebrations require the wearing of a formal uniform, and you can only change the uniform after you have been notified."
"Your seniors are your role models, so far, our academy has not found a single case of illegal dress without wearing a school uniform, while the other three colleges have found it."
Schiller, dressed in a mage's robe, looked around at all the students and said, "I don't think anyone is happy to be ridiculed as a poor ghost, and if you wear silk and satin, you will be mocking other people's family all the time." ”
"Maybe you don't care, but I want you to remember that magical talent is a gift from God, and you don't have a superior family to surpass others academically."
"And your real family background is useless in the wizarding world, after graduation in the future, everyone will have their own abilities, if you show off too much and make enemies everywhere, I'm afraid the road will be much more difficult in the future."
Schiller did not overemphasize rules and authority, but explained the reason very clearly, and most of the children could understand it, so they all obediently took the school uniform and walked to the next lounge to change into.
Although the colors of the four colleges are different, the uniforms are all black, but there are slight differences in cutting.
The Zatara Academy, also known as the Academy of Magical Crafts, will make the sleeves slightly shorter, leaving some room at the cuffs to tighten them to prevent the sleeves from getting in the way when mixing potions or disassembling the machine.
Strange Academy has changed the coat and cloak to a much shorter one, because if someone grabs the cloak and pulls it down during the magic fight, it is easy to hurt the back of the fragile head, and even the competition between students is a bit dangerous.
Wayne College changed the collar of the inner lining of the school uniform to a suit-style stand-up collar, which can make people look more energetic, and at the same time, the tie can be better displayed, and they pay more attention to image than other colleges.
The uniform of Rodriguez House is a very traditional school uniform, with a black shirt or sweater lining, black trousers, soft leather shoes, long sleeves and a coat with a long back hem, which is not much different from the Hogwarts uniform.
And the deans of several colleges must also wear formal clothes, the formal wear of the wizarding world is actually the traditional mage robe, and because the mainstream magic of modern times originated in Europe, to be precise, it originated in the United Kingdom, so the mage robe looks not much different from the school uniform, mainly because the back hem of the coat will be longer or even mopping the floor, the sleeves are also wider, the placket and hem of the coat have gorgeous dark lines, and the faculty and staff can wear colorful ties of different colors and patterns.
Schiller wore a paisley navy tie, no different from when he wore a suit, except that the softer material of the robe weakened his colder temperament and showed a classical elegance.
Schiller went on to talk about the precautions in the academy, but most of them are no different from schools in ordinary society, such as not smoking, drinking, fighting, being late for class, skipping classes at will, and asking for leave must have a valid reason.
"Also, I need to emphasize that the second room at the end of the fourth floor of the main castle is now inaccessible." Schiller held out a hand to emphasize and said: "I hope that you will abide by the school rules and do not go to forbidden places where you are not allowed to enter, this is the most basic respect." ”
"I hope you will inform some of your more forgetful friends about this rule, and it will not do you any good to break the school rules, but you need to be in awe in this matter alone."
"Okay, now we need to elect the prefects of the freshman year, we don't practice voting democracy here, and most people don't know who to vote for without knowing each other."
"So I'm going to give you ten minutes to nominate a prefect internally, and I won't interfere with the results of your nomination, and the person you choose will ultimately be the prefect of your grade...... Let's go. ”
After saying that, Schiller turned around and walked over and began to sort out the books on the shelves, and the senior students also walked away, leaving time for the freshmen, the few freshmen you look at me and I look at you, no one dared to be the first to speak.
"Hey, I mean, we can't just stare like that for ten minutes, can we?" A black boy rolled his eyes and said in a fast-paced tone, "I have an idea, and I don't know if you agree with it." ”
"Do you want to be a prefect?" A girl asked.
"No, it's not me, I can't deal with that Wayne guy, I mean him, yes, it's him."
The black boy pulled Barry Allen to the center of the couch, and in an instant, everyone's eyes were on him.
"That annoying blue eye, just because he accidentally bumped into him, he scolded so harshly, but his arrogance can be regarded as a trouble for himself, he missed the prefect election, and if we want him to jump in anger, we have to push the person he despises the most to be a prefect."
Barry's eyes widened and he immediately retorted, "No, that's too hasty!" How can you decide the prefect candidate at will for the sake of vindictiveness?! ”
But the girl who spoke before blinked lightly and said, "I think it's a good idea, think about it, if that arrogant guy becomes a prefect, he will definitely bully all of us, and now that he has no chance, we have to seize this opportunity to kill his arrogance." ”
"If he continues to be so arrogant, even if he is not a prefect, we will not have a good life, what do you say?"
The other children nodded, and another child said, "What he wants most, we have to go against him, then he said not to let this...... Uh, what's your name? Barry, he doesn't want Barry to come to our academy, then we want him to be in this academy, and he wants to be the superior, so that if he bullies us in the future, we can use this to laugh at him. ”
"Hey, wait." Barry said anxiously, "That's not good, I really don't have the ability to be a prefect." ”
"You'll have to think about yourself, Barry." The black boy tugged at Barry's sleeve and said, "If the prefect is someone else, and he can't stop that Wayne, then you will be bullied by him, he may let you do all the cleaning, and maybe he will laugh at you every day for being a poor ghost." ”
Barry opened his mouth for a moment, and was about to say that it was nothing, but the others had already decided, and the black boy immediately stretched out a hand and said, "We have decided that this Mr. Barry Allen will be the prefect of our grade, and we believe he will do a good job." ”
Schiller, who was standing next to the railing on the second floor and looking down, nodded and didn't say anything, but Barry stood up and wanted to express his opinion, but at this time Kane rushed up very enthusiastically, gave Barry a hug and said.
"I know you can do it, you are different from those who are unruly and impolite, and you are quite insistent on your inner choice, there is a kind of stubbornness that is not afraid of power, with you, the discipline of your grade will definitely reassure the professor."
Barry's words were swallowed again, and he glanced up at Schiller, and saw that the stern professor's gaze was gentle, and even there was a hint of encouragement in his eyes.
At this moment, Barry understood that Bruce's domineering attitude made almost everyone present very unhappy, but the vast majority of people couldn't compete with a child, so they fought back in this way.
But Barry couldn't refuse at this time, because he knew that someone had to stand up and take on this responsibility, and the important thing was not the prefect's duty, but he had to be able to suppress this rebellious and arrogant Wayne kid, if he was allowed to run rampant in the school, it would definitely hurt a lot of people.
Barry has been a child with a sense of justice since he was a child, and the characteristics of truth, kindness and beauty are vividly reflected in him, so he decides to take this responsibility and not give Bruce any chance to bully others.
"Kids, it's ten minutes until dinner time, if there are no other problems, go to the auditorium for dinner with the senior students, they will focus on introducing you to the rules of life, we'll see you at dinner."
Schiller nodded slightly at them and went up the stairs, Barry looked at his vanishing back, looked down at his school uniform again, and sighed softly.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling sick? Kane looked at Barry, who was at the end of the line, with some concern.
Barry shook his head and said, "Just a little worried about our future. ”
"Are you worried about that Wayne?"
"Somewhat, but not all, I'm more worried about myself, I'm not sure I'm capable of arranging everything, I'm usually the one who follows the arrangement."
"If that's the case, when Wayne Jr. insults you, you won't try to contradict him and try to reason with him." Kane smiled and said, "I can see that you have an uncompromising stubbornness in your bones, keep this momentum, he can't do anything about you." ”
"I hope so."
When they reached the Great Hall, it was raining again, and the rain was pouring down on the stone pavement in front of the Great Hall, and the smooth stone slabs reflected everyone's faces.
The students walked into the auditorium in an orderly manner, and Barry was stunned the moment he walked into the auditorium—countless floating tables and chairs dangled in midair, magical flames with a strange luster surrounded him, fragrant food flew in from mid-air, and the sound of utensils falling on the table and colliding with each other was like a prelude to a legendary grand music.
Standing at the door of the auditorium, the interior and the exterior were like two completely different worlds, and the damp smell of the cold rain outside still lingered on the tip of Barry's nose, but the smell of warm food full of oil was already leading his soul inside.
His back still seemed to be on a cliff to be whipped by the cold wind and cold rain, but his arm had been drawn into the door of a new magnificent world, and Barry followed his instinct into the auditorium.
Strange fantasies swirled in Barry's mind, sometimes flying into the clouds, sometimes sinking to the bottom of the sea, sometimes wandering among the misty mountains and forests, sometimes climbing on the cliffs.
When he heard the crisp bell of the dream scene knocking on the door of his heart, he secretly made up his mind that he wanted to enter this magical world and enjoy every minute here.
Thinking like this, Barry's eyes fell on an annoying figure sitting at the table early, and he thought that no one could ruin his good life in the Academy of Magic, not Wayne.
As Kane commented, although Barry is gentle and calm on the surface, he actually has a stubbornness in his bones that he will not hit the south wall and never look back, and no one can stop him from doing what he has to do.
