Chapter 497: It's Long Overdue to Use Privileges! (1/4)
Imperial Capital, Royal Alchemy Society.
A car arrives at the door of the association, and Ian and Isengard step out of it.
Ian's own words, of course, want to show his full strength - unlike the sublimation technique, the genius in alchemy is originally the younger the better, and the genius is simply unbelievable, there have been instances of becoming a master at the age of twelve.
In the final analysis, this subject is simply the same as mathematics, if you can do it, if you can't, if you can't, you can't, there is no reason to explain and compromise at all.
However, this time, he seemed to have encountered a little problem beyond the alchemy assessment.
"Isengard? And Ian. ”
A long-haired figure with red blonde that Ian only knew to Ian, but was an old acquaintance to Isengard, had just walked out of the door of the Royal Alchemy Society.
Waldo looked up and saw two acquaintances, and he was not surprised by the arrival of the two young men, but showed a rather false smile: "Is this here to participate in the test?" ”
"Of course." Isengard frowned slightly: "Waldo, you won't talk nonsense when you drink, I still miss you at that time." ”
"That's a pity."
Another voice came from behind Waldo, a young man who was still a little young, with curly black hair and golden-green eyes.
He stood behind Waldo and smiled with the kind of bad thing that was characteristic of a young man in the academy: "Today's quota is full, you and this beautiful country knight are probably running for nothing, and it's still afternoon, not time for rest—as a consolation, how about I invite you to a drink at the Emerald Crown?" ”
"Oh my God. Carancille, you're actually inviting me to tea? ”
Turning his head and looking at the other party, the blonde boy showed a very polite smile: "Maybe this is another way of saying that you want to ask the chief for a lecture?" You've learned to be good, junior brother, of course I'm willing. ”
He emphasized the word junior, which made the black-haired nobleman, who was obviously older than Yi Sen, look slightly annoyed.
Ian tilted his head slightly, and he suddenly realized that Esengard's super-evolved attitude was probably not only his attitude to life, but also this pair of teeth - he didn't have time to say anything, his friend had already helped him push all the soft and hard nails back.
"Look, Ian."
And at this moment, Isengard turned his head, and he introduced Ian with polite aristocratic etiquette: "You should know this one. Waldo Noka, if he hadn't been expelled from the Alchemy Academy, or had his academic credentials withdrawn, would still be my classmate, and he would be running his family's business. ”
"And this one is even more powerful, Carrancil Grudin. My junior. ”
"Alchemy is only a little worse than me, and he is a very talented alchemist."
"Oh, I forgot to introduce it, their family also has a seat on the board of directors of the Platinum-Iridium Workshop, and I have been hired by the Platinum-Iridium Workshop to be in charge of the Fifth Alchemy Laboratory."
"So in the future, Ian, you might still be a colleague with him."
There is no doubt that Isengard has clearly learned this way of speaking recently...... Or maybe it would have been, but the naïve young man in the past didn't want to use it, and now he's starting to grow fangs.
It is no wonder that Mrs. Ellen is so relieved of her son, and it seems that she has also noticed the growth of Isengard after returning from Southridge.
Not only skills, but also interpersonal aspects.
- At least he's a lot more aggressive.
"I see."
With his mind racing in his heart, Ian showed a clear expression at the moment, and he smiled and stretched out his hand to the two: "It's a pleasure to meet the two." ”
"What a coincidence, Mr. Waldo, the second time we met, but this is the official first time."
“…… It's a coincidence indeed. ”
Because he was sarcastically stabbed by Isengard, his face was not very good-looking, but Waldo was indeed a social person, and he still shook hands with Ian with a normal smile: "Although it may be late today, I believe that tomorrow Ian you will definitely get a high score, and maybe you will get a ranking?" ”
This is actually a fact, this time the qualification assessment of the materials provided by the Alchemy Academy attracted a large number of alchemists from the surrounding area to come to the imperial capital for testing, just around this street, six out of ten people are people related to alchemy.
In this way, it is very normal to have a daily quota and test in batches, and Waldo is just a casual irritation of Isengard, a classmate he has always been a little conflicted with.
And Carransil is a bit young-minded, he is a year older than Isengard, he is also an alchemy genius, and he is a disciple of another alchemy master, but because he entered later than Isengard, he has always been able to condescend to the 'junior', and since then he has been fighting with Isengard, competing with each other.
In the most recent school year assessment, he lost to Isengard by a very small margin, and the first position went to the teenager younger than himself, and now Carransiel's face was a little unbearable.
As for the family's board seats, there is not so much of a contradiction, and the normal management issues are divided.
After all, children's competition, the future may also be a good memory, and if it really makes trouble, it won't look good.
"Don't be too arrogant, there are a lot of alchemists in the imperial capital, even I can't claim to win the ranking."
The black-haired alchemist was originally reluctant to shake Ian's hand because of Esengard's words.
But somehow, whether it was because of Ian's face and kind smile, or whether he felt that he couldn't be too stingy in front of his competitors, Carrancil still reached out and shook it a little reluctantly.
But even so, he was still saying cruel words: "I heard the teacher talk about you. A genius recognized by the Master Gosai...... Hmph, Master Gosai can't go wrong, but Nanling is a wasteland of alchemy after all, and if you just know basic techniques and theorems, it's best not to have too high expectations! ”
"Moreover, this question is quite a test of experience, after all, you are self-taught in the countryside, and you usually don't have any opportunities for alchemy, right? If you think it's too hard, don't be beaten! ”
Of course, this kind of cruel words are like a breeze for Ian, and he even thinks that the other party is a little childlike, which makes him nostalgic for the days when he quarreled with his classmates when he was a child.
So the white-haired boy only smiled politely: "Grades are trivial, Mr. Carransier, I look forward to working with you in the future." ”
As for the fact that the number of people to be assessed is full......
"Let's go, Ian."
Isengard had already arrived at the gate, and he said nonchalantly, "I'm sure the examiners wouldn't mind adding an extra excellent alchemist to the exam today. ”
Obviously, he was going to use a little of the privileges of being a nobleman and a disciple of an alchemist.
"This ......" Waldo obviously didn't think of this - Isengard had never done this before, so he was a little unresponsive: "Not very good?" ”
"Ethan, how can you do that?" Carranciel's brow furrowed, and he indignantly accused: "You are abusing your privileges! ”
"Why don't I?"
Isengard looked at the two of them with a foolish expression—Ian rarely saw Isengard look like that—and he shook his head slightly, "Or else?" And it's not the turn of the two of them. ”
He waved his hand, and Ian smiled and followed, "See you back, guys." Maybe you two wouldn't mind waiting for us a while to see how I did? ”
"Maybe it's a lot better than you both expected?"
Waldo and Carrancil looked at each other, the former unimpressed, the latter completely unconvinced - but Ian had already issued a 'challenge'...... If that's a challenge.
They certainly want to see the end.
