Yuffie put down her pen and looked at her results with satisfaction. The parchment was densely filled with words, and several complex figures were drawn on it. The handwriting on the paper was fresh and neat, and from a distance, it had a regular beauty.
.
She looked at it for a while, and after making sure that the ink on it was dry, she carefully picked up the parchment and placed it on the third layer of the shelf. There were already a lot of papers stacked there, and this one was also one of them. Yuffie
Cover them with cotton cloth and press with a piece of smooth and transparent calcite.
She turned to look at Lin. Lin held her chin with one hand and deliberately turned her face away from her. Yuffie laughed and hugged her from behind, "This is the end. It's finally done."
Lin stuck out her tongue and raised her head to look at her. "Fortunately, my major subject does not require a graduation thesis. I can't bear to stay in the house for half the summer." She held Yuffie's hand and stood up, pulling her towards her.
Went out. "It's been a long time since we went out together."
That paper on magic amplification technology has indeed taken up most of her time recently. She will be with her today, but...
"At least let me change my clothes first." Yuffie opened the cabinet and took a moment to clean herself up.
It was afternoon. The two of them were bathing in the warm sunshine and walking along the edge of the college tower.
The tower is called "Elbein" and is as conspicuous as a landmark in the water city where they live. The outer wall is made of pure white rock and is about 60 meters high. The top is slightly wider than the bottom. The academy classrooms are located high
The fourth floor of the tower, the dormitories are on the third floor, and below are laboratories, lounges and warehouses. Yuffie and Lin once went to the upper level for 'exploration'. They found a library that could only be entered by answering various strange questions.
A small room where people experience different fantastic dreams, a living fire that tells stories, and a huge mirror that glows like stars. The highest place they have been to is the dean's office - it is on the ninth floor.
The name of the dean is Myrny Eagle. He is an ordinary-looking old man without a beard. He is somewhat different from the wizard in fairy tales. He bakes the little ones himself, which are a little burnt.
Cookie entertained the two of them and pointed out the books they should read. However, Yuffie believed that Eagle was not the old man's true identity.
"Hey? Why?" She remembered Lin's confused voice at that time. "Is it because he doesn't look like a money-grubbing person?"
In Kamal, that name sounds a bit like "Desire for Money", which is a bad joke. Yuffie hit Lin on the shoulder.
"That's a reason. The main reason is that this name is too common." Her eyes sparkled, "Wizards are much richer than ordinary people, but this tower that accommodates all of us is not something we can simply own.
And don’t forget what happened in the history of magic course when the academy was first established.”
Lin nodded to express her understanding, "Yuffie, what kind of person do you think the principal is?"
Yuffie curled her head with her index finger, which was her habitual movement when thinking, "Have you heard of the name "Miracle Troupe"?"
"Hmm... that powerful mercenary group that suddenly disappeared twenty years ago?" Lin didn't seem to care much, "I wasn't born yet at that time."
Yuffie nodded, pursed her lips, and seemed to be in a good mood. "Perhaps the principal is one of them."
They later met with the dean many times, but did not ask about this matter. In Yuffie's words, it was best to keep guesses at all.
Yuffie raised her head and saw that the sky was clear blue. She held the hand of her friend beside her and whispered a spell.
The shimmering white wings spread out from behind the two of them, and the breeze lifted their bodies. Flying is one of the dreams of mankind no matter when and where. Yuffie and Lin have experienced more than one way to fly into the sky.
Including riding magical beasts and sitting on a broom or blanket, but the current way makes people experience the joy of flying the most. The two held hands, feeling the cool breeze blowing on their faces, and landed on the platform at the top of the tower.
This is a good resting place, quiet and warm, and is sometimes used as a place for confession. Apart from the two of them, there is only one male student taking a nap on the recliner. You can see most of the platform from the edge of the platform.
The City of Water, as well as the college square and the 'artificial lake' on one side - the product of an experimental accident by several students last year, are now home to all kinds of strange aquatic creatures, and occasionally one or two huge arms and legs can be seen above the water.
wave.
"Hey, Yuffie." Lin's voice sounded a little erratic, "After you leave the academy, you are going to find your parents?"
To her surprise, Yuffie shook her head, "No." She said with a smile, "At least not right away."
"Mom is very powerful. It won't take a day or two to find her. She promised me she would come back, and she will definitely come back." Yuffie looked into Lin's eyes, "In contrast, I want to see you.
Mother, it’s always good to have one more person, isn’t it?”
Lin rushed forward and hugged her, "After that." She whispered, "If you go to find them, I will be with you. This is our agreement."
"That's right." Yuffie rubbed her cheek, "This is our agreement." She paused, "Before that, let's get good grades in the graduation exam."
"Okay, this is what you would say." Lin let her go, "It's still early, let's have a try!"
The two spent some time on the roof of the building. They reviewed the key points of each course with each other and practiced some spells. When the sun went down, the two walked out of the gate of the college and walked to a store nearby that they often visited.
.The academy does not charge tuition fees, and students who produce research results can also receive considerable rewards. Neither Yuffie nor Lin will be in financial embarrassment.
They had dinner there. Today they had butter-baked potatoes, which Yuffie liked, and tomato soup, which Lin liked. The owner of the tavern provided them with free drinks. Yuffie used magic to create waiters to serve everyone, and Lin performed a few performances.
This illusion also caused several brave drinkers to float in the air, winning a lot of applause.
This may be the desire of the dean, Yuffie thought. Maybe one day, magic will be simple enough, and most people can use this convenient and interesting power. That is what she wants to work hard for, she loves it so much
magic.
Night falls. 'Tess' hangs high in the night sky, like a huge silver plate, emitting a cool silvery white light. She will show the appearance of this moment four times in a year, each time representing the current season.
Half of it has passed. As taught in the college course, El is a huge sphere floating in the void of the main material plane, and the same is true for the sun and 'Tess'. There are many similar ones in more distant places.
Spheres, some inhabited by beings different from them, can only be reached through extremely long astral journeys.
Unfortunately, teleportation magic has lost its effectiveness because it cannot connect to the star world. The other side of the ocean is also difficult to reach because of a huge storm that will never disappear. Is there magic in the unreachable distance, and what will it look like?
?
The noise in the tavern came from behind, and people who went out to enjoy the coolness were sitting on the roadside chatting. The mother held her child and sang ancient nursery rhymes softly. Two craftsmen finished their day's work and passed by them blowing cowhide.
A crow sat on the top of the tree, chirping hoarsely from time to time. It is the communication between people, and even every living thing, that makes the world so lively.
Yuffie held Lin's hand and walked towards the academy.
It has only been five years since she came here, but she feels that this place is as friendly as her hometown. It has only been four years since she became friends with Lin, which is less than one-thirtieth of her life based on average life expectancy.
