CHAPTER ONE

Boy from Rainbow

VOL.1

In recent days, Astrid feels that someone was following her. But she can’t find the evidence.

For example, when she was in class, she would suddenly felt her hair pulled, and then the teacher would let her answer question.

The monitor who came to collect the homework just said a few vicious words to her, then he slipped on a banana peel and fell over. However, no one ate bananas.

When she passed the newsstand on the street after school, she would see that Lady Gaga on the cover of fashion magazines would suddenly blink her eyes.

Another example is that pigeons pecking at food in the square would suddenly fly up without any influence. Or, when she was doing homework, she found that the English textbook was missed. She looked everywhere only to find that the textbook was on the desktop.

She has a strong feeling that a pair of eyes are looking at her silently.

Until today, she surprisingly find that her speculation is true.

The last lesson this morning is Reading, the favorite lesson for students who like reading books, and also the most hated lesson for students who hate books. Whether you like it or not, the teacher will send his students to the library for free reading. A necessary homework of the class is reading notes.

The reason for reading class is the library of Milo College is the most precious spiritual wealth in the region. There are many ancient books in the library, including medieval constellation interpretation, celestial observation, and even ancient magic. As a student of Milo College, how can Astrid miss it.

Astrid likes quiet places, so she chooses corners seats in the classroom and hides in the corner of the library as usual. She pulled out a book randomly on the shelf with the Ancient Magic label. It is a thick, yellowing book.

The preface says: You should know that there are many parallel worlds outside the living space of human beings, which raises Astrid’s interest.

In general, various worlds do not intersect with each other, but the ’door‘ that connect with each world exists. In certain circumstances, the’ door‘ will open...

The world of eudemon is one of the parallel worlds. Sometimes, the image of that world will be projected on the sky of the human world, which is called mirage. Then we can have a contact with that world, where there are various kinds of magic eudemon...

Occasionally, some eudemon came to our world the ’door’, and they told us more things about their world: there are many kinds of eudemon: high, medium and low. The dragon family is the highest eudemon with powerful magic. The king of the dragon family is the master of the whole family, also the king of the whole eudemon world...

Eh? Dragon? Eudemon? Eudemon world? Astrid finds it familiar. It seems that she had heard of them somewhere. Maybe in a dream? She continues to read.

There are only a few members in the dragon family, because they directly affect the balance of the whole eudemon world...

Dragon can manipulate elements, which is called magic...

Young dragons are very curious and often go to other worlds...

That world is really magical! Astrid is so fascinated that she doesn’t notice that a book floats in the air on the shelf behind her, and the pages of the book flipped over slightly, as if an invisible person is reading it.

Suddenly, Astrid heard a thunder. Eh? She ran out of the corner hustily only to find that only a few people are still in the library. The Reading class is over.

Feeling hungry, Astrid borrows the book which is a good material for homework. Then it rains cats and dogs.

Astrid stands alone under the eaves, with fewer and fewer people around. Seeing that there is no one in sight, Astrid rushes into the rain with a book in her arms... Eh? Why doesn’t the rain fall on she as expected?

She looks up in amazement-a transparent umbrella has been set up over her, blocking all the rain.

I must be dreaming! I will be called to ask questions later! Astrid pinched her arm hard. Wake up... ah, it hurts!

Is this not a dream? She opens her eyes wide, and the landscape in front of her is distorted. A transparent human figure appears. Who are you? Astrid asked.

Master, you finally perceive my existence. Said a voice.

Master?

Many years later, Astrid still remembers this moment: the rain stops gradually, the sun comes out of clouds, a beautiful rainbow is set up on the horizon, and the transparent figure in front of him becomes clearer-eyebrows, nose, jaw... Finally, a slender, cold-looking young man appears in front of her.

He is like a rainbow depicting person, an amazing beautiful young man.

However, the fact is that it isn’t a romantic story. The frightened girl jumped back and shouts, Help!

Hearing the yelling, two school policemen come, who rushes to Astrid and says, What’s the matter, Miss?

Astrid’s voice trembles, There are... ghosts!

The school police looked at each other, and one of them says, Are you OK? How can you talk nonsense? There is nothing in front of you.

What’s the matter? She speaks to herself.

The beautiful young man smiles and says: Master, after you perceive my existence, you can see my body. But others can neither see me nor hear me.

Astrid is stunned.

After the school police left, the young man says, Master, it’s no use reading ‘Prajna Paramita’. I‘m the dragon egg you adopted. You can’t cancel the covenant.

Do you mean that the dream I had a week ago is true?

In the dream, you made a covenant with the count.

After receiving the affirmative answer, Astrid is shocked. What happened a week ago reappeared in her mind.

VOL.2

A week ago...

Astrid, please answer this question! the teacher yelled.

Astrid rubbed her sleepy eyes and found that she had just fallen asleep in the class, while the teacher was looking at her angrily.

Astrid, which is the largest ellipse?

The whole class began to snicker.

Astrid stood up awkwardly, wandering around with confused eyes.

She had no choice but to hesitate and said, The largest ellipse... the playground of the school?

The whole class roared with laughter. The head teacher shouted, What are you talking about?

On the blackboard, two ellipses were drawn, one slightly round and the other slightly flat. It turned out to be the question.

Mina, who sat in the front row of Astrid, deliberately put up her textbook. Astrid saw a line of words on the blank part. The answer must be the answer! Astrid was very moved. She didn’t expect that Mina, the best girl in the class, who usually turns a blind eye to herself, would help her. Astrid squinted her eyes and tried to read the words, Figure 2... is the largest area, because it was flattened...

Ha ha ha! The whole class was laughing crazily. The teacher was livid, and he clenched his teeth: Astrid, go to do a-day volunteer work in the Love Animal society!

Now? It’s class time! Astrid’s eyes widened.

Right! Now! Anyway, you also sleep in class. The teacher thought.

Astrid lowered her head and walked out of the seat. Outside the classroom, she heard Mina’s voice answering the teacher’s question loud and clear.

It is reasonable. How can such an excellent girl like Mina make friends with an ordinary girl like her?

Milo College is a boarding school, and there are many stray cats and dogs around the campus restaurant. Love Animal society comes into being later, and the work of volunteers is to send stray cats and dogs to the community.

When passing through the remote woods, Astrid found a black kitten hiding under the bushes, with blue eyes shining in the dark. She bent over and waved to it, but the kitten ignored.

Astrid quickly walked to the Love Animal society, took a piece of bread and continued to talk to the kitten, and finally successfully hold it. She took it in her arms and took it to the club.

Since it is class time, no one was in the club, so cute animals were free to run around.

Astrid put down the kitten and began to clean the room, then fed the animals. After finishing her work, she took the kitten, sat down on the outdoor grass, and said to it, You don’t need to wander anymore. You can eat delicious food in the club, waiting for someone to adopt you.

The kitten meowed.

The bell rang, and then the teaching building went lively. Would you like hear my experience? Astrid sighed. She was not sure whether she could go back now because the teacher didn’t figure out how long she should work in the club-a class or a day?

The kitten meowed again. Astrid took it as an affirmative answer, and told the kitten her story gently.

Being ignored and teased by others, is a common thing for her.

——Astrid, there are enough students in the tug-of-war, so you can’t participate.

——Astrid, you’d better not go to the summer camp because you cannot swim.

——Astrid, don’t be sad. Anyway, we already know you can’t do anything successfully.

——Astrid, can you pretend to be ill tomorrow? This math contest is very important. Don’t drag the performance of our class.

Similar experiences were numerous.

Milo College has a long history. With strong academic atmosphere and a large number of talents, the high school is the leading talent cultivation base. However, there is a shortcoming, that is...In Milo College, where talents are gathered, maybe cursed by the witch, one or two students each year will fail to attend the university because of their poor grades. Over time, students have a strong resentment against poor students-it is because of poor students that the school’s enrollment rate can’t reach 100%!

In Senior 1 of Milo College, Astrid is the only student who had bad grades in the whole class.

Next, a small theater——

Reporter: Mr. President, would you like to share us the school’s enrollment rate?

Principal: The school’s enrollment rate is 99. 99. 99. 99... (in an infinite cycle)

Reporter: That is to say, there are still students in Milo College who fail to enroll in university?

Principal: ... (in great embarrassment)

The small theater is over.

Now, our poor heroine’s eyes were full of tears. A drop of crystal tears dipped into the soil.

The little black cat suddenly jumped out, ran to a big tree, and disappeared.

Astrid thought it was disturbed and went to look for it, but she didn’t find it. Suddenly, a silver beam flashed from the big tree. Bang, the thick trunk of the tree suddenly split, and a marble ladder with pink petals appeared.

What’s the matter? The girl was shocked. She walked up the stairs, and entered a big garden at the end of the stairs. The blooming flowers gathered into a sea of flowers.

A ladder stood in the middle of the flower sea. When climbing up the stairs, the petals were blown open, and the marble ladder surface was clear like a mirror, reflecting the girl’s surprised face.

At the end of the ladder is a crystal palace in Gothic style. Each arched window is decorated with carved flowers, and the high palace top pierces the sky like a sword.

A piece of music hovered in the air. Driven by the music, Astrid walked through the garden to the front of the crystal palace. With a squeak, the palace door opened automatically.

There was a long table in the palace, on which several European candlesticks were placed, and the candlesticks jump with bright red flames. A blond man, dressed in medieval aristocratic clothing, sat at the long table and smiled charmingly at her, Hello, welcome to the shop of the Earl of Justice.

Hello, count... would you like to tell me why there is such a place? Astrid stammered.

My beautiful guest, I can’t answer your question. It’s like asking why there are human beings and magic in the world. The Earl of Justice bowed to her. The creator created all this without any reason.

In the air, a silver long-beaked pot floated over. The pot tilted slightly and the coffee cup on the long table was filled with coffee.

Why did you invite me? Astrid took up the coffee with some apprehension. Then, one small box after another flew into the air, and each box contained a piece of parchment.

Please choose a piece of parchment from the box. The count ignored the girl’s question.

Astrid took out a parchment in a beige box and handed it to the count. The count opened his eyes and said, Congratulations, you are going to adopt an abandoned dragon egg.

There is a dragon egg drawn on that parchment.

Hem... Astrid choked on coffee and coughed violently.

After adopting the dragon egg, you can enjoy the magic of it!

Astrid tried to keep her voice steady: Sorry, count, you didn’t tell me the meaning of choosing parchment before. Besides, I’m just a student, and I‘m not able to adopt dragons... dragon eggs...

Dragon eggs! What’s that? Dragon, what is it? The dragon that manipulates rain in folklore.

A profound smile appeared on the count’s handsome face. His eyes were sophisticated, as if he had seen through her heart.

It’s a pity. You must adopt it because... it was abandoned because of you.

Huh?

The dragon family in the eudemon world is very powerful, but they were born from fragile dragon eggs. The dragon egg can’t fly without dragon cloud. But the dragon cloud has a fatal weakness-once a girl cries, whose tears evaporate into the sky, it will melt a dragon cloud. We all know what will happen if the dragon egg loses the dragon cloud?

Phantom world? Dragon cloud? Dragon egg falling from the sky? Tears? Astrid felt that she was listening to fairy tales.

Yes! Your tears made this dragon egg lose its own dragon cloud, falling from the sky to the earth. The count whispered, with his eyes filled with feelings of sadness. The dragon egg will never see his father and mother again. Is it poor?

Yes, it’s pathetic... Astrid thought that the count must be a lonely man, and may have some spiritual problems...so she had better follow his words.

Do you still want to refuse?

No...

Are you responsible for the dragon egg?

Yes.

The contract comes into effect! The count waved his hand smartly. Dragon egg, come out, you have a master!

Then, a rumbling voice came. Astrid turned and saw a huge white egg rolling down the stairs towards her

Ah! Astrid screamed, and she squatted on the ground, holding her head and. When she opened her eyes again, she only saw the wrinkled bark of the big banyan tree——

Everything was just a dream. She unexpectedly fell asleep with her head against the trunk.

VOL.3

She is informed that the dream is real, and she does make a contract in the dream.

No! Astrid exclaims, It’s just a dream!

Don’t be so excited, no one but me can see your drooling sleep. The young man says lightly.

Astrid glares at the uninvited guest and says in a skeptical tone, I remember that the dragon egg is clearly a big white egg! Who are you?

The young man says coldly, The count asked me to apologize to you on behalf of him. The young eudemon accidentally scared you. Therefore, I will accompany you in this way.

In the face of the unquestionable reality, Astrid looks up sadly and says, ... OK, what should I call you?

Elvis.

Elvis, can I cancel the contract?

Sure! However, I must remind you - Elvis shrugs his shoulders casually, as a punishment for breach of contract, you will dream of doing homework and exams every night. Total nightmare.

Well, I’m just joking.

That’s great. Elvis’s is a little impatient. After the contract comes into effect, I will temporarily serve you, master.

Hmm, master?

At this moment, an idea strikes Astrid.

That’s great, Elvis! Can you help me measure the perimeter of the playground first? Astrid is unusually excited.

Elvis says confusingly, Perimeter?

In short, you turn around and we walk along the playground in the opposite direction. You should remember how many steps. When we meet again, you tell me how many steps you have taken!

Elvis nodded silently and turned away. Looking at his figure, Astrid snickered and then she walked away secretly.

She doesn’t want to get into this trouble! Although she sympathizes with Elvis, she is weak and powerless.

As Astrid expects, Elvis doesn’t appear again in the afternoon.

Does she get rid of him?

Astrid suddenly feels lost. How should Elvis return to the eudemon world? Will anyone else adopt him? Although she stares at the textbook on the table, her mind has wondered.

The art commissioner in the class is a fat girl who likes eating pineapple bun, so others give her a nickname - pineapple bun. She holds a stack of tickets and shouts, Everyone, there will be a basketball game for the school team this afternoon. Here are tickets!

Other girls immediately cheered.

Pineapple bun, please give me a ticket.

It is said that Young Master Bai will play in this time. He’s so charming!

Really? I have been looking forward to that for a long time!

Girls all plead pineapple bun for tickets.

Could you please give me a ticket? Astrid squeezes into the crowd.

I‘m sorry, there are limited tickets. They are all booked. The last one is for me. The art
