my age of magic

Chapter 232 32. Awakening Ceremony

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the attic in the morning, Fanny pushed open the door and walked in, looking at me with a slightly helpless expression.Maybe because she couldn't bear to wake me up, she opened the white curtains, and the already bright sky made me unable to open my eyes. I woke up from my sleep in a daze, and looked blankly at Fanny, whose face was obviously unhappy, Only then did I realize that I had overslept. Today is the registration day for the Magic Awakening Ceremony. If you go too late, you may have to wait until tomorrow to participate in the Awakening Ceremony. Almost every year at this time, almost all 12-year-old children in El City will Gather at the Institute of War and wait in line for the Awakening Ceremony.

Last year, I couldn't hold back my curiosity about this grand ceremony. I begged Fanny to show me it, and then I felt that the grand occasion was really shocking. There were chaotic crowds everywhere, just like a grand festival.Because of this, I lost my original curiosity about performing rituals.Because of this, before going to bed yesterday, I forgot to remind myself that there was an important matter today, and I failed to get out of bed early.

Fanny barged in because I didn't go downstairs for breakfast. I quickly jumped off the bed, stepped on a pair of wooden slippers, and with a bird's nest of messy hair, went downstairs to the dining room in a state of desperation. After breakfast, the wooden stairs made a loud noise, I rushed down in a gust of wind, ran into the kitchen and slipped into my place.

Leant was sitting at the dining table with a provincial newspaper in his hand, and a cup of tea in front of him. The aroma filled the whole room with a faint fragrance. Tracy was wearing a cool vest and shorts, with a curvy figure , when she was young, it was a beautiful moment of budding, her body was like a flower bud full of vitality, covered with morning dew, she was so beautiful and flawless.

She was bleary-eyed drinking polenta at this time, and there were two fried eggs on the plate in the middle of the table. There was a dinner plate in front of my seat, and there was a particularly ugly fried egg in it, and one side was still a little burnt At first glance, I knew it was definitely not from Fanny's hands, but I still had to pretend to be surprised, and then, with an expression like eating delicious food, I devoured this bitter fried egg.

There was a teasing smile on the corner of Leant's mouth. He read the newspaper intently, crossed his legs on the chair, and hummed a song with no rhythm.When I was about to finish a bowl of polenta, I put down the newspaper in my hand, raised my eyes to look at the mahogany clock beside me, calculated that there was still some time, and then asked me after a moment of deliberation: "Today you are going to participate in the awakening of magic. Ceremony, what do you think after the ceremony? I heard people say that you don’t consider coming to Stas Academy? I’d like to know why, can you give me a reason, I think the Junior Warrior Academy at the War Academy in El City can be called He must be the best, but he is definitely not the most suitable academy, even for a child with very good talents, it is very difficult to successfully graduate from the Junior Warrior Academy of Zhanzheng Academy."

"But I want to try it!" I could only stubbornly find a lame reason, chewing on a piece of crispy pickled cucumber in my mouth, took a big mouthful of polenta, and buried my head in the bowl.In fact, I really want to tell Leant that I just want to go to the School of Magic at Zhanzheng Academy, but how can I tell the reason?
Steins College does not have a Ministry of Magic, which is the biggest flaw of Steins College.Fanny and Leant never expected me to become a magician. They hoped that I could learn Western rapier from Leant like Tracy. Leant was very satisfied with my physical fitness. As a swordsman, What is most needed is not how strong the strength is and how fast the speed is, but the coordination and balance of the body, followed by speed and accuracy, and of course strength is indispensable in the end.

Among so many 12-year-old children in El City, my strength is not dominant, but my speed and endurance can even reach the physical fitness of fourteen or five-year-old children. My martial arts enlightenment, but I know that Qiang Bach has become the leader of my martial arts enlightenment in Xinghu Grassland. Later, I met Kurt, the great chief who taught me and Kurtz how to avoid the "charge" skill. The martial arts of the orcs are inherited at the core, those martial arts full of explosive and destructive power, so I have no interest in swordsmanship. Every time Leant politely asks me to practice swordsmanship, I will find some reasons to escape. Gradually, he I began to understand that I didn't have any ideas about his martial arts, and my heart gradually faded away.

But now, at the age of school, he began to have new ideas, especially when he knew my performance in the oak forest outside the small town of Fecamp, he began to slowly reflect on the neglect of me in recent years, and after all, I also The child who dared to travel alone in the mountains and forests of Sloit Province, my mature mind and experience are hard to find among these urban children.

"Have you thought about what you want to learn in the future? You never said which aspect of martial arts you like!" Liont was also very curious and wanted to ask my thoughts. As far as I like that kind of martial arts, I actually like more extreme and violent dagger weapons, but I really disdain methods such as attack and killing. I prefer the techniques and tactics of Yi Fuli.

At this time, Fanny had already come down the stairs carrying a cardboard box, and when she saw that I had finished eating, she did not forget to praise Tracy.She said to Tracy: "First of all, I would like to thank our little princess for her dedication early in the morning. I made these breakfasts with me early in the morning. A few days are a special day. Our Jia will go to the War College to participate in the annual grand ceremony." Celebration, magic ceremony, and here, I, Leant, Tracy, and I would like to extend our most sincere wishes to our most beloved young son, Jia, oh, yes, Jia! Come on, I will give it back to you I have prepared a gift, come and open it!"

"What is this?" I looked over curiously. It was a colorful cardboard box with colored strips and knots on it. Tracy also came over, sniffed it with her sensitive nose, and frowned. Frowning, he snorted and said, "It's soft leather inner armor, yellow sheepskin!"

"Oh, Tracy, can't you let Jia open his gift in person with some suspense?" Fanny complained very dissatisfied, and then took the lid off with one hand, revealing a workmanship. The fine soft leather inner armor, I think it must be customized according to my figure, it fits very well, and it will not hinder the body in various movements.

"Thank you, Fanny. I love it!" I smiled at Fanny.

Pushing open the door, only to find that there were already many people on the street.Originally, I convinced Leant and Fanny that there would definitely be a lot of people in this ceremony, and they would only be squeezed to death if they entered the War College, so they gave up the idea of ​​personally sending me to the War College, but they refused to say anything Let me go to Zhanzheng College alone, and finally Tracy volunteered to accompany me to the Magic Awakening Ceremony, which was unanimously agreed by everyone.

When I passed the gate of Sister Guoguo's house, I saw Su in the glass window waving vigorously to me.She has probably forgotten our embarrassment yesterday, and I even saw a fiery red figure beside her, which flashed in the window. I think she is probably Su's second sister, the girl named Annie , It turned out that she actually came back.

The curly red hair reminded me of Katrina, and she moved so fast I couldn't catch her.

As for Su, who was sitting in a wheelchair, she saw me standing at the door of her house, staring at her blankly, and hurriedly hid in the corner of the wall in embarrassment.

"Her eyes are as clear as water..." Tracy sighed softly. People on this street don't know this beautiful girl Su, who is as beautiful as an angel. She and her sister Like them, they always have something special, such as Guoguo, a talented water magician, Annie, a sword dancer who learned from her teacher, the half-elf Gwalop, and Su, who often reads under the lemon tree.Tracy asked in a particularly disgusting manner: "You don't like her, do you?"

"I didn't!"

"The more you argue, the more you explain the problem..."

...beautiful dividing line...

"Jia, isn't there anything that can surprise you?" Tracy put her hands in her trouser pockets. She was wearing a white lace shirt and a brown shirt over it. She wears a buckskin vest, her eyes are a bit slender, and she squints against the sun to look heroic, and her long hair is behind her ears.

We walked north along the stone-paved street. There were many shops on both sides of the street. On this special day, they all opened early.There are many pedestrians on the street, and occasionally there are carriages and horses.The various aromas of breakfast pastries spread in the streets, and those people from the small town who came from outside the city gathered in front of various breakfast stalls, buying something to eat in a hurry.

The children who came from outside looked curiously at everything in the city of El, the black street lamps on the street, the unique signs in front of the shops, the exquisite clothes and furnishings in the bright and clean closets, as big as the bed, As small as shoes and socks, there are so many beautiful things in eyes that they can almost dazzle the eyes.

The weather is good, the clouds in the sky are like faint smoke, and maybe they will completely disperse after a while.

Tracy walked in front, and I had to work very hard to keep up with her. I saw that she took the initiative to tell Fanny this time that she would lead me to line up at the Ministry of Magic of the War College to participate in the Magic Awakening Ceremony. I can't understand, isn't this girl never paying attention to my affairs?I followed behind suspiciously, looking cautious, like a little civet cat, full of vigilance in my heart.

"I'm very happy! Isn't it also very pleasantly surprised?" I said pretending to be puzzled.

Tracy raised her chin high, snorted softly, and said directly: "Come on, are you insulting my IQ, or do you insist on treating everyone as a fool? Wake up, boy!"

All the high-end buildings in El City are built on a mountain that is not too high, including the residences of the nobles in El City, the city hall, the magic guild in El City, and the land area of ​​up to [-] acres. The top of the hill is completely occupied, and the entire Zhanzheng Academy is like a park in a noisy city, and there is a Zhanzheng Academy hidden in the thick green vegetation.Tracy and I stood far away at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the Zhanzheng College hidden in the green forest, and unexpectedly, a strong earth elemental atmosphere spread out again, filling the entire hill.

On the street, countless crowds of people kept pouring into the path leading to the Junior Magic Academy. They would be accompanied by a child about my age. When they passed by me, they also looked at me curiously. .Those big naive and ignorant eyes shone with curiosity.

Tracy and I went up the street along the crowd, heard her sarcasm, I replied not to be outdone: "Please use honorifics for me, if I can be admitted to Zhanzheng College and graduate smoothly, then it is very likely that I will When serving in the North Wind Army, if I was a lieutenant, the chances of me dying on the battlefield are very slim. You said whether you will marry me when the time comes, but for your future..."

"If you keep talking, I'm not sure I can control myself and not tear your mouth open!" I heard Tracy say to me through gritted teeth, she held my ear with one hand like an intimate sister It's like the two brothers whispering again.

"Stop being stubborn, accept your fate! Tracy." I kept saying to her

She reprimanded me impatiently: "Shut up!"

In fact, I shut up a long time ago. I was in the crowd, like a solitary boat in a stormy sea, pushed and pushed forward by the turbulent crowd, and walked forward involuntarily.Seeing that I was about to be submerged in the crowd, Tracy chased after me in a panic.This time she worked hard to catch up with me in the crowd, and I don't know how much effort it took.Then she grabbed my hand and refused to let go no matter what. She used her slender body to block in front of me, pushed away the pedestrians in front, and pushed me forward.

From a distance, we finally saw the mountain gate of Zhanzheng College. Just when we wanted to rush up to sign up, we suddenly heard someone calling my name in the corner by the wall. I searched for the voice and looked over. I saw Ellent and Ifli huddled there with a group of friends from Steins College, calling my name and beckoning me over.

At this time, Tracy didn't think about it at all, and directly pulled me, squeezed away the few people in front, and walked towards Alent with difficulty.

Tracy held my hand very tightly, always worried that I would be pushed away by the crowd.

After struggling to reach Alan Te's side, he asked him, "Why are you here?"

"Bring them to the awakening ceremony, there are so many of them!" Alent moved his body away a little, and there was a quiet girl hiding behind him, who seemed to be about the same age as me.At this time, it seemed to remind me of the scene during the high school entrance examination. The turbulent crowd outside the gate of Zhanzheng College made people feel very familiar, and my thoughts sank into the memory of the moment in front of me.

Tracy and Alan Te changed positions and asked him to block the flow of people outside. Tracy leaned against the corner of the wall and looked down at Alan Te's sister, making fun of him and saying, "I don't know you You actually know how to take care of people, Alente!"

"There are so many things you don't know..."
