The next morning, Cody and the other two left the cafeteria with a steamed bun each. Cody cursed all the way. Unexpectedly, he and the others just got up late. When they arrived, there were only a few steamed buns left in the cafeteria. They should not sleep in next time. . Yesterday, I took a long bus ride and spent the whole afternoon getting familiar with the general layout of the college under the guidance of Jacka. The college, which I thought was not too big, was beyond Cody's expectation. I still couldn't walk through the entire college all afternoon, and it wasn't until dinner time. Finish. Jieka no longer took them to the cafeteria and let them experience it on their own. Just as Jieka said, the entire cafeteria was like a war, with the colleges pushing one another and yelling angrily from time to time. However, no one actually started to fight. The academy has regulations that prohibit students from fighting. If they are found, they will be locked up and all benefits will be deducted the first time, and they will be kicked out the second time, so the students can only curse in anger at most.
Knowing the rules of the academy, he rushed forward with his two timid younger brothers. Cody's body, which he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, was not something that magicians could resist. He managed to get a good meal amidst the shouts and curses of others, and raised his mouth. Zoro and the two ate with admiration in their eyes.
The three of them gnawed on the steamed buns and ran to their own classroom according to the route in their memory. There were only half of the people in the not-too-large classroom, and Cody and the three of them found a seat at random to sit down. It is not surprising that there are not many students, because there are many classes taking place at the same time every day. Except for freshmen like Cody who have just entered the school and have not learned even one magic, they are forced to learn to cast the first magic. The other students are You can choose to attend classes there or practice magic alone. Of course, there are also some students with other ideas who will come to listen to the most basic knowledge.
Not long after sitting down, Teacher Lili, who I met yesterday, walked into the classroom, took a look, and said with a smile: "It's good. There are a little more people today than yesterday, and there are three little guys who just came yesterday. Because there are new people Students have joined, so I will tell you the rules of my lectures. First, you are not allowed to sleep. Second, I am not allowed to make any noise when I speak, and I am not allowed to affect other people's listening to the lecture. There are also some students who are not very obedient. , just listen carefully when I lecture, don’t look at me all the time, and don’t drool.”
Finished. Cody looked around, and sure enough, there were a few older students with evasive eyes. Good guy, the academy dares to covet a mentor, he is really a powerful magician. However, Teacher Lily is indeed very beautiful, and her words are also very funny. It is no wonder that these male students are willing to sit in the audience. But aren’t everyone getting married at this age?
Lily started teaching after telling her the rules, writing down some key points on the blackboard behind her from time to time. Cody and the other three regretted not bringing books and pens. They saw several seniors taking notes seriously, and they were left with their fingers clasped and not knowing what to do. Although what they were about to talk about for now was already mentioned by Master Gan on the carriage, he I also remember it, but there will definitely be things I don’t understand next. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lily to explain the most basic magic to the three of them. The three of them could only stare wide-eyed and try hard to remember every word.
Lily was halfway through speaking. She picked up the book on the table and took a look at it, and then said: "The little guy is not bad. I know I will be tired, sister. The three of them are very sensible and can sense the fire element. It saves me having to talk about different elements." The main reason is that Sister Lily happens to only know fire element magic, and you all seem to be able to meditate, right? I wonder if you could remind me that I just wasted my words talking so much."
When other students heard Lily say that these three new students had learned how to meditate, they couldn't help but turn to look at them. They didn't know anything when they first came to the academy.
"Okay, then I will teach you how to condense the elements and release them. Listen carefully to this, as it will determine whether you can successfully release magic in the future." After Lily wasted her saliva on the three of them again, she thought for a moment and said: "Since you have saved me a lot of trouble, I might as well save a little more and teach you a basic magic fireball technique. It will be taught after a while anyway. It just allows you to learn it in advance. It doesn't matter if you can't learn it. Remember Just keep the incantation. If you don't understand anything then, just ask me." As he spoke, he recited a short but obscure incantation. The three of them recited it several times and remembered it in their hearts. My mouth is knotted and I can't speak smoothly.
"To cast magic, you need to control elements and spells to be successful. Both are indispensable. But it takes a while to recite the spell, so when we encounter the enemy in the future, we must stay away and control the distance between us and the enemy, otherwise we may not have time to recite the spell. We were killed by others. After all, although our bodies are not weak, we are not worth a tower compared to the samurai. But as long as there is enough distance, the magician will basically win."
"Teacher Lily, excuse me."
Cody was still changing his mouth shape and silently learning spells, when the classroom door was opened and a timid voice came.
"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation." Lily still smiled, but the sinister tone made the young man outside the door tremble. Lily hated others influencing her to do things.
The young man swallowed and whispered: "I don't want to disturb your lecture, but Master Gan asked me to come here to find a new student named Cody."
"Master Gan?" Lily was confused for a moment and said to the three of them without getting angry, "Which one of you is Cody?"
Cody immediately stood up and replied, "It's me."
Lily waved, then pointed at the young man and said: "Master Gan is looking for you, follow him. When you are done, come back and continue the class."
"Yes." Cody responded and walked out of the classroom. He was wondering what Master Gan wanted to do with him, so he asked the young man walking in front, "Senior, do you know what Master Gan wants to do with me?"
The young man shrugged his shoulders and said: "How would I know? I just happened to meet Master Gan, and he asked me to come to you. You must know that Master Gan basically doesn't deal with anyone except a few masters. By the way, you are New here, do you have two companions?"
Thinking that Master Gan was looking for something to do with him, he casually agreed when he heard the young man's question.
Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly shouted: "Holy crap, it's really you, I just said it looks familiar."
Cody couldn't figure out the situation and asked doubtfully: "Um, what's wrong? Do we know each other?"
The young man grabbed Cody's neck and shook it hard, scolding: "You guys, if fighting wasn't allowed in the academy, I would have beaten you right now. Do you know that you rushed in like a giant war beast yesterday? Take pity on me." The meal I just had was knocked over by you as soon as I brought it to my hand. Most of it was pushed out by the people behind me. I was starved for the whole night without eating. I even lost one of my shoes. Do you think I should be beaten? you."
Cody secretly exclaimed that it's not that enemies don't get together. He rushed so fast yesterday that he didn't care who he bumped into. He grabbed the young man's hand and held it down. "Senior, stop shaking it. If you try again, I will vomit." He took the young man's hand. Pulling it off, he continued, "I didn't know there was a senior in front of me. Besides, there were so many people at the time. Even though I moved a little bigger, I was squeezed in and couldn't control myself at all."
The young man refused and said, "I don't care, so I decided it was you. I don't remember the others. You made me hungry all night. I want to think about how to make you compensate. With that, when it's time to eat, I will I'm looking for you. You are responsible for clearing the way for me in front. You don't know. With my small body, I usually can't squeeze into the front. Yesterday, I managed to get the first batch of food but I was knocked out by you. Do you know that? How hurt I am." He squeezed his eyes and took Cody's clothes to wipe away the unshed tears.
Cody was speechless. He met two strange magicians after two days here. He just said helplessly: "Okay, senior, I promise you. I squeezed for a long time without even shedding a tear. Don't you just want to find a coolie for me?" Are you opening the way? Really, it’s so disgusting.”
"Hey, what are you talking about? You are not a coolie, you are my brother. My brother will depend on you for food in the future. By the way, my name is Moses. If you have any problems in the college in the future, just come to me. Although my brother doesn't I have a lot of skills, but the advantage is that I have stayed in the academy for a long time. There is basically nothing I don’t know." The young Moses wiped his nose, put his arm around Cody's shoulders and smiled.
The two chatted and laughed along the way, and soon came to a relatively remote attic. Moses said: "Okay brother, this is where Master Gan is, I won't go in, I always feel depressed when facing Master Gan. "
After Moses left, Cody knocked on the door.
Soon the door was opened, and a stooped old man came out and said to Cody in a gloomy voice: "What's the matter?"
Cody said respectfully: "Hello, mentor, my name is Cody, Master Gan asked me to come."
The old man forced a smile after hearing this, "You are Cody, drive me in, Master Gan is upstairs, I will take you to him. I am not a mentor, I am Master Gan's housekeeper, just call me Jifu That’s it.”
Cody wasn't sure. Barton Academy was full of magicians, so how could there be butlers? But when I think about it, I feel relieved. After all, Master Gan is old and still a magician, so he always needs someone to take care of him.
Coming upstairs, Cody saw that everything was filled with books and all kinds of strange things he had never seen before. Butler Jifu knocked on the door of a room, then opened it directly and said respectfully, "Master Gan, Cody is here." After that, he turned and left.
"Master Gan, what do you want from me?" Cody stood at the door and looked at Master Gan sitting inside. Opposite him was an old man who looked to be the same grade as Master Gan but had no hair. Behind him stood an old man with the same age as him. A boy of about the same age.
Master Gan waved his hand and said, "Close the door."
After Cody closed the door, he walked next to Master Gan, holding his hands together nervously.
"Cody, cast your magic." Master Gan looked at Cody and said.
"oh."
Cody stretched out his right hand, and a ball of flame immediately appeared, floating on the palm of his hand.
Master Gan laughed: "Have you seen it, old man? This is the person I am looking for. If you still don't believe it, now you have seen it with your own eyes. Do you want to admit defeat or not?"
The old man opposite Master Gan looked ugly and asked Cody: "Are you really the one Gan just brought back yesterday?"
Cody didn't know what was going on, so he answered honestly: "Yes, master."
The old man snorted, wiped his hand on the table in front of him, and a dark golden ring appeared. He took a last look at it reluctantly, stood up, and left with the young man behind him who was too shocked to respond, leaving only one sentence, "You're lucky this time. I'll give you a bet. Don't call me a scoundrel outside in the future."
After the old man left, Cody withdrew his hand and carefully asked Master Gan, who was stroking the ring left by the old man with an excited expression, "Master Gan, what are you doing?"
Master Gan played with the ring and motioned Cody to sit down, and said: "It's okay. I just won the bet and the old guy took a piece of meat from this iron rooster. He thought he could trick me by preparing in advance, but he didn't expect it. In the end, I have to make a clever move, it’s not easy to make him get some blood. It’s up to you, Cody, to tell me what reward you want.”
Cody was confused as he heard this, wondering where Master Gan was, and said: "Master Gan, I haven't done anything, and I don't want any reward. I'm very satisfied if I can study in the academy."
"No, I feel uncomfortable if you don't want anything." Master Gan seemed to like the ring in his hand very much, his eyes never left for a moment, and his mood was also affected, and he talked a lot more. "By the way, your current strength is too weak, and you can't use the good things I gave you. I'll give you this. It just suits you and you can use it in the future. Okay, please step back first."
Taking the object thrown by Master Gan out of thin air, Cody quickly caught it and looked at the strange paper-like thing in his hand. He didn't know what it was, but what Master Gan gave him was definitely good, so he thanked him quickly. Seeing Master Gan who was still immersed in joy, Cody didn't stay long, said goodbye and left.
After Cody left, Master Gan put the ring away for a long time and muttered: "The old guy wants to fight me, but he's still far away. Hey, where's Cody?"
Seeing that Cody was no longer in the room, he remembered that Cody had left. He couldn't help but hit his head and said angrily: "It's bad, I forgot the really important thing. But it's okay, this kid is still here anyway." Academy, call him over tomorrow.”
