The second hearing will be held seven days later, with the same venue, no different personnel, and no change in routine.

Unexpectedly, the reception teacher who had escaped before came back cheekily, as if he was determined to see Azir's jokes.

Jiagu was still there as if he was a protective apprentice, and he kept outputting at the poor group of mentors and professors, and his saliva was splashing all over the sky.

Only Carl didn't know what was going on, and his favorability for the bald head had increased.

"With the help of the Academy, how is your research going?" Azir was asked.

"It's much faster than before, there are two labs and quantum force fields to help me practice, and I get a lot of new theories." Azir said.

"That means there's no real result."

"This is already very fast compared to the previous progress, you Kamigawa have used hundreds of years to develop super genes, do you want me to complete this technology in a year?"

"Do you think your Ascendant can be compared to the Super Gene?"

"Every researcher has a great deal of confidence in their research, and I'm sure all of you here feel that way."

"But all the knowledge of the academy at present has been summed up by the predecessors, and you should be faster than the predecessors when you stand on the shoulders of giants." It was said.

Later, someone added: "If you were a Kamigawa, your research speed should be ten times faster than it is now." ”

While these people were discussing this topic, Jiagu also looked at Azil with hope in his eyes.

Azir knew in his heart that these people's words were instructed by Kogu, and he still wanted to let himself join Kamigawa.

In this regard, his attitude is very resolute, impossible.

Azir will never turn his back on Shurima.

But before he could speak, the reception teacher before seemed to be waiting for an opportunity, only to hear him sneer and say: "Yes, it's a pity that the best students of this year can't get a place, but it's normal, the results of the academy don't represent everything, and they haven't contributed to Kamigawa, this kind of honor is not something that anyone can have!" ”

Everyone present, except for Kieran, agreed, and each of them looked at Azir with regret in their eyes, and almost everyone in the academy knew that the protagonist of this hearing was Professor Dinghei's favorite student.

Even if Kiran was by his side, Karl couldn't help but sigh, he didn't have the illusion that his friendship with Azir continued in Kamigawa, and they could discuss the same topic for months or even half a year.

But Azir's feelings for Shurima are too deep, and perhaps the next time they meet, Karl can only tell the past to the tombstone standing on the ground.

Just when everyone felt sorry for Azir, he suddenly spoke: "I'm sorry for this, especially Professor Dinghei, who tried his best to even use his connections to help me get a place, but I refused...... I'm sorry, but I can't leave my world. ”

“……”

“……”

“……”

Hiss~

At first, there was silence, and then there was a gasp in the audience.

What did he say? Rejected the application? ”

"Or is it Professor Dinghei's application?"

He refused! What kind of brain is this? My God, none of Proxima Centauri's asses are so stubborn! ”

In the midst of a burst of exclamations, the receptionist shrank into the corner with his head in his hands, and then took advantage of no one's attention to run away quickly, and if he had a tail, it must have been caught between them.

"Quiet! Be quiet! Ladies and gentlemen, please take your mind back, the purpose of the hearing is to discuss the issue of Azir of the 236th class of Kamigawa Academy, please be serious, we are deciding his future. ”

Kieran banged on the table and brought the conversation back with a loud voice.

But at this time, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Azir, it was a very complicated look, puzzled, mocking, and mixed with admiration.

After lunch, Azir didn't want to be stuffy on the lab table anymore, he wanted to rest, so he stayed in bed until the evening.

In the dead of night, Azir was worried again.

Jiagu was determined to want his Ascendant technique, but Kieran's attitude was obviously disdainful, but he had to help Jiagu obtain the Ascendant from his own hands.

The most troublesome thing about this is that they don't allow Shurima to have this technology.

Since it was a cloudy day, there was no light in the night sky, and Azir looked at the dark universe, and without the guidance of light, he could not find the direction of his hometown.

If conditions allow, he really wants to grab a spaceship and return to Shurima now.

"But it's still good, the information is better than before......" Azir said, looking at the gold disc.

In his hand, the disc shimmered brightly, and the light was shaped like a miniature sun.

"Azir!" Someone knocked on the door with a suppressed voice.

"Carl?" Azir heard him, and he opened the door for Carl, and the blonde hair was dazzling even in the night, "Why are you here again?" ”

"Come with me!" Karl looked outside, then turned back to Azir.

"Where are you going?" Azir wondered.

"Back to your Shurima, I stole a spaceship that can send you back!" Carr said.

"This ......"

"What are you hesitating about? You don't want to go back? Karl looked at Azir froze in place, a little anxious.

"Of course I want to go back, but won't it hurt you?" Azir was worried.

"How can it be involved? My father was the Archon of Kamigawa, my teacher was the great practitioner Kieran, and my teacher was Dinghei! ”

"Okay...... Where's the ship? ”

"Follow me!"

Two little rat-like figures shuttle through the night.

Azir felt that the journey had been too smooth and asked, "What about the robots that work as security guards in the academy?" I remember that during this time I was set to monitor status. ”

"I hacked into the security system and changed your state to your usual state, and now you're safe."

Carl added, "Even if you go back to Shurima, you don't have to worry about retribution, I have probed from my father, and I don't really care about this matter, it is completely the school's own opinion, as long as you can return to Shurima safely, they can't do anything about you." ”

"Thanks, Carl." Azir said from the bottom of his heart.

"This is what friends should do, I can't see you being wronged in vain." Carl said with a smile.

After that, both of them fell silent, and Azir wanted to say something, but looking at his friend's back, he only opened his mouth, unable to say anything, and an unspeakable bitterness diffused in his heart.

Once upon a time, he and Zelas were so inseparable, but in the end, the two parted ways.

I really hope that Carl and Carl won't end up in the same way......

……

On the way to the dock, a figure stood in the center, blocking their way.

"Teacher Kieran......"

When he saw who was coming, Carl was left shivering.

"This matter was my idea, and it has nothing to do with Carl." Azir stood in front of Karl.

Kiran remained silent, then turned sideways, revealing the path he was blocking.

Azir and Karl looked at each other, and then Karl walked up to Kieran and bowed deeply: "Thank you!" ”

But just as he tried to carry Azir forward, a wave of energy suddenly hit his brain, and Karl felt black in front of him and fell to the ground.

Kiran helped the unconscious Karl aside, then said to Azir, "Do you know why I agreed to help Jiagu? ”

Azir looked at him vigilantly, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that Carl really just fainted, "I believe that Mr. Kieran didn't do this because he fell in love with the Ascendant, your skills are several generations ahead of mine." ”

"The Kamigawa civilization is about to be destroyed."

Kiran calmly uttered words that made Azir's hairs stand on end.

"It's true, the sun of our main star is no longer good, and now there is a discussion there about whether to move away from the original galaxy in its entirety, or to create a new sun."

Kieran looked Azir in the eye so that he could understand that he was not lying, "But in my experience, we do not interfere with the natural laws of the universe, so we will probably escape from Kamigawa in the end, there are not many of us, and it will be difficult to organize again after being dispersed in the universe." ”

"But you're tech big enough to settle anywhere!" Azir didn't understand.

"We live in an era where everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, everyone is a casual character, only knows pleasure, no one thinks about the future anymore, and if they have the ability, they will only go their separate ways." Kieran said.

"But...... What does this have to do with me? Do you expect a technology that hasn't been fully built to save Kamigawa? ”

Azir also felt ridiculous, he subconsciously associated the two things together, and when he thought of them, he only felt unreasonable.

Kiran said: "You and I both know that is unrealistic, when I was exploring the unknown star field, I was saved by Jiagu, so I want to help him, just as, in the last days, return him a favor, give him a return for this obsession, this poor old man has no spiritual support, and the whole era doesn't want him anymore." ”

He stared at Azir's chest, "I can see that there is a loophole in the information you handed in, and you need a device to complete the Ascendant, hand it over, and I can release you back to Shurima." ”

Azir clenched his fists and looked at Kiran coldly, the golden disc was created by him using Kamigawa's technology and the resources he had worked so hard to gather, and if he handed it over now, it would mean that all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Because Shurima really can't support his research!

Can't be recreated.

So Azir will never hand it over!

Kieran seemed to see through his thoughts: "Kamigawa Academy really can't use the army to go to your hometown, but it can revoke the certification of the students, and we really can't do anything about you." ”

He looked at Carl again, "But what about Carl?" What he did today could be considered a violation, and the academy had a legitimate reason to deny all of his projects, do you think a tainted student would still be accepted into Kamigawa? His father was indeed an archon, but would he like a son who discredited his political career? Maybe you will also give the opponent a handle because of this, and if you are not careful, you will never recover. ”

"You...... He's your student! Azir shivered with anger.

"There's not much time, Azir, you'd better give me an answer before dawn." Kieran's tone was untouched.

The summer night at Kamigawa Academy wasn't long, and there was already a glimmer of light on the horizon at this time.

Azir looked at Karl who had fallen to the ground, and he couldn't help but think of the pact he had made with Zelas in his previous life, and now, he once again had to decide between his friend and his own world.
