The Dean Has Arrived

In the library, Xi Wei found Sophia hiding in a corner of the reading room where he usually stayed, quietly reading a book.

Obviously just experienced that kind of thing, no matter what, it is impossible to calm down so quickly.

Xi Wei looked at the brave girl, sighed involuntarily, then regained the smile on his face, and walked towards her.

"Yo Librarian"

The girl's gaze shifted from the tome in her hand to Xi Wei's face, and then immediately shifted back: "If it's to comfort me, it's fine, I'm fine now."

"I don't have that kind of free time." Xi Wei didn't care about her tone, but continued to say casually: "I just want to ask where I can find the alchemy formula and treatise on antidote potions. Useful next class."

"That's in the fifth library area. There should be related books on the shelves of the initial d. I personally recommend "Voodoo Prescription" and "Roman Talks-On Minerals" in the "Crazy Professor Roman" series Poisons and biological poisons." If it's just a general theory, "Standard Alchemy Formula? Potion" is also a good choice."

Although Sophia seemed a little unhappy, as a librarian, the girl still dutifully answered Xi Wei's question in detail.

"Are you familiar with all the books in the library?"

Seeing her mentioning a bunch of titles casually, Xi Wei couldn't help asking curiously, "Or have you read them all?"

"There are so many books in this library, how could it be possible to read them all?" The girl didn't take her eyes off the books in her hand, and replied casually: "Except for the ** area, I only read about one-third of them." About one."

"I've read so many books!?" Xi Wei was really shocked this time. Although he knew that this girl liked to spend time in the library, he never expected that she would actually read so many books. But he immediately asked suspiciously: "Could it be that you just swallowed the whole thing?"

The girl closed the tome in her hand with a bang, stood up and stared at Xi Wei, and then began to recite with her underdeveloped chest: "Twelve grams of dried wormwood, two grams of bezoar Thirteen grams, fifty milliliters of Nomilan wine..."

Although it sounds messy and unorganized at first glance. However, Xi Wei, who had some knowledge of Potions, immediately noticed the key points: "Wait, what did you report..."

"The formula of the general-purpose deciphering potion." The girl's disheveled beige ponytail was raised proudly, and the expression on her face said what Xi Wei noticed very naturally: "It has a good effect on most toxins. Even So you still think I'm just reading books?"

"Er..." Xi Wei was ashamed. It seems that my unintentional sentence annoyed the girl: "Okay, okay, I admit that you are knowledgeable and talented."

Sophia glanced at Xi Wei, sat down again, and picked up another book to read.

"But since you know this theory so well. Why didn't you pass the entrance examination?"

Although Xi Wei didn't plan to ask about the girl at the beginning, but now that the girl's problem has been exposed by others, he naturally can't continue to ignore it: "Leaving aside other things, the theoretical test must be good, right? "

Sophia seemed a little dissatisfied with Xi Wei's continuous interruption of her reading, and it was rare for her to forget what happened just now. When he was immersed in the sea of ​​books, he brought up the topic again. Didn't this make the book he was reading sour?

The girl looked at Xi Wei with an innocent face, and after the two of them looked at each other for a few seconds, the anger in the girl's cheeks was released with a puff, "That's right, I have scored full marks in the theory exam for three consecutive years." I closed the book and talked to Xi Wei: "But at the same time, I failed the magic practice exam for three consecutive years, so I can only barely pass the pass line."

It can be heard that the girl has not finished speaking. Xi Wei obediently kept his mouth shut. Waiting for her next words.

"Obviously born in the Lange family, there is no problem with the affinity for elements, but my magic talent is very bad. The magic power that can be stored is even difficult to maintain in the hands of a mage. In this way, no matter how much magic knowledge, No matter how strong my affinity for the elements is, I can't cast magic other than Magic Missile." Sophia looked very indifferent as if talking about other people's business. But Xi Wei could hear the sadness and pain of the girl under this indifference: "Goddess Qiyao is really cruel. She gave me the noble surname Lange and excellent elemental affinity, but she didn't give me the ability to make all of this happen." Turn it into the foundation of power. No matter how hard I try, the final result will not change—without magic power, I wouldn’t even be a magician at all!”

Her formerly strong shell was completely shattered at this time. In Xi Wei's eyes, the current Sophia was no different from the little girl who wrapped herself tightly in a quilt because she was afraid of thunder.

"What are the main uses of mole grass?" Xi Wei touched his chin and asked suddenly.

"It can remove edema and relieve the festering caused by magic. It can also be used as an important auxiliary raw material in the anti-black leech potion." The girl who seemed a little sad at first blurted out immediately. It seems that she does have a wealth of theoretical knowledge about potions.

"Please list the meaning of the rune 'Luna' and at least three main types of enchantment."

"'Luna' comes from the Elvish language and originally means 'quiet moonlight'. It is generally used as the meaning of 'quiet' and 'rest' in human magwenology. It is mainly involved in enchanting such as 'magic interruption' and 'spell extraction'." And 'Magic Power Recovery', both are high-level enchanting types. It is said that even third-year students may not be able to learn this, why are you asking this?"

"The third question, what is the difference between 'Mammothosaurus' and 'Sea Mammothosaurus'?"

"Quadrupeds and marine reptiles, although they have similar names, they are not the same species at all, okay?"

Afterwards, Xi Wei asked some completely irrelevant questions one after another. After Sophia patiently answered all of them, she looked at Xi Wei strangely: "What nonsense have you been asking since just now?"

Xi Wei didn't answer her directly, but walked to the window and pushed it open.

As the evening approached, there was already a gentle evening breeze blowing in from the window with the afterglow of the setting sun. The spring wind has a scent that can clear people's minds. It plucks Xi Wei's robe and the brim of his hat. He shows a smile full of fighting spirit, and seriously says something that others will find extremely arrogant: "I am , sooner or later, we will establish the world's number one magic academy and become the world's number one academy president."

"...Are you still dreaming?" Sophia was already stunned by his words: "That kind of thing is clearly impossible to succeed."

To be honest, I wouldn't be too surprised if Xi Wei said that she wanted to become a great magician or a girl like a legendary great magician. After all, it was the dream of all magicians, and no one would laugh at their dreams. What's more, the current Xi Wei does have the double capital of youth and talent (in their opinion).

But to establish the world's number one magic academy, this is a bit too idiotic. Not to mention other things, with the backing of the country and the founder of the legendary great mage Huolian National Academy of Magic, it is only at the upper reaches of all the academies in the Eastern Plain at this time, and there is a certain distance from the top three, let alone surpassing the Holy Spirit. ? Dragon Academy.

Even if Xi Wei really established a magic academy with strong teachers and abundant resources, word-of-mouth and other things will slowly accumulate over time. Before you have a certain historical background, no matter how hype you say about your academy There won't be too many students joining.

this is the truth.

Except for a few people with outstanding talents and very rich acquired conditions, there is an insurmountable distance between the reality and ideals of ordinary people.

Just like Sophia, she resolutely came to Huolian College in order to pursue her ideal to become a great magician regardless of the result of her talent test. Even though her family did not give her a single copper in addition to the tuition due to her behavior of running away from home, she still studied hard while working as a part-time administrator in the library, relying on the meager subsidy and the free meals provided by the college , I have been gritting my teeth and working hard, and I have been working hard for three years.

The ridicule and insult of the students who didn't know the truth, the well-intentioned but hurtful persuasion of the professors, and the results of the final exam that were completely out of proportion to the painstaking efforts she put in did not make her give up hope.

But what ushered in in the end was not success, but a merciless blow from reality. This filled the girl with frustration and confusion about the future-is it really wrong to stick to her ideals? After all, can't human beings break out of the vicious circle called talent that God has set for themselves?

"It's up to me whether I can succeed or not." Xi Wei held down his hat, turned his head and showed the girl a gentle but firm smile, as if saying that he would never give up no matter what kind of difficulties and obstacles he encountered. My ideal is the same: "Before that, Miss Sophia Lange, would you like to be the alchemy professor of my academy?"

"...What did you say?" The girl felt that she had heard wrong.

"You have passed my test. In theory, your knowledge of alchemy is enough. Come and be the professor of alchemy in my college!" Xi Wei said without hesitation: "Anyway, if you still can't advance this year If you don’t, you’ll be expelled, right? If that’s the case, why don’t you just join my academy!”

So that was just a test...

The girl looked at the hopeful Xi Wei, lowered her head and thought about it.

Time passed by, and Xi Wei didn't mean to urge the girl, but just knocked on the window sill like that, looking at the scenery of the mountain city, letting the color of the western sky become more and more vivid.

It wasn't until the time was about to close that the girl took a deep breath, looked up at Xi Wei, and made her own answer. ! ~!
