Arn tried his best not to look at the Patriarch's face, even though the old man was always smiling.
But he always felt that that smile remained unchanged forever, just like a well-executed program.
"They said that this would be a discovery that spanned the ages, a pioneering work that would change the course of magic, and would be engraved in history forever." Ion said exactly what was written in the Magic Annual.
"Haha..." the patriarch said with a warm face, "the goddess will forgive their recklessness and offense."
"Two stupid guys who can't keep up with the times... let them die with magic."
"Ion."
"I'm here, Patriarch."
"Go, follow the guidance of the goddess, help the goddess come to the world, and you will get what you want."
"...Okay, Patriarch."
...
After Ion left, the glorious and sacred church fell into an eerie silence.
The slightly hunched Patriarch took out a thin book from his wide sleeve robe, with the words "Magic Council" written on it.
He opened the first page and looked at the words carefully.
"Under the water element, there are smaller elements, they are 'hydrogen' and 'oxygen'..."
"hehe......"
"hehe......"
His old but bright smile echoed in the church.
"The goddess's guidance will not be wrong..." He murmured, suddenly crumpled the book into a ball, and then tore it into pieces.
Veins popped up on his old face, and he looked like a roaring beast.
…
Time passed by in a hurry, and soon it was Saturday.
The sun sets and rises again. It seems that all the good things are still going on, and Jiang Qiao's life has returned to its previous calm state.
However, the influence of the long-haired man on him was temporarily covered up.
From the last time he met Sylvie until now, he has never practiced magic again.
The magic circle engraved with arc magic on his wrist was always shining with a little light.
As long as no spells are used to pray, the magic circle will always be within the shelf life.
…
Jiang Qiao pulled up a chair in the office and sat down, next to Li Wan who was drinking wolfberry tea.
"You are quite easy-going." Li Wan glanced at him.
"Thank you for the compliment, teacher." Jiang Qiao was still very polite.
"Don't be such a talker..." Li Wan rolled her eyes, then took out a pile of books from under the desk and placed them on the table: "Here, your textbooks are back for you."
"Oh, it's been two weeks... This is really fast." Jiang Qiao praised, then picked up the book on the top and turned to the first page. It was Cheng Ruoxi's name.
.
"Just say it in front of me, but don't let the principal hear it." Li Wan always smiled and seemed to never be really angry with others.
She glanced at the book in Jiang Qiao's hand: "Hey, when did Jiang University Master's handwriting become so delicate... Wait, this isn't your book, is it?"
Jiang Qiao quickly closed the book, looked at Li Wan's sneer face, and laughed twice: "This is indeed not mine, it's my book... I don't know where it went."
"Oh——" Li Wan said in a long tone, "It turns out that your books can still travel long distances. It's really amazing~"
"Cheng Ruoxi..." She snatched the book from Jiang Qiao's hand, looked at the name, and was slightly surprised: "How did you get it?"
Jiang Qiao asked: "Does the teacher also know Cheng Ruoxi?"
Li Wei said angrily: "You are an idiot as a teacher."
Immediately afterwards, she said: "Cheng Ruoxi, she has been firmly ranked in the top three in every joint entrance exam... Every time during a meeting, the leader would pull her out to praise her, and then criticize why we cultivate
There is no such student..."
"I'm so familiar with it!" Li Wan's eyes were full of resentment.
After thinking for a while, she smiled: "I'm curious, how good is your relationship with Cheng Ruoxi before she would lend you all her textbooks? I heard that No. 1 Middle School is also recruiting top students.
textbook."
Her gentle appearance hides a gossipy heart.
"Teacher...I have something to do, so I will leave first."
Jiang Qiao couldn't bear such gossip, so he picked up the book and rushed out of the office, leaving behind a series of laughter like silver bells.
...
Saturday night self-study is always difficult, the restless atmosphere fills the entire classroom, and the slightest sound can usually cause laughter in the room.
After completing the study task, Jiang Qiao took out the parchment with the second-level magic on it as usual and studied it.
"The improvement of elemental affinity also contributes to the improvement of physical fitness."
"The first rule of a magician is to be one with nature."
There is a lot of basic knowledge like this on the parchment, probably Sylvie specially marked it for Jiang Qiao to see.
...
The bell rang, and he learned a lot during this evening self-study session.
Jiang Qiao stretched and looked to the side. Zhou Cheng was lying on the table without saying a word, his face full of melancholy.
No need to ask, he is still feeling sad about a certain girl.
Jiang Qiao sighed silently, then patted Zhou Cheng on the shoulder and lowered his voice:
"orange?"
As his deskmate, he had to help Zhou Cheng get on the right track, especially at a critical moment like his senior year.
Zhou Cheng's ranking is at the bottom of the class, and he is not much better in school. He belongs to the kind of level where he can't go up or down.
But if you continue like this, your grades will soon slip.
Zhou Cheng glanced at him sadly: "Brother Qiao."
"Hey, Chengzi, don't be sad. I understand your pain. Tell me what you're unhappy about and let me be happy for a while."
"Brother Qiao, you still have no bottom line as always."
"Come on, isn't it just that your confession was rejected? As for being depressed for two weeks?"
Zhou Cheng was stunned: "Who cares about that? She is just the number one girl I have a crush on."
Jiang Qiao was also stunned: "Then why are you so sad?"
"No, I just have hemorrhoids."
Jiang Qiao:......
"By the way, Brother Qiao, I remembered Luo Shanshan when you mentioned her," Zhou Cheng said, "She recently found a boyfriend from outside school. It is said that he is asking about you all over the world. You have to be careful."
Jiang Qiao said in surprise: "It's not good for me? Why? Am I familiar with him?"
Zhou Cheng's face turned serious. He didn't know whether it was because he was worried about hemorrhoids or Jiang Qiao: "That man is a gangster from outside school. He dropped out of school very early. You definitely don't know him, Brother Qiao."
"But Luo Shanshan knows you. I guess it was the man who asked about it. Luo Shanshan confessed to you and you made you cry. Hey, don't you want to cause trouble?"
Jiang Qiao looked indifferent: "Come on, let him know what the consequences of school bullying are."
Zhou Cheng expressed doubts: "Brother Qiao, that's not a joke. He has this in his hand."
The little fat man made a scratching gesture on his neck.
"knife?"
"That's right, he went in because of a fight a few days ago."
Zhou Cheng was worried: "Brother Qiao, why don't we tell the teacher, or... call the police? It's not worth fighting for that kind of person."
