After Susuo found out, he was lost for a while, and it was a blow to him not to be able to thank his savior in person. But soon, his attention was diverted by the newly announced make-up exam.
The primary exam was interrupted by the out-of-control of the Nightmare Forest for the first time since the establishment of the school, and it was also the first time for St. Pades to use the competition with Saint Soviet Glory College to make up the test since the establishment of the school. Together, it's extremely frustrating.
In the past few days, the junior college is full of discussions about this matter.
After a few days of getting along with Kevin and Raymond, they have become friends who talk about everything. After school in the afternoon, the two of them plunged into the dormitory head-on, summarizing and exchanging the news they had heard all day.
Thanks to them, Dilling and Susuo knew everything that happened in the college without leaving home.
Kevin said: "Headmaster McCreese wants to set up a barrier outside the Nightmare Forest, so he can't participate in this make-up exam." hold. What kind of magic circle to use and what spar is needed are all issues that need to be studied. As the headmaster of the unfortunate junior college, McCreess is duty-bound.
Raymond said: "Not only do I know that the headmaster of McCreese will not go, I also know who the team leader is this time."
Kevin raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be Melina's mentor?"
Raymond pouted at Dilin and said, "Do you know?"
Dilling shrugged blankly.
In the past two days, Hyde didn't know what medicine he took wrong, so he kept attacking him and made him use wind magic. Seeing that the make-up exam was approaching, his knowledge of water magic remained in place.
"It's your mentor." When Raymond said it, his expression was definitely not happy.
Kevin lowered his face and said, "No way?" Although he had never had in-depth contact with this legendary mentor, there was never a shortage of his legends around him.
Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Di Lin said innocently, "He didn't say it."
Raymond suddenly jumped out of bed, rushed to his bed, put his arms around his shoulder, and said eagerly, "Why don't you go and find out."
"What tone?"
"About the content of make-up exams and competitions." Raymond patted his shoulder vigorously, "At least let us know how to pass the exam, or have a mental preparation."
Dilling subconsciously wanted to refuse. Because in his memory, that person never answered questions well. But looking at the warm eyes and smiles of Raymond and Kevin, it became difficult to say the words of rejection.
"Isn't the instructor Hydein going to say?" Soso said. From birth to now, he has been afraid of many people, but Hydein can definitely rank in the top three. Every time he thinks of his smiling face, he feels a chill on his back. Not to mention Dilling who spends all day with him.
Raymond said: "Anyway, if you try it, you won't lose a piece of meat."
Di Lin was startled, only to realize that his resistance to Hyde was not because the other party would hurt him, but because... Every time he got along with him, he would show his weakness. The opponent's mana and understanding of magic are far beyond the range he can look up to. This gap makes him unable to help but want to stay away from the opponent. This is the instinct of the weak to maintain self-esteem.
…
underdog
Dilling was astonished to find that he had equated himself with the word. It was something he could never have imagined before he came to St. Pardes. As the heir of the Bassek family, the son of the valiant Duke Andrei, he has always lived in flowers and applause. Even in the study of magic, his talent has amazed the enlightenment teacher. From childhood to adulthood, he has always been the role of attention and admiration. It never occurred to me that one day I need to look at another person with an inferiority complex - of course, half of his attitude is because of Hyde's arrogant words and his attitude of taking pleasure in hitting him.
Seeing Di Lin's silence, Kevin thought he was embarrassed.
"I'll ask." Dilling returned to his senses.
He asked not because he wanted to know the answer, but because he wanted to change the status quo and change his mindset. And the first step is to face the strong man, then learn from him, understand him, and finally surpass him!
Thinking of this, he felt that the blood in his whole body was excited together with his heart.
"Good brother." Kevin said moved.
Dilling smiled back.
- However, he didn't mind letting Raymond misunderstand his motives.
It is not difficult to find Heidein. Since he left the lab to join the ranks of hard-working gardeners, he has spent most of his time in the library.
Dilling asked Luce for a cup of coffee, which he carefully brought over.
Before he could get close, he heard Hyde, who was sitting with his back to him, say with a half-smile, "You finally remembered to respect the teacher and respect the Tao."
"How do you know it's me?" Dilling also looked in front of him to make sure there was no reflective object such as a mirror.
Heidein Shi Shiran said: "Because you are not me."
Dilling put the coffee on the coffee table in front of him.
Hydein closed the book, took a sip of coffee, frowned, "You don't like coffee?"
"How do you know?" He prefers tea.
"Because you must have never drank the one you made yourself." Hydein frowned and took another sip.
Dilling's face flushed slightly.
"Come to ask about make-up exams?" Hydein mentioned voluntarily.
Di Lindao: "Are you in charge of leading the team?"
Hyde hesitated for a while holding the coffee, and finally decided not to continue his taste, put down the cup and said, "Well."
"The content of the test is to compete with Saint-Sauveur?"
Hyde raised his eyebrows with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "I have great confidence in you."
Di Lin was flattered with a smile, and then his face slumped again, always feeling that he could not praise himself so kindly. Sure enough, Hydein added: "Your swordsmanship is good."
"I'm a student of St. Pardes," Dilling emphasized. As a future magician, he felt that it was an insult to be praised by his mentor for his swordsmanship.
Hyde turned a blind eye to his anger, "Are you sure you won't use swordsmanship at critical moments?"
Dilling opened his mouth, but did not answer immediately.
"Do you know why ordinary people can't fly?" Heidein suddenly brought the topic eight thousand miles away.
Dilling was also used to it, and replied seriously, "Because there are no wings."
"Yes, it is limited by the body."
Dilling felt that there was a deep meaning in his words.
"You can use swordsmanship but don't use swordsmanship, that's your own limitation." Hydein touched his chin, "How stupid does a person have to be to bind his hands and feet with ropes?"
Dilling knew that he was beating around the bush and scolding himself, and immediately said hard: "I believe I have enough judgment."
"I believe it too." Heidein's answer was once again unexpected.
Dilling looked at him warily.
"So," Hyde said slowly, "I warn you as a mentor..."
Dilling had a bad feeling.
"During the competition, you are not allowed to use any swordsmanship."
"… "
"It's not that you bind your own hands and feet this time, but I bind your hands and feet." Hydein smiled very happily.
Dilling resisted his anger and said, "Can I ask why?"
"As a student of the Magic Academy, he asked me why I didn't let him use swordsmanship in the make-up exam..." Hydein sneered, "Don't you think it's too funny?"
The red tide hit Dilling's cheeks again.
Hydein finished his coffee in one breath and stood up.
Only then did Dilling notice that he was not wearing a magician's robe today, but a small vest over a silk shirt. The waistcoat was tucked in, making Hydein's waist appear to be very slender, even matching Neia's.
Seeing Dilling looking directly at his waist, Hydein frowned, "I don't have any money in my pocket."
Dilling's face turned even redder, and he hurriedly looked away.
"What the hell are you looking at?" Heidein's curiosity was aroused.
"I," Dilling rarely hesitated, "look, look at your belt."
"I don't care." Hyde was even more suspicious.
Dilling took a deep breath and met his gaze, "It's because you didn't tie it, so I want to ask you..." He took out a belt from the space bag, "Do you need it?"
Heideyin stared, as if he wanted to see the traces of concealment on his face.
Dilling focused his eyes on the bridge of his nose, trying not to panic.
"Thank you." Hyde reached out and took away his belt.
Dilling breathed a sigh of relief.
Hydein suddenly lifted his chin lightly with the back of his hand, narrowed his eyes and said, "It's really weird."
No matter how weird he is, he will never tell the truth.
Dilling didn't start, and looked towards the door.
On the road in front of the library, many people ran past.
Heidein seemed to have noticed it too, and left him and walked out the door.
Dilling thought for a while, but followed.
A lot of people passed by outside the door, all with raw faces, until one person passed by in the crowd, Di Lin couldn't help but let out a cry, "Huh?"
Heidein stood closest to him and asked, "Know?"
Dilling replied honestly: "If I am not mistaken, one of the people who passed by just now was Robert White from the Intermediate School."
"Intermediate Academy?" Hyde disappeared in place with a sudden flash.
Because of his speed, Dilling couldn't even see where he was going, let alone catch up. He waited in place for a while, thinking about whether to go back first, when he saw Hydein come back in the blink of an eye.
"There's a man named Joni in Shaman Lille, do you know him?" Heidein asked.
Joni? Princess Joni
Dilling's body was shocked.
Heidein said: "That is to know."
"What's wrong with her?" His heart beat faster involuntarily.
"She has come back."
"..." All the expressions on Dilling's face returned to blank.
