Vol 5 Chapter 226: Inside and outside the window

Nicholas became more and more silent.
　　Except for Liu Feifei, who studies with him every day, only Zheng Qing can see this. Although most of the people in the class did not ridicule Nicholas as much as outside students or Alpha students, they would not stand behind him and cheer for him.
　　 Because since Nicholas threw his ‘self-defense’ in the newspaper, the focus of public opinion has been upgraded from ‘an ordinary student’s view of murloc riots’ to the academic contradiction of ‘freedom and equality’.
　　 Alpha’s public opinion believes that Nicholas was under internal pressure from the Jiuyou Academy, so his defense in the newspaper lacked credibility. After the Beta Town Post released the entire interview record, saying that it did not take it out of context, public opinion was even more uproar. There is no shortage of voices in Alpha Castle who regard Nicholas as a liar, a coward, and a faithless man.
　　 Similarly, there are few Nicholas supporters in Jiuyou Academy. On the one hand, before Nicholas entered Jiuyou Academy, the first time he entered the school was Alpha Academy, which made him seem to be burdened with some kind of'guilt', and his speech on the'murloc incident' is even more corroborative. This point; on the other hand, Nicholas’s behavior of easily changing his position after being pressured by public opinion also allowed Jiuyou College to teach others, as if the college did not allow students to express their position.
　　 This sounds contradictory, but it is true.
　　 In the pharmacy class on Thursday.
　　 In the corner of the classroom in the potions class, Liu Feifei used wooden shears to chop off a herb and handed it to Nicholas. In order to prevent other people in the class from adding bad words to him, the witch specially applied for the same medicine group as him.
　　"Gypsophila has a spicy, warm and fragrant nature. It has an inner heart and a spleen, and an outer limb. It can detoxify and relieve pain." The witch whispered, passing the herbal medicine to Nicholas's hand: "Chop it up and scald it with boiling water."
　　 With a stiff smile on his face, Nicholas took the cut of herbs and started working silently. This made the witch's face even more worried. She raised her head anxiously, and looked around.
　　 Everyone in the classroom is paying attention to the crucible and medicine jar in front of them, and no one looks at them.
　　 Turning a blind eye and scumbag, Liu Feifei doesn't know which situation is worse, but she knows that she doesn't like either situation. She hopes that everyone will face Nicholas with a normal attitude like her.
From the podium, Professor Li Qihuang’s faint voice came, as if from a distant horizon: "...After the celestial grass is crushed, it is simmered in boiling water, and then mixed with green onion juice. The jade spoon is stirred clockwise for nine and a half times. , Add three coins of warm wine. Here we often use Shaoxing rice wine as a supplement, which is mild in nature and can slowly evaporate the efficacy..."
　　 Nicholas meticulously blended the potion according to the professor's instructions. On the contrary, Liu Feifei was a little messy, either measuring the weight of the rice wine wrong, or the direction of stirring was reversed.
After 　　 several times, she became more and more depressed.
　　 "Am I very useless?" The witch pursed her lips, her eyes flushed. Not only was she annoyed with this small pot of potion in front of her anger, she was also annoyed that she could not do anything about Nicholas.
　　 The stiff expression on the wizard's face finally eased a lot.
　　 "No, absolutely not." His tone was very firm: "If you, as the chief student, feel that you are useless, then I should throw myself into the Mariana Trench and give that big sea monster a snack."
　　 "You haven't been admitted as a registered wizard. The Sea Monster King won't eat snacks like yours. It's a shame." The witch couldn't help but smile, and her mood finally improved. Anyway, Nicholas would still joke, which is a good sign.
　　 The wizard twitched the corner of his mouth in cooperation, and turned to look out the window.
　　 "Don't worry, I'm very strong."
He murmured, looking at the blurred face reflected from the glass window, and muttering to himself silently: "If there are two other things I am good at in this world, then one is to protect my sister, and the other is Learn to be strong."
　　 "Hmm, now I have to add one more... to protect your peace of mind."
　　 Thinking of this, the wizard grinned and pulled out a happy smile.
　　 In the aisle near the window, a figure in a white robe was slowly passing by. As if perceiving the sight behind the window, the white robe wizard glanced at him carelessly.
　　 Nicholas' eyes seemed to be pierced, and he flinched back suddenly.

　　Sir Friedman looked back, always feeling that the face behind the window was a bit familiar.
　　 But looking at the appearance of this classroom, it seems that a group of nine students in the first grade are taking potions class. Friedman didn't think he would know any first-year students—except Zheng Qing and Matthew. The former embarrassed his subordinates twice and three times, and the latter is his cousin. He is naturally no stranger to the two.
　　 The steaming mist in the potions classroom made the face a little blurred.
　　 thought for a long time, until he reached the end of the corridor and was about to turn, Jazz finally remembered who the familiar face belonged to.
　　 Nicholas Green Oswall.
　　 The half-werewolf who had entered the school with him, a with half the blood of the Oswall family. He once thought that the half-werewolf had certain qualities that other did not possess ~EbookFREE.me~ and also considered letting him participate in his own lounge activities. But later facts proved that some qualities can never be compensated.
　　 The is just a after all, no matter how noble the mixed blood is, it can't hide the despicable aura of their partner.
　　 is like the recent riot.
　　 A wizard with a sense of honor will never change his position under inexplicable pressure, let alone making up nonsense in the newspaper. Whenever he thinks of this, Sir Friedman has an urge to draw out Nicholas’ blood belonging to the Oswall family, so as not to tarnish the glory of the moon.
　　 But this is the first university, not the ancient castle of the Karen family, nor the lawless hunting grounds outside the school. Except for practical classes and hunting competitions, No.1 University does not allow students to draw out books from each other.
　　 "This is a terrible world."
　　 Sir Friedman's gloomy gaze swept across the corridor and across the gray world outside the window. For a while, his mood became particularly bad.
　　Because Nicholas reminded him of the harassment of the Murloc tribe, he then thought of the riot of the horses outside Alpha Castle that he handled. The same method, different results, let him see the disappointment in Augustus's eyes.
　　 The same disappointment, he had never seen it in the eyes of Augustus looking at Ceprano's fat man.
　　 This gave Jazz an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart.
　　 And this is why he appeared in this stairwell at the moment.
