Chapter 3 The first step
Alice didn't know what Edward was thinking.
Although not long ago, she was eager to get an explanation and response from Edward.
But Alice doesn't want to know now what the boy who was once her best friend was thinking.
All her thoughts were focused on the invitation to Credo Magic Academy. Alice believed more than anyone in the Love Orphanage that magic did exist in this world.
Alice also dreamed that one day she could live in Credo Magic Academy and become a powerful female magician.
However, when the dream came close to reality for the first time and came to her quietly and suddenly, Alice felt a little bit unreal.
It's not that Alice doesn't believe in magic, there isn't even any resistance in Alice's heart. Alice is just thinking quickly about what choices she should make in this short period of time to suit her wishes. .
Alice felt that she was no longer a child, she was no longer the ignorant doll she was when she was five years old. She did not decide to stay and continue to stay in this orphanage without much freedom, and she also did not want to face Edward again.
So, Alice swallowed secretly, carefully looked at Mendris who was standing respectfully at the door, and said in a childish voice:
"Are you afraid of me, sir?"
Everyone present, including Mendelis, did not expect that this little girl who was about to be nine years old would ask such a question first.
"It is an honor for me to serve Miss Alice. Mendelis is also willing to be loyal to you in the future. When there is no need to fear you, I will not be afraid because of your innate great power."
After a brief surprise, the handsome young man put one hand on his chest and bowed respectfully to Alice, whose height could only reach his waist.
The next moment, Alice, who was ten meters away, suddenly flew up, instantly arrived in front of Mondlis, and hugged the handsome young man's neck very happily.
A series of pleasant laughter sounded, like the cuckoo's chirping, and as clear and sweet as a clear spring.
It was the first time for the children in the Love Orphanage to see such an extraordinary sight. Except for Edward, everyone was so frightened that they forgot to curse and moan.
Although Edward was not surprised by Alice's ability, he had never heard Alice smile so happily. Why does the ugly voice sound so good? Why would anyone be willing to be the servant of a fatherless orphan?
This isn't fair!
Edward's eyes were burning with anger, and jealousy made his expression become ferocious and terrifying. The veins on Edward's forehead were exposed and throbbing, and his lips were bitten to the point of bleeding.
However, today's protagonist is not Edward, but Alice. That annoying and ugly follower who usually follows him doesn't even look at him anymore.
"In the future, when you get to Credo, you can feel free to use your abilities, Miss Alice."
Mendelis had no intention of resisting and allowed Alice to hug him happily. He thought of Alice's life experience. His deep eyes were full of pity and kindness, and he smiled and patted the girl's back gently, tenderly. Say it respectfully.
"Um."
Alice buried her head on Mondris' chest and nodded vigorously.
At this moment, all the unhappiness, worries and worries were thrown away. Alice just wanted to tightly embrace this unexpected beauty.
It is undeniable that Alice at this time was as happy as a child who got candy.
After receiving Alice's reply, Mendris quickly left the orphanage with the little girl without taking any luggage or anything.
Before the Love Orphanage completely disappeared from sight, Alice couldn't help but look back and take a deep look at the place where she had lived for nearly nine years. But she had already made a choice, and she had to learn to let go and not be indecisive.
"Miss Alice?"
Mondlis's call interrupted her reluctant thoughts, and Alice understood that now was not the time to feel sad, or that she should have been cheering because she was far away from here and going to the place she longed for.
"Where could Credo be? How should we get there?"
Alice raised her smile again, and her tone was as bright as the morning sunshine. Even though the sky was now as dark as ink.
"Shh... don't worry about this. I have already arranged the itinerary."
Although you can't see the smile under the veil, those beautiful amber eyes that make the stars and the moon eclipse are still so beautiful that they make you lose your mind.
Mendelis didn't care whether Alice was such an ugly little girl as the children in the orphanage said. For a girl with such clear and beautiful eyes, her heart must also be uniquely beautiful.
What's more, in Mondlis' heart, as long as Alice is Alice, it's enough. Alice cannot be replaced by anyone in Credo, no...it should be unique in the entire magical world.
Alice held the wide hem of Mondlis's black trench coat and walked through the bustling streets. She shuttled among the dense crowds, walked on the deserted stone bridge, and then came to a room alone in the jungle, watching
In front of the unassuming cabin.
"We're here, we just need to go through it to enter Credo Magic Academy."
Mendris pointed to the closed door of the wooden house and whispered in a low voice. After the handsome young man finished speaking, he leaned over and took out a pair of exquisite and bright gold-rimmed glasses, and placed them elegantly on the bridge of his nose.
After putting on the gold-rimmed glasses, Mendris's temperament suddenly became elegant and mysterious. It was like the legendary and noble academic magician that Alice had heard from the story.
"Instead of opening the wooden door, go through the wooden door?"
Alice looked up at Mondlis' young and handsome profile, and asked in a childish voice that was immature but not weak. Her amber eyes sparkled with pure trust.
"As you said."
Mondris nodded slightly, then raised his left hand with his palm facing upward, gesturing for Alice to put her hand on it. He did not give any additional explanation about the wooden house.
After receiving Mondlis's affirmation, Alice stretched out her little hand and placed it obediently on the man's slender, well-jointed palm. The temperature from her palm was neither burning nor cold, it was the warmest and most friendly body temperature.
With Mondris' silent encouragement, Alice took a deep breath, then took the first step and pulled Mondris towards the closed wooden door in front of her.
The expected pain from being hit on the head did not occur, and Alice passed through the wooden door smoothly.
