Chapter 29 The Hawthorne Family

In the dining room of the Hawthorne family castle, the long dining table is covered with the family crest.

The family emblem is based on a dark red shield. In the center of the shield is a black-brown walking bear, showing domineering and mighty power.

For Earl Martin Hawthorne, this family crest can very well reflect his temperament. After all, he grew up from a young soldier, then officially became a warrior, became the captain of a small team, and then from this captain became a hundred-year-old. Captain, then captain of thousands, and then worked all the way to knight, baron, viscount, and finally became the current earl.

Martin Hawthorne told his family about his successful experience again.

Alan Hawthorne and his brother Mario Hawthorne have listened to their father's insults for almost twenty years, and their mother, Elena Hawthorne, has even had calluses on her ears.

But the three of them just ate in silence at the dinner table, quietly listening to the old man's various boasts.

After Martin Hawthorne finally finished bragging, he stared at Allen and said:

"Alan, I heard that you went to the alchemy department to grow anemones. What's going on?"

When Allen heard this, he couldn't help but trembled in fright. His eyes had nowhere to rest, so he simply focused his eyes on the beer in his hand and said nothing for a long time.

After a while, a cup was smashed over, knocking the cup out of Allen's hand accurately, and Martin Hawthorne said angrily: "I'm talking to you, do you hear me? Are you deaf?"

"What are you doing?" Elena shouted to her husband, "Can't you just talk to me if you have something to say?"

"You have something to say?" Martin Hawthorne said angrily: "Look at this brat who doesn't even have anything to say, so how can he have anything to say? I ask you again, why do you plant anemones? I spend so much time How much money do you have to go to the Alchemy Department? Those are the departments where only the lowest level wizards and the least promising wizards go. "

Faced with Martin Hawthorne's repeated words, Allen remained silent because he knew that if his father could bring this matter up at the dinner table, he must know all the causes and consequences.

What my father needs now is a vent, not an explanation.

Sure enough, Earl Hawthorne said next: "Have you not mastered even one levitation technique? Are you worse than a poor person?"

After hearing this, Allen clenched his fists and felt dissatisfied, but he had no words to defend himself. However, this made him even more aggrieved. He could only gnash his teeth and tremble all over.

"No matter what, that teacher can't punish students like this. This is a waste of our children's time and talent." Elena Hawthorne looked at Allen with a distressed look.

"You should be punished. You can't even compete with a poor man. Can you call him a genius? I also heard that the poor man mastered the levitation technique in one day. That's called a talent. You have brought shame on our family."

Allen finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up directly by slamming the table: "There must be fraud. There must be something wrong with that Hawkins."

"Haha, whenever there is a problem, you say that others have problems, then tell me what the problem is?" Martin Hawthorne mocked.

"I..." Allen sat back down again as if frustrated: "I...I don't know."

"You don't know? Very good. I'll tell you the reason. It's because you're not as skilled as others, and you're lazy."

"I...I didn't." Allen felt aggrieved. He could scold him for anything, but he would definitely not accept scolding him for being lazy. Father, do you know how hard I work.

Martin Hawthorne pointed at Allen and said, "You cry? If you cry, I will dig out your eyes."

"Okay, okay, stop talking. Allen will work hard in the future." Elena Hawthorne quickly changed the subject: "By the way, wasn't Mario selected by the college to participate in the National Wizarding Competition?"

Sure enough, the person who understands Martin Hawthorne must be his pillow. As soon as Elena's words came out, his anger was relieved a lot, but he still said to Allen: "Look at your brother, he has been there since he entered school. He has always maintained the first place, and no one in the same school year can surpass him, and now he is the first in the entire college.”

"Alan, you were ranked number one when you entered school so quickly by the guy named Hawkins. Don't embarrass your brother, don't embarrass me, and don't embarrass our family."

At this moment, Allen's face was no longer angry, replaced by a numb expression and dull eyes, and his brain was gradually dulling.

"It seems there was a little accident." Mario Hawthorne said.

What's going on? The three Hawthorne people all looked at Mario, and Martin asked:

"What's going on?" Martin thought to himself, could it be that another commoner who surpassed the Hawthorne family appeared?

"Originally, no one signed up for this competition. Everyone is very self-aware. It was originally decided that the top two students in the entire college would participate as representatives. However, for some reason, the green-robed wizard informed us before school. Let’s have a qualifier.”

"No, there are still masters?" Martin Hawthorne asked doubtfully.

"How is it possible? My son has already said that he picked the top two in the academy. No matter how expert that person is, can he still be better than my son? Our Mario is number one." Irina said proudly.

Allen looked at his brother, and saw the dignified and gentle attitude of his father and mother towards him, and couldn't help but feel envious. He also knew that relying on self-pity for these treatments was useless, so he could only secretly vow to do his best.

"I dare not say he is a master, after all, he is just a freshman who has just entered the school." Mario said: "There are only two places. According to the rules, he must at least defeat the second-ranked student before he is eligible to participate."

"Freshman..." Allen felt a strange feeling in his heart. First of all, this student could not be outside the key class. Second, it could not be Luca and his friends. If they really signed up, he, as their boss, could not be unaware. So after excluding them, there is only...

"Brother, is that freshman called Hawkins..." Allen asked.

"Hawkins..." Martin Hawthorne murmured, thinking, why is it this guy again? If he beat Allen in the progress of learning levitation, this is normal.

To be honest, although Earl Hawthorne scolded Allen at the dinner table, he never really thought highly of Daniel Hawkins in his heart. The reason why he treated Allen like this tonight was nothing more than to give his youngest son some warning.

As for levitation, his real thought was that Daniel Hawkins was just a coincidence. In the end, Allen would definitely win the first place in the school year.

But now when he heard that Daniel Hawkins was going to sign up for the National Wizarding Competition, Earl Hawthorne just found it funny and couldn't help laughing out loud at the dinner table.
