32. Awakening Ritual (Part I)


When the first rays of the morning sun shone into the attic, Fanny pushed open the door and walked in, looking at me with a slightly helpless expression.Maybe she couldn't bear to wake me up, she opened the white curtains, and the already bright sky shook me so brightly that I couldn't open my eyes, I woke up from my sleep in a daze, and looked at Fanny with an obviously unhappy face in a daze, and then I suddenly overslept, originally today was the registration day for the magic awakening ceremony, if I went too late, I might have to wait until tomorrow to participate in the awakening ceremony, almost every year at this time, almost every year at this time, almost all the twelve-year-old children in El City will gather at the War College, waiting in line to participate in the awakening ceremony.Last year, I couldn't resist my curiosity about this grand ceremony, and begged Fanny to show me a little of it, and I thought that the spectacle was really shocking, and the crowds were everywhere, like a grand festival.Because of this, I lost my initial curiosity about holding the ceremony.Because of this, I forgot to remind myself of something important today before going to bed yesterday, and I couldn't get out of bed early.Fanny barged in, because I hadn't gone downstairs for breakfast, I jumped out of bed quickly, stepped on a pair of wooden slippers, and with a bird's nest of hair, I slipped downstairs to go to the dining room for breakfast, and the wooden staircase made a clear thud, and I rushed down in a gust of wind and ran into the kitchen and slipped into my place.Ryan sat at the dining table with a provincial newspaper in his hand, a cup of tea in front of him, the aroma made the whole room have a faint fragrance, Tracy was wearing a cool little vest and shorts, her figure was uneven, she was at a good age, she was a beautiful moment with buds, her body was like full of vitality, stained with the buds of morning dew, it was so beautiful and flawless.She was drinking polenta sleepily, and there were two fried eggs on the plate in the center of the table, and a plate had been placed in front of my seat, and there was a particularly ugly omelette in it, and there were some burnt marks on one side.At first glance, I knew that it was definitely not from Fanny, but I had to put on a surprised expression, and then devoured the bitter-tasting omelette with a teasing smile on the corner of Rryant's mouth with a look like a delicious meal.He looked at the newspaper intently, crossed his legs in his chair, and hummed a song that couldn't hear the rhythm.When I was about to finish a bowl of polenta, I put down the newspaper in my hand and raised my eyes to look at the mahogany table clock beside me.After calculating that there was still some time, he pondered for a moment before he asked me, "Today you are going to participate in the Magic Awakening Ceremony, what are your thoughts after the ceremony?"

I've heard people say you're not considering coming to Stas College?

I'd love to know why, but can you give me a reason, I think the Junior Warrior Academy of the War Academy in El City can be called the best, but it is definitely not the most suitable academy, even if it is a very talented child, it is very difficult to successfully graduate from the Junior Warrior Academy of the War Academy. ”"But I want to try!"

I could only stubbornly find a reason to be lame, chewing a crisp pickle strip in my mouth.He took a big sip of polenta and buried his head in the bowl.Actually, I really want to tell Ryan that I just want to go to the School of Magic at the War College, but how can this reason be said?

Stans College did not have a Ministry of Magic, which was the biggest flaw of Stans College.Fanny and Ryan never expected me to become a magician, they wanted me to learn the Western rapier with Ryan like Tracy, and Ryan was very satisfied with my physical fitness, as a swordsman, the most important thing is not how strong I am.How fast you are, it's about your body's coordination and balance, followed by speed and accuracy, and finally, of course, strength.Among the twelve-year-olds in the city of El.My strength is not dominant, but my speed and endurance can even reach the physical strength of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, although Ryan does not say it, but I know that he very much wants to be my martial arts enlightenment, but I know that Qiangbach has become the leader of my martial arts enlightenment in the Star Lake Grassland.Later, I met Kut, the big chief who taught me and Kuz how to dodge the "charge" skill, so that I followed the orc martial arts in my bones, those martial arts full of explosive and destructive power, so I didn't have the slightest interest in swordsmanship, every time Ryan tactfully offered to let me practice swords, I would find some reason to escape, gradually, he began to understand that I didn't have any idea about his martial arts, and slowly his heart faded.But now, when he reached the age of going to school, he began to have new ideas, especially when he knew my performance in the oak forest outside the small town of Fekang, and began to slowly reflect on the neglect of me in recent years, and I was also a child who dared to travel alone in the mountains and forests of the province of Sloit, and my mature heart and experience were difficult to find in these urban children."

Have you thought about what you want to learn in the future, you never said which aspect of martial arts you like!"

Ryan was also very curious, wanted to hear my thoughts, I complained in my heart, in fact, I really don't have any ideas, if I have to say that I like that kind of martial arts, in fact, I like more extreme and violent dagger weapons, but I am very disdainful of attacks and other means, I prefer those skills and tactics on Evely.By this time, Fanny had already come down from the stairs with a cardboard box, and when she saw that I had finished eating, she did not forget to compliment Tracy.She said to Tracy, "First of all, thank you to our little princess for her dedication early in the morning, to make these breakfasts with me early in the morning, a few days are a special day, our Jia is going to the War College for the annual grand celebration, the magic ceremony, and then, I and I and Tracy have our most sincere wishes to our most beloved youngest son, Jia, oh, yes, Jia!

Come on, I've got a gift for you, come and open it up!

”"What is this?"

I looked over curiously, it was a colorful cardboard box, there were actually colored stripes tied with knots on it, Tracy also leaned over, sniffed with her sensitive nose, frowned and snorted, and said, "It's soft leather inner armor, yellow sheepskin!"

”"Oh, Tracy, can't you just let Jia open his gift with some suspense?"

Fanny complained very dissatisfied, and then took the lid of the box open with one hand, revealing a finely made soft leather inner armor, which I thought must have been customized to my figure, and it fit very well, and the body would not be suffocated by all kinds of movements."

Thank you, Fanny.I love it!

”I smiled at Fanny.When I opened the door, I found that there were already many people on the street.Originally, I had just convinced Ryan and Fanny that there would be a lot of people at this ceremony.When I walked into the War College, I would only be squeezed to death, so they gave up the idea of sending me to the War College in person, but they refused to let me go to the War College alone, and finally Tracy took the initiative to ask for help.Accompany me to the Magic Awakening Ceremony, which was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.When I passed by the gate of Sister Guoguo's house, I saw Su waving vigorously to me in the glass window.She had probably forgotten about our embarrassment yesterday, and I even saw a fiery figure next to her, flashing through the window.I think she is probably Sue's second sister, the girl named Annie, it turns out that she actually came back.That curly red hair reminded me of Katarina, she was moving so fast that I couldn't even catch her.Sue was in a wheelchair and saw me standing at the door of her house, staring at her in place, and was so ashamed that she hurriedly hid in the corner."

Her eyes are as clear as water," Tracy sighed softly, how could anyone on this street not know this beautiful girl like an angel.Like her sisters, she always had something special, such as the genius water magician Guoguo, the sword dancer Annie who studied with her teacher, the half-elf Gvalop, and Sue, who often sat under a lemon tree and read.Tracy asked in particular annoyance, "You don't like her, do you?"

”"I didn't!""

The more you quibble, the more illustrative the "beautiful dividing line" Jia, is there nothing that can make you feel very surprised and surprised?

”Tracy had her hands in her trouser pockets, and she wore a white lace shirt and a brown buckskin waistcoat.Her eyes are a little slender, she looks heroic when she squints at the sun, and her long hair is no longer behind her ears.We walked north along the stone-paved street, lined with shops.On a special day like today, they all start business early.There are many pedestrians on the street, and there are occasional cars and horses.The aroma of breakfast pastries spreads through the streets, and people from the small towns who have come from outside the city gather in front of the various breakfast stalls to buy a bite to eat in a hurry.The kids who came from outside.I looked at everything in the city of El with curiosity, the black street lamps on the streets, the unique signs in front of the shops, the beautiful clothes and furnishings in the bright and clean closet counters, from the big beds to the shoes and socks, which were so dazzling that they could almost dazzle the human eye.The weather was good, and the clouds in the sky were like a faint smoke, and maybe after a while they would completely disperse.Tracy walked in front, I had to work hard to keep up with her, I saw that she actually took the initiative to tell Fanny this time that she would lead me to the Ministry of Magic at the War College to line up and participate in the magic awakening ceremony, which made me a little incomprehensible, didn't this girl always pay attention to my business?

I followed behind with some suspicion, looking cautious, like a little tanuki, full of vigilance."

I'm so happy!

Isn't that a surprise too?

”I said pretending to be puzzled.Tracy raised her chin high, snorted softly, and said directly: "Less, are you insulting my IQ, or do you insist that everyone is a fool?"

Wake up, boy!

”All the high-level buildings in El City are built on a hill that is not too high, including the mansions of the nobles in El City, the City Hall, the Magic Guild of El City, and covers an area of up to 100 acres, directly occupying all the hills above the City Hall, the entire War College is like a park in the noisy city, and among the thick green vegetation, there is a War College hidden.Tracy and I stood at the foot of the hill from afar, looking up at the War College hidden in the green forest, and there was a strong earth elemental aura that spread out again, filling the entire small hill.Countless people poured into the path to the Junior School of Magic, and they were followed by a child about my age, who was looking at me curiously as they passed me.Those big innocent and ignorant eyes shone with curiosity.Tracy and I walked down the street along the crowd, and when we heard her sarcasm, I replied to the detest: "Please use honorifics on me, if I can be admitted to the War College and graduate successfully, then it is likely that if I was a lieutenant when I served in the North Wind Legion, the chances of me dying on the battlefield are very slim, and if you say that you will marry me then, and if you continue to talk about it, I'm not sure if I can control myself and not tear your mouth apart!"

”I heard Tracy say to me through gritted teeth, and she held my ear with one hand, like two intimate siblings whispering again."

Stop talking and accept your fate!

Tracy. ”I kept saying to her, and she scolded me impatiently: "Shut up!

”In fact, I have long shut up, I am in the crowd, like a lonely boat in the stormy waves, pushed and squeezed by the surging crowd, and involuntarily move forward.Tracy saw that I was about to be drowned in the crowd, so he chased me in the crowd in a bit of a panic.This time she struggled to catch up with me in the crowd, and I don't know how much effort it spent.Then she grabbed my hand, refusing to let go no matter what, she used her slender body to block in front of me, pushed away the pedestrians in front of me, and pushed me forward.In the distance, we finally saw the mountain gate of the War College, and just as we were trying to figure out how to rush up to sign up, we suddenly heard someone calling my name in the corner of the wall, and I looked over for the sound, and saw Arendt and Yveli huddled there with a group of friends from their Stans Academy, shouting my name and beckoning me over.At this time, Tracy didn't even think about it, just pulled me, squeezed away the few people in front of me, and walked towards Arendt with difficulty.Tracy held my hand very tightly, always worried that I would be broken up by the crowd.Laboriously reached Arendt's side and asked him, "Why are you here too?"

”"Bring them to the awakening ceremony, there are a lot of them!"

Arendt moved his body out of the way, and behind him was a quiet girl, almost my age.At this time, it seems to remind me of the scene when I was taking the high school entrance examination, the surging crowd outside the mountain gate of the War College makes people feel very familiar, and my thoughts sink into the picture of this moment in front of me.Tracy and Arrant switched positions to keep him out of the crowd, Tracy leaned against the corner and looked down at Elendt's sister, teasing him and saying, "I don't know if you know how to take care of people, Arendt!"

”"There's a lot you don't know" to be continued.
