Chapter 32: Be reasonable
The horror didn't happen right away, and Harris nodded slightly with a blank face.
"I heard you have a conflict with Kresss?"
The words sounded peaceful, at least.
Colin was helpless, lamenting that his teacher was not around, like a baby who was bullied.
"Yes."
"I've heard you describe me as a young fool with no vision?" Harris immediately picked up.
it!
Colin never expected the other party to be so straightforward.
The fire and thunder really didn't scream in vain.
Now he is even worried that this great magician will really teach him a lesson, others may not dare, but with the legendary temper in front of him, it is really hard to say.
Colin stole a glance at Kress.
Although this guy lowered his head, he probably felt happy in his heart.
At this point, stretching out and shrinking the head is a knife, and it can't be looked down upon.
He turned his heart sideways.
"I don't say it's stupid, but 'I'm not old but have no vision', and I took the initiative to ask Mr. Kress to convey it to you, please don't mistake him for telling the truth."
Kress's expressionless face couldn't help but twitch, and his heart said that this guy is crazy, what kind of temper does the teacher have? Even if you are a disciple of Roman Sagan, the loss in front of you is not creditable now.
However, it was not expected by the two.
Instead of being angry, Harris smiledβthough the smile on his normally serious face was even more intimidating.
"To be honest, I originally had a bad impression of you, and I thought that Your Excellency 'Storm Guidance' was looking away, but now it seems that you are at least better than I thought."
"Thank you for the compliment." Colin was slightly relieved.
"Do you think I'm going to beat you up on the spot?" Harris sneered.
"I do have that concern." Colin admits it calmly.
"Then keep this worry, because it is possible." Harris spoke astonishingly.
Colin was stunned for a moment, and then his whole body tensed involuntarily.
Damn, this old guy doesn't play his cards according to common sense!
Harris sneered, "Do you know why I'm called 'Flame Rush'? β
"Because of your attainments in fire-based spells, and your ......," Colin hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "and a fiery personality." β
"That's a good point."
Harris said with a straight face: "But don't think I'm a casual tantrum person, I'm afraid you don't know, I'm the most reasonable." β
Without waiting for Colin to speak, he continued: "It is precisely because of being reasonable, so I am very disgusted with unreasonable people, and it is a pity that there are too many people in this world who only reason when they are reasonable, and once they are unreasonable, they begin to be unreasonable. β
As soon as Colin sorted out the tongue twister-like words, he heard Harris say:
"So at this time, you have to use spells to reason."
"You think I'm unreasonable?" Colin asked boldly.
"I'll give you plenty of time to reason, but if in the end you don't have anything to say, or start to be unreasonable......"
Harris snorted coldly: "I will teach you a lesson on the spot, and then take you with me to reason with Master Roman." β
Colin relaxed slightly.
"First question." Harris put his hands behind his back: "What contradictions do you have with Kress, make it all clear today, if it's his fault, I will never protect it." β
"It's very simple."
Colin looked at Kress, "May I ask Mr. Kress if you took away the ice from the training of the Wizards in the Guild in advance, causing my friend Anne Heckert to lose his livelihood." β
Kress was momentarily stunned.
In his heart, he always thought that it was the slander of Roman Sagan and Colin himself behind his back that led to the conflict between the two sides, but he didn't expect Colin to bring up this matter.
"That'...... That's ownerless. Kress was caught off guard and argued vigorously.
"I didn't say you can't take it!"
Colin finally regained some initiative and said loudly, "If you really need those ice cubes, I won't say anything, but if you're deliberately trying to make things difficult for Anne Heckert just to persecute Jennifer, then you have to make it clear."
"Now, in the presence of Lord Harris, please ask Mr. Kress to answer me head-on, why did you take those ice cubes?"
Harris's sharp gaze shot at his disciple.
Kress knew very well the teacher's upright character, and after all, he didn't dare to lie, and bowed his head and admitted:
"Mr. Vane is right, it's my fault."
"Jennifer is the daughter of Baron Baron's family?" Harris frowned.
"Yes." Krestin admitted.
"Okay, be brave enough to admit that you are still my disciple."
Harris pursed his lips and made up his mind, "From today onwards, you are not allowed to see Jennifer again." β
"Teacher!" Kress exclaimed.
"You can also choose to continue to pursue her, but from now on you will no longer be my disciple." Harris is non-negotiable.
"Disciple doesn't dare!"
Kress broke out in a cold sweat, he knew very well that the reason why he was where he is today is because of Harris as a teacher.
"Also." Harris continued: "That girl named Annie, how much you have lost her, you must pay it back double. β
"Yes." Kress did not dare to argue at all.
"What do you think of that?" Harris looked at Colin.
Colin nodded, "Thank you for upholding justice." β
"As I said, I'm the most reasonable person."
Harris said, "Then the second question, why do you think I have no vision?" β
"Before I answer this question, can I ask Your Excellency 'Flame and Thunder', and why do you think that my teacher, 'Storm Guidance', has a problem with your vision?" Colin asked rhetorically.
"I did say that." Harris was undaunted: "And even if Master Roman was standing in front of me, I would still say that." β
"Then, as a disciple of the teacher, I would like to get an explanation." Colin said with a serious face.
"Reasonable!"
Harris was not angry but happy, and his voice turned slightly gentle: "There is a battle of ideas involved. β
"Ideas?" Colin was stunned.
"Since you are a disciple of Master Roman, you must know that Your Excellency 'Storm Guidance' has been working to make magicians less meditative and spell training and more time on elemental research."
"Yes." Colin knew this very well and asked, "Isn't that right?" β
"Of course not."
Harris snapped and said, "We are not the people who were born to be comfortable in the Western Continent, you open your eyes and look at the current Tulum Kingdom!"
"The orc tribes of the south, the pirates of the eastern seaboard, the small nations of the west that are wasteful but always trying to take advantage, not to mention the Oshik Empire that is eyeing the Horseshoe Sea to the north.
"No matter where there is a war, you need the support of a magician, and if you don't have strong strength, will you be sent to death in the past?
"Who wouldn't want to sit at home reading a book and doing experiments if they could, but in that case, who would fight? Who is going to kill the enemy?
"Of course, I also know the importance of elemental research, and I never want to deny this, but everything has a priority, if it is really like what Master Roman advocated, I am afraid that before we can produce the results of our research, the destruction of the country is just around the corner!"
Harris's voice echoed through the empty hall for a long time.
It's the first time Colin has heard someone discuss this issue from a different perspective, and although he doesn't fully agree, he has to admit that Harris's view is not selfish.
He was about to speak, when Harris spoke again:
"However, although I have a different concept from Master Roman, I am not so bad as to slander the master's vision because of this, and it is precisely because of you that I really have such thoughts."
"Me?" Colin was stunned.
"That's right."
Harris said: "I never think that ordinary people who are not awakened are inferior, but everyone should have their own position, without spiritual power, they can also do a lot of things, but becoming a disciple of Roman Sagan is definitely not a good choice, not only is it a waste of resources, but I am afraid that I will also become the target of public criticism." β
Colin sighed secretly, he knew that Harris was not aimed at him, but he had just thought of the battle of ideas from himself.
He probably always hoped that Roman Sagan would train more powerful magicians so that the combat power of the Tulum Kingdom could be further enhanced, but he accepted a disciple at the age of nearly 100, but he was still an ordinary person who had not awakened, and the feeling of disappointment can be imagined.
"Regarding the argument between you and the teacher, as a junior, I dare not comment at will." Colin said.
"In that case, can you now tell me why I'm blind?" Harris hasn't forgotten what started with it.
"Of course." Colin confidently said, "However, I need a little time to prove it." β
"How long?"
"Just today."
"How?"
"It's simple."
After Colin finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Harris, and then walked straight to the semicircular reception desk not far away.
Harris looked at him with a frown.
Behind the half-height table, a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth hid inside, and when she saw this young man who dared to quarrel with His Excellency 'Fire and Thunder' come to her, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak a little bit:
"You...... Hello, excuse me...... How can I help you? β
Colin smiled slightly, turned sideways, put his entire right arm on the counter of the reception desk, and asked the shivering girl:
"Excuse me, can you help me register for this beginner mage exam."
Behind.
Kress was dumbfounded.
Harris's eyes widened, a bright red flashing through his pupils.
