Chapter 1: The Boy of Gloucester

Next Chapter

"Mr. and Madam Frisson, please come here, little Ike usually reads under the oak tree in the backyard at this time."

Lady Julianne smiled and looked kinder.

"This kid loves to read, and many times no one calls him, and he even forgets to eat."

Mrs. Frisson frowned, and there was some doubt: "This child, is it a little too ...... I mean, too withdrawn? ”

"No, no, no, Ms. Frisson." Julianne hurriedly replied, "Little Ike just doesn't like to talk, in fact, he has a lot of friends, and the children in the yard like to play with him." ”

"Dean Julianne." Mr. Frisson's tone was flat. As a partner at Gloucester's premier law firm, he knew exactly what the welfare dean was trying to hide.

"Maybe we should talk to your little Ike first, after all, only face-to-face communication can get to know someone better, right?"

"Of course," Julianne said ...... a little cramped, "as you wish, Mr. and Madam Frisson." ”

When the group of three came to the backyard of the Santa Maria Welfare Institute, they saw a teenager sitting under a large oak tree, holding a book in his hand. The sunlight shone through the dense leaves of the oak tree, and fell on the boy, which was very peaceful and serene.

"Little Ike, little Ike." Julianne beckoned, and Ike Strade raised his head when he heard the voice, calmly closed the book and stood up, walked up to Julianne in a few steps, and saluted slightly.

"Good afternoon, Dean Julianne. And this gentleman and lady, good afternoon. ”

"Hello, little Ike." Mrs. Friessen replied with a smile. Obviously, little Ike made a good first impression on her.

The clothes on his body were a little big, but they were clean, and the white shirt was well tucked into his pants. The cuff of his right hand was pulled up, revealing a white arm. The hem of the trousers is also rolled up, just enough to cover the ankles, and cover the small light brown leather shoes. The light blue eyes are clear and charming, and the black hair is a little messy, but not annoying.

"What a handsome guy." Mrs. Friessen laughed, "Isn't it, dear?" ”

Mr. Friessen nodded, stretched out his right hand, and said, "When we first meet, you can call me Mr. Frisson, this is my wife, and you can call her Mrs. Frisson." ”

"Hello, Mr. Frisson, Mrs. Frisson."

Ike reached out and shook Mr. Frisson's hand, then smiled at Mrs. Frisson.

"My name is Ike, Ike Strider."

"Hello, Mr. Stredder." Mr. Frisson nodded, but Mrs. Friesson smiled and replied, "But I think you may have to change your name, how about Ike Frisson?" ”

"Oh, so ...... Have you decided? Julianne was happy.

"yes, I don't think anyone would love this kid with an angelic smile?" Mrs. Friessen replied with a smile.

"Ike, I think you should understand what's going on, yes, you're going to have a new family."

"I'm sorry." Ike still had a smile on his face, "Mr. Frisson, Mrs. Frisson, I actually think that St. Mary's life is very good, and I don't have any intention of changing to a new environment. ”

"Lady Julianne." Mr. Frisson's tone flattened again, and the end dragged on for a long time, "I think you need to give us an explanation. ”

"This ......," Julianne looked a little confused, "sir, believe me, this kid is just reluctant to leave here, he will ......"

"Dean." Ike interrupted Julianne, who wanted to explain, "I don't have the idea of leaving, didn't I say it a long time ago?" ”

"In that case, excuse me, Dean Julianne." Mr. Friessen raised his hand to stop Julianne, took Mrs. Friessen, nodded at Ike, and turned to leave.

"Wait, wait, Mr. Frisson......" Julianne hurriedly chased after her, but Friesson was very firm, so she had to send the two away, and patted Ike on the head with a look of helplessness.

"Little Ike, tell me how many adopters you have rejected these are?"

"For as long as I can remember, this is the seventh couple." Ike lowered his head to avoid Julian's hand, his face still indifferent, "You know, I'm a little ...... after all"

"Is it special? Child. Julian said, "But aren't you already in control?" ”

"Of course." Ike nodded, "But there's always a contingency, isn't it?" Who knows if anything like that five years ago will happen again, you know, I don't want to hurt anyone. ”

Julianne took Ike in her arms and slowly touched Ike's little head with her right hand: "Little Ike, you...... Hey, forget it, it's up to you, I won't find you an adoptive family anymore. ”

"Thank you, Dean Julianne." Ike looked up and smiled brightly.

Julianne also smiled, pinched Ike's face as if retaliating, patted her head again, and left helplessly.

"Don't forget about dinner time."

"I won't forget."

Ike watched Julianne leave, sighed slightly, and sat back under the oak tree, looking up slightly at the sunlight scattered among the leaves. As soon as my brain moved, a few lines of words suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

Name: Ike Strider

Age: 11 years and 283 days

Title: Magical Favorer (Magic only blooms among a few, and you are one of them)

Oak Guardian (The oak tree will always watch over you, and the same will be true for other trees)

Occlumenist (the fog protects your brain and hides your best-kept secrets)

Julianne's favorite (yes, it's you, it's you, it's you)

Talents: Mana affinity

Skill: Occlumency (Custom) (Your best-kept secret won't be known, if you don't say it, it's up to you) (non-upgradeable)

Knowledge mastery (you'll learn new knowledge faster than others, but that's about it) (not upgradeable)

It's a few simple lines, but it's the biggest secret of Ike's life.

Ike recalls that when he was five years old, he brought about the worst crisis in the history of the Santa Maria Orphanage.

That night, Ike had a nightmare that kept flashing scenes of happiness, sadness, excitement, and loss. With the last scene, an unknown creature suddenly sprang out of the roadside, subconsciously stepped on the brakes, and the steering wheel shook violently......

Then, Ike woke up.

Dean Julia, who was looking at him in horror, and a room full of things flying.

Cabinets, shoes, six beds, and five sleeping children in the beds.

Ike was also blindfolded, subconsciously wanting to restore everything to its original state.

Thankfully, he did.

Even Ike didn't know how he did it.

In the years that followed, as he continued experimenting, Ike was finally able to control this telekinesis very well, but he couldn't do it enough to make everything in the house fly.

Yes, there were more than those in Ike's house that flew up that night.

Otherwise, Julianne would not have been frightened for half a month, and she would not have walked to stop floating.

Dean Julia was a very nice person, and as the only witness that night, she didn't feel any feelings of fear or fear towards Ike, but was full of worry. often talks to Ike quietly and gives him a lot of inexplicable books.

For example, "Witches: The Roots of Medieval Turmoil", "Witches and the Black Death", "One Hundred Ways to Defeat Vampires", "Demons Are All Around You", "The Bible", "Learning Magic from Scratch", ......

And so on and so forth.

God, I don't know where Julianne got this mess.

Of course, the end result is good. By the age of 10, Ike was already able to control this power.

After controlling the three pebbles in front of Julianne to fly and shuttle quickly, Julianne found five adoptive families for Ike in just one year.

Of course, according to Julianne's words, it is her limited ability that does not give Ike a good education, and Ike deserves a better environment and a better education.

This can be seen in the identity of these five families.

Lawyers, doctors, teachers, managers, researchers, are all highly educated elites.

It's just that Ike doesn't want to leave the Santa Maria Welfare Home, and he is convinced that no one will be more tolerant and understanding of him than Julianne.

After all, he was "Julianne's favorite".
