Chapter 276: Having a protagonist template does not necessarily mean you are the protagonist. You may also be...
After negotiating the deal for 1 million J, the group stayed in the research institute for a few days, and then Kira left first.
Even with the records of predecessors, the processing of the Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal would not be completed in a day or two. He naturally would not wait here in vain, so he temporarily divided the organization into two teams.
The six demons, led by Eric, continued to stay here, waiting for Silver to complete the development of the Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal, while discussing with several researchers from the Dragon Slayer Research Institute. As second-generation Dragon Slayers, Eric could also ask them how to become stronger.
As for Kira, Jellal, and Urrutia, they left first to do their respective tasks.
First of all, it's Urrutia. She still has to go back to the Devil's Heart to report. After all, Hades is her teacher, and this kindness cannot be cut off just like that.
Jellal also followed Urrutia. His personal goal was to fight against darkness and Zeref, and the task assigned to him by the organization was to cooperate with Urrutia and pass on internal information, that is, to go in undercover. Anyway, he was used to this kind of thing.
Fortunately, Kira had already instructed the coalition forces not to tell anyone about his return to goodness through "Nirvana", in order to prevent people in the magic world from thinking that Jellal was still a bad guy who did all kinds of evil.
With Jellal's ability and Hades's ability to judge people, he might become the next "Seven Familiars of Purgatory" as soon as he enters! This is likely to greatly increase the average strength of this name!
But there is another possibility. Now that Bruno has been defeated by Kira, maybe Hades will directly make him the vice president?
As for Kira, he still has to go back to Demisool Academy to continue his teacher game!
Dean Conas had paid for it, and Kira still had three cycles of teaching, that is, three classes, and he couldn't just miss it! Being a wizard requires integrity, and he knew that!
So, after a long journey, Kira finally flew back to Demisool Academy.
…
Laguna was born in an unknown small town. His parents died early and he became an orphan at the age of 6.
It was a poor town, and even the church did not receive much funding every month. Looking at those little ones who were even younger than him, Laguna did not choose to join them and fight for the already limited funding. Instead, he resolutely left the town and sought development in the neighboring town.
He took out the little savings that were left in his family and took the last train to the neighboring town.
But he didn't know magic, didn't have physical strength, and couldn't socialize, so he was rejected no matter what job he tried. In this place, even picking up garbage was done by people, and he could only live under the bridge, spending his savings in a tight spot while envying the affluence of the people passing by.
That day, Laguna uttered a heartfelt sigh for the first time: "It's so good to be rich!"
The hardships of life did not wear down Laguna's body and mind, but instead further honed his body and will.
After all, the goddess of luck had mercy on the orphan, and before he spent all his savings, he finally got a job as an apprentice in a magic shop.
The shop is not big, he works 10 hours a day, all year round, has no social insurances and one housing fund, and only earns 10,000 J per month, but food and accommodation are provided, and this is the only job he can find.
Laguna worked diligently for more than three years. During this period, as an apprentice, he learned a lot of magic-related knowledge in the magic shop.
Every prop, every bottle of potion, and every book in the store has passed through his hands. Those magic novels, especially "Magic Fights in the Sky" written by "Light of Hope", have outlined a wonderful magical world deep in his heart.
At some point, he uttered a heartfelt sigh for the second time: "It's great to know magic!"
Finally, when he was 10 years old, his fate took a turn.
It was a "Magic Merchant Exchange Conference" held in the royal capital of Kurokas. Due to Laguna's good performance over the years, the store owner did not keep him to look after the store, but brought him along as well.
The conference was held for several days and included auctions, lectures by senior businessmen, and trading of magic props, which was very exciting.
But what impressed Laguna the most was a red-haired wizard who appeared at the conference. He had forgotten his specific appearance, but only vaguely remembered that he was heroic, famous, and powerful, but very greedy and had an extremely bad character. However, all major merchants, including his own boss, welcomed him with a smile!
From then on, Laguna decided to become a "respected" wizard like him!
With the idea that his trip was not in vain, Laguna bought a somewhat worn-out book from a magic merchant. When he followed the boss back to the store, he unexpectedly discovered that it was a magic book, and the magic in it was extremely suitable for him!
Laguna got lucky, he embarked on the path of magic and became a wizard!
He felt that his experience was exactly the same as those of the male protagonists in those novels: he was also an orphan, he also had a strange yearning for the magical world, and he also learned powerful magic in a certain adventure, and it wouldn't be long before he reached the peak of his life!
“It’s exactly the picture of my life!”
As Laguna thought about this, he began to cherish the magic that he had learned with great difficulty even more.
The book recorded a kind of space magic, the simplest one was to replace the positions of two objects. After two years, Laguna had mastered this skill to perfection, and could even move himself instantly within a short distance.
Then...he heard about the enrollment of Demisool Magic Academy.
"In novels, many protagonists will have an experience of studying in an academy. This entrance examination is the first step to becoming famous in the magic world!"
Just like when he left his hometown, Laguna once again resolutely bid farewell to the magic shop where he had worked for five years and came to the city of Hams to take the entrance examination for Demisool College.
Here, he unexpectedly met the red-haired wizard again.
Although Laguna had long forgotten what this "life goal" looked like, some mysterious feeling told him that the red-haired man sitting on the stage was the one who stole the show at the "Magic Merchant Exchange Conference" two years ago!
"That's what a wizard should do!"
After asking around, Laguna learned that the red-haired man was from the most famous magic guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, "Fairy Tail", and was also the most famous genius in the current magic world, named Kira Hopelet.
Laguna knew that he had met his match!
" He fits the image of a 'master', 'legend', and 'big shot' in the book perfectly! If you look closely, even the carefree and unrestrained look between his eyebrows is very similar to mine! Just like when Emperor Yan met Yao Lao in the book and reached the pinnacle of pharmacists, this man must be my mentor in life!"
Laguna plans to learn from the protagonist's actions in the book and make as many friends as possible to facilitate future competitions and see if he can create a frenzy in the competition!
To this end, he also told the people around him the identities of the big guys on the stage: "Look, the old lady sitting up there is the dean of the academy. Whether we can enter the academy depends on her!"
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after saying this to the other candidates around him, Laguna felt a chill coming from a distance, and he was so scared that he didn’t dare to say a word!
Entrance examinations and graduation examinations have always been the most classic scenes in novels.
In the previous two days of competition, Laguna had been unknown. He was lurking, looking for opportunities, waiting for those so-called geniuses to show themselves, and then stepping on them to get to the top!
On the third day of the competition, Laguna really showed his skills. He used his wisdom to stir up chaos among the candidates and used magic to steal dozens of magic stones, eliminating many opponents.
Finally, Laguna set his sights on the boy who looked very similar to him.
"This black-haired guy... looks so stupid! He should also be a fan of "Magic Doomsday", because he dresses very similar to the protagonist Yan! And they both use fire magic, which is really... annoying!"
He had a premonition that if he didn't defeat this boy named Ika, his future college life would not be very good!
Laguna pretended to fall, and was about to use the "space displacement" to steal his magic stone, but was stopped by his companion with long golden hair, and missed the only chance.
"It's so nice to have friends!" This was the third time Laguna sighed from the bottom of his heart!
After a whole day of fighting, Laguna finally entered the academy of his dreams and became a magician.
But life is much more complicated than he thought!
