Volume 1: The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 76: Minos Sadres
I don't know how long I lay in bed, but Alan finally fell asleep in a daze. By the time he woke up, it was half past two in the afternoon, and he had been woken up by Ian.
"Alan, wake up! Wake up!" "Alan, wake up, I'm sleeping soundly, and suddenly I feel someone shaking my body.
"Hmm...... Huh?" Alan opened his eyes in a daze, and found that the person who was calling him was Ian.
"It's half past two, don't you have class in the afternoon?" asked Ian.
"What!" Alan instantly shuddered. He glanced at Riel on the bed next to him and saw that he was also asleep.
Alan had intended to tell Riel to wake him up when the clock rang at two o'clock, but as soon as he lay down, he began to think about Cynthia and completely forgot about it. What he didn't expect was that Riel seemed to be in good spirits at the moment, and he thought he would know how to wake him up, but now he was sleeping more heavily than he was......
"I remember you saying that you've had classes every day for the past two weeks......" Ian whispered.
"Oops! this class is in the Elemental Tower!" Alan exclaimed, picked up the two books he was going to use for the afternoon and ran out, not forgetting to say "thank you" to Ian as he went out!
Alan went out of the dormitory building and found that not only were there not many people in the corridor, but even there was no one in the Four Seasons Garden. Alan glanced up, and the Worcester clock tower showed that it was 2:35 p.m., and those who had classes should have been waiting in the elemental towers or even classrooms, and those who did not have classes were either resting in their rooms or studying in the library, and there were really very few people like him who were still on the road.
Alan trotted all the way through the Four Seasons Garden as fast as he could. His mind was in a mess now, and he didn't know how he had overslept, because when he was still in Beya, he almost didn't take a nap every day, or slept very little.
"Could it be that the morning class consumes too much energy...... Or maybe he hasn't fully recovered from being electrocuted by Cynthia?" he couldn't figure it out. But what he was more worried about now was that with less than twenty minutes to go, he would be able to get to the Elemental Tower in such a short time and find Room 205.
"Twenty points will be deducted for violating discipline once......" He began to sweat on his forehead at the thought of this, he didn't want to let the hard work of the morning be wasted, after all, that kind of opportunity is not available in every class. What's more, he doesn't want to rely on Cynthia all the time.
But there's no point in worrying about that now, the most important thing now is to get there as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Eren ran faster and faster, and finally arrived at the entrance of the Elemental Tower at around 2:50.
Not only was there no one in the general hall that I had just walked through, but there was not even a single figure in the corridor leading to the Perpetual Motion House. The dim light made it difficult for him to see how far he was from the exit, and he wanted to put on his glasses so that he could see better, but when he touched his pocket, he felt cold: when he went to bed, he put his glasses on the small table at the head of the bed, but he forgot to bring them because he was in such a hurry......
It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight.
Alan suddenly felt a little desperate. He realized that forgetting to wear glasses was not only a matter of not being able to read what was written on the blackboard, but more importantly, if Room 205 was in a very high or remote location, he might not be able to find it at all.
And as soon as he entered the corridor, the time when he could not see the bell tower made him panic, as if the bell at three o'clock might ring at any time, announcing that his efforts were in vain. He simply lowered his head and used all his strength to run, but this road preferred to have no end at this moment.
I don't know how long it was, but it seemed like an hour to Allen, but in fact it was probably less than five minutes. He felt a sudden light in his eyes, and when he looked up, he found that he had finally passed through the corridor and entered the Perpetual Motion House.
Running here at full speed from the dormitory building, he had never run so far in one go, which made him a little out of breath. He didn't know how many minutes there was until three o'clock, but he hadn't heard the bell yet, so there was hope. Unable to rest, he gasped as he walked to the center of the room and began to look around for Room 205.
Since Allen's eyesight is not yet to the point where he can't walk without glasses, and he doesn't like the feeling of the mirror frame on the bridge of his nose, he has always only worn it when reading a book or attending class. But now he kept asking himself why he didn't get into the habit of wearing glasses for everything, so that he wouldn't be so difficult now, and it would take him half a day to read a room number clearly. And the sweat seemed to be deliberately against him, constantly flowing down, always flowing into his eyes when he was about to see a room number clearly, covering his vision, which made him anxious and angry.
In this way, time passed by second, and half a minute seemed to be gone in the blink of an eye for him now. Every second that passes, the probability of being late is one point higher.
Due to the nervousness and the heart after intense exercise, the heart is now "pounding" non-stop, and the class bell seems to ring at any moment.
But just when he felt that he was about to lose hope, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind him: "Why are you only here now?" ”
Alan turned around and was surprised to see that Cynthia had been behind him all along, with her back against the wall, walking towards him. It's just that he ran all the way in, and he didn't notice that there was another person next to the door.
"I've been waiting for you for almost an hour. Cynthia saw that he did not speak, and then said again.
The cold sweat that broke out because of worry, mixed with the sweat that had flowed all the way, wet Allen's hair, and clinged to his forehead, and the original neat hair on the top of his head was also blown a little messy, making him look a little embarrassed and a little funny.
Cynthia chuckled, "It doesn't look like your style." ”
"Why are you still here, shouldn't you already be in the classroom?" Allen felt a little embarrassed by her smile.
"Of course I'm waiting for you. Cynthia said lightly, her tone as if she had taken it for granted.
"Uh......" Alan was a little speechless for a moment.
"Come with me if you don't want to be late. Cynthia also knew that time was pressing, and without waiting for him to answer, she walked up a staircase in front of her right after speaking, "Immediately." ”
"Hmm!" Alan quickly answered.
The two of them climbed the stairs for about two or three minutes one after the other, and finally came to the door of a room, and Alan looked at the house number hanging on the lintel, it was room 205.
He looked down again and found that although this was room 205, this height was at least on the fourth floor, and with his glassless eyes, he couldn't see it even if there was no sweat interference......
"I owe her another favor......," Alan sighed softly.
However, the clock of three o'clock had not yet struck, and it seemed that he had finally caught up, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
By this time, Cynthia had already pushed the door open and walked in, and Alan hurriedly followed.
The room was already neatly filled with students, all staring at the two men who had come in at the last minute.
"They came together again. ”
"Well, in the morning, too, basically inseparable. ”
"Hey, what do you think they are doing...... Is it ......?"
"Who knows, maybe this poor boy has shit luck. ”
"Haha, I look like it, even if she is surnamed Winslow, she is still a girl after all. ”
Alan heard a lot of people whispering, speculating about the relationship between him and Cynthia, and heard someone snickering from time to time, so he had to lower his head and follow Cynthia, not daring to look up at all.
Cynthia was as calm as ever, as if she hadn't heard at all, or wasn't interested in what they were discussing.
"When ......" a few long bells rang, and it was three o'clock. Cynthia and Alan happened to be sitting down in one corner of the classroom, one after the other.
"Now the class begins!" a deep voice came from the podium.
Alan was startled, the voice was a little too loud, and if he hadn't looked up, he would have thought he was using an amplification spell or something.
Because he was blocked by Cynthia just now, Alan realized that there was a very tall and burly man standing on the podium. Alan couldn't really see it, and could only barely see the general appearance of this man. He was dressed in a black robe, nearly two meters tall, and his hair and beard were very thick, all of which were carefully braided into small braids, which looked very unique.
"I'm Minos Sadres, who is teaching you this thunder magic class!" his voice sounded so loud that Eren wanted to cover his ears as he sat furthest away from him.
"His voice is a little too loud...... It's as good as its name......" Alan grumbled quietly.
Cynthia, however, only turned her head to look at him slightly, and said nothing.
"Let's start class!" Without introducing himself like Professor Stubourn and not teaching in a unique way like Professor Wagbein, Professor Sadles got straight to the point. I have to say that this seems very abrupt, and it also makes Alan very uncomfortable.
"Flip to the first chapter of the textbook - a basic outline of thunder elemental magic. Professor Sadres picked up the textbook in his hand, stepped off the podium, and said slowly as he walked down the corridor: "Thunder elemental magic can only be cast by magicians whose magic power contains thunder elemental attributes in their bodies. All elemental magic is divided into two main forms – self-generated and manipulated, and thunder elemental magic is no exception...... The so-called autogeneous elemental magic refers to the magic formed by casting its own magic power, supplemented by spells, so that the magic power can show its original nature in the outside world. Manipulation elemental magic, on the other hand, is a magic formed by establishing a link between its own magic power and the external elements that match the nature of the magic, and then strengthening and manipulating the external elements through spells. ”
At this time, Professor Sadres had already walked from the podium to Cynthia, and when he said this, he suddenly stopped, stared at Cynthia and said, "Then, let's ask Miss Cynthia Winslow to show us the casting status of the autogeneous thunder-like elemental magic!"
