Bab 28: Tina’s Parents Came
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Tina is too young. Also, you were the one who asked me to come here, or else I would not have discovered her talent. Therefore, I can give you three days to think about it. If you don't want her to join the Magic Academy, then we can forget today's discussion as though it had never happened!"
Charlot said faintly as he picked up his teacup and took two sips of tea.
He had his own reasons.
Tina was both cute and smart.
Moreover, she was only ten years old!
It was the age when she should be carefree and have a happy childhood!
Truthfully speaking, Charlot didn't want to ruin her childhood.
Although three years later the calamity of the Otherworld would arrive, no one would be able to stay out of it.
But, wasn't that still three years away?
Charlot even told himself that with so many terrifying enemies, perhaps the absence of a little girl wouldn't have much of an impact...
On the other side, Anthony's expression had already slowly calmed down.
He looked at Charlot and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Any individual was so feeble in the face of such a calamity that could wipe out the entire human race.
"Charlot... Tina is still young... She's only ten years old..."
Anthony's voice was low and his eyes were slightly red. He lowered his head as if he had made a huge mistake.
Charlot sighed softly.
He understood that Anthony had already given up on letting Tina enter the school.
"It's Alright, Mr. Anthony. I understand."
Charlot nodded and didn't say anything else.
After a while, Anthony stood up and went to the toy room.
A few minutes later, Nancy came to the living room with a puzzled expression.
"Charlot, Anthony asked me to sign some contract. Is that true?"
Following a nod, he took out the Scroll of Proverbs.
"This is a magic scroll. If you break the oath, you will be severely punished," explained him briefly.
"Ms. Nancy, just ask your husband if you have any questions. I have told him everything."
"Okay..." Although Nancy was puzzled, she still nodded.
Then, she made the same oath as Anthony.
"Then, I will take my leave."
After putting away the Scroll of Proverbs, Charlot stood up and said, "Mr. Charlot, let little Tina say goodbye to you. She's still waiting for you to play with her toys."
Following a brief silence, Charlot finally smiled.
"Okay."
The situation that had developed to this point was something that had exceeded Charlot's expectation.
At first, he had not thought that Anthony wanted Tina to enter the Magic Academy.
Later, he also didn't think that Tina really had such excellent magic talent!
Of course, in the end, Anthony himself chose to give up.
Charlot still had some guesses and preparations.
In the toy room, the three adults all felt a heavy pressure in their hearts.
Only Little Tina, without any worries, let Charlot play with her toys!
Charlot sighed lightly.
She was in no hurry to leave.
It was a good thing to leave more happiness in Tina's childhood.
Therefore, Charlot decided to accompany Tina and listen to her introduction of the dolls and plush toys.
She even gave each doll a name!
Listening to the little girl's happy and carefree laughter, Charlot seemed to have forgotten the pressure and laughed happily!
Beside her, Anthony hugged Nancy and looked at Charlot and Tina with a smile.
His eyes were filled with thoughts. No one knew what he was thinking about.
More than half an hour later.
Tina rubbed her eyes and yawned loudly!
At the right time, Charlot looked at Anthony and Nancy and said, "Mr. Anthony, Ms. Nancy, thank you for your hospitality today. I'll take my leave."
"Also, Ms. Nancy's dishes are really delicious!"
Charlot smiled lightly.
Under the farewell of the family, Charlot pushed open the door of the small villa.
Inside the door was a happy family of three.
Outside the door was the cold reality!
"Brother Charlot, can you come and play more often in the future?"
The little girl's crisp voice rang out.
Charlot turned around, smiled, and nodded heavily.
"Of course!"
...
After walking out of Tina's house, Charlot's mood was somewhat gloomy.
A ten-year-old little girl might only have three years left to live!
She had yet to enjoy the joy of life and the beauty of the world.
She would be reduced to ashes in that world-shaking catastrophe!
And there were still thousands of such people!
"There's no time to waste!"
Charlot pursed her lips and directly boarded the Number One car.
She quickly headed home.
The Magic Academy was being built in full swing.
Whether it was on the Internet or in real life, people's discussions about the magic and magic academy were gradually setting off a huge wave!
Charlot's identity was finally revealed to the netizens!
Countless marketing accounts started to cover news about him crazily!
"Shocking news! The Dean of the Magic Academy is actually a carer of a nursing home!"
"Exploring the secret of the nursing home! The journey to the origin of Magic!"
"A true story! The story that Charlot and I had to tell!"
"That night, Charlot and I spent three hours together!"
In the car, as he flipped through the articles of these marketing materials, he was rendered speechless!
Especially the last article, the so-called 'three hours'...
Actually, the 'three hours' referred to the time when Charlot was overseeing the construction of the academy.
He didn't know who came up with such a strange idea...
Back at home, Charlot threw herself on the desk.
It was about the enrollment and entrance examinations of the Magic Academy.
The staff team assigned to Charlot by the World Alliance had already come up with the general rules.
However, some details still needed to be finalized by him.
For example, during the enrollment, apart from the requirements for cultural results, would there be other special recruitment channels?
For example, when would the students be tested for their magic talent?
What would be different from the requirements and rules of other universities after they enrolled?
Charlot had naturally thought about these things for a long time.
Now, she only wrote them down one by one in detail.
For the next three days, he did almost the same thing.
When he was too tired, he would directly cast a Mind-clearing Spell on himself.
When he couldn't take it anymore, he would sleep for a while.
In other words, he was working in a state of dizziness.
Number One and the others who were in charge of Charlot's daily necessities were a little worried.
But because of Tina's great sense of urgency, Charlot didn't dare to stop at all!
It was also on the afternoon of the third day, an unexpected guest came to visit!
It was Tina's parents, Anthony and Nancy!
