Sheldon takes Merlin to and from school every day. There are very few children who live in the Vatican and can pass the Central Academy of Magic in the City of God, and most of them cannot go to school. Merlin is obviously one of the lucky ones. Although Lilac Street is not in the Vatican

In the center of the city, it only takes more than half an hour to go to school by horse carriage.

Sheldon insists on accompanying Merlin to school every day, but Merlin needs to go home by himself after school because the chamber of commerce where Sheldon works gets off work late and he cannot pick up his children in time. Merlin is very sensible and can use what his father has given him.

He took a carriage ride with his pocket money and returned home by himself. In his wallet was the key to the house on Lilac Street. When he got home, Sheldon would always take out a hot meal and invite Merlin to come in and eat.

The amount of food was obviously prepared for the two of them, and it was gradually increasing according to Merlin's growth. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed, and Merlin had grown taller, but among the age groups in school, his height was only

It can be regarded as above average. With the help of nightmares, the magic power in Merlin's body also skyrocketed at a terrifying speed. The flowers in his soul also bloomed one after another due to constant deception. After all, his identity is Marin to the outside world.

, his name itself is false.

"I will come back later today. You can use my pocket money to go out for a meal, Merlin."

"What is Dad going to do?"

Before leaving, Sheldon made a somewhat unusual suggestion that he would go home later today: "For work matters, my boss said that if you work overtime, you can get a bonus. There are a lot of things going on in the Chamber of Commerce recently."

"Okay," Merlin said with a smile, "I want to eat the barbecue restaurant in the west!"

"Don't get upset." Although Sheldon has never seen Merlin get upset or even get any disease, he has always been like this, "I will be back before eight o'clock in the evening, don't worry. What do you want to eat?

Any snacks? I can buy them for you."

"I want to eat the butterflies from Sisyphus Cake Shop! I want the kind with double frosting!" Merlin and Sheldon walked out of the house together. As they walked to the intersection to wait for the carriage, Merlin was having endless hallucinations about snacks. He liked to eat them.

snack.

"Any more?"

"It is said that the cake shop has a new product called chili fondant."

"Don't you like spicy food?" Sheldon raised his eyebrows, "Don't be unable to eat it by then, I can help you solve it?"

"Just buy a little bit, just a little bit!" Merlin smiled, "There are also gummies, I want to eat gummies!"

"The originator of tooth decay...Okay, I will buy it, but don't eat too much." Sheldon yawned. The briefcase in his hand seemed to be thicker than before, "First semester

It's going to end soon, remember to prepare for the exam. Don't fail everything by then, and I won't see you studying hard at home."

Although Merlin has a poor foundation and doesn't like listening to lectures in class, he doesn't hate reading. As long as he reads it two or three times, he can understand everything in the book: "I'm pretty good at studying!"

I did well in my previous exams!”

"Except for the history of Yaris." Sheldon interrupted Merlin, "You can ask the classmates in the class to give you tutoring. Didn't you say that Marshall is very good at studying? You can ask her to teach you." He said,

He took out two gold coins from his pocket and handed them to Merlin's hand: "You can also treat Marshall to a meal. I believe that as classmates, she will not refuse you. You are friends, right?"

"Actually, it's not very..." Merlin stared at the two gold coins in the center of his palm greedily, then he steeled himself and stuffed them into his bag, "Okay, I'll try to make an appointment with Marshall to a coffee shop tonight.

, let her give me history lessons."

"That's right! But at your age, I learned the best about the history of Yaris." Sheldon said, "Your magic power is excellent, but you are not very good at memorizing these things."

The first semester is about to pass. Although there is no end-of-school-year examination, the ensuing written examination and magic test still give students a headache. For the latter, Merlin can easily pass, although the level of magic he shows is also

He was just average in the class, but Sheldon told him not to show off his strength too much, so he did. In terms of written examinations, except for Yaris history, his scores were also ranked among the top fifteen in the class.

Lei Wei's grades were mediocre. Except for being first in the class in potions, he could only pass the grade in other areas. His grades were closely related to his usual lack of work. He spent all his spare time on discovering beauties.

Above. Marshall dislikes Lei Wei very much, but Lei Wei insists on clinging to Marshall. From Merlin's point of view, this is normal, after all, Marshall is quite beautiful.

Although Marshall cannot use magic, her written test scores are among the best, and her fighting ability in the magic practice class cannot be underestimated. Compared to Merlin's low profile, Marshall is a high-profile challenge to all the students in the class who have self-righteously provoked her in front of her.

, and soon defeated them one by one. All this was related to her extreme hard work. When Merlin couldn't learn, when he turned around, Marshall was either closing his eyes and concentrating, or clutching the book and staring closely.

There is no other choice as to what is written in the book.

She seemed to have a secret, but Merlin didn't want to dig into it, he didn't like to meddle.

And the "student least worth worrying about" unanimously voted by the teachers is none other than Allen. Whether it is his extremely smooth dealing style or his profound knowledge - he can even compete with Lei Wei in potions.

, or his amazing magic control, he is the best in the class.

And these three people, one man and two women, are now neatly arranged in Merlin's friend list.

Of course, although he has no enemies in the class and is very low-key, he still has his own preferences. He doesn't like monitor Hume because she talks too much, likes to report to the teacher, and takes everything into her hands without thinking.

, making everyone in the class fearful. Moreover, this guy likes to please the teachers, but these teachers are nothing

A lamp that saves oil cannot get in. Although Hume was not able to get any privileges from the teacher, she seemed to pretend to have some rights and liked to habitually instruct others to do this and that. Although everyone was very fond of her

She turned a blind eye to her behavior, but at least it was a classmate relationship, so she could tolerate it. At least she had done a lot of things for the class, so it was hard for everyone to say anything.

But the three girls who bullied Marshall's classmate before seemed to use their considerable backgrounds to dominate the class. This matter was not a big deal. Although they were caught off guard by Marshall, it did not mean that they would not know how to do it.

Find someone else to start with. Fortunately, Merlin's presence in the class is relatively low. Perhaps it's because he has a relatively strong talent for practical combat. It would be one thing if he was broken.

"Marshall, my father wants you to help me tutor Yaris history. He gave me a small amount of money. If you are willing, I can treat you to dinner and then find a place to tutor me. Is that okay?"

"Tonight..." Marshall straightened his hair and finally smiled, "Okay, I can't refuse free food, right?"

"You're not short of money, right..." Merlin was packing his schoolbag. Most of the teachers today were teaching review classes. During the review class on the history of the Yaris, Merlin finally managed not to fall asleep, "You

What do you want to eat?”

Marshall had gotten acquainted with Merlin during this period, and he didn't pay much attention to etiquette: "I want to eat meat, not sweet, but salty. I think the black pepper in the 'Wild Boar Restaurant' east of Yaris

The pork chop is delicious.”

"Okay, are you living on campus?"

"There is no rule that students who live on campus can only stay on campus."

"You are much more cheerful than when school first started." The two of them packed their schoolbags and walked outside the school.

Marshall yawned: "Maybe, I thought I couldn't make friends in school."

"As long as they are beautiful girls, Lei Wei will make friends with them, don't worry." Merlin joked.

Marshall stuck out his tongue, completely different from when he first transferred to the school: "I don't like him."

"What kind of 'like' is it?" Merlin grinned and smiled shamelessly.

"I don't like either. You've made me unhappy. I want to eat more tonight."

"My father gave me two gold coins, which must be enough for me."

"Two coins?" Marshall's eyes widened, "It's not a small amount." But the money was not a big deal to her. "Your father looks very rich."

"Maybe, he works in a big chamber of commerce now." Merlin said casually, "Where is your father?"

"My father passed away." Marshall lowered his voice, "He was very good to me before."

"I'm very sorry for your father's death." He saw Marshall's fists gradually clenching, "At least you still have someone to treat you to food and ask you to help him with his classes."

"Tch." Marshall rolled his eyes, "I think you nerds can't beat me and your grades are not as good as mine, so you might as well go to the Knights College next door for a semester."

"Haha," although Merlin has not yet fought against Marshall, he believes that with his own strength, he can still beat her. "Some spells are quite powerful."

"I have my magic sword, and my sword also has magic power."

"Then you should go to the Knight Academy."

Marshall suddenly stopped. She was stunned for a moment, biting her lower lip tightly, then smiled brightly and followed him: "My family won't let me go."

"Then go secretly." Merlin said with a smile, "See if there is a chance to get in."

"Only fools and lunatics would risk breaking into these two colleges."

Merlin put on a smile and said, "Then let's go eat."

"You seem very boring at this time."

"You don't look like a child at this time."

"You're like an old man."

"You're like an old woman."

"Get out!" Marshall patted Merlin's shoulder and smiled happily. They had walked a certain distance before they knew it, and the warm sunset gave off the few bright lights in early winter.

"Be careful!" Merlin saw Marshall step on a stone, and watched helplessly as she hit a dark door beside her. He wanted to pull it, but failed to catch up.

There was only a loud "clang" sound. Fortunately, Marshall fell against the door, otherwise her clothes would have been scratched by the rough stone path.

"Ouch!"

"Ah!" Marshall jumped up from the door, Merlin was also startled, "Wha...what is it?"

"You guys bump into each other in a hurry, I'm such an old bone..."

"Is it you?" Marshall then took a look at the whole door. The person who spoke was obviously the door latch on Art Street. "I didn't expect to come here again after wandering around for a long time."

"Talking door bolt..." Merlin rubbed his chin, "It's fun."

"What fun! I am a great -" The old man on the door's mouth was once again covered by a wrinkled hand. After the old man struggled for a while, he suddenly became expressionless and his tone changed.

Very strangely, "Answer me a question, and if the answer satisfies me, I will let you enter the Art Street."

"Art Street?" Merlin had never heard of this street.

Marshall gave a brief answer: "The residence of a great artist, this street has been there for two or three hundred years."
