Chapter 3 Lu Wu: Late autumn
It's cold. The streets of the sycamores, adjacent to the central avenue, are paved with old gray and red, and the wheels of the carriage crunch over the dried sycamore leaves. Pedestrians on the street inevitably added some clothes, and the magic sun in the sky no longer became the target of public criticism, and in late autumn, it quickly became popular. There were a lot of people on the streets, all of them parents and their soon-to-be-school children.
It's Merlin's school day, Lilac Street is four blocks away from the Central School of Magic, and Sheldon is in charge of calling a carriage to take him to school. Sheldon succeeded in taking the position of general counsel for magical affairs in a chamber of commerce not far from his home with the help of the Merlin Sect. In this way, not only can you get a legal income, but you can also successfully integrate the two of them into the surrounding environment.
After all, in a few years, Sheldon was about to separate from Merlin, at least as the agreement said, and since then, Sheldon has re-entered the Merlin Sect as an extremely important officer. If Merlin had matured physically and had been used properly, the political structure of the Yaris would have undergone significant changes.
But all this has nothing to do with Xiao Merlin for the time being, he put his schoolbag on the carriage hard, and he can't close the sporadic expectations under his eyes, after all, he still goes to a new place by himself to make contact with others. Merlin was informed by the Central Academy of Magic that he had been assigned to an advanced class that was one level higher than that of ordinary students, and Sheldon was naturally overjoyed, and the two went to the most famous restaurant on Daisy Street [Pig's Head] to have a big meal to reward Merlin's efforts. Although Merlin knew that he was not trying to go anywhere, even if he tried in this direction, it would not lead to results.
Merlin's biggest contributor to being able to enter the school was Alan who he had met in the [City of Motherhood] before, if it weren't for the fact that he released the nightmare in time to help him check the answer, he probably wouldn't have even been able to pass the first hurdle...... In any case, it would be best to be able to enroll.
The wheels are rolling, the flow of people and vehicles is constantly shuttling, and it is unknown whether time is also a change of people and traffic. When Merlin saw the doors of the Academy of Magic again, he was already one of them. The next few years, unsurprisingly, will be spent in it. Although he left Sheldon's embrace, on the whole, things were still moving in a good direction.
Merlin didn't carry his staff with him, on the one hand, it was inconvenient to hold, on the other hand, he couldn't suppress the magic power released from the World Tree under the state of sealing magic, if he got rid of the shackles of the [Forbidden Demon Cloth], everything around him would uncontrollably spread flowers and green grass, and the powerful vitality of the World Tree was not just talking.
"I also studied here at the beginning, and the teachers were very good." Sheldon and Merlin stepped down from the carriage together, waved the coachman not to leave yet, and got on the car again after sending the children off, "I'll pick you up in the evening, if you have classmates living nearby, you can walk back with them, I'm sure you won't run into any bad people on the road." Oh yes, it's your pocket money. โ
Sheldon took out a small bag from his bosom, which contained five glittering gold coins, which were not privately minted gold coins, but the standard gold coins specially issued by Yaris Money, and the purchasing power was first-class. Five gold coins was not a small amount, and it should be enough to cover Merlin's expenses for a week, and he believed that the little one would be able to control himself and not buy things indiscriminately. No matter how bad it is, he also has the support of the Merlin Sect behind him, so he won't be able to take out so many gold coins.
"Well, goodbye, Dad." Merlin yawned, waved back, and entered the school with the students around him. He looked around at everything around him, on the one hand, it was something he had seen, and on the other hand, it was new to him, because he was truly integrated into the school.
Walk through the meeting hall and into the central hall where students can relax, and then walk to the front right to the teaching area, and a little further on, there is a dormitory area for students and teachers. However, Merlin is still a day student, and the dormitory area is not his turn to enjoy it for the time being.
There are six teaching buildings, one for each grade, with the first grade being the front and the advanced class at the front of the first floor. After all, there must be an inextricable link between the best and the most conspicuous. Merlin didn't come early or late, the seats in front were all occupied, and the back half of the country was up to him. Most of the students sat at the front of the table in order to get acquainted with each other, chatting in twos and threes, but there were some exceptions.
Alan sat in the penultimate row of the row by the door, reading a book. Sitting in the other corner was a blonde girl, who for some reason had a thin sword at her table. Merlin swallowed and greeted Alan, "Alan, meet again." โ
"Classmates?" Alan smiled, "It's fine." In the next few years, I hope to be able to take care of it more, and I still remember the experience of the last [City of Motherhood]. I didn't expect you to grow so much taller after not seeing you for a while, and I didn't see it before. โ
There are few people in this class who are taller than Merlin, and his body is growing quickly: "Anyway, please take care of me later." Alan waved his hand, did not speak, and continued to read his book, Merlin did not want to bother, so he took out the textbook he had bought earlier from his bag and stuffed it into the belly of the table.
Merlin still couldn't help but look at the girl sitting behind her left, for she was able to give him a sense of familiarity, as if he had met her when and where...... But he couldn't say what happened......
The blonde girl looked absentmindedly out the window, frowning slightly, and there was a book on the table about the devil, turning a page, but she didn't read any further. Merlin felt that the girl seemed unhappy in something, but he couldn't tell what was unhappy.
Within a few years of being with Sheldon, Merlin was raised to be more introverted, but he didn't think it was bad. He doesn't reach out to people most of the time, but when others want to communicate with him, he can deal with it calmly. A slightly chubby boy sat down next to Merlin in the blink of an eye, panting, and quickly asked himself if he was late.
Merlin shook his head, and the dark-haired boy fiddled with the two buttons on his neckline, tangled it for two seconds, and then quickly untied it. He smiled at Merlin and said, "My name is Levi Fichte. โ
"My name is Marin Mรกrquez." Merlin was in a trance and even thought that his name was Marlin.
"Marlin? That's a good name. Lei Wei smacked his lips, "I'm good at refining potions, of course, things like entrance tests are naturally sprinkled with water." I don't like to get around with a whole bunch of people. By the way, Marin, what do you like? โ
"I don't know, maybe you like the magic pattern build?"
"Haha, Demonic Pattern Build? That's hard! My family knew a few Demon Pattern Builders before, and they had weird tempers! Lei Wei patted his stomach, "What do you like besides the Magic Pattern Build?" It's not just magic, it's everything else, maybe we can be friends! โ
"It's noisy." Allen, who was reading a book on the side, frowned.
"Oh? What is your name? Lei Wei raised an eyebrow and stepped forward.
Alan teased his upper eyelids: "Alan Van Sbilder." โ
"Vanspeeld?" Lei Wei's eyes widened, and his thick neck shrunk, "Yes, is it the Vanspeld family?" Am I going to call you Childe? โ
"I just wish you could speak quieter now." Alan turned a page and grabbed lightly to his side, as if he had caught a void, he looked around and found Lei Wei with an apologetic face, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little lost, "Oh......"
Noelle was not by her side for a while, and she was a little unaccustomed to it. He naturally thought back to his old self, and the corners of his mouth lifted up slightly. Over the years, he has indeed changed and become a lot.
Now the teacher hasn't come in yet, probably leaving time for the students to get acquainted with each other, although Merlin can't recognize all the students in the class, but he can also remember the face. He bet that this girl named Hume Fan would be the leader of the class - she could easily make the people around her like her, and she could quickly make the people around her hate her, wasn't that a perfect candidate to be the class president? Hume was definitely the most talkative person in the class, and in just half an hour, she memorized the names of all her classmates, including the blonde girl sitting in the corner.
It was because of her that Merlin knew that the name of the girl who brought him a sense of familiarity was Marshall.
A female teacher in a black robe walked into the classroom, and the class was silent, Merlin knew the female teacher, who had accompanied her during the test.
"People, are you all here?" The female teacher's face is very thin, her lips are slightly dark, her nose is firm, she has a pair of black glasses on the bridge of her nose, and there is a mole in the corner of her right eye, "My name is Eva, and I am the instructor of this advanced class, and I will explain to you in time if there is anything after that." I am also responsible for everyone's discipline, and I hope that in the future study and life, you will not use your magic power casually, and if there is any destruction, everything is conceited. In fact, the advanced class is no different from the ordinary class, all the resources have to be tested for yourself, if you want to learn, then everything in this school will be open to everyone, if you don't seize the opportunity, then the opportunity will not wait for you. โ
Eva's eyes fell lightly on Merlin's shoulder, and then drifted away again, and continued: "I am also the teacher of everyone's magic principle class, and the class schedule will appear on the blackboard in front of the door, and everyone will attend the class according to the daily class schedule. Today's first lesson is the Magic Principle, however, before the class...... We need to take care of the basics of the class. After the first class, everyone needs to go to the lobby to attend the opening ceremony. โ
The so-called basic affairs are to decide on the position of squad leader, and Hume is naturally elected. Eva gave a few more brief instructions, and then began today's topic.
Merlin didn't react for a moment, he didn't expect it all to start so quickly. He took out a book called "The Principle of Magic", turned to the first page, and listened with great interest, but soon his eyelids began to droop, for he was not very interested in all this.
