At night, the dormitory of Chengzhai College.
There was a sound of a key turning, the thick wooden door creaked, and a black-haired girl pushed open the door and returned to this quiet residence.
The bedside lamp in the bedroom is lit. The bright yellow light is not too bright, but it also brings a little warmth in the dark night.
"Loren Hill is back." The red-haired girl in the room saw Roland Hill coming back, stood up a little excitedly, and followed Roland Hill into the spacious laboratory where things were kept, like a bird walking slowly , circling around her, watching Roland Hill curiously take out items from the storage ring.
"When did Keti wake up?" Roland Hill tied up his hair with ease, and then began to prepare dinner for the roommate who had slept for several days.
"When the sun was about to set, I woke up and didn't see Lorraine, so I stayed in the room and read a book." Keti looked like she was quick to praise me for being well-behaved.
"Mmmm, Keti is awesome." Roland Hill touched Keti's red hair, then took out a few potatoes he bought late and asked Keti to help peel them.
"It's enough to peel off the skin, remember not to roast it with fire." The girl recalled the last time, and Keti directly turned the potatoes into fiery red charcoal.
"I know."
Although extraordinary abilities are indeed very convenient in life, occasionally Roland Hill still makes something with his own hands, which may be more realistic.
The purple onion was cut in half and soaked in water, then the meat I bought tonight, cut into pink and white strips, then the potatoes, green peppers, and onions were shredded. Then it's frying.
An iron pot was placed on the small stove originally used to heat the crucible. The hot oil squeaked, and various ingredients were tumbling in it. Then, salt and seasonings were added, and a very appetizing fragrance burst out.
While the dishes were just out of the pot, Roland Hill asked Keti to serve two bowls of rice, and the two sat at the small table by the window and ate.
Speaking of which, Lorraine Hill only started cooking stir-fry at school this semester. In the first grade, he usually cooked something, or made desserts and pastries with Bumantha. The main reason is that the kitchen in the first-year dormitory is too small, there is no suitable kitchen utensils, and the dormitories are too close together. If we do it, I am afraid that it will not attract students from four or five dormitories in the nearby dormitory to watch.
This year, the place where I live is much better. The walls are very thick, the sound insulation effect is good, there are no students around, and the roommates also eat whatever they feed, so there is no need to think too much about taste.
"Delicious, Lorraine."
After eating the dishes on the plate, Keti made a happy sound.
-----------------------------
On the other side of the academy, Osuna also only attended the celebration dinner after the game. Although he did not win the championship, the runner-up result was also very impressive, and there was no reason to give up.
At the banquet, Osuna maintained a smile on the surface, thanking those who supported her, but she was actually a little absent-minded. Originally, losing the game made her feel a little uncomfortable, but when Jerain and the people from the 'True Red Rose' club appeared, it made her even more unacceptable.
"The Guard is Here"
There seemed to be a stagnation in her heart that she couldn't let out, and it kept stuck there, but in order to maintain her image, she still had to keep a reluctant smile. After the dinner, she said that she was tired today and needed a rest, so she declined some of the following activities. , left the restaurant.
In the next few weeks, she began to inquire about the black-haired girl in various ways. As she learned more and more information, she became more and more sure of her previous thoughts.
This girl named Lorraine often misses some classes, sometimes for several days. Not only that, her past is almost blank. Although it looks like an oriental person, it is from Crancia, the former West Wind Kingdom.
But Osuna herself had also been in the circle of the West Wind nobles before. Given that she and Lorraine were similar in appearance, the other party's appearance was so outstanding, it should have been famous for thousands of miles. Who would be a serious person who would hide from the world since childhood, she said it was just a lie.
The reason why he said he was from Crancia was probably because the country had just been established, and in the chaos of dynasties changing, the household registration and past events were covered up by wars and drastic changes, so it was convenient to set his origin.
"It's fine if you're as unknown as before, but now you've stood up, you have to accept all kinds of questions and inquiries. I'm here to see, how long can you keep your aloof appearance?" Osuna I made up my mind and started planning.
A few days later, various news began to circulate in the academy.
"Have you heard? It's the girl who won the 'Rainbow Bottle' competition before." The two students sitting on the magic locomotive were talking to each other. This was the thread heading to the northern tower.
"What's the matter, it is said that she is very beautiful and has a good temperament."
"It was like this at the beginning, but now some people say that her grades are fake. Think about it. Over the years, Emenas has produced countless amazing talents, but none of them can invent the pearl class during school. Pharmacy. Refining medicine is not like other things, it not only requires talent, but also a lot of experience and operational insights, which cannot be cultivated in just a few years..." A student said with a serious analysis.
"It seems to make some sense." The classmate nodded.
"Let me just say it. Besides, you can see that she often doesn't come to class. She must be doing shameful deeds. So is the school teacher. No one cares about this kind of thing."
Although many people did not believe these news, some students eventually began to doubt it.
It was another Wednesday, and today was the alchemy and pharmacy class. Lorraine Hill did not show up in the class because she was studying medicine at Temple College.
A follower of Osuna asked the teacher in class why Lorraine often didn't come to class
The teacher stood on the podium and looked at the curious eyes of the audience. He raised his hand slightly to calm everyone down.
"I know that you may have heard some rumors recently, but in Emenas, the sages think and know more than you."
"Everyone's doubts are unnecessary, strength is strength, and Miss Loren's talent and attainments are indeed beyond most people, the current course is not very useful to her, so she will spend more time on Self-taught."
"If you also want to be like her, you don't have to go to class often, that's fine. As long as you can get the top three in the competition, even if you don't come to class every day, I will give you an excellent rating."
"It's not fair or not, it's just that everyone grows and learns differently. I hope everyone will pay less attention to such boring rumors and focus on their own learning and improvement. What does the good or bad of outsiders have to do with you? ."
When he said the last sentence, the teacher's eyes seemed to warn the student not to spread such false rumors, and let him sit down a little frightened.
