Chapter 11: Unique Titles
Half a day later, the seventh floor of the Wizard's Tower.
Moya lay on the soft and comfortable futon, looking at the scene outside the window, and his mind unconsciously relaxed.
"This is your room, you rest for a while, and in two hours I'll have someone call you to eat."
The words that Fren had said before leaving flashed through his mind, and Moya let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and a strong sense of sleepiness quickly welled up in his heart.
Knock knock, knock knock!
When Moya woke up to a rhythmic knock on the door, it was already dark outside the window.
"Senior brother, the teacher asked me to call you over for dinner."
A gentle male voice came from outside the house, and Mo Ya quickly got up and opened the door, only to see a tall blonde young man standing outside the door, looking at him with curiosity.
"Hello, I'm Yamu, according to the teacher, I should be your senior brother?"
Brother? What is this called?
Mo Ya was slightly stunned, as if he didn't understand what the other party was saying, and when the other party called himself junior brother before, Mo Ya thought that he had heard it wrong.
"That, may I ask, what do you mean by senior brother and junior brother?"
"Oh, this, didn't the teacher tell you on the way? This is a term used for the disciples of wizards to refer to each other. ”
When the blond-haired young man heard Moya's question, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and explained in a gentle tone.
"The term derives from the relationship between the first sorcerers and the great sorcerers, and does not mean the siblings of the teacher, but rather the kinship-like relationship formed by the bond between the same teacher, in simple terms, the family members who bear the name of the same family."
Family members with the same name......
Moya's mind began to struggle to understand the meaning of these words, and at the same time, his mind was reminded of what he had seen along the way and Fren's attitude towards him.
"In other words, this is a way of saying that the teacher is a father?" Moya asked the blonde young man with some suspicion.
"Haha, it's not impossible for you to understand it this way, after all, for many wizards' disciples, the wizards who have taught them since childhood are indeed like parents to them."
When the blonde youth heard this, he laughed, as if he was amused by Moya's ignorant appearance.
"It's okay, it's normal to not get used to it for a while, and when you shout a few more words, you'll understand, compared to the title of senior brother and directly calling each other's names, what is behind the title of senior brother and brother."
The blonde youth patted Moya on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Come, let's shout a few words first, just introduce yourself."
"Yamu... Hello senior brother, I'm Mo Ya, and I'll trouble you to take care of me in the future. ”
Mo Ya looked at Yamu, nodded, and then said with some awkwardness, while carefully observing the young man in front of him.
I was paying attention to the question of salutation just now, but I forgot to take a closer look at my own ... Senior brother.
I saw that the young man in front of him had neat and short hair, his eyes and hair color were very eye-catching golden, his facial features were as handsome as a knife, and there was a gentle smile on his face.
The person in front of him is definitely not ordinary.
At the first glance of Yamu, Moya's instincts told him so.
"Well, yes, yes, isn't that a quick adaptation? But Senior Brother Mo Ya, you are still too modest, the teacher has a very high opinion of you, maybe I will ask Mo Ya to take care of me in the future. ”
"Let's go, I'll take you to the cafeteria first, don't let the teacher wait for them."
Yamu said with a laugh, patted Moya on the back, and led Moya to walk unhurriedly in the corridor, while chatting with Moya from time to time.
During the conversation, Mo Ya learned that although Yamu was only twenty-three years old, his spiritual power was only one step away from becoming an official wizard, and the other party was still sixteen years old when he began to practice meditation.
"In other words, Senior Brother, you have a great chance of breaking through to a wizard this year?"
"I'm about ninety percent sure, to be honest, I originally planned to delay it for another year, but if it goes on like this, I'm afraid the teacher will fight with me."
Yamu teased, a helpless expression on his face.
"It's... Doesn't Senior Brother want to become a wizard, otherwise why delay? ”
Moya turned his head sideways, looked at Yamu's expression, and asked a little suspiciously.
"Uh, ahem, that ...... There's a slight reason for that, and that's probably that I'm more foolproof, well, that's it. ”
Yamu faced Mo Ya's suspicious eyes, coughed lightly, and explained two sentences vaguely.
Seeing that Yamu didn't plan to say much, Mo Ya didn't ask too much, and honestly followed the other party to the restaurant on the eighth floor.
As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by a quaint but elegant dining room, where the illuminated stone lamps quietly emit soft light, and the aroma of food fills the air silently.
In the center of the dining room is a large square table, which is clearly designed with large banquets in mind.
"It's finally here, Moya, come here, let everyone know."
Fren sat at the head of the table facing the door, smiling at Moya, flanked by a blue-haired girl and a young black-haired woman with a somewhat similar face.
"Let's go, don't be stupid here, we're all looking forward to what our new junior brother will be like?"
Yamu quietly pushed Moya's back, and Moya bowed slightly, but just after selling a step, he looked at the empty seats on both sides and hesitated again.
"Here, here! Little brother, sit down with me! ”
Suddenly, an excited shout came to mind, and I saw the blue-haired girl sitting on the left waving to Mo Ya excitedly.
So welcoming......
Mo Ya's expression stiffened slightly, as if he was a little unaccustomed to being invited so warmly as soon as he came up.
"Ahem, Moya, you can sit next to Ovilia, but Ovilia, you remove the adhesion technique on that chair first, how many times have I told you, don't play pranks when eating."
Fren glanced at the blue-haired girl on the side and sighed helplessly, but the blue-haired girl made a grimace at Fren instead.
"Oh~ The teacher is really, people are just afraid that the junior brother will regret running away after sitting up, how can there be any bad intentions?"
After saying that, the blue-haired girl looked at Moya expectantly, and it looked like a kitten expecting a mouse to fall into the tank.
“……”
Moya looked at the blue-haired girl, and then at Fren, who looked helpless, and didn't know what to say for a while.
In the end, Moya walked over and sat next to the other party under the girl's expectant eyes, while Yamu sat beside the black-haired woman opposite unknowingly.
"Let me introduce to you, this is my newly accepted disciple, Mo Ya, from today onwards, he will be your junior disciple."
Flon glanced around at a few people and introduced in a gentle, soothing tone.
"Welcome, Moya, you don't need to be so restrained here, you can treat us as your relatives."
The blonde young man Yamu warmly welcomed Moya, while the dark-haired woman next to her smiled and nodded at Moya.
"I'm Ovilia, and I'll be your senior sister from today onwards, come, junior brother, shout senior sister and see!"
The blue-haired girl raised her little head, held her head high, patted her chest and said excitedly, constantly aiming at Moya with expectant eyes.
“……”
Mo Ya looked at the girl in front of him, who was at least three years younger than herself, and the muscles in her face twitched slightly.
"Ahem, Ovilia just turned 13 years old, so although he is your senior sister, I'm afraid I will have to take care of her more in the future."
Fren's voice came from the side.
Is he only thirteen years old?
When Mo Ya heard this, his mentality suddenly changed, and when he looked at Ovilia again, his eyes were already like looking at the bear children in the village.
So, I saw Mo Ya chuckling and lowering his head and stretching out his hand:
"Hello Senior Sister Auvillea, I'm Moya, please take care of me in the future."
It's really easy to fool a child or something, and when Mo Ya was young, he easily fooled the eldest son of the earl, who was two years older than him, into a daze.
For example, when he was nine years old, he fooled the other party and almost drank a glass of mercury used in the ceremony, when he was eleven years old, he fooled the other party who wanted to lead someone to surround him into the monster's lair, and at the age of twelve, he provoked the other party to do something to the second daughter of the duke who visited the earl's house......
Well, although it is not something suitable for talking to the public, Moya does have a lot of experience in dealing with children.
When Ovilia saw Moya so cooperative, she suddenly became excited and began to chatter.
Seeing the situation of the two, Yamu on the side touched his nose, leaned into the ear of the black-haired girl, and whispered:
"I said, the teacher seems to have found a very difficult guy to come in this time, it seems that I can be a little lazy in the future."
"Well, it seems that he will be a very good junior brother?"
The black-haired woman agreed, but her gaze stayed on Yamu, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile, and a soft color flashed in her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
Fren on the side didn't pay attention to the situation on Yamu's side, but looked at Moya, who seemed to be very handy in dealing with Ovilia, and let out a long sigh of relief, even showing a relieved look.
Finally someone can control his little disciple, since taking Ovilia as an apprentice, the wizard tower has often been made by the other party.
"Alright, Ovilia, let's stop for a moment, we're not done yet."
As he spoke, Furon looked at Moya, then moved his gaze to Yamu and the dark-haired woman to the side.
"Moya, this is Yamu and Lumina, Yamu is my earliest disciple, and Lumina is my daughter and disciple, they are very familiar with the affairs of the Wizard Tower and my witchcraft, usually if there is any problem, I can go directly to them if I am not there."
Mo Ya nodded, smiled at the two of them and greeted:
"In the future, I will have to worry about Senior Brother Yamu and Senior Sister Lumina."
"Well, since we all know each other, let's hurry up and eat, if you don't eat again, the food will be cold."
Fren looked around, spoke gently, and then took the initiative to pick up the utensils on the table and started moving.
When it was time to eat, the blue-haired girl beside Moya seemed to be much more settled, or rather, all her attention was focused on food.
On the contrary, Mo Ya and Yamu chatted with great interest as if they had opened a conversation.
"Eh, Moya, were you a nobleman before? Can't see it at all? ”
"Is it that outrageous?"
"Hmm... If Senior Brother Mo Ya didn't take the initiative to say it, it would be really difficult to see that Senior Brother you were actually from a noble background. ”
"It's nothing, it's just an earl's illegitimate son, and that's a thing of the past."
"Haha, too, let him go through those troubles, come, cheers! Let's congratulate Senior Brother Mo Ya on coming! ”
"Gollum ~ Dry... Cheers" "Ovilia, how many times have I said that you can't drink yet! ”
