Su Lun and Sabina were led around the academy by Jike.
Originally, they thought that having a guide would save them the trouble of asking for directions and reading signs.
Unexpectedly, while walking, Jike actually said that they were going the wrong way.
After passing another intersection, Su Lun and the others saw a gorgeous small auditorium with a steeple. Through the glass windows of the auditorium, they happened to look at a group of beautiful female students in ballet costumes rehearsing.
But this is not the library as expected.
Jike looked at the surrounding environment, finally showed his embarrassment, and said: "Ah, teacher, we seem to have arrived at the small auditorium, which is in the opposite direction to the library."
Su Lun and Sabina looked dumbfounded when they heard this.
At first glance, this outrageous mistake can only be made by students who just stay at home and never participate in group activities.
Jike also felt quite embarrassed and explained, "I haven't visited the campus much. The archives and laboratories of the School of Pharmacy that I visit most on weekdays. I don't know why I was transferred to the other side."
Su Lun also smiled and reassured: "It's okay. The scenery of the college is very good. It's good to go shopping more."
The three of them took the wrong road and went back in another direction.
Suellen asked some topics related to Jike's life at the Royal Academy.
But there are very few interesting things that Jike can say.
His life seems to consist of only laboratories and libraries. In addition to studying and searching for information, he also conducts experiments, which is boring and boring.
After all, this is the Royal Academy, and Su Lun can also see that his disciple only gets high-spirited when talking about explosives, and he has a kind of loneliness and inferiority from the bottom of his heart in life.
The three of them had not walked a few steps when Su Lun also noticed a gaze searching from the direction of the small auditorium behind him.
Then I heard the sound of light footsteps.
Looking back, I saw a girl chasing out. She seemed to recognize Jike, who had the brim of his hat lowered, and greeted in a tentative tone: "Jike?"
Su Lun stopped when he heard someone calling Jike's name.
Jike glanced back, his expression becoming a little evasive.
He seemed to know the girl, but he didn't want to meet her.
The girl was excited and ran over. She was still wearing her rehearsal tutu, "Jike, is it really you?"
She looked like it was really Jike, and she couldn't hide the joy on her pretty face and said: "Are you here to see our rehearsal? Just now Sibel said she saw you, I thought she was wrong."
Jike appeared a little at a loss, and deliberately turned his face to hide the burned left side of his face, "I, I don't."
Su Lun looked at his evasive expression and failed to understand that he had met a girl he liked. He chuckled and asked, "Jike, is this your classmate?"
Jike looked slightly embarrassed and nodded, but wanted to escape from here.
The girl didn't care, and cheerfully curtsied like a noble lady, and introduced herself to Su Lun: "Hello, sir. My name is Phoebe Shelley, and I am a classmate of Jack's."
Jike was afraid that his teacher would offend a nobleman without knowing it, so he quickly introduced: "Phoebe's father is a distinguished hereditary baron of the empire."
Su Lun listened without saying a word, but immediately understood why his disciple had low self-esteem.
In Luying, nobles and commoners are two different classes of people.
For nobles, marriage is the most stable and lasting way to exchange interests. Therefore, usually their children will never marry commoners. This kind of secret love is usually destined to be fruitless.
Su Lun thought of the love story between the great writer Fujiwara Hayabusa and his grandmother Katyusha. They were beautiful and beautiful, but in the end they couldn't make up for the difference in status.
"Oh? Noble"
Sabina on the side heard this, with a smile in her eyes: "No wonder Phoebe is so good-looking and well-educated."
"Thank you for your compliment."
The girl's cheeks turned slightly red when she was praised. She also showed her good tutoring and responded politely: "You are also the most charming lady I have ever seen."
Sabina looked at the little girl and smiled with her eyebrows arched, as if she was very satisfied.
Su Lun also thought it was pretty good.
At least she didn't mind Jike's civilian status, and she clearly saw the scars on Jike's face but didn't mention it.
This is a kind-hearted girl.
After Phoebe greeted him politely, she looked at Jike again and said with a sly smile: "Jike, did you secretly come to see me rehearse just now?"
Her little naughty toothy smile directly resolved the embarrassment of "being caught doing something", and she said openly: "Actually, you don't have to come here secretly, tell me in advance, and I will be very happy for you to come see me."
Rehearsal."
Two simple sentences boldly expressed a girl's feelings, but Jike probably didn't understand them.
However, it was true that he was not here to see the rehearsal, he hesitated and said: "No. I am accompanying the teacher."
Phoebe looked at Su Lun and Sabina again, blinked: "Teacher?"
Children in upper-class society have various tutors, and it is not surprising to have teachers.
Sabina smiled and corrected: "We are Jike's family."
Hearing this, Phoebe felt a little surprised.
Although neither Su Lun nor Sabina had any coat of arms to show their noble status, their clothes and demeanor were unusual at first glance.
It seems that I have never heard of Jike having such a family.
But she didn't care, and then found the topic again, saying: "Jike, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you still staying in the laboratory? I told you that you have to come out and walk around."
Jack looked very unnatural, especially in front of his teacher. He was so embarrassed that he almost stuttered, "Well, I. I."
Although Su Lun didn't know what experiences the two had before, he could see that they looked at each other with light in their eyes.
As a disciple, he obviously did not dare to respond to the girl's enthusiasm because of his low self-esteem.
Su Lun felt that he should help Jike build some confidence, and originally wanted to ask the girl to have lunch or something. But at this moment, a group of young students saw several people in the exchange and hurried over.
There are men and women, and you can tell from the coat of arms on the buttons of their clothes that they are minor nobles.
These people walked over with arrogant expressions.
Someone called Phoebe: "Phoebe, the next rehearsal is about to start, why are you here?"
As they got closer, the brown-haired boy in the lead pretended to recognize Jike, and said in a strange tone: "Who is this? Isn't this the 'ammunition genius' Jike of our class? Tsk tsk. I won't stay in your utility room."
, why are you here? Oh, what happened to your face, your fingers were also blown off? "
Originally, I was going to see the festival rehearsal of Miss Phoebe, who I would most likely become my "fiancée", but I didn't expect to encounter a toad. Naturally, I was not in a good mood.
"."
Jike listened to these obviously sarcastic words and remained silent. His inferiority complex made him unable to hold his head up.
Seeing this, the brown-haired boy sneered again, his eyes full of disdain. He turned to Phoebe and said: "Phoebe, why are you with this kind of person? If my uncle knows, he will definitely say that I am in the college
I didn’t take good care of you.”
Phoebe obviously knew that these people were here to taunt Jike, just like they had done many times in the past.
She said with a bad face: "Classmate Tim, I'm not that familiar with you, okay?"
With that said, she directly took Jike's hand and said, "Let's go, Jike, let's go somewhere else."
"you!"
This protective action made the brown-haired boy named Tim look even more gloomy.
At this moment, the skinny yellow-haired little follower next to him suddenly caught a glimpse of the gold pocket watch hanging on Jike's chest, and quickly pulled it off.
After being able to see the trademark on the pocket watch clearly, the little follower immediately seemed to have discovered some new tricks, and suddenly said in a strange way: "Look, our classmate Jike is actually wearing the 'Philippe Warrior's Heart'!
Wow, a limited edition pocket watch worth over one million liso."
As soon as he said this, the students started mocking him.
"Tsk, tsk, classmate Jike is really rich. I didn't even buy this limited edition mechanical pocket watch even though I was procrastinating, but you actually have one?"
"Haha, maybe someone picked it up. After all, I heard that he often goes to the college's waste processing room to pick up materials."
"Hahaha, the Jike family is a big fur trader. How can you say that someone picked it up?"
"."
Ridicule is like a sharp sword, stabbing people's dignity until it bleeds.
Jike mustered up the courage, grabbed the pocket watch, and shouted angrily: "Give it back to me! This is my thing!"
He can be humiliated himself, but this is a greeting gift from his elders and must not be defiled by others.
The little follower understood Master Tim's hint and was not willing to let it go easily. He grabbed Jike's collar and said aggressively: "Hey, I just lost a valuable pocket watch, and now I suspect it was stolen.
Come with me to the school office!"
Although he knew that the other party was deliberately causing trouble, Jike still argued: "This is the pocket watch given to me by my elders! It's not the one you lost!"
Naturally, those little nobles noticed Su Lun early on.
But seeing that neither of them had any signs of aristocratic status, they didn't take it seriously.
What's more, this Jike is a notoriously poor man, the son of a fur trader. If he really had a big background, he wouldn't have lived in the service room for so long.
They thought, if these two people really dare to come forward, they must let these two people know the consequences of offending the nobles!
The yellow-haired little follower said reluctantly: "Huh, it's you who has the final say. Follow me to the school affairs office, and of course someone will judge!"
It doesn't matter what the truth is, he just wants to humiliate this ungrateful toad in front of Young Master Tim.
"Don't go too far!"
Phoebe on the side shouted anxiously.
She was also shocked when she heard this. It would be difficult to explain clearly if she had to go to the school office.
She knew very well that civilian students like Jike could not explain why they were right. If they really made a big fuss, they would most likely be expelled from the academy!
However, such an expensive pocket watch.
She suddenly looked at the two elders of Jike.
Su Lun had been watching indifferently, and after listening to the conversation, he knew that this was probably Jike's love rival.
Phoebe is a pretty girl, and she looks like the type that boys would like.
But it's normal for people at this age to be jealous.
He had no intention of ending, so he just watched silently.
But now, I can't help but intervene.
As expected, school bullying occurs everywhere.
Under normal circumstances, some aristocratic students bully civilian students. This is also part of daily fun, and no one will care.
The civilians were bullied and had no choice but to endure it.
Because in Luying, even a look that offends a noble is a serious crime that will lead to imprisonment.
This is even the purpose of recruiting civilians to the academy. Raising a few silver carps will stimulate these noble fishes and give them a place to show their sense of superiority.
Unfortunately, they messed with the wrong person this time.
Before Su Lun could speak, Sabina said calmly: "I gave this pocket watch to Jike."
She has no interest in embarrassing a group of underachievers.
Unexpectedly, these little nobles are not fuel-efficient at all.
Although Sabina was wearing a wide-brimmed hat with black gauze covering half of her face, the yellow-haired little guy was also shocked by her beauty, but he deliberately mocked: "Auntie, who are you?
"
As a professional intelligence officer, Sabina had already identified the family backgrounds of these people from their noble coats of arms. After hearing this, she coldly retorted: "A baronet who bought meritorious service, and a
Hereditary little viscount. Is this low-level noble status the basis for your arrogance?"
Nobles are one level above common people.
But in fact, there are also taunting chains among the nobles.
The title levels of duke, marquis, uncle, son, male, etc. are chains of contempt.
Those above the earl level are called high nobles, and those below are called low nobles.
Then Tim is the hereditary Viscount.
Huang Mao is a baronet and can only be considered a pseudo-noble.
Sabina's condescending and arrogant tone really calmed the young men.
If lower nobles offend higher nobles, they will also be in big trouble.
Then Tim looked at Su Lun and Su Lun seriously. Then he showed the etiquette that a noble should have. He introduced himself first: "I am Tim Price. Who is your wife?"
Sabina vividly performed the arrogance of a high-ranking noble. When she heard the question, she didn't even look at the boy's intention. Instead of answering, she asked: "You really want to know who I am?"
After a pause, she said in a deep voice: "If I remember correctly, the Price family is a small lord of Bletya, a border city in the east of Lu Ying? Your family seems to be in the iron ore business? From the Forest of Shadows.
The quality of the newly discovered mineral deposits is very problematic, and your family is very worried. It’s a good thing that you still have the energy to bully your classmates here.”
As soon as he said this, Tim turned pale with fright.
Little lord?
He didn't expect that he just said his name and the other party told him his origins clearly.
With this cold and arrogant tone, there is no need to doubt that the person in front of him is definitely a high-ranking noble!
Sabina is a professional intelligence officer and knows almost everything about Lu Ying's nobles.
Not to mention how much money is needed to deal with these half-grown men?
She sneered and continued: "Classmate Tim, right? It seems that you have already decided to cause trouble for your family? Haha, do you know that you have offended me? Once I say my last name, you and your
My father had to come to apologize."
Before he finished speaking, Tim's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the panic in his eyes could not be concealed.
He quickly bowed and saluted, and explained hurriedly: "No, madam, I think there may be some misunderstanding here. I never meant to offend you."
If his father found out that he had offended a high-ranking noble in the academy, his legs would probably be broken.
Sabina was not interested in talking any more and said expressionlessly: "Apologise! Then, go wherever you need to go."
At this moment, Tim was so frightened that he lost all his strength. He decisively protected his chest and performed the aristocratic salute, and said: "I'm sorry for offending the noble lady."
The yellow-haired follower on the side also panicked and apologized.
Sabina shook her head, "You're not apologizing to me. It's Jike."
After hearing this, Tim and others' faces became very ugly, but they could only do as they were told and lowered their noble heads towards the civilians they looked down upon: "I'm sorry, Jike. We wrongly blamed you."
Tim and others came here proudly, but now they left dejectedly.
Jike stood there with a dumbfounded expression on his face.
He never expected that the noble classmate who was so overwhelmed in his eyes would actually be forced to apologize and run away by this lady in just a few words?
But at the same time, Jike also realized that his teacher's friend was actually a noble and high-ranking noble!
As soon as Sabina opened her mouth to express her position, she suddenly felt like an elder speaking, her aura was overwhelming, and there was no room for Jike to speak.
Phoebe on the side suddenly became cautious.
Facing a high-ranking nobleman, the young master of the Viscount family apologized and ran away. How could she, a young lady from the Baron family, dare to be too presumptuous?
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange, and Phoebe also knew that she should leave, so she used honorifics and said: "Well, I'm sorry, distinguished Madam and Sir, although it's very rude, but... I should go to rehearsal."
If you stay any longer, it will appear to be shameless.
"Um."
Sabina smiled and asked again: "Phoebe, if you are free, would Jike want to invite you to have dinner with you another day?"
Phoebe glanced at Jike from the corner of her eye and nodded with a restrained expression, "Yeah."
As she spoke, she quickly bowed slightly and saluted, then turned around like a deer and said, "Then I'll go first."
Su Lun and the two nodded.
Sabina looked at the girl's back and sighed: "What a kind girl."
Su Lun smiled and agreed: "Yeah."
Sabina naturally understood Su Lun's attitude and revealed a little bit of her identity, which also gave Jike some confidence.
What's more, Su Lun's current status and strength are not comparable to those of any noble.
What happened just now can only be regarded as a small episode, and the three of them continued to walk in the academy.
Probably because facing a high-ranking noble, Jike seemed much more reserved than before.
At this time, Sabina asked curiously: "Jike, you and classmate Phoebe seem to be quite familiar with each other?"
Jike responded: "When I first entered school, the college organized a 'Warcraft Hunting Practice Class', but there was a little accident. The Warcraft went crazy and hurt someone. Other students were scared, so I helped her. Later, I read the book
We met several times in the library and chatted a few times, and we became friends. Phoebe was also my only friend in the college. Later, when I encountered difficulties, she always helped me."
The acquaintance process was vivid in his mind. Jike's tone was a little emotional, but at the end of the sentence, his eyes dimmed and he said: "But you can't keep causing trouble to others."
"Oh, so you saved her?"
Sabina didn't understand the deep inferiority contained in these words.
At this time, she said something meaningful, "Jike, you are Mr. Su Lun's disciple, but you are no worse than any noble."
Jike also mustered up some courage and nodded seriously, "Yeah!"
After talking about this, Su Lun felt a little strange.
Logically speaking, as a teacher, even if he is not a noble, he should not be given the nickname "The God of Death" to give his disciples some confidence?
When his old friends saw him, they all made fun of his majesty in the battle in the Moros city-state.
The [Eight-Armed Spider Spear] breeding outfit was once displayed in Blizzard City Su Lun. It stands to reason that Zike shouldn't be able to guess such a highly recognizable breeding outfit.
But he, his disciple, didn’t respond at all?
Could it be that he thought I was the second-level professional in Blizzard City?
Su Lun thought it was probably so.
He thought of something and asked: "Jike, haven't you read the newspaper recently?"
Jike didn't know why his teacher asked such a strange question, but he admitted: "Ah, yes."
"I have spent most of the last half of the year in the laboratory. I rarely pay attention to practical matters and have little time to read newspapers."
He thought he had missed some major event worthy of attention, and asked again: "Teacher, did the newspaper say something big happened?"
Hearing this, Su Lun chuckled and shook his head, "Oh. That's okay."
Jike doesn't communicate with others or read newspapers, so it's strange that he has to know.
Seeing Jike's blank expression, Sabina on the side covered her mouth and smiled softly, and said, "If you have read the newspaper, you will know what a great teacher you have."
Jike was a little confused, "Huh?"
After thinking about it for a moment, he finally realized that he seemed to have heard something extraordinary.
