You call this a black hand?
66 Standing Up
The girl in the ghost mask is named Fanny Ardant. She is a very quiet-looking brown-haired girl. Her image is completely inconsistent with her performance last night.
If she hadn't taken the initiative to introduce him, Meren would definitely not have recognized her.
Relatively speaking, Mellen took a few more glances at her fiancé who came with her.
Because this guy is wearing a pair of pince-nez, his hair is a little messy, and his figure is thin, he looks like Harry Potter.
They claimed to be intern reporters from the "Wizard Education Newspaper", and the reason for interviewing Mellen was not the "Kevin incident" that everyone was talking about now, but the duel at the banquet.
"So, as one of the parties involved, what do you think of that duel?"
The short wizard Mike was surprised when Mellen proposed that he would not leave the Half-Blood Association, and then he was blocked by these two reporters.
So he followed Mellen in a daze to the reception room of the Mixed Race Association and were interviewed together.
"I think Egg may have been a little out of shape during the duel."
He told the truth: "At that time, he should have been distracted by the group of enemies at the banquet, so if it happens again, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose."
These words were very sincere. The brown-haired girl Fanny nodded seriously when she heard this, looking very rigorous.
But when she saw her fiancé's honest written record beside her, she grabbed the interview book, crossed out the words on it, and rewrote a paragraph.
"Mike, a disciple of Jervinson, the chief master of the Duel Club, admitted that he barely managed to win. If he had to do it again, he doesn't think he could beat Egg Wilson of the Mixed-blood Association."
The short wizard was sitting on the sofa opposite. He could not see the content of the interview that Fanny had placed on her lap, so he had no idea that it had been arranged in this way.
Mellen had sharp eyes and saw it clearly, which surprised him a little.
The person who spoke for me at the banquet last night may have been speaking out of a sense of justice.
In this situation, why is she still facing him like this?
It's a pity that this person currently looks serious, and Meren can't tell what she has in mind.
The "fiancé" sitting next to her, seeing Melen's strange expression, gave Melen a wry smile -
Mellen also didn't know what he was laughing at.
"So, before the banquet, do you understand that this duel is actually not simple?"
The brown-haired girl Fanny was still asking the short wizard questions.
"I think I have some understanding. Jim from the Ernest family made a bet with me. If Thales loses to Egg, I will stand up and continue to challenge him."
[Mike, a disciple of Chief Duel Master Jervinson, was indirectly involved in Kevin's plan, but he regretted that he did not face Egg Wilson in his prime, which gave him a sense of invincibility. ]
"You mentioned before that when the riot started, you and Iger stayed away from the battlefield together. Why did you meet Iger?"
"It just so happened that I just wanted to escape through the window, but I didn't expect Egg to be standing outside. Just because I saw those snakes..."
[Mike admitted that if he had not been lucky enough to meet Egg Wilson, he might have died in that catastrophic attack. Faced with the dangerous escape situation, Egg Wilson did not forget to rescue him who was seriously injured and fell to the ground. This
Mike was greatly moved...]
…
One question and one answer, time flies by.
After several conversations, a page full of notes was completed, and then the short wizard was invited out of the living room in a daze.
The brown-haired girl Fanny then looked at Mellen.
Mellen then sat upright and prepared for the attack.
Although he has had the experience of being interviewed before, this is the first time he is being interviewed by a wizard, or his subsequent remarks will appear in front of the public in the wizarding world. Of course, he needs to be treated with caution.
The first impression is very important, so although he never thought that he would become a public figure in the future, Mellen would not take it lightly.
After all, reputation can at some point be converted into many other benefits, such as wealth, connections, status, and even privileges.
However, the first question Fanny asked next made Meren somewhat unexpected.
"As a boy in puberty, you don't have a pimple on your face? And it looks smoother and whiter than most girls... Egg Wilson, can you tell me how you usually take care of your skin?
?”
The brown-haired girl looked serious when she asked, but there was a hint of inexplicable excitement in her eyes.
Does the coverage of Wizard Education News also include skin care...
The smile on Mellen's face was a little stiff, and he looked at his fiancé's brother next to Fanny.
The other party gave him another wry smile.
Obviously you can't count on him.
Meren then calmed down his strange mood and looked back at the brown-haired girl who was looking at him in a serious manner.
"I usually use some cucumber slices and apply it on my face, which can fully keep the skin moisturized, and then add some..."
I didn't say it was natural, because saying so would not bring any beneficial impression other than arousing envy and jealousy.
In turn, introducing some skin care tips can make some female readers feel close to him.
This is not because this little trick is so good that everyone who uses it says it is good.
But because Melen showed that he also "maintains skin" on a daily basis——
Why are some people indifferent when facing strangers or public figures in newspapers, while others can't help but develop a cordial attitude?
One of the reasons is that the public figure has certain characteristics, or labels, that are the same as the readers.
People are always most familiar with themselves. To put it more extreme, people always like themselves the most.
Therefore, if a person meets someone who is the same as or very similar to him or her in some aspects, he or she will subconsciously feel close to him or her.
For example, both like to raise cats, both like to sleep on rainy days, and both have introverted and straightforward personalities...
Some Western politicians in previous lives liked to use this little trick to express themselves, which can be seen in their personal introductions or their daily activities.
He is a good father, a good neighbor, likes to watch dramas, has an unfulfilled son, and loves to watch A Song of Ice and Fire.
Simple and crude, but very effective.
At least at the moment, the brown-haired girl with a seemingly serious expression looked at Melen with a sense of surprise and intimacy - her previous attitude seemed to be teasing Melen, not so serious.
So the second question seems relatively normal.
"When we first came in, we heard that you were not planning to leave the Mixed-blood Association. Why did you think so? Is it because you couldn't bear to leave here?"
"That's just one aspect."
Mellen said with a slight "embarrassment": "On the other hand, I think staying in the mixed-blood association can more directly fight against those enemies who try to split the relationship between pure-blood and mixed-blood. This is at least more effective than if I went to a pure-blood family.
I can make a contribution, even though I'm still a wizard apprentice, so I won't be able to contribute much."
These words are a bit false and unreasonable, but Mellen did not say these words to be down-to-earth.
In other words, the purpose of what he said was to cater to those unconnected groups.
That is, some of the higher-ups in the wizarding world.
Mellen didn't know much about upper-level politics, but he could tell the whole story with a quick glance. Although mixed-race wizards were currently suffering from discrimination, their status in the wizarding world was slowly improving.
This can be seen from the fact that the old president secured an admission spot in a top school.
What does this mean?
This means that although mainstream pure-bloods naturally despise mixed-bloods, the small group of people who currently control the wizarding world are consciously mitigating this problem.
Mellen felt that even though he had caught the Felix family's skin last night, there wouldn't be too many disturbances when he went to school.
But from his previous conversation with the old president, he saw another possibility.
That is, if you don't choose to join the pure-blood side, no matter how enthusiastic the pure-bloods are now, they will appear cold next.
Although it's okay to be treated coldly, now that he has this voice channel coming to his door, Mellen will certainly not miss the opportunity to "buff" himself.
Skip the petty quarrel between mixed-blood and pure-blood, and directly cater to the ideas of the higher-ups in the wizarding world, or to cater to the dominant group of moderates.
Isn't this a form of political correctness?
Therefore, his unwillingness to leave the mixed-race association can be interpreted as sacrificing the small self to fulfill the greater self.
On the other hand, the senior officials are certainly not so stupid that they cannot see through Mellen's little thoughts.
But if you see through it without saying it, Mellen's words are conducive to promoting their "political ambitions", so of course they will not reject it, but will express their appreciation.
Of course, the premise of saying this is that this report will be seen and not ignored.
This is no longer within the controllable range.
In short, Mellen's idea is very simple. Do your best and listen to fate. Whether you can get the buff depends on luck.
…
The brown-haired girl Fanny did not realize the specific effect of Mellen's words, but this did not prevent her from expressing her affirmation of it.
She didn't think there was any hypocrisy in Mellen's false words.
In fact, almost everyone interviewed makes some false and empty remarks.
After all, if you don’t make false claims, you can’t say that you are a profit-seeking person, right?
Regarding this point, Kevin went even further in the newspaper.
For the sake of the future of the wizarding world, we are willing to take risks, duty-bound, and fight against the enemy, which can better reflect the glory of pure blood.
He didn't even mention that this matter involved his mother-in-law's territory. He was trying to please her and handle personal matters.
So the next interview was conducted in a very harmonious atmosphere.
As the interview continued, the image of an honest child who was mature, had a view of the overall situation, valued emotions, but was occasionally shy was quietly born.
This kind of personality is the most popular among "officials", and considering Mellen's excellent appearance, he also has an advantage among women.
"I have a hunch that if this report is published, you will be more popular than Kevin."
After finishing the interview, Mellen was shaking hands with the brown-haired girl when he heard a sudden sentence from his "fiancé" who was reviewing the interview script next to him.
This surprised him a little, but before Meren could respond, the brown-haired girl holding his hand nodded seriously.
"Although Kevin is smart, he is too ugly. Of course, he cannot be as popular as Iger."
Saying this, she not only did not let go of Melen's hand, but gently touched the back of Melun's hand with her other hand, sighing with emotion on her face.
"Look at this skin, how smooth and tender it is... Egg, if it weren't for your Adam's apple, I would have thought you were a woman."
Damn, I met a female gangster...
The smile on Mellen's face froze, and he couldn't help but look at his "fiancé" beside him.
However, what he didn't expect was that for his fiancée to be so "tough and wolfish", the guy instead gave Melen a wry smile.
"Sorry, Mr. Wilson, that's just her personality, please don't mind."
…
The three people here are "chatting".
Over there, the old president Jacques has returned to the association's headquarters from Chelsea Manor.
He seemed to have encountered some special circumstances, and even looked a little dazed. He didn't even pay attention to the greeting from Vice President Victor.
It wasn't until the old assessor ran up to him and claimed that preparations for the memory inheritance-related ceremony had begun that he suddenly woke up.
"Memory inheritance? You mean..."
"Yes."
The old assessor nodded, with a pleased smile on his face, "Ige has decided to stay."
"This is such a happy event."
President Jacques smiled when he heard this, but his expression was still a little absent-minded.
"What bad thing happened to you?" Seeing him like this, the expression on the old examiner's face became serious.
"On the contrary, it is a good thing."
President Jacques shook his head and said, "It's so good that I thought I was dreaming."
"I even wonder if there is any trap here."
"What happened?" The old examiner was a little confused.
President Jacques then whispered to him.
The old man was momentarily confused.
