The Whispering Verses Chapter 2313: 1854 Summer Examination
Chapter 2313 Summer Examination of 1854
Before Shade left Moon Bay that night, Miss Sylvia and Miss Bernice also came to the manor.
Obviously, it was their agreement not to allow Shade to participate in Sunday's action. The witches didn't dislike Shade or deliberately show their temper, they just thought that Shade didn't need to do everything by himself.
For this reason, Shade could only agree to the current action plan, but in his mind he wanted to write faster when answering questions on Sunday and go to the battlefield as early as possible.
After returning home that night, Shade also told the ladies at home about his arrangements:
"For the next Friday and Saturday, in addition to going to Moon Bay every evening to check the situation, I will stay at home to prepare for the exam. Oh, Carina, this is what Tifa asked me to bring to you ”
He did not forget to take out a box of snacks that the maid asked him to bring:
"She said she did it herself."
"As expected of my apprentice."
The duchess smiled and said to Lesia beside her, and then reminded Shade:
"Also, you forgot to wipe off the lipstick mark Tifa left on your face."
"Oh!"
Shade hurriedly wiped it, and then heard the witch's laughter and Lesia's helpless voice:
"Xia De, there is nothing on your face. Didn't I say you are very clever and smart? Why can you even fall for this kind of trick?"
The witch stood up and sat next to Shade, hugged Shade's neck, and then said to her in a show-off manner:
"This is the spice of life. Even if Shade knows it's a trick, he has to fall for it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be fun to just say that he didn't do anything?"
"Boring."
The red-haired princess snorted, and then saw Miss Carina's arms wrapped around Shade's neck as if she was about to kiss Shade.
"Well. I plan to quit **** for a while before the exam ends."
Shad declared softly again. He had already said this to Luvia and Dorothy, but this was the first time he said it to Lesia and Carina.
And none of them had any surprised expressions:
"When we wrote to Luvia this morning to tell her that we were moving here temporarily, she said this in her reply, and Dorothy also mentioned to Lesia that you have been acting strange recently."
The Duchess said, patting the folds on her skirt, and then stretched out her hand to Lesia:
"Give it to me."
So Lesia took out a pen from her skirt pocket with a look of helplessness and handed it to her. The witch took it in her hand and said in an exaggerated way:
“Yeah~ it fell.”
With a bang, the expensive-looking pen fell to the ground. So the witch stood up quickly, turned her back to Shade, and bent down to pick up the pen.
Lecia looked at Shade with a smile:
"Quiting? Shade, you should just quit in your dreams."
Of course, that night, the three of them finished their various things in the study first, and then washed up and went to rest after ten o'clock.
For this reason, when Shade was woken up by little Mia's "meow" early on Friday morning, and then realized that he had a white arm on his left and right sides on his chest and was unable to get up, he was really shocked. I’m thinking about what I’ve been doing lately:
“Don’t I have to abandon distracting thoughts and study hard?”
Shad didn't lock little Mia in the closet last night because he wanted to test Lesia and Miss Carina's reaction to the cat looking at them at night. And when Shade asked this question on Friday morning, the ladies of the Cavendish family almost said in unison:
"Lock it up!"
So people can still understand each other in some aspects. For example, they all understand why Shade locks little Mia in the closet every time.
In short, on the following Fridays and Saturdays, Shade did not wander around Yuewan as promised, but instead studied carefully at home or helped Miss Carina handle some government documents.
He found that it was not difficult to become the duchess's clerk or political officer. The most difficult thing was actually gaining the trust to have access to those secrets.
“The secret of politics lies not in ability, but in relationships.”
During lunch on Friday, Shade suddenly said to little Mia, and Miss Carina, who was sitting next to him, ordered Lecia:
"Lecia, write this sentence down. You can say it suddenly when you are getting together with friends in the future, so that everyone will feel that you are the best!" br/>
Her Royal Highness the Princess did not pay attention to her.
Reviewing at home means having more time to deal with things that you have not had time to do recently. Of course, this does not refer to housework, the maids will not let Shade do it. He refers to cat washing.
As for washing the cat, Shade could actually see that little Mia was not afraid of water. Shade even guessed that the cat could swim, but it simply hated the very act of "bathing".
Xia De actually does not wash cats very frequently. At least he has not washed cats since the beginning of summer this year. When washing the cat that afternoon, there was another chase at home. Miss Carina went out to do errands, and only Lecia was at home. She watched Shade and the cat running around the house. Lou chased him to the third floor, and then from the third floor to the first floor.
Without using any supernatural powers, he relied solely on his speed and agility to finally block Mia in the kitchen on the first floor and capture her.
When Shade carried the cat back to the second floor and was about to enter the bathroom, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, asked:
"Need help?"
"No need, I don't understand what kind of prejudice Xiao Mia has against bathing."
"Meow~"
"Don't scream, I won't pity you."
Her Royal Highness the Princess hid her face behind the book again.
The next evening, I briefly went to Moon Bay. After making sure there was nothing important to deal with, Shade returned home and had dinner. Then it was a repeat of the day, with cat washing missing from Saturday's routine, but in the afternoon Shade went to Middlesbrough and spent a leisurely afternoon with Grace and Helen.
Having been busy in Yuewan lately, Xia De didn't take much time to spend with the Hongdie girls. Since the incident in the snow after the Green Lake incident, the relationship between the three has undergone a qualitative change. Grace and Helen are also family members to outsiders.
He mentioned Miss Elisa to them this afternoon:
"She also comes from the Fifth Era, but she has been sleeping and only woke up in the past few hundred years. However, she was born in the middle to late Fifth Era. I don't know if you have ever encountered her."
The girls in the white skirt and the black skirt looked at each other. As the older sister, Grace was obviously sending some signal to her younger sister, but Shade didn't understand what they were thinking.
On the other hand, when we went to Moon Bay after dinner on Saturday, although Miss Elisa had not arrived with Sister Devlin and Miss Aurora, Sirius, who happened to be at Belindle Manor, gave Shad a lot. Tickets:
"Starting next week, the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe will perform at the Eddington Theater in Yuewan City. Shade, don't you have many friends in Yuewan? You can give these to them."
"Will Miss Benenice and you perform on stage?"
"Of course not. Vanessa has not been on stage for many years. Although I am the deputy leader, I rarely perform on stage. I am mainly responsible for backstage management and financial work."
"So what's so good about this show?"
"You are really good at talking."
The young blond girl said with a smile, looked around to make sure no one was there, then held Shade's head and pressed him against the corridor wall. So the little unicorn who happened to be walking in the corridor happened to see this scene when he came over. It blinked blankly, turned around and left.
After the time passed by Saturday, it officially came to the 27th of the Thunder Moon, which is the last Sunday in July.
The two Cavendish and the maids at home left early that morning, while Dr. Schneider, Priest Augustus, Dorothy and Luvia, who were dressed very formally, left at eight in the morning. Arrive at Xia De's house on time.
In order to prevent accidents, the mermaid oil painting in the living room has been temporarily moved to the side bed by Shade. And when everyone sat down on the sofa in the living room, when Shade looked at his friends, he suddenly felt as if time had gone back a year.
Because this time last year, everyone was so nervous.
The exam started at nine o'clock in the morning that day, and the venue used was still Room 2 on the second floor. That room is now used as the entrance to the "Hall of the Secret Keepers", but these ancient places will not easily affect the projection ceremony, otherwise they would not be so hidden, so there is no need to worry about the "Hall of the Secret Keepers" being discovered by the professors.
Like last year's summer and winter exams, Dr. Schneider still asked Shade to put little Mia on the windowsill because he believed it could bring luck to people.
The seating ceremony began, and the professors also projected their images here from the far-off Far North City College. After a long absence, Shade met Professor Garcia, the deputy dean of the School of History. This professor with elf blood had taken good care of Shade when he first joined St. Byrons. However, it was an exam at this time, so the two of them did not Too much communication.
Because of her joint training status, Luvia was the one with the fewest subjects in this exam as usual. But this exam is particularly important to her, because she plans to pass all the remaining subjects of the "Registered Fortune Teller" in this exam.
Once she passes the exam, it means that she has officially obtained the "Registered Fortune Teller" certificate and the fortune teller professional qualification certificate.
With these two certificates, even if she does nothing in the future and stays at the current seventh-ring level, she will definitely have a prosperous and happy life in the future.
If Luvia continues to take the "Astrologer Qualification Certificate" and "Secret Keeper Qualification Certificate", she can apply to become a prophet if she holds three certificates at the same time and reaches the high level. The president of a local branch of the association. If you are lucky enough, you may even have the opportunity to compete for key positions at the headquarters of the Prophet Association or even the seat of president in the future.
In short, in this fairly smooth road to job promotion, the most difficult test is to become a "registered fortune teller", but Shade has great confidence in Luvia. After all, long-haired Luvia has taken this certificate many times, and Shade doesn't believe that she won't help herself.
