Chapter 108 Concealing Loss
"Everyone has worked hard, now is the time to witness the results, let's work hard together!"
Alice stretched out a hand, and Willett first put his hand on it in cooperation, followed by Dolores and Andrew.
The hands of the four people are superimposed together, as if all their beliefs have been condensed. The teenagers look at each other, confidence is conveyed in everyone's eyes. They are like warriors about to take the field, with high morale.
"come on!"
In the early morning, the shouts of young people full of vitality and vitality came from the door of the Magic Summoning Tower.
Four hands, each representing a person, were superimposed and then suddenly raised upwards, like a standing flag, soaring into the sky, as if their dreams and hopes were within reach, and it was incredibly beautiful.
Everyone's destiny is intertwined, gorgeous and bright, and their smiling mouths are frozen into a color photo, which appears on the news homepage of Magic Daily.
This is undoubtedly very memorable, both for Alice and the others, and for this famous academy that has cultivated generations of magicians. Today is a special, yet bright and sunny Friday.
After a long wait, all first-year members have gathered.
"Now, all the members have arrived. Then, all students have prepared the tools they need to use, whether it is a wand to complete the ritual with you, or a head filled with knowledge and ready to go all out, check it out.
"
Teacher Aminginil stood at the entrance of the summoning tower, on the steps made of high-grade marble. He looked down at the seedlings of Credo Academy below, which are also the fresh blood that will inject the academy into a future full of possibilities.
Smiling and raising his voice, he reminded.
"Now, everyone enters the Magic Summoning Tower in an orderly manner as required. There will be dedicated personnel inside to guide you to the venue where the summoning ceremony is held. No noise, abide by the rules, if you don't want to be grabbed by the scruff of the neck and thrown out by the guards.
If so, then be obedient."
"After the ceremony is completed, go back to each class and wait for your class teacher to announce the results. Then, I will divide you into groups based on different summoned beasts and summoning times."
"The summoned magic students will directly participate in the summoning competition. I will evaluate each person's score based on your competition results."
"Those who can't be summoned and don't usually work hard... go back and face the wall to think about their mistakes, and their homework will be doubled. Do you understand?"
Hermine Genir looked around at the magic students present. After hearing the punishment, the students couldn't help but show a grimace on their faces, but under the severe intimidation of the summoning instructor, they all hunched their shoulders and nodded.
Those who were dozing off stopped dozing off. Everyone opened their mouths and answered loudly like they were in class:
"I understand!"
Of course, the double homework, which sounded uncomfortable, had no deterrent effect in front of the four Alices.
The problem is that some of them have to do at least three times the homework. Therefore, for students like them who have been tortured by homework, double the homework is just a cloud in the sky.
Alice's six senses were sharp, and she could feel a pair of eyes looking at her coldly... This was definitely not a kind look. Alice calmly tilted her head and looked to the side and behind.
That unfriendly guy obviously didn't expect Alice to feel his gaze.
You must know that lower-grade magic students do not have very strong mental power, especially in such large occasions with a large number of people, it is easy to weaken people's keen intuition.
In some ways, Alice's mental strength now far exceeds that of many magic students present, and it is no exaggeration to say that she can run them several blocks away.
Alice knew that person. In fact, if the other person hadn't looked at her, Alice would have stopped paying attention to this person.
This man's short chestnut hair was much longer than he remembered, and his dark brown eyes were darker than before, like the sunset in the sky at night.
He was looking back at Alice coldly, with his arms folded in front of his chest, his pale lips tightened like a line, and the smell of gunpowder was thick and choking.
It was Edward, the heir to the White family, the boy who betrayed Alice and called her a monster. He was also Alice's best friend and only friend.
But now Alice is no longer the little girl who used to follow Edward.
She is nine years old. She has many good friends and has met many good mentors who are willing to help her become a magician.
Alice didn't know why Edward was staring at her, and she wasn't interested in knowing. Because as early as the day Edward said she was a monster and chose to betray her, Alice had already drawn a clear line with him in her heart.
All the sadness and reluctance were nothing compared to her determination to see the facts clearly and distinguish between love and hate.
Alice stuck out her tongue at Edward indifferently, not wanting to look at him again, and turned her head without any nostalgia. She didn't know what she said to Willett beside her, and simply ignored him.
From Edward's perspective, this is undoubtedly a great humiliation, as well as a sense of emptiness as he is forgotten and not cared about.
Alice is his enemy. Edward will not admit that besides being angry and ashamed, he also feels a slight sense of loss. Just let this inexplicable feeling disappear!
He won't be sad!
This complex emotion made Edward's face even more ugly. The magic students standing next to him couldn't help but move to the side, showing cautious expressions, as if they were afraid of the wrath of the heir to the White family.
You can't blame them for being timid, their faces are really scary.
What's the reason for this sudden change of expression? Following Edward's line of sight, the eyes of the people around him were all focused on Alice's beautiful blond head. Was it because she was having a conflict with the little lion?
Because Alice was in the limelight some time ago?
Or are you jealous because she is so beautiful?
The magic students around Edward had all kinds of speculations in their minds, but they didn't dare to talk to him.
Alice didn't know what mood Edward was in, and her attention was focused on Willett at the moment. What she could feel was that Willett's spirit still seemed not to be good.
Although in the eyes of others Brenda is a genius and the highly anticipated Magic Guild Master. But in Alice's eyes, these identities and reputation are secondary.
Alice's first priority is to regard Brenda as her best friend, a flesh-and-blood person who needs her help and care, and a partner in the magical world who has experienced life and death and shared hardships.
So Alice cherishes the bond between them more than anyone else.
"Are you okay? Believe in yourself, we can all succeed, for sure."
Alice reached out and held Brenda's hand, as if this could convey confidence and encouragement to Willett.
Willett's body temperature is cooler than that of ordinary people, while Alice's palms are very warm.
Although she didn't like physical contact, she didn't feel any resistance to this warm feeling. On the contrary, Brenda felt a lot more relaxed in her heart.
The fog covering those ice-blue eyes seemed to be dissipating, and clear light came out, as if the clouds were clearing and the sun could be seen.
It was beautiful, and Alice was stunned, but they had no time to talk.
The team in front had already entered the summoning tower, and Alice let go of Willet's hand.
