That started four years ago, the story between them.
Lin's field of expertise is "Magical Biology".
The cultivation and domestication of magical creatures, the treatment of injuries and illnesses, the collection, preparation and utilization of biological materials, directional transformation, and even attempts to imbue ordinary creatures with magical powers.
One night one year after she entered school, she tried to feed some of the newly prepared magic potion to the ornamental fish she raised.
The result was that the fish that had changed their form chewed up—no, rather ate the fish tank containing them—on the spot, flapped their fins, and began to attack all moving and immobile objects around them.
After trying several methods in succession, Lin could not calm down the fish. Instead, they tore open several wounds on her arms and calves. She had to escape from the laboratory and try to find a fish who was not resting at this time.
Tutor asks for help.
At that time, she met Yuffie who went out to check after hearing a noise.
"It looks a bit miserable." The girl tilted her head, not surprised that Lin was covered in blood, "What did you do?"
"Ha...it's nothing..." Lin leaned against the door and gasped, "a bunch of disobedient...little animals..."
Lin recognized the girl. Yuffie Steinmetz, the daughter of a minor noble in the kingdom, ranked second in the entrance exam. Her area of expertise is "Magical Structural Science" - that is, the study of magic principles and basic rules.
Research. He has a cold temperament, does not deliberately distance himself or actively get close to others, and spends most of his time in the laboratory... Perhaps this is a common problem among "Law Wizards".
There was a banging from behind the door.
"But it seems like you can't solve it on your own." The girl raised her eyebrows, "Do you need help?"
"Ah, we need it very much, but those guys are quite difficult to deal with..." Lin turned and looked behind her, "I'll be here to guard you. You can quickly find some instructors to help... Wow, wow, wow, wow?!"
Lin had obviously forgotten that how could a 'small animal' that could even be chewed into a fish tank be blocked by a mere wooden door?
"It seems like we don't have that time." Looking at the 'destroyer fish' that appeared in front of her and the door that was gradually disintegrating, the girl's voice was still calm, "... try not to kill them, right?"
Lin was suddenly curious, wouldn't she be afraid? But now was obviously not the time to delve deeper, so she nodded vigorously.
"If you have to...it doesn't matter!"
This is where the mermaid war begins.
The chaotic battle lasted for more than ten minutes. By killing six enemy fish and capturing twenty-eight fish, the two men successfully 'annihilated' their opponents.
But their condition is really not that good.
The white robe on his body was torn into a beggar's costume, and it was stained with the blood of the two people and the mucus of the fish. It was definitely impossible to wear it again. There were few intact places on the exposed skin. Those monsters
The fish's fins were like sharp blades. Lin saw with her own eyes that a fish left a scratch several centimeters deep on a hard wooden door.
Fortunately, in addition to magic, the academy also has courses on combat and survival skills... Fortunately, she did not miss the class because she considered dealing with dangerous animals, Lin thought happily.
After relaxing mentally, the previous fatigue and the tingling all over her body came back together. Lin carefully sat down on the ground, just wanting to rest like this for a while before talking.
The girl opposite sat down like Lin, and she frowned slightly as if she accidentally touched the wound. In the battle just now, the girl used an invisible force field to block or slow down many attacks for the two of them.
Otherwise they will definitely be even worse off than they are now.
"Ha... that potion actually has such an effect, and can also make creatures resistant to magic. This is a big discovery." Lin leaned half of her body against the wall, looked at the girl opposite, and tried not to let herself go
He fell asleep and said, "Thank you...and, sorry."
"But it seems that it also has the effect of making them irrational." The girl still looked as if nothing had happened, but there was a smile in her tone, "I can only say that you and I are almost unlucky... Unexpected
Destiny is also a part of life."
"Oh? In this way, we are destined to meet, right?" Lin blinked.
"Maybe." The girl said noncommittally, "But it seems that there is an expected fate waiting for you."
"Huh?"
"The fate of being scolded by a mentor." The girl turned her head and looked in the direction where the footsteps came from.
"Ugh... this is... such a bad fate." Lin looked at the mess on the ground and said with a helpless smile.
As a result, Lin was not the only one who was scolded by her mentor, Yuffie was also included.
"Why don't you hide in the room and use communication magic! Fortunately, you only suffered a slight injury. What are you going to do if a few fingers are bitten off? The first priority of a wizard is to ensure his own safety, as taught in class
Have you fed everything to the fish!?"
Such preaching lasted for more than an hour, and after that, the two of them lay in Mrs. Stewart's infirmary for two full days.
The academy's potions are very effective in healing wounds. The injuries suffered by the two of them were not serious and would not leave any traces.
It's just that Lin has been obsessed with Yuffie since then.
She took the initiative to apply to change the dormitory together, and the girl did not object. She understood that the girl was not bad at socializing, she just found it troublesome. However, because of her out-of-the-way temperament and the incidents she caused from time to time, Yuffie never tolerated it.
I really complained about her.
They ate together, took baths, hung out, prepared for exams, gave each other gifts, and 'explored' in the huge teaching building of the college...
Most of the time, Lin takes the initiative, and sometimes, Yuffie comes up with some unexpected ideas.
The relationship between the two became closer day by day.
Lin also has other friends, and the two of them have no shortage of suitors in the academy. Kelin always believes that girls are different to her.
She didn't ask Yuffie what she thought. Although she was a little curious, she knew that it didn't matter what the answer was.
Because what ties them together are all the memories of the past three years——
Just like that night conversation.
"What is Yuffie's wish...?"
The girl raised her eyebrows, as if curious why she asked this question.
"I came to this college to cure my mother's illness." Lin said softly, "The church's priests can't help it, but magic... I think it can."
The average lifespan of the Kamal people is over 150 years old. Lin is 19 years old this year and her mother is less than 50 years old. They still have a long time.
"That's right." Yuffie laughed, "Then my wish is probably... to find my mother and father who don't know where they are."
"Eh?"
The girl put her head close to Lin and lowered her voice, as if she wanted to tell some shocking secret. "I'm just going to tell you one person...my last name is not Steinmetz."
"Uh-huh?"
"Actually, I'm not sure either. My mother told me that she was going to find my real father, so she ran away alone." Yuffie laid her upper body on the bed, looked at the ceiling and recalled, "That's what I came for.
This happened a year ago. Now she occasionally sends strange letters. She recommended this school to me."
"Then I have to thank your mother." Lin nodded, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see you.
"Me too. I like it here very much. The environment, the magic knowledge, the instructors, and Lin." The girl turned her head and saw Lin's cheeks were a little red, "I will tell them all these things."
."
I will definitely do it, Lin said to herself. During my time in this academy, there are countless memories worth sharing with others.
