The Art and Power of Language

"As expected, experience matters."

Recalling the scene just now, Bell couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

You see, he had put his brain to its limit, carefully analyzing every word the other person said, but in the end, he couldn't find a single problem.

So this is the art of language?

While reminiscing, Bell walked back to his sister and girlfriend.

"Gege, what do those gentlemen want with you?"

Upon seeing her Gege finally return, Shanna immediately asked him with concern.

Because she was new to the area and unfamiliar with everything around her, the girl was still worried emotionally, even though she rationally knew that those people wouldn't do anything bad to her Gege.

"It's nothing, we just chatted for a bit and got to know each other."

Bell casually ruffled Shanna's hair.

He didn't reveal the "malicious" actions of the Academy's higher-ups. He didn't want his sister and girlfriend to worry themselves sick.

"Oh, right, the Dean wants me to say a few words later. Hermione, can you help me think of something?"

Just thinking about it gives Bell a headache.

Earlier, when he got up to leave at the end of the conversation, Dean Han suddenly told him to say a few words at the opening ceremony.

After all, this is the first time that the China Cultivation World and the British Wizarding World have held an exchange study program. At such a memorable moment, Dean Han hopes that Bell can give the students a brief introduction to the Magical World and wizards.

Faced with such a troublesome matter, Bell naturally declined without hesitation.

But as the saying goes, you can't fight city hall.

Under Dean Han's repeated demands, Bell had no choice but to shamefully submit.

Fortunately, Bell wasn't entirely unprepared. With his academically gifted girlfriend by his side, preparing a speech was a piece of cake.

At that time, all he needs to do is close his eyes and memorize the script.

What? You're asking him why he closed his eyes?

Just kidding. Being stared at by thousands of students is a heavy burden that his thin shoulders, barely 15 years old, couldn't possibly bear.

So let's just avoid seeing it.

As it turns out, unlike the unreliable Bell, the reliable Hermione never disappoints.

In just ten minutes, before the opening ceremony had even officially begun, Hermione had prepared a speech of over a thousand words for Bell.

Even this was the result of Bell's desperate attempts to stop it.

If Hermione is allowed to do whatever she wants, no one else will have a chance to speak.

There's no way around it; unlike Bell, this "fake" Britain, Hermione is a native-born British Wizards. Her love for Britain and the British Wizarding World is something Bell, this "traitor," can't compare to.

Upon learning that Bell would be introducing his homeland to all the students of China Academy at the opening ceremony, Hermione's fighting spirit almost materialized into flames.

If it weren't for her status, she would have kicked that unreliable guy Bell aside and taken the field herself.

"Bell, this is such a solemn occasion, such an important moment, such a great mission. You absolutely, positively, mustn't mess around on stage, do you hear me!"

Since going on stage herself was impossible, Hermione had no choice but to once again unleash her signature lecturing mode, giving Bell a long lecture and brainwashing.

"Okay, okay~ I really know~! Don't worry, I will read the entire script you prepared without missing a single word."

Bell, who was already having a headache from the group of old men and women at the Academy, felt like her head was going to explode from Hermione's nagging.

In just a short while, that sentence has been repeated no less than ten times.

"So you're the reincarnation of Tang Sanzang?!"

Bell was inwardly criticizing his girlfriend.

"Okay, that's good."

Nodding, Hermione saw that her brainwashing had worked well and reluctantly believed Bell.

"And also..."

"Hermione, the opening ceremony is about to begin, I need to hurry over and get ready."

After saying that, Bell didn't wait for Hermione's reply and ran towards the podium without looking back.

Thank God, he only just realized how kind and gentle the smiles of those old men and women were, and he couldn't wait to reunite with them!

"Bell! Remember to straighten your clothes before your speech! Also, speak loudly and pay attention to your posture!"

Watching Bell's retreating figure, Hermione called out a final, worried reminder.

"..."

Bell waved to those behind him and silently quickened his pace.

"Hahaha~! Pfft hahaha~!"

Seeing Bell's slightly disheveled figure, Luna, who had been quietly staying still, suddenly burst into laughter, for reasons unknown.

The Little Witch, who always did things her own way, wouldn't be like the two senior students next to her, biting her lip and pinching her legs, almost crippling herself, and not daring to let out even the slightest laugh.

She can laugh whenever she wants; that's part of her Wizarding Path!

By the way, when she doesn't want to smile, even if Merlin appears in front of her wearing stockings and performs a sexy dance, she can forget about making her smile!

Seeing Luna laughing so hard she was almost rolling on the ground, Hermione couldn't help but chuckle too.

My worries about the upcoming speech also dissipated considerably.

Roy and Bridget, these two seniors who had no senior demeanor whatsoever, were finally able to let go of their thighs, which were almost pinched purple, and their lips, which were almost bitten until they bled, and then they grinned.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was joyful.

Apart from that one little girl...

Shanna glared at Hermione with displeasure. There was just... no way to deal with this girl who dared to bully her Gege...

That's what's so infuriating!

The opening ceremony lasted for about an hour.

Actually, there wasn't much substantial content.

Aside from the usual platitudes and motivational quotes, the main purpose was to give the newly enrolled students a brief introduction to the history of the Academy.

I'll also brag a little about myself.

They would say things like, "Yandu Academy is the best Academy in the world! The other three Academy are rubbish! Everyone who gets into the Yandu Academy is incredibly lucky!"

Of course, the original words wouldn't be so straightforward, but that's the gist of it.

In response, Bell said he was extremely familiar with it.

The wizards back home loved to say that "Hogwarts is the best magic school in Britain."

As for the omitted modifier?

Don't you know efficiency is important these days? This is just a small matter, don't worry about it!
