Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 12 12. Roommate
"You move too slowly!"

Hayward, who had been waiting at the long table in the auditorium, rushed forward as soon as he saw Emma appear, bent the knuckles of his index finger and middle finger, and tapped Emma lightly on the head.

The same lines and the same actions as when we met again in Calilia.

But Emma could feel that she was so happy that her voice trembled slightly.It seems that Hayward is really worried that he will fail the exam...

"Long wait."

Emma smiled and looked at the branch in Hayward's hand.It was a hawthorn branch with a bunch of red fruits hanging from it.

"I said...you couldn't be hungry at that time, did you?"

Hayward smiled, noncommittal.

……

When all the staff arrived, Vice President Passy counted the number of people and wrote down on the roster.

"Seven people...the quality of this batch is really good."

Emma looked at the rest of the people, everyone looked tired, after all, they had just hiked in the jungle for a long time.There were only seven of the forty people left, and only two of the group of noble ladies were left, holding hands and sitting on the other side of the long table, looking a little dependent on each other.

"Very good. I now announce that this year's Turin College entrance examination is officially over. You are the last batch of 120 candidates. Before you, ten candidates have successfully passed the examination."

Only seventeen of the 120 candidates were admitted, and Emma had the illusion of a survivor.Downey's wife once told her that Turing College's acceptance rate was less than [-]%, and it seemed that it was not entirely hearsay.

"From today onwards, you are the magic apprentices of Turin College. Please remember our school motto and read it to me, 'Keep Proud'."

"Stay proud!" everyone read aloud.

……

After the registration, the branches used as the raw material of the wand were carefully put into exquisite wooden boxes by the teacher, and they were ready to be sent to the wand master in a unified way.The teacher let out a "Huh?" at the sight of Emma's pale branch.

"The branches of the heartwood... haven't seen them for years."

She felt so emotional, but she quickly put away the branches.

The apprentice's dormitory is on the small steeple seen from the air when I came.To say that they are small is naturally only relative to the huge clock tower.The new apprentices frightenedly followed behind the teacher, detouring up the seemingly endless spiral staircase.Then they were assigned to the dormitories one by one.

I don't know what kind of means Hayward used, but Emma was assigned to the same room as her.

The rooms are fan-shaped, with three on each floor.There are three windows in the room, all of which have been pushed open at this time, and fresh air blows into the room.Beside each window is a single oak bed with school-stamped linens and white hangings on the bedposts.On the left side of the bed is a bedside table made of the same material, and on the right side is an exquisite narrow wardrobe.

Opening the closet, a brand new burqa was already hanging inside.The collar was embroidered with tiny swifts on one side and irises of the same size on the other.

"It seems that we still have a roommate, and we don't know where she went."

Hayward looked at the furthest bed, which had obviously been made.Emma secretly made a wish, hoping to be a good person to get along with.

"Come on, let's go to the balcony above and have a look."

Although it was a bit annoyed that Hayward couldn't stay idle for a moment, Emma actually wanted to go up and have a look.When I was watching from the spaceship, I imagined that the balcony near the top of the steeple must have a good view.

……

Walking out of the balcony gate, in front of you is a wilderness far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, pure, primitive and mysterious.The wind blows over the bare rocks, singing the poetry of nature.The clouds and mist on the holy mountain behind slowly descended and merged into the round clouds.This is like the closest place to the sky.

This magnificence carries a kind of desolation, which seems to wash the soul.

"Hey, are you also here to see the scenery?"

Someone timidly asked, Emma and Hayward turned their heads, and a girl came from the other side of the circular balcony, probably to admire the majestic holy mountain for a while.

She has a pair of lake blue eyes, and shoulder-length hair is light blond, curled slightly towards her neck.The slightly round face makes her look a bit small, only reaching the tip of Emma's nose, like a cute little girl next door.

"Yes, I was too nervous on Nidhogg's deck earlier, so I didn't get to enjoy the view of the Red Plains."

Emma gave her a friendly smile, and pointed to the red field in the distance, the red color was really eye-catching.

"Yeah, half an hour ago the fog was so thick that you couldn't see there at all. You guys came up at the right time!"

The girl's face was reddish, and her words were excited. It was obviously the first time she saw such a scene.She had already changed into her apprentice's burqa, so she should be in the same class as Emma and the others.

What blows away the fog is the cold wind blowing down from the holy mountain, carrying the chill of snow.Hayward sneezed, she was still in shorts.

"Go on, I don't want to catch a cold on the first day of school."

The girl walked down with them, chatting about what she saw on the balcony while walking, and even described a hidden cave vividly, and it was impossible to find it without looking carefully.

"I guess there must be monsters living in it! Maybe it's a giant eagle? Hippogriff? Griffin? It can't be a dragon!"

The more she talked, the more excited she became. As a fan of magical creatures, Hayward couldn't handle this topic.

"If it is a dragon, I guess it should be a brass dragon, because the lairs of green dragons and white dragons should be more secretive. It would be great if they were really brass dragons. I heard that their feathers are very beautiful, the longest It can reach two meters, and can be made into a weapon by a skilled craftsman..."

"Hey...well...we're here."

All the way down, I have reached the door of bedroom number 11, which is the room of Emma and Hayward.They pointed to their own door with embarrassment, wanting to end the conversation.

"what?"

Looking at the house number, the girl was taken aback for a moment, then clapped her hands and laughed.

"I live in this room too! Great, I was super worried before, for fear that I would sleep alone at night! We are roommates from today!"

Emma and Hayward glanced at each other. The kid didn't look bad, but he wasn't bad either.

Sitting on the bed and watching the two make the bed, the girl continued to chatter. She seemed to have endless energy and could talk non-stop.Even if you just passed three difficult exams today.

"My name is Jenny, Jenny Carlisle, and my father is a businessman from Calilia. My family was terrified when I was notified of the entrance exam. This is unprecedented in our whole family."

It turned out to be a native of Carrilia, no wonder I hadn't seen him at all during the past few days in and out of the hostel.

"My name is Emma Green, and this tomboy is Hayward." Emma introduced.

"Hayward, don't you have a last name? What a cool name, like a witcher."

Demon hunters are a very dangerous job, and are usually raised by orphans or trafficked children, so they usually have no names.As a noble blood, Hayward changed his name to this is simply outrageous.

"Right! Sooner or later, I will become the top demon hunter!"

Hayward pointed to his nose and said proudly.She glanced at Emma by the way, as if to show off Jenny's affirmation of her name.

"You can tell me what you need to buy in the city in the future, and I can ask my father to help you buy it. The college will go to Calilia once a week to purchase daily necessities, as long as the things are delivered to the designated place on time."

"Speaking of which, will our luggage be delivered today?"

Emma suddenly remembered an important question, maybe there is no book to read tonight.
