Candy Wizard and Travel

Oh, she forgot that some time ago, because she regretted running out of the limited bread, she ate a big meal of bread and spent it.

Looking at the five copper coins arranged on the table, the young witch fell into deep thought.

Ok……

This……

After a moment of hesitation, she raised her hand.

"Waiter, another luxurious cream bun."

"Good~"

……

"Well, this means we can only fight with our backs against the wall."

The witch wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth and quoted an Eastern allusion to express her determination to achieve success.

Now I have to go to work.

……

Teacher Pei'er whispered her witch name: Good Night Witch.

She has not yet adapted to the communication between witches, but today, as a temporary worker who has just joined the academy, she is responsible for the interview of the new teacher, so it is necessary to be more solemn.

Her colleagues are typical flighty witches with a clear lack of enthusiasm for this country and this job.

But Pei'er is different. She cherishes this job introduced by her teacher - her teacher met Connie's teacher who is now the director of the magic department of the college, so he dismissed her as a good-for-nothing disciple who was more interested in food than magic. Come to work.

Her weekly salary now is 10 gold coins, which is not as good as those chic and powerful witches, but as a job, it is rich enough. I heard that there will be additional rewards after teaching for one semester, Pei'er dare not If I think about it any more, I'm afraid I'll faint from happiness.

After receiving her first salary, Pei'er happily spent a huge amount of money - buying two hundred loaves of bread and stacking them on the bedside, which only cost two gold coins.

In those days, when she woke up to the smell of bread and realized that she would never go hungry again, Pei'er always had tears in her eyes.

The other two hundred loaves were almost finished, and she was hesitating to buy more food to pile up at home. She had been worrying about this problem all afternoon.

Anyway, exclude the bread first.

While distracted, footsteps came from behind. Because the sound of high-soled leather boots was so iconic, Pei'er immediately thought of the real owner and sat upright in shock, just like she did when she was a student facing her teacher.

"Don't be so nervous."

A woman with an elegant posture walked over, every step was graceful and precise, as if she was holding a ruler to compare. It seemed to have been integrated into the instinct. Being in the same room with such a person requires some confidence and courage.

With her well-maintained face and figure, there is no trace of someone who just became the mother of her third child a year ago. She does not hide this and appears to be more approachable.

The frost-covered witch glanced at the sky.

"It's been about half a month since I came here. How do you feel, Teacher Pei'er? You don't have to sit so straight when there are no applicants."

"Yes! Connie-sama! I feel very good! The teaching work is very relaxed (one class each in the morning and afternoon for four hours, it's heaven!), my colleagues are also very easy to get along with (they don't talk to each other), and the environment is great. I I will work here until I die!"

"Uh... Just call me Teacher Connie. Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous..."

Even Connie wasn't very good at handling such enthusiasm.

She waved her hand, hesitated, and handed over a canned drink.

Some magicians in the city invented portable packaging, which is convenient and hygienic. After thinking about it after entering the academy, Connie thought that she still had to have a good relationship with everyone. She made this choice based on the opinions of her housekeeper at home, even if it was right The taste is neither cold nor annoying. The weather is a bit hot, and she even used magic to chill it.

Anyway, let’s start with this ordinary drink.

"Eh? Can I take it?"

Ah, she forgot, this witch also likes to make tea by herself. The difference is that she will use a super large teapot and drink a handful of tea leaves for a day. To a certain extent, she is the opposite extreme of Connie herself. Send her like this The drinks seemed a bit pretentious again.

But it can't be taken back.

"Please accept it, it's me - well, it's a small gift among colleagues, because Teacher Pei'er is usually very serious and has solid basic knowledge, which is admirable."

Connie said a little stiffly, she was not good at this kind of communication.

"Thank you very much! Then I will accept it..."

Pei'er's habit was to eat when there was something available and not let them sit idle. After taking the can, she looked at it carefully and felt panicked.

It's something I don't recognize.

After a second of hesitation, out of some desire not to embarrass herself in front of her superiors, colleagues, and admirers, she raised her wand.

"laugh--"

The top of the can was completely cut off.

"Haha, it's a bit difficult to open it..."

"..."

Connie still said nothing.

"How does the drink taste?"

"great!"

"Is it the taste you like?"

"My favorite is honey lemonade, but this one is fine too, it's sweet."

It's sweet, so I like it, uh...

Teacher Connie put down her reserve a little and tried to understand the world of normal witches from the thin and weird witch in front of her.

Her growth trajectory is different from that of ordinary witches. She discovered her talent for magic when she was a child, but at that time she was obsessed with swordsmanship. Until a few years ago, magic crimes increased in the capital, and her husband, who was responsible for the city guard work, was frowning all day long. At that time, there were two The lady who is the mother of the child just tried to understand magic.

As a result, it didn't take many years for her to be known as the Frost-covered Witch, but her mentality had not changed yet, and she looked at things more from an ordinary person's perspective.

She soon discovered that the guy in front of her was indeed the opposite extreme of her. He also had no common sense, but was very knowledgeable in strange places, specifically showing why things were edible...

For now, the two of them were chatting happily.

"Ah, it's already this time. The afternoon classes are about to end. There should be no applicants at this time. Get ready to get off work, Teacher Pei'er."

"Okay, Teacher Connie."

Suddenly remembering something, Peier stood up.

"By the way, in return for the drink, if you don't mind, please accept this——"

It's a piece of bread that's a bit dry.

Connie was stunned. She was thinking about whether there was any special definition, whether it was a custom in certain areas or...

"Ahhhhh, I'm so rude!"

The other party's face became redder and redder, and she realized that this was not the case in her hometown, where people with good relationships would not give things to each other.

"Then I'll take it."

She didn't understand what was going on, but Connie quickly took it.

Anyway, take it back and put it away.

Gap: New teacher Fran

Just when the atmosphere was about to get weird, there was a knock on the door.

The soundproofing effect of the door of the temporary recruitment office is not very good, and the other party's voice can be heard.

"The guard said the recruitment starts here... Well, come on."

The two witches looked at each other. Pearl subconsciously entered working mode and sat up straight. Connie thought for a while, moved a chair and sat on the other side.

"Please come in."

"Excuse me, I'm Fran, the Stardust Witch, and I'm applying to be a teacher at your school."

The person who opened the door and walked in was a black-haired witch who looked very serious. Her slender and soft braids were tied up with a red hair tie at the middle. Her blue eyes were stern and sparkling with wisdom. In this weather, Still sticking to the traditional black shawl, tie shirt and long skirt.

With just one glance, Teacher Connie nodded secretly.

This is exactly what her ideal witch teacher looks like, much more upright than her master who loves fishing.

Teacher Pei'er shrank her head, feeling a stern temperament that was incompatible with her. She felt that she was someone who could get along well with Teacher Connie... but why did she feel so kind?

Facing the two witches' looks, the witch who was about to sleep in the park and drink water from the fountain tonight spoke with extremely firm belief.

……

It was just an interview at an ordinary college, and no polygraph test was needed. Ephlan's skills were naturally within reach.

"You will be colleagues from now on. Wang Li Celestilia welcomes you, Teacher Fran."

"Thank you."

"You are surprisingly easy to get along with. Please accept this bread——"

"Well, thank you very much."

Chewing bread, Fran, led by the two witches, toured the academy and received employee handbooks, uniforms and identity documents, as well as some other teacher benefits.

"Our Magic Department currently only has this building. The courses you are responsible for, let me see, the other teachers have already left. We can only discuss it tomorrow morning. The working hours are..."

"The college provides free teachers' dormitories. Of course, you can also choose to live outside. The college's canteen will provide food and meal vouchers can be used there."

good!No more sleeping in the open air.

Fran breathed a sigh of relief, and even her posture became more relaxed.

Pei'er, who was following behind, was in a daze for a moment. She looked at the new colleague and felt a little more friendly.

Connie was a conscientious witch and walked through most of the buildings in the college to the dormitory.

"That's it for today. I look forward to working with you in the future."

"Thank you both, I'm looking forward to it too."

The black-haired witch stood up straight and bowed slightly in thanks.

Connie and Pearl waved in return. They had just learned that this witch would live here for a long time and had a very responsible and friendly personality.

We'll probably spend a lot of time together in the future.

……

The teachers in the academy each have their own strengths. Teacher Pei'er has a solid foundation, and Teacher Connie is outstanding in elemental magic. Some of the mobile witches specialize in potions, some are good at theory, and some are knowledgeable.

Fran knows a little bit.

The Stardust Witch's master is the Gray Witch, and the Gray Witch's teacher is the White Witch. There seem to be one or two witches whose names are unknown before that. In other words, she is the fifth generation, even in the Clock Tower... …

Well, in short, the education she received was relatively comprehensive and systematic. The existing textbooks in the college seemed to her a bit scattered. But after all, she had just joined the job. She decided to tactfully communicate with that serious and elegant woman after some time. Mention it.

The academy was full of half-baked witches in her opinion - witches couldn't be called witches, and travelers couldn't be called travelers. Well, that was a bit too much. They were just ordinary people. She had to admit that passing the apprenticeship exam was a matter of luck. It's quite important, so there's no need to question why that kind of person can be a witch.

The only person around who made Fran treat her differently was Teacher Pearl, the Good Night Witch. From her, she could feel her deep passion and fanatical love for certain things - usually food.

More than [-]% of this teacher's salary is sent back to his hometown, and most of the rest is spent on food. In other aspects, his life is so simple that he doesn't look like a witch.

You can often hear complaints about certain stores and food recommendations from her, but Fran is devoted to bread and will never get tired of eating it for another ten years.

……

Until many years later, Teacher Pei'er would sometimes question her own memory. Was the serious witch she first met really the current teacher Fran?

First grade.

"Good morning, Teacher Fran, it's still so early today."

"I forgot to prepare lessons yesterday, so I came a little early."

With her back as straight as a small tree, the black-haired witch held the textbook and outlined the key points.

"After all, education is a serious matter and you must be responsible for the students. This is the teacher's responsibility."

"Eh……"

What a dedicated witch.

……

second grade.

"Has Teacher Fran been a little late lately?"
