"Well, it's just that the Old Dominators are real. They are ancient and mysterious beings, mysterious creatures beyond the realm of human imagination. Opal said.

Russell complained solemnly:

"Then this old ruler is quite in line with the stereotype, and has gathered the favorite eyeballs and tentacle elements of cloud lovers. Compared to the huge green human-headed statue, the red entity of red streamers and misty flesh, this tentacle with eyeballs is undoubtedly much easier to understand. Even its surname is 'gram'. ”

Why would an old ruler infiltrate the academy and disguise himself as an ordinary girl? What is its purpose? As soon as Russell wanted to ask, he saw Opal staring at him with a serious face:

"Russell, you're the only student in the entire classroom who has seen through the psychosuggestive anomalous meme, probably because you have a very high natural mental resistance. You should remember that in the dream of the entrance exam, you were able to stay awake, remember that you were dreaming, and told Mr. Dragon the secret. ”

Russell nodded, remembering this trait of his own.

He was not surprised by the fact that he was born with a high level of mental resistance.

Because in almost all stories involving supernatural powers, the protagonist has resistance to dreaming, seduction, hypnosis, mind reading, and mind control.

There are various specific reasons, such as strong willpower, the bond of partners, and the blessing of the night......

"When you come into contact with this old ruler in the future, Russell, you must remember a rule." Opal raised a finger with a solemn expression and dragged out his voice, "Never ......"

Russell pricked up his ears to hear what the professor had emphasized about the rules of contact with the old rulers.

"Don't discriminate against Clara just because she's not a human being, but an old ruler." Opal said solemnly.

Russell was stunned for half a second, then reacted immediately and bowed his head slightly:

"Uh, okay."

"In our academy, there are always some non-human students." Speaking of this, Opal's originally locked face also relaxed, turning into a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance:

"In the Academy, even the old rulers have the right to receive an education!"

As he spoke, Opal pointed to a fat boy in the crowd:

"Remember the boy whose pseudonym is 'Seagull'? The one who ate fries in class just now. ”

"Yes." Russell said.

"He's not human either."

"What's that?" Russell asked curiously.

"Seagulls become fine!"

No wonder I like to eat French fries so much, it turns out that the seagull has refined his body. Russell suddenly realized.

Professor Opal said, pointing to a girl in black in the corner of the classroom:

"This countess is also of a non-human race. The red liquid around her waist wasn't a drink, it was blood! ”

"She is ......" Russell realized:

"Vampires?"

"No, mosquitoes are sperm." Professor Opal said.

"Okay."

Russell is no stranger to this kind of spirit, and a lot of related knowledge is recorded in "Happy Learning Magic (Coloring Picture Phonetic Edition)".

All over the world, there are legends of animals, plants, and inanimate beings gaining supernatural powers and unlocking their sanity. The rose and the fox in the fairy tale can talk; Shamans believe in animism; European farmers believed that putting pumpkins or farming tools in the wild would absorb the energy of heaven and earth and convert them into vampire monsters; In the East, they are known as goblins, monsters, charms, spirits, and mourning gods.

For example, the Academy's Black Amber Professor is a cat who has gained extraordinary wisdom and extraordinary powers.

"I have one more question, Professor." Russell asked, "Since it's normal for the Old Dominators to take classes in the Academy, why did you just say so seriously, 'I really didn't expect that?'" ”

"Oh, what I'm trying to say is, I really didn't expect a first-year freshman to be able to see through the psychic hint memes I left on Clara." Opal laughed:

"Although I set up this psychic meme myself, I used a long-lasting, but not very powerful version. But the first and second year students of the elementary school are still impossible to see through logically, but I didn't expect your mental resistance to be so strong. ”

"Did the professor help Clara disguise?" Russell asked.

"Yes, this is a spell I cast to help Clara study and live normally in the academy." Opal nodded slightly, and then said:

"The core course of the third year of the Department of Mind and Illusion is 'memeticism', which can apply anomalous memes on an object and affect other people's perception of that thing. When other people see Clara, they will encounter psychological suggestion, believing that Clara is just an ordinary girl, rationalizing all the unreasonable elements of interaction. ”

Is this the Department of Mind and Illusion? It's really weird.

I don't know if the Necromancy and Life Department will have such a weird and mysterious ability if it is promoted to a higher grade...... Russell's thoughts raced.

Before Russell could ask any further questions, he saw Professor Opal beckoning to the side:

"Clara, Subway, you're here. Just explain it to Russell. ”

Russell turned his head and saw Subway walking over with the tentacle monster's hand:

"Haha, Russell, let me introduce you, this is my old friend I told you about before, Clara-sama."

Russell was slightly surprised, but not too stunned, one of the many possibilities he had foreseen in advance.

The girl that Black Feather likes and the old friends mentioned by Subway are both old students of the Department of Mind and Illusion, and they have all been bullied by the White Wolf Club.

Then, according to the principle of drama, the two are indeed very likely to be the same person!

After a few minutes, several people and the tentacle monster cleared up the misunderstanding.

"I'm very sorry, I'm very sorry, because of my appearance, it has caused so much trouble to Russell." Clara cowered in the corner rather guiltily, a few tentacles rubbing her hands together, very uncomfortable.

"So Subway, how did you get to know an old ruler?" Russell asked.

Subway gesturing with his hands in the air to enter oratory mode:

"Am I not from the Fangshi family on the southeast coast?"

"yes, yes." Russell said.

"My uncle was a fisherman, and every time he went out to sea, he said that he would cast a net on the right side of the boat to catch more fish. Everyone listened to him, and when he cast his net, it was all fish! ”

"Well, Jesus learned from your uncle."

"One day my uncle went to sea again."

"Well, go to sea."

"Cast the net to the right side of the boat, blah, blah, blah, and sink. As soon as the net is closed, guess what you caught? ”

"What's up?"

"Got an old Dominator!"

Russell then learned that Clara, the old ruler, had been caught by Subway's uncle while fishing.

"Anyway, after that, I became friends with Clara, and later suggested that she go to the academy."

Russell turned to Clara:

"You old ruler, why did you come to the Academy of Magic?"

Clara shyly lowered a few tentacles with eyeballs on the top, which should mean bowing her head:

"I'm a transcendent creature, but I don't really have much power. Before my spiritual awakening, I was not as strong as an average adult male. ”

"Indeed." Opal should also reconcile, saying, "There are always people who have the wishful thinking that supernatural beings must be able to fight more than ordinary humans. ”

Russell was not surprised by this, as in various monster stories, classical novels of gods and demons, myths and legends, there are many spirits hacked to death by farmers and monsters killed by hunters.

Clara went on to say why she enrolled in school:

"I have a lot to be desired. For example, as an old day, most of the prayers and prayer symbols of believers I couldn't read. So I need to learn more at the academy and work hard to improve myself. ”

"Since you have many believers, why are you still being bullied by the people of the White Wolf Club? Why not let the believers protect you? Russell asked.

A chain of plot logic was quickly established in his mind-

If Clara hadn't been bullied by the White Wolf Club, Subway wouldn't have teamed up with him during the entrance exam, Black Feather wouldn't have been saved by him, he wouldn't have had conflicts with Shiro, and many episodes wouldn't have happened.

Clara's dozens of big eyes showed a bit of horror:

"However, they are all cultists, how can they be allowed to enter the academy. I've heard that cultists are very dangerous, not mentally normal, and don't know what to do. ”

"You call your own believers cultists?" Russell was a little dazed.

"Yes, I've heard that those who believe in the old rulers are cultists." Clara said tremblingly.

Russell felt that Clara's logic was very clear and there was nothing wrong with it.

As she spoke, Clara pulled out a palm-sized, crystal crystal out of nowhere.

The midday sun shines on the crystal, which seems to be able to refract many different colors.

Staring at the crystals in her tentacles, Clara's dozens of eyes revealed all kinds of tenderness:

"This is a gift from my former believers, and I want to keep it well.

"By the time I graduate from the academy — well, I hope to be in at least my second year before applying for graduation — I have more occult knowledge and can understand the mantras of the Believers calling the Old Dominators. I took this gift with me and went back to my believers.

"Although they are all cultists, there are still many people who are very good, and they may just go astray."

I imagined the beautiful scene when I graduated in the future, and my big eyes seemed to be full of infinite hope for the future.

What a heartwarming scene.

"Stop, this scene is so heartwarming that there is a possibility of triggering the death flag. Hurry up and get it done, or Clara might get stabbed! Russell quickly interrupted Clara, who was immersed in a beautiful fantasy.

This is what Russell has said for many years.

Referring to his abnormal physique, Russell diverted the topic and turned to Professor Opal:

"Professor. There's a strange anomaly in me.

According to Professor Black Amber, this may be related to the power of the astrological and numerological systems, or it may be related to the psychic and illusion systems, as it may affect the subconscious of others. You're a professor in the Department of Mind and Illusion, can you help me take a look? ”

If the professor of the Department of Mind and Illusion can't detect his anomaly, then he can only seek help from the master of the Department of Astrology and Numerology.

"Can you elaborate on your anomaly?" Opal asked.

Russell narrated:

"To put it simply, I feel like I'm the protagonist of a story.

"There are a lot of anomalies, I'll just name one. As long as I am around, the development of fate and the choices of people will tend to break the existing expectations and achieve a dramatic turn. The undefeated god of war is meant to be defeated, prophecies are meant to be misinterpreted, and the alliance that claims to be unbreakable is bound to fall apart.

"Take today's class as an example, when the old man came on stage to speak, everyone thought he was a teacher. But as soon as this expectation was established, the dramatic abruptness and theatrical discovery that followed were shattered – in fact, he was just a senior who had been repeating a grade for decades.

"This kind of misunderstanding based on information asymmetry can theoretically only be born under very extreme conditions, but it happens.

"It's as if there is a power in the dark that lowers everyone's IQ!"

Opal's eyes suddenly became interested:

"Oh, if that's the case, that's interesting. But this may just be a coincidence, are you sure it has something to do with you, Russell-san? ”

"I can't be entirely sure, but there are so many similar coincidences that have been with me since I was a child." Russell said with considerable certainty.

"I'll check it for you." Opal's hand rested lightly on Russell's forehead.
