Holy Institution

After Suo Suo found out, he was at a loss for a while, not being able to personally thank the savior was a blow to him.But soon, his attention was diverted by the newly announced make-up exam.

It was the first time since the establishment of St. Padres that the primary examination was interrupted due to the out-of-control of the Nightmare Forest, and it was also the first time that St. Padres had been added to the make-up exam with a match with the Saint Sauvignon Academy of Glory. Together, it is very confusing.

In the past few days, the junior college has been full of discussions about this matter.

After getting along for a few days, Kevin and Raymond have become good friends who talk about everything.Every afternoon after school, the two of them plunged into the dormitory, summarizing and exchanging the news they heard throughout the day.

Thanks to them, Dilling and Suo Suo knew everything about the college without leaving their homes.

Kevin said: "Dean Mike Reese wants to leave an enchantment outside the Nightmare Forest, so he can't take part in this make-up exam." Hold on.What kind of magic circle to use and what kind of crystals are needed are all issues that need to be studied.As the dean of the junior college, who is facing bad luck, McReese is duty-bound.

Raymond said: "Not only do I know whether the leader of the team will go, but I also know who the team leader is this time."

Kevin raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be Mentor Melina?"

Raymond pouted at Di Lin and said, "Do you know?"

Dilling shrugged blankly.

In the past two days, Hyde didn't know what medicine he had taken wrongly, so he kept sneaking up on him and asked him to use wind magic.Seeing that the make-up exam was approaching, his knowledge of water magic was still in place.

"It's your mentor." When Raymond said, his expression was definitely not happy.

Kevin lowered his face and said, "Isn't it?" Although he has not had in-depth contact with this legendary mentor, there is never a shortage of legends around him.

Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Di Lin said innocently, "He didn't say that."

Raymond jumped out of bed suddenly, rushed to his bed, put his arms around his shoulders, and said earnestly, "Why don't you go and find out."

"What tone?"

"About the make-up exam and the content of the competition." Raymond patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "At least let us know how to pass the test, at least we should be mentally prepared."

Dilling subconsciously wanted to refuse.Because in his memory, that person never answered questions properly.But looking at the enthusiastic eyes and smiles of Raymond and Kevin, it became difficult to say no.

"Mr. Heide won't say it, right?" Soso asked.From birth to now, he has been afraid of many people, but Hyde can definitely be ranked among the top three.Every time he thought of his smiling face, he felt a chill run down his back.Not to mention Dilling who gets along with him all day long.

Raymond said: "Anyway, you won't lose a piece of meat if you try."

Di Lin was taken aback, only to realize that his resistance to Hydein was not because the other party would hurt him, but because...every time he got along with him, he would show his weakness.The opponent's mana and understanding of magic are far beyond what he can look up to. This gap makes him want to stay away from the opponent involuntarily.This is the instinct of the weak to maintain their self-esteem.

……

underdog?

Dilling was surprised to find that he had equated himself with this word.It was something he could never have imagined before coming to St. Padres.As the heir of the Baseco family, the son of the brave Prince Andrei, he has always lived in flowers and applause.Even in learning magic, his talent amazed the first teacher.Since he was a child, he has always been the role of attention and envy.He never thought that one day he would need to look at another person with an inferiority complex - of course, half of his mentality was due to Hyde's arrogant and conceited words and his attitude of taking pleasure in hitting him.

Seeing that Dilling was silent, Kevin thought he was in trouble, so he made a relief and said, "We'll know when the time comes, and it's useless to know first."

"I'll ask." Dilling recovered.

He asked not because he wanted to know the answer, but because he wanted to change the status quo and change his mentality.And the first step is to face up to that strong man, then learn from him, understand him, and finally surpass him!

Thinking of this, he felt that the blood in his whole body and his heart were excited together.

"Good brother." Kevin was moved.

Dilling smiled back.

——However, he didn't mind letting Raymond misunderstand his motives.

It is not difficult to find Heidein.Since he left the laboratory to join the ranks of hard gardeners, he spent most of his time in the library.

Dilling asked Lucy for a cup of coffee, and carefully brought it over.

Before he could get close, Hyde Yin, who was sitting with his back to him, said with a half-smile: "You finally remember to respect the teacher."

"How do you know it's me?" Dilling looked in front of him to make sure there was no reflective object like a mirror.

Heiden said calmly, "Because you are not me."

Dilling put the coffee on the coffee table in front of him.

Hyde closed the book, took a sip of coffee, frowned and said, "You don't like coffee?"

"How do you know?" He prefers tea.

"Because you must have never brewed it yourself." Hyde frowned and took another sip.

Dilling's face flushed slightly.

"Ask about make-up exams?" Heiden offered to ask.

Dilling said: "Are you in charge of leading the team?"

Hyde hesitated for a while while holding the coffee, but finally decided not to continue his sense of taste, put down the cup and said, "En."

"The content of the test is to compete with Saint Sauvignon?"

Hyde raised his eyebrows, with a trace of teasing in his eyes, "I have great confidence in you."

Dilling smiled flattered, and then his face fell down. He always felt that it was impossible for him to praise himself so kindly. Sure enough, Heiden added: "Your sword skills are good."

"I'm a student of St. Padres." Dilling emphasized.He felt it was insulting for a future magician to be praised by his mentor for his swordsmanship.

Hyde turned a blind eye to his anger, "Are you sure you won't use swordsmanship at critical moments?"

Dilling opened his mouth, but didn't answer immediately.

"Do you know why ordinary people can't fly?" Heiden suddenly changed the topic to eight thousand miles away.

Dilling got used to it, and replied seriously, "Because I don't have wings."

"Yes, it's a physical limitation."

Dilling felt that there was a lot of meaning in his words.

"You know how to use swordsmanship but don't use swordsmanship, that's your own limitation." Heiden touched his chin, "How stupid must a person be to tie his own hands and feet with rope?"

Dilling knew that he was beating around the bush and scolding himself, so he said forcefully, "I believe I have enough judgment."

"I believe it too." Heiden's answer was once again unexpected.

Dilling looked at him warily.

"So," Hyde said slowly, "I warn you as a mentor..."

Dilling had a bad feeling.

"During the match, you are not allowed to use any sword skills."

"..."

"This time it's not you who tied your hands and feet, but I who tied yours." Hyde smiled happily.

Di Lin suppressed his anger and said, "May I ask why?"

"As a student of the Magic Academy, I actually asked why I didn't let him use swordsmanship in the make-up exam..." Heiden sneered, "Don't you think it's too ridiculous?"

The red tide hit Dilling's cheeks again.

Hyde finished his coffee in one gulp and stood up.

It was only then that Dilling noticed that he was not wearing a magician's robe today, but a small vest over his silk shirt.The waistcoat was closed, making Hydein's waist appear to be very slender, and it was even comparable to Neia's.

Seeing Dilling looking at his waist, Hyde frowned and said, "I don't have any money in my pocket."

Di Lin's face turned even redder, and he hurriedly looked away.

"What are you looking at?" Heide's curiosity was aroused.

"I," Dilling rarely hesitated, "Look, look at your belt."

"I'm fine." Hyde became more suspicious.

Dilling took a deep breath, and met his gaze, "It's because you didn't wear it, so I want to ask you..." He took out a belt from the interspatial bag, "Do you need it?"

Hyde stared at him, as if he wanted to see the clues of concealment from his face.

Dilling focused his eyes on the bridge of his nose, trying not to panic.

"Thank you." Heiden reached out and pulled his belt away.

Dilling let out a sigh of relief.

Hyde suddenly lifted his chin with the back of his hand, narrowed his eyes and said, "It's really weird."

No matter how weird he was said to be, he would never tell the truth.

Dilling turned away and looked towards the door.

Many people ran past on the road in front of the library.

Heiden seemed to have noticed it too, leaving him behind and walking towards the door.

Dilling thought for a while, but still followed.

There were many people passing by outside the door, all with unfamiliar faces, until a person walked by among the crowd, and Dilling couldn't help but let out a cry, "Huh?"

Heide was standing closest to him, and asked after hearing the voice, "Know each other?"

Dilling replied honestly: "If I'm not mistaken, one of the people who passed by just now was Robert White from the Intermediate Academy."

"Intermediate Academy?" Hyde suddenly disappeared on the spot with a flash of his figure.

Because of his speed, Dilling couldn't even see where he was going, let alone catch up.He waited on the spot for a while, and was considering whether to go back first, when he saw Heiden come back in the blink of an eye.

"There is a person named Joni in Shamanlier, do you know him?" Heiden asked.

Joni?Princess Joni?

Dilling was shocked.

Heiden said: "That means we know each other."

"What's wrong with her?" His heart beat involuntarily.

"She has come back."

"..." All expressions on Di Lin's face returned to blank.
