While talking, Shuo Ling threw a brittle peanut towards Heika.
"Try, my grandmother's handicraft."
Heika opened his mouth and ate the snacks fed by Shuo Ling.
A salty, oily aroma seeps into the taste buds along with the crunch between the teeth.
"Is it tasty?"
Shuo Ling looked at the black card lying on the carpet.
Heika hummed.
"Small watermelon? ~ Do you want to try it too?"
Tian Li rolled her eyes at Shuo Ling. This is a rebellion against the big bug calling itself a little watermelon.
"Well, your grandmother's handicraft is quite good."
Tian Li mercilessly grabbed a handful from Shuo Ling's bag.
Although Shuo Ling looked distressed, he was not stingy.
On the one hand, the seemingly kind-hearted Heika actually joined Tianli in carve-up of Shuoling crispy peanuts.
"Hey hey~ You two gluttonous cats, take your time and eat. This is my snack reserve for a week."
Listening to Shuo Ling's stingy speech, Tian Li took all the crunchy peanuts from Shuo Ling's hand.
Shuo Ling couldn't resist completely, so he could only surrender with both hands under the threat of Tian Li's iron fist.
"Eat what you eat, I'll be fine if I drink some juice."
"Huh╭(╯^╰)╮!"
Tian Li glared at Shuoling, then got together with Heika to eat Shuoling's peanuts, and then previewed the textbook for tomorrow's class.
In the evening, the three of them were all tired, and after taking a shower, they each lay down on the bed.
Heika remembered the reply letter from his mother and forgot to read it, then turned on the light by the bedside slightly and read his mother's reply letter.
Heika's mother, Ms. Marianne, lives alone in Wake Village. As before, she takes care of the vegetable garden in the yard every day. From time to time, she helps the people in the village to check whether livestock such as cattle and sheep are sick. Everything was the same as when Heka left Wake Village.
Ms. Marianne was very surprised when she got the bank check from the black card.
Although the black card explained in the letter that he opened a private account and received unexpected income. But suddenly she got a large sum of money from her son, and Ms. Marianne was still very nervous. Repeatedly asked Heika not to easily tell strangers about his private account.
And Ms. Marian also told Heika in the letter that Mr. Cogne is a trustworthy and good person. If there is any confusion, maybe that Mr. Kogne will be someone worth relying on.
Heika knew that Ms. Marianne was still very worried about going to school alone.
In the letter, Heika asked a lot about eating and lodging in Long Academy. Heika thought of the promise he made with his mother when he left Wake Village.
He promised his mother that if she had the opportunity in the future, he would accompany her to camp in the beautiful Miracle Valley. Heika sincerely hopes that this is an agreement that can be realized as soon as possible.
Thinking of how Ms. Marian used to pretend to be strict with her, but actually cared silently, Heika couldn't help but crawled on the bed and wrote a reply letter to Ms. Marian.
Until late at night, the originally dimly lit dormitory returned to a deep silence.
The moon in the sky reflected the undulating eaves and the calm lake of the Dragon Academy.
The Dragon House shrouded in the moonlight also exudes a different kind of tranquility.
Until the moon slowly set and the sun slowly revealed half of its face from the other side of the mountain, the sound of children getting ready for class gradually began to resound in the dormitory of the Dragon Academy.
"Black card! Wake up! It's the first day of class this morning, and all the freshmen have to go to morning training!"
Tian Li nervously ran down from her bed, calling loudly to the other two roommates as she ran.
Shuo Ling covered his ears and turned over, as if he was still blaming Tian Li for disturbing his dream.
Heika also rubbed his eyes in a daze, and lifted the quilt.
"Tian Li, what time is it?"
"It's half past six in the morning."
Tian Li was brushing her teeth in her own place in the bathroom, while poking her head out to talk to Heika.
"Heika knows that Dragon Academy has a rule of listening to early training. You must arrive at the ancient bell hall on time at seven o'clock in the morning. Otherwise, if you are late, you will definitely be watched by everyone in Dragon Academy."
Heika shook his head, trying to force himself to wake up.
Both Heika and Tianli had finished washing and getting dressed, but Shuo Ling was still lying in bed.
"Shuo Ling! It's half past six, wake up!"
Heika reminded Shuo Ling while bowing his head and putting on his shoes with shoe extensions.
With great difficulty, Shuo Ling got up from the bed, and saw that the two roommates were all dressed up, holding their textbooks, and were about to go out. It was only when he woke up that today was the first day of class.
"Oh my god! Six thirty?! Do you have to listen to morning training at seven o'clock?!"
Shuo Ling rubbed his messy head, and simply turned over from his bed and jumped off.
Because the bed was still a certain distance from the ground, Shuo Ling twisted his foot directly.
Looking at Shuo Ling's scruffy look, Tian Li was speechless.
"You'd better be in the hall before seven o'clock, otherwise everyone will be waiting for you, and you will be hung on the wall as a celebrity for a semester."
"Shuo Ling, let's go first."
Heika looked at Shuo Ling who didn't even have time to say hello to them, and put on his clothes while putting on his shoes.
Tian Li and Heika indicated that they had to go out.
"Let's go, black card."
Tian Li and Heika left the student dormitory together.
The corridor is full of students who are going to the ancient bell hall to listen to the morning training together.
The senior seniors seemed to be used to the morning training at the Dragon Academy, and they seemed to be walking and chatting in a calm manner.
Tian Li saw that the seniors who were walking towards the hall of the ancient clock were not in a hurry, and the tension that she was worried about being late gradually calmed down.
When he was about to reach the hall of the ancient bell, he met a student from the Department of Internal Metals who came in from another entrance, and Sakuraba happened to be among them.
"Tian Li, Albert~"
Sakuraba saw the two of them at a glance, and stretched out her hand to greet them.
The roommate who was with Yingye didn't know what to say to Yingye, and watched Yingye running towards the two of them.
"Sakura, how are you?"
Sakuraba smiled sweetly when she saw Albert asking herself.
"My roommates are very nice, how about you?"
Yingye also heard from Tianli yesterday that Heika cleaned up the dragon house for her own dragon. Cherry Leaf helped pick out the hay pillow for the milk pot.
"I'm not bad either."
"I heard from Tian Li yesterday that you cleaned up the dragon house for your dragon, did you clean it up all day?"
It was rare for the three of them to get together again. While talking, they walked towards the ancient bell hall not far ahead.
Heika smiled and nodded with Sakuraba, explaining why he cleaned up all day.
"I guessed it a long time ago. When we met for the first time, Albert, you took great care of your dragon. It is certain that you will be worried that it will not be able to adapt to the new environment."
"Um."
"Yesterday, Tianli was still talking about it when she was helping to buy things. Aibo Te, everything is fine, but she is too led by her own dragon. Hahahaha."
Tian Li stood aside and coughed twice.
In fact, Heika also knew Tian Li's complaints about him.
"Please help me buy so many things yesterday."
"It's no trouble, we're just going by the way."
After the three of them entered the hall from the corridor on the side of the hall, they saw that the long tables of the four departments were already full of students waiting for the morning training.
Although it was not too late for Tian Li and Heika to come, compared with most of the students waiting in the hall, they were actually quite late.
In particular, some senior students are sitting at the desk seriously as if they are reviewing textbooks. It seems that I don't know how early it was in the ancient bell hall.
Sakuraba and Heika waved their hands and went to the long table of the Inner Metal Department to sit down with their friends.
Tian Li also sat down at the long table of the Outer Imperial Department with Heika.
Seeing the time on the clock in the hall getting closer and closer to seven o'clock, Heika couldn't help but worry about Shuo Ling who hadn't arrived in the hall yet.
"Tian Li, why hasn't Shuoling come yet? Early training is about to begin."
Tian Li also frowned.
"I called him both sides in the morning, and he refused to get up. If he is late on the first day of formal class, I guarantee that he will be laughed at by everyone from the beginning of school to the winter vacation."
Hearing the teacher's footsteps slowly approaching from the side hall, the only sounds left in the slightly noisy hall were the sound of flipping books and writing.
Just one second before Cogne appeared in the hall, the panting Shu Ling finally rushed in front of Heika and the others.
"stand up."
Julian, as the head of the fifth grade, spoke as Mr. Kogne stepped into the hall.
There was a clatter in the hall, and it was the sound of students getting up from their seats.
Teacher Kogne still had the familiar look, with gray and white curly short hair, thick myopia glasses, and a neat teacher's robe.
He walked slowly in front of everyone, nodded slightly to the students, then turned around and walked to the stage to open the school code that was placed obliquely in front of everyone.
It seems that because it is the closest to the dragon-shaped ancient clock, Mr. Kogne's voice of flipping the book is so clear.
Cogne looked at the book in front of him, and then looked up at all the students standing at the long table.
"Students, I am very glad to see everyone present here with such spirit on the first day of formal classes.
Are the new students ready to meet their new semester courses? "
Cogne had a smile on his face, looking gentle.
But looking at the reaction of most of the freshmen to Cogne, as if they didn't know what they heard from their seniors, they all looked at each other in awe, not daring to answer Cogne's question.
"Ready, Director Cogne."
Sparse people in the audience boldly answered, but Cogne tapped on the podium under him when he heard this reaction, and glanced at the students.
"What about the other freshmen, if you don't answer, are you not ready yet?"
Kogne's tone didn't sound harsh at all, but it frightened the freshmen to declare loudly with all their energy.
"Get ready, Director Cogne!"
The clear and powerful answer made Mr. Kogne show a satisfied smile and nod towards the students.
"Then next, I will read the school motto of Dragon Academy for everyone, as well as the introduction of the department that the students of each department need to keep in mind at all times."
