This may be the first time that two vice presidents of Fringe College have sat together to discuss Fringe College’s stance towards various forces inside and outside the alliance in such an open and in-depth manner.
Very brief, yet very profound.
Colma was surprised to find that Professor Monteria, whom she had always thought was rigid and dogmatic, was unexpectedly radical and tough in his attitude towards safeguarding the interests of fringe wizards.
This made her quite happy.
But he was a little hesitant whether he had misunderstood the meaning of what the professor had just said.
After all, the two of them sitting in the tavern at the moment are also playing a game in a sense - the two of them must cooperate to safeguard the interests of Fringe College. However, after the establishment of Fringe College, the division of interests within the college has become
Another one is in trouble.
As Professor Monteria said, the greater the share one party gets, the less the other party gets.
The special configuration of the Titan Soldier is the largest 'share' of Edge College at the moment.
Obtaining a giant god weapon not only means that she has the ability to face higher-level wizards, but also means that she has a high possibility of becoming the first dean of Fringe Academy.
Just when she hesitated.
Professor Monteria suddenly changed the subject and mentioned a topic that she had not expected: "——Since you have already met the jury and know that you will become the driver of the No. 1 Primarch, why did you provoke that child this afternoon?
?”
This question has a bit of a jump.
Korma was stunned for a moment before he recovered from his chaotic thoughts.
There is no doubt that the 'child' the professor refers to is Zheng Qing, but does provoking him have anything to do with tonight's conversation?
She frowned, showing a rare hint of naughtiness belonging to the young witch: "How is this considered provoking? It's just a little joke, trying by the way to see if he can get him to withdraw from this test... If he withdraws, then the remaining two
The machine has a special configuration, so we can each use one... There won’t be any competition between us.”
This is indeed her simplest idea.
After all, as the deputy dean of Fringe College, she now has to learn to think about problems from a higher perspective, learn to 'unite', and learn to fight for more benefits for Fringe.
"...Unity is very important to the current Fringe Academy. I have divined many times, and that is the most likely way for him to withdraw from this project... It is a pity that you interrupted me." The witch shook the wine glass in her hand and looked at it.
The dark blue liquid swayed in the cup, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, obviously feeling a little regretful.
Professor Monteria smiled bitterly.
"really."
He rubbed the corners of his eyes and sighed: "This is the biggest shortcoming of the North District wizard. His background is too shallow, and he lacks enough allies and intelligence sources... I guess you don't know why you can beat me and pass the review.
Will you become the controller of the No. 1 Primarch under the scrutiny of the regiment?"
The young witch was a little dissatisfied with the word 'insufficient' when she suddenly heard the last question and was stunned for a moment: "Why? Isn't it to balance the power within Fringe Academy?"
Although she and Professor Monteria are both the vice-presidents of Fringe College, compared to Monteria, who comes from an ancient family, has already attended the Grand Wizard Meeting of the Alliance, and has been a professor at First University for a long time, she only has the Northern District Wizard.
The strength of Korma's support seemed particularly weak.
She originally thought that the school arranged for her to control Primarch No. 1 in order to check and balance Professor Monteria.
At this moment, it sounds like there are other inside stories?
"Before I came to you tonight, I went to see Vice President Ruoyu." Professor Monteria's expression was solemn and his tone was light: "——He mentioned that at Christmas last year, the child took you to see him.
His teacher and school knew about this, so they handed over the special configuration to you."
Kolma fell completely silent.
for a long time.
She murmured in a difficult voice: "——Is it just because of this?"
"That's why."
Professor Monteria let out a long sigh. His expression could not be told whether it was envy, regret, or melancholy. In short, it was very complicated: "Sir, you may not care about such trivial matters, but the school cannot ignore it. After all, in a sense,
, you will probably be one of the last outsiders He will ever see."
…
…
When the moon is at its zenith.
The black gem cat sneakily climbed over the wall of No. 33 Gudiao Street, and under the care of Yueying, quietly slipped into the Sakura Tavern along the wall.
It has nothing to do with things like "hiding one's eyes and ears" or "having a guilty conscience".
It was simply that the stone cat wanted to exercise its night hunting instincts and acted on its own initiative.
The door of the Sakura Tavern was not closed, leaving only a very narrow gap, which was just enough for the black gem cat to squeeze through. There was no one in the tavern, except for a group of house-raised fireflies lying under the beams, feebly stirring.
A small dim halo of light fell from his belly. The halo fell on the bar, covering the owner of the tavern.
When the black gem cat struggled to climb up the bar, he was surprised to find that Colma seemed drunk, resting on his arms and staring at the empty bottle at hand with blurred eyes.
The black gem cat flicked its tail.
I find it a bit troublesome.
It has not joined the main body today, but when it was taking a nap under the cat fruit tree in the evening, it suddenly received an instruction from the main body, asking it to come to the Sakura Tavern for a run in the evening. It did not say anything about the mission, but vaguely expressed that it knew it was coming.
Already.
What do you know?
Colma, has this guy drunk too much?
Do you want it to drag her to the cat fruit tree?
These evil thoughts flashed through the black gem cat's heart, and he stretched out his paw and waved it in front of the witch's eyes: "Hey, girl? Do you know who I am?"
The witch rolled her eyes slightly and glanced at it.
"A stone." She accurately stated the identity of the black gem cat.
This makes it quite boring.
"Since you know that I am a stone, that means you are awake now, right?" It pushed aside the wine bottle, squatted in front of the witch's nose in a grand manner, and asked with its head raised: "——You know what I am today?
Why did you come?"
The witch didn't answer her question.
Instead, he stared at the leaf of the regular script tree in front of the black gem cat's forehead, especially the shadow of a hovering cyan dragon imprinted on the leaf.
Before tonight, she might have seen the little green dragon and the leaves on the forehead of the black gem cat, but she had never seriously thought about the reason for their existence. But the conversation with Professor Monteria earlier seemed to have cleared up the fog.
, giving her a deeper understanding of the world.
Although she already had enough understanding of this cruel world.
A cat's paw dangled in front of her eyes.
Tell her not to get distracted.
"I don't know, I don't care, I'm not interested." The witch yawned loudly: "——You come to me and ask me what you want to do. How can this make sense?"
