MTL - Weird Wizarding World-Chapter 20 Prepare with both hands
Chapter 20 Two-hand preparation
Out of the confinement room, the blue sky and white clouds outside.
The sea breeze brushed softly across his face, causing Colin's long blonde hair to sway slightly.
Call—
He moved his shoulders and neck, and he just felt in a good mood.
But soon, the smile on his face disappeared.
Charlie's group from the confinement room on the left just came out.
Charlie's face was gloomy and haggard. He gave Colin a vicious look and said nothing, but called Haywood and Owen to leave quickly.
Looking at the direction, it seems to be going down the mountain.
Colin stood in the back, looking at the backs of the three of them far away, doubts arose in his heart.
During the ten days in the confinement room, he thought more than once in his mind why Charlie suddenly turned against him.
He kept repeating Charlie's words in his mind, always feeling that something was wrong.
Although it makes sense in general, there are always some details that cannot be explained, and it can even be said to be full of loopholes.
For example, if according to what Charlie said, there are certain forces in the gathering area under the mountain that will enslave the apprentices who are eliminated by the school, then this must be an extremely secret matter. How did he know about it?
So Colin always felt a little strange.
Also, Charlie's use of violence to get him into a mutual aid society contributes to this strange feeling.
But in fact, if he wasn't sure to advance, he really didn't need to join the mutual aid club.
When Charlie invited him to see the evidence that day, he should have gone too.
Even ten days ago, when Charlie led a group of people over and invited him to join again, he actually believed Charlie's words, after all, so many people testified for him.
It’s just that he really doesn’t need to join the mutual aid society, so he had to refuse.
But the tone is also always gentle.
He thought about the rejection. Charlie might be angry, but that was it.
After all, Charlie can wait until three months later, when he has lost hope in the advancement and has no reason to refuse, and at the same time he has personally experienced the cruelty of the gathering place outside before recruiting him.
Maybe at that time, I can wait until I take the initiative to defect... If the situation outside is really as bad as he said.
But Charlie suddenly forced the mover, as if he had to be recruited before the three-month deadline.
‘In order to practice group witchcraft in advance, should one more person be more powerful…’
Colin shook his head, Charlie's explanation always felt a little stiff.
However, none of this matters to him.
He returned to the stone house, walking briskly.
‘There are still five days to advance, no matter what conspiracy Charlie and others have, then he and he will be people from two worlds. ’

Inside a wooden house in Black Rock City.
Charlie and the three were kneeling on the ground with their heads bowed, their expressions terrified.
"Sir, I didn't expect that he still didn't want to join us when so many people testified... So I wanted to force him directly to my lord... But I didn't expect the patrol team to come."
Having said that, Charlie actually figured it out in hindsight.
The patrol team probably came to take a look when they saw so many apprentices gathered.
But he didn't think there was a problem with his method, he could only say that Colin was an arrogant and arrogant outlier.
Now that he has persuaded him like this, it is incomprehensible that he would refuse him!
And... He didn't expect Colin to hide such deep strength.
The interior of the wooden house was extremely quiet, you could hear needles falling, and Charlie and the others could not help but beaded with sweat on their foreheads.
A middle-aged man in a black witch robe leaned quietly on the reclining chair, his black hood cast a shadow on his pale face, making it difficult to see his expression.
After a long time, he slowly spoke:
"Do you think he said he can advance, is it true or false."
"Of course it's fake, no one in our group can advance within these three months!" Charlie replied subconsciously.
"Then he...why didn't he join you?"
Charlie's heart sank, and his face gradually turned pale.
He never thought of such a possibility... But if Colin is really sure of successfully advancing, then everything can be explained.
The reason why Colin kept rejecting him was not coming when he was invited to see the evidence, and even with so many people to invite him, he still refused...
All because he thinks he can advance within three months!
Charlie's face became more and more ugly.
It’s not that things like this haven’t happened before. The last batch also had an apprentice, who was just ten years into the intermediate level, just enough to stay in the school…
"How much do you think he can guess." The black-robed wizard continued to ask.
The fine beads of sweat converged on Charlie's face into large drops, splashing faintly on the floor.
The black-robed wizard sighed.
"The matter of your advancement, suspend...you go." The black-robed wizard waved his hand, and then seemed to remember something, and continued to instruct Charlie:
"The apprentice from last time...it seems to be called...Mia, bring her here."
If it really is what he thinks, that apprentice can continue to stay in the Lapp School.
Then let Charlie advance, it is obviously inappropriate and easy to show off.
He had to make another backup plan.
I hope he just thinks too much... It's not that easy to force a junior apprentice to an intermediate level.
In this batch of students, only Charlie and Mia who brought him here last time can meet the requirements.
If Charlie can't, then Mia will have to be retrained, and it will take a lot of resources.
‘Perhaps the best solution is to deal with that apprentice. ' The black robe wizard couldn't help but think.
But it's not easy to do. As long as the student stays in the wizard's lead for the rest of the time, there's nothing he can do, and he can only rely on Charlie and others.
According to Charlie's description... The great knight's physique and steel armor, without making a big move, it is impossible for them to get that apprentice.
And he couldn't give Charlie any props to help him just in case.
...In that case, that apprentice should be left alone. Anyway, there are more than 30 apprentices, which is enough.
He couldn't help rubbing his tightly wrinkled brows, raised his head to see Charlie still standing, paused and urged:
"There's nothing else you can do, Charlie, go and bring Mia!"
"...Okay, my lord." Charlie's lips moved, he hesitated, but he finally left with his head down.
On the way back, Charlie was expressionless, but his inner thoughts kept surging.
He had already guessed the black-robed wizard's plan, and also realized that the black-robed wizard did not want him to continue to contact Colin, so as not to reveal more information.
‘But how could I possibly agree? The only one who will stay in the school at the advanced intermediate level is me! ' He roared inwardly!
Then he glanced at Haywood and Owen who were following him, without showing any emotion on their faces.
Although these two completely obeyed his words, their real master was still the black-robed wizard.
