Chapter 221: Weilan in the Ivory Tower (Ⅱ)

Just last week, Edward Gates made a major breakthrough, becoming the first of the three newly received masters of Rawls to be promoted to the level 3 mage.
Although the son of the general did not publicly express his complacency, Joan still felt that Edward became much more lively after he was promoted, and he was particularly friendly and friendly when he greeted himself. He even invited himself to be a guest when he was free.
At first, Joan didn't quite understand why Edward had such a change.
In terms of his knowledge of a country boy, when a noble and wealthy young master made some achievements, and successfully left his classmates and competitors behind him, he should not ridicule each other with pride and say something like "like you Are the inferiors who don’t deserve to be my opponents?
Why did Edward's students behave in the opposite way?
When he has not yet advanced, he always observes himself secretly with a wolf-like shadow, and occasionally looks polite and cold when chatting with himself, as if deliberately placing an invisible wall between the two; and when his Master's level is higher than himself, it is like changing a person, taking the initiative to remove the wall between the two, and also showing excessive enthusiasm. It seems that he really wants to make friends with himself.
Joan couldn't understand Edward's transformation.
During a chat with Thomas, he couldn't help but reveal his confusion.
"I also found that Edward's kid has a little smile on his face recently, but his attitude towards me is still the same, probably because he saw that I am not a big deal, and it is not worth his hard work, and you don't It’s the same. The reason why Edward has been more gracious to you recently is because he believes that he has surpassed you and can get rid of the heavy pressure you have placed on his shoulders since entering school, so that he can take a little breath and don’t need to treat you as an enemy for the time being Once there is no hostility towards you, it naturally appears more intimate and friendly." Thomas explained with a smile.
"But I never put any pressure on Edward..."
Joanne still couldn't understand Edward's change of mind.
"It has nothing to do with your subjective will."
Thomas rarely put a smile on his face and analyzed it seriously.
"Joan, you are like a gleaming gem, your existence is not to illuminate dark corners or cause people to lust, but the radiance you emit will illuminate the surrounding space, and it will inevitably make those Stones that don’t shine or are as glorious as yours are discolored."
"Edward is such a stone, he is not willing to be covered by your light, he can only desperately burn his life and talent, and release a stronger brilliance, even if it is just a moment, and this will inevitably bring great pressure to him. ."
"If a person lives under pressure all the time and feels that the classmates around him are better than themselves, and therefore feel anxious and even inferior, how can he be happy? How can he take the initiative to work with the classmate who makes him feel great pressure? Contact?"
"Until a certain day, his efforts were finally rewarded in return, inspiring a more dazzling brilliance than you. The stone pressed against my heart was removed, and I could face you with a more peaceful attitude."
After listening to Thomas’s analysis, Joan realized that Edward Gates was born with a
golden spoon
and was not as carefree as he thought.
His noble background is both a luck and a curse, providing him with a better material life while also bringing much heavier mental pressure than his peers.
Poor children can reasonably blame their lack of beauty, intelligence, and excellence on their mediocre parents and poor families, and lack of access to better education and social resources. The rich sons and young ladies cannot use the same reasons as their own " Shame cloth".
In order to maintain the reputation of the family, they must be beautiful, smart, excellent and always outstanding. In order to meet the high expectations of family, friends and the general public, they must make unimaginable efforts behind them to overcome the pressure that ordinary people cannot bear.
With this in mind, it is not difficult for Joanne to understand why some young people from wealthy families have such good conditions why they are reduced to undesirable prodigals and even prodigals.
One of the most important factors is that I can’t bear the huge pressure of being associated with the rich and the rich. I have suffered setbacks on the road to excellence, and my spirit has been damaged. Indulge in pleasure and anesthetize your own nerves, trying to get rid of the pressure from family and society in the dream of death.
"I doubt how long Edward's good mood will last."
Thomas looked at Joan and smiled meaningfully.
"If I guessed right, would you soon be promoted to level 3 mage?"
"With Edward's extremely sensitive self-esteem, when you are not as good as him, he will be very kind and friendly to you, but when you catch up with him or even surpass him, don't want to get his good face again."
After Joan heard this, he felt a bit depressed.
As Thomas guessed, he vaguely felt that his mage level would soon increase.
Joan didn't want to make Edward unhappy, but he was even more reluctant to slow down the pace of learning in order to cater to the preferences of others. He could only secretly sigh and set aside this annoying problem for the time being.
What people think about something depends on their positioning.
Joan, for example, was not jealous of Edward Gates’ advancement to level 3 mage earlier than himself. This was mainly because it only took him a few months to upgrade from a mage apprentice to a level 2 mage, but Edward did It took a full two years.
Over time, Joan believes that his advantage over Edward will be greater and greater, and sooner or later he will leave the other party behind him, and he will not be able to care about temporarily staying behind.
In addition, Joan also has a happy thing.
Since this time, thanks to a stable life, regular and nutritious diet and reasonable diet, coupled with the intention to strengthen exercise, his body is stronger than before entering school, and his length has also grown an inch.
If the external changes of the body are not obvious enough, the changes in physical attributes will not be clear.
When he got up this morning, Joan habitually performed the 0-ring "endoscopy" to check his health status, so as not to suffer from diseases with mild initial symptoms without knowing it.
The result of the inner view shows that his body is as healthy as ever, and he unintentionally finds that his physical attributes have increased by 1 point, from 9 to 10!
The 10-point physique attribute is the average standard for healthy adults.
This shouldn't be a fuss, but Joan really has reason to be happy.
According to the traditional standards of the Yalfheim region, sixteen years old is considered an adult, and Joan, who is under fourteen years old, is just a young boy with a growing body.
Now, his physique has reached the average standard of adults in advance, indicating that he has got rid of the ranks of "weak but can't help the wind", and can be regarded as a real man.
