The afternoon course is still about basic knowledge. The combat skills class that was originally the most anticipated was forced to change from a practical class to a theoretical class due to the contaminated knowledge in the mysterious class.
This is the specialty of divination. They talked about the advantages of divination, and even several divination students tried to get Lu Li interested in divination.
Lu Li stopped looking for Professor Hagrid, and the exposure of his whereabouts cast a shadow on this ivory tower.
At dinner time, Lu Li and other students went to the auditorium to have dinner.
According to the custom, the dog meat was taken from the piles of pumpkin pies, and they were eaten roughly one after another.
In fact, many students eat food in an inelegant way, and some, such as dog meat, eat very quickly and urgently. Most of them have the same characteristics: they come from the poor or a small town outside Midnight City.
Only after getting familiar with Giant Tree Academy, these students realized that no one would compete with them for food or for the sake of face, and they gradually returned to normal.
Dog meat was an exception. On the third day, he was no different from the first day he entered school. He grabbed the food tightly, as if the food would grow legs and run away at any time. Then he ate it all over his face, and ate all the residue on his face without wasting it.
.
But there will be changes eventually. Dogrou's low growl like a wild dog protecting his food when he first started eating has changed to occasionally raising his head to talk to Lu Li.
"Why don't you smile?"
The surroundings became quieter. The students were curious about everything about Lu Li, including Fudote who seemed to stop her knife and fork inadvertently.
"I have no reason to laugh." Lu Li said calmly while stirring the mashed potatoes drizzled with chicken soup.
"The food is delicious, the water is clear, the light is bright, the room is warm..." Gourou said vaguely, grinning: "I like it here, so I am very happy. I want to be happy."
Laugh! Just like crying when you are sad, or... getting... angry when you are angry!"
Emotions come from interactions with the outside world. Dogrou gets satisfaction from the academy, so he will be happy.
But without Lu Li's tragic experience, college life would not satisfy him. Even if he did, Lu Li would not show his emotions.
Lu Li remembered what Catalina said "try to change yourself" not long after he met her.
They always seemed to hope that Lu Li would become less cold and rational.
But inertia is a terrible force. It will push you and force you to stop.
"Smart people hide their emotions." Fodort twirled the spoon in the broth at the bottom of the bowl. She finished eating, leaving only the conversation with Lu Li.
Gourou raised his head blankly: "I thought you were very smart..."
After scraping the spoon at the bottom of the bowl, Fodort, who understood the meaning of Gorou's expression, was about to get angry, but suddenly thought that doing so would confirm Gorou's words, so she pretended to be indifferent as an adult.
"And Mr. Lu Li looks like the faces of the dead people I saw." Gorou said again, "Dead people are definitely not smart."
"You can try to put it more harshly." Fodort couldn't help but sarcastically said.
"Why?"
"Then Jushu Academy might give you an award for being ugly at this year's New Year's party."
Before Lu Li had time to ask Fudot what the New Year's party was, she had already left her seat and passed behind him.
"Wait and thank me." Fodort raised her neck and left as proudly as a swan.
After Lu Li finished his dinner, he returned to his dormitory to rest.
There was still some time before lights out, and Lu Li realized that he had missed one thing. He should have borrowed some books after returning from the library.
It's obviously too late to go now, and the gatekeeper will only block him.
The wooden windows behind the curtains were closed tightly, and nothing could be seen at this time.
Thinking about the conspiracy that haunted him, Lu Li slowly fell asleep before turning off the lights.
…
"...The erupting lion Todkin escaped from the strange lair town. But his injuries were too serious, even the gods could not save him. He only had time to leave a way to release the cursed title and died in the town of the gods."
"We have been studying for two years and trying to find ways to weaken its side effects. Although this will weaken the power of the cursed title released, the price is no longer unbearable."
Realizing that the students no longer care about the cursed title after hearing "weakening", Professor Hagrid said to the students seriously: "Don't underestimate the power of the cursed title. Even if it is weakened, the power it explodes is greater than any of our own powers."
All powerful... with the right cursed title, you can even take on a ghoul predator with ease."
"If you know the five major knights, you will also know their strict threshold for joining. But if you master the power to release the cursed title, you will be specially recruited to skip the retinue and become an official knight of the knights."
"Professor Hagrid, this isn't easy, is it?"
"Yes. So I hope you will absorb enough knowledge, obtain the cursed title of the swamp and the strange jungle, and try to release the cursed title."
Professor Hagrid sighed at this. Perhaps only a few of the hundreds of students in the classroom could succeed, and Lu Li still occupied one of them.
"Then the course on cursed titles is over. I will continue the introductory course on occultism tomorrow."
Professor Hagrid stopped the hourglass that was still as thick as his fingers: "Well... there is still some left, enough for you to take combat skills lessons."
The students who were still immersed in the fantasy of releasing the cursed title and joining the Knights turned away and cheered.
The student named Senger cheered the loudest.
After the morning class ended, Lu Li went straight to the mixed area to attend Professor Chris's invitation.
The skinny gatekeeper stopped Lu Li as expected.
"Professor Chris and I have an appointment to meet today."
But it seemed useless. The gatekeeper only followed the rules: "I don't think Professor Chris told you that juniors can't leave this floor under any circumstances, right?"
Lu Li summoned the businessman Anthony and asked him to go to Professor Chris's office.
Soon the businessman Anthony returned and told Lu Li that she was not there.
The businessman took Lu Li's letter to Professor Chris and disappeared. Lu Li also left the mixed area and went to the auditorium for lunch.
However, until the last combat skills class ended in the afternoon, businessman Anthony still could not find Professor Chris and did not reply but the letter he left behind was missing.
Professor Chris seemed to know that Lu Li was trapped in the canopy, but did nothing.
Rather than a test, Lu Li thought it was some kind of bad taste or an active invitation in the hope that Lu Li could visit other academic levels.
But because of the conspiracy, Lu Li couldn't let others take him out of this layer.
Until the reason for his whereabouts is revealed, he will keep a distance from everyone.
After dinner, Lu Li thought of a way.
Back in the dormitory, Lu Li took out the bottle of alienation potion that would change his own form.
Professor Chris did not take it back or warn Lu Li. It was obviously qualified and safe. Prepared to restore the sesame oil for his body, Lu Li took the sweet potion without hesitation.
The obscure power took over Lu Li's body, and his body collapsed like melting. In an instant, all that was left was a pile of clothes piled on the floor.
Suddenly there was a rustling sound under the quiet pile of clothes, which gradually grew louder. An elegant and dark black cat like a shadow emerged from underneath.
