Durin's Diary

Chapter 139 Young man, I think you have a way to die

Mentor Czerny still needed to go through a series of procedures to officially join the job, but he still wrote a training manual for Du Lin to study first.

This manual was written for the musical ability of a complete novice, Dühring. Mentor Czerny expressed his admiration for Dühring's talent, but in the manual he severely criticized all of Dühring's basic abilities - your fingering is not good, your five fingers are not diligent, and skipping keys is like pulling a bellows. You are not worthy of being my student!
Although they are different worlds, music is indeed a kind of beauty that leads to the same destination.

After scanning the contents of the manual, Daju expressed the view that it would be no big deal if he were to write it.

What else can be said? Du Lin also understands that music is something that must be learned eventually. Otherwise, no matter who comes, Du Lin can only use the method of making a movie to slap them in the face - how can this be done? If you slap them in the face like this, many people will not accept it. To make them accept it, of course you have to make friends with the piano and hurt people with the strings!
Uh... the strings here are different from the twisted silk.

After putting away the manual, Du Lin waited for a while until Professor Czerny and Mrs. Salin came out of the principal's office, talking and laughing.

Professor Czerny decided to go to the test site to take a look.

Du Lin followed him with two little girls. Alyssa and Elaine got along surprisingly well. Before they even arrived at the scene, the two little girls started talking about which opera was the best recently.

The test site requisitioned the college's music department's exclusive small auditorium, where more than sixty students were currently answering questions - if one wanted to become Czerny's apprentice, knowledge, ability, and talent were all essential.

Of course, in the eyes of others, Dühring's talent was enough to overcome the other two shortcomings. All Mr. Czerny needed to do was to supplement Dühring's knowledge and abilities, but talent was the most important thing - as a musician, inspiration for music was the real talent.

The appearance of Professor Czerny was a surprise to the students - it meant that the old man still had expectations for his last apprentices.

Of course, the students from the School of Art among them also recognized Du Lin. After all, Du Lin was well-known as the school's cute little boy.

And Du Lin also recognized Jane Fonda Ace among the students taking the exam.

Ah, she is still in a wheelchair. It seems that becoming a student of Professor Czerny is far more important to this little girl who is still recovering from her injuries than the pain she has sustained.

Daju was speaking in a sarcastic tone.

And sitting at the table next to her was Ross Pierce.

What a coincidence! I didn’t know how to approach you, but you guys delivered the goods to my door.

This made Du Lin very happy. The smiling boy turned his head to look at Alyssa beside him. She introduced Ross Pierce to Elaine with displeasure: "Did you see that guy with a bandage on his head?

"Are you talking about Ross from the Pierce family? I've heard of him. He's a lecherous guy."

"Yeah, he's my cousin too, he's annoying."

"Then it must be very hard for you."

"That's not the case. He can't beat me. When we were little, I used my horns to knock him over and beat him several times." After saying that, the little girl looked at Du Lin with pride.

Du Lin looked at Alyssa's small round horns and felt a little guilty - to be honest, it was really scary when the little deer girl used her horns to hit you, it was really scary, it was really a punch to the lungs.

However, Dulin disagreed with what Alyssa said about the fight. Why would Alyssa from the Southern Savoy Business Alliance be a cousin of Carl? This should be just a very normal distant cousin. From the history books, human nobles have been intermarrying for a long time. It is said that in the early years, some families had genetic diseases including hemophilia, which were caused by excessive inbreeding. It was not until the mages and doctors jointly confirmed the cause of the disease that the nobles gradually began to expand the scope of their intermarriage.

This led to the unpleasant fact that among human nobles, someone they didn't know or was even their enemy might actually be their relative upon careful analysis.

Alyssa was able to beat Ross, which just proved that this kid was an unlearned and useless piece of shit.

Ross seemed to recognize Alyssa as well, and he waved at her with a flattering look on his face.

Although Alyssa snorted, perhaps because of their relationship, she nodded. “Didn’t you say he was a bad guy?” Elaine asked the doubts in her heart.

"But he is my father's sister's child after all. My father said his sister is a good sister and asked me not to hit her child, especially since this child is my cousin."

Alyssa's answer made Du Lin almost laugh out loud - so even though Ross is older, he was beaten by you since he was a child.

Come on, Mr. Ross, you are a piece of crap.

That being said, is it possible that Miss Jane is better at fighting than him?

As Du Lin was speculating, he saw that Jane had already finished the exam and handed it in. A human woman walked out from the crowd in the corner of the auditorium and pushed Jane's wheelchair.

Du Lin narrowed his eyes.

Jane Fonda Ice
Member of the Church of the God of Machinery and Craftsmen, former occupation: Witch, level seven.

Attributes:
Power: 8
Agility: 12 (-6) (injury)

Constitution: 6 (-4) (injury)

Intelligence: 15
Perception: 16
Charisma: 21
The witch is good at bewitching people. Du Lin, you'd better be careful of the witch of the evil cult.

Daju, when have you ever seen a medieval martial arts film from southern Thailand? How come there are even evil witches in it?

Du Lin looked at the human woman with a smile.

Aggie Rowling Ace
Old occupation: Warrior, level 11.

Attributes:
Power: 19
Agility: 16
Constitution: 16
Intelligence: 12
Perception: 16
Charisma: 11
Did you see the muscle texture on her arms? I have no doubt that if you were not Zhulong, she could kill two of you with one punch.

Of course Du Lin noticed Da Ju's reminder. From the beginning, Du Lin never underestimated this woman. Although she looked like a big sister next door in a skirt, when she grabbed the handle of the wheelchair, the muscles in her arms instantly rose and fell.

This was a sign of a mid-level warrior failing to control her strength, but considering the wheelchair handles were made of metal, her slight loss of control wasn't a big deal.

Miss Jane herself is weak, pitiful and helpless, but with the addition of this female bodyguard, it is a completely different story, which makes Du Lin very sorry.

So Du Lin looked at Ross.

Ross Pierce

Lawyer Path, Sequence 7: Witnesses

Attributes:
Power: 10
Agility: 12 (-4) (injury)

Constitution: 8 (-6) (injury)

Intelligence: 16

Du Lin was silent for a while, and finally he understood why Ross was beaten. With his strength and agility, he deserved to be beaten by Alyssa since he was a child.

It seems that, if nothing unexpected happens, today may be Mr. Ross Pierce's last day.
