Chapter 33: Spoiling the Situation
In fact, when she heard the leading teenager repeat what he had said before, Lizzie had already guessed that the roar that dragged her back from thinking to reality was Oscar. The reason why he didn't react at that time was because the anger made Oscar's voice change.
The two only have a one-sided relationship, so she naturally didn't have a chance to see Oscar's temper. When they used to work together in the mountains, his expression always seemed submissive, as if he had no opinions. Whether it was Lizzie or Curt making fun of him, he didn't explicitly express his displeasure
And his current appearance is not the same as then.
His face was red, his ears were red, and his teeth were clenched. The pupils contracted, and the fists unconsciously clenched... It was clear that before Lizzie heard the voice, he had already had a big fight with the teenagers on the other side. The present situation is only a brief tranquility before the dispute between the two sides has reached a certain distance.
It's just that in this unbreathable calm, there is actually a greater instability brewing.
After all, Oscar is young and vigorous, and he can't stand up with a little sarcasm from the other side. Looking at his tightly clenched fists, it felt like if it weren't for the boy behind him who grabbed his hand, he might have rushed up and pinned the boy who was sneering at him to the ground and beat him.
It was then that Lizzie noticed that she seemed to have seen the cowering teenager standing behind Oscar—one of several apprentices in the same regular car with her this morning. I remember that he was the worst of the group of apprentices who were caught in the rain, and it was not his turn to dry his clothes in the end.
He was thin and slender, giving the impression of being like one of those legends of the old days that always played the role of a sorcerer. The figure is slender, and the eyes are also dodgy, and a beautiful light yellow head is simply tied up to prevent it from falling loosely on the head.
No matter how you look at it, this kind of person is a typical example of being bullied. Lizzie saw a visible bruise on his face, and several signs of scorched clothing on his body, which should have been left on him before the altercation, perhaps the trigger for their altercation.
"Hehehe, isn't what I'm talking about?"
Seeing Oscar bow his head and be silent, the young man who led the way opposite spoke provocatively again.
"You people are only able to enter the academy with a little 'talent', and you don't know that you should be grateful for the display of modern spells, and you don't even have the least self-knowledge. His self-righteous tone was unpleasant, "It's just that you are willing to fall, and now you want to hinder your friends from further on the path of magic research, what is your intention?"
"What intentions?"
Oscar seemed to be enraged by his words, and the anger that he had been trying to suppress came up again.
"I also want to ask you what is your intention in directly applying this unstable spell to people? If I hadn't stopped you from continuing, I don't know what would happen next!"
Driven by anger, even the words he used to speak became rude, and he almost scolded: "Danfoss, do you want to kill Hepburn!"
And the apprentice called Danvers just spread his hands, as if to express his disdain for Oscar: "Ho, look at your virtue, you don't have any cultivation as a sorcerer." I really don't know how you got through the guò test, just because of your talent?"
Then he took a deep breath and raised his voice, "That's why I said that you inferior people are not qualified to learn spells. Look at Hepburn, whom you are 'defending' now, who voluntarily risked his life for the sake of our research, and this is the attitude that a self-aware person should have. ”
The unreasonable words came out of his mouth as if they were taken for granted, and one couldn't help but think that what he said before was not out of his own malice. He would only say such brazen things because of his natural arrogance, and this excess of self-esteem led him to lash out at Oscar's actions.
"What are you talking about!"
However, Oscar, who has been constantly criticized, has clearly seen his arrogance as malicious. Under the provocation of these people in turn, his anger finally could not be suppressed. With a loud roar, he shook off the emaciated boy who had grabbed his hand, and was about to rush over and punch the self-righteous Danvers.
Danfoss was completely unmoved, he didn't even pick up the staff in his hand to block, and looked at the angry Oscar, he said in a surprisingly calm tone: "Look, if you don't agree with each other, you will resort to violence, and a person like you is really only worthy of being a third-rate mercenary." ”
"Hehe, who are you going to show with a scary face, isn't it trying to hit us?"
"Don't talk about that, Oscar is a registered mercenary, what if he pulls out his weapon and stabs you-ah, I forgot that he's just a part-time mercenary, and part-time mercenaries can't carry their weapons with them when they're not on a mission, right? ”
The four apprentices standing behind Danvers were as unmoved as he was, oblivious to his angry fist. They stood there "waiting" for Oscar, while also bursting with cynicism from time to time. Although their expressions could not be seen in the direction where Lizzie was, it was only a few cool words that could make Oscar angry, and they thought that their faces were full of unpleasant sneers at this time.
"Oscar, calm down!"
Although the boy standing behind Oscar seemed to be helpless, he reacted quickly. After being thrown away by Oscar, he staggered two steps because of his unstable center of gravity, but soon rushed forward to grab Oscar, this time he learned wisely, and it was not Oscar's wrist that he was holding, but his shoulder, which was not strong.
"Hepburn, you let go of me quickly!" Oscar's anger did not subside in the slightest, but became more and more obvious under the provocation of these people, "These people can't spit out ivory, they only know how to chew their tongues." And all of them are going to go up to the sky, and I'll teach them what's wrong!"
"Calm down, Oscar! They're just talking a little ugly, you can't just beat them for that!" the skinny boy struggled to hold Oscar back, "and according to the school rules, Chapter 6, Article 7, you will be expelled from the fight! If you hit them unilaterally, you will be in trouble!"
He gives people the impression of being weak and deceitful, and even persuading the angry Oscar to use rules to suppress him, this way of thinking makes Lizzie feel funny. But at least his head is calm enough to see the current situation more clearly than Oscar, who intends to solve the problem by force.
"It's just that there's nothing wrong with my words! Look at the faces of these bastards! They don't know what it means to respect others without being taught a lesson!"
It's just that Oscar is still obsessed, and a pair of angry eyes are staring at the senior apprentices in front of him. His teeth chattered, and he looked eager to pounce on them now, and he looked at these arrogant people who looked at ordinary students with prejudiced eyes.
"Are you an idiot? Danfoss just smiled at Oscar's anger, "Or do you think you can't think of a more powerful means than to use violence to oppress others?" I guess the same, I shouldn't have expected too much from you in the first place." After all, that's why you chose to tarnish the dignity of a mage and join the mercenaries. ”
"You guy!"
"Hey, hey, isn't that strict as you say?" Don't you think you're exaggerating?" When Oscar opened her mouth to retort, Lizzie seemed to have seen enough of the excitement, she pushed open the classroom door and walked in, while casually refuting Danfoss's sarcasm about Oscar.
"Also, this guy who doesn't grow up is an idiot indeed, right. She glanced at Oscar, who was stunned by her sudden appearance, then looked at Danvers and said, "But don't you think that if you call a guy who is obviously an idiot an idiot, that person is also an idiot?"
Her sudden appearance disturbed the situation that was unfolding, and for a moment everyone's eyes in the classroom were focused on her, causing her body to shake for a moment. However, she quickly relented, and immediately swept everyone present one by one with a non-warm gaze
The expressions of the people who came back were very funny - at first they seemed panicked by the intervention of an unexpected person, but after seeing that it was only an inconspicuous girl who came in, they quickly calmed down.
There is no doubt that they did not take her into account.
"Who are you?"
Danfoss was unexpectedly calm, and it was impossible to see that he was still arguing with Oscar about his beliefs. He didn't seem to care about Lizzie's presence, nor did he react to her taunts with guns and sticks.
"Lizzie Leonster. Lizzie stared into Danvers' eyes and replied, "It's just an ordinary apprentice who just transferred to the Academy's Theory Department today." ”
"Leinster, hmph, why are the theory students here?"
His eyebrows furrowed as he moved his gaze to the badge on Lizzie's chest, and then he stared at Lizzie as if he were paying attention to everything.
"It's just a casual walk through, but it's you, seniors, what are you doing here?"
In addition to the conspicuous staff and tiara, around Danfoss's neck hung a polished round amulet with a star-shaped pattern carved on it. This is a simple spell that uses the archaic method to protect the caster, and is usually used during risky spell trials.
"Isn't there something illegal here?"
Looking at his full outfit, you can almost guess that Danvers is leading the apprentices to perform some kind of ancient spell-driven Rubik's cube in this classroom. An accident occurred during the casting process, and this accident was one of the reasons why Oscar was so angry.
"If I'm not mistaken, according to Article 3 of the Regulations on the Administration of Ancient Spells, anyone who studies ancient spells needs to be reported and studied under strict management. At the same time, the second supplement also stipulates that spells that have not been tested cannot be used directly on people. ”
The law can only limit those who obey it, and it is enough to deal with these few apprentices.
