Chapter 108 A chance encounter in a small restaurant
For a moment, the only sound in the quiet examination room was the sound of charcoal clinking against the hardwood table.
Maka forced herself to calm down. Fortunately, the strict teachings given to him by Rob on weekdays were not in vain. The knowledge that he had painstakingly memorized before reappeared in his mind.
Slowly, Maka got into the mood. Not long after, when he finished writing the test paper, he looked up and saw that there were only a few people left in the examination room.
After checking it quickly, Maka handed the test paper to the examiner very nervously and followed the large group out of Wanling Academy.
The lizard man and kobold friends who were riding in the same carriage before didn't know what was going on now. But it was difficult for Maka to find them, as she was still carrying large and small bags.
The test results may not be available until tomorrow at the latest.
"Let's find a place to stay first and have something to eat on the way." Maka said to herself.
Before entering the examination room, the person in charge of guiding us said that there are cheap hotels here for candidates.
Maka walked along Wanling College Street with a bow in hand. Along the way, there were city residents passing by in twos and threes everywhere.
Their clean clothes made the short Maka involuntarily shrink to the edge of the road.
He tried his best to cover up the stains on his clothes - the soot hidden in the seams that could not be washed away no matter how hard he washed them, but he couldn't do it.
Finally, he found a hotel with a "Examination Student Discount" sign on the door. Maka looked inside through the window and saw that there were already many customers sitting inside.
He was attending the exam today and his stomach was already protesting before he even ate much.
Maka approached cautiously and sat down at a low table in the back.
After putting down his luggage, he realized that the table next to him seemed to be of a race he had never seen before.
"Human!?" Maka screamed in her heart.
As if I had discovered some new species, I couldn't help but take a second look.
I heard from the adults in the industrial area that the lord has set up a market for trading with humans at the Twin Fortresses. But can humans actually come to Osfir City?
He was confused in his heart, but Maka could feel that this was not a problem that he should worry about. Because he clearly saw that in addition to humans, there was also a goblin in luxurious clothes accompanying the table.
"Unexpectedly, when we got here, we were watched like animals in a circus." On the table, Brat spread his hands and said with a smile.
The people sitting around this table were none other than the Yulin Club group that had been invited, and they were accompanied by Robbie.
Before he finished speaking, everyone unanimously agreed. Maka's little sneak peek just now couldn't escape their eyes at all, but they were already used to it.
"Who told you to insist on running here? It's my private kitchen, and the banquet prepared for you was wasted." Theos held his forehead, feeling very helpless.
After he brought a few people over, he didn't expect that they seemed to have discovered a new world. They didn't do any serious work at all, and instead ran around all day long.
"Don't take us with you, it's Blatter." Milo pointed. It was true that they felt novel, but the craziest one was undoubtedly Blatter.
I have to say that Blatter is very consistent with his career in some aspects.
"What do you know? Only in the most ordinary places can you truly see the scenery here clearly." Brat raised his head and shared his rich travel experience.
"The luxury in the castle is similar, but the farmsteads in the countryside are different."
Theos nodded without comment and said with a smile: "As long as you get used to it, let's talk about it first, don't compare mine with Franke's white pearl."
Osfir has just started, and it is far from being a pompous and meticulous time, which Theos has always strictly prohibited.
"No, in fact, I also like this atmosphere very much." Ezreal said quickly: "This feeling..."
"It's amazing," Bethrina continued.
"Indeed." Renn nodded.
Not to mention Bethrina, who has been living in the Eversummer Forest all year round, and Ezreal, who is under strict supervision, even the leader of the Brotherhood, who has been sleeping outdoors and taking risks, has never experienced such a scene.
In the usual impression, various monster races that are savage, cruel, and have low thinking ability actually live together in such an orderly manner.
They are all busy for their own lives, and even obey the orders of the alien high-ups. All of this is so surprising.
Osphier gives them a sense of reality and illusion, which is related to their cognitive misalignment.
"It would be great if all races in this world could live together harmoniously like this." Bethrina touched the oak cider glass and said in fascination.
She is such a pure elf, and this is what makes Brat deeply fascinated by her.
"There will be," Bratt said.
Theos doesn't think so. Let alone him, I'm afraid Bethrina's fellow elves, the elven elders, won't agree either.
In this world, the camps of good and evil are difficult to deflect, and there are still some hopeless existences. Theos can only change some things on a small scale.
If there is no evil, there is no good. This may sound philosophical, but this is why the sixteen outer planes exist.
On the other side, Maka tried to order today's lunch for herself after observing the food of other customers.
Maka noticed that the tiefling aunt in the hotel seemed to be walking towards this direction. Maka saw the opportunity and raised her hand to signal.
But the right one didn't seem to notice, and turned to look at other customers.
Maka lowered her head in embarrassment.
Theos noticed the small theater here and almost laughed out loud.
Calling a waiter is also a technical job!
This reminded Lin En of when he was still studying in his previous life. When he was introverted and young, he would occasionally go to a restaurant to eat with his friends. It was quite challenging for Lin En to call the waiter aunt (or sister).
If the voice is too low, you may not be able to hear it at all. How to find the right time to speak out is very important for social fear.
"That little brother seems to need help." Bulat spoke up and helped Maka out of trouble.
Only then did Auntie Tiefling notice that there was a small transparency in the corner.
"Haven't you noticed that you are here to apply for Wanling College?" The aunt pointed to a label on Maka's chest - this is his examination number.
Maka nodded shyly.
"Oh, there is a policy from above. You can eat here for free, and the accommodation will only charge you a small amount of the cost price."
"Thank you, thank you." Maka didn't expect such a thing to happen, even though his father had already given him a lot of money when he came.
"You're welcome, I have nothing to lose." Aunt Tieflin smiled: "Give me your admission ticket after you leave, and I can get a compensation."
Seeing her unstoppable smile, one can imagine that the compensation should be quite generous.
"Tell me, what would you like to have? Our most distinctive feature is our home-produced wine."
"No, can you give me two hash browns and two apples?" Although the food was free, Maka still didn't dare to order too much.
"Of course." Auntie Tiefling turned and left.
Their conversation was heard by everyone in the Feather Scale Society.
Bulat's mind moved and he couldn't help but ask: "This... Goblin?"
"My name is Maka."
"Oh, okay Maka. My name is Bulat, a bard."
"Hello."
"Don't be nervous, I am your lord's friend."
"Really!?" Maka exclaimed, as if she had seen something extraordinary.
Theos has a black line - Hey, don't use my name casually!
Fortunately, Bulat didn't mess around. He just wanted to have a relationship with this little goblin.
Soon, Maka, who was inexperienced in the world, had already put down her guard to Bratt and told her situation like a straw.
"How's it going? Do you have confidence in this entrance exam?" Brat asked.
"A little bit." Maka thought about her test paper, but then said: "But it's not necessarily..."
"Can I ask, if you are admitted, where do you want to go?" Theos interjected.
"Is it the School of Management?"
As soon as these words came out, Maka immediately became entangled, and after a while she said: "My father told me this."
"but……"
"I might prefer to go to a normal college."
Maka's words made everyone a little surprised. Brat couldn't help but said: "Why? The Normal College is not as promising as the Management College!"
"Maybe it's because of my father, who is also a teacher. Although he always says that he has no ability, in my heart, I am proud of being his son."
"Being a teacher is about giving up your own future for the future of more people." Maka somehow managed to speak out all her innermost thoughts in front of a stranger.
He thought of his friends in the Lum Industrial Zone, whose faces were stained with soot, and also thought of the clean and beautiful clothes of the people in Osfil City, which further strengthened his idea.
He didn't even dare to tell his father these thoughts.
Little did he know that the bard across from him was a master at manipulating souls. He only needed a few tricks to make him say anything.
