"I'm not suitable for learning swordsmanship, am I?" Xia Yi wanted to shirk it.
But this time, Hill was particularly persistent. She stood up and walked in front of Xia Yi. "Ms. Xia Yi, I don't think so. I think other objective conditions are not obstacles to becoming an excellent swordsman. I have always adhered to this point. The most important thing in swordsmanship is the heart."
it is good!
You said it very well, Hill. You are worthy of being my apprentice!
Xia Yi was very pleased in her heart that Hill also showed the demeanor of a teacher and was no longer just the little follower he used to be.
However, there is no way to directly express praise and approval, which is equivalent to agreeing to the request.
She really didn't want to be Hill's disciple. If her occupational disease struck one day and she couldn't help pointing fingers at Hill, she would probably expose herself, and Hill would soon realize that his teacher had turned into a loli.
Then...
Xia Yi didn’t dare to think about it!
My authority as a teacher is gone!
"Thank you Teacher Hill for your encouragement, but learning magic is my pursuit. Swordsmanship is just my hobby now." Xia Yi looked away.
"But you are really talented, Ms. Xia Yi. You are the most talented student I have ever seen. I want to... keep you by my side and treat you well."
Hill suddenly used this statement seriously, which made Xia Yi's heart jump. Hill, do you want to be a traitor to your master? !
"Ms. Xia Yi, I am very serious. Can you tell me your response from the bottom of your heart?" Hill moved closer to Xia Yi.
"I……"
27 Keep the original intention (more updates with monthly tickets)
Xia Yi hesitated.
She didn't quite understand why Hill was so obsessed with her.
Could it be that he really realized that his true identity is the human swordsman?
……No.
This shouldn't be the reason.
If he really guessed my identity, why would he beat around the bush and invite me to the swordsmanship department of Laurel Academy?
It must be the laning phase.
Xia Yi felt that it was more of a problem on another level.
The students that Wright had recruited in the past never cared about their background or status. Daniel was a good example.
What the human swordmaster values most is talent.
Perhaps it was this point that influenced Hill, his student.
She has become a teacher now, and when she sees a talented student, she naturally wants to recruit him.
"I want to hear your answer in person, Miss Xia Yi." Hill invited sincerely.
Or... do you agree?
Xia Yi thought that although there might be a risk of being discovered if she stayed with Hill, it would always be more comfortable to be with someone familiar.
Besides, as long as I could get into Laurel College, it didn't matter what form it took.
Whether it is swordsmanship or magic, as long as he becomes a student of Laurel Academy, Xia Lulu did not specify whether he should enter the swordsmanship department or the magic department.
Xia Yi thought it over, raised her head and looked at Hill.
Hill is looking forward to it.
So, Xia Yi said:
"No!"
"What?" Hill was stunned.
"Thank you Mr. Hill for giving me this opportunity, but I still have to pass the magic exam and learn magic."
"Are you rejecting me?"
Hill was puzzled.
Because the conditions she offered were so tempting, any other student would be tempted.
But the barrier was broken in Xia Yi's body.
"There's no special reason, because I want to learn magic!" Xia Yi said firmly.
snort!
How could I be easily swayed by just a few words from others?
You know, I am the human swordsman who has always kept my original aspiration in mind. No one else can make me back down from the things I have decided!
I said I wanted to enter the magic department, so I entered the magic department!
"Teacher Hill, swordsmanship is just my hobby. Now I think learning magic is more important." Xia Yi explained.
Hill was silent. She felt that Xia Yi's reply was also very serious.
She still didn't want to give up.
"Ms. Xia Yi, I want to ask, what is your dream?"
"my dream?"
Xia Yi was stunned because she didn't expect Hill to suddenly ask this question.
Have you always been with Xia Lulu?
…No no no!!
The moment this thought came to her mind, Xia Yi quickly shook her head.
How is this possible? Xia Lulu is my mortal enemy.
Think about it calmly. What you want now is...
right!
My original intention!
I want to defeat Xia Lulu, overcome failure and enter a better realm.
Xia Lulu is very strong. To defeat her in all aspects, one cannot just rely on swordsmanship, but also other aspects, such as what Xia Lulu is best at - magic!
No wonder, I understand.
Xia Yi understood why she was so obsessed with magic now. It must be to prepare to defeat Xia Lulu and understand her opponent, so she had to learn magic well. It was not for any other reason.
It’s really me, I never forget my original intention!
Xia Yi held her little rice cake and confidently announced: "My dream is to become a great magician!!"
Hill was very disappointed when he heard this answer, but he found that Xia Yi's expression was genuine and did not seem like a fake to please him.
Then there is no other way.
There have been precedents of this kind.
There was a student who entered Laurel College in the past. He had a special talent in fighting. The senior teacher of the combat department determined at first sight that he would become the next generation of martial arts saint.
But the subject that the college student applied for was... Archaeology.
Although the combat department promised the student many generous treatments, key training programs, and educational resources, the student still remained steadfast in becoming an archaeology student and finally graduated successfully.
"Teacher Hill, can you help me with the problem of filling in the wrong subjects on the form?" Xia Yi asked.
"...Ms. Xia Yi, since this is your wish, I will respect your choice. I will help you with this matter," Hill emphasized, "But if you change your mind, you must come to me, okay?!"
"Okay, thank you."
Xia Yi nodded. It seemed that Hill still didn't want to give up.
……
With Hill's help, Xia Yi filled out another form, and this time the subject she applied for was changed to magic.
Since Hill's words were very effective, the relevant staff immediately went to handle the matter. Xia Yi did not have to wait long before being directly assigned to the magic department's examination room.
Hill didn't say much. After Xia Yi entered the magic examination room, she followed silently.
"Huh? Why did Mr. Hill come to our magic department examination room?"
"Yes, she should be more concerned about the swordsmanship department, right?"
"I don't know, why does it seem like Mr. Hill has been staring at that girl and completely ignoring everyone else."
"Wow, could it be that that girl made Mr. Hill angry? In a way, that's pretty cool."
Others were discussing at once.
Xia Yi was helpless, as if Xier was a little angry...
Why do I feel like I'm going to be famous after passing this exam and entering Laurel College?
"Xia Yi Lawrence, it's your turn." The invigilator of the magic department called out Xia Yi's name.
The exam for magic is somewhat different from that for swordsmanship.
The results of the swordplay course will be more inclined towards performance in actual combat.
But magic is different. There are many types of magic, and each has different uses in different situations. Actual combat cannot be the only criterion for testing. It depends more on the talent and future potential demonstrated by oneself.
For example, the students' magic power, their affinity with magic, and the quality and efficiency of their magic chanting...
Another point is the spell display session.
In short, there will be many assessments, and after all the tests, a comprehensive judgment will be made based on the performance.
Hum hum.
This was no problem for the Silver Dragon Princess who had been educated by the dragon magic master Gran. It was a piece of cake!
All of them were passed easily, allowing Xia Yi to achieve very good scores.
