362. The welfare of the dean
In front of everyone's eyes, I gently nailed the gem base to the center of the magic pattern circle, and then knocked down a fragment from the magic crystal, and carefully placed it on the gem base, the red copper magic rune board flashed with magic streamers, a trace of fire elements emanated from the magic rune board, the temperature on the rune board rose little by little, the air exuded a scorched smell, and a cyan flame steamed from the rune board.
The surrounding classmates let out a low cry.
"It's that simple?" asked Dean Freeman, surprised.
I put the Magic Pen in my Magic Purse and said to Master Freeman, "That's right, that's how the Flame Gathering Spell works, it's so easy!"
The three giants of the Royal Academy of Magic gathered together, looking at the extremely simple copper rune plate, and a look of relief appeared on their faces.
"I'd love to know, how did you solve the fire elemental mana required for 'general magic'?" the dean of the Royal Academy of Magic looked at me and smiled faintly, his deep eyes as bright as the starry sky after a summer night rain.
When he stared at me, it was as if he was seeing every capillary in my body, which gave me a sense of panic that I couldn't hide.
My heart seemed to be held tightly by a big hand for no reason, and an irresistible restraint arose from the bottom of my heart.
It's just that the dean didn't dig deeper, he just took the rune board on the table in his hand, and didn't see how he put it into the magic waist bag, just shook his hand, and the rune board disappeared between his five fingers at once.
He turned slightly, made some eye contact with the Vice Dean, and then said, "Of course, every mage has their own secrets, but it's good to be able to master the drawing skills of general magic, which means that you already have something unique in the magic realm." ”
The dean's evaluation of my taste was only one sentence, 'This is very good', but at this time, the eyes of the crowd around me already had some other taste, and the curiosity and indifference at the beginning immediately turned into envy and jealousy, and everyone grew their mouths and tried their best to stand on tiptoe, wanting to see the copper rune plate that had been affirmed by the dean through the gap in the crowd.
More magicians crowded over to the exhibition area, and there was a lot of discussion behind the crowd: what exactly was the general magic that the dean was talking about, and what was so strange about the magic pattern circle drawn on a copper rune board.
However, the nobles who walked into the area at the beginning and signed an oven order with Noah and them, after hearing the comments of the academy's high-level officials, realized that the magic oven they had temporarily ordered had actually attracted the attention of the academy's higher-ups, and they were also very honored.
The crowd of onlookers gathered more and more, and even with the magic teachers and teaching assistants from the teaching office maintaining order on the scene, the entire road around the fountain was almost blocked.
Seeing that the scene was becoming more and more uncontrollable, the two deans of the college walked out of the exhibition area of our class together, the onlookers who were in front of the dean retreated, the crowd pushed back like a tide, and the two deans chatted in a low voice while walking towards the next class exhibition area.
Maybe it was because the dean and the vice president valued me very much, and the dean Freeman's eyes changed, and he chased two steps behind the vice dean, whispered a few words in his ear, and saw the vice president nod slightly, before stopping, turning and looking at me with a pleasant face.
He reached out and patted me on the shoulder, and said to me in an encouraging tone, "Jiga, you have done a great job, please go to the back of the line, you have earned the right to have dinner with the Dean after the Summer Festival." ”
With that, he hurriedly took two steps forward, following the two deans of the academy, and a group of scholars from the academy also followed.
As Abel passed by me, he looked at me deeply, as if he wanted to say something to me, but hesitated, and finally did not say anything, I guess: maybe he wanted to ask about the current situation of Ruka the Minotaur.
Scholar Sean made no secret of his relationship with me, and when he passed by me, he patted me on the shoulder affectionately and said to me, "Hey, Jijia, well done!"
The old magician who walked beside Scholar Sean gave me a serious look and walked past me with a blank face.
At this time, Melville, the magic rune mentor, walked up from the crowd, he had a thick beard, and when he spoke, his voice was so thick that it was like playing a drum: "Being able to connect the moonlight ink with the red copper rune plate so perfectly, the lines that conduct mana are so smooth, and the concentration of fire is ten centimeters above the rune board, the control of these details shows that you have skilled magic pattern seal carving skills, why haven't I seen you in the inscription society?"
I still have a deep sense of awe for the most famous magic rune scholars in the Royal Academy of Magic. He was a tutor at the Inscription Society, and I said to him, "Mr. Melville, I am not a member of the Inscription Society, I am a member of the Sword and Rose Society. ”
Teacher Melville inevitably showed a hint of disappointment, and only said, "I see, no wonder I don't know you." ”
But then Melville said, "However, since you have such a rare talent for magic, why don't you try to become an inscriptionist?"
I was about to explain to him that I was an assistant to the Yarkis scholars, studying inscriptions with the Yarkis scholars at the Imperial Capital Academy of Magic, but apparently he had no intention of talking to me more, and he didn't give me a chance to speak.
He continued, "Of course, I'm not denying that there is anything wrong with the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts pursued by the Sword and Rose Society, but I hope that some young magicians with this inscription talent can pay attention to the inscription, comprehend some mysteries in the magic runes, and have a deeper understanding of the magic runes." ”
After saying these words, he walked forward with the teachers of the academy, and the magic teachers of these colleges were like stars holding the moon, surrounding the two deans who were walking at the front of the line.
The words behind "Mr. Melville......" were blocked in his throat, and he didn't shout out anything.
At this time, Kige, who was at the end of the scholarly procession, passed by me, and looked at her with a smile on her face, feeling as if she had something to say to me, but in front of everyone, she had to maintain her nobility and pride, so we agreed that even if we usually met on foot, there would be no more communication than greetings.
The perfume smell on her body is always so unique, and it is clear that she is in a good mood today.
On hot summer days, there is always a cool breeze blowing around her, and I think it may have something to do with the magic robes on her body, or maybe it is the reason why one of the magic ornaments on her body has a wind-based magic array.
A ball of magical parchment somehow fell into my palm, leaving me stunned.
Before I could figure out how Kig quietly shoved the magical parchment into my palm, I was overwhelmed by a group of magical students who followed the scholar's line, and I could only put the magical parchment in my pocket, and I was staggered by the crowd, and I was carried forward by the crowd of magical students.
"Hey, you're lucky enough to be a first-year student when you were invited to a dinner with him at the same table as the Dean. A senior who walked next to me said to me happily.
At this time, I happened to look back for Noah, but apparently Noah was not invited, joined the crowd, and watched Noah and Joe standing in the class exhibition area, waving to me excitedly, and I could only reach out and shake them, and then glanced at the seniors next to me.
Seeing my ignorant look, the senior smiled disapprovingly, and with the joy on his face that could not be suppressed, he explained to me, "You don't know what a great honor it is to have dinner with the dean, do you?"
I nodded honestly.
"Every student in the Academy of Magic wants to have such an opportunity, because after the dinner, the Dean can answer a question from each of the students who are invited to the dinner, and if you don't know what to ask, you can also ask the Dean to give you a suggestion, which will often make your future path as a magician easier. The senior huddled around me and said to me.
It's no wonder that everyone on campus is so active in preparing for the celebration of the summer festival every year, and it turns out that there will be such benefits inside, I guess Noah doesn't know!
"It took me three years of hard work to design the 'Flame Flame' of fire-based magic into a magic trap. The senior of the fire magic class seemed to be a little overexcited, and he couldn't wait to find someone to pour out the joy in his heart, and he raised his eyebrows.
It turned out that he was the senior who designed the 'Flame Flame' magic trap in the first class of the third-year fire department, one of the three most popular magic designs at the Summer Festival Festival, no wonder he was so excited, I thought to myself.
He continued, "In the past, maybe this fire-based magic trap of mine wouldn't have been rated as an excellent magic idea, but this year is a little different. ”
Seeing me looking at him and waiting for him to say, 'What's different this year?' the corners of his mouth couldn't hide a smug smile, and I thought his smile was a bit cheap.
"The plane war! The war has started, and many people have died, and those noble families with rich planes are busy because of this, but the priests in the temple are staying out of the matter and putting on a show of not helping each other, what! This is obviously to see the good show of our Grimm people!" he said indignantly.
"So, at this time, all the designs that are beneficial to this plane war will be taken seriously, just like this magic trap of mine, to be precise, it just draws the magic skill on the magic rune board, make a little change, in the past summer festival, such a design will hardly be rated as excellent, but this year is different! You may not know how many small lords of the marquis level want to buy this magic trap blueprint from me in private......"
The senior was still proudly telling me about his creative experience, Ivan squeezed up from behind, put his arm around the senior's shoulder, smiled coldly at me, interrupted the senior's words, and said unceremoniously: "Hey, Clark, I think if you know that the young junior standing in front of you is a character who is bold enough to fight with Duke Ryan for a woman at Prince Eric's ball, I don't think you will speak in such a relaxed tone, after all, how serious the consequences of offending a duke are, you should know without me!" ”
The senior, Clark, looked at me dumbfounded, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Seeing that I acquiesced in this matter, he looked at me with great admiration, but did not nag.
After saying that, Ivan squeezed around the group of young people from the Inscription Society.
Perhaps it was this group of young magicians who gave him some courage to say these things to my face.
"Hey, Ivan, since he can be favored by the Dean, it proves that he is qualified to enter the circle of excellent magical students, why are you saying those things!" a friend from the Inscription Society whispered to Ivan.
Although the sound was a little noisy, it was faintly reaching my ears.
"Even if we can get into the eyes of the dean, we are better after all!" Ivan's voice was full of magnetic and demagogic power, he was a very suitable leader, and every word he said was very incendiary.
The other members of the Inscription Society heard Ivan say this and thought it was true.
Ivan continued, "Just drawing a secondary magic skill on a copper rune board, you probably didn't see how simple the lines on it were, I did...... A lump sum ...... It only took one stroke to draw that magic pattern circle, oh, maybe that magic pattern can't be called a magic circle, it should be called a stick figure, haha!"
The friends around him asked Ivan curiously: "But Lord Dean said that this set of rune boards uses very rare 'general magic', Ivan, you have read the most books, do you know what 'general magic' is?"
"It shouldn't be something difficult! Maybe it's a synonym for low-level magic that doesn't go into the stream. Ivan said nonchaldedly.
"Ivan, I remember, is he the freshman who robbed you of the place of magical assistant in the Academy of Magic?" a friend suddenly realized and asked Ivan.
"Well, that's him. Speaking of which, the Magic Research Institute also participated in the exhibition of this summer festival, but this guy didn't rush over to help, just hid in the exhibition area of his class and barbecued meat, probably not participating in those designs, maybe he was discarded like garbage by that grumpy guy from Yerkes!" Ivan's voice was full of resentment.
The members of the Inscription Society probably heard something about the grievances between me and Ivan, so they got together and talked about my various mistakes, saying that it was because of my appearance that Ivan could no longer learn inscription knowledge in the Magic Academy, which greatly affected the progress of the Academy's Inscription Society.
At this time, under the leadership of the two deans, a group of us coincidentally walked to the front of the exhibition area of the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute, where a large number of onlookers also gathered.
The Yerkes scholar was standing on the booth, explaining a set of demonic structures, and there was a lot of agitation in the crowd around him.
