Chapter 3 Lu Qi: A lonely man
All the lessons weren't boring, and some of them were a little interesting, except for the first lesson of the Magic Principle, Merlin didn't even succeed in falling asleep. He was most interested in Potions, because in the Potions course, the teacher actually carried a huge crucible into the classroom on the spot, used magic to raise a bunch of flames that would not scurry, and refined a pot of potion that could poison the whole audience!
Dramatically, a student near the front row was very unfortunate enough to inhale some mist of the decoction and collapsed on the spot. As long as you drink a small cup of this decoction, the toxicity can quickly penetrate into the bone marrow, this time only a little bit is inhaled, and no one can say what hidden harm it will have on the child's body.
At that time, the teacher very clearly used magic to draw a translucent barrier for students not to get close, but this guy didn't believe in this evil, and he really didn't have a long eye for tricks.
The teacher's name was Alai Diglivic, and he was a man who loved to show himself, and the pot of Abyssal Potion did not appear in their textbooks, he only wanted to make the students realize how smart he was and how skilled he was in refining potions. But his voice was not high, and the children did not pay the most attention to the decoction in his hand during the whole class, but the two narrow and soft black eyebrows on his forehead. Whenever he spoke, his mouth didn't widen wide, but his two eyebrows danced immediately.
They need to study a lot of courses this semester, including the Principle of Magic, Magic Training, Potions, Natural Sciences, Geography, Mathematics, Speculative Philosophy, Art, and Psychology. The first five of these nine courses filled the first half of the semester, and the second half of the semester switched to the last four courses, and there were exams for the corresponding courses in the semester, which was too far away for Merlin, but it was also something he needed to know.
Today there is a magic training class, which is an outdoor course, and you need to go to a special training ground to learn, and is responsible for teaching students to use specific magic and magic techniques. The male teacher who led the group was short and fat, two heads shorter than Eva, and his name was Carlo Eir. From a distance, Carlo in the middle of the training ground resembles an eraser in a pencil case.
"It's not a theoretical subject!" Carlo tore at his throat and yelled rather rudely, "This is a practical discipline, so if you can't cast any magic, I'll definitely give you a failing grade!" You must work hard to control the magic in your body and deal with your body more so that you can achieve good results in future training sessions! ”
"According to the school's syllabus, what we should learn today is the lighting technique, don't be bored, even if you can unleash some complex spells, the most basic magic control may still be problematic." Carlo was quite impatient, and a trace of contempt appeared in his eyes, "In order to avoid trouble, I will directly group you and train you in pairs." After walking to the designated position, everyone opened the manual they carried with them to train by themselves, and I would come forward to give guidance. I will ask you to each cast a spell in front of me after class, and you will be graded according to the completion of the release, and the score will be counted accordingly. ”
Carlo pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and read it in a daze. The man seemed to be old, his speech was slurred, and he didn't know if he could read the wrong list.
Lei Wei happily walked away with a good-looking girl, and the red-haired girl stared at him strangely, not as if she was so reluctant to go with him. Alan was actually assigned to Hume, the squad leader, Hume is still so sunny, Allen's face has become a little gloomy for some reason, probably not good at getting along with such lively people.
"Marlene Marquez and Marshall Jones in a group."
Merlin immediately looked at Marshall, who was cowering in a corner of the training ground, and saw that she didn't say a word, just stood there, looking at herself quietly.
"There's a strange feeling about her, even though she doesn't have magic herself." Nightmare secretly reminded, "There's something wrong with that sword. ”
And from Marshall's point of view, Erin was exclaiming, "Don't go near that person!" Evil...... I didn't expect to encounter such an evil thing......"
"What?" Marshall was surprised, "Why would there be something evil in him?" ”
Erin issued a series of "don't come closer" warnings: "He smells of runic creatures...... And very powerful runic creatures! Level 2 runic creatures...... No, it's very likely to be a first-level runic creature! ”
"Level 1?" Marshall was also surprised, but she still didn't know much about the power grading of runic creatures.
"As long as it's hostile to you, you're definitely dead end! Why would such a thing get in......" Erin was nervous, "and they're so cunning and so capable of escaping that even I hadn't been able to slay a runic creature of this type once." ”
Because of this, as Merlin approached her, he suddenly noticed that Marshall took two steps back in fear, as if instinctively developing a strange resistance to himself. This is also a dramatic scene: this beautiful and touching girl is afraid of the benefactor who made up for her soul back then!
"That sword is tempting." Even Márquez had already felt the nightmare's greedy thoughts and wanted to swallow the sword, "The magic is very strong. ”
"So, you're going to swallow it?"
"If you'll allow it."
"Not good, we're going to get caught."
Nightmare Merlin suddenly said proudly, "I was able to put everyone here to sleep. ”
"Not good."
"Why?" Nightmares feel weird.
"Because she's beautiful." Márquez said this inexplicably, causing Merlin to laugh.
Nightmare seems to be "pretty! Hahahaha! Pretty, so pretty! Nightmare shouted hysterically, "I didn't expect you to have such leisure to admire the girls!" ”
"So what should I do now?"
"Get stronger!"
"What's the point?"
"What's the point of being strong?"
"......" Nightmare fell silent suddenly, and surprisingly, he never said anything more. Merlin's soul fell silent.
Detached from the soul and coming to reality, since Marshall did not take the initiative to go to himself, then he should naturally look gentleman and take her to the prescribed training ground. Merlin came to Marshall's side, and for some reason the other party was hostile to him, he blinked, reached out his hand, and tried to shake her, but the other party did not respond, but froze in place.
"What should I do now?" On the other end, Marshall was a little flustered, she also understood that the current situation was very critical, and if she made the person in front of her unhappy, then she was likely to die......
"You can test it first, if he's not hostile to you...... "try not to get anxious about him, or make a good impression on him, but the opposite seems to be the case now." ”
Marshall swallowed his saliva, quickly stretched out his hand, and shook Merlin with sweat, Merlin's body shook, the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, and his smile was not so natural. As a result of this contact, the sweat on Marshall's palms was wiped on Merlin's hands, and the two of them were suddenly very embarrassed.
"Let's go." Merlin squeezed out a smile and planned to lead Marshall to the designated training ground, but Marshall nodded and remained silent. The two of them went one after the other, and Marshall seemed quite reluctant, but not to the extent that he couldn't pull it.
"I'm not impregnated." On the way, Merlin heard something like this, "So, I can't use magic." ”
Merlin opened his mouth to ask why, but he kept silent with interest: "It's okay, I'm afraid the teacher will come over ......"
"I don't know." Marshall seemed to realize that there was nothing terrible about the other party, so his tone gradually softened, "I was arranged by my family to come here to observe." ”
"Is that so......" Merlin thought for a moment, and finally felt that Marshall was likely to be alone for the next few years, "Well, we are friends, how about it?" ”
Marshall was a little incredulous: "What, what? Why? ”
"We are classmates, can't classmates make friends with each other? I'm very good at using wind magic, and I can conjure beautiful flowers. With that, Merlin turned his hand and conjured a blooming pale pink chrysanthemum and shook it at Marshall, "Isn't it pretty?" ”
"Oh...... Well...... It's pretty good......" Marshall also felt strange, he was so inexplicably courting himself, there was no reason......
Perhaps, she thought too much about herself, and did not get out of the previous deceit, and thought that this was a cage where the battle of life and death was hidden. In fact, Charlie had sent her here as a useless waste in his path, and he had more important things to do at the moment, and he didn't care about her shit.
"That's good. That sword on you looks sharp, will you use it? ”
"I'm specially trained."
Merlin's next words clearly poked Marshall's sore spot: "Oh, then you should go to the school next door!" ”
Unbeknownst to him, Marshall had moved out of the Knight Academy, and had been forced out not long ago. Although Marshall was unwilling, she had no choice but to bear it silently at the moment.
Originally, Marshall thought that she would be annoyed and angry, but for some reason, a warmth swelled up in her heart, and she naturally said: "I was transferred from the Knight Academy." ”
Merlin paused and looked at Marshall carefully, her eyes finally falling on her calloused hands.
"If you come, you will be safe." Merlin's dark purple eyes were shining, and he said quite hard, "If anyone bullies you, just chop them up with a sword." ”
In an instant, Marshall read something similar to her in Merlin's eyes—loneliness. What was even more surprising was that she saw extreme indifference in the eyes of a boy of her age in front of her. She couldn't help but wonder if it was a suitable thing to be friends with the guy in front of her.
