Alpha College has a large number of students from wizarding families.
These ancient families with a history of thousands of years have accumulated a wide variety of complex rules and preferences.
For example, the student lounge.
Unlike the common rooms of Kuyou Academy or Starry Sky Academy, Alpha Academy has a large number of small private lounges.
These lounges were built, decorated, and leased by different wizarding families on a long-term basis. The Alpha Academy allowed these families to hang their family emblems on the doors of the lounges.
Every wizarding family that has an independent lounge in Alpha Academy is proud of it.
Due to the different wizarding families that built and rented it, the styles of the lounges are also different.
For example, the Black family, which has a long history, has inherited the glitz and decadence of the ancient blood family, and the lounge has a strong rococo style. The new generation vampire Cullen family, which has a relatively short history and is still very radical in style, prefers a more luxurious Baroque style.
style.
The Ness family is a small wizarding family with pure blood. Due to some historical factors, they have close ties with the Cullen family. Under the arrangement of the Cullen family, Arthur Ness, who is studying at the Alpha Academy, has a private resting place.
room.
This lounge is small in size but magnificently decorated.
The dome is piled with gorgeous reliefs, and the surrounding walls are decorated with marble, gems, bronze, mithril and other materials of different colors, giving every student sitting in this lounge a sense of satisfaction and oppression.
It's just that the depressive feeling in the lounge now is not caused by these luxurious buildings.
It was caused by the dull conversation atmosphere in the lounge.
An invited guest used an almost rude tone toward the owner of the lounge, His Excellency Arthur Ness.
No matter from which angle you look at it, this behavior seems a bit disrespectful. In the Alpha Campus of Pride and Prejudice, uncultured students will be despised by everyone.
Arthur pursed his lips, breathed gently, and looked at Sima Yi.
"Then what should we do?" he asked in a stiff tone.
Even though the old man at home told him that the fortune-tellers from the East all had the style of madmen, he still couldn't accept Sima Yi's frivolous tone just now.
"Change the nature of your bullying of newcomers. Let them no longer be newcomers in the ordinary sense." Sima Yi seemed not to be aware of the suppressed atmosphere in the lounge.
He put down the book in his hand and looked at everyone with a smile.
"Not a newcomer?" Kitano Yuan repeated doubtfully.
"Yes. Not a newcomer." Sima Yi shook his head and suddenly asked a question: "Everyone knows that Duke Milton of the Blood Tribe Council once studied at the First University."
Many students in the lounge had looks of awe on their faces.
Arthur Ness also nodded slowly.
The Duke of Milton is the contemporary head of the Cullen family, a name worthy of everyone's respect in this lounge.
"Duke Milton also started studying in the freshman year. What if, I mean if." Sima Yi emphasized: "What if the person fighting you on the pedestrian street of Beta Town is Lord Milton, a freshman who has just entered the university?
?Is there any shame in this battle of yours?"
Arthur Ness's eyes lit up.
"It is our honor to receive your Lord's guidance." Kitano Yuan shouted from the side.
"This is our honor." Sima Yi repeated and glanced at the lounge:
"What we are discussing now is not to reduce public opinion, but to reduce losses. From today on, I don't want to hear you slandering those outstanding freshmen. On the contrary, I hope to hear more positive remarks at the club meeting after the evening self-study.
.”
Arthur Ness somewhat understood what Sima Yi meant.
The expression on his face was like he had swallowed a big fly.
"Can you stir up other topics on campus to cover up this matter?" Arthur still resisted praising those young kids and struggled to ask.
Few people would praise someone who humiliates them.
"Let's make a plan." Sima Yi objected: "As I said before, no plan can avoid the fact that you were suppressed by a group of freshmen."
"I know this is difficult. But you must get over it and not avoid it. It's like an inertia spell. The longer you avoid it, the more powerful it will be when it breaks out."
"The greater the power, the greater the loss will be."
"This lounge cannot afford any further damage."
"You need to drink up this cup of bitter wine before this matter is fully fermented."
"Remember, drink with a smile."
Arthur Ness nodded silently.
The other members in the lounge breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as this trouble can be solved as soon as possible, others don't mind putting money on their opponent's face.
That night.
Some new news began to spread from the private gatherings of old students, and quickly spread throughout the campus.
"The boy who used a magical talisman is said to be a descendant of a certain branch of Kunlun in the Holy Land of the East."
"Zhang Jixin turns out to be a child of the Zhang family. I just said that fighting style is so familiar."
"The swordsman from Starry Sky Academy is holding a high-level magic weapon!"
Students are very interested in gossip.
The news spread effortlessly, and became more and more abundant as it spread.
During the dissemination process, a lot of real information was added inadvertently by others.
This surprised Arthur and his friends.
For example, the boy named Zheng Qing turned out to be a government-funded student! It is said that he accomplished an unprecedented feat in the first test of the talisman class and frightened the young lecturer into fainting!
The short boy wearing glasses is a special admissions student who entered Jiuyou Academy with a score of zero in the college entrance examination! You know, grades and scores are the truth in Jiuyou Academy, which lives by taking exams.
Now someone has broken this truth!
"It's a complete surprise." Sima Yi concluded.
Sometimes, no one will pay attention to what you try your best to get others to admit. But no matter how hard you try to eliminate the storm, it will continue to make waves.
Jiuyou College, dormitory 403.
"What should I do?" Zheng Qing looked a little proud, but also distressed, grabbing an invitation letter in his hand and looking at his roommates in the dormitory.
This is already the Nth invitation letter he has received within a week.
Correspondingly, during this period, he also received thirty-seven invitations to duels.
Although he used various means to avoid part of the duel, he still inevitably accepted it four times.
And those four opponents who were better than him promoted his already false reputation even higher.
Zheng Qing was really helpless.
He raised his head and glanced out the window.
Maybe it's because it's cloudy and there's no moon in the sky.
In the dormitory, the dangling fluorescent tube on the ceiling cast a cold, white light, filling the whole dormitory with a chilly atmosphere.
The curtains on Dylan's six-poster bed were still tightly closed, and there were some suspicious creaking sounds coming from behind the curtains.
It seems like he is biting a bone?
Zheng Qing pretended not to hear the voice and tried his best to focus on the invitation letter in front of him.
Beside the desk, there was also a pile of invitations placed in front of Xiao Xiao.
"There is no other way." Xiao Xiao scratched his chin with some distress, and drew on the black notebook with one hand: "Be content, Lan Que has already fought twenty-four duels in the past few days."
"I never knew you were a descendant of Kunlun!" Fatty Xin said in a disgusting flattering tone, with a flattering smile on his face: "A direct descendant of Taoism! Give the younger one a few ghost paintings.
.”
"Get out!" Zheng Qing looked annoyed, grabbed the ball that was lying on the table and sniffed the withered chrysanthemum, and threw it at Fatty Xin fiercely.
Suddenly, there was a burst of dancing cats in the dormitory.
