The apricot flowers in the Central School Building are in bloom. The light pink and white apricot flowers are in full bloom on the branches. In the middle of the petals are slender filaments and light yellow stamens. There are not many leaves on the branches at this season, so the flowers replace the usual ones.
The position of the leaves, the pieces of light pink and white, slightly bend the branches, decorating both sides of the road very beautifully.
Emenas has also entered April, and the beauty of the student days is still going on on campus.
A girl with black rabbit ears was walking on the tree-lined avenue with her classmates carrying a small schoolbag. Unlike her companions, she deliberately walked on the raised stone steps on the edge of the road because the road was isolated.
The stone steps on the grass next to it are relatively narrow, so you can only put one foot forward and back, just like walking on a single-plank bridge.
"Alia, are you afraid of falling when you walk like this?" asked a girl with long pink hair walking next to her. This girl had a light yellow hairpin inlaid with gems pinned to her forehead.
"No, Fengano." Aaliyah stretched out her two hands, roughly like a cross, to maintain balance.
"Don't you think this is interesting?" The two rabbit ears on Aaliyah's head swayed. If you get closer, you can see some shorter hairs on the back of the ears.
"Really?"
Feng Nai didn't believe it. She had received the education of a young lady since she was a child. Although she was sometimes willful, she still paid attention to her image in public.
"Uh-huh, yes." Aaliyah continued.
"Have you ever been to a forest? There are actually no roads in the forest. There are also many dead leaves piled up. There are dense grasses growing on the ground. Some grasses have round leaves and are tender green, although they are more beautiful.
, but it’s also easy to hide what’s underneath.”
"When you step on it, it's hard to know whether there is a puddle, mud, something sharp underneath, or whether a small snake, centipede or other insect will jump out of it."
"Stop talking, I hate bugs." Feng Nai waved his hand to stop him.
"So, when walking in the woods, you should step on hard stones. Although it is a bit troublesome, it will be cleaner and more practical. I discovered this when I was a child, so I prefer to step on stones."
"Although the school environment is very good, walking on such narrow stone steps is interesting." Aaliya walked forward briskly, then jumped up, and then landed firmly on the stone steps.
Looking at Aaliyah's agile and extremely balanced movements, Feng Nao said with envy: "Aaliyah, are all you Rabbit Ears like this? Your bodies are so flexible."
"This, in fact, if you have lived in the forest since childhood, you can definitely do it. As for me, I have also seen that adult walking in the forest, like a leisurely stroll. Although she is a human, I don't think there are any rabbit ears.
The clan is more powerful than her."
"Who is that adult?" Feng Nai heard Aaliya mention this unknown adult more than once, but so far she still doesn't know who it is. She only roughly knows the adult's appearance from her description.
Extremely beautiful, rich in knowledge, and very philosophical, an almost perfect existence.
But if you don’t actually see such a person, it would be difficult to imagine and believe it.
"This is a forbidden matter, you can't say it casually." Aaliyah shook her ears and refused.
"Well..."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, Feng Na, have you heard some interesting stories recently?"
"What's the matter?" Feng Nai also became interested at this time. She had just entered school and was interested in everything.
"There is an ancient secret technique being circulated on campus recently, which can greatly develop one's potential and talent, making your strength greatly improve, with advanced steps and breakthroughs."
"Is it so powerful? Then why has no one used it before?" Feng Nai didn't believe it. She used to live in a businessman's family, so she naturally knew the various praising and publicity methods used by businesses.
"It is said that it was excavated from the ruins not long ago. Because it is still being tested, not many people know about it."
"That's it. Then what do the sages say about this?"
"I don't know. It seems that no sage is paying attention to this matter. In fact, I don't know much. I heard it from the orc society. Because there are not many orcs among us, we are relatively united in the school. What kind of intelligence information and so on?
We will all share it.”
"That's it." Feng Nao continued to walk side by side with Aaliyah on the avenue.
"I'll ask the elders I know later. She knows more about cultivation methods. I'm not in a hurry about improving my strength. That adult actually advised me to learn more about how to make clothes and design.
Styles and the like, she said this is much more interesting than making money by killing people."
"Giggle, that's actually true." Feng Nai covered her mouth and said with a smile.
"If you cannot create more value after improving your strength, then blindly pursuing strength is actually a waste of money."
"This is what the adult taught me. She told us to farm and develop well. With abundant resources and foundation, other things will gradually come to us."
Aaliyah looked up at the blue sky and said happily.
"We, the Rabbit-Ears tribe, believe this and bear witness to this."

Tower Academy in the North, Tidal Stone Tower.
The early morning sunlight shines in from the round window and shines on the oak floor. The fireplace in the common room is burning with a small flame. Two students in robes are leaning casually on the sofa under the slanting sunlight, seemingly
They haven't fully woken up yet, and are slowly waiting for the oatmeal being cooked in the fireplace, which is their breakfast.
With a click, the outer door of the lounge opened, and a young man with messy hair walked in. His skin was white and there were deep shadows under his eyes, which were signs of staying up late for a long time.
"Is Jack back?"
"Um."
"Are you staying up late doing research in the laboratory again? Alas, your body will easily collapse if you continue like this." One of the students asked with some concern.
"Thank you." Jack replied simply, then walked to his door, took out the key from his arms, opened the door, and then hid in someone's bedroom.
Since his roommate has graduated, no new people will come in this year, so he lives alone.
After returning to the room, he first took off his clothes, then went to the bathroom and turned on the shower head, bathing in the steaming hot water.
The warm water flowed through his body. He closed his eyes and carefully washed his hair. A soothing feeling slowly filled his heart.
It had been so long since he had relaxed like this, and he couldn't even remember it. He went to and from the laboratory, classroom, dining room, and dormitory day after day, living a boring life that kept repeating.
Sometimes he also envies those leisurely and comfortable classmates, but he can't be like that. He is no longer a freshman or sophomore, and Emenas's promotion assessment is like a sharp sword hanging above his head, making some stagnant.
of students feel urgent and tremendous pressure.
He has been stuck here for three years since he entered the third grade. If he is not promoted to the fourth grade this year, his study career will end here, and the school will only issue him a brown graduation certificate.
Instead of a white diploma.
Such an evaluation is difficult to call excellent. Generally, to enter large institutions and organizations, you need at least a dark green graduation certificate issued after the fourth grade. After you come out, you will either enter an ordinary organization or work alone, and the magic sequence is a process that pays attention to technical inheritance.
I don’t know how much time and energy would be wasted if I were to explore the sequence on my own, and the instruments and materials would be a huge expense if I had to bear them myself.
The design of the last experiment was his last attempt, but unfortunately it failed. He no longer had any extra credits to exchange for instruments and materials. There was no progress on the subject, and his own strength had stagnated. This seemed to be the end.
The end of hope, there is no way forward.
However, the mysterious man he met that night gave him a new possibility, a strange secret technique, and a strange seed of power.
As a result, most of the closed doors were opened again, and the stagnant extraordinary core glowed with strange changes. He finally advanced to Sequence 6 last night and entered a new world.
Is this what it feels like to have power?
Jack opened his eyes in the bathing water and watched the water droplets in the room suddenly stop, hang in the air, and then rotate around him, and his body became dry and clean.
