Lucy had long known who the parent was who was going to accompany her to take the joint entrance exam for the Sixth Academy, but when she saw Dean appearing at the door of the temporary dormitory, waiting for her to see him, she still felt a strong sense of excitement. Feeling of suffocation.
Especially when I heard the dormitory manager on the side confirming his identity to Dean and getting the answer, this feeling of suffocation reached its peak.
At that moment, as a native of another world, Lucy very subtly felt the pressure brought by various complex generations.
Like a big invisible hand, she pushed her and trotted to Dean's side.
"Excuse me, Teacher Melly, I'll go out with...him for a while and come back in the afternoon."
After saying hello to Mellie, who was in charge of managing the dormitory, Lucy, despite the confused gazes of her classmates, pulled Dean out of the school gate and into the restaurant next door.
The two of them found a corner, and she held the menu and weakly made her speech.
"...Thank you for accompanying Ryan to fool around. To be honest, I'm really...touched."
The words were so insincere that even the waiter who came to get the menu couldn't help but look at her several times.
Dean waved his hand and said magnanimously: "As your uncle...I mean, your father's friend, this is what I should do."
Halfway through his polite words, he was interrupted by Lucy's eyes that suddenly became sharp. He silently changed his name, and sure enough, the girl's expression softened instantly when he saw it.
Lucy took the drink brought by the waiter and said with a little worry: "I have also heard about the Origin Guild. I thought that after this incident, he would not be busy anymore, but I didn't expect that he would let you come in the end. Now…doesn’t the breeding house have anything to do with the guild?”
Dean shook his head, indicating that everything had been arranged, and Lucy was completely relieved.
Embarrassing is embarrassing, if Dean's work is delayed because of her own affairs, then she will definitely feel very guilty.
After comforting Lucy, Dean thought for a while and felt that he should reciprocate, so he cleared his throat and asked in an elder's tone: "There are two days left for the exam, how are you...revising?"
Lucy's hand holding the cup paused, and her expression dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"……good question."
good question?
Dean blinked, not sure whether he meant he had reviewed well or not.
Xiaolan, who had been watching the whole process from his scalp, sighed, jumped onto the table, and pushed the steaming drink to Dean's hand.
Lift this pot and boil it.
After being looked at by it for a long time with a hateful look, Dean also realized that he might have asked a bad question. He wondered if it was difficult to answer if he had reviewed well, and he picked up a drink to moisten his throat.
This action eased the tense atmosphere between the two of them. Just as he was about to change the topic, Lucy took the initiative and said, "This must be your first time in District 3, right?"
"Have you been transferred?"
"Went to the professional market..."
Dean followed her words and naturally mentioned Bernard. He originally thought it was just a small episode, but he didn't expect Lucy to frown slightly after hearing it.
"Bernard...it's better to stay away from him."
Dean was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
"Is there something wrong with him?"
"It can't be said that there is a problem... This person is quite famous in our student circle. It is said that he is the ace of the Warlock Academy. He is very popular among the teachers. In order to train him, the academy has invested a lot of resources."
"There are also rumors that Bernard will do some infiltration work for the Empire, but I think it is unlikely."
Dean also felt that it was unlikely. He even felt that the authenticity of the previous rumor was doubtful.
"The teacher likes you very much. Will you join a work-study program?"
Lucy held her chin up, showing the same puzzled expression.
"I did hear that he was doing work-study. It seems that the scholarship given by the college is not enough, which is normal. After all, the scholarship given to outstanding students by Warlock College is always the lowest, and Bernard is famous for having fun."
"They say it's to experience all kinds of life, but in reality, who can tell clearly? Maybe this will help improve his transformation ability?"
Lucy was not sure. After all, she only heard it from hearsay. All kinds of information were mixed together. It was difficult for others to tell whether it was true or false.
"But Bernard is a quite mysterious person, that's for sure. In fact, many people even speculate that the physical appearance he shows now is not his true appearance."
"On the contrary, the teachers at the Warlock Academy firmly believe that this is a rumor."
"It seems that they used a special method to confirm it on Bernard's first day of enrollment."
Dean nodded and had no intention of going into details. It was just that Bernard was marked with a warning mark in his heart.
After briefly talking about Bernard, the two brought the topic back to the joint entrance examination of the Sixth Academy.
Speaking of actual combat assessment, Dean remembered something.
"How are Yaya doing lately?"
"It's hard for you to remember it."
Speaking of her magic pet, Lucy couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, showing a proud and proud expression.
"Just wait, this time it will definitely surprise you!"
Kana, who was sitting next to Dean, tilted her head in anticipation.
Dean chuckled twice and finally mentioned one of the reasons why he came to see Lucy today.
"Do you have a list of students taking the exam this time?"
Lucy hesitated and said, "I understand a little bit, but not much... Why do you ask?"
Dean roughly described his thoughts, but before he finished speaking, he heard Lucy say in surprise.
"You want to poach the academy?"
She accurately captured the point that Dean wanted to express in this paragraph, and expressed it in her own way of understanding.
Dean's mouth twitched, and he didn't know whether he should praise her for her summarizing ability.
But even though the meaning is that, the words definitely cannot be said that way.
Dean said grandly: "It's not poaching, it's just a normal recruitment of employees. District 3 can work-study, but there's no reason why District 13 can't. I think breeding houses are a better choice than those little-known small workshops. .”
A little-known little workshop?
This map cannon is serious.
Lucy's mouth twitched slightly, not knowing how to respond to Dean for a moment.
The key is, regardless of the derogatory term "small workshop", who would go from work-study in District 3 to District 13? Is their brain damaged?
And except for weirdos like Bernard, most people choose work-study seats that are close to their careers, so that they can gain some experience and pave the way for future career development... Go to the breeding house, they can get close A magic pet, or can it get close to some other weird things?
Lucy wasn't optimistic about it anyway.
Touching his chin, Dean suddenly said: "Does anyone in your college, or among the students you know, choose to work part-time?"
"Part-time job? Double career?"
Lucy subconsciously followed Dean's thinking and analyzed it.
“It is true that some people choose dual careers, but not many. After all, people’s energy is limited. No matter what secondary career they choose, it will be a drag on the main career. If the secondary career is not good enough, everyone will not be in it. It’s a distraction from above.”
Dean looked thoughtful.
"What about internships? Don't students who are about to graduate have off-campus internships?"
"Internship..."
"Fourth-year students will arrange off-campus internships, but this internship opportunity, to put it bluntly, is to provide students with a place where they can demonstrate their abilities and prove their strength. The college will value it more for students than the needs of internship institutions. My own influence.”
"So it's not that you provide them with opportunities, but you have to provide relevant certificates to prove that you are qualified to provide them with opportunities."
"Based on the reputation of Blue Star Breeding House, they are qualified enough, but how do you prove that you can provide them with a suitable internship opportunity?"
