Volume 1: The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 135: Week 3

"Hair!?" Riel shuddered when he heard the word, and for some reason, the word just made him feel uncomfortable, "You mean...... He's collecting our hair?!"

"That's right. ”

"What does he want this for......" Riel couldn't believe it. However, when he carefully compared the two pillows again, he realized that Alan was right...... Compared to Allen's pillow, although his pillow does have some dandruff, it is clean, and there is not even a single hair.

"It also makes sense why he was seen holding something in his hand twice, but when he opened it, there was nothing...... "because this kind of thing doesn't make a sound even if it falls to the ground, and it's not easy to see." ”

"But......" Riel still looked confused, "it's still that question, what does he want our hair for......"

"I don't know......," said Allen, who pondered for a long time, "but I don't think it's that he wants the hair to be useful, but someone else." ”

"You mean, he was commanded?"

"Yes. Alan began to habitually bite his lip again, "My gut tells me that the money he uses to buy grapes today is probably the commission he collects. ”

"Who is it?" asked Riel.

"It's not clear yet...... But judging by the people we're provoking right now, it's probably one or more of Floyd Stewart, Zach Bilber, and Kevin Temnabo. ”

"That'...... What about Frey?"

"I don't think it's going to be him...... He just doesn't like me, and there's no reason why he can't get along with you. ”

"Not necessarily...... If the two of you really fight one day, I'll definitely be on your side, so it's impossible to mark me as a thorn in the side in advance. ”

"Hmm...... Probably......" Alan thought for a moment, feeling that Rare's words were not completely unreasonable.

The two of them each bowed their heads in thought.

"In short, it's better for us to be careful in the next period of time...... It's a bit weird to use our hair. After a while, Alan said.

"Well, I'll be keeping an eye on him from tomorrow onwards, and I'll never let him get any closer to us again. ”

At this time, the bell struck seven o'clock, and Riel reflexively screamed when he heard the bell.

"Let's go eat. Alan glanced out the window and saw that the rain was still falling, "I'm going to get an early break today, and I'll have to go to Professor Stubone early tomorrow morning." ”

"What are you looking for him?"

"About my major, of course. Alan frowned, "The two-week study cycle is over, but there is no major for me...... I'll have to talk to him about what to do next. ”

"Hmm...... You'll have to discuss it...... "I also feel like if you go to class every day like you do now, sooner or later your body will not be able to take it." ”

"That's right...... But that's not the point......," Alan said worriedly, "mainly because I don't have a major, so how will my score be calculated when it comes to the promotion exam this academic year?"

The two chatted as they went to the restaurant for dinner.

After returning to the room, Alan just briefly watched the lecture for tomorrow, and then went to bed early.

But what made him a little depressed was that maybe he had been drenched in the rain for too long today, and as soon as he lay down, he felt some cold symptoms, and began to have a runny nose and some dizziness, which made him very upset, and he tossed and turned in bed for a long time before falling asleep.

When he woke up the next day, he found that the rain had stopped, and although he still couldn't see the sun, it didn't look like it was going to rain again.

It's past half past seven. After a good night's sleep, he felt better, at least he no longer had the same snot as he did last night, and he no longer felt dizzy, so he dismissed the idea of going to Professor Watson to prescribe medicine.

He looked at Riel, who was still sleeping as heavy as ever, so he didn't wake him up, went to breakfast by himself, and then came to the general hall.

Cynthia had already arrived, still the same as before, arms folded to her chest and her back against the wall, looking boredly at the rest of the room, and from time to time with a look of disgust.

Of course, no one dared to approach within a two-meter radius around her.

"Good morning. Alan went over to say hello.

"You're too late. Cynthia said, "I had something I wanted to tell you. ”

"Uh...... Sorry, I had a cold last night, so I slept a little longer. ”

"Well, cold, sick...... It's also 'unfortunate,' isn't it?"

"Uh...... It's not 'unfortunate'...... I think this is a bit unlucky at best, after all, it didn't have any serious consequences......"

"That'...... If that stone does hit you, can it be called 'unlucky'?" Cynthia asked again.

Alan was stunned for a moment, realizing that Cynthia seemed to have something to say today.

"Did you find anything again?" Alan asked quickly, "about what has happened to us lately, uh, what you call 'misfortune'?"

"Yes, when I got back to my room, I looked up a little bit of information, but I unexpectedly found something interesting. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Alan.

"It's about these 'misfortunes'...... But I'm afraid it will take a while to make this clear......" Cynthia said, then she looked at the door of the hall and said, "I'll talk to you after class, I suggest you go and get your business done first." ”

Alan looked back and realized that it was Professor Stubourne who had arrived.

He arrived unusually early today, as if the rain had stopped and made his whole body feel better.

"Good morning, Professor. Alan hurried over.

"Oh...... What's the matter, Putner?" Professor Staebone asked as he walked over the podium.

"Well, it's about my major......" Alan was a little nervous, and his mind was up and down as he spoke, "Although you gave me two weeks to find the right magic department for me, it's strange that none of the five elemental magics, as well as the space-time and medical magic, can be used......"

"Oh?" Professor Stubourne tilted his head to look at him, a little disbelieving, "but everyone's magical nature is nothing more than this...... Is it that you're not taking it seriously, or that you're not working at all?"

"No, no...... I've really done my best......" Alan hastened to explain.

"But...... Whether you've really tried your best or not, the current situation is that you don't find a major that suits you, and you won't be able to calculate your score when it's time for the advancement exam...... You know what I mean?" Professor Stubone said, after a moment's thought.

"Uh......" Alan was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Professor Stubone waited for him for a moment, and seeing that he still looked helpless, he shrugged his shoulders and prepared to end the topic: "It's a pity, but it only means that you don't belong here...... Then according to the regulations, I have to ask you to ......"

Alan was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, because he already realized what Professor Stubone was going to say next: "Then I have to ask you to leave this school." ”

But before Professor Stubone could finish his sentence, his expression changed. Then Alan heard Cynthia's voice suddenly come from behind him: "Professor, since the rules can be made, they can be modified, right?"

"Yes, yes...... The rule is that the dead are alive......" When Professor Stubone heard Cynthia say this, he quickly changed his words, and his face was full of smiles: "According to the rules, you should have packed your bags and gone home immediately...... Well...... However, given that you have no previous disciplinary record and are doing well in class...... Well...... So I decided that you should be treated especially in this special situation......"

Alan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmm...... Let me think about it......" Professor Stubone lowered his head and began pacing back and forth. After a long while, he finally looked up and said, "This is it...... Except for the general department exam and the enchantment system exam, everyone basically has to take two courses, and when the promotion exam, the full score for the major course is a theoretical knowledge test plus a practical application test for a total of 200 points, and the minor course only has a theory test, so each person needs to take a total of three exams by the end of the academic year, with a total of 300 points. Since you can't take the practical application test, considering that the practical application test is much more difficult than the theory test, you will be assigned to take six theoretical knowledge tests, each based on a total score of 50 points, for a total of 300 points...... What do you think?"

Alan couldn't help but sigh when he heard the news, because compared to the seven courses he had expected before, the plan proposed by Professor Stubone was just one less class, and he basically had to go to class every day, hand in homework every day, and maintain a high level of concentration every day. He also hopes to squeeze out more time to watch the clouds.

But on second thought, it seemed like the best outcome was better than letting him go home.

"It's the best I can come up with, and it's unfair to the other students just to do that......" Professor Stubone said after seeing that he didn't react, "if you can't even accept this......"

"Okay, that's it. Before Alan could speak, Cynthia had already agreed for him, "Thank you, Professor." With that, she grabbed Allen's arm, turned around and left.

"Alas...... I didn't expect it to be a day without stopping......" As soon as the two of them returned to their original place, Alan sighed and said.

"You should be glad that you only need to take the theoretical knowledge test to pass the promotion exam, which is comparable to cheating, and I didn't even dare to think of such a good thing before. Cynthia said.

"But I don't have the talent of you, and I learn everything fast...... I can only take my time little by little......"

"It's just six courses, and that's one more than me. Cynthia interrupted, "And you know, only two of my five classes count grades, and the other three are purely voluntary for me." ”

"Okay......" Alan felt much more balanced when he heard this, and said, "Thank you anyway...... Thanks to you being right behind me, I might have to go home......"

"Not exactly. Cynthia smiled and said, "I followed because I knew that if I didn't come, you would probably have to go home according to the rules...... Because from what I know about him, he's definitely too lazy to spend time with you fourth-floor students. ”
