Chapter 20: To Be Her Squire?

Emma finished telling her story, and she wanted to hear Robben's experience, but what story did Robben have to tell? He only remembered this world for three years, and there was no story at allβ€”what happened in the forest before was a topic that could not be touched. So he could only pick out a few interesting adventures and share them with Emma, a young witch who is not deeply involved in the world. Due to her extreme lack of social experience, she listened with relish.

"Emma, I want to go to Crist Academy, do I need to take any exams?" After talking about the story of the two, Robben changed the conversation.

"Huh? Do you want to go to school? That's great! Emma almost jumped out of her chair with joy.

She especially wanted Robben to go to Crist Academy with her, but she didn't know if Robben would like to go with her. The little witch had already decided to wait for the task to be completed, and he actually took the initiative to say that he wanted to go to her school, how could this not make her happy?

In fact, Emma is really worried, Crist Academy is a well-known magic school on the mainland, slightly better than Harvard University in Robben's previous life, no one can refuse the temptation to go to school there - there are also big guys who have received admission letters of the same level.

"You can join the school as my knight squire." Emma didn't even think about it, so she showed Robben a way.

Mages have always been a shortcoming in their melee ability, so the school stipulates that each wizard can have a squire knight to act as a guard (meat shield). Emma's spot is still vacant and can be used for Robben.

Although the knight course in the Crist Academy is not as good as the Ryan Military Academy, which specializes in training warriors, it is also at the first-class level in the continent, and the number of a squire knight is still very valuable, and it is priceless at all. Emma's willingness to give up such a place shows her sincerity.

Robben groaned slightly, not very much wanting to go this way. Emma's offer was tempting, but he wanted to learn magic more.

"You want to be a magician?" Emma's big amber eyes twitched twice, "But magicians need talent, do you have magic?" You can't be a wizard without magic. ”

Robben really has it!

After showing Emma a little bit of her newly awakened magic, Emma was stunned, she didn't expect Robben to have the talent to be a magician. However, she is not very strange, because the awakening of wizard talents is relatively random. While most wizards show signs of magic around the age of ten, there are a few who are late bloomers. Even people in their twenties who drank a meal of wine and got drunk and then awakened their magic powers, and it is not uncommon for people like Robben to awaken their magic after a battle.

"But I still recommend that you come first to be my squire knight." Emma had a strange attachment to making Robben her knight - and it was a little selfish on her part: if Robben became her squire, she would be able to take lessons with him in the right way.

Robben: ?

The little witch began to give him patient explanations.

There are nine grades in Crist School, three stages, namely: Lower Grade, Intermediate Grade and Upper Grade, and Emma is currently in a state where she is about to graduate from the lower grade and move to the middle grade. If Robben goes to apply for Crist's Academy at this time, even if he has Emma's letter of recommendation, he will be able to get in, and Robben, who has zero magic foundation, will have to start reading from the preparatory department. After completing the preparatory department, you can only enter the first year of the school if you pass the entrance examination. This is just the beginning, and there are a lot of credits and exams to pass before you can move on to middle grade. In this process, if you unfortunately fail a few subjects, there is still a risk of being dropped out.

But if he becomes Emma's squire knight, it will be different, he can use this identity to follow Emma to audit those middle-grade courses, secretly take credits, and when the credits are enough, he can directly change jobs, which is a shortcut.

Robben has no magical foundation? Emma said she could tutor him in his studies.

This is also a little bit of caution on her part, just to get along with Robbendo for a while.

"It's not that I'm mean, but are you sure you can teach me well?" The scene of Robben Emma summoning a large number of fish with a flying spell came to his mind, and he instantly doubted the quality of the little girl's teaching.

This girl herself seems to be a scumbag, can she really take me?

Emma: ( Μ„Ο‰ Μ„; )

Emma's silence was so deafening that Robben couldn't hold it back.

"I'm still honestly studying in the preparatory department, anyway, it's all in the same school, when do you want to come to play with me, just come to me directly." Robben finally decided not to take the shortcut of a rich woman, but to take one step at a time. Because you really can't take shortcuts when learning this kind of thing.

"Okay." Emma was a little disappointed that she couldn't take the same course as Robben, but when she thought about it, the two were still in the same school after all, and she was happy again.

The two chatted for a while, and the conversation gradually shifted to hobbies.

[Tell her quickly, you are good at playing the harmonica!] 】

"I can play the harmonica, do you want to hear me play you a tune?"

"Okay!" Emma straightened her seat, looked at Robben earnestly, and waited for him to start performing.

[Bastard, am I talking about this harmonica?!] 】

Robben: ???

There seems to be some kind of black language that he doesn't understand.

But it didn't matter, he pulled out his piano and played a Scarborough bazaar for Emma.

"Yummy!" Emma's eyes seemed to have a sparkle of stars: "It's a tune I've never heard before!" ”

"This song is called Scarborough Bazaar, and it is a very classic folk song, I will sing it to you if you want to hear it."

Emma nodded repeatedly, seeing that she was so interested, Robben also became serious, he cleared his throat and began to sing.

Are you on your way to Scarborough Market?

parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;

Please say hello to one of the girls there on my behalf,

She used to be my true love;

Ask her to make me a sackcloth garment,

There are no stitches on it, no needle and thread, so that she can be my true love;

Ask her to find me an acre of land, between the sea and the shore, so that she may be my true love;

Ask her to harvest with a leather sickle and tie the harvested heather into a bunch so that she can be my true love!

Emma was fascinated by the sound of the song in the night sky by the lake, and when the last note also dissipated into the night sky, she applauded excitedly.

"I don't understand it, but I listen to it!"

Robben was about to explain the lyrics to her, but he noticed a shiny creature landing not far from the camp, seemingly attracted by his singing.
