Chapter 118 This is definitely a hot-selling front page!
The teacher's voice was so loud that the person outside the door retracted his head and closed the door behind him. Edith sighed and slowly moved towards the door.
The teacher followed closely behind.
"You don't have to answer the questions in order later." He instructed, "Just answer the ones you like. If someone provokes you, you can take the initiative to stop them."
"The one holding the green notebook is relatively peaceful. If you don't mind, you can answer more."
Edith: "...Is this the newspaper company in your home, teacher?"
The accompanying teacher chuckled.
The two walked to the door. Edith lowered her head, took a breath, adjusted her expression to a calm state, and pushed the door open.
The chirping noise outside the door suddenly quieted down
If it weren't for the rapid breathing, I would have thought it was a bird-eating bird that came here... Edith thought so and took the initiative to make way for the teacher who was eager to squeeze out to get to the door first.
"Get out of the way! Who allowed you to block the entrance to the lounge?" He waved his hand arrogantly, driving everyone away. "Line up immediately, or Miss Griffin won't accept the interview!"
Edith thanked him, and then she saw him quietly pull the members of his own newspaper forward, then he stood sideways, blocking the people who wanted to squeeze through.
He really works hard.
Edith shook her head. Although she didn't like this behavior, for the sake of peace in the future, she decided to give the first answer to the lady with the green notebook.
"Hello, Miss Griffin, nice to meet you." The lady had obviously been through the test, and she still maintained her composure in such a crowded situation. "Excuse me, what do you think of today's game and opponent?"
A very common question.
Edith's expression was the same as always: "Pity."
"I have compassion for every player who is about to lose a match."
An answer as common as the question - huh?
The newspaper member paused after symbolically placing his pen on the notebook, then reacted quickly, adjusting his wrist to the most suitable posture for writing in the blink of an eye, and quickly wrote down the words.
This is not an ordinary answer!
Edith's voice was not small, but it was still a little difficult for Joe to hear clearly from the distance.
Although he couldn't hear clearly, he could see many members of the newspaper turned their heads and glanced at him with obscure expressions.
The other side is talking about topics related to him.
Qiao determined the result in an instant.
This was normal, as his first question was also related to the other party, but the person in front of him didn't give him any look - there must be something unreasonable in Edith's answer.
"You, go and tell me what Edith just said?"
He interrupted the person in front of him casually and tilted his head in Edith's direction. The one who stayed behind was arranged by his father. He dared not say anything but put down the notebook, hugged his head and ran to the other side.
Joe realized belatedly that there was no one in front of him.
“…Tsk.”
The people on the stage also noticed this strange scene. Many of them stopped talking and quietly counted the difference in the number of people on both sides.
"How many newspapers are allowed in one show?"
"Ten companies, usually one player is assigned to five companies. Is there not enough people here today?"
"There are ten in front of Edith now."
"......"
"So there are still newspapers, but no one is on Joe's side?"
Everyone gasped.
This isn’t right—isn’t there usually at least one of our own people allowed in?
The stage immediately entered into an extremely excited state of discussion, and the newspaper men below also became excited, their eyes shining as they squirmed forward.
Green Book managed to hold on to the first place with the help of the teacher, and continued to ask questions with shining eyes: "Do you think Joe will definitely lose? Why?"
"The game is about to start." Edith shrugged. She just wanted to affect Joe's mood and didn't want to say too much and give these people room to take her words out of context.
Green Book was not willing to just get this answer, so he continued to ask: "Qiao's tactics——"
Edith ignored her words and looked back. The people who received the signal became excited, and for a moment, chaotic questions filled the entire space.
Since the teacher said that they didn't have to follow the order, she just picked someone at random.
"Ms. Griffin, first of all, congratulations on securing the victory in this game in advance. What are your plans after winning the game?" The person who was called was wearing a thick fur hat and looked like a giant mushroom.
His question was a compliment on paper, but sounded like a mockery. He skipped the game and asked directly about her plans after winning, hoping to force Edith to open the champagne in advance, so that she could form a contrast after losing and write a failure story that the public would love to hear.
Edith directly met his expectations and said generously: "Review to avoid being expelled from the college due to failing the exam."
"As far as I know, you have always been the top student in the class." The mushroom man smiled and glanced at the golden badge on Edith's cloak. "Will the top student in the class also feel distressed about not being able to pass the test?"
"After all, I have to take the third-grade paper this year." Edith stated the facts calmly.
Everyone in front of him paused while taking notes.
"Excuse me, what does this sentence mean?" Someone on the side tried to provoke, raising his hand to get Edith's attention, "Why do you need to take the third grade test?"
"Follow the school's arrangements." Edith was still very frugal with her words.
Immediately, some people standing on the edge gave up the interview and ran out.
He estimated that he couldn't squeeze through the people in front of him. Instead of thinking about digging something, he might as well go and negotiate with the college and get things cleared up. He had a hunch that the first-year student taking the third-year exam would definitely cause a huge sensation!
It's a good story for a first grader to take the third grade exam, but it's another story when the third grader has Zebulon, the son of the current queen.
"Hey, someone left." A girl in the stands noticed this and pulled the boy next to her who was discussing fiercely. The boy turned around and looked at her: "Ah, do you think Edith is difficult to interview and plan to go find Joe?"
— and then they watched the man run away from the practice field.
Both of them: "......"
Boy: "So there's still no newspaper in front of Joe, right?"
At this time, members of the newspaper sponsored by the Rodney family were struggling to squeeze into the gap left by the running man, trying to ask people around them what Edith had just said.
But no one paid any attention to him. Everyone was just looking down and taking notes.
The man gave up asking questions, looked up, and raised his hand vigorously, wanting to ask Edith two questions in person.
Unexpectedly, Edith saw him in the crowd at a glance, raised her eyebrows, and pointed at him in the air: "You."
The man covered his collar with the newspaper badge under everyone's envious gazes: "Good afternoon, Miss Griffin - I heard that the lecture hall didn't introduce your family just now, so, can you introduce it to us separately?"
When introducing today's two contestants, Number One called Joe "the heir to the Rodney family," but did not make any identity comments about Edith.
The man asked this question out of habit. The essence of the pre-match interview is to constantly ask questions that allow the players to talk about their families.
It was not until he felt that all the newspaper members around him were trembling with excitement that he realized something was wrong.
Wait, Edith seems to be a companion student.
"You rarely talk about your family in public," Green Book quickly replied, "Why? Are you ashamed of your family?"
Edith: "...In fact, this is only the second time I've spoken in public. How exactly does 'few' count?"
The lady choked, obviously not expecting someone to take her words so seriously, and the man in the hat next to her took advantage of the opportunity to say, "Miss Griffin, since you have reached such a famous position, why don't you give back to your family and let them bask in your glory?"
Except for Celeste's words "a commoner", Edith's background has not been clearly mentioned. However, no one really took Celeste's words about a commoner to heart - Mulin was the only commoner in Beaujunes College.
Civilian should just be an insulting word used by the other party for the purpose of mockery.
Besides, Edith entered the academy as Hedda's companion. Even though Duke Turner had no real power now, he was still a duke after all, and the companion he chose for his daughter could not be too bad.
But the last name Griffin was indeed unfamiliar, and he was probably not a noble from the royal capital.
"Me? I'm a commoner." Edith looked at the man strangely. "Do I need to introduce myself?"
"My father is a doctor, my mother runs a hotel, and I have a younger sister... That's it."
"......ah?"
The man almost squeezed out these syllables with his chest: ".....Ah, yes, the doctor profession has quite high requirements for mages..."
"My father is just a doctor who studies common medicinal herbs, not a wizard." Edith shook her head. "Not a wizard - I mentioned this during the entrance exam."
"Ordinary people should also be mentioned." Green Book's mind was still in a mess, and he spoke subconsciously, "Even if they are civilians, they are your parents who worked hard to send you to Bo Yunis College."
"They died very early. I don't think they would be able to hear me even if I told them."
Not only did the original body's parents die, but her own parents also died - well, to be precise, even she herself died.
With so many people dead, no one would think that this is something that needs to be emphasized.
She could already speak out things calmly.
"There are still fifteen minutes left. Can I go back and rest for a while?" Seeing that no one responded, Edith turned to look at the teacher. The other party did not agree but did not object either. Edith took it as his consent and happily went back to the lounge, intending to close her eyes and rest for a while before the game began.
The mushroom man bumped the green notebook with his arm.
"Why are you so calm? Did you know this earlier?"
He actually had the brains to question Edith the moment she told him the story.
"What?"
Green Book woke up as if from a dream: "What did you know long ago?"
"Edith Griffin is a commoner—damn it, I thought one Mulin was enough!"
"Edith Griffin is a civilian?!"
Green Book's voice suddenly increased, "What? I don't know, what do you mean? Oh my God, what did I just ask!"
Her mind finally came to its senses. She stopped responding to the other party and quickly wrote on her green notebook, leaving an afterimage of her hand.
This is definitely a front page that will sell out!
