Chapter 1654: Bruce Wei En and the Philosopher's Stone (Part 5)

"First of all, what I want to introduce to you and set an example for is that all students of this academy must wear school uniforms at all times. Whether you are in class or in the common room, you are not allowed to wear any clothes other than school uniforms, unless celebration activities such as balls require wearing formal wear. You can only change out of school uniforms after you receive notice."

"Your seniors are your role models. As of now, our academy has not found any cases of violating the dress code by not wearing school uniforms, while the other three houses have."

Schiller, wearing a mage robe, looked around at all the students and said: "I think no one would be happy to be mocked as a poor ghost, and if you wear silk and satin all over, it is equivalent to mocking others' family background at all times."

"Perhaps you don't care, but I hope you remember that magical talent is God's gift, not something you can surpass others in academics just because you have a superior family background."

"And your real family background is useless in the magical world. After graduation in the future, everyone will rely on their own abilities. If you show off too much and make enemies everywhere, I'm afraid the road ahead will be much harder to walk."

Schiller did not overly emphasize rules and authority, but explained the principles very clearly. Most children could understand, so they all obediently took the school uniforms and went to the lounge nearby to change into them.

Although the four houses represent different colors, the school uniforms are all black, just with slight differences in tailoring.

Zatara House, which is the School of Magical Craftsmanship, will make the sleeves slightly shorter and leave a part of the tightening room at the cuffs to prevent the sleeves from blocking the hands when stirring potions or disassembling machines.

Strange House has shortened the coat cloak a lot, because if the cloak is grabbed and pulled down in magical combat, it is easy to hurt the fragile back of the head, even if it is a competition between students, it is a bit dangerous.

Wei En House has changed the collar of the school uniform lining into a suit-style stand-up collar, which can make people look more energetic, and at the same time allow the tie to be better displayed. They pay more attention to image than other houses.

And the school uniform of Rodriguez House is the school uniform of a very traditional church school, black shirt or sweater lining, black trousers, soft cowhide leather shoes, paired with long sleeves and a coat with a long back hem, not much different from the Hogwarts school uniform.

And the deans of several houses must also wear formal wear. Formal wear in the magical world is actually a traditional mage robe, and because mainstream magic in modern times originated in Europe, to be precise, originated in the UK, the mage robe looks not much different from the school uniform. The main thing is that the back hem of the coat will be longer or even drag on the ground, the sleeves are also wider, and the front placket and hem of the coat have gorgeous dark patterns. At the same time, faculty and staff can wear colored ties with different colors and patterns.

Schiller wore a paisley dark blue tie, which was no different from when he wore a suit, but the robe with softer material weakened the colder temperament on him and showed a classical style of elegance.

Schiller continued to talk about the precautions in the academy, but most of them were no different from schools in the ordinary human society, such as no smoking, drinking, fighting, no being late for class, no skipping class at will, and must have a valid reason for asking for leave, etc.

"In addition, I need to emphasize that the second room at the end of the fourth floor of the main castle is not allowed to be entered." Schiller stretched out a hand to show emphasis and said: "I hope you can abide by the school rules and not go to the forbidden area where you are not allowed to enter at will. This is the most basic respect."

"I also hope you can inform some of your more forgetful partners of this rule. Violating school rules will do you no good. Only in this matter do you need to maintain awe."

"Alright, next we need to elect the prefect for the freshman grade. We don't practice democratic voting here. In the case where neither side knows anything about the other, most people don't know who to vote for."

"So I will give you ten minutes to internally recommend a prefect. I will not interfere with the results of your recommendation. The person you choose will ultimately be the prefect of this grade... Start."

After speaking, Schiller turned and walked over to start organizing the books on the bookshelves. The senior students also walked away one after another, leaving time for the freshmen. The few freshmen looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first.

"Hey, I say, we can't just stare at each other for ten minutes, right?" A black boy rolled his eyes and said in a fast-paced tone: "I have an idea, I don't know if you agree."

"Do you want to be the prefect?" a girl asked.

"No, not me, I can't deal with that guy from the Wei En family. I mean him, yes, it's him."

The black boy pulled Barry Allen to the center of the sofa, and in an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"That annoying blue-eyed boy, just because he accidentally bumped into him, he scolded people so sharply. But his arrogance also caused trouble for himself. He missed the prefect election. If we want to make him jump with anger, we have to push the person he looks down on the most to be the prefect."

Barry widened his eyes and immediately retorted: "No, this is too rash! How can you decide the candidate for prefect at will just for the sake of fighting?"

But the girl who spoke before blinked lightly and said: "I think this is a good idea. Think about it, what if that arrogant guy becomes the prefect? He will definitely bully all of us. Now he has no chance, we have to seize this opportunity to kill his arrogance."

"If we let him continue to be so arrogant, even if he is not the prefect, we won't have a good life, what do you think?"

The other children nodded one after another, and another child helped out: "Whatever he wants most, we have to go against him. He said he didn't want this... uh, what's your name again? Barry, he didn't want Barry to come to our house, so we insist that he be in this house, and he must be the prefect, so that if he bullies us in the future, we can use this to mock him."

"Hey, wait." Barry said quite anxiously: "This is not good, I really don't have the ability to be a prefect."

"You also have to consider yourself, Barry." The black boy grabbed Barry's sleeve and said: "If the prefect is someone else, and he can't stop that Wei En, then you will definitely be bullied very miserably by him. He might make you take on all the cleaning work, and maybe he will laugh at you for being a poor ghost every day."

Barry opened his mouth, just wanting to say that this actually didn't matter, but everyone else had already made the decision. The black boy immediately stretched out a hand and said: "We have already decided, let this Mr. Barry Allen serve as the prefect of our grade. We believe he will do a good job."

Schiller, who was standing by the railing on the second floor looking down, nodded and didn't say anything. Barry stood up with a "swoosh", wanting to express his opinion, but at this time Kane rushed up very enthusiastically, gave Barry a hug and said.

"I knew you could do it. You are different from those who don't follow the rules and have no manners, and you are quite persistent in your own choices, with a stubbornness that is not afraid of power. With you here, the discipline of your grade will definitely make the professor feel at ease."

The words that reached Barry's mouth were swallowed back by him. He looked up at Schiller and found that the gaze of this serious professor at this moment was quite gentle, and there was even a hint of encouragement in his eyes.

At this moment, Barry understood that the arrogant and domineering attitude of little Bruce made almost everyone present very dissatisfied, but most people couldn't compete with a child, so they used this way to fight back.

But Barry couldn't refuse at this time, because he knew that someone had to stand up and take this responsibility. What was important was not the duty of the prefect, but that he must be able to suppress this rebellious and arrogant Wei En family child. If he was allowed to run rampant in the school, it would definitely hurt many people.

Barry had been a child with a strong sense of justice since he was a child, and the qualities of truth, goodness, and beauty were vividly reflected in him, so he decided to take on this responsibility and not give little Bruce any chance to bully others.

"Children, there are ten minutes left until dinner time. If there are no other questions, go to the auditorium for dinner with the senior students. They will focus on introducing you to the rules of life and work. We will see you at dinner."

Schiller nodded slightly to them and walked upstairs along the stairs. Barry looked at his disappearing back, looked down at the school uniform on his body, and sighed softly.

"What's wrong with you? Do you feel uncomfortable?" Kane looked at Barry, who was walking at the end of the line, with some concern.

Barry shook his head and said: "Just feeling a little worried about our future."

"Are you worried about that Wei En?"

"A little, but not all. I'm more worried about myself. I'm not sure I have the ability to arrange everything. I'm usually the one who follows arrangements."

"If that's the case, you wouldn't have tried to refute him and reason with him when little Wei En insulted you." Kane said with a smile: "I can see that you have a stubbornness in your bones that doesn't compromise. Keep this momentum, he can't do anything to you."

"I hope so."

When they reached the auditorium, it was raining again in the inner world. The drizzling rain hit the stone road in front of the auditorium door, and the smooth stone slabs could reflect everyone's face.

The students walked into the auditorium in an orderly manner. Barry was stunned the moment he walked into the auditorium—countless floating tables and chairs swayed in the air, magical flames emitting strange luster surrounded them, food emitting fragrance flew from mid-air, and the sound of tableware landing on the table and colliding with each other was like the prelude to a legendary grand piece of music.

Standing at the door of the auditorium, the interior and exterior were like two completely different worlds. The damp breath of the lingering cold rain outside was still lingering on the tip of Barry's nose, but the warm food fragrance full of oil had already led his soul inside.

His back seemed to be still on the cliff accepting the whipping of the cold wind and rain, but his arm had been led into the gate of a brand-new magnificent world. Barry followed his instinct and walked into the auditorium.

Strange fantasies were churning in Barry's mind. He sometimes flew into the clouds, sometimes sank into the seabed, sometimes walked in the misty mountains and forests, and sometimes climbed on the cliffs.

When he heard the crisp bell ringing of the wonders in his dreams knocking on his heart, he made up his mind that he would walk into this magical world and enjoy every second here.

Thinking this way, Barry's gaze fell on an annoying figure who was sitting at the dining table early. He thought, no one can destroy his beautiful life in the Academy of Magic, not even Wei En.

Just as Kane commented, although Barry was gentle and calm on the surface, he actually had a stubbornness in his bones that would not turn back until he hit the south wall. No one could stop what he wanted to do. ===== CHAPTER 1655 =====
