"Ah, how is this possible??"
Kate stood there blankly. He was so confident just now, but now he was so stunned.
He even thought there was something wrong with his ears. He patted his ears and it was normal. That means what he just heard was true. Eli and Rias passed the test, but he failed.
Did he fail the test?
How can this be?
He is Kate, he has always been number one, how could he fail the test? It didn't matter that Rias didn't understand him, but how could Eli, a guy who lived in the slums, pass the test.
"This is impossible, this is impossible!" Kate's body was trembling, and she couldn't accept this ending at all. He looked at Eli, who was more than ten meters away, and felt a surge of anger in his heart:
"Eli must have cheated, otherwise how could he have passed the test, and how could I have failed, it's absolutely impossible."
"I've always been number one, how could I fail? There's definitely something wrong with it, something wrong!"
Kate shouted loudly, and the voice spread throughout the library, and people who were about to leave were attracted by him.
Bachelor Lemon looked over, frowned and said, "This test is fair and impartial. Everything was conducted under the eyes of the three of me. We will never do anything that violates the guidelines."
Kate looked skeptical and couldn't accept it.
Today's scene seemed to turn his past into a joke, a dream he had made for himself. He didn't want to wake up, and he didn't want to wake up.
"If you want to read the test paper, we can check it at any time. Please stay calm. This is the library." Maester Lemon said softly to comfort Kate.
But Kate seemed completely unable to accept the reality. At this time, her eyes were bloodshot and she said in a daze:
"No way, no way."
"Eli must have bribed you, otherwise how could he pass the test? He is a pariah. Impossible, absolutely impossible!!" Kate's voice became louder and louder, and her emotions gradually lost control.
Maester Lemon frowned. There had been doubts in previous tests, but never like today, someone dared to be so presumptuous.
The other onlookers also shook their heads. Although they didn't know what happened, they insulted a bachelor like this. Even if his grades were good enough, it would be impossible for him to join the library.
The library will not recruit members who do not know how to respect other people.
"Kurt, Herman, throw this guy out." Bachelor Lemon gave the students on both sides a look, and the two walked out, preparing to send Wright out.
During this process, Kate was still resisting and shouted: "I want to check Eli's test paper, otherwise I will definitely publicize your unfair behavior everywhere."
Until now, he still can't accept that he actually failed the test. You know, he has always been number one!
"Show him!" Bachelor Lemon also had a hint of anger on his face at this time.
Herman and Kurt stopped, and one of them went to get the test paper, and soon returned and handed it to Kate.
Kate grabbed the test paper and flicked through it.
He looked at the full test paper. Every question was well-written and well-founded. Many of the questions Kate had forgotten or even didn't know before were completely imprinted in his eyes at this moment.
Especially for the last question, it turned out that he was really wrong and Eli was right.
"How is this possible?" After Kate finished reading, she fell back and collapsed on the ground.
"There are two other things. One is that you are fourth in this test. Even without Eli, you still failed the test.
Second, Eli’s score this time is number one, which is much higher than yours, and much higher. "At this time, Maester Lemon stabbed Kate twice, which almost made him faint.
The collapse of a person's belief often only takes a moment. This is Kate's situation at this time.
Kate's eyes were dull. Was her number one always just her arrogant fantasy?
Are all these people so stubborn?
Finally, he was dragged out of the library by several people.
During this process, Eli stood aside and watched without interfering.
His evaluation of Kate is that she can only see herself but not others.
After sending Kate away, everyone else also left, leaving only Eli and Rias.
"Kurt, you take Rias to handle the onboarding process. Eli, you come with me." Bachelor Lemon waved to Kurt.
Teko curled his lips. He was a dignified scholar, but now he was like a bodyguard. He was really an old man who liked the new and disliked the old!
Rias was taken away by Kurt. Before leaving, she gave Eli a strange look, as if she didn't expect that a commoner would have higher grades than her.
"Bachelor, what's the problem?" As Teko left, he, Hurt and Eli were the only three people left here.
The first words that Bachelor Lemon said made Eli stunned on the spot.
"Will you be my student?"
"student?"
Eli was a little surprised.
Maester Lemon has been an old man in the library for decades. He has a certain influence here and even in the entire King's Landing. He knows many people and even serves as a consultant to some nobles.
It can be said that although Bachelor Lemon is not a noble, he still has certain rights in this city, which comes from his knowledge and the development of a bachelor.
Being his student is naturally a very good thing. It is something that many people dream of, not to mention the help he may bring.
So when Maester Lymon asked this question, Eli immediately responded:
"Thank you, Maester Lemon, I am willing to become your student."
"Hahaha! Good, good!" Bachelor Lemon laughed.
He is already fifty years old, and has long since passed on the unremitting struggle for power and knowledge. In his past career, he has written many excellent articles, unearthed some unknown history, and even received praise from some nobles. invitation.
But only he himself knows that he still has some regrets.
That is, he has not trained a student who is good enough to inherit his ideas and continue to carry them forward.
Today, he saw Eli, and he felt that Eli might be able to do it.
There are many geniuses, but those who work as hard as Eli are rare. The road to learning and hard work are sometimes important, or even more important, so he came up with the idea of recruiting students.
"Well, hard work is a sharp sword, it will make you look at everything." Maester Lemon encouraged, looking at Eli kindly.
Eli winked at Han, trying hard?
What kind of misunderstanding did Maester Lemon have on him? He just studied for a while after work every night, only three or four hours, for half a month. Is this how hard he worked?
Eli felt that there must be some misunderstanding, but he was not going to expose it. If it was a misunderstanding, let this beautiful misunderstanding continue.
"Partiality, damn it!" On the side, the corners of Heman's mouth twitched.
When he became the teacher's apprentice, he was very casual and could not be so enthusiastic.
Sure enough, can love change?
"Do you have any other requests? Maybe I can help you." After Eli agreed, the smile on Maester Lemon's face never dropped.
"Well, there really is."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Can you advance my salary for a few months?"
…
Eli ultimately did not receive a salary advance from Maester Lymon.
Because the generous Maester Lemon directly gave Eli fifteen tals, asking Eli to find a place to live and buy some new clothes.
After being certified as a formal member, Eli left the library and returned to his small room in the slums. Speaking of which, Eli was quite lucky and did not encounter any trouble in the slums during this period.
"The test is over." Eli relaxed in the dilapidated room.
This time, he not only passed the test, but also became a student of Bachelor Lemon. This was a huge change for him, both in terms of identity and status.
"Poor Kate!" On the way back, Eli also saw Kate. At that time, he was sitting on the side of the road with a dull look on his face, and he was still muttering:
"Impossible, impossible...!"
"I hope he can cheer up." Eli shook his head.
There is no irreconcilable conflict between Kate and him, and the conflict between the two is not serious. Kate's behavior is entirely his own problem, and Eli can only pity him.
And he doesn't have much time to pay attention to other people.
Because he has other things.
Eli thought of Salin's notes, and a "greedy" smile appeared on his lips.
He has been looking forward to witchcraft for a long time.
