In such a sunny afternoon, the warm spring breeze made the tender willow branches on the side keep swaying with the wind, and the two seniors standing in front of the registration prescription table had a trace of unnatural smiles on their faces, and looked at Senior Andre with some embarrassment, and couldn't help but want to take a step forward, reminding him again that it is obviously not a wise move to offend a very potential Mingshi because of a freshman, after all, the circle of Mingshi is not small, but it is definitely not very big.And with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, Senior Andre glanced at the senior at the registration office faintly, so that the words that he had already held in his throat were suddenly stuck in his mouth, and he just snorted.Senior Andrei reached out and patted the senior on the shoulder, and then said indifferently: "Ivan's side, I will go and talk to him." ”"Andre, we still have a magic exchange meeting to attend in the afternoon, and there is not much time left for us, so let's hurry up and take him to the club to go through the formalities!"
Alessio raised his face to look at the sky, frowned slightly, and a trace of anxiety appeared in his eyes.At the recommendation of Alessio and Andrea, Noah and I joined the Sword and Rose Society, and it became very easy all of a sudden, and it seemed that there were no so many cumbersome procedures, and thus some very troublesome procedures were eliminated.The silver-haired boy Lorenzo and his friends have been left to the side, Lorenzo stood in the crowd, his face was a little cloudy and silently stared at me, seeing that Senior Andre was about to bring me and Noah into the martial arts hall, he finally couldn't hold back, stood up from the crowd and said: "Senior Andrei, please wait a moment, please think about it carefully, Senior Ivan has greeted my brother over there!"
”Seeing Andre raise his head suspiciously, Lorenzo barely squeezed out a smile on his face, for Lorenzo, a noble son from a wealthy family in the imperial capital, it was not easy to do this."
Who is your brother?"
Andre asked Lorenzo with a twisted eyebrow, and the words between his eyebrows became clearer and clearer."
Lorenzo's brother is Senior Diego."
A friend behind Lorenzo spoke out the man's name.Lorenzo proudly raised his chest high, like a rooster in a fighting arena with his chin raised high, and the crowd of onlookers around him let out exclamations, and it could be seen that they were also full of envy for the wealthy nobles.Andre and Alessio had a look of surprise on their faces, and Andre reluctantly smiled dryly: "You are Diego's younger brother, and you are a member of the Surrey family?"
”"That's true, Senior Andrei."
Lorenzo made his smile look more natural, and then added, "My brother Diego and Senior Ivan are best friends, and I think he'll come over and explain it to you." ”Only then did I understand that the reason why the silver-haired boy Lorenzo targeted me like this was because he knew Ivan, or it could be said that Ivan and Lorenzo's brother should be considered friends, and Lorenzo's brother happened to be a high-level member of the Sword and Rose Society.I suspect that Lorenzo's ability to join the Sword and Rose Society so quickly has something to do with his powerful older brother.Although before, in the magic potion class, I messed up his little plan to play tricks on the pan, but I think everyone just said a few cruel words to each other, and obviously he knows some about me, knows that I still have some means, and probably thinks that the students from the north have some practical experience, so they don't want to have a head-on conflict with me."
There's a bit of trouble over there, Diego!"
Alessio had a wry smile on his face, but even though he said that, his eyes remained unmoved.Andre next to him also frowned slightly, and it could be seen that things had become very troublesome, although Andre and Alessio did not buy Ivan's account, but they had a deep fear of Lorenzo's brother Diego."
Will it be difficult for you?"
I whispered tentatively to Andre and Alessio, implying that if it was difficult, then forget about joining the Sword and Rose Society!
I continued, "As for that side, I'll go and explain it to her!"
”Now it is obvious that Alessio and Andre are the recommenders that Kig helped me find, but the hesitation in their eyes at the moment is also seen by me, I am not used to making others embarrassed, Noah stood aside with a long mouth, looked at me with a surprised look, and whispered to me: "Jijia, I really found that I am getting a little more and more unable to see through you." ”I winked at him and signaled that I would explain it to him when I turned around, but I couldn't tell him why Alessio and André were standing up for me.Andre carefully put the rune sword in his hand back into the scabbard, hung it back on his waist, and then said very freely: "Actually, it's not that serious, in the community, we and Diego belong to two different teams, and as long as we mix this year, Andre and I will successfully graduate from the Royal Academy of Magic, and when the time comes, we will return to our respective provinces, naturally ignore these people from the Imperial Capital Gang!"
”"Imperial Capital Gang?"
It's obviously a new term for me and Noah."
A group of guys who grew up in the imperial capital, thinking that they were from orthodox wealthy nobles, with a superior status, in fact, they are extremely annoying wherever they go, a group of arrogant guys."
Andrei said coldly.Then, André's eyes swept over Lorenzo, and I finally understood why Andre was so unkind to see Lorenzo, it seemed that they belonged to two different factions!
Obviously, in Andrea's eyes, Lorenzo and his friends are new members of the Imperial Capital Gang, and there is nothing they can do!
The number of magicians who have been promoted to the Royal Academy of Magic on the side of the Imperial Capital Junior Magic Academy is almost several times that of other magic academies, and these noble sons who come from the local aristocratic forces in the Imperial Capital have obviously formed a force to be reckoned with in the Huang Family Magic Academy, and they have been given a not very elegant name by others, "Imperial Capital Gang"."
We don't have to wait here, let's go, I'll take you to the martial arts hall to have a look, this will be the place where you spend most of your spare time, and when the president comes later, we will recommend the two of you directly to the president."
Alessio put his hand on my shoulder and said very kindly.Obviously, between Zige and the Imperial Capital Diego, Alessio decisively chose the former without hesitation, but I also have some doubts about whether this matter was done by Qige himself!
Noah said politely, "Thank you, two seniors!"
”Andre smiled, waved his hand at the two of us, and said very freely: "Don't thank us, we are just entrusted by others!"
”Recently, Noah's original deep-rooted aristocratic thinking has changed a lot, after entering the Royal Academy of Magic, he gradually began to discover that the advantages of the original invincible nobility in Palestina Province have no use here, in the Royal Academy of Magic, magicians with the identity of aristocratic families account for most of the number of students, it is precisely because of the aristocratic family that they can have richer magical resources, more complete magic inheritance, and receive magic enlightenment since childhood, at the initial starting point, It is a few steps ahead of the common magicians, and its own foundation is also very solid and solid, so most of the many magic apprentices who can stand out from each junior academy are from aristocratic families, and they are not so much talented in magic as they are piled up by various magical resources.So when Noah's sense of superiority gradually disappeared in the Royal Academy of Magic, his whole person slowly became a lot more mature.A few of us walked through the dark corridor at the entrance of the martial arts hall, there is a very flat square martial arts training ground in the courtyard of the martial arts hall, under the eaves around is a half-meter-high wooden floor paved with good oak planks, coated with a very smooth varnish, these floors under the eaves of the whole room can be used for people to rest, and there are weapon racks set up not far from each other around the martial arts training ground, on which there are wooden swords, wooden swords, shields, spears, and all kinds of weapons are also available.On the wall of one side of the house, there was even a row of arrow targets, but there were no wooden bows or arrows to be seen, so it seems that archery was not always practiced.At this time, there are already some students wearing moon white witchcraft light armor on the martial arts training ground, and they are fighting each other on the martial arts training ground, but obviously these students still have not broken free from the cage of old concepts, and the way they fight is that kind of very old and conservative form, almost the vast majority of the members on the field will choose a wooden shield in their hands, and the other hand is carrying a wooden dagger that replaces the spell blade, or a wooden sword that replaces the magic sword, and most of the whole process still focuses on long-range magic attacks, Most of them are fireballs, wind blades, turbulent stones and other spells, you come and go to each other, often when a student holds a shield, in the face of the magic that comes from the surge, make a very beautiful dodge or block action, will usher in some cheers around you.Obviously, these members have no idea of hand-to-hand combat in their hearts, after all, they are magicians, how could they give up the advantage of long-range magic attacks and choose to use their weak bodies to fight hand-to-hand?
The so-called fusion of swordsmanship and magic to make oneself stronger is nothing more than practicing how to accurately and flexibly avoid the enemy's magic skills during the battle, without using a magic shield.I can't help but have some small disappointment in my eyes, this place is different from the martial arts hall I imagined, there are many enemies!
Andre took Noah and me to sit down on the wooden floor under the eaves, saying that he was just waiting for the president to arrive and recommend me and Noah to her, and the task of the two of them would be completed.But what I didn't expect was that after signing up with a group of friends at the registration office outside the martial arts hall, Lorenzo actually walked into the martial arts hall with his friends, obviously the momentum of Lorenzo at this time was very different from before, a group of them stood on the edge of the martial arts training field, just like me and Noah, watching the members of the club learn from each other, from time to time, there are some girls wearing white knowledge suits in the martial arts hall passing by, obviously these girls are above the level, especially the white skirts of these female magicians, I will also wear a service uniform, which also makes me feel a different taste.There was also a well-proportioned silver-haired young man standing next to Lorenzo, who looked much more mature than Lorenzo, his eyes were sharper, and he was wearing a beautiful demonic pattern light armor, which looked extraordinarily energetic.At this time, I suddenly heard someone in the martial arts training ground say with a little surprise: "Diego, Lorenzo, you have brought this group of boys too!"
”Easy-going is the laughter of those people, and the pleasantries with acquaintances, and their circle seems to be a little more lively.On our side, there were also some people who greeted Andre, but I didn't expect the people in the two circles to seem so incompatible, and they didn't have anything to do with each other.Just when we were quietly waiting for Lucia, the president of the Sword and Rose Society, which had grown rapidly in just three years, we didn't expect that Diego, a young man with short silver hair who had been surrounded by many members and greeting her, actually crossed the crowd and walked towards us alone, and then stood in front of Andre with a proud stinky face.With a sneer on Diego's well-defined face, he fiddled with a secret magic blade in his hand, which was a dagger like a recurve knife, his legs and hands were extremely slender, and he was wearing a set of light armor of an ice snake lizard, and the entire set of armor was engraved with a magic pattern array, such a gorgeous set of magic pattern structures added a lot of charm to him, he just glanced at me with a trace of the proud smile unique to the people of the imperial capital, and said lightly: "What is the use of a water magician in the arena, Isn't it a waste of the new members of the club to let him join our Sword and Rose Society?
”Alessio frowned slightly and said, "Diego, you are a fire mage with a fire magic inheritance, so it's a bit too much to evaluate a water mage!"
”I have to say that Diego and his cousin Lorenzo both have very handsome silhouettes on their faces, their smiles have a touch of demonic evil, and they still have some noble temperament when they laugh, but the words they say are still very ugly: "So what?
A garbage from the water system even wants to join us Sword and Rose" "Do you want to have a discussion?"
”I sat on the wooden floor under the eaves, my feet drooping, but my face was facing the dazzling afternoon sun, squinting at Diego, and then I said to him in a very calm tone.Some of the people around us who were secretly paying attention to our side couldn't help but let out exclamations.And Senior Diego also looked at me in disbelief, his eyes shot two sharp rays, and he said in a deep voice: "What did you say?
”"I'm going to send you an invitation to have a duel with you, Senior Diego!"
I said in a flat tone, and then a faint smile rose at the corner of my mouth, and then said: "Since you question us water magicians like this, senior, then please fight with me, I think I will let you know our water magicians again" For a while, the members of the community who were learning combat techniques and magic in the martial arts hall stopped abruptly, and the entire registration office became silent.All eyes were on me and Diego, and many of them looked at me with incredible eyes, thinking that it must be something crazy that would take on a second-year senior, who was not an ordinary and unknown person, but a leader among the second-year magical students of the Royal Academy of Magic, and Diego had some family-style magical heritage that made him famous in the Sword and Rose Society.And in front of everyone, Diego also became difficult to ride, because before I sent out the challenge invitation, Diego did say something questioning the water magician, although the vast majority of people think that Diego is not wrong, but this kind of remarks involve the factional dispute of the magician, with some factional discrimination, this discordant argument is expressly forbidden on the side of the magic guild, so, I am fighting to protect the reputation of the water magician, Diego is difficult to refuse in this situation.For Diego, such a duel, whether he agreed or not, was not a glorious thing for him, and if he defeated me in the duel, it would be a victory, and although I would inevitably suffer some flesh and skin, my reputation would not be damaged, but more people would know me.Of course, Diego couldn't afford to lose, so when he heard me stand up and ask him to compete when he questioned the water magician, Diego's face suddenly became extremely ugly.He stared at me with a dark gaze, as if he was going to force me back directly with his eyes, but I bravely looked at him and did not give an inch.
