"This is the reporting material for the freshmen of this year's Magic Academy. I have screened out the qualified students in advance. If I can contact them earlier and include them in our branch, our next development work will be Will - what? No? This, this, this... why?"
Among the countless people walking on the streets of Tania City, there are many men and women who are also having an intimate relationship with each other. Of course, there are also some who are quarreling and awkward among them. The two people in front of them have just opened the door of the Blue Mountain Cafe. The men and women looked exactly like this. The male magician walking behind was also chasing the girl in front of her as she walked quickly, while explaining something earnestly: "Our branch is still short of manpower. State, since you want to recruit people, you must select better guys! Moreover, these people are all young talents, not only capable but also hardworking, and they are also loyal--"
"I don't hate what you said, but why do you have to say it now?" The girl who was walking quickly finally stopped and suddenly turned back to throw up her long red hair and the hair tie tied at the end of her long hair. He almost hit the man behind him in the face: "Can't you let me clean up in the cafe for a while? Can't you let me have a good rest? If you think it's not possible, then I'll leave!"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't go, don't go, it was my fault." In the scene where countless passers-by covered their mouths and snickered, the male magician hurriedly grabbed the other person's arm: "Oh, this is also an occupational disease. After all, I finally found the opportunity to meet you, and I always subconsciously want to report the recent situation to you, the person in charge and the supreme commander... Can I not mention work matters?"
"Okay, I also have something wrong." Then the girl's tense face finally relaxed a little: "I have been so busy recently that I didn't pay much attention to the construction of the Wind Continent branch - thank you for your hard work, Yudi. "
"Your appreciation is the greatest gift to me."
Showing a standard etiquette like the orthodox magicians of the Council of Mages, the man known as Yudi replied with a smile. The two people's steps in tandem gradually became parallel as they merged into the crowd again. Together, the conversation after a moment of silence seemed to have regained some warmth with the warm winter sun: "The air after the rain is really fresh."
"……Um."
"Although it is winter in the free world, it doesn't feel as cold as in our real world. I guess that the ancestors of the principality have buried some black technology underground in this city to ensure that it can be enjoyed all year round. Like spring, isolated from the attacks of cold and heat... Don't believe it? I have researched it!"
"Believe it, believe it, I just believe you."
"In comparison, my situation in the real world is much worse. I don't pay for the heating of the house I rent. In the winter, it's like living in a refrigerator. Hahahahaha."
"..."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up."
As if aware of the reluctance to speak and the gradually cold and embarrassed expression of the red-haired girl beside him, Yudi scratched his cheek and tried to find other topics to re-heat the awkward conversation between the two: " I just, I just... ahem, I heard that your brother is making some progress now, I don’t know how it is, so--"
"My brother is living a good life now, whether in the game or outside." Clearing her throat, the red-haired girl replied solemnly: "Thank you for your concern."
"Anyway, if you need it, I will do my best to help you."
The atmosphere of the conversation seemed to have fallen into a quagmire again, and the constant bustle from the streets around them seemed to be mocking the silence between the two people again. Rain tried hard to break free from this "quagmire" Di Ye hurriedly patted his chest and said seriously with a serious face: "I will help you develop the association branch of the Mage Council and make you a member of the Wind Continent... no, in the entire free world. Magic Queen! I will also try my best to support your family outside. I will also find a way to support your tuition fees and your brother’s medical expenses!"
"No, thank you." Shaking her head in response to the other party's promise, the red-haired girl replied expressionlessly: "I don't have that big ambition, and... my current income is enough to support me and my brother. The cost is fine.”
"Alas, you are always so stubborn, Xiao Qian." Sighing deeply, the male magician reached out and touched the red-haired girl's delicate and moist cheeks: "It is important to be independent and self-reliant, but in the end, being stubborn will lead to It will only hurt yourself and others, you have to learn to accept the kindness of others."
"I'm not fighting alone, of course I understand that." The red-haired girl known as Xiaoqian pushed back her hair that was blown by the wind, and a smile appeared on half of her face: "If I need help I'll let you know, don't worry."
"I'm not worried? How could I not be worried?" Amid countless side glances from other players and passers-by, Yudi, who was clenching his fists, spoke again with a slightly higher volume: "You have been missing recently. Things in the association Regardless, I didn’t even reply to the messages in real life. I thought something had happened to you outside! With that old face that has been helping you for so long, I asked so many people, and how many times I invited the senior managers of the Mages Council, that I finally got it. I’ve heard about you again and again! I’ve found your whereabouts!”
"You were not like this before. Whether you were dealing with the development of the Mage Council branch or magic itself, your enthusiasm was extremely high." He calmed down his words and tried his best to regain a calm tone and tone. Expression: "When did the Thousand-Zingered Crane, who was always full of energy, never admit defeat, and always shined on others like the sun, go?"
"I can guarantee that I have never changed." Faced with the burning gaze of the man next to him, Qian Zhihe, whose face turned gloomy for a moment, then pressed his chest and raised his head: "Maybe it's because I have been too busy recently. So I have left a bad impression on you and other comrades in the association, and I can also apologize to them. If it delays other things in the association, I will try my best to make up for it in future work."
"No, it's not just the recent period." He shook his head, facing Yudi and continued to accuse: "Your change started a long time ago, but I remember it very clearly... since we went to the Imperial Capital together. Redcar time, right?”
"So your mind is so sharp." After blinking his eyes, Qianzhihe finally stopped looking at him: "I thought no one could see it."
"I may not have such strong observation skills for others, but it's different for you." Yudi shook his head, with a firm expression on his face: "You should know why. .”
"This, this..." As if recalling some things that had happened in the past, Qianzhihe lowered his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I can't respond to your feelings, because... because..."
"Because of that Linyuan Shuishui, right?" He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and pointed his finger in a certain direction outside the street: "I know that guy, so -"
"I advise you to give up."
The two people's continuous progress along the crowd seemed to pause at this moment. It seemed that they had turned a corner because of Yudi's words. Yudi, who had gathered enough momentum, then completed the organization of his own language. He formally launched his own attack: "I have investigated him and know how powerful he is, but such a legendary figure cannot be climbed with ordinary efforts."
"Ignoring the troubles that man once had, just because of his current situation and position, he is already a powerful enough time bomb that could send him and everyone around him to death at any time. God." Speaking of this, Yudi's expression became more and more serious: "Don't just see his bright side, evaluate his dark side - this way of viewing and analysis was also pioneered by you. I specifically emphasized this when we were branching out.”
"I know his situation and the risks involved. You don't need to remind me of this." The red-haired girl answered word by word: "I do this because I believe I can help him. This is my Your own choice.”
"Even if you are willing, he won't appreciate it!" The girl's attitude indeed aroused Yudi's anger even more: "There are so many women around him! Don't tell me you don't know!"
"..."
"Perhaps there is a perfect young master in this world who can be loved by countless women, but that person is definitely not him."
Looking at Qianzhihe's gloomy expression that fell silent again, Yudi, who had suppressed his emotions, continued his unremitting persuasion: "As a man, I am absolutely qualified to express my own opinion - he is a scumbag. He is a heartless man who only plays with women."
"His criminal record, his identity, and his performance are enough to explain it all: he will never accept you at all." The magician said with a heartbroken look: "Since he won't If he accepts you, then all your efforts on him will be in vain! Even if he really accepts you, sooner or later he will abandon you for other women, which will only hurt your heart even more!"
"Then, so what?" The red-haired girl pursed her lips and whispered, "As long as I compare with those women, it will be over? It's not me he abandoned, but..."
"Confused! Confused!" Her whispers were interrupted again by the rain: "A man with a love heart can never change his restless nature! He will betray you one day! Temperament, upbringing, habits, Even years of boredom will drive you farther and farther away from each other! Even an ordinary woman who cannot compare with you may become his prey——"
The words that were said here were suddenly strangled as if being strangled by the neck. Yudi opened his eyes wide and looked at the front of the street. The gray-robed magician they were talking about was also standing in the middle of the street at this time. He was stopped in place by a black-haired woman who had just rushed forward: "...Ha, haha! Hahahaha!"
"Did you see it? Did you see it? This is the bloody reality!" Yudi, who raised his hands in the shape of claws and laughed loudly, then turned around and grabbed Qian Zhihe's arm: "Look! It's that scumbag!" , a new wild woman has been attracted by this guy!"
"..."
"As your man...as your friend, I hereby solemnly advise you: give up."
Sensing the red-haired girl's trembling body that was gradually becoming more obvious at this time, Yudi forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and tightly grasped the other person's shoulders with both hands: "Everything is just as I said, isn't it? In this world It’s just full of so much injustice and malice!”
"Instead of continuing to make yourself sad, it's better--"
Snapped.
The hands that wanted to take the opportunity to slip off his shoulders were slapped open hard. The painful feeling made Yudi's body lean forward involuntarily, and the sparks that appeared out of thin air also followed Qian Zhihe's body as he suddenly rushed forward. A series of flames formed behind the shape, and the rising high temperature made the rain ground let out a miserable roar. At the intersection where the two streets met, the red-haired girl flying at high speed arrived instantly like a shooting star. In front of the gray-robed magician, Duan Qing, who was having a face-to-face conversation with others, then seemed to have just recognized the identity of the person, and dispersed a little of the magic protection and the scorching air waves that swept over his head: "Xiao Qian? Why are you here?"
"Uh, that, that -" Looking at the passers-by who were constantly dodging the remaining flames, Qianzhihe's face and words became embarrassed and at a loss: "I, I just suddenly saw you here, brother, so At once……"
"So you're a little anxious?" Xue Ling Huanbing, who pulled the red-haired girl over and stood next to Duan Qing, smiled and rubbed her hair: "This is a public place. It's not for others. It’s not good to be in trouble.”
"Sorry for scaring you." Duan Qing on the other side retracted the magic shield from his side, and pushed the frightened black-haired woman forward under the protection of the shield: "Just right for you Let me introduce you, this is Qian Zhihe, a current member of the Mage Council and the chief magic apprentice of the great magician Freya, is he very powerful?"
"This is Qing Xi, the leader of the Nightingale Adventure Group." He changed his voice and turned his introduction hand to the black-haired woman, and his eyes fell on Qian Zhihe: "It can be regarded as one of my former friends. A comrade."
"He is an official contestant in this 'Chicken Beak Cup' competition."
