Chapter 34 Intelligence

The college has a large number of students in the school. In order to relieve the pressure of commuting, the college encourages students to live in dormitories provided by the college. Depending on the fees paid, the dormitories provided by the college are divided into several levels, ranging from the most basic multi-person dormitories to luxurious independent huts.

This is a separate room in the dormitory building, with a medium-to-high price, so the room is also a relatively spacious suite. This is the dormitory chosen by Curt Bang Liqi in the college. The room without much furniture seems too empty for living alone.

In a room with only simple furniture, four people are sitting opposite each other. On this side are Liqi and Curt on the wall, and on the other side are Oscars with their heads down and Hepburn, who is half behind Oscars.

In silence, Curt spoke: "Next, let's talk about what happened at noon today."

Today he is still wearing the formal attire he changed into at that time and does not carry the weapons he usually uses. If someone who doesn't know him, he may only treat him as an ordinary young man with poor spirits. Unexpectedly, he is actually a very powerful active mercenary.

He sat in the armchair and looked at Oscar, his tone was quite regretful: "Oscar, I think you must have a good memory as a magician apprentice. You should also remember what I told you at that time. You should calm your brain when you encounter trouble?"

"sorry……"

Oscar lowered his head, like a child being scolded by a teacher. In fact, his relationship with Curt was not so deep, and it was not impossible to call him "master and apprentice". Oscar still respected Curt, a senior who taught many basic knowledge about the mercenary ranks.

"You don't need to apologize, and what I want is not your apology."

Curt held his forehead. After listening to what happened during the lunch break that Liqi reported, he didn't know how to evaluate Oscar's impulsive behavior this time. To be honest, he was quite disappointed with Oscar's rash performance, but he also knew that with his personality this was an inevitable result.

"sorry……"

Oscar's head was lowered.

After Liqi suddenly broke in and disrupted the situation at noon today, he expected that his behavior would be criticized by Curt. He did not forget what Curt said at that time, "No matter what happens, you must keep a clear mind." However, when he saw his friend in trouble, his passion for rushing to the head made reason retreat to the second line.

According to the clues he provided, Hepburn said that a senior at the reading party he attended was openly looking for a subject who wanted to be a certain spell they were experimenting with. He had declared at the time that it was a safe experiment, but many apprentices were reluctant to join.

Hepburn, who had been underestimated by apprentices of the same age, thought that he could take this opportunity to change the views of people around him, so he volunteered to join the experiment. At that time, the senior praised him happily and led him to meet Danfoss, the leader of the research group.

Danfoss and the others were actually very good at Hepburn. Most of the experiments were simply using spells, and they would teach him a lot of knowledge. Because no one ordered Hepburn to not tell others about these things, he naturally revealed the information to his best friend, Oscar, who grew up together.

At first, Oscar agreed with Hepburn's willingness to take the initiative to contact Danfoss and others. He and Hepburn realized that now, he has always been bullied characters and have to rely on Oscar to help each time. Now he can take the initiative to make friends with seniors in the senior year, which makes Oscar feel his growth.

But as time went by, Oscar began to feel something was wrong. He learned from Hepburn that some of the things studied by Danfoss seemed to conflict with what he learned. He thought that these were the knowledge that seniors would master, but when Hepburn said that this time the research team was going to conduct ancient spell casting experiments in the old experimental building, and he volunteered to be the experimenter, he couldn't sit still.

Following the senior apprentices, Hepburn came to the old experimental building and seriously placed various equipment necessary to drive spells, which made him feel a little more at ease. In particular, they also asked Hepburn to bring amulets for protection. It seemed that the safety they had guaranteed before was not false.

But something was wrong after the experiment began.

First, a flame suddenly burst into the magic cube formation. It circled like a snake and slammed Hepburn's body, hurting Hepburn's clothes. It kept rolling upwards, and finally suddenly hit the amulet hanging on Hepburn's neck, smashing it into pieces in an instant.

Then Hepburn, who had lost his protection, fell to the ground under the guidance of an invisible force, and tried to constantly hit the hard floor with his head. Although he looked panicked, he still used all his will to lift his body up so that he would not really lose control and grab the ground with his head.

How could Oscar continue to see this now? He rushed in and interrupted the spell ceremony in progress. The magic cube array that had lost its magic power was quickly destroyed, and Hepburn's twitching body stopped.

In fact, Oscar had never seen Danfoss, the leading senior apprentice, before, and his understanding of him was only in Hepburn's introduction. But after he stopped the "experiment", Danfoss kept saying words of contempt for Oscar calmly, which made him angry suddenly.

After calming down, he remembered that if his passion really lost control, he would be the one who was unlucky in the end. No one would care what Danfos and the others said before, and the only result was the fact that "Oscar beat Danfos and others" had already happened.

Thinking about it again, Oscar suddenly felt that Danfoss wanted to use this to arouse his anger and cover up the illegality of their actions. If his plan succeeds, they can divert others' views on the incident, and their identities will suddenly be transferred from the status of the perpetrator to the victim.

The timing of Liqi's insertion was actually just right. If Hepburn appeared half a step later, he wouldn't be able to hold Oscar. Although he was a boy with thin arms and legs, his strength was actually worse than that of many female apprentices. At that time, he would almost have to do his best to force Oscar's actions.

The end of the matter is quite abrupt.

After Liqi pointed out the problem of improper behavior, Danfoss just threw down the sentence "How can a mortal like you understand the meaning of our research?" Then he took the members of the research association to leave the teacher who had no trace of casting.

After that, Liqi squeezed Oscar's wallet and got a lunch, and then took them to the room after the afternoon class.

"Uh... sir, please stop criticizing Oscars. In fact, he quarreled with Danfoss and the others for me." At this time, Hepburn seemed quite frightened when he saw Oscar being criticized by Curt, but he still tried to plead for him, "And he didn't hit Danfoss in the end."

"If he really fights, then things won't be so simple." Liqi was not polite and criticized Hepburn's entourage back casually. "The combination of you two is also strange. It may be just right for two of them to add one piece and divide half of them. Now it's really not good."

"sorry……"

Even Hepburn lowered his head and apologized. Although Oscar was criticized by these two people for his sake, he could not raise his head at all in front of Liqi, who really helped him and Oscar. And she said it was right. He joined the research just for some courage, but he didn't expect it to be counterproductive now.

"We didn't want you to apologize!"

Liqi was so angry that she was just apologizing, and the two of them were just aware of it, which made her unable to accept it. She really began to think about whether to think of a way to transfer part of the Oscar-excessive emotions to the thin boy, so that the two of them could balance the roles slightly.

"Forget it, it doesn't make sense to continue."

Curt patted Liqi on the shoulder and signaled her not to pursue her anymore.

Then he looked at Hepburn, who was still flinching, and asked him in a calm tone: "You are Hepburn, right? I am Curt Ryanster, and I am barely considered an acquaintance Oscar met in the Mercenary Management Office. Can you tell us the details of what happened during this period?"

Curt's gentle tone calmed Hepburn down a little, and he began to recall what happened to Danfoss and the others: "Actually, this shouldn't be like this..."

If you want to ask the difference between mediocre people and talented people, the most obvious thing is that the latter is taken for granted and can do things like breathing. The former requires a lot of energy to catch up, and it may even be impossible to learn no matter how hard it is.

Hank Danfoss belongs to the latter category. With a wealthy family, he has excellent talents and all the apprentices in the Department of Elements are obvious to all. Not only can he easily pass the college test with his top grades, but he can also easily complete difficult spell detailed operations.

It’s just that excellent people are more or less quirks, but Danfoss is fine. He is just a little too interested in ancient spells. He often says that the spells taught in the academy are just popular knowledge, and only ancient spells symbolize the glory of the spells.

Based on this starting point, Danfoss formed a small club with some like-minded friends, claiming to be a research group of like-minded people. They searched for "hidden knowledge" in old paper, and also tried to train ancient spell casting.

However, according to the senior who brought Hepburn into the club, for a long time, they had no pioneering discoveries, and only stayed in the superficial stage. The ancient spells they mastered were just simple spells that could be found in old books that could be read casually in the library.

This situation disappointed Danfoss, who wanted to go further in the realm of ancient spells.

So a few days ago, the situation changed.
