    What's more embarrassing than making a fool of yourself is having to face the embarrassment proactively.  ¡­ Pooh bravely pushed open the door behind the illusion wall, and was immediately greeted by more than a dozen looks.  Cod's bright eyes were filled with gloating, and he pulled others to point at her, as if showing off trophies.  ¡°Bah!¡± All the apprentices shrank their necks at the same time.  Mentor Mina, one of the three managers of the Song Tower, stood in the center of the circular podium and cast a cold gaze.  "I thought" Mina's voice and expression were the same, like two pieces of ice rubbing against each other, "The students in the tower already know what 'hunger' is." Pooh was embarrassed and twisted his fingers together.  "You chicks hatched from silk and honey are too full, and you are always leisurely. But this is not your beautiful nest! If you think the sword dance of the knights in the Ministry of Law is very beautiful, next time you  Come and be their training target!" said the dark and thin instructor, and no one in the circular classroom dared to gasp loudly.  "Pooh Jojo, if you fast for a day, you need to understand 'hunger'." "Yes, mentor." Pooh said obediently and returned to his seat.  Mina explained the spell-casting gestures of the conjuration faction from the beginning. Her skinny fingers lacked beauty and her movements were precise and stable.  Some people just feel bad about not throwing a stone when they fall into the well. Pooh glanced at Codd who was approaching him. The boy stared at the tutor and grinned: "You can tell her Black Witch, it's because the spell analysis can't get in, anyway.  This is the lesson of Instructor Aston. " Pooh ignored him. She never called Mina the black witch, just like Mina never called her "Joral" to make fun of her last name. She always took it seriously.  Call "Winnie Jojo." "Spell analysis is much more important than gestures. Many doors in the tower must be opened with spells. I heard that the doors to the apprentice dormitories will also be added in some days. You can sleep in the corridor  ¡­¡± Are all boys so revengeful?  Winnie took a deep breath and resisted the urge to stick the quill into Cord's eye, but for how long?  "You!" Instructor Mina pointed at Codd, "You're too full. I'll bet your mouth on the two bundles of elk skins in the basement, which will be tanned tomorrow." The boy's face turned bitter, and the other apprentices snickered again and again.  Everyone is afraid of Mina. She has won the trust of the tower master and is responsible for two complicated and boring courses: gestures and spell materials, as well as the management of apprentices in the Department of External Law.  This mentor was criticized for many reasons. Her words were mean, her behavior was vulgar, and her hands were covered in calluses. It was impossible to imagine a mysterious and noble life master. The worst thing was that she was too young, and she was even growing!  But no one hates her because she is equally bad to everyone, without distinction.  At the end of the three-hour class, Coder took out a piece of paper and gave his friends a look - look at me.  The apprentices all knew what he was going to do - find ways to avoid labor, but they were even more curious about the results.  What was surprising was that Mentor Mina's dark and cold face actually showed a hint of relief, and then Codd returned as a winner.  "It's unbelievable. You really used a recipe to win the favor of the Black Witch?" Coder laughed, "I have said that the Black Witch always likes to punish people to fast because she feels that not being able to eat is terrible.  It¡¯s not surprising that she likes to cook, just follow what she likes, but you have to figure it out.¡± ¡°That¡¯s the secret!¡±  It¡¯s an errand, but the elk hides have to be dealt with, so I recommend you. Practice makes perfect, right?¡± Coad¡¯s kind eyes made people want to slap him.  Pooh turned around and walked away, using his back to resist the ridicule.  Since we couldn¡¯t eat at noon anyway, Pooh didn¡¯t want to go to the restaurant, so she wandered around.  The first floor is for guests to dine, the second and third floors are for residence, and the fourth floor is for teaching, the part known to the apprentices.  But there are still many rooms that they cannot open and are not allowed to enter.  Above the fifth floor, the approval of the tower owner or Mentor Mina or Mentor Aston is required, otherwise the statue guarding the stairs will do some terrible things.  As she passed the third-floor common room, a knight waved to her.  Except for the three knights we saw in the morning, they are very similar. They are enthusiastic, upright, and energetic, but they are easy to distinguish. They are silver-haired, brown-haired, and black-haired.  There is also a middle-aged man sitting upright, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes like knife carvings, who is reading, with a serious face that is incompatible with the three young people.  "Miss Pooh, I heard you were punished again." The brown-haired one asked.  "It's because I didn't do my homework well." "Come and drink some wheat porridge. Being hungry for a day at your age is not good for your development." The silver-haired one said.  Before Pooh could reject the over-enthusiastic knight, the middle-aged man on the side suddenly said: "If punishment is meaningless, how can she grow? Don't use pity here,"Young man, although I am also against fasting.  "The black-haired man asked: "General, do you also think it is inhumane for Teacher Mina to make children fast?  " "No, it's inefficient.  Punishment should be with a whip and be unforgettable.  "The middle-aged man known as the general said. He waved to Mina to follow him, leaving the knight looking at each other. "Apprentices often do some errands for students who go to the Ministry of Law in exchange for rewards. Because of his excellent grammar and writing, Pooh is responsible for  Collating and proofreading manuscripts for the general. The general is not a nickname. He is indeed an active general with a regular army of 10,000 people in the north. His trophies include the flag of Kumara the Eagle and the emblem of the Windhearth Dwarves.  A student who has experienced many battles is the most important person in the Dharma Department. He doesn't say much, but when he speaks, people listen. Unlike the knights, the general is not interested in practical magic, but is diligently pursuing certain inconspicuous functions.  The content ranges from "The Vertical Transformation of Command by SMS" to "Cavalry Array Spell Evasion Drills", with military as the core, involving architecture, geography, and climate. Pooh picked up a combat analysis of the Garan Nord tree people.  The tree man's excessive wingspan is destructive to his own formation, and the huge gap caused by the difference in pace. In the hard text, those giant monsters of the elves don't seem to be scary anymore. The general concentrated on writing an article about alchemical items.  "General, these are military secrets, just show them to me" "If you commit treason, that is the tower owner's problem and has nothing to do with me.  "The general choked Pooh back without raising his head. "I graduated from the Ring Sword Academy in Kumara.  "    "ah?  "The girl didn't react for a moment. The general suddenly raised such a strange topic, and how could the war madmen in the south let the Essien people go to their proudest military academy? "The process is not important, but I am in the same situation as you.  Belonging to the outliers in the academy.  There are always people who want to sit on your neck and shit on you, make you angry, make you weak, and provoke you to get fired.  Twenty years have passed, and one-third of my classmates have been killed by me, and one-third have become my prisoners of war.  Do you understand what I'm going to say?  " "I am very tolerant.  " "Tolerance and concession are two different things, just like the difference between escape and strategic retreat. The latter gives you room to accumulate strength.  I very much agree with what Teacher Mina said, you don¡¯t know how to be hungry yet, try your best to fill yourself up, the outside world will not allow you to retreat.  "The general's focused eyes were full of power. Although the general didn't give her a bite of wheat cake, Pooh felt much more comfortable. "Thank you for your encouragement.  " He pulled out a drawing and said, "Give this to the little bastard who always bullies you.  " Pooh could see that this was a sketch of the interior of the song tower, with several blue dots extending downwards. "What is this?  " "The pipe drawings of the song tower.  Coder came to me for advice the day before yesterday. He suddenly became interested in architecture.  Don't imitate him, he's just a little smart!  "The general shook his head and said. This strange drawing has been entangled in her thoughts for a while. In the afternoon geography class, Instructor Aston pointed to the map as if no one else was watching, "Essien's mining and handicrafts supported trade, and Kumara  The food of the Crimson Federation and the salt of the Crimson Federation created a balance, but the rise of Tia and the Shadow Cult blocking the trade routes broke the balance" Aston is a lucky scholar who met Master Ye Phosphorus in his early days.  As a result, he has become one of the three giants of the Song Tower. Although everyone has never seen him throw out a spark or a point of light, his teaching is always divergent. It is obviously geography, but it turns into current affairs and then history.  Fortunately, Instructor Aston never cared about the atmosphere in the classroom. It almost seemed as if Coder was afraid of having a group of apprentices gossip: "the water in Jinxue River has the astringency of rocks, but there is nothing in the water in the tower. It is extremely pure.  " "What does that mean?  " "It means we are using a separate water source.  "Corder didn't enjoy the attention of this topic, and he was a little disappointed. Pooh moved over and asked with a straight face: "Corder, at what cost can you stop calling me Joral.  "The boy's eyes rolled, "My clothes" "I'll wash them, but you have to promise to do what you say.  " Coder became happy, "That's right!  Deal, Vinnie Jojo.  You know, I don't have any ill intentions towards you, I just want you to be less withdrawn.  "He looked like he was doing it for your own good. Pooh was dubious, but in any case, please solve one of the problems. This small "concession" made the meal delivery less awkward for the two of them in the evening. As soon as they entered Mrs. Scindia's door,  The souls of the two children melted¡ªmelted into the splendor of the spell.
