Chapter 39: Good Teacher
Ke Zhenxi felt very, very frustrated that he could not get a place for the freshman training from Mr. Columbus, but he was not without a chance, after all, there were still three teachers to fight for. Especially Ke Lan'er, the teacher of Tuesday's "Mana Run" class, he felt that among all the teachers, this teacher should have the best impression of him. What's more, he has to come to the school's laboratory building every Saturday to be Teacher Ke's assistant.
In the laboratory building of the Lorling Royal Spell School, there are various laboratories and magic refining rooms. Because Ke Lan'er is good at refining magic weapons, she has her own unique magic weapon refining room.
Ke Zhenxi came for the first time, and he looked at the map all the way before he found the place, and he knocked on the door of the third room of the magic weapon refining.
You only need to come to help for one day a week, and you will be paid three silver coins, which will be settled on the same day, which is like a pie falling from the sky for Ke Zhenxi.
In the Ancient Continent, mage is a very rare profession, and becoming a mage requires a high level of talent, and it is difficult for ordinary mages to be competent. Therefore, the income of this industry is very high, and if you make some magic weapons, you can sell them for a very high price.
In Ke Zhenxi's opinion, this Teacher Ke must be very rich.
"Come in. A soft voice came from inside the room.
Ke Zhenxi politely pushed open the door and saw that Ke Lan'er was the only one in the room.
He glanced at Room No. 3 of the Magic Weapon Refinery, which was a room of about three hundred square meters, full of all kinds of strange-shaped instruments, materials, and all kinds of weapons and equipment.
"Didn't you ask you to come at eight o'clock when you were late? It's ten o'clock now. Although Ke Lan'er said the language of reproach, her tone was very soft, and she didn't seem to be angry, but the next words made Ke Zhenxi very depressed, "As a punishment for being late, I can only give you two silver coins today." ”
"I'm ....... my first time here, I don't know the way, don't deduct the money, I promise not to be late in the future." Ke Zhenxi said in a sincere tone.
"It's not a good habit to make excuses, you can leave early, or explore the way before you come. Ke Lan'er took her eyes off the copper ball in her hand, looked at Ke Zhenxi, and smiled slightly.
"Okay, I see. Ke Zhenxi said in disbelief that he had lost a silver coin at the beginning, which was enough money to buy a hundred dry breads.
Ke Lan'er looked at Ke Zhenxi, who was a little lost, and said with a smile: "If you are satisfied with my work today, I don't mind adding some bonuses to you, such as a silver coin." ”
Ke Zhenxi suddenly felt that Ke Lan'er's voice became pleasant, and he asked excitedly as if he had been beaten with chicken blood: "Teacher, what do you need me to do, I will definitely not disappoint you." ”
"Well, good, bring the bottle with the brown liquid over there, I'm going to make a 'Spirit Rhino Bead' today. ”
In the next two hours, Ke Zhenxi helped while secretly learning. If he can learn this craft, he will not be short of money in the future. Of course, with his intelligence, it is impossible to learn.
While operating, Ke Lan'er asked about Ke Zhenxi's study and life in the month of enrollment.
In Ke Zhenxi's view, it is common for teachers to care about students, and he has no suspicions. He answers whatever the teacher asks, and he has many reasons to please the teacher.
"By the way, teacher, can you give me a place to participate in the freshman experience?" Ke Zhenxi felt that the atmosphere of the two chatting was good, and said his request.
"Freshman experience, Ke ...... Martin-san, I'm afraid I can't give you this spot. Curran's expression changed from gentle to serious.
"Why?" Ke Zhenxi thought that this kind and gentle teacher would agree nine times out of ten, but he didn't expect her to refuse directly.
"You also know that even if you get a place, you still have to participate in the knockout round, with your current strength, ......" Ke Lan'er stopped when she said this, she didn't want to hurt Ke Zhenxi's self-esteem.
"I'm sure I'll be promoted, please. Ke Zhenxi begged this woman of his age directly regardless of his face, and he was actually very ashamed in his heart.
Ke Lan'er didn't expect the other party to plead so lowly, if she didn't agree, it would be like a slap in the face.
"Can I call you Zhenxi?" asked Curranelle softly, with sincerity in her eyes.
"Yes teacher, it's my pleasure. Ke Zhenxi saw that Ke Lan'er took the initiative to get close, and felt that there was still a drama in the matter of the quota, and he was overjoyed.
"It's not your fault that you're weak now, after all, you haven't been enrolled for a long time. Students who are eligible to get a quota have a certain foundation in spells before entering the school, and some even already have a mage certificate. Some students are indeed very talented, and their strength improves quickly. Do you think you can have the strength of a junior mage now or in a few months?"
"Yes....... yes. "Ke Zhenxi actually doesn't have much confidence, but if he can't, then he has no chance.
"Zhenxi, I won't give you a quota, it's for your sake, the freshman experience is very dangerous, if the strength is too weak, it is likely to die. Ke Lan'er saw that Ke Zhenxi was still not giving up, and began to change her strategy, she wanted to scare Ke Zhenxi away. Of course, these words are not alarmist, and the freshman experience is indeed dangerous, and there are cases of serious injuries and even deaths every year.
When Ke Zhenxi heard that the other party still wanted him to give up, his heart was cold, and he thought in frustration: "The strength is too weak? Yes, you are talking about me." ”
Ke Lan'er saw Ke Zhenxi's calm face, and also knew his mood at the moment, and said: "It's nothing if the freshmen don't participate in the training, it's just some magic weapon rewards and false fame, if you have the strength, even if you don't have the priority to choose courses in the second year, you can also choose your favorite spell course through the entrance exam." ”
"I can't even get a place for freshman training, how can I still have the strength to pass the second-year course exam? Ke Zhenxi looked at Ke Lan'er dissatisfied, as if she was to blame for all this.
Seeing Ke Zhenxi's appearance, Ke Lan'er sighed softly and said, "That's it, after you help me complete the refining of the magic weapon every Saturday, I will give you a make-up lesson to improve your strength, how about it?"
"Really? Then will you give me a quota?" Ke Zhenxi's eyes lit up when he heard that there was still a chance.
"No, as I said, the freshman experience is too dangerous. Ke Lan'er said categorically, she was still not very optimistic about Ke Zhenxi's magic talent in her heart. Moreover, she didn't want Ke Zhenxi to take any more risks.
Ke Zhenxi listened to it and wanted to fight for it.
Ke Lan'er preemptively said again: "Also, I didn't give you a make-up lesson for nothing, your salary for your part-time job was reduced to one silver coin." ”
"This ......" Ke Zhenxi was anxious when he heard that he was going to reduce his salary.
Seeing that Ke Zhenxi's face became more ugly, Ke Lan'er couldn't help but smile: "What? In order to earn an extra two silver coins a week, you can't make progress? You want to participate in the freshman training's persistence is also fake, right?"
"Of course it's not fake, I'm willing to accept your terms. Ke Zhenxi was said by the other party and suddenly woke up. How could he give up his future for the sake of a few silver coins for the sake of a few silver coins? Although he couldn't get a place with Teacher Ke, the free special training was not bad.
"Well, it's almost noon, use this time before dinner to test your mana meridians first. ”
"Good. Ke Zhenxi was not suspicious, and stood there at his mercy.
Ke Lan'er's hands slowly released white mana, and slowly immersed himself in Ke Zhenxi's body, feeling the other party's mana meridians.
She found that Ke Zhenxi's mana meridian was like a piece of clothing sewn from countless black rags, and countless white needles and threads sewed these rags together compactly. Obviously, this person's mana meridian had been severely damaged and had been repaired later. Moreover, after the repair, the mana meridians became extremely strong.
Ke Zhenxi's original mana was black, and the mana generated by the repaired part was white, so he had two-color mana.
Ke Lan'er felt a sour feeling in her heart, and she knew the reason for this. She adjusted her emotions and continued to investigate.
She felt that there was a ball of immortal power in Ke Zhenxi's soul, and this immortal power had been integrated into his soul, and if it was forcibly opened with external force, Ke Zhenxi's soul would be torn apart together.
"What Ben Shuangfeng said is true. Ke Lan'er thought to herself, then looked at Ke Zhenxi gently, and said, "Your mana meridians have two attributes, one black and one white. ”
"I don't know what's going on. Ke Zhenxi didn't know much about mana, otherwise he might guess that it was because of the reorganization of his mana meridians.
"Generally speaking, black mana represents erosion and destruction, and white represents invincibility. Your mana meridians are cross-mixed, which means you can't use black or white mana alone. ”
"Is it a big impact?" Ke Zhenxi didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.
"It shouldn't have much impact, it's rare in the world like yours, and we can only cross the river by feeling the stones. Okay, let's go eat first, go to the 'Smart Food' restaurant, and I'll invite you. ”
Ke Zhenxi was happy when he heard it, the 'Smart Food' restaurant ranked third among the eight restaurants, how could he get two or three silver coins for a meal, if he went there to eat every Saturday in the future, he would make a lot of money!
On the way to the restaurant, Ke Lan'er pretended to be casual and asked Ke Zhenxi, "By the way, Zhenxi, have you applied for a place at the ball?"
"What prom?" Ke Zhenxi was stunned by the question.
"The National Day dance party in the school auditorium. ”
"I don't know how to dance, I don't go. Ke Zhenxi replied bluntly.
Ke Lan'er was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Participating in the prom is a good opportunity to attract the opposite sex, do you have a girl you like?"
Ke Zhenxi tilted his head and thought about it, what is a liking? A beautiful girl like Yunel and Floya, he can say that he likes it, but this liking is only because of his love for beautiful appearance. And Lola, in addition to the appearance of liking, he has some other feelings, and it doesn't seem to be the kind of relationship between men and women, but more like the kind of feelings between friends or relatives.
So, he shook his head and said, "No." ”
When she heard this, she smiled happily at first, and then her face changed, as if she had something on her mind.
Ke Zhenxi didn't notice the change in the other party's expression, and continued: "If I go to participate, I will have to make people laugh, I can't dance at all." ”
Ke Lan'er hurriedly said, "If you want to dance, I can teach you." ”
"Huh?" Ke Zhenxi was stunned for a moment, looking at Ke Lan'er, his heart became alert. Only then did it occur to him that Curranelle seemed to be very nice to him, which was very abnormal. Especially to teach him to dance, he doesn't know much about the etiquette of this world, but he always feels a little embarrassed to dance so close to each other.
A thought suddenly popped up in his heart: "Could it be that Teacher Ke likes me? This is too unbelievable, isn't it?"
Ke Zhenxi is still very self-aware, whether it is his appearance, identity or talent, he has nothing to attract women at all, not to mention that he is not familiar with Ke Laner at all.
Or is the teacher very enthusiastic and helpful? Why doesn't she help others?
Ke Zhenxi always felt that there was something strange about this, so he politely refused: "It's still not necessary, I'm not interested in dancing." ”
Hearing this, Ke Lan'er nodded with a reluctant smile and didn't say anything more.
That night, Ke Zhenxi found Ben Shuangfeng and expressed his suspicions about Ke Lan'er.
"That's the way it is, do you think she could be sent by Pandora to spy on us?" Ke Zhenxi expressed his doubts.
Ben Shuangfeng always had a cold expression, and after listening to Ke Zhenxi's story, he just said lightly: "Teacher Ke, you can rest assured, she is definitely not a bad person." But if other teachers are so unusually nice to you, be careful. ”
No matter how sluggish Ke Zhenxi was, he could tell that this Benshuang Peak must know Ke Lan'er.
Thinking of this, he asked bluntly, "Do you know Currane?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, in short, you should be honest in front of Teacher Ke, don't be big or small. Ben Shuangfeng said, using mana to push Ke Zhenxi out of the door with ice mist.
"Damn, what is this?" Ke Zhenxi stood up and cursed. The worries in his heart have also been alleviated a lot, it seems that Ben Shuangfeng knows Ke Lan'er, and Ke Lan'er is not a bad person, so he can rest assured. You can get benefits, but there is no danger, why do you want to do so much?
