With the previous experience, Amir was able to complete the assessment of the great magician, although it was not easy, but he was familiar with it.But he was not in a hurry to complete all the trial tasks in one go, but returned to the Asshai Magic Association every time he completed a task, stayed with Kiki for a while, gave him some guidance and advice, and encouraged him and himself Grumble, say dissatisfaction.

Therefore, when he went back for the first time, Amir was not surprised to learn that Kiki had never left the Mage Tower because he was worried about getting lost.

"Maybe you can try to make a mark." Amir suggested pretending to ponder.

"Mark, set up a sign or something?" Keech asked with his head tilted.

"That's impossible!" Amir laughed. "Every building and every path in the Magic Association has a special meaning. If you increase or decrease at will, you will be severely punished."

"Then what should I do?" Keech pouted dejectedly.

"Use signs that only you can see... or understand." Amir really considered his words this time, and he still can't let Kiki know how much he knows him, so as not to mislead him. Keech runs away.

But it was difficult for Kiki to understand such a subtle hint, and he immediately frowned even tighter and pouted his mouth higher.

"You may have noticed that many animals divide their territory by smell." Amir was about to give an example, but found that Kiki had shown an angry face, and hurriedly explained seriously, "Don't be angry, dear, I'm not Makes you pee all over the place like a puppy, you're a magician, of course in a magician way, like—elemental?"

"By the way, elements!" Amir clapped his hands suddenly, pretending to be enlightened, "With your perception of elements, you can use elements as guideposts to guide yourself!"

"Elements?" Kiki looked at Amir in confusion, but still didn't understand what he meant.

It was only then that Amir realized that at this time, Kiki knew almost nothing about magic, and his understanding of elements probably remained on the same conceptual understanding as common sense such as wind, fire, water, and soil.

——It seems that in terms of guiding apprentices, he is really less talented than Tina.

Amir sighed helplessly, got up and took some magic books he brought back, picked out a few introductory books about magic elements and alchemy, and further led Kiki in the direction he needed.

Going out this time, Amir not only completed a trial task, but also went back to his mage tower, moved all his belongings here, and collected some basic magic materials and magic books on the way, preparing to let Ki Qi set out to learn alchemy.But when he returned to the Magic Association, he found that Keech was making slow progress in literacy, far from being able to read many books by himself in just one month like the last time he was with Hill.

Amir complained to Barosh about this, but Barosh complained, "That little thing is a stone that cannot communicate, and it is more willful than you said! I asked him to put the same word more After writing it a few times, I get angry at me, and now I haven’t even memorized a dictionary of the Chinese language in mainland China!”

——What are you doing with that thing on your back? !

Amir twitched the corners of his mouth, and then thought of Barosh’s background—as the princess of the first imperial family on the mainland, things like memorizing things and practicing calligraphy may really be just basic teaching, and those things that make people dizzy after reading Compared with the aristocratic genealogy and badge inheritance, the words contained in a dictionary are too childish.

——But the problem is that the person you want to teach is Keech, a guy who has been free and loose for 12 years, and will continue to be free and loose in the future!There are so many things like the original sound of magic that Kiki has never memorized until his death. How could he be willing to take the effort to memorize an even more meaningless dictionary?

Amir secretly sighed, and no longer had any expectations for Barosh, so he could only quietly give Kitch a common dictionary, let him try to learn by himself, and planned to extend the duration of the trial task Shorten it so that Barosh is sent away earlier, and Kiki is taught himself.

When Amir completed the second task and returned to the Asshai Magic Association again, Kiki had already made the "Elemental Pen" as he expected-although it was not in the form of a pen, but in the selection of elements The last time was the same as the last time.However, since it was impossible for Barosh to take Kiki out for a stroll, even though Kiki found a colorless element that could be used as a marker, he still failed to leave the same element signpost in the Magic Association as last time.

Amir praised Kiki with satisfaction, and promised to take him out to "make" road signs after lunch.

Seeing Kiki's upturned mouth, Amir realized that he likes such a compliment, and he likes this kind of pampering even more.

——Last time, how many things did he ignore!

Amir couldn't help but raised his hand and grabbed Kiki's black hair, feeling secretly.

After lunch, Amir took Kiki to visit the Magic Association as agreed, and introduced the places and landscapes he encountered on the road while walking.

Although Amir has no intention of sending Kiki to study with other apprentices at the Magic Academy, he still makes the Magic Academy the first stop on this tour-because he needs to let Kiki know where to go when he is hungry Have a meal.

The restaurant in the Magic Academy is free, as long as anyone who can enter the Magic Association can eat here, the quality and taste of the food are also good, not inferior to the dining standard of ordinary noble families.Although Baros is now in charge of taking care of Kiki, three meals a day are delivered from the college cafeteria instead of cooking himself like Avella.

——Barosh's education probably didn't include culinary skills.

Amir cursed inwardly, but looking at the familiar scenery, he remembered another thing.

Last time, Rachel, the female magician who was at odds with Tina, seemed to have caused trouble because Kiki didn't go to the academy, but this time he didn't hear Barosh mention similar things.

Amir was distracted when a somewhat neutral female voice came from behind, "Your Excellency Amir the Magician?"

Amir stopped in his tracks, turned his head and looked back, only to find that the person who stopped him was the female magician Rachel he had just thought of.

The life of this female magician can be regarded as a legend. Although she had never been promising in the Asshai Magic Association, she was only a junior magician, and she was double disgusted by Tina and Kiki.Perhaps because she was too frustrated in Yasha, Rachel left Lordain after Tina was promoted to a senior magician, joined the nationality there and became a magic guard for a certain tribe.Perhaps Yashai really made Rachel uncomfortable. After becoming a Lordanian, her magic level increased rapidly, and she even became one of the rare female great magicians in her later years.However, shortly after she became a great magician, the leader of the tribe who invited her to join the Alliance of Lordaene died, and she was involved in the struggle for the heir of the tribe, and was poisoned to death by a prince who wanted to fight for the leader's position not long after. .

——Whatever you want!

Amir secretly cursed himself with a crow's mouth, but the man smiled suspiciously, "You are..."

"My name is Rachel. We met before, when you sent Magician Tina back to the Magic Association." Rachel introduced herself a little nervously.

Amir couldn't help but startled.He could remember what Rachel said about sending Tina back to the Magic Association. At that time, Tina ran out to practice alone, but she failed to collect the alchemy materials she wanted, but provoked monsters to hunt them down. Hadn't met him and Gordon's gang of mercenaries, nine out of ten would have become a pile of feces in the forest.After rescuing Tina, he sent Tina back to the Yasha Magic Association, and they started dating since then, but...

—did he meet Rachel at that time?

Amir couldn't think of anything, and didn't bother to think hard, so he raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, and asked, "What's the matter, Magician Rachel?"

"I...I want to talk to you about your apprentice." Rachel was visibly more nervous, "The new semester of the academy has started for a few months, but your apprentice hasn't attended the academy yet..."

"I didn't let him go." Amir interrupted Rachel.

"But..." Rachel wanted to argue, but Amir was not interested in chatting with her any longer.

"The reason why I don't let my apprentices go to the academy is because I don't want a young eagle to give up its wings that can fly and run on the ground with a group of mules." Amir put away his smile and reprimanded, "It's still Yes, Magician Rachel, do you really think that the education of the academy is better than the targeted guidance of a great magician?"

After finishing speaking, Amir put his arms around Kiki's shoulders, led him away, and left Rachel on the spot.

After walking some distance, Kiki suddenly whispered, "I hate her."

"Why?" Amir was not surprised, but asked curiously.

"She said she wanted to talk to you about me, but from the beginning to the end, she didn't even look at me." Keech pouted.

Amir couldn't help laughing, and raised his hand to rub Kiki's black hair, but he was surprised by his sensitivity.He also knew that the reason why Rachel stopped him was to talk to him. As for whether Kidge would go to the academy or not, that was out of Everton's business.

"Don't pay attention to her, she's just a self-righteous junior magician." Amir patted Kiki on the shoulder and led him to the college's restaurant.

Amir was originally worried that he would meet Hill in the college, but until Kiki finished marking the location of the restaurant and the two left the college for the library, he didn't see the figure he least wanted to see.

However, some people cannot be avoided after all. As soon as they walked to the door of the library, three teenagers wearing apprentice robes like Kiki came out and walked across from Amir and Kiki.

Amir's heart tightened for a moment.

Of the three people walking across, except for the tall black-haired one who looked strange to Amir, Amir knew all the other two. The brown-haired and the smallest one was Kiki’s younger brother Rocky, and the other was flaxen. The one with hair was exactly the Hill he didn't want to see.

——It still happened.

Amir thought this way, but found that Kiki's hand holding him suddenly tightened.

——Are some things really predestined?

Amir's heart dropped suddenly.

Among the three people on the opposite side, only Rocky had seen Amir during the apprentice selection, but the first person to salute was a black-haired boy whom Amir didn't know, but it didn't look like he had any special intentions, more like It is a routine greeting when the subordinates meet the superiors.

Seeing the boy salute Amir, Rocky and Hill behind him bent down.

Naturally, Amir didn't want to talk to them, so he nodded slightly as a response, and then led Kiki into the library, passing them by.

After entering the library, Keech immediately relaxed his hands, as if he had let out a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter, dear, those apprentices seem to make you very nervous?" Amir asked tentatively.

"...The shortest one is my younger brother Rocky." Kiki replied with lowered eyes, "I hate him."

--Well? !

Amir couldn't help being taken aback, completely unexpected that it was not Hill but Rocky who caused Kidge's strange reaction.

"He..." Amir originally wanted to say, "Does he always bully you", but then he thought that Kiki is the elder brother. If he said that, Kiki would feel very embarrassed, so he smiled awkwardly and said , "He does look like a bad guy, the kind with a lot of ghosts, I didn't like it when I saw it in the town, but because he is your brother, I haven't told you all the time-if possible, I hope You can stay away from him in the future, I don't want you to become like him in the future."

——I don’t even want you to get mixed up with Hill beside him!

Amir secretly added.

"Who wants to look like him!" Keech pouted and replied displeased.

Amir smiled and didn't say any more, but he was relieved for a long time.Although he didn't know how Hill and Rocky appeared together, and that black-haired boy—yes, black-haired, that should be the child of the Lucifer family, the apprentice that Summerhaile accepted at the beginning of the year, the name It seems to be called Seacrest, a well-known genius boy in the Lucifer family.

Amir suddenly realized that, obviously, this time, Hill failed to get close to Tina because of Kiki, but climbed the big tree of Summerhalle.

——In a few years, Summerhale will be on Kesley's side. I don't know which prince Hill will choose this time?

Amir raised the corners of his mouth and smiled secretly gloatingly.

After discovering that Hill and Rocky were getting mixed up, and Keech didn't notice Hill at all when they first met, Amir immediately relaxed a lot.

Keech's dislike for Rocky has not changed at all since the last time, and Hill, who turned to befriend Rocky, will inevitably be hated by the house-hating and black.In this way, even if Hill wants to seduce Kiki again, Kiki will never fall for it as easily as last time. Sensitive and suspicious, he will only suspect Hill's ulterior motives, and then avoid him. It even... gave birth to a murderous intent.

——No, he hasn't taught Kiki to kill yet. Kiki at this time probably doesn't think of killing, at most he just beats him up.

Amir thought about it easily, and then left Asshai in a happy mood, and started his last trial task.
