Vol 5 Chapter 17: No next time in life

"next time?"
　　 Rat fairy smiled, his voice seemed a bit harsh in the empty tavern:
　　 "'Next time I will do better','Next time I will win','Next time I will never make this kind of mistake'."
　　 "Next time, next time, next time."
　　 "There is no next time in life. Every day is a new beginning."
　　 "After you really touch the time, you will realize that there is no next time in your life. The next time in your consciousness is an illusion. Especially you, young man."
The tail behind the 　　 Rat Fairy suddenly stretched out and poked the sorcely witch with the tip of the tail, and bluffed her.
"...When you are young, you should learn to grasp the present. Take your daily work, every thing to do, every choice, and every moment as the only opportunity in this world. In this way, your life will not be empty. ."
　　 "Come on, tell me," the Rat Fairy cleared his throat and howled: "This time, I must succeed!"
　　 It raised its small paws and looked up at the sky, as if holding up the entire sun. For a while, even the thick wrinkles on its body were unfolded, making it look much younger.
　　 The owner of the Gini Hut has quick eyes and hands, and quickly placed a powerful soundproof barrier to control the howl of the big mouse in this tavern.
　　 Then she had time to add two earplugs to her ears.
　　 "You are secretly changing the concept!" The tavern owner raised his voice and exclaimed, "Philosophy and life are two different things! Theory and reality are also two worlds! Smart wizards don't touch rocks with eggs!"
　　 "Perhaps," The Rat Fairy did not deny the witch's point of view. He stared at the black eyes the size of a mung bean, stared at the new wizard in front of him, and said softly:
"Maybe you think my choice is a bit stupid. But in this life, a person has to do a few stupid things. You have to know that although there is no next time in life, the essence of wizards is a repeater. They are always repeating past mistakes. Repeating those wrong choices."
"...Like the young man upstairs who was going to try the'Yuanchen Guardian Spell'. Although I am old and have a bad memory, I clearly remember not long ago, a little wizard lost half his life when trying this spell. . Can you say they are stupid? They have clearly learned from the last failure..."
　　 Kolma suddenly opened his eyes wide when he heard this, and looked up.
　　 The flame of the white candle hanging upside down under the ceiling trembled violently, and several golden sparks popped out. Even between the thick wooden planks and the dazzling sparks, the witch saw what she wanted to see at a glance.
　　 In the hall on the second floor of the Sakura Tavern, several young gray-robed wizards are hiding in a corner, holding a book of dharma with excitement, chanting the curse of Yuanchen Guardian Mantra in a low voice.
"Damn it!" the witch yelled angrily, "I don't have a second Kabbalah leaf to save their lives... Even the previous bit of sand bug was the harvest of the school committee last year! They were cut off! How can it be so stupid!"
　　Mouse fairy stalls his small paws, with an expression of ‘this is the truth’:
　　 "As I said, the essence of a wizard is a repeater."

When Kolmar rushed to the second floor angrily, looking for some trouble with a gray robe that tried the'Yuanchen Guardian Curse', outside Gudiao Street, two young wizards from the first university who had just left the Sakura Tavern were watching The dark alleyway was in a daze.
　　 It's not that the two of them are enjoying the night view-there is nothing to watch in the night of the North District-the two of them just stayed for a while by the yard two door numbers from the pub.
Immediately after leaving the Sakura Tavern, Zheng Qing happened to see a few north district wizards dug a huge puddle in the courtyard of No. 31 Gudiao Street. A group of barefooted little magicians were carrying old buckets, and they were in the street with water. Running around between the pits.
　　 Wow!
　　 The clear river water was mixed with black and green amphibians, and was dumped into a puddle. The breath of the quiet river was mixed with the smell of amphibians, hovering over the puddle, condensing a slender but clear resentment.
Those barefoot little jugglers may not be able to see the grievances, or they may not care when they see them-for the North District jugglers, there are too many things in life that are more scary than the grievances-they just repeat with joy Follow the action of'lift the bucket-pour into the puddle-lift the bucket'.
　　 A few older gray robes sold these amphibians to the guests in and out of the cherry blossom tavern next door for the price of a copper and a frog.
　　 This is purely commercial.
　　 Jiang Yu hesitated for a while, then he pulled the boy to stand beside the "frog pit" and recite the death curse several times. The older gray robe next to him didn't stop him, but he didn't help either. There was just a sneer at the corner of his mouth, coldly looking at the compassion of the red robe.
　　 Until the two left the yard, the people on both sides did not communicate.
　　 It seems that they live in two parallel worlds.
　　 When Zheng Qing left, the puddle was already full of poor reptiles. The low and low frogs cried one after another, but they were very cleverly confined in the puddle by magic.
"It's a crime~EbookFREE.me~ The wizard muttered, and subconsciously touched his gray cloth bag, then he remembered that his book had been tied a dozen times with a belt by himself, and stuffed into the deepest part of the paulownia box. Place.
　　 "This is a necessary sacrifice." Jiang Yu imitated the tone of a student of Alpha College, his chin lifted slightly: "It is an honor for these bugs to contribute to the glory of the North District!"
　　 The two young people laughed together.
　　 Zheng Qing circulated the words ‘frog’, ‘northern wizard’, ‘colma’ and ‘Nicholas’ in his mind, and slowly stopped laughing.
　　 Jiang Yu tilted his head and glanced at him.
　　 "What do you think about asking Colmar-senpai to give Nicholas a curse?" He asked softly.
　　 This thought has been circling in his mind all night.
　　 Because of the werewolf bloodline removed, Nicholas' magic talent is almost certain that there will be a huge decline. Perhaps with this year's hard work, he can be promoted to the second grade. But it is almost impossible to go further.
But when Jiang Yu and Kolmar discussed the possibility of Nicholas’ return to the North World in the Sakura Tavern before, both sides had a tacit understanding of avoiding this possibility-let a first university student's forehead be branded with North The same stigma of the theater wizards was a terrible humiliation in the eyes of the two girls.
　　 After all, holding the first university degree certificate and holding the graduation certificate of a certain training class are still two completely different concepts in the current wizarding world.
　　 "There is no juggler's world in the North District." The witch was silent for a long time, and finally replied: "We can make such a proposal. Whether we can accept it in the end depends on Nicholas's own decision."
