"By the way, I have to attend a class later. I hope these big guys can be more at ease..."
Char thought with some worry: "It is said that tens of thousands of academies in the wizarding world will conduct a unified competition this time to conduct intensive training for the best young people to cultivate mainstays for future wars. I hope I can also have the opportunity.
…Forget it, it’s not reliable, it’s enough to get Saya a place…”
For himself, Char is still not very confident in his heart. In his eyes, he may be pretty good, but compared with the tens of thousands of geniuses in the wizarding world, he is still far behind. Only true talents like Saya are
Only geniuses have a chance to compete with them.
Just as he was thinking about how to help Saya get a place, a hoarse voice sounded in his ear: "What do you seem to be worried about?"
He was startled instinctively and turned his head quickly.
What caught his eye was an old man about two meters tall, wearing a black robe, whose figure could not be seen clearly.
Only half of the old man's face was made of flesh and blood, and the other half was made of brown machinery. Char could even see that the mechanical gears were rotating steadily.
Looking at the other party's calm eyes, Char felt as if he had no secrets in front of the other party. He couldn't help but become nervous. After some hesitation, he blushed and said: "There is nothing to worry about..."
The other party looked around expressionlessly at the other people around him, and said calmly: "Really, maybe that's true, but as an elder, I think I should remind you that it's useless to just think about many things, because people
Our vision and energy are limited, and the so-called plans are also limited by this, and they must have their own limitations, so there is no perfect plan. The best way to deal with things is always to improve yourself as much as possible.
As long as you are capable enough, no matter how big the problem is, you can solve it."
Char gritted his teeth and explained: "But..."
"Are you doubting your ability?"
Before he could finish speaking, the old man saw what he was saying and interrupted mercilessly: "People can never doubt whether they can do it, because when you doubt yourself, it means you really can't do it, so
No matter what the result is, just keep moving forward, and you must not be confused or hesitant before you finally get the result."
After saying that, he turned around and left without changing his expression, no longer paying attention to Charles's changing expression.
--------
In order to cope with the coming war, the college gave up free-range training, and now students are trained intensively by the best instructors.
Among them, those instructors who are not strong enough are also pulled by stronger instructors for training and reinvention.
Among these people was Char's less than serious mentor, Todd.
He never dreamed that at over four hundred years old, he could still live as an apprentice and be tortured with a spoon-fed education!
Sitting in his seat, he listened to the instructor's explanation on the stage in a daze. Char couldn't explain what he was thinking. He felt like a wild dog that had been stepped on by someone and had a painful foot. He was completely unable to refute the old man's words.
.
Unconfidence in himself, confusion about the future, and frustration came to his mind: 'Do I really want to spend my life like this...'
At this moment, a hand holding something quietly reached out to Charles and lightly poked his waist twice.
He turned around and found that the owner of that hand was Saya, who was looking at him happily: "Hey! Char, this thing tastes really good, I think you will like it!"
She took what he handed to her and took a bite.
Feel the taste in your mouth.
Looking at his smiling face, Char looked dazed for a moment, then asked: "Saya, do you have any goals in this life?"
"Target?"
Hearing this question, Saya scratched his head, thought for a while and said:
"...If I really want to say it, I would like to take a look from a high place.
The education I received from my father and mother since I was a child is to climb up and climb to the highest level you can. Only in this way will you have no regrets in life.
So, if I really want to talk about my goals in life, I want to stand at the highest point. Even if it is just for a second, I feel that this life is worth it!"
"That's it..."
After listening, Char nodded and said seriously: "I will help you, Saya."
Since you have no goals in life and no direction to move forward, then help Saya accomplish his goals.
If Saya can achieve his life goal, then Char feels that he can also feel the joy and glory...
Smiling and shrugging, Saya replied nonchalantly: "Thank you then!"
Even in his opinion, the so-called goal in life is indeed a bit far away. After all, so-called dreams can usually only be thought about in dreams, so he didn't take Char's words to heart very much, thinking that the other party was just casually saying them.
Just what you said.
He never expected that his only friend was really ready to take action on this.
After eating, he looked at Char's extremely serious look while listening to the class. Although Saya was a little confused, he didn't take it to heart. After all, he knew about Char's hard work and diligence, but he was just a little confused. The other person's expression seemed to be.
There was some kind of change, and he became more solemn inexplicably, as if he had devoted himself wholeheartedly to some sacred cause, which made Saya a little confused.
‘???’
After thinking for a moment in confusion, Saya decided to give up thinking about that problem.
After all, paying more attention to the lectures was not a bad thing no matter how you thought about it, so I gathered my somewhat distracted attention, focused all my attention on the podium, and started studying seriously.
------
Three months later.
Standing in the audience, looking at Char on the stage, he won the first place in this year's [Wizard World All-Academy Unified Competition].
Saya, who only got more than thirty points in the exam, had questions in her head and couldn't help but doubt her life.
I was very confused and thought: 'What happened? Wasn't it inferior to me not long ago? Why was I thrown so far away?'
Although he was a little confused, he did not feel any jealousy. Instead, he was secretly happy that the other party's efforts had paid off.
Because he regards the other person as a friend from the bottom of his heart, and friends should not care about those things.
'In a person's life, there must always be a few friends who get along sincerely, people who can understand each other. Their relationship may be closer than relatives or lovers. When you meet them, you will
I can feel the feeling of being a close friend.'
He has never forgotten his mother's teachings. For him, Char, who grew up with him and can understand and support each other, is the kind of confidant who is not mixed with any negative emotions.
'Perhaps I am too lazy and have forgotten that for wizards, strength is the most important thing. It is indeed a bit irrational to focus on developing a group...'
He secretly made up his mind to make up for his previous laxity, make up for what he had left behind, and catch up with Char who was striding out.
