"I'm sorry, may I ask your name..."
Seeing Weber's stunned expression, Danik was not annoyed and just asked softly again.
"Webb, Webber Velvet, I'm sorry, I was so rude just now! This is indeed a package from Teacher Kenneth... Do you want it?"
After realizing what he had done to the legendary magician, Weber responded in a panic.
"It doesn't matter, can I just call you Weber?"
Seeing Weber's response, Danik also showed a warm smile. He quickly observed Weber's clothes and temperament. Instead of continuing to dwell on the package, he began to change the topic.
"You are a magician with a relatively low bloodline, right?"
Soon, he said in a determined tone.
"Yes, I only have three generations of blood..."
What does this guy want to do? Are you making fun of me as a country bumpkin? When he heard Darnic's words, Weber lowered his head silently. Faced with the disapproval of others, it was fine to complain in private, but to do so in front of people of Darnic's level was to seek death.
But unlike Weber's idea, Danik changed the subject and spoke forcefully.
"Blood and other things are just unnecessary shackles imposed by the nobles on those of us with poor backgrounds. They control the rotten rules and suppress those who are capable."
There is no strong feeling, but Danik's light description gives people a convincing and powerful feeling.
Weber couldn't help but widen his eyes. This was the first time he was recognized by such a legendary figure. His self-righteous thoughts were rarely resonated with others.
But he still said cautiously: ""Actually... it's not that...
Danik looked at Weber's somewhat uncontrollable expression, his eyes flashed, and he patted Weber on the shoulder.
"There is no need to deal with me with false words, classmate Weber. If you have known me, you should understand that my background is definitely not privileged compared to the nobles of the Clock Tower, and my family that established the Thousand World Tree wanted to abandon the decadent tradition. The Clock Tower, without blood as a barrier, provides a place for truly capable magicians.”
Darnic held Weber's shoulders tightly and conveyed a message with a smile that made people feel good.
"Webber Velvet, from your body, I feel the talent that has been buried. Are you willing to join the Thousand World Tree?"
"I, I...of course I am willing!"
Weber's face was flushed with excitement, and the excitement of being understood for the first time made him a little forgetful.
Anyway, his three generations of inheritance are nothing compared to Thousand World Tree, so there is nothing wrong with that.
"I'll welcome you anytime after you graduate."
Danik smiled again and stretched out his hand.
"So, can you show me Mr. Kenneth's package now? Let me give it to him later, so I won't bother you."
Upon hearing this request, Weber subconsciously wanted to pass his hand out, but when he touched the package, he still hesitated.
Of course, being appreciated is a very happy thing, but Webb has not been completely carried away. No matter how sincere Darnik's compliment is, part of it is definitely to check Kenneth's package.
The conflict between these two people is already well known to everyone. Although it is a good thing that he can get a bright future by betraying that annoying lemon head, is this really what he wants?
In that competition called the Holy Grail War, whether or not the true name of one's own heroic spirit is revealed may be the key factor that determines the outcome. Darnic is probably here for this too.
Webber just wanted to prove his ability. If Kenneth failed by relying on this cheating method, wouldn't he become a treacherous villain?
"I'm so sorry! I really have to hand this thing over to Teacher Kenneth with my own hands!"
Weber closed his eyes and bowed to Danik to apologize.
"Tsk,"
Danik's eyes suddenly turned gloomy, and he stretched out his hand to touch his chest. Although the thing was just an empty shell, it was okay to stun people for a while at close range. He no longer wanted to waste time with this brat. That's nonsense.
"Stay away from my students, Danik."
Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted Danik's movements.
Kenneth kept his pace and did not take back his package immediately. He pulled him behind him somewhat roughly.
His blond hair was neatly combed, but it also exposed a slightly worrying hairline, and he carried the reserved and proud demeanor of an old-fashioned aristocrat.
"Are you really just a guy who has nothing but words? On the premise that the relationship between rivals has been established, you still have to use such obscene methods to spy on information."
After being exposed, Darnik did not become angry, but looked at Kenneth naturally.
"There's nothing you can do about it. This is the Holy Grail War. In this old-era activity, there's no room for a new-age magician like you. Don't risk your life there."
"I will remember it, in the name of El-Melloi. Now, there is no need for me to ask you to leave."
"Goodbye, Weber-san, and Kenneth. Goodbye in the Holy Grail War."
"snort."
It wasn't until he was sure that Darnik had completely left that Kenneth snorted coldly and looked at Weber with gloomy eyes.
"Webber Velvet, I originally thought that you would always have a clear sense of stupidity just because of your limited vision, so I was very tolerant of you. I didn't expect that you don't even have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. At this level, Do you dare to boast about changing the clock tower?"
This guy! Always looking aloof!
Weber gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to punch Kenneth in the face that needed to be punched. He had just escaped from the temptation and protected Kenneth's competition at the cost of giving up a seemingly bright future. Fair enough, why are you still being punished here?
Driven by the youthful spirit, Weber still couldn't hold back and began to talk back.
"That's just because you have no vision! Senior Darnik is very optimistic about me! He even invited me to join Thousand World Tree!"
"That's why I said you were stupid," Kenneth's eyes became even more speechless. "That guy's nickname in the Clock Tower is Bad-tongued Darnic. This is a mockery of his style of doing things."
"Inviting you to join the Thousand World Tree? Do you really understand what kind of family that is? They divide magic seals to the down-and-out families regardless of losses, and incorporate other people's systems and magic ways. Under this premise, their seals are at most It just has the function of identifying companions. The real core thing comes from the skills before joining. This is also the capital for those families to gain a place in Thousand World Tree. For those who do not have this kind of accumulation, what will happen after joining? I mentioned it too much."
Weber pursed his lips. Of course he knew that when you choose your family, you choose your power. Once you enter, it will be difficult to escape. After calming down for a while, Weber also realized that Qianjie Shu's power was no longer weak, but it still couldn't. The reason for becoming a big family in Clock Tower.
Darnic's approach of arbitrarily dividing the magic seals that the family relies on for inheritance is completely against common sense. Such a family is like a hyena, relying on the choice of the leader to continue to eat the carrion of the magic world to survive. It cannot be considered at all. Normal pedigree.
But even if he understands this, Weber is still quite stubborn.
"So what if I know, I want to join Thousand World Tree because I admire Senior Darnic!"
"It's really stupid," Kenneth glanced at Webb, "That guy used his own origin to confuse people like you again."
"It is true that his background is not outstanding, but his own magic circuit and qualifications are very powerful. Many families wanted to absorb him at first. It was not until it was confirmed that his bloodline might degrade in the next few generations that he changed No one cares about it.”
"This is also the reason why that guy was able to create Thousand World Tree without any care, because without relying on himself, his research and inheritance would not be inherited by future generations. But even as an enemy, I have to recognize his talents."
When it comes to this difficult enemy, although Kenneth's attitude is very arrogant, his eyes are still a bit serious, "In terms of soul research, that guy may have reached the level of the crown."
"And you, Weber Velvet, I dare to assert that even if you really have any talent, you will never be able to surpass the level of Kai Shi in your lifetime unless you turn yourself into the monsters designated by the seal."
The overly harsh comment deeply hurt Weber, but he didn't even have the courage to refute. He would think that Kenneth had a bad taste. This was precisely proof that he recognized the other person's talent, and it was also because he believed that Kenneth could see through him. Weber would hand it over to him immediately if the paper was of such a high level.
"However, judging from your performance today, you are still my student, Kenneth. If you make a misjudgment, it will also damage El-Melloi's reputation. If you really want to prove yourself, do a unique extracurricular practice. What? If your performance is outstanding, I will withdraw my evaluation."
Kenneth turned his face away, not letting Webber see his expression.
Although it is just a boring magic competition, facing an enemy of Darnic's level is dangerous after all. Although Kenneth does not think he will lose, he is not sure that he can win in style, so that His fiancée Sora was too embarrassed to see this scene, so he had already had the idea of changing his assistant.
Although Weber's ability is not outstanding, for today's sake, Kenneth doesn't mind giving him a chance. With the help of the helper of this Holy Grail War, he will be allowed to join El-Melloi's branch after the war. , consider it as a reward for today.
Although his emotional intelligence is very low, perhaps because of his privileged background and his dedication to research, Kenneth is not very human among magicians.
"You, what do you mean?"
Weber's voice trembled again.
"Webber Velvet, I'm asking you if you want to join me in the Holy Grail War as a facilitator."
"Of course I want to go! I will definitely prove it to you!"
