Chapter 44 Choice or Fate <TOC> Chapter 46 Living Food
Translator: SumTLMan
“San. Lord Sanders, Angel. Pat has joined White Coral Floating Island College, so. ”
Morrow had been unable to speak after saying “so”, not because he was frightened by Sanders, but by the cold sweat he felt after being stared at by the eyes of the other wizards.
Originally the hall was very noisy, rustling with whispers, but when Angel wanted to answer Sanders, everyone tacitly shut up, waiting for Angel’s choice. At such an extremely quiet moment, Morrow suddenly making noise had naturally drawn everyones’ attention.
When Angel was in the public eye, he acted like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. Although he did not understand the world of wizards and felt uncomfortable, he could at least speak clearly. Morrow, on the other hand, is used to being warm and cold. He often knows how to judge the moment and size up the situation. In the face of formal wizards, he will unconsciously grovel. Because of this, when he was watched by the many eyes of formal wizards, he is left unable to even speak clearly and stutters his words the whole time.
Herolyn was indisputably “spitting” at the bottom of her heart.
Florian, on the other hand, raised his hand uncomfortably, covering some of his hot cheeks.
Although Morrow could not speak clearly, he had expressed what he was supposed to when he had interrupted Angel.
However, Sanders did not even look at him directly, he leisurely caressed his white gloves unconcerned, waiting for Angel’s reply.
Morrow stood awkwardly in the middle of the scene, not feeling at ease for a long while, when he felt that he was about to be swallowed up by the breath of silence, a spooky laugh broke the awkward silence.
“You say Angel is already a student at White Coral Floating Island College? Why can’t I see it then? ” It was Flora who was floating in mid-air, as if she were lying on an old fashioned chaise lounge chair, lying leisurely in a half facing position on her side, with her pair of smooth legs folded over each other, and the tips of her lush toes pointing out.
“He followed me on board.”
“So what? Following you on board, does not mean he has to go to your chicken organization? ” Flora turns and says sarcastically.
“I.”
“Besides, why do you think he’s still an ordinary person, and why hasn’t he even built a mental model in his body? How can it be said that he is one of yours?” Flora took out her beautiful umbrella and pointed to Angel: “I remember that the guidance method of your organization is the triangle guidance, right? So tell me, did you teach Angel the triangle guidance method? If you have already taught him, then I have nothing to say, just like that boy named Eastley, it would be all right to give him to you. ”
“You haven’t taught him all the way from the Edge Island to the Devil’s Sea, did you not want to teach it to him from beginning to end?”
Flora’s words straightened up both Morrow and Florian. They really didn’t teach him.
Flora looked at Angel again. “Angel, right? Let sister come and tell you something. Generally speaking, organizations like them are called Academicians. Similar to what some wizard apprentices call the white wizard faction, this kind of wizard organization, which generally attaches great importance to the talented, and will pass on their guidance method on the guiding ship. Just now I glanced at the talents on the Bohemia. At least 50% of them have built mental pathways in their bodies. “
“It also means that if they truly value a talent, they are bound to pass on the guidance method early on. And look at yourself, on the Bohemia for so long, and still an ordinary person, do you not understand? Hee, they don’t value you at all. ”
Flora’s words hit the nail on the head.
Morrow, however, shivered violently. In fact, when he taught the Alan and his sister Irene the guidance method, he also intended to teach it to Angel as well. He just considered at the time, that he could not blindly give him the method for nothing in return, so he stopped himself and didn’t pass it on. Besides, what he said at that time was to enforce the principle of equivalent exchange in the wizard world, and he felt naturally unwilling to pass on the guidance method for no reason.
“Am I right? If you teach Angel the guidance, then according to the default rules of the wizard’s world, we will not stand in the way and take him away. But if you don’t teach him the guidance, then the choice falls onto Angel, so stop chattering. ”
Morrow was stunned, in this place, filled with non mortal people, how can he appear here, Angel is just an ordinary mortal, there is no trace of practicing a guidance method.
Flora’s words were basically said in order to hit Morrow in the face and restate what Jailall had mentioned before.
Moreover, Morrow had no words to refute this at all.
By reason, Angel did not learn the guidance method of White Coral Floating Island College, nor did he conduct a formal talent test. Angel is at best a prospective student at White Coral Floating Island College. In fact, prospective students are free to go where they please, they have not signed a contract, and are not bound by any obligations, even if Morrow speaks of morality, there is no basis for it.
At this point, Morrow finally had nothing to say and quietly stepped aside.
Looking at the anger in Herolyn’s eyes, Morrow could only bow his head in shame. If he had known what would happen today, he would have never held that principle and would teach the guidance method directly, and this issue would have been resolved! Triangle Guidance is not such a valuable method!
Yes, he knew it.
Morrow felt that he had suddenly gone from his joyful past to this remorseful present. The thought of his future when he returns to the college, even with the opportunity to enjoy Gloria’s delicious cooking, did not make him feel better.
With endless remorse, Morrow seemed to have aged ten years in that moment, while he gloomily stood in the corner feeling lost.
…….
“Young brother Angel, have you made up your mind?” Flora floated to Angel and looked at Angel with a glamorous expression. “Don’t you want to be my little brother?”
Flora’s bewilderment did not get the desired effect, Angel’s eyes were still clear as usual and even frowned, wondering about her flirting posture.
Flora froze, resentfully scolded this “little boy” at the bottom of her heart, then rolled her eyes, floated to Gloria’s side, and discussed about food with her.
The focus of the scene returned to Angel.
Angel looked at Morrow and then at Sanders.
He pondered for a long time and hesitated not because he was afraid of offending anyone, but because he was thinking about what Sanders was trying to do with him. He did not believe people gave something for no reason, just as Morrow did not give him the triangle guidance method, he felt more at ease knowing what to pay. Sanders came so strangely, and he firmly believed that the other side wants something on him or wants to do something to him.
The reason for Angel’s hesitation is that he is afraid that he will not be able to give the other what they want, leading to anger.
What does the other side want? How far can he go to give what the other wants? This is why it’s hard for Angel to choose.
If he chooses White Coral Floating Island College, there is no need to consider these issues, but can he really save the life of his mentor within five years by choosing White Coral Floating Island College?
On the other hand, if he prepares himself, he can maybe meet the need of his new mentor.
Angel gritted his teeth, looked up with difficulty, and uttered the word to Sanders:
“Yes.”
The sound fell.
Sanders smiled. “Yes.”
Flora looked at Angel and became more intimate because of the decision he had made.
And all the people present, except for the regret on the faces of people from White Coral Floating Island College, these people looked directly at Angel’s eyes, and all of them became serious.
Before entering Barbie’s Restaurant, the teenager might have just been a lucky person who wouldn’t be taken seriously at all. But in just half an hour, the status of this teenager has risen because of the name of his mentor, and no one will look down upon him anymore. Even if he is still an ordinary person now, in the future, no one can tell what will happen.
The story has good story building and the flow of the story is excellent.
But on the other hand, the MC’s persona is just too shallow and meek.
He spends all his time holed up in a room reading books, he follows what the adults say like a lost pup.
It’s not the first time he makes a decision based on his fear rather than his will. He’s scared of what the result would be if he refused Sanders, so he submitted.
For most of the novel now, the one leading the story wasn’t the Main Character, it was the author who stood behind the MC like a shadow and used the word “fate” to control the MC’s will.
I also agree that the MC isn’t a cookie-cutter ‘Brood Stallion Defying the Heavens’ MC, Nero. Such a refreshing change of pace!
