Chapter 58: "Old Student" Nicholas

　　 While the freshmen were chatting with each other, Nicholas stood by and waited patiently.
　　 As Zheng Qing guessed, he is not a senior student in the first university.
　　 But it cannot be denied that he is an old student in Jiuyou Academy.
　　 Nicholas Green Oswall, a first-year student at Jiuyou College, First University. This is his third year in school-he has failed the final exams for freshman promotion twice.
　　 Dean Yao of Jiuyou Academy had a frank conversation with him at the end of July.
　　 "If you still can't go further by the end of the third school year, I am afraid the college will re-evaluate your admission qualifications. This will not only affect your future wizarding career, but also affect Liz's future admission applications."
　　 The scene of the conversation is still vivid, and Nicholas can even easily remember how many times Professor Yao knocked his pipe that day.
　　 is also because of this, he is full of fear for the coming new school year.
　　 He is not worried that he cannot become a regular wizard, but is worried about his sister, Liz.
　　 Nicholas was born in the northern district of Beta Town, where the magicians gather.
　　 In the "Wizards Code", the jugglers are identified as ‘restricted ability’ wizards. In other words, the wizards recognize the status of the wizard as a wizard, but they have reservations about their ability to cast spells.
　　Because the magician's ability is too weak.
　　Most jugglers can only pull a small white rabbit from an empty hat; or build a castle with a deck of playing cards; the most powerful thing is to turn a bunch of roses into a group of small white doves.
　　 For wizards, this ability belongs to the level of preschool children.
　　Weak abilities even make them incapable of the work of apprentice wizards: the spirit of the wizards is very easily damaged in the wizard laboratory, and their bodies cannot withstand the weight of the alchemy workshop.
　　 In short, there is no way for a magician to find a suitable job in the wizarding world.
　　 No suitable job means no stable income.
　　 means hardship in life.
　　Many jugglers have tried to stay away from this life. However, the qualities they have always expected to be recognized have become the shackles that bind them at this time.
　　 The "Measures for the Management of Wizard Behaviors" issued by the Wizards League imposes very strict restrictions on the mundane lives of wizards. It clearly stipulates that without permission, it is strictly forbidden for wizards to stay in Baiding society for a long time, for wizards to engage in the Baiding profession, or to have deeper exchanges with Baiding society.
　　 So, these poor people can only linger on the reserved land allocated for them by the witch league.
The young and strong, bite their teeth, go to the Black Forest, do the picking work that ordinary wizards disdain to do, and even act as bait for some black-hearted hunting teams; the old and weak, shrink in the streets and corners, do some tricks, expect A kind person in Ji dropped a few coppers.
　　 For wizards, they are as disgusting as cockroaches.
The stubborn wizards believe that the existence of the magician reduces the wizard’s sense of mystery and makes the distance between the wizard and Bai Ding not so far away, which is a blasphemy of magic; in the eyes of radical wizards, the magician is a failed evolutionary. It even opposes the identification of the magician in the "Wizard Code".
　　 Even now, to any orthodox wizard, calling him a ‘juggler’ is like calling a normal person ‘idiot’ and ‘mentally retarded’, which is a very serious offense.
　　 Nicholas' mother, Mary Green, is a juggler.
　　 However, she is a beautiful juggler.
　　 Whether it is the world of mortals, or the world of wizards, whether ancient or present. Beauty has always been an outstanding talent.
　　 Maybe God felt that the beauty he gave her was too generous, so he took back a little gift through other means.
　　 Like her child.
　　 Nicholas and Liz, shortly after their birth, were recognized as the qualifications of jugglers.
　　 This is tantamount to pronouncing their life's hard labor.
　　Mary is a brave woman. She doesn't want the two children to repeat the tragic life of a juggler.
　　 So she broke into the werewolf's campfire feast.
　　 She succeeded.
　　 Liz and Nicholas were gifted by the drunken King Osval.
　　 She also failed.
　　 The crazy werewolf hurt her viciously during the dinner.
　　 When she staggered back home, the blood had already dyed her body red.
　　 "Live well and take care of your sister."
　　 These are the last two words she said to Nicholas.
　　 Throughout her life, this woman will only turn a handful of thornweed into a bunch of lilies.
　　 But this brave woman used her life to complete a great magic-let two children who are destined to be magicians re-enter the society of wizards.
　　 Nicholas felt a bit sore in his eyes. He blinked and looked at the young newcomers in front of him.
　　 Once upon a time, he also stood here, listening to his seniors telling the story of this hall and this university.
　　 Now the seniors who tell stories have graduated, and the friends who entered the school with them are busy in the laboratory.
　　 Only oneself, still wandering in the corridor on the first floor of the first hall, bearing the malice of the world, for the reward of a credit, brazenly praying to his former classmates.
　　 Liz deserves a better future, she must enter the first university.
　　 for the mother.
　　 Nicholas murmured, his eyes firmed up again.
　　 "Let's continue." He slapped his hands, interrupting the heated discussion among the freshmen.
　　 "The murals on the wall behind the corridor describe the history of wizards. Those magnificent scenes and magnificent pictures are all traces of wizards' existence in this world."
　　 Zheng Qing stared at a picture scroll in fascination.
　　 In the painting, a wizard wields his staff and confronts a ferocious monster. The void behind them was dark, and they were surrounded by thunder and lightning. Crimson lava rolled under their feet, and the surrounding space was distorted in their vision. The upside-down momentum seemed to break through this painting wall.
　　 Nicholas stood in front of him, blocking his view.
　　 He looked at the young people in front of him, recalling the warnings of his predecessors~EbookFREE.me~ and repeated those words to these newcomers:
　　 "What you need to pay attention to is: don't be overly obsessed with history. No matter how great and great history is, it is time that has passed; and the future is under your feet. Indulging in history, it is easy to lose yourself."
　　 The eyes of the newcomers reluctantly leave these murals.
　　 Nicholas nodded in satisfaction.
　　 He turned around and introduced the first hall to the freshmen:
"There are nine gates around the first floor of the entire hall. One is the gate behind us, which leads to the outside world. Of the remaining eight, four lead to four colleges and four lead to four research institutes. "
"The four colleges are Jiuyou College, Alpha College, Atlas College, and Starry Sky College. Everyone should know. The four institutes are Alchemy Institute, Astronomy Institute, Witch Medicine Institute, and Divination Research Institute. So. Of course, there are places such as the Star Tower and Fuluyuan, which are also very famous research institutions. It's just that those places are not open to students in the lower grades."
"Nine gates are in this hall, but there are countless gates in the four colleges and four research institutes. The mystery of them is to be explored by yourself. Maybe there are a few doors in the teaching building that will appear directly after you pass through them. In the center of the first hall; or a section of the wall that you pass every day, there is a gate leading to Beta Town."
　　 "But more of them are just a classroom behind the door."
　　 "The lintel of each door has its own unique signs and marks, or proverbs, as long as you pay attention, you will not go wrong."
"Just like the gate of Jiuyou Academy's'School', its lintel has six characters symmetrical on the left and right-Tianxingjian, and the topography Kun. Only by knowing the meaning of these six characters can you cross the threshold and truly enter the academy In."
