Chapter 367 Do you want to eat first, take a bath first, or~
The final exam of Minerva College is different from other branches of Homenwalts: black tea and coffee are prepared in the amphitheater with light incense, and refreshments can be provided at any time.The aristocratic students of the magic department came here early to fill in the list, received the test papers of each subject, spread a blanket on the seat by the French window, and finished answering each subject before six o'clock in the evening.If you are unable to attend, you can also apply to the professor for assessment by project report, which is very convenient.

The military department is in another classroom. There are no floor-to-ceiling windows, and the skylight is locked with a small iron grille, as if guarding against thieves.Candidates' school uniform sleeves are embroidered with green leaves, and they also came early.You have to bring your own hot water, otherwise you won’t be able to answer the hundreds of pages of papers if your fingers are frozen in winter; if you want to be more careful, you can also bring blankets, or ask the school to buy lunch and eat it in a hurry. If you have a knighthood , then you can have more snacks.But most of the students in this subject are the second sons or daughters of small local nobles, so they are probably not so comfortable.

Only those with flower buds embroidered on their cuffs can go to the large classroom with floor-to-ceiling windows and sunshine, order some drinks and snacks, and answer questions quietly.

Lana looked at the ceiling, trying to remember the handouts he had memorized these days.He always felt that general knowledge of magic and modeling were too raw and boring.Fiona forced him to endorse the book, and she was not very lively for a few days.The same is true for others, or hastily recited, busy hiding the paper in their sleeves, or engraving it on the table.

You can only laugh a few times when you see someone coming to the examination room.

Griffith is the only one with a title in the military department.He was tall and straight, his face was well-defined, his chin was clean-shaven, and his eyebrows were like the edge of a sword.Everyone remembers that when he first came, he looked like a tree stump with dirt on it. These days, he will also dress up and his face will turn pale.Although he was wearing a military uniform, it was considered a custom-made woolen cloth, unlike the uniforms that many people washed repeatedly, and it was extraordinarily crisp.

As soon as Griffith arrived at the examination room, all the military officers looked at him and smiled, and some shouted: "Xiao Yugan, why did you kneel three times when you were playing with girls!"

He didn't answer either. He just took out a volume of documents from his schoolbag and put it in front of the teaching assistant: "I applied for the paper on etching calculation, the report on prophecy and divination, and I applied with the professors."

When Lana saw it, she shouted deliberately: "Didn't you lose to the girl! Where did you get the paper? Could it be..."

Griffith turned his head, opened his eyes wide and said, "Shut up!"

Nona also laughed and raised her hand: "That's right, I saw with my own eyes the day before yesterday that Fiona built a defense tower at the door, blocked the second mine with cannons, and hung you up!"

Griffith blushed, and the blue veins on his forehead burst out, arguing: "If you play tactics, you can't count as a loss... Can engineers count as a loss if they repair fortifications to block the door?"

Someone else yelled:
"Does being jumped to death by the ranger count as a loss?"

"What does it feel like to be killed with a single punch at 200K?"

Griffith muttered words one after another, such as "it's impossible to win with tower rush", "Elf IMBA", "Oh, shut up" and so on.It caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the atmosphere inside and outside the examination room was filled with joy.

……

"How will you spend the weekend tomorrow?"

In the evening, Lana sat in the back row and watched Griffith get up after finishing the exam papers with great difficulty. The 1.9-meter knight stood up from the small table and chair, and shook twice like a bear with a head poking out of a jar of honey.

"I'll go and set it up, and I'll have hot pot with you guys tomorrow night."

Griffith said with a serious look.However, the exam papers have also been handed in, after all, there is no way, no matter how sad it is, it will not help.However, he bought a hut in the town, without access control, and without prefects, which was better than a dormitory, and it was very comfortable when he thought about it.Although everyone talked about him before the exam, but on weekends, they all wanted to go to his house to play all night.

Griffith took a sip of the cold coffee, and his frozen face gradually recovered.Kulala came up again and asked, "Griffith, you won't fail your exam!"

Griffith glanced at the white-haired and red-eyed girl, humming and showing a disdainful air, and felt that she was not cute anymore. Luther then asked: "Who will help you with tutoring if you fail a course, Miss Elf or Miss Countess?"

Griffith immediately showed a depressed and restless look, his face was covered with a layer of gray, and he said something; There are some people don't understand.At this time, everyone also laughed.There is a happy atmosphere inside and outside the examination room.

At these times, Lana can laugh along with it, and Griffith will never have an outburst.After leaving the examination room and walking outside, Griffith found that Lana did not go back to the dormitory, but walked to the street with him.

"You live outside?"

Lana nodded slightly: "Fiona insisted on buying it, and it cost tens of thousands of silver francs. She will come to me later."

"Oh—" Griffith understood immediately, "what did you do in Verona in the fall?"

"What else can it be? Marching to fight, tutoring homework, and having fun."

"What exactly is fun?"

Speaking of this, Lana suddenly became interested: "It was originally proposed by Fiona. I was hesitant, and I didn't have the courage, and she laughed at me. But after trying, Griffith and you Tell me, the passion that trembles from body to soul is really beyond your imagination!"

"..." Griffith was speechless for a while.

"Later I brought it up on my own initiative, and it got out of hand. As long as it's a safe time, I can't stop all night," Lana said with his eyes shining, "Fiona can't take it anymore, so she can only beg me Find someone else to play with, hahaha!"

"What are you talking about..." Griffith became more and more confused.

"You can try it some other day!" Lana made an amazing proposal, "Call Galadia and Sonia during the winter vacation, and we will be together, more people will be more exciting!"

"Can the five of us still be together?"

"Of course," Lana nodded again and again, "only when there are many people can we let go."

……

Griffith returned to the cabin.The moment the door was closed, he couldn't help but sighed softly.

Although I don't come here often, my hut is homely and warm, and even the cold air is very pleasant.

He lit the fireplace, took off his coat, put away the purchased food and drinks, and was about to prepare to welcome his classmates tomorrow.At this moment, he heard a slight noise in the kitchen, and subconsciously leaned over the sword hilt.

He tiptoed, looked around, and found a shaking figure in the kitchen.Before he could see clearly, the figure flashed out:
"Good evening! You are finally back!"

Galadia was wearing an apron, holding a spoon in her hand and circling in the steaming cauldron, and then scooped out a bowl.

Griffith was taken aback, and before he could figure out what was going on, the girl had already tilted her head towards him with crooked eyebrows:
"I've been waiting for you for a long time! You have to eat first, take a bath first,
"Let's eat something else~"
