"Oh, interesting......" Although Alyssa's voice was as low as possible, Cynthia heard it and looked at her with interest, "What kind of help?"

"That's right......" Alan also looked confused, "With such a big venue, we may not even see each other......"

"You don't have to worry about this, just study the textbook well......" Alyssa didn't explain much, bowed her head and began to eat, "I can do it if I can say it." ”

"Well, if you don't have any other questions, please start eating, and then you can go back to your room. However, please be sure to pay attention to the time and do not exceed 9 o'clock. Professor Stubourne's voice rang out again, "Oh, yes...... Students who want to participate in the work of welcoming new students the day after tomorrow can come to me first to register, and Frey will assign tasks to you at that time. Of course, there are pluses. ”

When Riel heard the news, he put down his food and trotted all the way to Professor Stubourne.

"Why, aren't you going to join in the fun?" Cynthia asked, seeing that Alan was silent, "This is a rare opportunity to expand your network, and maybe meet acquaintances at home." ”

"Uh...... No, I'm going to get my homework done with all the time. Alan shrugged and said, "My gut tells me that it won't be easy to pass this written exam." ”

"Well, I wish you all the best. Cynthia shrugged her shoulders and said, then glanced at Alyssa on the other side, smiled evilly, and deliberately raised her voice again: "If you don't understand something, you can ask me at any time." ”

With that, Cynthia left the table and walked all the way to the front row.

Alyssa knew that Cynthia was saying this to her, and wanted to deliberately make her angry, but she still couldn't help but not quarrel with Cynthia. Although she didn't say anything, just by looking at her expression, she knew that she was sulking in a life, and she was extremely angry.

If it was in normal times, Alan must have already exonerated Cynthia, or persuaded Alyssa not to take it to heart, but this time, I don't know why, he couldn't say anything.

It wasn't until the clock struck eight o'clock that the three of them came out of the auditorium together. Alan and Riel say goodbye to Alyssa at the entrance to the Four Seasons Garden and go back to their rooms.

It wasn't long before the Ravan brothers returned, but it was the same as before, except for Ian, who gave them a cold glance and walked away. Ever since the events of the Sorcerer, Ivan seems to hate them even more.

The next day, Alan spent the whole day in the library, and it seemed that it was really because of the upcoming triple trial, the library suddenly became more crowded, according to this situation, if the freshmen also learned of the news, the library might be crowded, and if they didn't go early enough, they might not be able to grab a place at all. Of course, Alyssa was with him.

Time flies when doing something seriously, and the two of them don't leave the second floor of the library except for lunch. When it came to six o'clock in the evening again, they heard the same rumbling sound as yesterday.

The new life is coming.

Only this time Alan didn't run out to look like he did yesterday, but just came to the window of the library and looked out through the glass. Thinking of how they felt when they first entered school last year, Alan couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"I guess they feel the same way I did......," Alan thought, "and having had such a special race this year, it looks like I'm going to have to work harder." ”

According to his and Alyssa's guesses, since there are so many people participating in the competition this time, and it is divided by age group, the scope of the written test may not be limited to what they have learned so far, but the entire book. And Allen counted the entrances to the entire second and third rounds of the competition venue, and there were only twenty, that is, this was to imply to them that it was almost impossible to have a tie, so the scores of each question should be divided in detail, and there might be many areas involved, even including all subjects.

All the theoretical knowledge of all subjects had to be memorized in just three months, and Alan couldn't help but feel a little stressed. Thinking of this, he didn't dare to delay for a minute or a second.

"Good night. At about eight o'clock, Alan sent Alyssa back to the girls' dormitory, and then to the building where she lived.

As they passed the side door of the auditorium, they glanced inside, and saw that Professor Stubone was explaining the Triple Trial to the freshmen, and the freshmen in the audience all looked nervous, and some whispered to each other with a snickering face, as if they were glad that they were not old enough.

When Alan returned to his room, he found that Rare had returned, looking at a form with an excited face.

"What is this?" asked Allen curiously.

"Duty schedule, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. "I'm going to host new students near the campus hospital tomorrow afternoon and the morning after tomorrow and I'm responsible for getting them through the campus." ”

"Oh......" Alan nodded, still a little strange, "isn't it like Frey did last year, then why do you look so excited......"

"Of course I'm excited!" Riel looked at him with a wicked smile, "Think about it, what's the place north of the school hospital?"

"Uh...... Girls' dormitory?" Alan couldn't help but laugh when he said this, "You can't help but laugh, "You can't be dreaming of meeting a few cute girls or something, right?"

Originally, Alan just wanted to play a joke with him, but when Riel heard this, he suddenly put away his smile, looked at the duty schedule blankly, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Uh...... I'm just kidding. Seeing that Riel's expression was wrong, Alan quickly explained.

"It's okay, I know. Instead of looking at Alan, Rare turned his head out the window, let out a long sigh, and muttered, "I was just thinking how nice it would be if someone could treat me like they did to you......

"What?" Alan was stunned for a moment.

"No, nothing......" Riel turned around, pretending to be relaxed, "You know, I'm terrible at theory, I'm just trying to find someone to go to the library with me, uh, like Alyssa'......"

"Oh......" Alan vaguely seemed to understand something.

"But, uh, she's already busy, and this year, no, probably won't always have time to help me with my questions in the future, so ...... Uh......" Riel said hesitantly.

"I see. Alan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he understood why Riel did this, and the helplessness in it.

In terms of feelings, Alan is a very slow type, he has long regarded Alyssa as a very good friend, until this time on the way to school, his emotions in this regard were finally teased by Alyssa's words that touched his heart, and it was only then that he discovered that he actually had another feeling for Alyssa in his heart. Although it is hazy, when I think of Alyssa, Allen's heart feels very warm, and there is a little sweet taste. Probably he liked this gentle and quiet girl.

I thought that Riel was like him, but after remembering Riel's previous reactions, Alan found that Riel's consciousness in this regard seemed to have awakened much earlier than him. In Alan's impression, Riel hated Alyssa quite much at first, but it seems that the relationship between the two has improved a lot since the final exam, although it is not as talkative as between himself and Alyssa, but it is no longer an ordinary friend.

"He probably likes Alyssa too......" Looking at Riel who was looking out the window, Alan couldn't help but think, "It's just that she's ......"

Alan had thought about how great it would be if they had been so good as they had been, but Alyssa's later performances made it clear that it was impossible, and she would have preferred him to Riel.

Probably this is the so-called happiness trouble. On one side is a brother who has lived with him for more than ten years, and on the other side is a person who may live with him in the future, both of which he does not want to lose. After seeing the Laven brothers, Alan often wondered, what should the so-called feelings between brothers be? This question is simply difficult for him without a brother, but then slowly Alan also figured it out, probably like an existence like Riel, everything to talk about, honest with each other, no secrets at all, no matter what difficulties he encounters, he will accompany him to overcome.

Alan had thought he would be troubled by this for a long time, but Riel's current performance surprised him. Riel is giving in.

A wave of emotion welled up from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but say, "Thank you." "It's a little embarrassing, but that's what Alan wants to say from the bottom of his heart.

Riel was looking out the window, but he was stunned when he heard the word, first staring at Alan for a while, and then his face turned red, as if he had seen through all his thoughts.

"W-What are you thankful for...... I, uh......" Riel tried to pretend he didn't understand, but his incoherent words had betrayed him, "I just ......"

I don't know why, seeing Riel's reaction, Alan couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Don't laugh!" Riel had to pretend to be angry, but he couldn't say anything for a long time, "I'...... You ......"

"Good, good, I don't laugh. Alan then suppressed his smile, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said seriously: "Thank you." ”

This time, Rare was no longer as embarrassed as before, but lowered his head, and after a long silence, said, "If you want to thank you, I should thank you first...... Half of this life was given by you, if it weren't for you......"

Alan instantly understood, and his heart was moved again...... I didn't expect it to be so long, and he still remembers.

"Besides, I'm the one who got out......" Riel suddenly smiled wryly again, and said in a tone that Eren had never seen before, "So, this is the best choice I can make right now." ”
