On the second day after the qualifying competition, the teachers will select the most outstanding student based on their grades, and this person will be the leader of this class of students.The top ten will have the opportunity to compete with the seniors of the fifth grade and receive guidance.Therefore, according to the usual practice, this day has always been the highlight that people look forward to.

In the spacious auditorium, commoners and nobles gathered together and clearly divided their respective venues.

The well-dressed little nobles gathered together in twos and threes to talk in low voices, and the subtle aura of natural superiority made many commoners look down on them.They curled their lips and gathered around Angus. Angus's 22 group arena victories made Angus' popularity unprecedentedly high, and the commoners regarded this as a class victory, as if they could get the dignity and glory they lost from him.

One of them said with fanaticism: "Angus, you are much better than your brother! My God, I dare say, you will definitely get the best grades since the school was founded!"

His words won the approval of many people, but because they were concerned about the nobles not far away, people's praise was much lower.

But the loud voice of the guy who spoke first faintly reached the ears of others, and the little nobles frowned slightly—whether they were of one mind with Terrence or not, the belittling of the nobles in the boy's words still made them helpless Bear.A few angry young masters were about to walk over with sullen faces, but the people next to them grabbed their sleeves.

Xavier and Elvega were walking behind them, and they poured cold water on the heads of the little nobles with their cold and arrogant attitude, forcing them to calm down.No one is willing to make any inappropriate actions in such a situation where everyone is watching, and it is useless to care about a meaningless sentence.But some people began to criticize Terrence in their hearts, just like some people would seek dignity from others, and some people would blame others for their unhappiness.

Angus just glanced at the place where the nobles stayed, and then smiled and said to the people around him: "Everyone, please don't say that, brother Terrence is also working hard with his own strength, I just—" Angus Si tilted his head shyly and shrugged, "It's just a little more luck."

"No, you have talent, Angus. You've got real talent!"

"Talent is also a kind of luck, isn't it? This only shows that I am born with good luck." I am so lucky that I can stand on top of Terrence.

Angus blinked. Although he always attributed his victory to luck, everyone praised him more enthusiastically.The arrogance hidden under the words may not be noticed by everyone, but it does not prevent them from being impressed by Angus' inexplicable demeanor.

And Terrence just walked into the auditorium at this time. As the second protagonist in the hearts of the two parties, his arrival caused the hall with constant discussions to fall into subtle silence, but Terrence didn't seem to notice it.He was not seriously injured, and his face was still pale with weakness, but he still walked slowly to Angus, who was surrounded by the crowd, with a smile on his face.

"My dear brother, your grades are so good that I can't restrain the pride in my heart and want to congratulate you in advance. Although I left you alone at school, I am relieved now, Angus. You have performed well, and you must You will be appreciated by the Queen, and you will definitely be able to win the Lord in time. After all, you are a member of the Aldrett family."

Like a good brother, Terrence patted Angus on the shoulder with a smile, and then walked past him.As for how the guys he left behind reacted - who cares about that?

He found a place to sit down, turned his gaze to the side, and met Xavier's gaze.

Terrence raised his eyebrows and nodded at the cousin.Xavier put on a rare smile.

"It seems that he is in a good mood, and it seems that he has the chance to win." Terrence chuckled softly.

"Who are you talking about?"

Someone sat down on the chair next to him, and Terrence turned his head and saw the boy with short flaxen hair.

"Esaiah."

Terrence read the other party's name while looking diagonally behind.Angus was surrounded by the crowd, and he couldn't see anything except the moving heads.

"Your words just now really gave them a blow to the head. The scene was cold for a few seconds. I guess they all selectively forgot that Angus is actually different from them. But your brother does have good eloquence, no, be more precise Said, he is simply too good at this." Esaiah noticed his gaze and said in that direction.

"From the standpoint of class, you and they should have a common topic. But it seems that you are not close to that group of people."

Esaiah looked at his fingers: "People should rely on their own efforts to get everything - just to say this, Angus is indeed very good - those guys who only know how to complain about injustice before doing their best, I don't care. The way of thinking is the same as theirs. People can't choose their origin, but they can walk their own way, can't they?"

"That's a harsh statement." Terrence smiled and shook his head, "But I like it."

Esaiah was silent for a while, and lowered his head: "Actually, I just came to see how your injury is. You seemed to be seriously injured yesterday. I thought you would not be present today."

"There is a big show going on today, how can I be absent?"

"what did you say?"

"No, it's nothing." Terrence smiled, and brought up another topic, "You always said that you and I knew each other, I'm sorry, I retrieved your file - I couldn't think of you, but now I Know who you are. To be honest, I never thought you would come to me because I never did anything for you."

That's right, Terrence learned of Esiah's identity from the principal.Strange to say, he would never have thought that he would meet this old friend so early in his life—in Cusack City three years ago.

At that time, Terrence was hunted down by Viscount Cusack. In order to whitewash his behavior, the other party arrested a young man of similar age and figure as Terrence as a scapegoat. Terrence once asked the president of the local Mages Association to arrange his place.And Esaiah was that kid.

But he didn't think that his momentary soft-heartedness could make the other party feel grateful to this day, and chased him all the way to the imperial capital.

"Your Excellency, have you ever tasted the taste of despair... Sorry, I don't mean to offend. What I mean is that there are always people whose lives are full of devastation at first glance, and sometimes people want to work hard for themselves but can't do anything, because They were stuck in a narrow alley with nowhere in front or behind."

Esiah turned his head slightly, and Terrence guessed that the other person's eyes covered by bangs were looking at him: "I seem to be too wordy. The whole thing is like this, I was born abandoned by my parents-maybe they couldn't afford it Me or something else - it doesn't really matter because I grew up in the ghetto from the beginning anyway. You probably can't understand a place where people have no jobs, no dreams, nothing to do, and I was initially With the help of an old woman, I survived well. But when I grow up, I have to find food by myself. People are starving, and I should be content with a little kindness."

"It was a terrible time. I couldn't see any hope, but I wanted to live like a dead skin. You know what happened later. I was caught and brought to you. I knew they wanted to kill me. I was so scared. I didn't want to die, at least not like a rag doll that was thrown away. You saved me, and you were the only straw I could grab at the time. How I wanted you to take me out of there."

Terrence frowned, Esiah's experience reminded him of his experience in the crime capital, which made him sigh deeply: "But I didn't take you away, Esiah. I didn't help you .”

"No, Your Excellency. You reversed my fate. If you hadn't arranged a way out for me, I'm afraid I still haven't been able to get rid of despair."

"Even without me, you can do your best with your perseverance. Essia, what I said is true." Terrence patted the boy's hand on his lap.In his last life, he hadn't pursued the other party's past, because when he met the other party, Esaiah was good enough, and that was his own strength.

"Your assumption is just an assumption. Your Excellency, for you, that may be just a sentence. For me, that sentence broke the desperate situation in front of me, and I have the choice to make myself live better. President Cantor - now Viscount Cantor, he was right at the time, you don't need a useless person, when I want something from you, I can't give you Anything. Even if I rely on you to escape poverty and misery, I will lose my dignity. But now it's different, I didn't think I could use magic, even though I don't have much talent, but I hope I can make this power Makes more sense, and I want to help you."

"I'm very happy, Esaiah. I'm sure you'll be a great talent, but are you sure you're going to lend me your strength? I don't need your favor if it's just because of this. You Knowing my identity, I am in a dangerous situation, and I don’t know when I make a mistake, and I will lose nothing. You don’t need to take risks with me just because of a word of mine.”

Terrence's expression turned serious.He needs strength, and he also needs his former comrades-in-arms, but when Esiah finished speaking to him, Terrence didn't know whether to drag him into the water.The other party is different from Ulea, he is more self-reliant and stronger, he does not need Terrence to be responsible for him, he has already held his own life in his hands.He has experienced hardships, but he will have a better life as a scholar.

"I—" Esaiah was about to speak when a commotion erupted in the crowd. He raised his head and found the figure of the queen appearing on the exquisitely dressed podium. The queen in a white dress and her entourage sat in the middle position.

This made Esaiah's eyes widen slightly, no one said that the queen would come today.

"It seems to be starting, Esiah." Terrence looked up and said, Esiah noticed that the crowd began to take a seat, so he swallowed the rest of the words and stood up, but Terrence suddenly looked at him.

"By the way, the ghetto you're talking about—I don't know . . . I thought the country was fine."

"Yes, it's nice, but any pretty flower has a bug-eaten flaw."

"Maybe." Terrence smiled, "I just feel that I don't know much about my own country, maybe I have overlooked a lot of things." ——When I was determined to revenge and live for myself.

Terrence stared at the queen in the distance.

He didn't do anything for this country, he used to have only himself in his world, but not anymore.Angus is still an insurmountable gap for him, but he shouldn't allow himself to only seek revenge every time he lives.

If he is an aristocrat, then he should allow himself to do something worthy of his status.

As everyone guessed, Angus became the well-deserved No.1 in this school qualifying competition.When the principal announced the results, there was thunderous applause in the civilian area.And Terrence finally ranked eighth, thanks to his second-ranked written test results.

People are privately speculating that the queen's attendance this time is precisely for Angus.He is an excellent talent, and he is still a member of Aldrette, and he will inevitably become a loyal subordinate of Her Majesty the Queen in the future.It certainly deserves to be seen by the Queen in person.

But until the top ten students had been announced, the queen still didn't say a word, which made some guys who were convinced of this point of view start to wonder.And a boy stood up suddenly at this moment, and he shouted towards the podium: "I have objections to the ranking! Among these ten people, the result of one person is not true! The referees were all deceived by him!"

What this man said made people boil, and they looked at each other, wondering who the boy was talking about.

There was a moment of silence on the podium, and the old headmaster finally picked up the loudspeaker and asked, "Son, who are you trying to identify?"

"Terrence Aldrett. Excuse me for calling him by his first name, but he's a bad character, and it's him I'm going to denounce!"
