To be king and magician

"Grey!"

2. Aozaki orange news

"boom------!"

At the door of the clock tower teaching building, a sudden muffled sound startled the surrounding pedestrians, but after the initial surprise, people just glanced at the clock and naturally regained their attention.

"It's the same today."

"Every day is this time."

"Two years?"

"Can't you stop for a day or two?"

Everyone showed a more or less unbearable expression and muttered in a low voice.This is also a matter of course, after all, in the past two years, such a scene has happened almost every day.

And when the muffled sound fell and the smoke and dust dispersed, Xia Chuanhu put down Grey, who was in his arms, and looked at the time: "Well, there are still 10 minutes until class, which is more than enough time."

"Brother, although I have said it many times, please don't use this way of rushing again, it will cause trouble for others."

Gray glared at Xia Chuanhu with some dissatisfaction.

Even though he had promised to supervise Xia Chuanhu before he set off, in reality, Gray couldn't stop Xia Chuanhu after the journey.It seems that in the incident in Paris two years ago, he jumped over the eaves and jumped over the wall several times. Since then, Xia Chuanhu will jump directly to the roof and then jump all the way every time he wants to go.

In Weber's words, it's like a monkey.

Precisely because of Xia Chuanhu's inhuman physical ability, he didn't feel any discomfort when doing this kind of thing, and his speed was even faster than Weber's driving.And because of this way of traveling, Xia Chuanhu has directly become one of the most well-known celebrities in the clock tower in the past two years-in various senses.

Besides this, another factor that made Xia Chuanhu a celebrity was Grey.

A year ago, because he had reached the right age, and because he was afraid that Grey would be spoiled by Mei Li at home, Xia Chuanhu tried to mention Grey's enrollment to Kenneth.Originally, Xia Chuanhu didn't have much expectations, but within a few days, Kenneth asked Weber to convey the news that Grey could enroll.

It's just that it's different from the normal way of enrolling. Gray enrolls as Xia Chuanhu's entourage.

This is also one of the rules of the clock tower.

Magicians are often targeted by others and their lives are in danger.Therefore, for their own safety, the magician has the right to bring his followers or disciples with him.This is a very common thing among the sons of various noble families studying in the clock tower.

Gray is admitted through this rule.

Although Xia Chuanhu is by no means a qualified magician, he definitely cannot be called a descendant of a famous family.

"Bringing such a small child to class every day, doesn't that blond have some strange hobbies?"

"Is there any other reason besides this?"

"nausea."

.......

There were such voices scattered around, upon hearing this, Gray couldn't help but lowered his hood again.

Sighing slightly, Xia Chuanhu patted her on the head, then turned his head and glanced fiercely at the surrounding crowd. Even through the magic eye, the cold gaze still made other people around couldn't help but slap Trembling, one after another turned into birds and beasts.

"Really, these guys... know how to spread rumors all day long. I really don't want to be seen."

This is not a matter of a day or two, because of Kenneth's care in all aspects, and Xia Chuanhu was bumped into traveling with the plant monarch before, many people thought he was a little boy who kept going through the back door—especially Those magicians who also came from poor backgrounds.

"Don't pay attention to the gossip, Gray. Let's go to class."

"Um......"

————————————————————————————————————

The morning class was just like what Xia Chuanhu said in the morning. Because the end of the term was approaching, the content of this semester had already been finished, so the teacher just checked the progress of their final homework routinely and went back to do their own research.

The clock tower lectures are conducted in such a way that you can come as long as you can keep up.Magic is almost determined by family and talent, so there is no need to seriously teach it.It is a common practice for clock tower lecturers to spread some information that can be used as bait, and then pick out some promising guys and take them in as their assistants.

As a student, instead of acquiring knowledge in the classroom, you will learn faster if you directly find a lecturer with excellent ability to learn.

The same is true for Xia Chuanhu.

"Weber, here I come."

"Excuse me, Mr. Weber."

In the office, seeing the two people walking in, Weber, who was writing his thesis, nodded: "Come on, let's sit down for a while, my thesis has one last point, I'll talk about it later if I have any questions on the subject."

"Then let me sort out the files for you first, your side is in such a mess."

"It's troublesome."

"I'm your assistant."

Yes, the lecturer Xia Chuanhu found to bring him was none other than Weber.

This is not so unexpected.Although lecturers basically choose students to be their assistants, if the lecturer's ability is not qualified, students also have the right to refuse.

As for Weber's abilities, everyone knew that a half-baked third-rate magician would never have a student willing to be his assistant. Because he knew this, he never sought an assistant.But unfortunately, the level of the lecturer is linked to his merits. If he can't bring out a few excellent assistants, Weber's lecturer level cannot be improved, and his salary cannot be increased.

This is simply a nightmare for Weber, who is burdened with part of the debt of the El-Melloi school.

So a year ago, Weber made Xia Chuanhu his assistant.Anyway, the two of them would often have private lessons after class, but it was just an extra layer of relationship, so Xia Chuanhu didn't have any resistance.

Xia Chuanhu sat down after helping Webb tidy up the office with Gray. Every minute, Weber just stopped writing.

"Finished?"

"Well, in this way, Mr. Kenneth can do business."

"Thank you, Mr. Weber, here's coffee."

"Thank you very much, ma'am." After taking a sip of Grey's coffee, Weber looked at Xia Chuanhu, "By the way, Hu, I have something to tell you. I originally planned to visit you after finishing my thesis Yes, since you're here, let's just say it."

Xia Chuanhu frowned: "What's the matter? Could it be that another noble daughter has blindly spotted your dark circles, and you want me to reject it for you?"

"I can do this kind of thing myself-and this kind of thing has never happened once, why do you say [again]?"

Glancing at Xia Chuanhu, Weber said, "Do you still remember the incident you mentioned to me two years ago? You said you wanted me to pay attention to the rumors about Aoqi Chengzi. You have something to do with her. I will come to work in the morning When I was there, I accidentally heard from a few passers-by that there seemed to be a puppeteer in Japan holding a puppet exhibition.”

"Eh?"

Xia Chuanhu paused for a moment.

(The puppet master who held the puppet exhibition... Oh, it’s almost 1998 now, and the time is not too far behind.)

"So, you think it's the Aozaki orange?"

"Who knows? It's just that according to those few people, some magicians who have participated have all given good reviews, and even spent a lot of money to order a few. This already shows that the puppeteer's technique is good. Right? Maybe it’s the Aozaki orange?”

"Just try your luck...that's fine." Xia Chuanhu nodded, "Is there a specific time? When is the next one?"

"I don't know, it seems to be held irregularly. But judging from the frequency of the event, there will definitely be one every two months, and counting... there should be one in January."

"The first month..."

Xia Chuanhu pursed his lips, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, I have been in the UK for two years, and I haven't been back yet. This time, I will go back for a year, and meet my former classmates by the way. I haven't seen you for two years. They should all be together. A lot has changed."

3. Back to Fuyuki after two years

Fuyuki City.

Xindu, shopping street.

Because it is already the end of December, and the first month will be in a few days, the weather has already cooled down, and there was just a light snowfall last night, and now the pedestrians walking on the street put on thick clothes to keep out the cold.

The same goes for Fujimura Taiga.

He breathed a sigh of relief to the somewhat frozen palms, followed the streets that he had walked countless times, and Fujimura Taihe quickly found a standing sign and a downward ladder.

Wine shop · Copenhagen.

This is a store opened by the father of Fujimura Taihe's high school classmate. Because of his classmate relationship, Fujimura Taihe would come here to drink with his old classmates from time to time. Naturally, he had the same idea this time.

"Yonko! Here I come again!"

"Ah, Dahe, it's really early today."

Inside the store, looking at Fujimura Taihe coming in from the door, Otoko Hotaruzuka, who narrowed her eyes, immediately greeted: "Let's sit down first, Xiao Ling hasn't come yet. I'll go get ready."

Xiaoling——Liudong Lingguan.He is the eldest son of Ryudoji, a famous temple in Fuyuki City. The student council president and old classmate of the two in high school. Although they went to Tokyo to study at university as soon as they graduated from high school, they would rush back to celebrate the New Year at the end of the year.

And just taking advantage of this opportunity, several people will gather to drink and chat together, and talk about what they have encountered recently.After all, as they grow older, they more or less have their own things to do. Even if they are all sure that they will always be in Fuyuki City in the future, there will not be many opportunities to meet each other.

"Big River!"

The voice of Yinzi came from the warehouse.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"What do you want to drink today?"

"This ah... as expected, Laobai should do it! I will send a message to Xiao Ling for the appetizers to buy!"

Drink Laobaigan at noon.

Regarding this old friend's attitude of not thinking about the outcome of everything, even if they are old friends who have known each other for six or seven years, Yinzi is a little bit dumbfounded.

"I won't send you back when you're drunk."

"Don't worry, don't worry! I'm a great river who is said to never get drunk with a thousand cups!"

"Isn't that Xia Chuan?" Yinzi laughed, "Speaking of which, Xia Chuan, I remember that he went to study in the UK, right? It's been more than two years, and he hasn't been back, right? He didn't send any mail back, he Are you planning to live there?"

"Who knew? That guy's been on the loose since his sophomore year in high school."

When mentioning Xia Chuanhu, Fujimura Taiga's tone was also a little nostalgic.

Returning to the store with a box of Baigan in his arms, Yinzi also said nostalgicly: "Indeed, since that long vacation, right? He seems to be indifferent to everything, and he often goes to the cemetery, the third year of high school." It will become normal in the next semester. Several times I wonder if he is depressed."

"Huh? Are you talking about Xia Chuan?"

While Fujimura Taiga was talking to Otonko, the entrance door was opened again, and Reikan Ryuto with a bald head walked in and asked.

"Oh, Xiaoling. It's true that it happened to be talking about Xia Chuan. Didn't he go out of order for a long time in high school? Xiaoling, do you know what's going on?"

"that."

Taking off his coat and hanging it on the chair, Liudong Lingguan thought about it: "I don't know very well, but when I was having dinner with him, I heard him mention it occasionally, it seems that there are two things that are very important to him. People are gone, so he lost his direction in life."

"The elderly grandpa?"

"That's true." Liudong Lingguan smiled, "So, it's still the three of us this year? He still hasn't come back?"
