Candy Wizard and Travel

Maybe this really is a test.

Irena's mood brightened, she stood up and bowed deeply: "Thank you very much!"

"No, it's just a few words. It's good to see you happy. Frankly speaking, you were so depressed with your head down on the street before that I didn't even dare to speak first."

The other person also smiled, feeling happy for her.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Goodbye! Are you still here these days? Be sure to tell me those stories when we meet next time!"

The lively little girl turned back in three steps, and her beautiful gray color gradually disappeared into the crowd.

Xi Di kept her warm smile and asked for another cup of coffee after she left.

In fact, when he heard the girl's description, his mood could simply be described as, "Is there such a thing? I'll beat her up."

But when I thought about it carefully, the description didn't match up. Even if the enemy wanted to destroy her, he wouldn't stop teaching magic. Considering the age of the girl, I came up with the idea of ​​testing it.

Xidi had a pretty good impression of that girl. The child named Irena was a bit arrogant, but just enough to make people feel cute. She couldn't even be called smug, let alone arrogant. .

He just heard people passing by discuss that Irena is indeed the most famous genius girl in this country, breaking the record of the youngest witch trainee in this country. In this peaceful country, that child's masochistic efforts and isolation, It's always uncomfortable.

So what are you trying to do?

Probably so.

Xidi still can't understand why some people would be jealous or even hate other people's efforts.

In short, I hope Irena can communicate with the teacher smoothly.

Well, it shouldn't be a problem if you explain it. If the wisdom of a witch can't even distinguish a child's words... I suggest you go back to the drawing board and remake it.

When the coffee came, Hidi stroked the coffee cup and began to think about her own things.

It has been two years since he traveled. This year he is 16 years old. In some countries, it is the age to consider the name of a child.

He had to admit that in the past two years, he had gained a lot, interacted with many people, and learned a lot. The tuition fee was not less, but it was within the range he could bear.

After all, with his strength, there is always a way to get back the tuition fees he doesn't want to pay.

His cognition has changed a lot in the past two years, and he has no plans to stop traveling yet, but he has been feeling a little tired recently and is planning to rest for a while, so he returned to Wangli Celestilia.

Then I got the news that the teacher was out.

I don’t know the specific location or what to do. The only one who knew about it, Teacher Connie, was also tight-lipped. She only said that Teacher Fran was going to tell him personally when they met next time. The witch’s speaking skills were not as good as Teacher Fran’s. In the end, based on the intelligence obtained, he only analyzed the inland area here, and he had already visited more than a dozen countries.

But Xidi was not in a hurry. He was confident enough to meet the teacher, and even the process of searching was a pleasant relaxation.

After drinking coffee, Xidi noticed that the sky here was a little dark, but in the distance it was still sunny, probably with showers. It was also raining the last time I came to this country. What a wonderful fate.

"Well, let's put down our luggage at the hotel and take a walk in the rain. The sun rises in the east and rains in the west..."

He was rarely interested.

……

The mood was so light, even the road back had to be so wide, and the somewhat gloomy sky couldn't dim the girl's bright mood.

Think about it carefully, it must be like that, a test.

As long as she goes back and makes it clear, telling the teacher that she has never felt that she is great - only a little bit, and expresses her emotions directly, as a wise witch, the teacher must be able to understand, right?

In this way, you can start learning magic smoothly, right?And the respected traveler seems to want to stay here for a while. If they have some free time, they can happily chat all afternoon or all day long, listening to each other's whole story!

With his own talents, he will definitely be able to quickly learn the magic to settle down and start his own journey.

Just thinking about this, Irena couldn't help shaking her calves, and even the hair on her head stood up.

A new life is beckoning to her.

……

"--Eh?"

"Didn't you hear clearly?"

In the drizzle, the black-haired witch put on a hat. She exuded a mysterious aura and looked extremely serious. Her right eye with a tear mark stared at her, like a pool of cold spring, making people tremble.

The wand appeared in her hand and she repeated.

"I want you to duel with me."

"Just kidding?"

Irena's expression froze on her face.

She is confident that she will be at the forefront among her peers, but compared to the witch who has been on the same path for more than 20 or [-] years...it won't work. People need to be self-aware.

The other party didn't speak any more. He squinted his eyes, the wand flashed with light, and the whistling wind blade passed by.

Just like the cold wind in winter, so cold and merciless, it freezes all the heat that wants to be exhaled.

Then came gravel, thunder and fireballs.

"it is good!"

An unknown flame burned in the bottom of my heart, and the briefly soothing spring could no longer endure the heavy pressure.

"Kick you away!"

The wand appeared in her hand, and Irena pursed her lips together to avoid biting her tongue later in the battle.

Even as a trainee witch, I can use crude things like attack magic!

The dissatisfaction of the past month, the communication that she wanted to express but had no chance to express, and the anger that was finally calmed down by Xidi suddenly started a prairie fire in her heart.

She only has one thought now, even if she is bruised and bruised, she still has to give that nasty face a slap!

……

Unfortunately, even when she was extremely angry, all she could do was be extremely angry.

The wind blade was sliced ​​open, the ice spear was broken, and the thunderbolt was stopped before it could be summoned. The strong wind wrapped around her body, causing her to fly high and land on the muddy grass beside her.

The disparity in strength is so huge that it's cruel.

The whole body was probably soaked, the grass blades had opened small wounds on the face, the rainwater was itching and painful, and the smell of earth filled the nose.

It hurts, feels so uncomfortable, feels so bad... Why do I have to be beaten here?Why do such a thing?Why...why isn't her teacher as gentle and excellent as Miss Hidi?

"Ho...ho..."

There is a blockage in the throat, like a piece of hard bread has been stuffed into it. It is so choked that it hurts. I really want to cry, but I can't. I have to endure it. If I cry... I will lose.

He barely supported his body with one hand and climbed up from the muddy grass.

But the other party didn't even want to give her the time to lick her wounds. She lit the black wand in front of her eyes, and the abominable witch kept an elegant smile:

"Ah la ah la, is it over already?"

"Ho..."

Her body was trembling, and Irena desperately suppressed the impulse, pinching her thighs with her fingers.

"There's nothing special about being a top student."

Speaking so lightly, with the same tone as in the past, sounded so annoying and weird at this moment, it was almost like - playing with her.

The sour feeling spread all the way to her cheeks, and Irena knew that she could no longer control her muscles. Her eyes were sore, and her vision was blurred by the warm liquid.

Why...did she...did she do something wrong or something that made people angry?So hard working, serving this woman like a servant, obviously believing in her, obviously thinking that she would not be ostracized like her childhood playmates and those terrible witches before, obviously accepting her...

But now...but now...

His teeth bit his lip, and when the smell of blood emerged, his face relaxed due to pain, and after that, he could no longer tense up.

"Uh-huh...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The bad sounds, the bad tears, no matter how you rub your cheeks, no matter how you wipe them, they can't stop, like this damn weather!

"Haaah... I hate you! I hate everyone here! I will never... never stay here again!"

Irena was crying and choking, coughing violently from time to time, almost losing her breath.

"You or the witch here... are all the same... I hate it, I hate it the most! You don't know how hard I work, and you just despise me like everyone else! I want to leave here, and I want to find a new teacher. , a gentle and lovely traveler who listens to me and makes sweet things...a witch who is a thousand times ten thousand times better than you!"

While crying, past dissatisfaction and recent accumulated sadness poured out like a waterfall in the distance. Irena, who had always cared about other people's emotions, was completely unable to think at this moment. Her heart was trampled into thousands of pieces by the cruel reality, and trivial thoughts flowed out. Discourse.

That sincere heart weeps.

"Ehhh..."

The witch, who had been unilaterally severed from the teacher-student relationship, was stunned. She waved her hands in bewilderment, transformed into a butterfly made of ice, a crown made of weeds, and a fireball, and then came in to make faces.

And Irena was just crying, unable to see or hear clearly. She never knew that tears could flow like spring water, or had all the tears she had accumulated in the previous 14 years been used at this moment?I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear anything, my chest hurt so much, and I cried until my ribs were about to break.

I don't want to deal with that terrible woman at all.

"Those are the things you like! You have no idea what I like..."

"So... hey!"

She hugged him.

Disgusting!

"Let me go! Stop humiliating me!"

"Sorry, sorry..." she repeated her apology, "Sorry, I really went too far, Irena, please forgive me."

"Are you kidding? You've been laughing all the time! You just stopped! Let me go, that's enough. I don't want a teacher like you. You are the same as those in Roberta. I hate those witches! I hate you! Why...I obviously...just want to be acknowledged..."

"I'm sorry. It must have been hard to endure it for so long. Irene, I can't bear it anymore."

"What are you talking about!"

In her blurred vision, she tried her best to resist the other person's embrace, and vaguely saw the other person's sad face, with blue eyes staring at her.

"I'm sorry, please forgive me, and then please listen to me tell you the whole story."

The witch pursed her lips and began to tell the truth.

A month ago, she received a commission from Irena's parents.

According to them and what she learned on the streets of Roberta, Irena was an arrogant and proud little girl. Her parents, who were worried that she would make a big mistake if she continued like this, asked her to give her a difficult trial. Sharpen your spirit.

"...But after my observation, Irena is a person who has firm beliefs and can implement herself. I think no matter what kind of training you are given, you will not be able to give up your goals. Therefore, I conclude that your parents' entrustment is unnecessary. You must be able to endure failure and will not be easily beaten and heartbroken.

Later, as a teacher, I realized your problem: Irena, you are too patient.

You know that you are young and talented, and in order not to make others think that you are a bad kid, you desperately want to show your sincere and hard-working side and work hard to prove yourself.

But it's a pity that no witch wants to know you, and no matter how boring and unreasonable my requests are to you, you never refuse, right?Because you feel like you have no one else to rely on? "

Irena's body gradually returned to calm, and she began to think while resisting the hug.

The witch continued to speak with deep reflection and regret in her words.

"I think you have gone to the other extreme. I know that it is difficult to change you simply by preaching, and after leaving me and leaving your family, you may accommodate other people in your subsequent life, so you must have A deep enough impression.

I thought, if today's test is over and you haven't shown anything after I win, I can only start preaching directly, because what I did doesn't make sense at all, even if it's a small... other people will see it. No hesitation in blaming me.

But I didn’t expect you to be so uncomfortable and cry straight away. I’m sorry, because I have always ignored you in the past. You are actually a 14-year-old child. You are already great. My behavior was too harsh. I am really sorry..."

Irena's sobbing gradually stopped, and she could feel the sincere feelings from the other party's unreserved words.

"Old... teacher..."

"Ah."

The witch hugged her tightly, but this time she did not resist. She lay obediently in the arms filled with the scent of herbs, feeling the other person's caresses and whispers.

"Remember this day, little Irena, remember, don't be patient, just say no when you encounter strange things, don't force things you don't like, don't tolerate unreasonable requests, if you are used to hiding your emotions, there will always be One day you'll fall apart like you did today again."

Irena slowly widened her eyes.

That was the first time someone told her not to be patient.

She rubbed her reddish eyes and hugged the teacher hard. At this moment, she truly realized that this person was an excellent teacher with principles and excellent education.

After relaxing for a while, Irena finally calmed down and heard the other party's cautious words:

"Well, you won't really abandon the teacher and go find that 'gentle and lovely traveler who can listen to me and make sweet things', right? This person sounds a bit familiar..."

Irena couldn't help laughing.
