Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 85 Christine Fran
Alan didn't know why, he really thought that short hair was very suitable for Alyssa, it looked refreshing, and after the hair was cut short, it made her look a lot taller.
But those words are just hard to say...... And after finishing speaking, his face was still slightly hot.
"Thank you. Alyssa's head lifted slightly, but her eyes were a little evasive, "I just thought it might be easier for me to practice magic with my hair cut shorter...... Well...... You should know that wind elemental magic can easily blow your hair out when you practice......"
"That's true......" Alan nodded, but vaguely felt as if he had heard this answer somewhere. He frowned and thought for a moment before remembering that it was the morning when Cynthia had said something similar.
But as soon as Alan reacted, Alyssa whispered again: "And you didn't say that you prefer such a neat look......"
Allen's heart tightened, and then he realized that it was related to the words he had inadvertently praised Cynthia in the morning.
"Uh......" Hearing this, Allen's face that had just cooled down began to heat again, and his heartbeat was much faster, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
However, Riel hesitated for a moment before speaking: "I think...... Or is the old long hair more suitable for you......"
Surprised, Alyssa looks at Rare, only to find that he is turning his head to the side and can't see his expression. She just opened her mouth and didn't answer.
The three of them just looked to the side, silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. There seemed to be a sweet smell in the air, with a hint of bitterness.
"Hey, it's time to go into the classroom. Cynthia's voice came from behind Allen. I don't know when she has already walked over, and patted Allen on the shoulder and said, "This room is quite high today, come with me." ”
"Ah...... Well, where, in which classroom?" Alan was startled, sobering up from the atmosphere just now.
"Room 206. Without waiting for Cynthia to answer, Alyssa preemptively spoke. She looked at Cynthia with hostility in her eyes, and her tone was not very friendly: "Thank you for your kindness, but we can find our way ourselves!"
"Huh. The corners of Cynthia's mouth twitched slightly, with a hint of contempt. Although Alyssa's tone was very impulsive, she didn't seem to mind, and just said lightly: "Then let it be." Then he turned and walked towards one of the stairs.
Many students are also walking up the stairs one after another. There are two other sections on the other staircase, which appear to be seniors.
The stairs here are so narrow that only two people can walk side by side at a time. Not knowing whether Alyssa hated crowds or wanted to stay away from Cynthia, she pulled Alan and waited for a while longer, until Cynthia was no longer visible, and then followed the crowd upstairs.
However, when they walked into the classroom, they found that there were basically no empty seats, only a few around Cynthia were still empty.
Eren immediately understood what was going on, she must have used the same method as when she waited for him in the library.
Alyssa, of course, didn't know what was going on, and stood in the doorway for a long time, until she was sure that there was really no other place to sit, and then reluctantly walked to one of the seats farthest from Cynthia and sat down.
Alan almost burst out laughing when he saw this. Because he knew that Cynthia couldn't fail to see how much Alyssa hated her, and she just deliberately wanted to use this method to upset Alyssa.
"I didn't expect to see from her that she was quite mature and stable before, but in fact, there were times when she was so childish. Alan thought as he sat down behind Alyssa and to Cynthia's right, while Rare sat next to Alyssa.
He opened his textbook and wanted to read it for a while, but the classroom was always in chaos before class, and he couldn't calm down.
It wasn't until the clock struck three o'clock and there was a clear sound of crutches at the door, that everyone realized that it must be Professor Fran who had come, and then they consciously silenced themselves.
Appearing at the door was an old lady who looked to be at least sixty years old, with all white hair and a wrinkled face. She wore a small floral hat on her head, but it did not cover her gray hair, a crimson shawl draped over her shoulders, which did not look like a good match for the black robes on her body, a pair of borderless glasses, squinting, staring carefully at the ground, as if she could not see the way clearly, she was bent over, two books in her creaky nest, a cup full of water in one hand, and an old crutch in the other.
But the strange thing is that she walked to the door and did not rush in, but knocked on the door with a stick, and asked in a trembling voice, "Excuse me...... Is this room 206?"
"No! this is 306, you're at the wrong door!" A few of the tricksters sitting in the doorway saw that it was an old lady who couldn't even read the house number, and they laughed and tried to make fun of her.
"Oh, I did go up the wrong stairs again...... Why do you have to go wrong several times a year, it's too sick......" The old lady muttered and turned around to go downstairs.
There was a burst of laughter in the classroom.
"Wait a minute!" Alyssa suddenly stood up, rushed to the door in three steps and two steps, and asked, "Excuse me, are you Professor Christine Fran?"
"That's right, it's me. The old lady turned around tremblingly, and it seemed that she was tired from climbing such a high staircase.
"You're not mistaken, this is room 206. Alyssa took the book from Professor Fran's hand as she spoke, and carried her into the classroom, "Please come in...... I think they were just joking, and they didn't mean anything else. ”
Professor Fran pulled out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, glaring angrily at the mischievous ones as he walked inside. Fortunately, Alyssa's words worked, and Professor Fran only glared at them dissatisfied.
The classroom fell silent for a moment, and the few josters buried their heads in shame and were about to burrow under their desks. They realized that their joke just now was a bit excessive, and if it weren't for Alyssa's words to exonerate them, it is estimated that they would have been deducted points if they couldn't run.
Alyssa helped her to sit down in her chair and returned to her seat, Professor Fran smiled and nodded at her, and patted her hand in gratitude.
"I'm Christine Fran, and I'm going to teach you everything you need to know about the wind elemental magic class for the next three years. Professor Fran sat down in his chair for a long time before he said slowly, "During my lecture, please be quiet, listen carefully to every word I say, and take notes." Each class will set aside some time for you to practice, and if there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me during that time. ”
Perhaps because of her advanced age, the old lady rested for a while before she continued: "Another point, I don't like to use grade rewards and punishments to restrain students...... I think that as long as the goal is to become a good magician, children will learn consciously and naturally whenever and wherever they want, and learning should be a habit for them, not for the purpose of getting extra points. So don't expect to get much extra points out of my classes, because the number of questions I ask is limited. ”
"Oh......" A sigh of disappointment sounded in the classroom, and it seemed that many people were stimulated by Alyssa's full score in the morning, and they wanted to perform well in the afternoon.
"But I have another habit, which is that I value character over talent. Professor Fran ignored them, took a sip of water, slowly stood up, and continued, "What is the most important thing for a magician? is it talent, cultivation, or origin? No, no, it is not...... In my eyes, the most important thing for a magician is selflessness, dedication, zeal, sincerity, and all noble qualities that you should learn from and be proud of...... Magic can help us, but it can also destroy us. I've seen too many talented people who end up spending the rest of their lives in the Misty Forest, is it because they don't have the power? No, it's because they have lost themselves in the power, because they haven't been able to protect the Pure Land in their hearts...... I hope that there will be no such people among my students. ”
"Wow!" There was a round of applause in the classroom, and it was obvious that Professor Fran's words touched them a lot, and they listened very carefully.
Alan also felt a little excited, and looked at Alyssa in front of her, she seemed to be more excited than anyone else, clapping vigorously, and even had some tears in her eyes.
After a long time of applause, Professor Fran sat down again, looked in Alyssa's direction and said, "So I'm going to give a ...... to the little girl who took the initiative to help me just now What's your name?"
Alyssa was stunned for a moment before she reacted, slowly stood up, wanted to speak, opened her mouth but said nothing.
"There's something strange about her......" Alan thought.
Professor Fran was also a little puzzled, and leaned his glasses to look at Alyssa carefully, but after a while, her expression gradually became a little strange.
"You...... What's your name?" Professor Fran asked again, but this time his voice trembled inexplicably.
Alyssa looked up at Professor Fran for a long time before whispering, "Alyssa...... Alyssa Dark. ”
"Dalke!" Professor Fran suddenly stood up from his chair when he heard her name, as if startled, and then walked all the way to Alyssa with a crutch, and stared at her face for a long time, before he tremblingly stretched out his hand, touched Alyssa's face and said, "Sure enough, it's you, child......"
There was a buzz in the classroom, and everyone was discussing what was going on.
Alyssa didn't say anything, just kept her head down.
"This face is exactly the same as Christie's childhood......" Alan saw tears begin to roll in Professor Fran's eyes.
Immediately after that, Alyssa's emotions seemed to become more and more agitated, and she took Professor Fran's dry hand in both hands and said, "I often hear grandma mention you. ”
Professor Fran was already in tears, and when he heard this, he wiped his handkerchief for a while before asking, "Monina, is she okay now, is she back?"
