Chapter 36 Leaving Home to Study
In addition to the principal, Alan's martial arts instructor Carter also wrote a letter of recommendation to his beloved disciple.
When he arrives at the Warlock Academy, if Alan is interested in continuing to learn magical martial arts.
You can take this letter and go find Instructor Carter's cousin.
This man is a mentor at the Warlock Academy. He and Carter share the same tauren descent and martial arts style.
Of course, this mentor's ability is far beyond Carter's reach.
Instructor Carter told Allen the truth.
He and his mentor were only distant cousins and had not communicated for many years.
After all, the gap in strength and status between the two sides is too big, they have no common interests, and there is no overlap in their social circles.
For Alan's sake, he made an exception and wrote a letter to his distant cousin, trying to curry favor with this wealthy relative.
After all, we are relatives, and I can expect them to take care of me.
But then again...
What if they don’t acknowledge us as their poor relative?
Serve cold.
So, Instructor Carter had to make things clear in advance.
Let Alan be prepared to be rejected.
Of course Alan knew.
Instructor Carter usually behaves in a bohemian manner, but he is actually a man with a strong self-esteem.
If I didn't really value myself, I wouldn't have written this letter.
Regardless of whether the matter succeeds in the end, it is rare that someone has such intention.
So he was grateful to Instructor Carter.
On the day of graduation, I specially got two bottles of fine wine from my father that he had collected for many years .
Given to Instructor Carter as a thank you gift.
During this period, Alan's parents had mixed feelings.
What parent in the world doesn’t want their children to become successful?
Of course his parents were very happy that their son had obtained a place to pursue further studies.
But when I thought about my thirteen-year-old son going to school far away and living alone, I couldn't help but feel worried.
His elder sister, Kelly, is also proud of his younger brother.
When it comes to missing her younger brother, Kelly misses him even more than her parents.
In private, she even asked Allen a ridiculous question.
"Can students of the Warlock Academy bring a babysitter?"
"If I could, I'd like to go with you."
"You just need to focus on your studies. Leave the housework such as washing and cooking to me."
"Sister! I'm not some rich young master who has everything handed to him. If you can take care of yourself, don't worry about me!"
Allen comforted his sister helplessly.
Kelly looked a little lonely when she heard him say that.
He was lost in thought for a long time, then spoke softly.
"Alan, I really hate myself for not living up to my expectations!"
“If only I had better qualifications and was more motivated.”
“Maybe there’s a chance to get a recommendation .”
"In that case, I can legitimately accompany you to the Warlock Academy, so that you won't be bullied or humiliated..."
As she spoke, Kelly's eyes turned red and her voice choked with sobs.
Alan felt very uncomfortable.
Although he is not Kelly's real brother, he is just a time traveler who has returned from a dead body.
Even though he and Kelly were together for only a short year.
But he has already regarded this beautiful and kind girl as his own sister and an irreplaceable treasure in his life.
As they were about to part, he felt reluctant to let go when he saw his sister expressing her true feelings.
So he held his sister's hand and took her into his arms.
"Kelly, take good care of your parents at home."
"As long as I have vacation, I will come back to visit you."
"Studying abroad is just an episode in life."
"One day I will return after completing my studies and be with you and my parents."
"Then our family will never be separated again!"
"Maybe, I can find a handsome guy in the academy who has excellent character, talent and family background, bring him home and make him your husband!"
Kelly was so amused by her brother's last words that she burst into laughter and punched him.
"Come on, I don't need you to help me find a man!"
"If you have the time, why don't you find yourself a girlfriend first!"
…
Autumn afternoon.
It's a nice day.
A group of lazy seagulls gathered on the pier to bask in the sun and talk about love.
Until they were startled by the sound of footsteps.
The footsteps came from far away.
A tall and straight young man, carrying a travel bag on his back, strode towards the pier with his long legs stretched out.
Stop and look at the horizon.
Waiting for the ship to pick you up.
The flaxen short hair shone with a gorgeous and deep golden-red luster under the afternoon sun.
When he just turned thirteen, his height grew to 1.86 meters.
He has a tall and strong figure, brimming with youthful vitality.
Alan bought a nautical map at the dock.
Take advantage of the free time while waiting for the boat to look through the nautical charts.
The island where Quint Port is located belongs to an autonomous region of the Southern Islands Federation.
The island covers an area of about 8,000 square miles and has a permanent population of less than 50,000.
From its inception, the South Island Federation was ruled by a council of several sorcerer families.
All the major families jointly invested in the establishment of the Warlock Academy.
The same is true of the South Island Federation's arch-enemy, the North Island Federation.
The warlock academies of the two major federations are also in a hostile relationship.
A loud whistle sounded from the harbor.
Alan put away the map and looked towards the direction where the whistle came from.
Between the sea and the sky, huge white sails flutter in the wind.
A three-masted sailing ship is slowly approaching the port.
On the deck stands a three-story bridge tower, which is quite spectacular.
I have to say, the Warlock Academy is really wealthy!
There are as many as twelve luxurious sailing ships like this one that are specially used to pick up newborns.
Twelve large ships, named after the constellations of the zodiac.
Every year, we pick up people from various federal islands along different routes.
The ship responsible for this route to Quinte Island is called "Libra".
The captain of the Libra, named Weber, is said to be a "storm wizard".
Two figures appeared on the balcony of the ship.
One of them was a burly middle-aged man.
He was wearing a military uniform, a cloak, a three-cornered hat, had a thick beard, and was holding a pipe in his hand.
Judging from his demeanor, he must be Captain Webb.
Next to the captain stood a beautiful girl.
The girl was wearing a bright red dress.
The hem of her ruffled skirt only reached her knees, revealing her white and tender calves. On her feet were a pair of black wedge-heeled short boots.
The girl's long hair with bangs is as bright red as her skirt , giving people a passionate and unrestrained impression.
Allen also noticed.
The red-haired girl was holding the captain's arm, pointing at herself on the shore and whispering with a smile.
Alan couldn't hear clearly what she was saying.
However, it was obvious that the girl in red had recognized him as the warlock apprentice recommended by Quint Island this year.
Commenting on his appearance and clothing taste.
According to convention, the college will specially arrange a senior student to serve as the so-called "life consultant" on every ship that picks up new students.
Responsible for leading the newcomers, answering various questions, and providing safety during the journey.
In Allen's opinion, the role of a life advisor is similar to that of a freshman counselor in college in his previous life .
The red-haired girl next to the captain should be the life consultant of the Libra.
The red-haired girl held the captain's arm.
Sometimes they would whisper and joke, with an intimate look.
Not avoiding other people's eyes at all.
Passersby couldn't help but speculate:
"That flirty girl is most likely the captain's mistress!"
