Chapter 186: Rich People and Poor People
"Okay, it's decided that it's you three!"
The three people Kira finally decided on were the ones with the highest magical talent in the orphanage.
The first child is the girl who regards Kana as her life goal and is described as "hopeless" by Kira. Her name is Akasi, she is 10 years old, and is Kana's apprentice. She is currently using a magic card deck given to her by Kira.
The second child chosen by Kira is called Ika, a boy of 11 years old. He uses fire magic and is the middle school boy who is obsessed with "Magic Sphere".
Perhaps influenced by this book, he has a natural talent in fire and can now use several different functions of fire. The way he used magic made Kira almost think he was another Rabbit Pill.
The last boy is called Kuwanmaru. He is the kid who said when Kira went to teach them that he "insists on getting up at 6 o'clock every day, going to bed at 11 o'clock, doing sit-ups, push-ups, long-distance running..." He is 12 years old this year and uses fist magic.
The next day, Kira went to the orphanage and informed the director of the matter. The director naturally strongly supported it. If possible, who wouldn't want these children to live a better life?
The children who were selected were overjoyed, and those who were not selected were not depressed. Instead, they naturally congratulated their friends.
The people in this world, especially the citizens of Magnolia and the orphans who grew up under Kira's care, have relatively positive outlooks. There is no such intrigue for a position as in the novels. Instead, they use the little time left to say goodbye.
Afterwards, Kira found Disper chatting and drinking with others in the guild tavern.
"Hey, Disper, I have to go to participate in the admissions . The business of the store will be left to you during this period!"
He has been a hands-off boss for a long time and is very skilled at it.
"Demisol College?" Disper turned around, a little surprised, "Are you talking about that...Demisol College?"
Seeing his expression, Kira nodded proudly and said, "That's right, you knew it. I was thinking of introducing it to you..."
Before he could finish his words, Disper turned around and left Kira with the back of his head: "I've never heard of it! Where is that? Do you know?"
He was asking Gray and Cana who were drinking next to them, and Juvia who was beside them and filling Gray's glass with wine. Kira noticed that they were giggling, and he immediately became furious. These guys have been getting more and more arrogant lately!
"No... I don't know..."
“Never heard of it!”
"Juvia thinks it sounds familiar."
Kira pointed at Gray and Cana and said, "These two guys have lived in the guild since they were young. How would they know this? Demisol Academy is the most famous magic school in the Kingdom of Fiore!"
"Oh." Dispere was uninterested. "Tell me why?"
"Didn't I just tell you? I've been invited to take part in their admissions assessment, and then I'll have to give speeches and teach for at least a month. You'll have to run the store while I'm away!"
Disper narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long while, he asked, "Well, watching the store...anything else?"
Hearing this, Kira suddenly felt happy. Does this guy want to do more work?
"You can choose to do a general cleaning, clean the store, polish the glass, wipe the dust off the cabinets and shelves, organize the books and props, and also..."
"I reject them all!"
"What did you say?" Kira's face suddenly changed.
"I, Disper, love nothing more than to say no to people like you!"
Gray and Cana looked at each other in tacit understanding.
"This sentence sounds so familiar, why do I feel like I've heard it somewhere before..."
"I feel the same way..."
Kira looked a little anxious: "You don't want to work in the store anymore? Don't forget who took you in when you were down and out?"
Disper said firmly, "I'm sorry, I have money now!"
"So what if you have money? Can you do whatever you want just because you have money?"
"I'm sorry, but money really can do whatever you want..."
Kira seemed to be furious. He pounded the table, picked up the wine glass on the table, drank it in one gulp, then turned and left.
On the side, Gray, Cana, and Juvia watched the two perform in silence with expressionless faces before they complained aloud.
"These two guys don't even need to use secret codes when acting now..."
"You even drank my glass of wine. That's too much!"
"This guy, Disper, had a normal personality when he first came here, but it's only been a short time and he has become like Kira."
"After all, they are homologues, so it's normal for them to become like this..."
…
On the other side, Kira was walking along the river in Magnolia, thinking about his future arrangements.
Disper refused to watch the house, and there was nothing he could do. After all, he was not a real worker. Moreover, he had made a lot of money in the previous guild competition, so his tone was tough now.
"I'm so envious... Hey, is that Lucy?"
In the setting sun, the river that runs through Magnolia sparkled. On the shore, Lucy was arguing loudly with a figure wearing a tattered coat and carrying a sack on his back.
Out of curiosity, Girado listened to a few words and understood the general situation.
To put it simply, the Heartfilia Group went bankrupt and all the family properties were sold. Lucy's old father Jude is now penniless and has to go to work in the Commercial Guild in Akalifa City, but he lacks the money for the trip. He has no other choice but to come to his daughter to borrow money!
Kira suddenly thought of a joke: [I am the boss of the Heartfilia Group. I went bankrupt due to the failure of my railway business. Now I am penniless. I hope someone with a long-term vision can v me 100,000 J. When I make a comeback, I will share my wealth with you! ]
Thinking of this, Kira couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When he saw Lucy's reaction in the comics, he thought 100,000 J was a lot of money. But later he found out that it was just one month's rent for the guild's girls' dormitory. And the scene changed, and their team received a "capture thief" mission, and each person received 400,000 J. So Lucy was not short of money, but Jude's attitude was very bad, which caused Lucy's accumulated negative emotions from childhood to adulthood to explode, and that's why she drove him away.
Kira remembered that the comics explained at the end that because the old father was used to living a wealthy life and had a unclear understanding of money, he asked to borrow 100,000 J for travel expenses.
"Based on Lucy's reaction, someone who didn't know would think that her father was borrowing 1 million J..."
While Kira was silently complaining, Lucy had already scolded Jude away and was standing there alone, crying sadly.
According to some scripts, Kira should rush up to hug Lucy at this time, take advantage of her inner breakdown, give her a warm and strong hug, then touch the golden hair on her head and say a few words of comfort, or use words to make up a story for her, trigger emotional resonance, harvest a wave of goodwill, and then take her home, and finally...
So Kira decisively chose to turn around and leave, casting a long shadow in the sunset.
"When a girl cries, never expose her, but pretend you didn't see it, so that she can retain a little dignity. Haha... I did this question in fifth grade in my previous life!"
Kira's tone was quite regretful. Back then, he made the wrong choice, which led to the girl drifting further and further away from him. He would not make the same mistake again!
Three days later, Kira took the three children from the orphanage and set off for the Demisool Magic Academy.
