In the early morning two days later, Boom and Rikka came to the gate of the Secret Magic Union again. Today is the day when the Imperial College announces the admission list, and it is also the first day of the warm month.
The opening remarks were clear and brief, first praising King Ogu, and then mourning the death of the third prince. But what everyone was most concerned about was the name written in the parchment. p>
The residents of the royal city surrounded the square. There were reporters from Magic Monthly, mercenaries and merchants who were doing good things, and countless young girls looking for husbands. They were talking, making noises, and shouting. In their eyes, those
Those admitted to the Imperial College are the elites and their future masters or husbands.
"Next, I will announce the admission list of this year's Imperial College." The clerk of the Secret Magic Union cleared his throat and said. As soon as these words came out, the crowd calmed down instantly, and even the applicants who were still a little drowsy at first,
They also cheered up and pricked up their ears.
Time passed by, and half an hour later, there were less than twenty people left in the square. As for those who were unsuccessful, they turned around and squeezed out of the crowd. Among these twenty people, there was a boy with a somewhat cold face.
He was lowering his head, completely ignoring the scrutinizing glances from all around.
This person is Boom. He is in a very complicated mood right now. He wants to enter the academy to accelerate his growth, but he doesn't like such crowded scenes. Rikka, who is crowded in the crowd, has already suppressed her blush. She
I didn’t dare to congratulate Boom out loud, so I had to send endless blessings with my eyes.
The entrance ceremony was scheduled for a week later. Boom, who was about to leave, was surrounded by countless crowds like everyone else. But fortunately, he looked extremely ordinary. After some pushing, he finally came to Rikka.
.
On the complete opposite side of Yu Bum, there are the new students who are enjoying themselves like stars. Some of them are chatting, some are pretending to be sophisticated, and some are happily accepting the businessman's arms.
gold coins, and some even found their "dream lover" on the spot.
But just when Boom was about to leave with Rikka, a certain noble boy stopped them both.
"I am a noble and a junior knight who already has the status of viscount. I would like to ask you if you will attend tonight's banquet? If you have a formal dress." The noble boy's words gradually made the crowd quiet down. Only then did everyone realize that there were still others.
Such a civilian who was admitted is probably still a poor person.
"I don't have a dress, and I can't afford it, so I won't disturb everyone's enjoyment and say goodbye." Boom frowned, and then inadvertently distanced himself from Rikka by a small distance.
"It doesn't matter. Since we all live together in the Imperial Academy from now on, we can be considered our own people. I still have a few servants' clothes here. I hope you won't refuse." Hearing this, the noble boy became more sure of his guess.
The unfounded contempt gradually amplified.
He is a nobleman who inherited his dead father's name. He came all the way this time, firstly to enter the Imperial Academy, and secondly to find an opportunity to revive the family's glory. Therefore, after nearly losing all his money in lobbying, he finally made the final decision.
A person entered the Imperial Academy with his identity, thanks to a certain money-grubbing reviewer.
Therefore, he really couldn't stand Boom, or he couldn't stand that poor people like Boom were about to be equal to him, so he just acted in such a provocative way. His purpose was very simple, to take advantage of Boom's embarrassment when he made a fool of himself.
, to highlight his nobility. In his eyes, the other party is just an ordinary person who was lucky enough to be admitted. There is no way he can be compared with a genius as talented as himself.
"No need, he's just a poor man, not worthy of participating in such a party." Boom still lowered his head. To outsiders, his behavior was a sign of submission, submission, and a very ugly behavior.
"No, no, no, as a partner of the Imperial Academy, you can't refuse my kindness, and as a poor person, you can't negotiate terms with me." The aristocratic young man became more and more arrogant, his words full of sarcasm.
"Or if you can learn to bark like a dog, then I won't embarrass you anymore." Seeing that the other party had no reaction, the noble young man continued to speak loudly.
The crowd's eyes fell on Boom at this moment, which made him very uncomfortable. Joking, ridicule, sarcasm, sanctimony, familiar scenes emerged in his mind. How long had it been since he had been despised like this, a month? Two
Month? Or three months? Boom wants to laugh, wants to laugh out loud, because this feeling is so good, so good that he seems to be back before the dark rainy night, so good that he seems to be back to those days when he was hungry
.
However, Rikka, who was hidden under the gray linen hood, now changed from her usual playful smile. A steel knife appeared in her hand at some point, and even the petal magic pattern faintly appeared on her forehead.
"Woof woof woof! I am a dog, the meanest dog. I can only wag my tail and beg for mercy all day long. I wake up to eat, and when I am full, I hibernate." After noticing the strange changes in Rikka from the corner of his eyes, Boom yelled like a scoundrel.
Get up. His voice was a little weird, which made everyone laugh.
"Master, I think I'm hungry and I'm going to look for food. Goodbye!" Boom jumped out of the crowd, while the laughter behind him continued.
"Bah! How did such a scoundrel sneak into the Imperial Academy?" Beside the noble boy, the only remaining poor student among the nineteen people was the first to shout.
At this time, Boom was still looking crazy, until he turned into an alley.
In the darkness, he quickly took off the black mage robe and put on the old clothes he usually wore. Rikka, who was always following him, was leaning at the entrance of the alley, looking at the people passing by.
The passers-by lowered their heads and remained silent. The steel knife shook slightly, and the knuckles attached to it were pale and stiff.
"Brother, I'm sorry, this is all my fault." After returning to the black market courtyard, Rikka leaned on the wooden board in the attic, her face full of tears.
"Hey, how could this be your fault? It's obvious that the noble man was too stingy. After watching such a wonderful performance of mine, he refused to even give me a copper coin." Boom leaned against the window indifferently.
By the way, not only was there no resentment in his eyes, but he was even filled with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
"Wow..." Rikka was stunned at first when she heard this, but then she rushed into Boom's arms and burst into tears. She was really angry to death. Her brother had finally been able to enter the Imperial Academy, but who knew that
Being humiliated in public by those people, he even had to bark like a dog to escape. Moreover, in times of crisis, my brother deliberately drew a clear line with himself, because only in this way could his special identity be concealed.
"Don't cry, that bullshit Imperial Academy is probably just like that. It seems that I am still suitable for practicing alone. Although it is a bit slower, it is better than being disturbed." Boom stroked Rikka's little head, feeling helpless.
said.
"Also, starting from today, I will temporarily hide in the attic for a while. Who knows what the consequences will be if I am suddenly absent after being admitted to the Imperial Academy." Boom patted Rikka on the back, as if the master was comforting him.
Like his own pet, the latter gradually calmed down.
"Besides, after you wash this dress for me, it will be covered with your snot." Hearing this, Liuhua finally burst into tears and smiled. She kept nudging Boom with her little head, but her arms were wrapped around her.
