While Alan was carefully admiring the Four Seasons orchid, there was a sudden noise in the apartment behind him. They looked back and saw a group of little gnomes surrounding a group of students in the middle, banging and beating on him, looking angry.

"Thief!" they heard several little gnomes cry out in an agitated manner.

They walked back and found that the man in the middle was none other than Ian.

"Let him go!!" Alan asked, grabbing one of the most troublesome gnomes. Rare and Ivan also rushed over to help.

"He stole our food! our food all day!" said the gnome. The rest of the lounge and the people on the second floor also gathered around to hear the sound.

"How is that possible!, you don't want to spew blood for no reason!" Riel was angry when he heard this.

Ian stood with his head bowed, his face flushed, and he didn't speak. Alan understood immediately. He walked over to Ian and pulled him over, then took a few gold coins out of his pocket and quietly handed them to the gnomes, saying, "Take it, don't talk about it again, these are compensation." ”

"Yes!" the gnomes immediately fell silent when they saw the glittering gold coins, staring at the coins with their heads down, carefully holding them in their hands. Before the crowd of onlookers could understand what was going on, they saw that the gnomes were no longer entangled, and they dispersed.

But as soon as the crowd dispersed, I heard a nasty voice from the second floor: "Oh, oh, oh! Let me guess what happened, a beggar who stole leftovers was caught and appeared, and another reptile wanted to pay for the rest of the matter?"

Alan looked up and saw that it was little Stewart who was speaking. He was taunting them as he walked slowly downstairs.

"You're a reptile! you scum!" Riel glared at him.

"Well, the reptile and the beggar live together, and they're a good match!" said little Stewart dismissively.

"I didn't steal...... I didn't know it was their food...... I thought no one wanted it, and it ......was a shame to lose it," Ian whispered.

"Whether you know it or not, you just stole it!" little Stewart had already walked up to them, unrelenting, and clearly wanted to make a big deal out of it.

"Yes, a thief is a thief! Shame on the dwarfs!" Bilber, who was like a fart, quickly chimed in.

Ian didn't know what to refute, and Riel was speechless because he did eat the gnomes' food.

The others heard the voices and began to gather again and began to talk.

"Call Professor Stubourne!" shouted Little Stewart.

"Yes! Deduct points! You guys still have to cover him up, and you have to deduct points together!" Bilber also coaxed.

Ian's lips began to tremble a little when he heard this, and Riel was not calm, after all, no one wanted to be deducted points on the first day of school.

At this moment, Alan spoke: "We have already made compensation. And pulled Ian behind him and confronted little Stewart: "Those who don't know are not guilty, aren't they?"

This time it was little Stewart's turn to say nothing and stood in place in a huff.

"You tell him that you've forgiven Ian?" Alan asked, looking down again, the gnomes.

Fortunately, they only had gold coins in their eyes now, and they didn't see the sharp gaze cast by Little Stewart, so they all nodded again and again: "Hmm!"

"Well, even the gnomes have already said to forgive him, then the matter is over. Alan stared at little Stewart and said, "If you don't have anything else, we won't be with you." The magic test is about to begin. ”

With that, Alan turned and walked into the garden. Riel pouted at little Stewart and pulled Ian to follow.

The crowd slowly dispersed again.

"Hey, you're lucky!" little Stewart touched his nose, but there was nothing he could do, so he stared at them through gritted teeth and said, "The days are still long, let's see!"

"Get out of here!" he turned around and kicked a gnome in his way into the corner, heading straight back to the second floor.

Alan and the others went into the garden and talked about what had just happened while no one was around.

"Thank you. Ian thanked Eren first.

"No thanks, just don't do this kind of thing in the future. Will be held by Stewart. Allen said.

"Hmm......" Ian replied softly with his head down, as if he still had a knot in his heart.

"yes, why are you ......" Riel was stopped by Alan before he could finish his sentence.

"It's not that you're ashamed to do this kind of thing, there's nothing wrong with cherishing food, it's just that it's not a good thing to be targeted by someone like Stewart, and you have to fight against us in the past three years, but you have to remember that we are not here to cause unnecessary trouble. Allen said.

"yes, I see. Ian replied with a sigh of relief.

As soon as Alan finished speaking, he heard Riel ask, "Huh, what about Ivan?"

They looked around and saw that there were all flowers around, and it was only the three of them. Ivan didn't know when he was gone.

"Waiting for us in the Great Hall?" Riel asked.

But neither Alan nor Ian spoke, as if they were thinking about something.

The three of them followed the road they had taken last night back to the auditorium, but found that there was no one. The door to the auditorium was also locked, and the three of them were the first.

"That's weird, where did the others go?" Riel looked around, and saw that only a handful of upper-uniformed students were in and out of the library, and there was no sign of Ivan.

The three of them had to find a corner where no one was around, and sat on the steps of the auditorium and waited patiently, taking in the passing glance at the immortal tree that they hadn't seen clearly last night, and the other two buildings that Professor Stubone hadn't had time to introduce to them.

Even though it was daytime, the red glow from the heart of the Immortal Tree could be faintly seen, flickering and dimming, as if it were breathing, as even as the rhythm of the heartbeat, the canopy of the tree sloping towards the Great Hall as a whole, almost touching the ground, and the branches were long, but they did not hang down softly like the willows, but stretched out to the ground like a pair of hands.

They moved their gaze to the opposite side of the auditorium, which was only one story, but it was also about two stories high, and there was a sign hanging at the door that read "Council Hall" in three large golden letters.

The building opposite the library, which is also only one floor, has two doors with signs that say "Museum of History" and "Exhibition Room".

This made Alan wonder, if it was just a meeting, how could the conference hall be built such a large building alone, and how could there be a museum in the school?

Just as Alan was wondering, Alyssa's voice came from his right hand: "That...... Can I sit down?"

Alan turned his head to look and saw that Alyssa seemed to have been standing here for a long time. He had just looked to the opposite and left side, not noticing that Alyssa had arrived.

"Well, of course. He had the two men on his left move to the left together, making room for Alyssa.

"Thank you. Alyssa sat down and said.

"You're still early, as always. Alan said with a smile.

"Neither are you. Alyssa smiled as well.

"Did you sleep well last night?" asked Allen.

"Well, it's okay...... It's just a little homesick. Alyssa said.

Alan smiled when he heard this, it seemed that everyone was the same.

"Why are you the only one? not with the dorm people?" asked Riel.

"No, they're still having breakfast...... "and I don't get along with them." ”

"Why, are they too noisy?" said Allen.

"Well, maybe I'm too used to being alone...... Is this your roommate?" asked Alyssa, seeing another person sitting to Riel's left.

"Well, his name is Ian LaVine, and he has a twin brother, Ivan LaVine. Live in Tumon. ”

"Hello, my name is Alyssa Dark. Alyssa greeted politely.

"Hello. Ian said.

"It's good that you've made new friends so quickly. Alyssa said to Alan.

"You also have to try to get along with them slowly, and it will always get better. Allen said.

After sitting like this for a while, the number of people began to increase, and Professor Stubone came. After a while, little Stewart and Bilber also came over lazily.

"Yo, reptiles really like to get together. Little Stewart said to Bilber with a sneer. However, due to Professor Stubourne's presence, he didn't speak too loudly or linger long, and soon walked past them with a smile.

"Who is he, doesn't seem to like you very much?" asked Alyssa, curious.

"Well, his name is Floyd Stewart, and we had a bit of an unpleasant time before. Allen said.

"It's not just unpleasant! that scumbag is going to bully people by virtue of his noble birth, as if he is great!Phew!" Rare scolded at little Stewart's back.

Alyssa was amused by Riel's movements and chuckled softly.

Then they heard the bell ring at nine o'clock, and then they heard Mr. Stubourne's distinctive voice come over: "Ahem...... Freshmen, come here, come this way! The magic test is about to begin!"
