During my lunch break, I took the time to meet Dean Kozmo at Bromin College.

The morning fog has lifted, the sun is shining, and the sea is like a deep blue jewel, and the waves are calm. From the top floor of the minaret, you can see merchant ships laden with food and groceries slowly sailing into the busy port of Kethera, and my father's castle looms over the cliffs.

The fragrance of black tea came to my nose, the heat was steaming on my face, I held up the teacup and took a shallow sip, the familiar bitterness spread on the tip of my tongue, and all the fatigue disappeared.

"It was brought to me by your father, and it is said to be a tribute from the royal family." Dean Kozmo drank all the black tea in the cup, frequently raised his gray eyebrows, and exhaled a full mouthful of heat, "How is it, how is your impression of Bromin's College?" ”

"To be honest, the conditions were tougher than I thought."

"Of course it can't compare to your father's castle, but the tradition of Bromin's House has always been like this, it's easy to get sleepy if you eat too much, and life is too comfortable and comfortable, and it's hard to improve magically."

"Soon I will be able to adapt to life here. If the prince of the Oxskin Empire can do it, I don't think I will have any problems. ”

"You mean Prince Alfred? He's your rival, and at Bromin's Academy, he controls the apprenticeship, and even some of his mentors secretly support him. ”

I've heard about it. Before leaving Port Kethera, my father had warned me that Oxskin had reached for Bromin, and that their ambitions were endless. Prince Alfred has a secret mission, and his purpose in traveling to Bromin's Academy is never to study magic.

"And what about you, dear Dean Kozmo?"

"Of course I'm on your side, but I'm too old to help me. Did you find any outstanding characters among the new students who entered the school this time? "Kozmo deftly digressed the subject, old fox, and he always avoided talking about his position, which is his usual style.

I shook my head and sighed, "Judging from their test performance, the qualifications are mediocre, at best mediocre, and there is a lack of outstanding people - but there is one person who caught my eye." ”

"It must be unusual to be able to get into Miss Priscilla's eyes. What's his name? ”

"Dino Lombart, he stayed at Bromin College without taking the entrance test, which is unusual."

Kozmo was no stranger to the name, he put down his teacup, got up and walked to the bookshelf, pulled out a letter of recommendation from the bottom, and said, "He has this, it was given to me by Alfred himself, you better take a look." ”

The envelope had been opened, and I noticed the wax stamped with the coat of arms of the royal family of Oxskin, two crossed swords. I pulled out the letter, skimmed through it, and returned it to the dean.

"Any thoughts?" Kozmo asked me with interest.

I gently stirred the tea with a silver spoon, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "...... That Dino, he's an aristocratic son of Oxskin? ”

"It's not. I asked Alfred the same question, and he said that Dino was a commoner, just an ordinary knight, and had no illustrious status. ”

"A knight's servant?" I was completely confused, "Coming here to study magic?" ”

Oxskin has always had the reputation of a knight's country, where the status of a servant is almost equal to that of a trainee knight, as long as he performs well on the battlefield and is recognized by the great lord, he can be knighted and further obtain titles and fiefdoms. It is a fantasy that a highly trained servant who has one foot on this path to success would give up his knighthood to become a magical apprentice at Bromin's Academy.

Cozmo stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "Yes, Alfred's handwritten letter of recommendation, according to Flynn's agreement with Oxskin, can be exempted from the test and go directly to the school, I can't refuse, even if he is as thick as a cow and a magic outsider." ”

"Which kind of magic did he choose?"

"It's not elemental magic, he's going to learn Eagle Eye, and I'm guessing Alfred wants to raise a special scout to prepare for war years later."

War, that's synonymous with the devil and hell! I frowned in disgust, and my disgust with Alfred increased a little more. "Isn't the Eagle Eye technique lost?"

"I thought so, but that's not the case."

Kozmo hesitated, crossed his fingers, and said slowly, "The Eagle Eye Technique has always been kept in the hands of the Oxskin royal family, and no one knows about its existence. Alfred struggled to find it, but he couldn't read the hard and obscure Guflin language, and the spellbook was a pile of waste paper to him, so he made a deal with me to generously gift a copy of the spellbook to Bromin's Academy, in exchange for which I had to teach the Eagle Eye to the people of their choosing, and swore not to leak it. ”

"This person is Dino?"

"Yes, a knightly servant from Frenzburg, Dino Lombart."

"I see, I've never heard you talk about it!" I'm a little dissatisfied. As a citizen of Flynn Country, he had concealed such an astonishing secret.

"Dear Priscilla, didn't I tell you? If you'd like to learn more about Eagle Eye, I wouldn't mind breaking my oath and lending you a copy of the Book of Spells. Dean Kozmo talked a lot, and his mouth was a little dry, and he poured a new cup of black tea and took a few sips to moisten his throat.

Reprimanding the elders for being rude, I quickly adjusted my mood and asked, "What does Alfred want to do when he brings a knight into the academy and does everything possible to teach him the Eagle Eye technique?" ”

"Priscilla, you don't have to worry, even if you learn the Eagle Eye Technique, you're just a scout at best, and you won't pose any threat. Think about it, what can Eagle Eye do for it, strengthen his eyesight, detect movement in the distance, the assembly of troops, the movement of troops, that's all, he can't see the future! ”

"Alfred is just raising a scout? I don't think it's that simple! ”

The light and shadow in the stone minaret were quietly changing, and the lunch break was soon over, and I had to rush to the afternoon magic class. Before leaving, I suddenly remembered something and casually asked, "Alfred studied wind magic?" ”

"Wind and water, he has great ambitions and wants to become a rare dual-line magician."

"What is his level?"

"Acceleration Elementary, Ice Arrow Elementary, and also studying the magic array, greedy and chewy, it is impossible for a student like this to graduate from Bromin Academy." Apparently Kozmo did not approve of Alfred's choice, believing that he was simply a waste of time.

Acceleration, ice arrows, magic arrays, and the Eagle Eye Technique, I had a bottom in my heart and politely bid farewell to the dean.
