"Ice Death School", Sephonie Academy
In July, most Academy enter the summer vacation stage.
"Anali, where are you going to play during the holidays?"
Several girls wearing black Academy uniforms walked together to discuss the vacation. One of the girls was petite and had curved corners on her head. She was a rare Orc student.
"I'm going to go back to Asura District to have a look." the girl replied.
"Well, of course we know you are going back, but do you have any plans after that?" the companion asked.
"Uh, no plan."
Anali shook her head. She didn't know where she was going to play. She just felt that there were still many gaps between herself and other students in the Academy. If she had time during the holidays, she would definitely have to make up classes and study.
"Well, why not come with us and go to the southern seaside for vacation, where there is plenty of sunshine and beautiful waves."
"This..." Anali showed some hesitation.
"If I miss it this year, it won't be fun to go there after Season of Sinking Fog arrives. It will always be gray and cloudy." The classmate persuaded again.
"Then I'll go too, but..." Anali thought for a while and then answered.
"But I might need to save some money." She is considered to be one of the poorer freshmen.
"Ah, don't worry about this, we'll just pay for it." For a few students who were born into noble families, the cost of traveling was only a drizzle, which was really not worth mentioning.
"This..." Although she didn't have to pay her own money, Anali's face turned a little red and she felt a little ashamed, but she also said over and over again in her heart that it was best not to refuse her companion's proposal at this time, otherwise it would ruin everyone's fun.
"Thank you." Finally, she said these words with embarrassment.
"Keke, it's nothing, we are all classmates."
Just like that, after agreeing on a departure time with his companion, Anali got on the train returning to Asura District.
For her, she can no longer return to the hometown she remembered when she was a child. There are no family members there, and the entire village has been abandoned. Returning there has no other meaning except to see the grass growing there.
On the contrary, Asura District carries many beautiful memories of her, as well as those familiar and close people.
Sitting on the train, Anali recalled every bit of life in Asura District, and gradually looked forward to seeing each other again during this holiday.
One year has passed since she was officially admitted to Ice Death School's "Sephonie Academy" last year.
Originally, this matter was to be reported to Hedra, who took care of her a lot, but last year, the other party became extremely busy because he took over Mishir District, and became a well-known big shot in the Mage Alliance. With such a huge gap in identity and status, she did not dare to contact Hedra rashly, so as not to disturb the other party.
Sitting on the train, Anali was reminiscing about the past. At this time, a train attendant came by carrying a food box and asked the passengers if they wanted to buy it. Because she was not hungry, Anali did not speak, but her eyes were immersed in the distant scenery outside the window, but the flight attendant still placed a food box in front of her.
"I didn't order lunch." Anali shook his head.
"Another passenger ordered it for you." The flight attendant pointed to the front of Anali, where there was a waving figure.
"Can we talk together?" He came over and sat down opposite Anali.
"Actually, I am also Orc." After saying that, the rather young-looking student took off his hood, revealing a pair of black, brown, and white Orc prick ears.
This is the symbol of Orc, which also means that the Orc bloodline in his body is related to "wolf".
In the next few minutes, the student Orc, who was also looking at the same youth, introduced his name, Academy where he is now, and some of the problems he encountered in life.
"Currently, among the Alliance and Academy, Orc is still a minority, so we must unite." His name is Yatos, and he is currently studying at "Jelais Academy", which is also a member of "Lightning School".
"I don't quite understand what you mean." Anali looked at the other party.
"No, you know." The other party shook his head.
"Of course you will understand, because you were admitted to the Sephonie Academy of "Ice Death School". With your IQ and understanding ability, it is impossible not to understand what I am talking about. It's just that you are hesitant now and don't want to make it clear." He pointed out Anali's true thoughts.
"You have too much hope and closeness to the Alliance that you shouldn't have. You think you have integrated into it and can live a good life in the future, right?" The other party's words gradually became more radical.
"These are all illusions. If you think about it carefully, has there ever been an Orc sage from Seventh Order in the history of the Alliance? No."
"Other than these, what about the master-level character Sixth Order?"
"At present, the total number of masters in the Alliance is only more than 400..." The other party continued to describe the current situation of Orc in the Alliance. "We need to unite to fight this situation. Only members from Orc can also hold the highest position, in order to eliminate this injustice in status."
Anali now understands the other party's intention. If it were a few years ago, she would definitely agree excitedly, but now, she is cautious about it.
During the second half of the train journey, the other party kept instilling this concept into Anali, but unfortunately the pink-purple-haired girl Orc never accepted it. As the train entered the station and was about to get off, Yatos told Anali an astonishing news.
"Do you know why I have to go out of my way to persuade you and not give up even at great risk?" Yatos approached Anali's ear and lowered his voice.
"Have you not noticed that you have never grown taller, and that the corners on your head are unevenly larger and smaller?"
"Do you really think it's just a difference in growth?"
"Orc originated from the ancient Wizard's desire to obtain the power of "Primal Beast", and then transplanted various ancient blood powers, and suffered various eliminations and contempt in the following thousands of years."
"The Orc with slight flaws and weak strength have basically been eliminated in this long period of time. The Orc that can survive now are born with stronger bodies than ordinary people, and it is impossible to have such obvious disadvantages."
"You are a survivor of Mage's cruel bloodline experiment. Why do you let yourself forget this fact?" This sentence struck Anali like a thunderbolt in her heart, leaving her frozen in place. The almost forgotten scenes from the past appeared in her mind again.
The tragedies of familiar family members and companions, as well as the despair she had experienced, hit her again.
"You should not betray yourself and think of your mission and the hatred you carry." Those words were like a cold snake, surrounding Anali's ears until she stepped off the train and stood on the platform of the station, standing still for a long time.
