Volume 3 The Shadow of Uxir Chapter 176 A Friend for a Day
A few hours ago, the Royal Academy of Magic Valhalla.
Not long after Liz left, the students finally walked into the classroom, they always arrived five minutes before the start of class, and today there were no more than ten as usual.
The teaching system here is a credit system, and whether a course can be passed in the end depends mainly on the usual grades and the assessment results at the end of the year, and the two items add up to 60 points to pass.
As for the usual grades, as long as they are shouted at the time of the roll call, and the absenteeism is found no more than three times, the tutors will basically give a perfect score of 20 points.
Unlike other strict tutors, Liz never takes a roll call in class, and she doesn't care how many people are present, so her usual scores are basically given away for free.
Although sometimes even Milian couldn't stand it and wanted to talk about it when everyone arrived, he was finally persuaded by Liz.
Now that the parties have spoken, Milian can't say anything, so he can only sigh secretly, what kind of tutor there is, what kind of student there is.
Now, after Liz left, Milian suddenly felt that the teaching work had become boring, and he was even more depressed when he looked at the guys in the classroom who only knew how to doze off, and he really hoped that the next transfer student could improve the lifeless atmosphere in the classroom.
While waiting for class, he happened to see a figure of concern, it was a girl who looked sixteen or seventeen years old, unlike the other students, the girl's dress was gorgeous but a little old, and he guessed that the status of the other family might not be high.
At this time, the girl sat alone in the corner of the classroom, with a notebook and quill in her hand, sitting upright, looking more serious than the others.
It's almost noon, and the workers at the nearby port are all having lunch, but the students here don't seem to be waking up.
Seeing the girl's serious appearance, Milian was also more motivated to teach, but the girl sat so far away that it was difficult to see the words on the blackboard, so he walked over.
"By the way, you're ......"
Due to the frequency of Liz's classes, Milian didn't have much opportunity to lecture, so he didn't even recognize the students' names.
At this time, the girl didn't know what the instructor was looking for her, so she quickly stood up and bowed.
"Good morning, Instructor Milian, I'm Adele Jarre...... Nia. ”
Milian was obviously hesitant when she noticed that she said her surname, but then he reacted, isn't the Yarnia family the royal family?
Just when he was surprised, a boy not far away suddenly said in a strange way.
"Hehe, I really think of myself as a princess, and I even reported my surname directly, I really love to show off, but isn't your father still a king?"
The people around them also snickered when they heard this, and their eyes were full of disdain when they looked at Adele.
Milian frowned, he probably understood why Adele was sitting in the corner, but he couldn't care so much, at this time, if he accused those people in person, they would definitely treat Adele even less in private.
"Alright, let's sit a little bit ahead."
"No, instructor, I have good eyesight and very sensitive hearing, just sit here." Adele said in a humble tone.
“…… Is it? Milian knew that he could not persuade her, and then said, "Well, I'll stand in front of you and give a lecture later." ”
"Cut."
The boy immediately understood what Milian meant, and left the classroom in a huff.
"Gee, the classroom is much brighter after someone's gone," Miriam glanced at the rest of the people, "how's that?" Why don't you go home and sleep, anyway, you all have perfect marks in your usual grades, so there's no need to stay here and waste time. ”
After saying this, the rest of the people were red-faced, and a few felt too embarrassed, so they left with a sense of humor, and only three chose to stay, and they all stood up and apologized to Milian.
"Well, it's good that you can understand your own problems, which means that you are really here to learn, which is good, so I will spare no effort to teach you until a new mentor comes."
Milian acknowledged their actions, then returned to the podium and continued to speak to the four remaining men.
"However, the next thing I'm going to teach you is not breaking magic, even if you learn a lot of that thing, it's useless if you don't have a good character."
Hearing this, the students immediately looked at him in unison.
"First of all, I want you to accept Adele, no matter what her identity is, once you get here, you're just classmates, understand?"
“……”
"Adele, what are you doing in a daze? Sit down. ”
"But I ......"
"Since I want them to accept you, then you have to accept them too." Milian continued to persuade that now was a good opportunity to bring Adele back to the group, and that he didn't want to see his students isolated.
However, Adele was still hesitating, she lowered her head and didn't say a word, and the atmosphere fell into embarrassment for a while.
Just then, a girl in front of him pointed to the classroom door.
"Look, instructor."
Only then did Milian remember that it was already time for class.
He turned around and saw a thin figure standing outside the door, it was none other than the transfer student, Fiona Sandra.
……
In the end, Adele was still isolated by the group, and Milian couldn't help it, it wasn't the fault of those people, but Adele felt inferior, and she was reluctant to join the group.
However, to Milian's relief, the newcomer Fiona sat directly next to Adele, and although Adele hid in the corner for a while, Fiona didn't say anything, just took the initiative to lean over.
In this way, after a few lessons, the two became friends smoothly, and Milian was also relieved.
Now it seems that his hopes have not been disappointed, and the transfer student has indeed changed the atmosphere of the classroom, because Fiona has a lot of fun and talk to everyone outside of class, including him as a teacher.
After school, he asked Adele to familiarize herself with the campus environment with the transfer students, and then said that he would help arrange accommodation.
The School of Magic has several academic buildings, as well as some three-story dormitories, all of which are used by students who are far away from home, and in addition to that, the huge campus is only full of greenery, like a huge garden.
The magic workshops where the tutors usually do research are underground, which is to prevent some magicians from studying dangerous magic and accidentally blowing up the workshop, which will spread to the entire academy, and it will be built underground to have a buffer.
Each dormitory in this academy can accommodate two people, and the total number of people in Adele's dormitory is just odd, and she is the last to live in, so she is the only one in that dormitory, and now it is just right for Fiona to live there.
After Fiona settles in, Adele offers to invite her to dinner as a way to commemorate their friendship.
The reason why Adele felt at ease when she was with Fiona was actually because she could see that Fiona's situation was similar to her, and she was basically helpless.
In fact, Adele does have royal blood, and is even the granddaughter of a previous king, as her father is none other than Leonard Yardnia, who has a heavy army on the border.
But since the beginning of the open and secret struggle between the candidates for the throne, my father did not hesitate to kill his mother in order to win over a big nobleman, just because his mother's family was hostile to that big nobleman.
Naturally, Adele was grief-stricken, cut off relations with her father on the spot, and then ran away from home, vowing to avenge her mother one day.
But now, she has left her family, and even three meals a day is a problem, and if it weren't for the fact that her bloodline still has a bit of gold, she wouldn't even be able to stay in the magic academy.
After listening to her story, Fiona bluntly said that her family environment was similar, and then solemnly said that since they became friends, they would treat each other with all sincerity in the future.
Adele couldn't help but be overjoyed, so she was willing to take out her savings and treat Fiona to a good meal.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't need to, how can I spend your money, your situation is worse than mine." Fiona tactfully refused.
"Oh, what's the polite thing to me? I'm happy to invite my friend to dinner, but you can't shirk it, otherwise our relationship will end here. ”
“…… Okay, okay. ”
Fiona couldn't help it, so she had to agree.
So, the next experience made Fiona happy, although it was just for the mission, but to be honest, it was the happiest day of her life, just because she met this girl named Adele.
In the evening, they walked back to the dormitory after a full meal, and today there was a rare moon, large and round, although it was cold, but it still looked very beautiful.
"Fiona, I ask you, what is your dream?"
"Dreams?" Fiona was lost in thought, she had never thought about it, so she didn't even make up the lines for the scene.
"Uh, is it possible that you don't have a dream?" Adele was surprised.
After all, young people should have dreams, and the students of the magic academy basically serve the nobles after learning magic, sell their reputations, or make a lot of money.
"When, of course not, how could I not have dreams, my dreams are ......"
"What is it?" Adele looked at her with interest.
But in the end, Fiona showed an extremely sad expression, she couldn't go on, even if she made one up on the spot, she couldn't do it.
She realized that she was broken by the word dream, of course she knew the meaning, but she always thought that her life belonged to her father, and the value of her life was to fulfill the mission assigned to her by her father.
However, after meeting Adele today, she felt a trace of temporary happiness, and a strong thought suddenly emerged in her heart, she wanted to have her own life, she wanted more happiness, but she couldn't, she couldn't disobey her father, and she trembled when she thought of her father's disappointment in her.
"Haha, it's okay if you can't say it," Adele looked at her embarrassed, and then smiled slightly, "At our age, even if we think about our dreams, it's useless, because after we have experienced a lot of things, it is very likely to change our initial thoughts, and there are only a handful of people who can always maintain their original intentions." ”
“…… Well, I see. Fiona forced a laugh.
"However, my dream at this stage is to learn magic and kill my father." Adele said coldly.
Fiona shuddered as she watched her grim expression in the moonlight.
"By the way, Adele, do you know where the academy's warehouse is?"
"Warehouse? Are you going there? ”
"Well," Fiona nodded, "I'm going to pick up something, and I submitted my application to the academy before that, and I've been approved now." ”
"Hmm, there are a lot of warehouses in the academy, each of which stores different kinds of things, which one do you want to go to?"
"I don't know, someone asked me to pick it up, it's a beautiful box anyway."
Fiona said, pulling out a drawing with all kinds of information about the box, including its appearance.
Adele looked at it for a moment, and then said happily.
"Ah, I know, you can see the information on the drawing, this item is located in the largest warehouse in the academy."
"Great, then I'll miss it first."
Fiona was about to leave, but Adele grabbed her.
"I'll go with you, you're not familiar with it."
"But you ...... too"
"Hehe, aren't you curious, I'm lonely now, why do I still have money to eat." Adele smiled mysteriously.
"Uh, where are you supposed to work?" Fiona couldn't help but speculate.
"Oh, I really got you right, I can't hide it, I usually guard the largest warehouse in the academy, but I changed shifts today, so I can help you get things out quickly, so you won't have to look for a long time."
“…… That's, that's fine. ”
Fiona couldn't shirk it, so she had to ask Adele to accompany her.
