There was a turning sound of keys and the thick wooden door creaked. A black-haired girl opened the door and returned to this quiet residence.
There is a lamp on the bedside in the bedroom. The bright yellow light is not too bright, but it also brings a little warmth in the dark night.
"Loland is back." The red-haired girl in the room stood up a little excitedly when she saw Lorraine Hill coming back, and followed Lorraine Hill into the spacious laboratory where things were kept, like a slow-walking bird. , circling around her, curiously watching Lorraine Hill take out items one by one from the storage ring.
"When did Keti wake up?" Lorraine Hill tied up her hair in a familiar manner, and then began to prepare dinner for her roommate who had been sleeping for several days.
"When the sun was about to set, I woke up and didn't see Luo Lan, so I stayed in the room and read a book." Keti looked like she was ready to praise me for my good behavior.
"Yeah, Keti is great." Lorraine Hill touched Keti's red hair, then took out some potatoes he bought the night before and asked Keti to help peel them.
"Just peel off the skin, remember not to roast it over fire." The girl recalled the last time, Keti directly turned the potatoes into red black charcoal.
"I know."
Although extraordinary abilities are indeed very convenient in life, occasionally Lorraine Hill will still make something with his own hands, maybe this will be more realistic.
First cut the purple onions in half and soak them in water. Then cut the meat you bought tonight into pink and white strips. Then cut the potatoes, green peppers, and onions into shreds. Then add them to the pot and stir-fry. Already.
An iron pot was placed on the small stove originally used to heat the crucible. The hot oil was sizzling, and various ingredients were tumbling in it. Then salt and seasonings were added, and an appetizing aroma suddenly burst out.
While the dishes were just coming out of the pot, Lorraine Hill asked Keti to serve two dinners, and the two of them sat at the small table by the window and ate.
Speaking of which, Lorraine Hill only started cooking at school this semester. In the past, when he was in the first grade, he usually cooked something or made snacks and pastries with Bumansha. The main reason was that the kitchen in the first-year dormitory was too small. There are no suitable kitchen utensils, and the dormitories are too close together. If I do it, I am afraid it will attract curiosity from the students from the four or five dormitories nearby.
The place I live in this year is much better. The walls are extremely thick, the sound insulation effect is good, there are not many students around, and the roommates also eat whatever they want, so they don’t have to think too much about taste.
"Delicious, Lorraine."
After finishing the food on the plate, Keti made a happy sound.
--------------------------
On the other side of the academy, Osuna had just attended the celebration dinner after the game. Although she didn't win the championship, her runner-up result was remarkable, and there was no reason to give up.
At the banquet, Osuna maintained a smile on the surface and thanked those who supported her, but she was actually a little absent-minded in her heart. She was a little uncomfortable losing the game, but then Jie Lanen and the people from the 'True Red Rose' club appeared, and she This made her even more unable to accept it.
There seemed to be a kind of depression in her heart that could not be vented, and it had been stuck there, but in order to maintain her image, she still had to keep a forced smile. After the dinner, she said that she was tired today and needed to rest, so she declined some subsequent activities. , left the restaurant.
In the next few weeks, she began to inquire about the black-haired girl in various indirect ways. As she learned more and more information, she became more and more sure of her previous thoughts.
This girl named Lorraine often misses some classes, sometimes not showing up for several days in a row. Not only that, there is almost a blank about her past. Although she looks like an Oriental, she is from Crancia.
, which was the former West Wind Kingdom.
But Osuna herself had also been in the West Wind noble circle before. Considering that she and Lorraine were similar in age, and the other's appearance was so outstanding, he should have been famous for a long time. Who would be a serious person who would live in seclusion since childhood? She is like this
It's just a lie.
The reason why he said he was from Crancia was probably because the country had just been established and in the chaos of dynasty changes, household registration and past events were covered up by wars and upheavals, making it easier to set his origin.
"It would be fine if you were as unknown as before, but now that you have stood up, you have to accept doubts and inquiries from all sides. I want to see how long you can maintain your aloof appearance?" Osuna
I secretly made up my mind and started planning.
A few days later, various news began to spread in the college.
"Did you hear about it? She's the girl who won the 'Rainneck Bottle' competition before." The two students sitting on the magic locomotive were talking to each other, which was the thread bound for the northern tower.
"What's the matter? I heard that she is quite beautiful and has a good temperament."
"It was like this at first, but now some people say that her results are fake. Think about it. Over the years, Emenas has had countless amazing geniuses, but none of them can invent the pearl level while still in school.
Pharmacy. Refining medicine is unlike anything else. It requires not only talent, but also a lot of experience and operational understanding. This cannot be cultivated in just a few years..." A student said in a serious analysis.
"It seems to make some sense." The classmate nodded.
"Let me tell you, besides, if you see that she often doesn't come to class, she must be doing something shady. The same goes for the teachers at the school. No one cares about this kind of thing."
Although many people did not believe this news, some students eventually began to be dubious.
It's another Wednesday. Today is the alchemy and pharmacy class. Lorraine Hill did not appear in class because she is studying medicine at Temple College.
One of Osuna's followers asked the teacher in class why Loren, a classmate, often didn't come to class.
The teacher stood on the podium and looked at the curious eyes of the audience. He raised his hand slightly to ask everyone to quiet down.
"I know that you may have heard some rumors recently, but in Emenas, the sages think more and know more than you do."
"Everyone's doubts are unnecessary. Strength is strength. Miss Luolan's talent and attainments are indeed beyond most people. The current courses are not very useful to her, so she will spend more time in
Study on your own.”
"If you also want to be like her and not come to class from time to time, that's fine. As long as you can get the top three in the competition, even if you don't come to class for a period of time, I will rate you as excellent."
"This has nothing to do with fairness, it's just that everyone's growth and learning methods are different. I hope everyone will pay less attention to such boring rumors and focus on their own learning and improvement. The good or bad of outsiders has nothing to do with you.
.”
When he said the last sentence, the teacher's eyes seemed to be warning the student not to spread such false rumors anymore, and he sat down with a slight fright.
