Chapter 226 Inside the Window and Outside the Window
Nicholas became more and more silent.
Except for Liu Feifei, who studies with him every day, only Zheng Qing and a few others have noticed this. Although most people in the class did not cynicize Nicholas like foreign students or Alpha students, they did not
I will stand behind him and cheer him on.
Because ever since Nicholas threw his 'self-justification' into the newspaper, the focus of public opinion has been upgraded from 'an ordinary nine-year-old student's views on the murloc riots' to the college conflict of 'freedom and equality'.
Public opinion in Alpha concluded that Nicholas was under pressure from within Jiuyou Academy, so his defense in the newspaper lacked credibility. And after the Beta Town Post released the full record of the interview, saying that it was not taken out of context, public opinion became even more
There was an uproar. There were many voices in Alpha Castle who regarded Nicholas as a 'liar', a coward, and a dishonest person.
Similarly, there are few supporters of Nicholas in Jiuyou College. On the one hand, before Nicholas entered Jiuyou College, the first college he entered was Alpha College, which made him seem to be born with some kind of sin.
', and his speech on the 'Murloc Incident' further proves this point; on the other hand, Nicholas's behavior of easily changing his position after being pressured by public opinion also made Jiuyou College blame others, as if the college did not allow students to express
It's like my own position.
This sounds contradictory, but it is true.
Pharmacy class on Thursday.
In the corner of the Potions class, Liu Feifei cut off an herb with wooden scissors and handed it to Nicholas. In order to prevent others in the class from saying bad things about him, the witch specially applied to be in the same potion-making group as him.
"Star grass has a pungent, warm and fragrant nature. It connects the heart and spleen internally and reaches the limbs externally. It can detoxify and relieve pain." The witch whispered and handed the herb to Nicholas' hand: "Chop it into pieces and scald it with boiling water."
With a stiff smile on his face, Nicholas took the piece of herbs and started working silently. This made the witch's face even more worried. She raised her head uneasily and looked around.
Everyone in the classroom was paying attention to the crucible and medicine jar in front of them, and no one was looking at them.
Liu Feifei didn't know which situation was worse, turning a blind eye or treating him like a scumbag, but she knew that she didn't like either situation. She hoped that everyone would face Nicholas with a normal attitude like her.
On the podium, Professor Li Qihuang's weak voice came, as if coming from the distant horizon: "... After grinding the star grass, simmer it in boiling water, then mix it with onion juice, and stir it clockwise for nine and a half times with a jade spoon.
, add three qian of warm wine. Here we often use Shaoxing rice wine as a condiment. Its mild nature can make the medicinal effect evaporate slowly..."
Nicholas carefully mixed the potion according to the professor's instructions. On the contrary, Liu Feifei was a little confused. Either she measured the wrong weight of the rice wine or she stirred in the wrong direction.
After a few times, she became more and more frustrated.
"Am I useless?" The witch pursed her lips and her eyes were a little red. She was not only annoyed at the small jar of potion in front of her, but also annoyed at her own inability to deal with Nicholas.
The stiff expression on the wizard's face finally softened a lot.
"No, absolutely not." His tone was very firm: "If you, as the chief student, feel that you are useless, then I should throw myself into the Mariana Trench and serve as a snack for the big sea monster."
"You haven't passed the exam as a registered wizard. The Siren King won't eat snacks like yours. It's too embarrassing." The witch couldn't help but smile, and her mood finally improved a little. Anyway, Nicholas can still joke.
, this is a good sign.
The wizard twitched his lips in response and turned to look out the window.
"Don't worry, I'm strong."
He murmured, looking at the blurry face reflected in the glass window, and said silently to himself: "If there are two things in this world that I am good at, then one is to protect my sister, and the other is to
Learn to be strong.”
"Well, now I have to add one more thing...to protect your peace of mind."
Thinking of this, the wizard grinned and made a happy smile.
In the corridor near the window, a figure in white robes was slowly passing by. As if aware of the sight behind the window, the white-robed wizard glanced at him casually.
Nicholas' eyes seemed to be stabbed, and he suddenly shrank back.
…
…
Sir Friedman looked away, feeling that the face behind the window looked familiar.
But looking at the appearance of this classroom, it seems that a group of first-grade Jiuyou students are taking potions class. Friedman doesn’t think he will know any first-year Jiuyou students-except for Zheng Qing and Matthew. The former
He has embarrassed his subordinates twice and three times. The latter is his cousin, so he is naturally no stranger to the two of them.
The steaming mist in the Potions classroom made the face a little blurry.
After thinking for a long time, Jazz finally remembered who the familiar face belonged to when he reached the end of the corridor and was about to turn.
Nicholas Green Oswall.
The half-werewolf who once entered the school with him was a half-breed of the Oswall family. He once thought that this half-wolf had certain qualities that other half-bloods did not have, and he even considered letting him join his lounge.
activities. But later facts proved that some qualities can never be made up for.
Bastards are just hybrids after all. No matter how noble their mixed bloodline is, they can't hide the despicable aura of their other half.
Just like the incident that caused a lot of commotion recently.
A wizard with a sense of honor would never change his position under inexplicable pressure, let alone make up lies in a newspaper. Whenever he thought about this matter, Sir Friedman had the urge to attribute Nicholas's belongings to Austria.
The blood of the Sver family was drawn out, so as not to tarnish the glory of Yuexia.
But this is First University, not the castle of the Cullen family, nor the lawless hunting grounds outside the school. Except during practical classes and hunting competitions, First University does not allow students to take out Dharma books from each other.
"It's a really bad world."
Sir Friedman's gloomy gaze swept across the corridor and past the gray world outside the window. For a moment, his mood became particularly bad.
Because Nicholas reminded him of the harassment by the fish-men tribe, and then of the riot he dealt with by the group of centaurs outside Alphaburg. The same method, but different results, made him see the disappointment in Augustus's eyes.
He had never seen the same disappointment in the eyes of Augustus when he looked at Serprano's fat man.
This gave Jazz an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart.
And this is also the reason why he appears in this stairwell at this moment.
