Can the sadness that magic cannot take away be offset by love?

Aecilia had a great time playing catch. Lucius added a few fireballs to her from time to time. Aecilia caught the foam balls with a cold face and watered the fireballs. Albinia frequently looked at her. They looked over, and it was Angelia who finally stopped Lucius.

"Go and take the test quickly. If you continue to play, the professor will be here soon."

Lucius was dragged by Angelia to his instrument for a test. The bored Aecilia quickly printed out her report card and wandered around the classroom.

"Esilia."

Professor Albinia stretched out the vine and gently pulled her to his side.

"You've finished the test, why don't you go help the classmates over there?"

She pointed a direction to the idle Aecilia.

Of course, Aecilia obediently agreed.

The professor who looked weak smiled slightly and continued to instruct the students around him.

Soon, Angelia and Lucius also joined the ranks of teaching assistants. Further away, Ryland was also conscientiously holding the hands of two classmates for friendly communication.

"The classroom atmosphere with little Daisy is particularly harmonious."

The black cat holding a small dried fish in the corridor of the teaching building shook its tail tied with a red bow and said.

Then, it was picked up by a pair of white and slender hands from behind.

"The dean is also working hard today."

A lazy and magnetic female voice echoed gently in Black Cat's ears.

Then, the person holding it gently kissed the black cat's furry head.

After the test, there were still ten minutes left in class. Professor Albinia gathered the students together. The vines on her fingertips circled around and around in boredom as she spoke.

"You can get different varieties of plants by combining different wood elements. Now I will show you the list of element combinations of roses, jasmine and carnations. Interested students can take photos and record them by themselves. Students who like other plants can come after class. The lab itself explores other plant compositions.

"You need to pay attention when casting the spell. For elements that conflict with the components of the vine, additional elements with neutralizing effect must be added...Esilia-san, do you have any questions?"

Aecilia put down the hand she just raised and said innocently: "Professor, your vines are wrapped around my neck. I'm worried that there will be a teaching accident soon."

She was now in the middle and back row of the student group. Upon hearing this, the classmates standing in front of her turned sideways to look at her and made way for the professor.

The vines extending from Professor Albinia's fingertips first wrapped around her ankles, then climbed to her thighs and waist, and now the tip of the vines was gently touching her neck, which was frightening to see.

At the same time, several other voices sounded:

"Professor, the hem of my school uniform is almost torn by it."

"Professor! My finger was pricked and bleeding..."

"And my cookie got crushed!"

Albinia blinked and patted the vine gently with her other hand. Several branch vines separated from the main vine shrank back, and the vines on her hand also quickly disappeared. .

"Ah... I'm so sorry. I forgot to take them out for a walk this morning. Injured classmates, please come to me. Also, don't eat cookies in class from now on. It's easy to forget to wipe off the cookie crumbs from the corners of your mouth."

Low laughter sounded from all over the crowd. The students who came to class with biscuits opened their mouths and said "ah", took out their handkerchiefs and wiped them on their mouths.

Then the back of his hand was patted by a few vegetable leaves that often appeared in the canteen. The vegetable leaves were also wrapped with a crooked wet tissue. It looked like it was difficult to pull them out of the package.

Albinia apologized again, but did not stop Nanoha's behavior.

"...It's the vegetables I grow in the yard. I forgot to water them this morning. Hmm...it seems like I forgot to close the window or the door to the living room."

Many students froze in place after hearing this, and Aecilia and Angelia looked at each other.

Aecilia asked her quietly: "Is wood magic so magical?"

Angelia replied in confusion: "I don't know, I usually only use them to draw... I'll try growing some vegetables when I go back to the dormitory?"

Aecilia: "...You can plant it on the balcony, where the light is good."

Albinia added softly: "Some vegetables are suitable for planting in a cooler place. You can check it on the Internet before buying seeds."

Angelia nodded vaguely.

Aecilia: "...the sink also has some space."

Albinia: "There are also some suitable for dry environments..."

Aecilia wisely chose to resist the urge to continue making suggestions.

Lucius stared blankly as he repeatedly summoned and extinguished the flames in his palms.

Leland reminded him: "Don't burn the vegetables grown by the professor."

Lucius turned his head and looked directly at Ryland without saying a word.

Ryland: "...I'm sorry? Did I say something wrong somewhere?"

Lucius: "No."

……

The chaotic scene was quickly cleared up. Albinia weaved a swaying wicker chair in mid-air. While receiving the "cradle-rocking service" from the vines, she watched her students try to drive out of the vines below. flower.

At the end of class, she was still sitting in the rocking chair and announced the end of the class with a faint smile. At the end, she said:

"There are bound to be many conflicts between fire magic and wood magic, but understanding and studying one's own weaknesses is an inevitable topic in magic learning. I hope that students who are good at fire magic can have the courage to take the wood magic class. , try boldly, and hope that students can help each other and try their best to solve difficulties for other students in their areas of expertise."

Before Aecilia took Angelia's hand and left the classroom, she heard a gentle whimper coming from the corner of the classroom.

She saw the reflection of the crying classmate from the window.

She was the girl who shed tears for some reason at the beginning of class and was given a rose by Professor Albinia.

At this time, the girl was holding the rose tightly in her hand, and the tissue she was holding to wipe her tears had disappeared.

Angelia stopped and Aecilia patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, her friends are around. Look ahead, Lucius is waiting for you."

she whispered.

Lucius, who was walking in front of them, stopped at the end of the corridor with his head lowered, wiping his staff.

Angelia smiled.

"Esilia, can I give you a rose later?"

Aecilia clearly saw Lucius froze in front of him.

She curled her lips.

"Okay, I'd like a big bunch if that's okay."

And Angelia, who was unaware, smiled so much that her eyes almost turned into crescents.

"I can try different colors for you."

Aecilia happily listened to the "clang" sound of the staff falling to the ground from the end of the corridor.
