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

She casually photographed a professor with her eyes closed, then opened her eyes and handed the dish to the professor who looked at her in surprise. She was stuck for a moment and didn't know what to say.

So embarrassing, so embarrassing, so embarrassing, so embarrassing, whatever I should say, it’s so embarrassing, ahhhhhhhhhh——

The little old professor with gray hair and beard took the initiative to take the plate, picked up a fork, tasted it, and patted her unbandaged shoulder kindly.

"What a good boy. His skills are really good. Hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm getting older. I can't help being sad or happy. I'm going to turn into an old man like a coffin. Hahahahahaha."

The cheerful little old man stood up with the dishes and said goodbye to his friends: "I'm going to the table with the dishes. You can continue to wait, hahaha - today's students are well-behaved and know how to respect the elderly and love the young..."

At a loss, Aecilia blushed and fled the scene with her head in her arms. On the way, she heard the professors whispering:

"The eggplant just now was full of salt. It was so salty that I almost shed tears... I gave you credit with your eyes closed, ugh. It's not easy for that child to grow up so smoothly."

"If there is salt to eat, you can enjoy it secretly. My plate is just water bean sprouts. The bean sprouts are not yet ripe. The last time I acted so truly and emotionally was when I was in general school and told the teacher that my sister had eaten my homework. …”

"My student was presented with a dark lump of something unknown. We both laughed at each other for a long time. I gave him credit without eating...otherwise? He even broke one of his legs."

"Why hasn't your bad temper come down yet? The soup is almost cold."

"He has three classes tomorrow, and he won't be able to finish preparing for tonight's classes~ Do you expect him to come down before twelve o'clock?"

"Where's the little girl Albinia? She doesn't have class tomorrow."

"I'm taking care of the students. Are you out of your mind? If you can't do it, retire. Your office has good lighting, so give it to me."

"I think your brain is just rusty. You want to stretch your old bones?"

……

"Fortunately, that boy Ernest is sensible and asked the student union to cook the soup, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to finish the food..."

"So where did the little guy go? I didn't seem to see him tonight. He invited us to do activities before and he politely said hello. It was so cute. I even took photos and posted them on the forum. Those are the The things the students say are quite strange, and they always like to imitate the sounds of snakes."

"...Old man, you should prepare more lessons and write a suicide note, and stay out of the affairs of young people."

"My suicide note has been updated to version 258."

"It seems that a copy was almost destroyed by a student. The little guy must be busy processing it at the moment."

"Huh? Which student can break through the protective mechanisms I carefully installed?"

"I heard he's a new student. Alas, us old guys are still old. Times are different."

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? I'm only over 200 years old. If I listen to you 900-year-olds nagging me for a long time, my mentality will get old!"

"Aren't you the one who refused to go to the young people's table?"

"Hey, who remembers that when little Smith first came here, he was still an intern? How well-behaved he was. He was beaten on the back when asked to pour water. Now he only catches and scolds us old guys..."

"My human form is a little uncomfortable. Why is the tail getting looser and looser?"

"Did you recite the spell backwards?"

"Did the child at home put a reverse spell on your back again?"

"A bunch of idiots, he held the staff backwards."

"Oh, yes, yes, young people have better discernment."

"Hey, I'm here! The person you're talking to is eight hundred and ninety years old! He's only two years younger than you!"

"Oh, oh, oh, I can't hear you clearly now that I'm old. Old guy, what did you just say?"

...Seeing that the professors were about to start a fight, Aecilia rushed out of the scene to avoid being hurt.

She had an impression of the professor who called himself "the old man". When he was giving a practical class to the class next door, he showed the students how to break the enemy's hands and feet while fighting. Professor Albinia, who was always gentle enough to turn into water, scolded her at the top of her voice. For several hours, the wails of the dozen "exemplified" students could be heard even in the Potions Laboratory building.

——The follow-up is that all the students in the next class learned to break the enemy's hands and feet while fighting when their lives were in danger.

The edge corner where the professors were located was far away from the noisy crowd in the square. A little further away from them, St. Ferguson College finally became silent at night, with only the biting cold wind passing through the college, roaring in all directions.

Walking slowly to the edge of the square, the lights here are far less bright than in the center of the square. The surroundings are dark, but only a tall building in the distance is densely lit with lights in the silent night.

The large characters "Professor Office Building" are arranged vertically on the side of the building, emitting a luminous glow in the dark.

Compared with other buildings that had fallen silent at night, the office building with most windows still lit was alive and vibrant in the night breeze, reminding her of a sentence that often appeared in general school literature textbooks:

"The bright light is like a lighthouse on the sea, like the North Star in the night sky, guiding us in the direction..."

Aecilia ran back to the reassuring tent area, and a message alert came from the smart network. It was a message sent to her by the official backstage of the academy:

“First-year student Ecelia Green:

"Congratulations on successfully completing the task in this semester's credit event "Cooking with Love" and receiving the task reward 'Credit x1';

"You have obtained a total of 'credits

The opening of the last water curtain in the central square made the professors and students standing around become restless.

The water curtain dissipated, and Ernest, who was covered in blood, walked out holding a girl with curly blond hair and a young body. Lucius, who had been waiting for a long time and was so anxious that his head was about to smoke, held a hand with the family crest printed on it. The potion rushed up and handed it to Ernest. Ernest poured the potion to the girl in his arms without blinking an eye. Lucius stepped forward to pick up the girl and walked towards Ernest in the blind corner of everyone's sight. He quickly took a black pill into his palm.

The pill melted quickly as soon as it touched Ernest's palm. Lucius slowed down the movement of picking up the person until the weight on his palm gradually lightened. He slowly moved back and looked up. Ernest nodded to his brother who was standing still, and Lucius calmly hugged Angelia and left.

Ernest was left alone in the center of everyone's attention.

His voice was steady, and his tone was as cold as ever before he spoke slowly:

"The report on the dungeon collapse incident will be given in half an hour. Madam Dean, please use the orange level emergency meeting authority later."

A girl with long black hair and curled hair who had been standing quietly aside from the beginning to the end blinked her black eyelashes and nodded. Under her soft young face, her voice was as cold as the polar ice:

"Agree to apply for permission."
