Chapter 299: The beginning of school and Caesar
in front of the audience.
Only a few old students from each college attended the sorting ceremony.
At the long table of Chaos College, under the leadership of several old students, the freshmen who had been assigned to Chaos College began to applaud and cheer enthusiastically to welcome Ricardo to his seat.
Ricardo walked towards the long table in the back.
Just when he was about to walk to the long table belonging to Chaos Academy.
On both sides of the front of the long table, several old students from Chaos Academy stood up respectfully and saluted him.
This etiquette is generally used in the wizarding world to express respect for people who are knowledgeable but whose identity is not well defined. In some cases, this etiquette will be used specifically to pay tribute to wizard scholars.
There were seniors and seniors among the old students. The salutes of these people immediately surprised many freshmen and old students who were watching. At the same time, they aroused strong curiosity... What is the situation... Why are those people from Chaos Academy already at the sixth level or near level
? A seventh-level top elite student actually salutes a new student who has just entered school?
Amid people's curiosity and from the crowd of teachers who were watching, a piece of news immediately spread:
Ricardo is the lord of the castle!
He is the owner of the recently added Honeysel series castle in the Charles River Valley and Honeysel Castles!
…This news reached the ears of teachers and students who had heard about it, and it immediately caused a sensation.
Some teachers and students who had no idea what the Lord of the Castle meant, or who had only heard sporadic rumors, immediately started asking people around them!
"Lord of the Castle!? What is this?"
"...Wait, you mean, a castle like Honeysel Wizarding University can be occupied by a wizard alone? And this freshman Ricardo occupied one alone, How did he do it?"
"Purify the evil realm? Did he bring it into the Charles River Valley after purifying the evil realm? Isn't there the castle that the wizard scholars tried to rob? I heard that in Honey Among the Seer Castles, there are some unusual wizards in the castles. They can play a big role in the Wizarding War, but they are absolutely unscrupulous in order to achieve certain goals..." Everyone was talking about it
.
After the Star Observation Tower Ceremony in the Big Library before the start of the semester, Ricardo was taken by Demps and moved directly to the University Castle. Although many people saw it at the time, the freshmen in the Big Library and most of the castles The wizard did not witness it with his own eyes.
Only a few of them knew the whole story later through hearsay about what happened that day.
If Professor Lockhart, the dean of Hero Academy, had not made a big fool of himself that day, the spread of the matter might have been slower.
"He is actually... the Lord of the Castle!? According to rumors, if Ricardo can hold the castle, he is probably a wizard scholar..." "Wizard Scholar!" "
A
person who is promoted to a wizard scholar before he enters school... is a monster. "?"
On the stage, the next new student began to go to the crystal ball brain to perform the sorting ceremony.
Phoenix continued to announce the results of the sorting.
His loud voice masked many whispers.
However, in the entire auditorium, waves of people continued to turn their attention to Ricardo.
However, the exposure of this information is not complete. After all, there were too many celebrities at the sorting ceremony...
"Nero Claudius, Heavenly Punishment Academy!"
"Another genius who has mastered the totem of law since the beginning of school! "
At this time, Phoenix seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. He directly read out Nero's talent during the sorting ceremony.
Ricardo saw Nero, who was 1.68 meters tall with blond hair and green eyes. After testing the crystal ball, he glanced provocatively at Caesar in the stands.
Ricardo could feel that Nero's mental power and law inscriptions had reached the level of a wizard, and all that was left was to wait for the water of Asu to undergo its final transformation.
If you don't consider the purple flower card, I'm afraid Nero is a genius better than Nono, Taylor, etc.
Nero's action of provoking Caesar directly caused Caesar among the onlookers to roar in anger.
Ricardo already knew from the Star Observation Tower Ceremony that Caesar, as the student union president of Wizarding University, was already known as a genius who was rare in several years. He defeated the Gaia Lionheart Club at Hogwart a few months ago. After becoming the president, his reputation has reached its peak.
Many elite wizard students in the school have joined the student union.
In the student union, there are many fanatics who have a strong sense of belonging to this kind of student organization.
He is the kind of person who gets excited and even bursts into tears when he mentions some beautiful organization-related slogans.
Caesar turned a blind eye to Nero's provocation.
He closed his eyes in disdain.
His long blond hair, the tail of his evening gown spread out, and his domineering posture made him feel as if the spotlight of the audience was always shining on him.
Next to him, Floya of the Veela race and Melody Susie sat on both sides, which only added to his aura.
…Nero calmly walked off the stage.
In the process, he looked deeply at Ricardo.
For Ricardo, his eyes were relatively calm.
Ricardo knew that the other party had joined the chat group after the last ceremony and had also participated in the previous trading activities of the chat group.
Although this kind of transaction did not improve the other party's wealth level much, it still increased the other party's trust in itself.
In addition, Nero was also a strong admirer at heart, a guy who believed that his opponent would only respect him if he was qualified and talented. The strength that Ricardo had shown before clearly surpassed him, and it was a transcendence with gaps.
This made Ricardo perhaps the only one of his peers who was convinced by Nero.
…
The sorting ceremony proceeds gradually.
In the end, Nono was also admitted to the Chaos Academy, while Taylor was admitted to the Academy of Punishment. Enlos, whom he had seen on the dock before, was admitted to the Academy of Gaia, while Marco and Kaifu, two vampires from Romania, were admitted to the Academy of Chaos. It's Everlasting Life Academy.
These four major colleges, that is, the upper four colleges, and the remaining four colleges of Honeycell have a clear lead in terms of basic strength.
Many geniuses who recognize the four major ways of the House of Commons will choose to attend Hogwart University instead of Honeysell.
"Next, there will be a sumptuous dinner. Our cute little goblin friends will bring you sumptuous food. They are the hardest workers of Honeysel and the blood of Honeysel Castle Group! In fact, The goblins have arranged the food on your table in advance, but because of the spell effect on the long table, it cannot be seen temporarily..." On the stage, after
a series of traditional ceremonies such as the performance of the school song, the principal, Professor Dempsey, began Announcing the start of the freshman banquet, "Now..."
Dempsey took out his magic wand, and then said four weird words:
"Retarded, fat, weird, freak!" The
Latin translation of these four weird goblin names means "May Merlin bless you."
With this opening speech came the end. On the eight long tables, sumptuous and exquisite dishes immediately appeared. Many of the delicacies were sealed with the iron pot lids that the little goblin was carrying before. These iron pot lids were like lit lanterns, one by one. was opened and then disappeared.
Various barbecue delicacies appeared under the lid of the iron pot: roasted suckling pig, stack of tomahawk steaks, prosciutto and pork from Italy, lamb... Throughout the
auditorium, the first-year students began to enjoy the banquet delicacies.
"Little wizards, after the meal, the college prefects at each long table will take you to the dormitories of each college... I wish you a good night today!" After Professor Dempsey finished speaking, he disappeared
. In situ.
As the principal left, the atmosphere of the banquet became more enthusiastic.
The freshmen of each college exchanged information with their classmates and classmates at the same table, introduced, and shared... Some people used knives and forks very flexibly, and they cut the iron pot exposed
under the lid accurately and quickly. Cuts of meat, some waving magic wands, using tricks learned at home to show how to eat better...
This
atmosphere lasted for a long time.
At the long table of Chaos Academy, many people were asking about Ricardo.
As the owner of Honeysel Castle that many people had just discussed, many young wizards were full of curiosity...
As the banquet came to an end.
There was a noise from the other side of Tianpu Academy.
At this time, many teachers who were watching during the sorting ceremony had already left.
Some bystanders from the student union had already gathered behind Caesar.
And Caesar, at this time, was walking to the long table of Tianpu Academy.
He seemed to say hello to his fellow Roman man Nero, but the two of them were obviously unhappy there.
Ricardo was not surprised by this situation.
During his apprenticeship in the Wizarding Continent for more than ten years, he had seen many similar scenes.
After Caesar's interlude with Nero, he actually walked towards Ricardo.
Nono's position was diagonally opposite to Ricardo. When she saw this scene, she glanced at Ricardo.
Ricardo thought of what Taylor had said before, that both Taylor and Nono were invited to join the student union.
He felt the slight malice of a few followers in the crowd behind him.
After wiping his fingers with a napkin, Ricardo finished chewing the meat in his mouth and took a sip of red wine.
The red wine in the glass is bottomed out.
Ricardo put down his glass of wine.
At this time, Caesar's voice came from beside him.
"Mr. Ricardo, I am very happy to see you today. I have already heard from Melody about your previous ceremony at the Star Observation Tower and your appearance in the Castle of Evil. I am able to see such a talented wizard like you. , even my fellow countryman Nero rarely lowered his head, so excited! With a steady stream of geniuses like you emerging, Honeysel can continue to prosper..." Ricardo had just put down his words at this time
. Wine glass, I heard the ramblings of the popular student union president of Honeysel.
He saw that the first-year students beside him had already stood up on their own initiative.
It seemed that many people recognized that this was the student union of Wizarding University, so they subconsciously wanted to give each other more respect.
"Thank you!"
Ricardo thanked the other party first, and then asked, "What advice does President Caesar have now?"
Ricardo did not get up in a hurry, but just turned sideways and looked into the other party's eyes.
At this time, Caesar had already waved his hand and told the freshmen around him to sit down.
"Haha, I like smart people. Yes, I'm here to invite you to join the student union. With your talent in suppressing Nero, you are destined to be the number one in this class. You join the student union. After the inspection period, I I will promote you to vice president. When I graduate, you will be the most powerful competitor for the student union president!"
Caesar sent out an invitation, and his invitation made the freshmen next to him widen their eyes.
Everyone around him cast envious glances at Ricardo. At this time, because someone had stood up and sat down, and there were many people gathered around the long table and around Caesar.
Under this situation, Caesar's invitation seemed to be a general trend.
There is no mandatory statement, but the invisible pressure is faintly exerted on another center of the crowd.
"President Caesar, have you heard about some research groups of Professor McGregor, the dean of Chaos College?"
Ricardo was obviously unhappy when he saw this situation.
If it were an ordinary student and he refused such a public invitation, his subsequent student career at Wizarding University would probably not be very good.
"Huh?"
Caesar was a little surprised that Ricardo didn't agree immediately. "I've heard a few things. In fact, the Miss Melody next to me is the granddaughter of Professor Macquarie..." "Okay." Ricardo
nodded
. "Maybe you don't know that Professor McGregor's research group has some PhDs who focus on the study of secular technology. They have recently used some means of secular technology to create something called a chat group, similar to a trading platform. On it, wizards Students at the university can share their needs and trade with each other. In the past few years, this chat group has benefited many people, including some wizards from the student union..." "I have also been involved in some of
this research group. Work, actually, I want to take this opportunity to invite President Caesar to lead the student union and the research group to cooperate. As the leader, I can serve on both sides at the same time, so that more teachers and students in the school can join the chat group model, so that more people can gain wealth appreciation from transactions..."
Ricardo looked at Melody behind Caesar, "Miss Melody is also in Professor McGree's research group, and she should know that Dr. Tang Qiu has passed I have made a lot of money from my chat group activities... I think that for wizards to practice, they must first ensure sufficient resources... Miss Meredy can testify that as long as the seniors of the student union can participate in the chat group, they will definitely be able to make money in a short time. There will be some benefit within..."
Caesar did not expect that Ricardo not only did not immediately agree or refuse, but directly proposed a cooperation plan.
This cooperation plan, while Ricardo only exposed some of his social connections, put him and Caesar in the position of equal partners.
And as soon as Ricardo finished speaking, some old students who had been crowding behind the student union team suddenly showed expressions of interest on their faces.
Although Caesar did not turn his head, he felt some subtle changes in the atmosphere.
A tough opponent.
he thought subconsciously.
