"Next time?"

The rat fairy laughed, his voice a little harsh in the empty tavern:

"'I'll do better next time', 'I'll win next time', 'I'll never make that mistake next time'. ”

"Next time, next time, next time. ”

"There is no next time in life. Every day is a new beginning. ”

"When you really touch time, you will realize that there is no next time in life. The next time in your consciousness, it's all an illusion. Especially you, young man. ”

The tail behind the rat fairy suddenly stretched out, and the tip of the tail poked at the somewhat distracted witch, bluffing her.

“...... When you are young, you should learn to grasp the present. Treat every day's work, every thing you do, every choice, every moment as the only opportunity in this world. In this way, your life will not be empty. ”

"Come, tell me," the rat fairy cleared his throat and howled, "This time, I must succeed!"

It raised its little paws and looked up at the sky, as if holding up the whole sun, and for a moment even the thick wrinkles on its body were stretched, making it look much younger.

The owner of the Gini hut had a quick eye and quickly planted a powerful soundproof barrier to control the howl of the big rat in the tavern.

Then she had time to add two earplugs to her ears.

"You're stealing concepts!" cried the innkeeper in a raised voice, "Philosophy and life are two different things! Theory and reality are two worlds! A clever wizard wouldn't touch a stone with an egg!"

"Perhaps," the rat fairy did not deny the witch's point of view, it stared at the pair of black eyes the size of mung beans, looked at the new great wizard in front of it, and said softly:

"Maybe you think my choice is a bit stupid. But in this life, people always have to do a few stupid things. You must know that although there is no next time in life, the essence of a wizard is a repeater. They're always repeating the mistakes of the past. It's always repeating those wrong choices. ”

“...... Just like the young man upstairs who was going to try the 'Yuanchen Guardian Charm'. Although I am old and have a poor memory, I remember not long ago when a young wizard tried this spell and lost half his life. Can you call them stupid? They've learned from their last failure......

When Colmar heard this, her eyes widened suddenly, and she glanced up.

The flame of the white candle hanging upside down under the ceiling trembled violently, and a few golden sparks popped out. Even through the thick planks and the dazzling sparks, the witch saw what she wanted to see at a glance.

In the hall on the second floor of the Sakura Tavern, several young gray-robed wizards were hiding in a corner, holding a magic book and gathering together with excitement on their faces, whispering the incantation of the Yuanchen Guardian Charm.

"Hell," cried the witch angrily, "I don't have a second Kabbalah leaf to save their lives...... Even the little sand worm before was cut off from the school working committee last year! How could they be so stupid!"

The rat immortal spread his small paws, with an expression of 'this is the case':

"Like I said, the essence of a wizard is a repeater. ”

......

......

When Colmar rushed up to the second floor in a rage to find trouble with someone in the gray robe who tried the 'Yuanchen Guardian Charm', outside Gu Diao Street, the two young wizards of the First University who had just left the Sakura Tavern were staring at the dark alleyway in a daze.

It wasn't that the two of them were admiring the night view - there was nothing to see in the night in the North End - the two just stopped for a while at the edge of the courtyard two doors away from the tavern.

Just after leaving the Sakura Tavern, Zheng Qing happened to see several wizards from the North District digging a huge puddle in the courtyard of No. 31 Gu Diao Street, and a group of barefoot little magicians carrying dilapidated buckets running between the streets and puddles.

Bang la blah.

The clear water of the river, mixed with black and green amphibians, was poured into the puddle in one go. The breath of the Silent River, mixed with the fishy smell of amphibians, hovered over the puddle, condensing a slender but clear resentment.

The little barefoot tricksters may not see the resentment, or they may not care if they see it—there are too many things in life that are more intimidating than the resentment for the North Side Tricksters—they just happily repeat the action of 'lift the bucket - pour it into the puddle - lift the bucket'.

A few older gray-robed men sold the amphibians to the guests in and out of the Sakura Tavern next door for the price of a copper and a frog.

This is a purely commercial practice.

After Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment, he pulled the boy to stand next to the 'frog pit' and recited the mantra several times. The slightly older gray robe next to him didn't stop it, but he didn't help, but there was a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked coldly at the compassion of the red robe.

Until the two left the courtyard, there was no communication between the two people.

It's as if they live in two parallel worlds.

By the time Zheng Qing left, the puddle was already crowded with those poor reptiles, and the low croaking of frogs came and went, but it was very cleverly confined by magic.

"What a sin. The wizard muttered, subconsciously touching his gray cloth bag, and then remembered that his magic book had been tied a dozen times with his own belt and stuffed into the deepest part of the paulownia box.

"It's a necessary sacrifice. Jiang Yu imitated the tone of the Alpha Academy student, and his chin raised slightly: "It is the honor of these bugs to be able to contribute to the glory of the North District!"

The two young men burst into laughter.

Zheng Qing swirled the words 'frog', 'wizard of the North District', 'Colmar' and 'Nicholas' in his mind, and slowly stopped laughing.

Jiang Yu tilted his head and glanced at him.

"What do you think, how about having Colmar-sensa give Nicholas a spell mark?" he asked softly.

The thought had been swirling in his head all night.

Because of the werewolf blood, Nicholas's magical talent is almost certain to have a huge decline. Perhaps with his efforts this year, he will be able to make it to the second grade. But if you want to go further, it is almost impossible.

But when Jiang Yu and Colma discussed the possibility of Nicholas returning to the North End world at the Sakura Tavern before, both sides tacitly avoided this possibility - to make a student of the First University branded on his forehead with the same brand as the North District pranksters, in the eyes of the two girls, it was a very terrible humiliation.

After all, holding the first university diploma and holding the graduation certificate of a certain training class are still two completely different concepts in the current wizarding world.

"There is no more world of tricksters in the North End. The witch was silent for a long time, and finally replied, "We can make such a proposal, and it is up to Nicholas to decide whether or not we can accept it in the end." ”
