The days of learning black magic in another world

Rhodes College is similar to Ren Yuan's imagination, with a classical main building, a green pasture, and a strict gate. He walked around the gate for a long time before finding the "guard room".

The "guard" is a middle-aged man lazily reading the newspaper. Before Ren Yuan approached the "guard room", the other party vigilantly looked in his direction. He didn't know whether he heard Ren Yuan's footsteps or smelled poverty. .

He pushed open the small door and shouted disgustedly like expelling a puppy: "Go, go, go, stay away, this is not a place for you!"

Ren Yuan looked at him with black and white eyes, and said firmly: "I'm here to go to school."

The doorman was indeed confused by his eyes and tone for a moment, but then he laughed: "What nonsense are you talking about! This is Rhodes College! How can you come from such a poor boy with no name and no surname!"

Ren Yuan: "When Rhodes College was established, it was just for poor boys like me to come here without a name or surname?"

The other party was choked by him, as if he really remembered the great wish of the late Earl Rhodes.

Ren Yuan: "What's more, I brought twenty silver coins."

The guard frowned tightly, blushing, panting heavily: "How can you have twenty silver coins? You! Did you steal some nobleman?! Okay, you little thief! Let me catch you Here we go!"

Ren Yuan showed just the right amount of humiliation and fear, and lowered his eyelids a little bit, showing a bit of sadness: "This is left to me by my deceased grandmother. She used to hate my mother and my father for running away, so she didn't hear about the three of us." Don’t ask, but my parents have gone to see God together. I didn’t know that I had a grandmother, but before she left, she asked someone to bring me a message and these twenty silver coins, saying that she had forgiven me My mother is dead, she regrets not being able to teach me personally, let me find a place to learn how to read, don't lose her face..."

Ren Yuan's weeping posture is too confusing and touching. He used to rely on this kind of appeal to capture the hearts of the audience.

But what really made the doorman loose was not how touching his story or demeanor was, but the image of the "grandmother" brought out in his words, which sounded like a typical noble old lady, who looked like the poor woman in front of her. The kid can make it up casually, not to mention, it's true... the poor ghosts who live in the slums like the sewers, who suddenly encounter a windfall, would want to go to the public school to study-twenty silver dollars, enough for ordinary people to eat for several years White bread, how could it be used for a year's tuition... It is true that someone must be pointing behind his back.

And such a noble old lady means that this kid probably has a complicated background behind him. It's one thing for noble gentlemen to get involved in their families, but a person like him can't afford to offend anyone.

After some hesitation, the guard still chose to report the situation, and the news spread to the school directors layer by layer. The school managers looked at each other in blank dismay. It was the first time such a strange thing had happened to the public school since its establishment decades ago. In the silence, it was the headmaster of this year who stood up and set the tone: "Since he offered the money, we have no reason to reject it, Earl Rhodes must be very pleased to see him in heaven. .”

Relieved to be a ghost, the other school managers complained in their hearts, but nodded in unison on their faces.

So the matter was settled.

Ren Yuan, who was about to fall asleep, waited at the door to welcome his life teacher—a lady with a straight face.

"name."

Ren Yuan was in a daze for a moment before uttering the real name of this body: "Riemann, my name is Riemann."

The lady glanced at him indifferently, wrote down his name in the small notebook she carried, and spit out coldly: "The school uniform with your name embroidered on it will be delivered to your dormitory tonight, now I will take you there Dormitory, wash your dirty body."

Riemann showed the most sincere smile these days, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of joy, and the joy could not be concealed in his voice: "Thank you!"

He followed the lady through the green grassland, and entered the building that looked like a simple castle along a circle of stone steps. On the long, curved and stretching stone steps, only the wall A small window accidentally pierced through the body can leak some sunlight, but because the window is too small, the city rarely has direct, bright sunshine, and this journey still looks a bit gloomy and gloomy, but Riemann I think this is really the brightest path he has ever traveled.

But the biggest impact is the dormitory itself.

When Rhodes College was first built, the decorations were actually relatively simple. After all, the original target was the common people, but after receiving the noble children of this session, there are always some who can't stand this poor style, and let the family sponsor it. Renovating the dormitory, after so many renovations, the dormitory of Rhodes College is no longer the original appearance, but the utmost luxury and comfort.

The plush dark carpet, the bright red tapestry, the fireplace that is still burning even if there is no one there, the smooth silk and satin on the soft big bed, the whole dormitory is full of shimmering colors Sparkling dark.

"Go and wash yourself." The serious lady pointed in the direction of the bathroom, just moved her right hand, and wanted to give him the temporary school uniform without words in her arms, but when she saw the other party's dark hands, she couldn't help it. Stopping again, she took two steps forward to open the copper-plated, heavy bathroom door, hung the temporary school uniform in her hand on the towel rack, pointed to the soap next to the sink, and said with a frown : "Don't forget to use soap."

Riemann almost exhausted all his rationality as an adult (formerly) so as not to plunge into the pool that now looks full of temptation.

He thanked the lady briefly, and after she closed the door, he quickly took off the clothes he had been wearing for several years, briefly tested the temperature of the water, and then started to punch his head.

The water flowed down from his strands of hair, mixed with black and brown sludge, which flowed into the sewer. He picked up the soap and wiped his face vigorously. In an instant, his face was "clear in black and white." "Get up.

He suspected that he had used up half a bar of soap and a ton of water before washing himself cleanly. Under the steaming heat, his thin and pale face seemed to be a little red at night. He looked in the mirror and saw himself clearly for the first time. What does the body look like.

In the mirror, a boy with black hair and black pupils was looking back at him. His eyes were a little cold, not at all like a commoner boy of his age. He was very thin, his cheeks were sunken, but it also made those eyes even more Clear black and white, brighter.

After drying his hair with a towel, he put on his school uniform and walked out. Rhodes School's school uniform is a brown suit, shirt, tie and striped jacket. Riemann was relieved in his heart. Fortunately, it is not difficult to wear clothes.

He pushed open the door, and the life teacher lady was frowning impatiently. When she saw him coming out, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes—is it true that people rely on clothes?This poor boy actually looked decent in the Rhodes School uniform. What's even more rare is that he didn't flinch in his eyes, and there was nothing shy about his body. He put on this suit very calmly, without looking carefully I really thought it was some noble young master, which saved her a lot of trouble, and didn't have to spend too much effort to correct the other party's demeanor.

"Ma'am?" Seeing that the other party hadn't spoken for a long time, Riemann had to shout in a low voice.

Ms. Life Teacher coughed lightly and regained her expressionless face. She coldly began to tell Riemann about the daily life of a first-year public school student like reciting school discipline and rules.

"Wake up at seven o'clock in the morning and take a shower. Breakfast will be provided in the auditorium at 07:30. You need to arrive at the classroom for the morning class at eight o'clock, and then go back to the auditorium for dinner at eleven o'clock. This is your class schedule...I just say it once, please be careful In mind."

"Old Ulang on Monday morning, Theology in the afternoon, Mathematics in the morning on Tuesday, Sini in the afternoon, History in the morning on Wednesday, Equestrian in the afternoon..."

She reported a string of class names like a string of beads, and Riemann quickly outlined a common curriculum pattern in her mind and filled them in one by one.

"...Then there are their corresponding classrooms. The ancient Ulang language is on the second floor of the west wing of the auditorium. Go up the stairs and turn right to the third classroom. The person who will teach you the ancient Ulang language course is a former professor from Frode University. The most famous living ancient Ulang... The classroom of theology class is on the top floor of the auditorium, and you will be taught by Pastor Raymond... The classroom of the mathematics class is located in the east wing of the auditorium, and you will be taught..."

After reciting the timetable, she began to recite the school discipline and rules mechanically and flatly. Riemann couldn't help wondering, if the person standing here is really a child, can he really remember this bunch of things?

"The above are the rules that you need to keep in mind as a student of Rhodes College. Now that you have become a member of Rhodes College, you should always demand yourself by the standards of a Rhodes College student."

Just as she was about to continue, there was a sharp teenager's voice outside the door, which seemed to be complaining loudly. After a heavy "squeak——ah——" followed by a "boom", the door of Riemann's dormitory was slammed Pushing it away, an angry little fat man walked in, followed by a submissive skinny boy.

Riemann took a closer look and suddenly felt a little familiar.

Isn't this little fat man... his first target?
