The bone of sin domain is king

Chapter 357 No.60 Act Eight. Acceptance Speech
You'd be lying if you said it was unexpected.

Grantia knew the difference between the camera in his hand and other contestants, so he was not surprised that he won the championship.

What really disturbed her was the reaction of Alisa around her.

In the process of getting along with the two just now, Grandia deliberately avoided the question of winning the magic competition, but now that the result of the competition has been announced, there is no room for evasion of this question.

Grandia looked at Alisa.

But unexpectedly, Alisa did not show any resentment, but still had that gentle smile.

"Alyssa, me"

Grandia thought of what Alisa had said to herself. This was the only chance Alisa had to communicate with her strict father, but as her friend, she ruthlessly took away this opportunity.

"It doesn't matter, you fulfilled the agreement with me and went all out to participate in the competition. For me, this is more important than anything else."

Alyssa smiled and pushed Grandia gently.

"Now, it's time to prove yourself."

Grandia was silent, she thought for a while, and then directly took Alisa's hand.

"Hey, oh, Grandia, what are you going to do?"

Alyssa showed a panicked expression for the first time. She looked at Grandia who was holding her wrist in confusion, and after thinking about it, she still didn't let go.

"Don't ask, come here."

Grandia just took Arisa's hand and walked towards the stage.

In the process, the two also changed from the posture where Grandia was forcibly pulling Alyssa to the posture of interlocking fingers and moving forward together.

When the two stepped onto the stage, the crowd below was once again excited.

But they didn't care.

"Uh, Grandia-san, may I ask who this is?"

Principal Trestan was also a little confused, so he glanced at the regent's side. Grand Duke Angele and Queen Ariel Fels didn't have any objections, so he didn't say much.

"Let's invite Grantia Ulysses to give her acceptance speech."

He said, handing the amplifying crystal to Grandia, and then stood aside.

"Thank you."

Grandia took the amplifying crystal, looked at the dark crowd below the stage, and then at Alisa beside her, before speaking.

"Well, actually I haven't prepared an acceptance speech before, and I don't know how to say it better. In fact, a few months ago, I was still a beginner with only a vague understanding of magic."

Her heartbeat was fast, but she still tried her best to stay calm. Alyssa's body temperature came from her palm, allowing Grandia to gradually calm down.

"After that, the opportunity to participate in the competition was very accidental. I met a friend from afar. With his encouragement and guidance, I was able to come here step by step and stand on this stage."

Many people directly interpreted her words as thanks to a certain powerful family behind her for supporting her, but they didn't have any special reaction.

"Of course, there are also my good roommate Lottie and the help of Alisa, who is also a contestant. With them, I can persevere and continue to compete."

Grandia glanced at Alyssa, the girl looked at herself with a smile on her face.

"Once, when I was very young, I liked to read all kinds of legendary novels and adventure stories. I liked dragons and princesses, knights and demons, and those faraway places that I had never heard of. I liked such stories very much, because In reality, we are too ordinary.”

With that said, Grandia also gradually calmed down.

"But later, after I really experienced life and death, I realized that adventures are not as beautiful as written in the stories. Real battles are always accompanied by death. Similarly, the magic we learn is not so easy to master. It can change lives.”

The students below were still whispering, but after Grandia spoke, they gradually calmed down, and everyone was quietly listening to Grandia's speech.

"Under the magic, there may be the shadow of war, and there may be dark facts."

Many people thought about what they saw today and the wars that broke out in the past, in which magic played a less glorious role.

"But I still think that magic is a beautiful thing. In fact, during the competition, I gradually felt that magic can bring people more smiles and more surprises. I am very glad that I have become Master Apprentice, came to Christine, and met those friendly teachers and classmates."

Grandia said, also showing a smile.

"Not long ago, I met a very powerful mage. He told me how magic appeared and what magic meant. Magic born from suffering, through tears, and finally revealed to people. , should exist to bring smiles to people. And through this magic competition, I also have my own understanding of magic."

She said, taking out a crystal from her pocket, and after a little manipulation, a string of words was projected into the air.

"Believe me, this is my magic."

The students present fell into silence.

Grandia's speech was very messy, not so contagious and provocative, so it can be regarded as an unsuccessful speech.

However, what is contained in it is moving.

The students here have different backgrounds and hometowns, but they came to Christian King's Academy with the same goal, which is to learn magic.

Grantia's speech may not explain how to learn magic well, but it explains a very critical issue.

That's what magic is.

Perhaps knowing the essence of magic is more important than mastering magic.

Magic is not just a tool, but also a knowledge, which embodies the painstaking efforts of ancient sages and modern wise men.

Suddenly, there was applause in the quiet square.

Grandia saw Lottie applauding vigorously in the audience, her hands turning red.

Then, under the leadership of Lottie, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

"Very good speech. Knowing why to use magic is indeed more important than learning more magic, and it is also more difficult to see."

Professor Siegfried, who was at the side, also raised his hands and applauded.

Grandia didn't expect such applause. She felt her nose a little sour, and the scenes of the past few months kept flashing back in her mind.

[Ash without fire: It seems that you have indeed found your own path. 】

In the field of vision, Rosen also congratulated Grandia.

Grandia couldn't help looking at Alyssa, and the girl who was holding hands with her returned the same fiery eyes.

Then, amidst waves of warm applause, Grandia hugged Alisa tightly.
