Chapter 28 Transformation
Crazy-
It made the raindrops hit the stone road, making a pleasant clatter. The sky was covered with gloomy black clouds, making it difficult to tell what time it was now. Although Katris was hot and rainy in summer, it was just that every occasion, it was often raining heavily.
Liqi sat in the car regularly and looked out the window, rubbing her eyes sleepyly.
Today is her first day at school.
The continuous raindrops washed the streets of Catris and swept away the hot air that had been under control for many days. The streets in the rain lost their usual popularity. Occasionally, passers-by with umbrellas could be seen hurriedly passing through the corners, and then disappeared at another intersection.
Liqi, who had never traveled on a rainy day, had never seen such a quiet Katris. She used to be far away from the crowd because she felt that the hustle and bustle that was filled with Katris, a new city, had always been an unacceptable hustle and bustle that was filled with in the emerging city of Katris.
She hates crowds and doesn't like noise and crowding.
And now, her perception has been subverted.
The banging rain seemed to create a wall, isolating all noises, leaving only the sound of rain covering the world filled the ears.
Quietness is good, but the excessive precipitation made the school uniform she had just changed into damp, and it was coldly pressed against her body, which made her feel quite uncomfortable. There were also several boys from Katris College in the front half of the regular car car, who gathered together and whispered.
The design of the school uniforms of Katris College will also change according to department and grade, so you can see at a glance that the person wearing the school uniform belongs to the apprentice of which department and academic year in the college.
For example, this summer school uniform on Liqi is in the style of a student suit with traditional sample. The shirt on the upper body is made of a white base with black seam, which looks quite refreshing. The skirt on the lower body is a plaid skirt with gray as the main body, and the length just covers the knees.
This outfit was originally designed to highlight the youthful vitality of the young girl, but now it is put on the gloomy Liqi, which is a bit unfit.
Like the "Open Book"-shaped badge on Oscar's chest that represents his identity as an apprentice at the Cartris Academy. Liqi also has a uniform badge on her chest. Unlike the four-color balls that are kneaded into a ball in the middle of the Oscar "book" with the elemental system, Liqi's "book" is an ancient text in the middle.
——This is a badge that symbolizes the system of spell theory.
The boys dressed in apprentices were dressed almost the same clothes as the Oscars at the time, but they did not wear light armor. The details of the clothes were slightly different. Oscar was a freshman who only entered the school this year. In this way, the grades of these apprentices should be higher than him.
According to the college's regulations, all students usually wear badges issued by the college on their bodies, and these apprentices are no exception. However, Liqi is a little distance from where they are, and she cannot see what the decorations in the center of the badge are, so she cannot guess their division.
Looking out the window, the regular car had already driven out of the gate of Katris and set out on the road leading to the academy.
The clouds gathered above the head did not dissipate at all, but became even thicker, almost covering up all the sunlight. The raindrops sprinkled from the dim sky were much denser than before. The splashing water droplets covered the car windows, and Liqi could hardly see the scenery outside the car.
Liqi looked ahead. The growing rain hindered the driver's vision, which also caused the road conditions to become quite bad. As a last resort, the driver slowed down the car. He took out his pocket watch and looked at it. There was still plenty of time. It was still time to arrive at the academy at this speed.
When Liqi was distracted, the students had already used spells to create a dehydrated bubble. A small ball of dry air was under the control of the caster, clearing the moisture adhered to their clothes. The water extracted was divided into water droplets, sprinkling them in the small cup they prepared.
While casting spells to clean up moisture, the apprentices were also talking in a low voice. Liqi noticed that they were whispering, and glanced at her from time to time. They were very careful in their movements, and immediately diverted their gaze when they found out that she noticed.
Is there something strange about me?
Seeing the eyes of the apprentices, Liqi couldn't help but wonder about her outfit and behavior. But she thought about it carefully. The clothes she was wearing were uniformly distributed by the college, and since she got on the bus, she had been sitting quietly in the corner at the back without doing any extra moves.
Isn't this very ordinary? I didn't see any problem at all.
Liqi was full of doubts. No matter how she thought, she could not think of anything that would attract attention. She couldn't help but regret rejecting Curt's request for escort. She had not been in contact with society for too long, which made her unable to figure out what the normal criterion for judging around her.
Of course, she couldn't ask what those people were looking at. She knew that she needed to play a quiet and frail role in the academy from today onwards. She felt uncomfortable because of others' curious vision, and the long college life would be difficult in the future.
The rain kept falling, and the slow-moving regular cars finally brought a car to their destination.
This time, it was not Taturis who came to greet Liqi, but the young woman who was in charge of the examination room at that time. Today, she changed into a black work suit, and her drooping eyes were enlarged after putting on glasses, which made her look a little energetic.
"Meet again, Miss Ryanster." The young woman came over and said to Liqi. "When I was in charge of invigilating you before, I didn't have time to introduce myself - I am Mabel Homien, the teacher in Class 3, Grade 1, and I will be your leader in the college from now on."
After Liqi received the notice of the inspection, she also learned that she was assigned to Class 3, Grade 1, of the Department of Theory. Although she didn't know how long she would play in the academy this time, she refused because of the current situation and she had to stay under Hermeen for at least a while.
"Thank you for your care before, Miss Homien." It would be great if you were a person who was a good person. Thinking of this, Liqi bowed her head and bowed, and said to Homien in a voice that suited her image, "I hope you will give me more advice in my future study and life."
"Miss Leinster, just call me Mabel." She said softly, with a kind smile on her face. "I have been helped by Mr Leinster before, so you can ask me if you have any difficulties. I will use my best efforts to help you."
"Curter has helped you?"
Liqi felt a little strange about what she said. Curt also met Mabel on the day of the exam, but they did not act like someone they knew at that time.
"It was almost two years ago. He helped me once-but he might have forgotten." She blinked and said in remembrance. "Maybe that thing was just an insignificant job for him. Even so, I still appreciate his help."
It seems that when Curt himself didn't know, he had a deep relationship with others. But with his personality, even if he remembered, he wouldn't mention it deliberately. Liqi secretly curled her lips and didn't care - she had no interest in the interpersonal relationships Curt had formed when he was working outside.
"Uh, I'll see what time it's now."
Seeing that there was not much time, she stopped talking and turned her attention to the Silver Illusion Tower. Near the middle section of the Silver Illusion Tower standing on the earth, there was a circle of huge discs projected with magic mechanisms. On them were several dials showing time, among which the one facing them, the hour hand above was almost pointing to the nine characters.
"Why?"
The moment she saw the present time, her expression almost frozen. But she quickly realized that she said to Liqi as if nothing had happened: "I will tell you the details of this matter if I have the chance in the future. Now the morning meeting for the class is about to start, so you can go to the class first."
This is true. After Liqi, a group of students who took regular buses had arrived. However, they got off the bus and rushed into the school from the regular bus passenger point in one breath, regardless of the heavy rain. Under their influence, an urgent air seemed to float around.
Just like regular cars that have to slow down in rainy days, the four-wheelers provided by the college to internal personnel for moving in various areas also have a shortage of supply. There are crowds of people near the transportation station, and it is a bit difficult to get a car with an empty space.
After waiting for a while, the four-wheeler finally arrived. Unfortunately, a car is really a drop in the bucket for the people waiting here. In order to ensure enough time, Mabel Homien wisely used his identity as a teacher and the "frail and sick" Liqi to get the opportunity to ride first.
After more than ten minutes, they arrived in front of the building to which the Department of Theory belongs.
It is called a building, but in fact, this stone building is closer to a down-and-out noble mansion. Its area is not large and it looks quite old, and it is the style of a colonial country house. In the whistling wind and rain, the building is gloomy and like a haunted house.
"This house has been a few years. Do you think it is very tattered?" Mabel gently pushed open the building's door and looked back at Liqi to signal her to follow, "This is one of the oldest houses in the college, and it has a history of hundreds of years. Don't look at it now, it was the best teaching building in the college at the time."
Liqi followed her into the house. Compared to the outside of the storm, the house was obviously warmer. Moreover, compared with the obviously aging appearance, the insides of the building were cleaned quite neatly. The spotless halls and corridors exude a wonderful sense of harmony, making people feel an incredible atmosphere.
Liqi originally thought that her daily life could remain unchanged, but she only noticed recently that they had changed since she had accidentally.
This may be an opportunity for her to start trying to make changes.
