003, not my race
Knowing Azir's inner thoughts, Karl was silent.
The two of them just watched the night sky quietly.
The leaves rustle in the evening breeze and seem to sigh for the coming parting.
After a long time, Karl said, "You really refused the place that the professor had won for you?" ”
Azir nodded, "yes." ”
Carl was a little sad, but still said, "I don't understand, but I respect your choice." ”
If he could get Kamigawa's identity, he would have been on his knees on the ground and grateful, and this guy seemed to be the first to refuse in hundreds of years.
Why do you insist on going back to that backward place?
From Carl's point of view, he was sick, a disease called stupidity, and it wasn't light.
However, as his best friend in the academy, he also really respects Azir's ideas.
"Mr. Kieran is a hero, he is a pioneer of the new era, and his future achievements will definitely surpass Professor Dinghei! As his student, you have to do a good job, don't embarrass the two of them. ”
Azir said to Karl, "Anyway, I'm sure you'll have your own accomplishments, and no worse than the two of them." ”
Carl didn't know how to respond, so he could only nod: "Hmm." ”
"Hey, you're still panting when you say you're fat? I'm just polite, you're so thick-skinned? Do you dare to nod? ”
Azir looked incredulous.
Carl gave him a roll of his eyes.
Azir smiled: "Just kidding, I really believe in your talent, I believe that it won't be long before Teacher Kieran will help you apply for super genes, right?" At that point, you'll be living beyond your limit and you'll have more time to devote to research. ”
Karl opened his mouth and muttered for a moment before he said, "Actually, the application has already been approved. ”
"So fast?"
Azir was really a little surprised this time, "I thought I would have to wait until I graduated at the earliest, but congratulations!" You see, that's the benefit of being talented! ”
"You could have done it too...... If you're a Kamigawa ......"
It took a lot of effort for Karl to hold this sentence in his heart, because he knew that it was useless to say it, and saying it would only increase his troubles.
"I hope the next time I see you, you won't be a gray-haired old man."
Karl's voice was a little choked, he was a soft man, but he had always been sad about Azir's imminent departure.
Azir smiled, "Don't underestimate what I've learned here, maybe I'll be able to come up with something you didn't expect." ”
The evening breeze blew, and the boy's black hair fluttered in the wind, and his collar swayed similarly, occasionally revealing his solid chest and the golden necklace around his neck.
At the end of the necklace, a small round of gold discs looms inside the clothes.
"Don't be embarrassed Carl, you continue to shine in Kamigawa, I return to Shurima, we all have a bright future."
"You're in such a hurry to go back?"
Azir said: "Time waits for no one, as the royal family of Shurima, my coming-of-age ceremony is to kill a hundred-meter-long python with my bare hands, and if I don't go back, others will think I'm afraid, if I can't do it, I won't be able to inherit the throne." ”
Carl thinks he's joking, after all, Azir isn't injected with super genes, he's not a super soldier, and the Shurima aren't physically fit enough to support their hard-nosed monsters.
"Azir, it's not easy to find you! I went to the auditorium just now, and I was almost torn apart by those girls! ”
There was an exclamation from behind them, and both of them turned their heads, and the man's shiny head reflected the moonlight, like a large jewel on a military uniform.
Although General Jiagu sat in the position of the headmaster and taught and educated people, he was still unwilling to take off the military uniform on his body.
He was already five hundred years old, his face was still resolute, his curly gray beard was on his chest, and his often fierce eyes often frightened the students here.
Because he applied the military to the school, speaking is an order, and there is no room for refutation.
General Jiagu never beats people, but there is always a way to make people scream, once a student did not hand in enough homework within the allotted time, and the general's way of dealing with it was to have everyone except him copy the entire chapter a hundred times.
No one dared to disobey him.
No one wanted to talk to him privately.
So the moment he saw him, Carl was stirred up with a chill: "Hell! How did he get here...... No, I've graduated, calm calm calm calm calm down! ”
Jiagu was polite to Carl, he liked good students, but he still kept a straight face: "Carl, are you the person in charge of the prom?" After such a mess, are you sure you don't want to clean it up? ”
"General...... I'm actually ready to clean the auditorium all night......"
Kagu prefers to be called a general rather than a headmaster, and it's clear that Carl is also a sensible person.
"I'll give you a piece of advice, if you don't want to rebuild the auditorium all night, stop them now!" ”
"Yes!"
Azir only felt a gust of wind across his face, and when he turned his head, Karl was gone, leaving only a puff of smoke and dust on the path.
"Are you looking for something with me? Checkmate. ”
Unlike others, Azir does not dislike Jiagu, except for Dinghei, in Kamigawa Academy, it is this old man with a straight waist who takes the most care of Azir.
And he thinks that the tenacity that Kogu shows, that is, the point that the students hate, is that Kogu is using his own methods to cultivate his own civilized children.
It's harsh, but it works.
Azir, who had been a ruler, admired this kind of soldier very much, but he could see that Jiagu was more suitable for the army than the school.
Facing Azir, the always old-fashioned Jiagu actually showed a gentle smile: "I'm here to congratulate you!" ”
Azir wondered: "Congratulations to me?" For what? ”
"I've heard from Professor Dinghei a long time ago that he applied for a place in Kamigawa's status for you...... In fact, he also came to ask me at that time, and I have no doubt about supporting it! ”
"Welcome to Kamigawa, my child!"
Kogu looked excited.
"Forehead ......"
Azir didn't know what to say, he didn't want to upset the headmaster, after all, the old guy was so enthusiastic.
In fact, Azil's refusal to apply, as Dinghei and Carl know, both have a common trait in their personalities, that is, they are tight-lipped.
So everyone else is in a dark state right now.
"I refused." Azir intends to get straight to the point.
"You don't have to worry about being discriminated against, I can help...... Excuse me, you just said? Jiagu, who was about to talk endlessly, froze in place.
"I've decided to go back to Shurima." "That's what I've always thought. ”
"Why?" Kagu's face was there, "Is someone holding you back?" Is it the son of a Kamigawa noble? You tell me I'm sure I'll be able to keep them out of their minds! ”
"You don't have to be so excited, General, this is my own will." Azir said.
"Why? Do you think Kamigawa is bad? We are the most advanced civilization in the universe! You can live any life you want here. ”
Jiagu really didn't want Azir to leave, and at the same time, he was surprised by Azr's refusal to apply.
This has never happened before!
Regarding Jiagu's attitude, in fact, Azir doesn't have much gratitude in it, he can see it very clearly, although Jiagu and Dinghei are good to him, but the reasons for this are different.
Dinghei was born purely out of the fanaticism and love of a scholar.
And the latter are more like the same kind of people as themselves - they will seek more benefits for their own world.
Azir felt that he was only interested in the results of his own research.
The temperature dropped again, and the skin was painful.
Azir looked at Jiagu: "General, it's impossible for you not to know that even if I obtain the status of Kamigawa, in the eyes of the real Kamigawa people, I am just a pariahs from a lower civilization. ”
