Chapter 32 Edith Falls Asleep Gorgeously

Edith silently stepped back, letting Hedda stand in front.

The public's attention is very reasonable.

Edith had just won first place, and after leaving the stage, she disappeared for a while inexplicably. When she came back, she had an assistant badge pinned to her collar. The eighth place in the entrance exam happened to be in this team. Seeing this, he announced to the crowd Edith's legendary deeds of "being favored by the dean before entering the school and successfully selected as an assistant", once again engraving the name Edith in the minds of the first-year students.

The legendary genius freshman's study partner is paired with the Duke's eldest daughter, a distinguished host. It is reported that the Duke's eldest daughter's admission score is also quite good, just a little short of the top 50.

A dormitory that can meet the dual needs of status and strength is the best choice no matter how you look at it.

And...if I could get closer to Edith, even if I couldn't find a flaw that would allow me to defeat her, I could at least get some information about the inner library.

Several people tried to move forward, but stopped because they were moving at the same time as the people around them. They looked at each other warily, and finally formed a strange restraining posture and stayed where they were.

Edith kept her mouth shut and her brain was working rapidly.

I may often walk around the campus and return to the dormitory at irregular times. I must choose roommates who are not so troublesome and will not talk nonsense. It is best not to have a purpose...

But she really couldn't recognize who all the people in front of her were, so she could only analyze their expressions and try to find one who looked friendly.

——At this moment, a hand suddenly pulled the corner of her clothes.

Edith turned around and met Bell's bright golden eyes.

"Together?" She tilted her head expressionlessly, revealing the empty background behind her. "Just me."

Before Edith could comment, she quickly mouthed a name: Gray Green.

Edith no longer hesitated, turned around and greeted Hedda, and pulled Bell to her side. The other party seemed to be a little unresponsive, and the corners of his mouth rose for a moment, but quickly converged after standing still, returning to a serious look.

This made the crowd even more agitated.

Bell Green! This is also a new name that I haven't heard of before this year, but he has a good relationship with Amy and seems to have a close relationship with the Magic Association. Although I don't know his family background, he ranked third in the entrance examination.

The value of this dormitory has further increased.

But at the same time, with Bell's joining, there was only one remaining spot in Edith's dormitory, and many people withdrew their steps after careful consideration.

Everyone either has a study partner or a close friend. At the beginning of the school year, most people usually stay in pairs. In this case, most people cannot give up their partner and go to an unfamiliar dormitory alone.

After giving up this side, the crowd finally started to move. Everyone invited groups one by one, and a rough outline was formed in ten minutes.

There are only a few left who haven’t found roommates yet.

The teacher frowned and raised her voice: "There are 92 girls in our team. Four people in one dormitory should be just right. There is no chance of being left alone. I will give you two minutes. If you can't form a group, I will assign them directly. If there is a conflict, don't come to me and ask for a change."

The remaining people became restless and formed two more dormitories in two minutes. The teacher looked at his watch impatiently: "Who are the remaining people?"

Edith, Hedda, and Belle raised their hands silently, along with five other people who raised their hands sparsely.

Edith and Bell both said that they had no acquaintances in the capital. Heda did know some, but they either didn't get into the academy, or joined other teams during the visit, or were with their study partners and didn't want to separate, so the last one was not brought along.

"You three are coming together? Then one more person will come, and the remaining four will automatically form the last group." Seeing that the workload was not too heavy, the teacher breathed a sigh of relief, "Who's coming?"

A girl took the initiative to stand up.

"I."

Edith frowned slightly.

Her makeup was delicate and her hair was obviously styled. The school robe she wore was somehow too short, revealing the shiny satin skirt underneath.

There is nothing wrong with loving beauty, but it is a bit unreasonable to carve fine patterns on the grip of the wand - if you use a little force during the game, you will scratch your hands.

Hedda quietly pulled Edith's sleeve and made a cross on her palm: This person is not good.

Edith understood immediately and was about to refuse: "I'm sorry——"

"Are you sure? With your personality, can you survive without a study companion?"

Among the five people, another girl came out, threw the things in her hand into the hands of the tutor, and sneered at the person in front of her, "The academy clearly states that servants are not allowed, but you trained a servant and tutor to come in together... Lisa, are you really willing to leave alone?"

Hedda struck a cross in Edith's hand again, her hand moving so fast that it almost flew sparks. Edith thought she could hear her screaming: This one doesn't work either!

Sure enough, those who are left till the end are usually not good people.

She silently turned her attention to the last lonely figure.

Maureen Raphael.

This year's only civilian student seemed to have a high self-esteem, and as expected, he was isolated.

He has simple interpersonal relationships, is hardworking and seems to be a suitable roommate.

While she was still thinking, the girl called Lisa shot back without hesitation: "Huh? You said it as if you can leave your study partner. I have poor life skills, but at least my grades are good. So, who can't take care of themselves and can only get the last few grades?"

The girl's face suddenly turned red.

It was all because of the custom of the Bo Yunus College that the last fifty students would go on stage. She could have kept her results hidden!

"I don't care. I won't live in the same dormitory with civilians anyway." She angrily snatched the bag from her companion's hand, causing the companion to stagger. Edith let out a soft sound and watched Mu Lin tremble.

It’s really... As a place for teaching knowledge, it is so class-divided.

She shook her head, ignoring the two people who were still arguing and not paying attention to the situation here, and stretched out her hand to Mu Lin under the gaze of everyone.

"Hello, would you like to come to our dormitory?"

The sharp quarrel between Lisa and another girl suddenly stopped.

Mu Lin raised her head in astonishment and looked at Edith, who was a head taller than her. She stretched out her hand and slowly pointed at herself.

"......I?"

"Yes, that's you."

The girl's golden hair was faintly glowing in the sunlight. Her face against the light was hard to see, but her tone was reassuring. "We are just short of one more person in the dormitory - don't you have anyone you want to be with?"

"No."

The girl responded quickly and subconsciously, as if she was afraid that the person in front of her would just leave. "It's just me, no one else."

"Well, it's you."

Edith was in a good mood. She had never been a noble in her life, so she had a natural affinity for commoners. "Welcome to join us."

Heda immediately followed: "Welcome, welcome, don't just stand there, come over here!"

There was complete silence all around, no one thought that Edith would take the initiative to invite Mulin - she was a commoner, it was ok for them to communicate with each other from time to time, but how could they live together?

And Hedda, Hedda is the daughter of the Duke, how could she tolerate Edith's unauthorized decision?

Even the two arguing girls stopped quarreling and faced this side in unison, their eyes filled with anger.

"Great, the four of you will automatically form a dormitory." The teacher didn't care whether they were happy or not. She was happy as long as she could solve the problem earlier and get off work earlier. "Go to the dormitory manager to draw a room number, and enter the magic power into the lock at the door. The luggage will then follow the magic power to come up by itself."

"The rest of the time is free for you to do as you please. If you need to take elective courses, go to the teacher and submit your application. Classes will start on time the day after tomorrow."

......

"Thank you."

After packing up her things, Mu Lin walked silently behind Edith and said a soft thank you, which startled the person in front of her.

Edith touched her neck which was sweating from fear and asked, "What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for inviting me today." She pursed her lips, "I don't need to use the dormitory's public facilities--"

"Why?" Hedda poked her head out from behind the curtains. "You don't need to wash yourself? Where are you going to catch up on your homework at night?"

After all, the dormitory is for noble ladies and gentlemen, so the conditions are not bad. Although it is said to be a four-person room, it is actually divided into two two-person rooms with a shared bathroom, balcony and a public area facing the door.

The common area is carpeted, furnished with sofas, and a table large enough for four people to work on their papers. Next to the table is a fireplace, which will be put to use in two months.

"I have the worst grades in the whole dormitory now. The two of them are not normal people. I still want you to tutor me." Heda put his arm around Mu Lin's shoulders. "You don't really plan to do your homework in the classroom, do you?"

Mu Lin seemed to have not expected that the person with the best family background in the dormitory would be so friendly in person, and he hummed with a nasal tone.

After Heda finished counseling everyone, he swaggered out of the main door. Mu Lin looked at Heda's back and sighed in a low voice: "23rd place, what's the point of giving 54th place extra lessons?"

"She really was going out of her way to comfort me."

Edith looked at Hedda's back, which revealed her joy and arrogance, and was about to say something but stopped herself.

No, she really wouldn't necessarily think so much.

She should simply include Bell and Mulin in her reserve army for conquering the world.

…

A day and a half passed in a flash.

The night before the official start of school, the four people in the dormitory gathered together, drinking the high-quality tea that Heda brought from home, eating cakes produced by the college, and held a small pajama party. The main purpose of this party was to get to know each other. Everyone was a teenager, so there was no need for those half-said and half-hidden twists and turns, and family background was inevitably mentioned.

In the middle of the night, Heda, who was a little overwhelmed, turned to Mulin and spoke without thinking: "Yesterday I was worried that you couldn't use the latest magic lock, so I planned to help you. I didn't expect you to be so skilled."

Edith held her forehead with her hand - Hedda really treated Mulin as her own, and did not consider at all that if the other party was petty, he might think that she was mocking poverty and hold a grudge against her.

Fortunately, Mulin didn't care. The girl who had deliberately straightened her back at the entrance ceremony finally relaxed after finding that everyone was friendly. She curled up on the sofa in her pajamas, with dimples on her cheeks faintly visible. "Maybe they are afraid that there are unsafe people hiding in the hotel, who will run out and endanger the capital. As long as a new type of lock is available, the city hall will send someone to replace the lock on my parents' store door."

"I have always used the latest models, so there is no problem of adaptability."

"It changes every year?" Edith's ears twitched slightly. "Is the City Hall so good?"

One of the reasons why she chose to stay at Shelly's house for one night instead of staying at a hotel was that the hotel was not safe. The two or three hotels around the Pharmacy Association had always used basic locks, and they had never been changed in all these years.

But she couldn't ask directly - Edith Griffin shouldn't have such a deep understanding of Wang Du.

Mu Lin nodded. "I find it strange too, but according to my parents, the city hall didn't have this practice before I was born."

"Maybe it's because the crime rate has increased since then?" Hedda, who had never stayed in a hotel, guessed.

"It's possible."

The topic then turned to Belle, who was a little vague, saying only that she was the distant niece of the great mage Gray Green. Edith openly stated her civilian identity, and of course, Mulin was the only one who was surprised by this.

"Oh my God." Her eyes sparkled. "You too—"

She was excited for two seconds, and suddenly felt that this was not polite, so she covered her mouth: "Sorry..."

"It's okay." Edith waved her hand nonchalantly, "Remember to keep it a secret for me for now."

Being a civilian is not conducive to expanding your popularity in the early stages.

Several people chatted until late at night, which really promoted the relationship, but also greatly squeezed the sleep time.

Sure enough, the next day, the first morning class of the Potions elective class officially started.

—but Edith fell into a state of magnificent sleep.
