Chapter 313

After hearing this, the teacher in black dress didn't feel surprised. He casually went to the fireplace, picked up the teapot, poured hot black tea into his cup, then returned to his seat, blew the cup slightly, took a sip, and then put down the cup.

"It's such a big deal now that I won't even reply to you." The teacher said again, but it didn't seem to be really angry, on the contrary, it was like a joke between friends.

"No, it's just that it's a little difficult to explain, Berg."

"Tell me about it, Raleigh. I'm almost finished with my report here. Anyway, there's no class tomorrow. Why don't you have a drink tonight?"

Holding the teacup, the teacher blew the teacup, took another sip, and then said slowly.

"This child is different from others. I can patiently help the noble lady in our country to guide and answer questions and so on. If I show kindness to this child, she may be regarded as pitiful or compassionate, which stimulates her self-esteem. "

"That's true. As a Viscount of the Empire, you can easily be understood as that by this girl from black rock."

"Yes, on the surface, I said that I was punishing her. On the contrary, I could let her hold her breath and concentrate on chewing the thick courseware“

"Aren't you afraid to let her down and give up?" The man in the white shirt finished writing, pushed down his glasses, then went to the fireplace and poured himself a pot of hot tea.

"No, those as like as two peas," she said. "She is from a hard mountain, and she is not the same as a child who is a noble family." Raleigh said firmly.

"Besides, no, you're still there. If you can't, let you sing red face and play good. Isn't that how hypocritical you are? " Raleigh, in his black dress, continued.

"Ha ha ha, is that still you? Raleigh. I can't see why Ming Ming was a playboy in those days, and now he is so kind and dedicated. " He came over laughing, leaned against the windowsill, looked at his old friend and said with a smile.

"I'm still me. I still like beautiful girls. Look at those stupid girls. I don't care about them?"

"Now let's talk about it. I know it." The teacher's voice in white shirt became steady gradually.

"You've been single for so many years, but you still can't let go of the old Sailian. Otherwise, you won't be a good viscount and come here to teach."

"Forget it. Let's go and have a drink in the West tonight. It's my treat."

"OK, you can't miss a treat. I'm not as rich as you are. Those guys in robes sell expensive wine."

"Ha ha, didn't you look down on those students who went to the church in those years? Now you regret and envy them."

As it gets dark, the two middle-aged teachers close the door of their office and walk down the mountain. Under the light yellow street lights, several magic locomotives stop by the side of the road to pick up the students and teachers after school.

------------------

Tower college in the north, 407 eagle beak laboratory building.

There is a bright moon floating in the sky. The silver moonlight shines on the granite exterior wall, which is a little chilly. Most of the lights in the experimental building go out, but only a few laboratories are still lit.

Jake is wearing an ultramarine robe belonging to the magic sequence. Standing beside the experimental platform, he carefully assembles some metal components. In the middle of the experiment, he constantly checks whether the inscriptions are connected. Occasionally, he uses magic to charge for experiments.

He is the only one in the quiet laboratory. Other students have already gone back. Fortunately, the school laboratory will not close all night. Just deal with the scene before leaving and lock the door.

As the last screw is tightened, a half meter wide silver device is constructed, in which the main body is a transverse cylindrical type, and there are thin pipes and gear transmission mechanism beside it. It looks like a magic power furnace.

He mixed the red and black powder, rolled it up with a piece of paper, tilted it slightly, poured it into one of the round holes carefully, and then added the blue lubricating liquid on the other side.

Then he cleaned the table. First, he raised a light blue barrier around the mechanism. Then he carefully shook the rocker. As a spark flashed, a roar and explosion sounded in the mechanism. The whole mechanism also vibrated slightly, and then there was the sound of fan blades turning inside. Hearing this sweet voice, Jack's heart also felt a burst of excitement.

Unfortunately, it didn't last long. Maybe the pressure was too strong, or maybe the design was defective. A strong light flashed, and then a flame exploded. The air wave, heat and broken metal chips exploded inside the barrier.

Fortunately, Jack's quick response and emergency reinforcement of the barrier prevented the explosion inside from damaging other instruments in the laboratory.

After a while, as the flames died down, he touched the barrier. Then the smell of scorch and metal ran into his nose, forcing him to step back and open the window for ventilation.

The previous test device has become a fragment, nearly half of the main body is broken and scattered, revealing the gear and transmission structure, and the silver white metal is covered with burnt black and fracture.

Still failed? Although he was a little prepared, Jack felt empty in his heart. Some of them hung down their hands and looked at the things he had spent a lot of credits and savings to do. They were scrapped in a flash, but some of them were unacceptable.

He is a third year student of gaota college. He has been repeated for two years. If he can't be promoted this year, he will have to leave ermenas by the end of the year. This is also the reason why he has worked so hard since last year. However, he is not a very talented person. He is not extremely intelligent, and he has no family background or connections. He can only rely on himself.

Maybe I just don't have talent.

Jack found a place to sit down, staring at the fragments under the light, in the shadow of his face can not see any expression, only a black shadow.

Why? I've tried so hard.

After more than five years in ermenas, I still stay in series 5 and can't be saved. I haven't won any place in all kinds of competitions and activities.

Looking back on his high spirited and ambitious when he first entered the school, he only felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

As a student of magic sequence, he is really good at alchemy and machinery, but this is the world. Not only you are moving forward, but the people around you are also moving forward. If you can't compete for the top, you can only become a mediocre person who nobody cares about.

Jack spent no less energy and painstaking effort on all kinds of experiments and research than those at the forefront of the grade, even more.

But I'm sorry, it seems that the study of this kind of thing can't be decided by effort. Maybe it depends more on luck and talent.

Exploring in the unknown dark areas, who will know whether their direction is right? Often, an excellent achievement appears, surrounded by countless failures, they are not known or cared about.

I don't know when, eyes gradually wet up, Jack will curl himself in the corner, eyes looking at the fragments under the light, vision gradually blurred.

Can I just end my studies so mediocre?

I'm not willing to see such a wonderful world.

Those brilliant talents, I also want to stand with them, even if only once.

With his hands tightly clenched and his voice choked, Jack slowly lowered his head and did not dare to look at the light again. In the dark, his blue robe was stained with a few drops of wet liquid.

Over the years, he tried his best to improve his strength and study those obscure technologies in order to find a blooming point.

Unfortunately, it's just a dream.

The laboratory is silent, the only light is dim, but the person sitting in the corner is still motionless, just sitting there quietly, slowly watching it go out.

...

...

...

The light went out.

Moonlight through the curtains, the interior halo dyed dark blue incomparable.

A vague figure gradually appeared in the laboratory, as if she had been standing there for a long time.
