The two of them said goodbye here. Eren goes back to work on his homework, and Rare takes a class in enchantment magic.

As he passed the first floor, Alan looked at Old Seapheus's door, but there was no sign of the gnomes. These gnomes are also strange, as if they only come out at night, and when it comes to the day, they seem to evaporate and disappear without a trace.

"Are you sleeping again?" Alan shook his head helplessly, he had wanted to find a chance to ask Sieverus about the strange sound last night, but now it seemed that he had to do it for the time being.

Alan climbed all the way to the fourth floor, as if he was used to climbing such a high floor every day, and he didn't feel very tired anymore.

The Laven brothers are still the same, and they are not in the room.

"Awesome, no one bothered, it seems like there is no need to go to the library. Alan thought.

He sat on the edge of the bed and took out a pen and paper.

Today, I took another general class, which not only helped him review it completely, but also gave him a lot of new experiences, which made it effortless for him to write his experience and summary.

When the bell rang for the end of eleven, he had just written the last word on the parchment.

"Not bad. Alan skimmed through it again, densely packed with a full page, and it was also very informative, and I expected Professor Stubone to be satisfied. Then he locked the door and headed to the dining room.

However, since it was the end of class and lunchtime, there were a lot of people on the road, so he walked very slowly. It was expected to take ten minutes, but it took nearly twenty minutes.

When he finally arrived, Alyssa and Rare had already ordered their food and looked like they had been sitting at the table for a long time.

However, the two were still the same, sitting face to face without any communication. Alyssa rested the book on her lap as if she were reviewing her morning lesson, while Riel looked around boredly.

"Sorry, I'm late. Alan hurried over and sat down beside Rare, "I didn't expect so many people on the road. ”

"You're coming, I'm going crazy with hunger!" said Ellen as soon as he sat down when Riel unceremoniously moved his hand.

"It's okay, I'm not very hungry anyway. Alyssa closed the book and set it aside, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I'll order it to my own taste...... Do you like these or not, do you want to eat something else?"

"Well, no, I'm not a picky eater. Alan smiled and asked, "How are you two feeling about the first enchantment class?"

"It's okay. The corners of Alyssa's mouth twitched slightly.

However, Riel was stunned for a moment, as if he wanted to tell Eren something terrible, and quickly swallowed everything in his mouth, causing him to almost choke, and drank several sips of water to ease his strength, and then said to Eren with a strange expression: "She had a class...... Won all the points again......"

"All!" Alan was taken aback and looked at Alyssa.

"It's not a lot, it's just forty points...... Alyssa said lightly, "I took the initiative to remove the camouflage barrier as you said, and then answered a few more questions...... Professor Wagbein had a lot of questions, but each question was only worth five points, regardless of difficulty, and if he could be a little more generous like Professor Stubourne, it would probably be more than forty points......"

"Oh my God, that is, you've got a full hundred points this morning alone!" Allen looked incredulous, because in his opinion, Cynthia's performance yesterday was perfect, but it wasn't exaggerated to that extent.

"Seems so...... I don't remember it clearly, I just wanted to take as many as I could. Alyssa's tone remained unwavering.

Alan suddenly felt that the Alyssa in front of him and the Alyssa who was shy and shy before seemed to be completely different from each other.

"Well, I mean, she does seem to be a little out of shape today...... "Riel whispered as he brought his mouth to Ellen's ear and glanced at Alyssa, who was eating with her head down, "She was the first to raise her hand of all the questions Professor Wagbein asked. If you come to this class, you will find out how active she really is, and I wonder if she has taken the wrong medicine......"

Still, Alyssa seemed to hear it, looked up at Riel and said, "I just think something needs to change." ”

"Uh......" Ryle was a little embarrassed, the restaurant was noisy, his voice had been as low as possible, but he didn't expect Alyssa to still hear it.

"I don't want to. Alyssa looked at Alan again, her eyes were a little melancholy, as if it was difficult to say something, and she hesitated for a long time before she continued: "But since I came here, I have found that everything seems to be different from before. ”

Alan sensed that she seemed to have something to say, and put down his fork and looked at her.

"You guys seem to have adapted to a new way of life very easily...... Discovering your talents in a different field or being recognized by your teachers and making new friends...... "Little by little," Alyssa said, "Professor Stubourne, Professor Wagbein, Ian Lavin, Frey Wagbin, and ...... Cynthia Winslow ...... Alyssa's voice became quiet, but she also clenched the knife in her hand tightly, "It seems like I'm the only one who stays where I am." ”

Alyssa stopped making a sound, lowered her head and continued to eat.

Riel didn't understand what she was trying to say, but he could tell that she was unhappy right now.

Although Alan didn't understand what Alyssa's mouth was, she was vaguely aware of what she was trying to say—it had something to do with Cynthia.

"Maybe Cynthia and I are getting too close, and they just don't get along...... So it's inevitable that you'll feel left out. Alan thought with a sigh.

"You're right, some things have changed. After a moment's thought, Alan said to Alyssa, "Because everything is changing." ”

Alyssa looked up at Alan.

"But not everything changes...... For example, our relationship. Alan looked at Rare, twisted his head back, and said with a smile, "We've always been best friends...... Hasn't it always been like this since it started three years ago?"

"Well, well, that's right. Probably to comfort Alyssa, Riel quickly chimed in.

However, Alyssa didn't speak, looked down and thought for a long time before smiling bitterly, shook her head lightly and said, "No, it's changed...... At least me and you, and Riel...... It's just that you didn't notice. ”

Alan was a little surprised, because Alyssa rarely contradicted herself like that. He wanted to ask again what had changed, but Alyssa urged, "Hurry up and eat, then go back to your room and take a break before you go to class." Then she bowed her head and said nothing.

"Uh...... All right. Alan and Riel looked at each other for a moment, and had to quickly bow their heads to eat.

At about half-past twelve, the three of them had basically finished their meals, and went back to their rooms to prepare for the afternoon class.

Eren hadn't overslept today, and just after the bell struck two o'clock, he called Rare up and headed to the Elemental Tower together. Although he knew that Cynthia might already be waiting for him in the Perpetual Motion House, he didn't want to bother her to lead the way. He owes enough favors.

The two of them walked early enough, and there were not many people on the road, and they soon arrived at the Perpetual Motion House.

"Yo, you're early enough today. As soon as he entered the Perpetual Motion House, Alan heard Cynthia's voice coming from his left.

Looking at the sound, Alan found that she was still waiting for him with her arms folded on her chest as she had done yesterday, holding the book in her arms, her back against the wall, and looking a little bored.

"I feel like I couldn't have been too early for you, you seem like you've always been the first to arrive?" Alan asked, smiling.

"No, it was me yesterday, but today she was earlier than me. Cynthia motioned for Alan to look across the room, into the innermost corner.

The light in that corner wasn't very well-lit, and Alan couldn't see it clearly.

But before Alan could take out his glasses, Riel had already seen it first, and let out a strange voice with a surprised face: "Huh!?"

"What's wrong?" asked Alan as he put on his glasses.

"That's ...... Alyssa ...... Right?" Riel's words sounded strange.

"Isn't it her, don't you recognize her?" said Alan as he looked over there in confusion, and said to himself: Even if it's Alyssa, it's normal for her to come early, so she won't be surprised like this, right?

However, when Alan saw it clearly, he was also a little uncertain: the small figure did look like Alyssa, but with short hair.

Alan and Riel trotted all the way over, and when they were only a few steps away from the figure, they were sure that it was indeed Alyssa.

She still kept her head down, not noticing that Alan had arrived.

When I saw her in the morning, her thick brown hair had reached her back, but now it was a whole length shorter, neatly clinging to the back of her ears, revealing her fair neck.

"You...... What's the matter with your hair?" Riel's eyes widened.

"I cut the ...... myself," Alyssa whispered, looking to the side with her head down.

"It's not...... I mean, why did you cut it all of a sudden?" Riel frowned and scratched his head, looking like he didn't really like Alyssa's new hairstyle.

"That's right...... Wasn't it good to have medium-long hair before, how could it be cut so short all of a sudden?" Alan was also a little puzzled.

"Why, isn't short hair for me?" asked Alyssa, glancing at Allen, not answering their questions, and turning her head unnaturally to the side.

"Uh...... That's not what I meant......" Alan touched his nose, a little speechless.

Alyssa also held the book in her arms, lowered her head and pursed her mouth, her small face looked delicate and cute, which made Alan look a little fascinated.

Just stared at her side face for a long time before Alan squeezed out a few words from his mouth: "Uh...... Very, very beautiful......"
