Act 363: Inside the Academy(1/2)
Reus walked into the house, came to the desk, looked up through the window and looked at the college students coming and going in the courtyard below, as if they were covered with a layer of hard-to-melt ice.
He thought for a while before retracting his gaze, looking at Leila who was bringing the door, and landed on the magic wand that the other party was holding tightly in his hand, and then he struggled to squeeze out a smile on his cold face.
He pursed his lips slightly and tried to dispel the girl's doubts: "Don't be so nervous. I'll let you come here. I've watched your games recently. Well, it's very good. I heard you joined Brita and the others?"
Leila looked at him with some doubt and nodded.
"Sir Reus, I—"
She tried to explain. But Reus interrupted her impatiently, "I don't mean to blame you. I gave you the power to choose last time. You bravely follow your own ideas to take the first step, which is great."
Leila stopped and looked at the jazz a little flattered.
In her impression, Reus was serious and cold, and his only care for her was to accept the letter and allow her to enter the academy. In addition, the jazz was always very distant from her and was not so happy to talk to her for a few more words.
Brita didn't like this cold-faced jazz who always had a stern face, but Laila felt nothing, because people like Brita were relatively rare. As for hitting walls everywhere and being as cold as the ice, she got used to it after seeing it a lot.
Besides, the last time it proved that he was not unwilling to care about his students, but he just didn't want to get involved in the whirlpool.
Thinking of this, Laila tightened the magic wand in her hand with some gratitude.
Reus noticed this detail and changed the topic: "How have you practiced magic recently? I heard that you have started using the spells of the first and second rings, is that true?"
Leila looked at the other person in a little surprised.
"No wonder," Reus said coldly, "The people around Brita are all big mouths. If I pay a little attention, it will be easy to find out about you."
"Mr. Jazz, have you been following me?"
"You are my student, it's natural for me to pay attention to you."
He paused for a moment, and seemed a little unhappy to get stuck on this topic, and went straight to the topic: "You should pay more attention to yourself and magic, not these trivial things. Do you remember what I said to you last time? A good magic wand is very helpful for magic practice. In the past, you made slow progress, mostly because of insufficient investment in yourself."
"Of course, I know your situation. I will help you apply for some opportunities for part-time work and study at the academy. As for now," he glanced at the magic wand in Leila's hand. "You are doing a good job now. Remember that the magic wand is the second life of the magician. Don't let it leave your side easily."
Leila never thought about the day when fate would be imposed on her.
With a huge surprise, she resisted the blink of her red eyes, bit her lips and nodded vigorously.
"Very good," Royce praised, "You are less talented than Brita, but your serious attitude is a hundred times that of others. This is a good potential. Also, I came to you mainly to ask you about the game. Did I hear you have never been on the pre-season?"
"Yes, Mr. Jazz..."
"You also have to fight for the opportunity to play, the academy game is a rare opportunity."
"Go to the field?" Leila was startled, "Mr. Jazz, how can I do it?"
"Why can't you?"
Reus blurted out, but stopped immediately.
He was silent for a moment and changed his words, "I mean, the magician should at least have confidence in himself and his own magic. If you don't try it, how can you know it's not possible? The competition is a good opportunity for you. Besides, I am very clear about the competition system. The competition in the college competition itself is to give every college student a chance to play."
Leila still seemed a little hesitant.
She knew that her adaptability to the elements was not good, and she had never been able to get started before. If Brita and others had not been friends with her and had been encouraging her, she would have almost insisted on competing.
Fortunately, she has only been in school for less than a year and a half, and no one has noticed her talent.
But although she has made some progress at the moment, her strength is not as good as that of a freshman in the first grade. Taking the field will only add meaningless burden to Brita and the others.
Seeing her like this, Reus also understood that it would be useless to say more, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "You can think about it again."
He then asked Laila to leave, but when the other party was about to leave, he called her again.
Leila turned around with some surprise.
Reus reminded seriously: "I will tell you this, don't tell others, I don't like to cause trouble."
Leila hurriedly nodded seriously, "I understand, Sir Reus."
"Just understand, go."
...
After Reus left with Leila, the previously warm atmosphere disappeared.
The others were probably a little scared when facing the Jazz who always had a cold face. Although Brita was not afraid of the other party, she also lost the interest in talking for a while.
So everyone said goodbye to the two of them one by one, and then left one by one, only Luo Yu and Ji Ta were left. Luo Yu watched the others go away before turning around and said to the scholar's lady: "What do you want to ask? You can ask now."
"I, I don't..." Jita subconsciously denied.
"We are from the same training camp, Jita," said Luo Yu, "you know, we are never good at hiding ourselves,"
"Yes... I'm sorry, I just..." The scholar looked a little overwhelmed and lowered his head.
"Nothing," Luo Yu shook his head, "You might as well say anything you think of, but I am the same. Do you want to ask why I participated in this game?"
Jita looked up at him in surprise. Her partner who used to be silent and dull. She never thought that the other party would have such a keen day.

It is because of being too silent that it causes people around you to ignore it. Isn’t it enough to stand out from the training camp in Tapolis like himself?
Being able to enter that training camp is itself a proof.
She hesitated for a moment, "I'm just a little worried about Laila and the others."
"You mean behind the college competition?" Luo Yu asked, "Indeed, the college competition that caused the Holfin School to disappear twenty years ago was essentially a political struggle. We all know that there is no innocence behind the political struggle."
But he shook his head, "There are reasons for my choice to intervene, not all, and it is not even the main reason. You know what the regiment leader is investigating is closely related to the Battle of the North, the Dragon Worshipers, and the Shadowmen. One of our purposes is to find out the real purpose of the Shadowmen's invasion of the Ethernet veins behind the Crystal Tower."
His eyes passed through the corridor of the courtyard and stared at the college students coming and going in the garden not far away. Many people gave a surprised glance in this direction, but after seeing the elemental staff in Luo Yu's hand, he was so scared that he quickly looked away.
Luo Yu looked at this scene, took out a coin in his hand and threw it forward gently. The coin fell on the solid stone slab, causing ripples.
He raised the element to use the staff and tapped the ground with the tail of the staff. A layer of invisible ripples extended along the feet of the two, rising to form a transparent barrier after reaching the limit, wrapping the two of them. This magic quietly merged into the many spells that existed in the Astrology Academy, without any striking attention.
"Do you remember the last conflict we had with Duke Hawk? It turns out that in the empire, there were people colluding with shadowmen and dragon worshipers," said Luo Yu, "but we don't know who that is. The empire's water is very muddy, and there are many unknown dangers lurking behind it. Whether it is the leader, Miss Silvede, Miss Tata, or even Luo Hao, Parker, they are actually acting for this."
"Is the scabbard of that magic sword that important? It's just that the sword comes from the crow prophecy. Luo Hao is eager to understand its origin. Although Parker didn't say that, you and I have been with him for a long time than the group. They all know the other party's personality. He is a person who can't get up early without profit. He chose to go with the box, and most of them have his own goals."
"Even the box is an urgent goal to improve himself. The battle in the North has had a profound impact on him. Moreover, since Istani, most people in the group, including you and me, have a sense of urgency to improve themselves?"
He turned around and looked at the scholar Miss, "Except Tianlan, we don't want the Seven Seas Brigade to leave any of us. But the leader has gone far enough that even if he is willing to stop and wait for the rest of us, how long can we make him wait?"
Jita gently pushed her glasses and was silent for a moment.
Luo Yu shook his head gently, and he couldn't help but think of his conversation with his parents when he was in the north. Fang Yu promised them to go to the empire to fight for the ticket to the Second World for everyone in the group.
And what about them?
From the moment the Seven Seas Brigade was established, its beliefs never belonged to a certain person's team. Fang Rong had never thought so, and of course others would not take it for granted. But now he is fighting for that opportunity for each of them, and from that moment on, everyone felt that layer of urgency.
"I don't want the leader to act alone, but to investigate everything related to the filmmaker and the Dragon Believer. After that great trial, the relationship is still closer to the Seven Magic Family," Luo Yu said, "and to investigate the Seven Magic Family, the best entry point is the academy dispute twenty years ago, everything related to Ash Lynn."
"Star device, nightmare furnace, shadow man, dragon worshiper..."
The scholar's lady murmured to herself.
"Yes," Luo Yu replied, "the key is Laila, the girl who claims to be the descendants of Ash Lynn. But we still don't know whether she is the daughter or heir of the Great Magician. I only know that she must have some key information and did not tell us the truth."
Ji Ta's eyebrows hopped slightly, and the anxiety in his heart became more and more obvious. It was obvious that the scholar's wife did not not notice this, but just ignored it intentionally. She raised her head with some concern and looked at the former: "Luo Yu, are you talking about Laila her..."
"She may not have intentionalized it, or some secrets of her own, which is normal. We, the leader of the group, have their own secrets, right?" Luo Yu shook her head and relieved her. "I just remember what Laila once told us. She said she couldn't remember too much about Ash-Lynn, but after reading the manuscripts she gave us later, she actually knew a lot about the great magician."
"she……"
"She unintentionally revealed this to us and contradicted her previous description, which shows that she has put aside her invisibly and is not deliberately deceiving us." Luo Yu replied, "That's why I chose to come here. That girl is a pitiful person, and I don't want to force her to say anything."
Jita fell silent.
In addition, she couldn't think of a better solution. Luo Yu's choice made her feel a little relieved, and every companion on the Qihai Traveler account always made her feel a little relieved.
But she already understood the purpose of Luo Yu saying this to her.
The scholar raised his head gently, glanced at the transparent barrier, hesitated for a moment, and a big book floating in the air appeared in front of her. She pressed her hand on the page, and then gently closed her eyes.
Luo Yu looked at her from the side without saying a word.
Jita's eyelids trembled slightly, and suddenly spoke: "The stars rose from the sea of fire, and the old order collapsed."

The latter also opened his eyes suddenly, his face pale, and she took her hand off the magic book with some at a loss.
How could such a grand prediction be placed on a little girl and what is the future she sees?
She looked at Luo Yu on the side.
Luo Yu was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Don't worry, I think I already have some eyebrows." Luo Yu slowly raised the magic wand in his hand and eliminated the spell.
He looked at the coins on the stone slab rotting and turning black and turning into dust.
...
When Brita saw several other people in the club, the other party looked out of breath.
She stopped the people and asked, "Where is Arnet you asked you to find? No one has seen her yet?"
The young men came from wondering how far they came over and gasped, "Brita, we searched all the colleges and didn't see Arnett. Will she have gone back or have not come to the college yet?"
"Impossible, there is her class today," Brita rejected it. "Besides, I only met her in the morning, and I also specifically told her about the time of today's event. You all know what Arnet's temperament is, she will only arrive before you."
"What about her?"
