Chapter Ninety-Three: Opening Ceremony
Espena had never seen a place so strange and glorious. The other upperclassmen were seated at seven long tables, one of which was empty. There was a galaxy above their heads, and the bright moonlight illuminated the entire Great Hall incomparably brightly. The table was filled with glittering gold plates and goblets. There was another long table on the stage directly in front of the assembly, where the teachers were sitting.
Professor Cardena led the freshmen up to the podium and told them to stand in a row facing their seniors and their backs to their teachers. The thousands of faces that stared at them were like shining stars.
Faisali looked down at her toes a little shyly, avoiding the audience's gaze.
Espurna looked up and happened to see a velvety black ceiling dotted with stars. She heard Yi Tianshu whisper in her ear, "Someone has cast a spell on it to make it look more like the starry sky outside." This is what I learned in the History of the Founding of the Epst Damon School of Magic. ”
It's hard to imagine that the Assembly Hall is not open-air, and there is a ceiling on top of it.
As Professor Cardena quietly placed a three-legged stool in front of the freshmen, Estuna hurriedly looked straight ahead again.
Professor Cardena then placed a mirror on top of it, which was made of sterling silver, but the mirror was strangely pitch black.
Espurna wondered how the hell this mirror gave people classes, could it be to show scores?
At this time, there was silence in the auditorium, and everyone was staring at the magic mirror. Suddenly, a human face slowly appeared in the mirror, not so much a face, but only the position of the facial features, and it was impossible to see what it looked like.
Then the face in the magic mirror suddenly sang: "Young wizards, descendants of young godkillers, you will follow in the footsteps of your ancestors and work for this world." Come to me and look at me, stare at me, I know best what you are capable of. Whether you're a sparrow or an eagle, there's a piece of your sky here.
There are no good or bad students here, only hard work students. There are no half-bloods and pure-bloods here, only children who love magic. We treat you as a brother and sister, we treat you as family, and this will be your home. ”
When the magic mirror finished his wonderful singing, the whole auditorium responded with warm applause.
Faisali touched her chest and took a long sigh of relief, "It seems that we only need to stand in front of the magic mirror for a while, and we don't need to take an exam." Kimiro laughs and says, "It's a lot easier than exams." Ha ha. ”
Professor Cardena stepped forward, holding a long roll of parchment.
"When I read your name, I ask you to go to the magic mirror and wait, and when the magic mirror is confirmed, you can go to the empty table and take a seat, which is specially prepared for you." Professor Cardena shouted, "Xena Arritt! ”
A pink-faced, blonde girl walked out of the group. I saw her then come to the magic mirror, quietly looked at the magic mirror, and after a while, the magic mirror said: "May you pursue your heart, the next one." ”
In this way, there are more and more people in front of the empty table, and everyone who faces the magic mirror, the magic mirror will say a strange thing to this person like a comment.
At this time, Professor Kadena shouted, "Faisali Abdul Aziz al-Mahmoud." Faisali timidly stepped forward and almost fell, then mustered up the courage to look at the magic mirror quietly.
The Magic Mirror looked at Faisari quietly and said, "You are stronger than you think. Next. Faisali froze in place, as if thinking about something. At this point, Professor Cardena leaned forward and whispered, "Ms. McHamd, please take a seat." Faisali listened, then came back to her senses, nodded, walked off the stage, and sat down.
Professor Kadena then shouted, "Kimiro Vecchier." Kimiro walked up to the mirror with his head held high. The magic mirror was silent for a while and said, "Learn to dive to fly higher, next." Kimiro didn't seem to understand, just shrugged his shoulders and stepped off the stage to sit next to Faisari.
Professor Cardena then shouted, "Espurna Alperias Demplinción." Espena stepped forward and came to the Magic Mirror, took a deep breath and looked at the Magic Mirror quietly, the Magic Mirror was silent for a long time and said, "Well, interesting, what is right and what is wrong, you have to ask your own heart." Next. Espurna silently stepped down and sat down next to Faisali, her mind full of the words of the Magic Mirror, as if she had read something but had not understood anything.
At this time, the female student at the other table patted Espurna and said, "Don't pay too much attention to the magic mirror, sometimes he doesn't like to talk and sometimes talks too much." Espurna came back to her senses and nodded, "Thanks, I see." ”
Professor Cardena then shouted, "Yi, Yitianshu." Yi Tianshu came to the magic mirror and stared at the magic mirror tightly, and the magic mirror said: "There is a give-and-take, and letting go is the best choice." Next. Yi Tianshu was stunned when he heard this, only to see his hand tightly grasping the corner of his clothes.
Professor Cardena whispered, "Mr. Yi, please take a seat. Yi Tianshu came back to his senses and sat silently next to Espuna.
Ai Aspna whispered to Yi Tianshu: "Isn't it strange to be scored by a mirror." Yi Tianshu looked at Espuna and smiled and said, "Indeed, it's strange. ”
Espurna turned to look at the long table on the high platform. In the center of the table was a large chair made of gold, and a white-bearded magician wearing a white floral robe, wearing a gray star-patterned magic hat that looked out of the ordinary.
Yi Tianshu whispered, "He is the headmaster, Hualarov Epsdamon. Espurna asked, "His surname is Epsdamon?" Yi Tianshu nodded and said, "Indeed, he inherited the school. And I heard that he is already five hundred years old. Epuna looked at Principal Epsdamon in disbelief and thought, "Oh my God, he's the same age as my grandfather."
Principal Epsdamon seemed to sense Epna's gaze, so he looked at Aspna and nodded slightly. Espena nodded politely in return.
At this time, Aspuna looked down at the empty gold plate in front of her, and she felt that she was very hungry.
Principal Eps Damon stood up and looked at the students in the audience, with his arms outstretched, as if to say that there was nothing more joyful than seeing all of his students together.
"Welcome!" Principal Eps Damon exclaimed, "Welcome to the Eps Damon Academy of Magic!" Welcome to the new school year! Before I start the dinner, I would like to say a few words. All I want to say is: May magic guide us! Then he raised his glass and said, "The dinner party begins!" ”
At this time, everyone in the audience applauded and cheered.
Espurna looked in amazement at the empty plates and plates in front of her, which were piled high with food. Lots and lots of things you've seen and didn't see were on the table: beef, roast chicken, pork, lamb, sausages, bacon and steaks, as well as boiled tomatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, fries, Yorkshire pudding, pears, carrots, dumplings, buns, and even dumplings.
Espurna has a plate full of every little bit of food, and Espurna likes this very much: she is not a picky eater.
Aspuna swallowed.
It's really delicious.
"It looks so delicious." The ghost on the other side looked at Estuna cutting the steak and said sadly.
"Would you like to come and eat too—" Kimiro said with a smile.
"I haven't eaten in four hundred years," said the ghost, "of course, I don't need to eat, but I still miss the delicious food." I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? Knight Nicholas Lacre, willing to serve you. ”
"I've heard of you!" Yi Tianshu suddenly said, "My father told me about you—you are the fearless knight Racre. ”
Knight Lacre nodded intoxicatedly, as if he liked the title. The knight of Lacre said, "Would you like to hear my story, children?" Why am I called Fearless Knight? ”
The freshmen pricked up their ears in curiosity when they heard this.
