When the yellowish sun appeared directly above the roof of the building in the distance, the report of the chief assistant professor in the dean's office was also nearing the end.

The pipe on Professor Yao's lips has never been extinguished, as if an engine is running at full power, always muffling white smoke, drowning the entire upper half of the office in a thick smoke.

"Anything else?" After discussing the pile of reports on the table, the professor rubbed his sour eyes, took the pipe from his mouth, and then looked up at the lead teaching assistant in front of him as he stuffed tobacco into the pot.

The long question and answer consumed a lot of Zhang Yu's physical strength, and also made his voice hoarse.

"That's all there is to it. The teaching assistant said in a hoarse voice, "But there are still a few things that need you to determine a general direction first. ”

Old Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and did not speak immediately, but raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Smack!"

Several elves in gray overalls suddenly appeared in front of the professor, some holding fruit bowls, some dragging teapots, some holding rags, and some dragging a copper trumpet flower with a wide mouth, and rushed into the layer of smoke above everyone's heads.

Although the professor did not explain, Zhang Yu knew that when he reported to the professor before, these elves had been restricted from the office by the professor's magic. They can't come in and sweep and serve until they are allowed to.

The muffled whine of the smoker swirled overhead, the impurities of the sweeper's color, smell and fresh air, a few white rags that swept across the desks, windowsills, and bookcases, and in the blink of an eye a dusty color, and the elf who was dragging the teapot, followed by a string of tinkling teacups, stopped in front of the young teaching assistant.

"Huh?" she looked at the wizard with a pair of sparkling eyes, and a pleasant inquiring sound came out of her mouth.

"Thank you. The gray-haired young teaching assistant nodded slightly and thanked him gently.

The elf smiled, and with a wave of her little arm, a small teacup flew out from behind her, floating in front of the young wizard. Then with another finger, the teacup suddenly swelled, and in an instant it changed from a centimeter to a few inches in size.

"Enough, enough. The young teaching assistant stopped him repeatedly, and his voice seemed a little embarrassed.

"Hahahaha!" Behind the desk, Professor Yao let out a series of loud laughter: "You shouldn't be so polite to them...... It's all solid-eyed little things, hahahaha......"

The loud laughter echoed in the office, not only shaking the elf who was pouring tea, but also pausing the whining smoker in mid-air for a few seconds, and waking a young wizard from sleep in the corner of the office who was napping on the sofa.

"Done?" Thomas struggled to get up from the couch with his sleepy eyes open. But then he stumbled under his feet and almost fell again.

"Oh yo—" The professor hurriedly waved his hand, and several vines spread out of the void, flexibly setting up a shelf behind Thomas, supporting his leaning body.

"It's almost over, you can sleep a little longer. When the professor saw the young wizard standing firm, he snapped his fingers again, put the vines back, and said with a smile: "Or some large-leaf tea?" This was sent to me by Uncle Stendhal the other day, saying that a small earth dragon in the Hundred Herbs Garden lost his temper and knocked down an old tea tree...... So he stir-fried the leaves that were still usable on top and wrapped a little bit for each of us. ”

"Uncle Stendhal?" Thomas rubbed the corners of his eyes and muttered subconsciously, but then realized his position and immediately added, "Well, let's have some tea...... I slept for a long time and my mouth was a little dry. ”

As if hearing his request, the elf not far away dragged the big teapot and flew over after pouring tea for Zhang Yu, and slowly poured a large cup of tea for Thomas.

The yellow-brown tea soup showed a strange bright color in the dim light of the room, and Thomas shook the cup, and several waves of water rippled from the center, hit the wall of the teacup, and then retreated, and then rushed up again, and so on, and so on.

On the other side, Zhang Yu had already continued to report to the professor.

“...... Christmas is just a few days away, and the student council wants to be able to approve a few elk and a sleigh or pumpkin cart to give gifts to the students......"

"Tell me about this kind of thing?" Professor Yao raised his pipe.

The face of the chief assistant standing in front of him remained unchanged, and his tone did not even fluctuate in the slightest: "...... Because flying elk are dangerous magical creatures of three stars or above, their entry into the academy requires your approval. ”

"Oh, that's right...... How do I remember that there were no such arrangements before?" Old Yao withdrew his pipe and coughed dryly.

"Mainly considering that there are a lot of things happening in the school this semester, in order to calm everyone's emotions, the student council studied for a long time and finally chose this plan. ”

"Hmph, don't do business all day, have a meeting to study this mess...... No wonder some people are bent on opening a grocery store!" The professor bit his pipe, his eyes swept over the red and black card on the desk, as if he remembered something, he spit out a few smoke rings in displeasure, and reprimanded: "It's just that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked!"

Thomas, who was drinking tea not far away, heard the professor's words and almost squirted the tea out of his mouth.

"The school is not very peaceful now, so don't add any more chaos and bring in some messy little things from outside. After Lao Yao took a few puffs of cigarettes, he finally set the tone: "...... As for elk or something, look around the school, pet garden, spirit garden or something, I remember that there are a lot of small things that can pull a cart and fly. If you don't have elk, you can find a few long-haired dogs. I really can't find it, so I can discuss it with Councilor Su and arrange a few big foxes. ”

Sitting on the couch, Thomas put his hand on his forehead, trying to block out the unreliable ideas of a professor not far away.

"Okay. Zhang Yu considered the professor's suggestion very seriously, and then put forward a new problem: "It's just that Councilor Su still needs your help to coordinate ......."

"Well, it's easy to say, it's easy to say. As he spoke, the professor reached out and tore off a pale cyan note from the note book on the table, scribbled a few words on it, and then rubbed it and threw it, and the paper ball rolled in the air, suddenly turning into a paper crane.

The cyan paper crane didn't seem to fully adjust to its crumpled body, and it took a while to stabilize its body, make a few noises, and after circling above the professor's head, it flew straight in the direction of the window.

With just one pounce, he passed through the closed glass window.

The thick layer of glass on the window didn't seem to exist, and even the shadow of the paper crane didn't block it. Leaving a few ripples on the glass, scattering several layers of colorful light from the sunlight outside the window, falling on the dimly lit office, it looks particularly stunning.
