"Very good, you will be my apprentice from now on!" Pullman patted Miao Anyun on the shoulder generously. "We will start studying again tomorrow. You can go back today. There will be a welcome party specially for you in the evening!"
"Welcome party?" Miao Anyun seemed a little confused. In fact, he knew about this party through the plot.
Every year after the Imperial Capital Magic Martial Arts Academy admits new students, a welcome party will be held to welcome all new students. It was at this welcome party that Clarence met the time-traveled elf princess Ella Carol and fell in love with her at first sight.
"Don't you know?" Pullman was a little surprised. After all, the Imperial Capital Magic Academy's welcome party is very famous. He saw Miao Anyun nodded.
Suddenly I thought of the rumors I had heard before, that Clarence, the good-for-nothing of the Camilla family, stayed at home all year round and rarely went out. Although it has been confirmed that Clarence is not a loser, but maybe he is indeed a homebody who doesn't like to go out as rumored
This is also true. Clarence really didn't like to go out before. After all, no one wants to be criticized and looked down upon as soon as they step out.
"The welcome party is a banquet held by our college specifically to welcome new students..." After Pullman automatically came up with a reasonable explanation for Clarence, he showed a kind smile and explained to Miao Anyun. "Anyway, that's it, hurry up and get ready! Maybe you will meet some good partners in the future!"
"I understand, teacher." Miao Anyun saluted Pullman respectfully, showing noble elegance in every move, "Then I will go back first."
On the other side, Dylan's conversation with Lana has also ended, and he is looking here with complicated eyes. The two people's eyes happened to meet each other. Realizing that he had been caught peeking at Miao Anyun, Dylan blushed and quickly looked away.
The two returned to the freshman team together. Dylan was difficult to get close to, so the freshmen chose to surround Miao Anyun, who looked gentle and smiling. They started discussing in a flurry, completely forgetting who was still disdainful of him as a loser and a scum among the nobles.
There are those who praise, flatter, and want to build relationships. After all, Miao Anyun has a bright future at this time. He has the top qualifications in the entire continent, and the powerful Camilla family as his backstage. Now he has been accepted as an apprentice by Sword Master Pullman, and his future is bright.
"Clarence, this is simply a miracle from God. How did you do it?"
"Clarence, can I ask you to dance at the welcome party tonight?"
"Clarence, hello, my name is..., can we be friends?"
"Clarence..."
Of course, there are also those who are jealous.
"Isn't it the body of elements? Who knows if it is true or false!"
"That's right, how could he suddenly become a genius when he was just a loser before? There must be something wrong with this!"
"Perhaps I took that banned medicine and deceived the crystal ball. What's there to be proud of?"
…
Miao Anyun, who was caught in the middle of this group of people, felt that if he didn't have the props that he had redeemed with points, the smile on his face would probably be frozen now. Before his death in his previous life, he had been lingering on the bedside for many years. After traveling and doing missions, he was not very close to people because of his identity, so until now, his interpersonal skills have not been brightened.
Now he was suddenly sandwiched between so many people like meat pies, and he really wasn't used to it.
Don't ask him about how to deal with interpersonal relationships when he was the CEO in the second world. With the blessing of buffs at that time, he was naturally fearless. Although there is still another buff this time, the direction of adding points is different.
This time, his buffs are basically based on luck and qualifications. As for the rest? Sorry, no.
"That's enough! Didn't you hear me when I asked you all to shut up before?" Seeing Miao Anyun surrounded in the middle, with a quick flash of discomfort in her pale golden eyes, Dylan said immediately. He walked towards Miao Anyun and stood beside him.
Is he stupid? Since you don’t like listening to these people, why not refuse? Dylan was a little dissatisfied. As the most favored heir of the Camilla family, he could always be willful. So he didn't understand why Miao Anyun didn't say it directly even though he didn't like it.
After Dylan said this, the freshmen did not dare to say anything even if they were dissatisfied, so they had to retreat. Even a few of them who were still determined stopped thinking when they saw Dylan standing next to Miao Anyun like a door god.
"Thank you, Dylan." Miao Anyun thanked him in a low voice.
Dylan didn't look at him, as if he didn't want to be misunderstood at all. Only his red ears gave him away, and he was muttering something softly in his mouth.
Miao Anyun, who has keen senses, listened carefully and heard what Dylan was mumbling. What he said was - "I'm not helping you! No way!"
It's really awkward. Miao Anyun laughed dumbly. It seems like having more brothers isn't bad either.
The qualification test ended quickly, and after it was over, Miao Anyun and Dylan went back together. They had been assigned dormitories before this, and due to their privileges, they both had separate villas.
However, because of Bertha's instructions, they now have to go to Bertha's place together.
"Come in quickly." Bertha had been waiting for them early. As soon as they heard the doorbell, they were welcomed in.
Bertha made them a cup of black tea before asking.
"Is the test over? How was it?"
Bertha had actually received first-hand news from her mentor Lana before the two of them came over. But she always wanted to listen to her brothers' answers.
Neither Miao Anyun nor Dylan spoke first.
"Dylan?" Bertha blinked.
"..." Dylan was silent, and after a while he said: "My affinity for the water element is 95%... Sister Bertha, you should ask your brother."
"My dear brother, cheer up! I heard from the teacher that he has accepted you as his apprentice. This is really a happy thing! I believe that father and mother will also be happy," Bertha said.
"But! Compared to Clarence, I..." Nothing. Dylan wanted to retort, but was interrupted.
"Dylan!" Bertha looked at him quietly, very seriously, "I know Clarence's qualifications are very good. So, what do you think of me compared to Clarence?"
"Sister Bertha is the best in my heart!" Dylan has always admired Bertha, otherwise he would not obey her in everything. There were even things that he would do even if she didn't want to.
"In my eyes, you are also very good." Bertha smiled, "I said before that Clarence will become a dazzling star, and you will be the same."
"You have always made us proud! My father, mother, me, and even Clarence are all proud of you." Bertha paused before continuing, "As long as you work hard, your future achievements may not be as good as Clarence's. Lens, isn’t it?”
Dylan, who had been given a sip of chicken soup for the soul, immediately raised his head as if he was beaten to death, and his face turned red.
"I know, sister, I will definitely work hard in the future!"
"Of course, after all, you are my Bertha Camilla's brother!" Bertha smiled and nodded.
Miao Anyun, who was sitting quietly drinking black tea, felt a little confused when she heard the chicken soup that Bertha had fed Dylan. Why does this chicken soup sound so much like what someone said to him before the college entrance examination in his previous life...
Mu Anyun wanted to think about it, but he couldn't remember who said these words to him. Is it someone like a teacher? But he clearly remembered that he didn't hire any teacher at that time. How strange... He frowned.
At this time, Bertha happened to look over at him, and Miao Anyun immediately put the matter behind her and reported the results of today's test. Bertha said a few words happily and let Miao Anyun go.
Then the three of them chatted about other things. With Bertha acting as a moderator between the two of them, their previous atmosphere was harmonious for a while. During the chat with Miao Anyun, Dylan gradually changed his view of Miao Anyun.
He felt that his previous view of Miao Anyun was influenced by those people and was too superficial!
Miao Anyun, who wanted to ease the relationship, actually just chatted with him about magic. For a magical boy who is addicted to power (?), is there anything better than talking about these things to enhance the relationship
Before Miao Anyun came here, Clarence often read those magic secrets in the family library. Since there was nothing else to do, Clarence's favorite thing to do was to soak in books.
Except for eating and sleeping when necessary, he basically spent all his time reading. True Scholar Clarence said, I have memorized all the books in the family library.
Therefore, Miao Anyun thought it was okay to fool a fourteen-year-old boy.
#On the benefits of reading more books#
Time passed quickly, and several hours passed in the blink of an eye.
"Oh my God, is it already this time?" Bertha suddenly stood up and took out two sets of exquisitely crafted clothes. "Hurry up and prepare. The welcome party when you first enter school is very important to you!"
I took the clothes from Bertha's hands, and they were a perfect fit. The two hurriedly changed into them. It is indeed almost time for the orientation party.
After leaving Bertha's villa, the two separated halfway. They still need to go back to their dormitory, and the villa they live in is in two completely opposite directions, one to the south and one to the north.
"Dylan, see you later."
Miao Anyun smiled and waved to Dylan. Dylan turned his head away awkwardly, but still nodded towards Miao Anyun.
"knew."
