Chapter 255: My name is Peach
She ran all the way into the door of the black hole in the school building and disappeared.
Wu Xuanyuan stood stunned, his hands still holding the strength of the girl when she pushed him away. The squad leader behind him came over again and said sneeringly:
"I said a long time ago, the people here won't be friends with you. Doesn't understand anything, hillbilly. ”
With that, he ghostly walked away.
The more he said this, the more determined Wu Xuanyuan's eyes became, and he secretly made up his mind that he would definitely make friends here. An inexplicable courage surged over him, and he chased in the direction the girl had left.
As he walked past the classroom, he poked his head in. At the door of the divination classroom, Wu Xuanyuan caught a glimpse of a burst of red light flashing inside the door, and he immediately stopped and looked inside.
The girl was sitting at a table, her hands crossed at her wrists in front of her chest, holding a crystal ball that radiated a magnificent light. The surrounding walls are filled with strange lights and shadows.
Her lips collided slightly, as if she were chanting a spell. "Great fate, please show the descendants of the Xingchen clan and the Wu clan, that mysterious future ......"
However, as Wu Xuanyuan approached, she noticed a strange aura, and her gloomy face frowned slightly, which ended the spell.
The crystal ball's light waned, floating silently in front of her, and she opened her eyes.
Wu Xuanyuan saw the crystal ball for the first time, and he was very curious, and he recklessly stretched out his hand to touch it.
"Don't move!"
The girl said sharply, and when she met her gaze, Wu Xuanyuan was so frightened that she retracted her hand.
"Is there anything wrong with you?"
The girl's tone was cold and rejected.
"You say, have you seen me?" Wu Xuanyuan asked bluntly.
"Yes, I've seen it in a crystal ball. The girl turned her head away, as if she didn't want to see him.
"Crystal Ball ?......"
"Although my divination skills are still very weak, I can only see some sporadic images. But I'm sure you've been in my crystal ball many times. She replied. "Now, you can go? I'm going to practice. ”
Wu Xuanyuan's gaze did not retreat, he looked firmly into the girl's eyes:
"I have one more thing to tell you. ”
"What's the matter. ”
"I want to be friends with you, and I won't give up. ”
The girl's heart trembled inexplicably. The depths of his clear, bright gaze were like a burning flame, hot and silent. The girl's face immediately flushed and she lowered her head.
Seeing that she bowed her head and was silent, Wu Xuanyuan asked again, "Can you tell me your name?"
The girl's hand under the tabletop was nervously pinching the lace on the hem of her skirt, and her palms were already oozing with sweat. She was restless, and her heart was always calm and unwavering, like falling into a stone, rippling in circles.
Wu Xuanyuan stood up and walked towards the door.
"If you don't want to answer now, I'll ask you again the next time we meet. ”
She hurriedly raised her head: "Wait......" Although the words blurted out, her voice was choked again. "I, my name is Witch Peach. ”
After saying that, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
In the Wu clan, 10-13 years old is the time when the ability is at its most vigorous, and if you don't break through the bottleneck beyond this age, your mana won't increase anymore.
At that time, the village will hold a "poison pool trial" to help them break through the bottleneck, and all children of this age will be thrown into a poison pool, and when the trial is over, only one of them can survive.
He will absorb all the abilities of everyone else, so that he can break through the bottleneck and soar to new heights of power.
The Poison Pool Trial, also known as the "Hundred People Poison Pool", is exactly one hundred students in each class. Time flies in the blink of an eye, and it's the day of graduation from the junior magic academy.
The village chief himself came to the magic academy and led the students into the proving ground in the center of the village. Every year's poison pool trial is a major event for the Wu clan, attracting many onlookers in the village.
The Proving Ground is a tower-shaped building, with the auditorium on the upper floor and a large poison pool in the center of the ground floor, which is usually empty when it is not in use, and is only filled with venom when it is in use.
Before entering the poison pool testing ground, the students all lined up and swore an oath one after another.
"I offer it voluntarily!"
The squad leader, who was at the front of the team, solemnly swore an oath with a fist in his right hand. The person in charge handed him a number plate, and he entered the testing ground.
When she arrived at Peach, she stood in front of the oath table, took a deep breath, looked painful and resolute, and said:
"I offer it voluntarily!"
There were many people in front of him who swore an oath in turn, Wu Xuanyuan was a little puzzled, and asked the people around him:
"Wait, what does that mean?"
"Hillbilly, you're stupid again, you don't even know this! This is the tradition of our Wu clan, the oath that will be made before the poison pool trial, don't waste time, just follow along, hurry up." The man behind him pushed him.
When he came to the stage, he said, "I will make a sacrifice of my own volition." "I swore an oath so inexplicably.
After coming here, Wu Xuanyuan felt that the atmosphere among the students was very strange. Everyone stopped talking to each other, and even their eyes became cold.
They were divided into groups according to the number plates and arranged into the preparation room on the ground floor. The other side of the preparation room leads to the center of the poison pool.
Wu Xuanyuan was wondering, which group Peaches was assigned to? Just as he was about to walk out of the preparation room to find her, he was stopped by the dean:
"Wu Xuanyuan, the poison pool trial is about to begin, don't walk around. ”
The teachers brought him back to the preparation room and locked the door.
At the top of the trial ground, sat the village chief and the dean of the academy, who were in charge of overseeing this year's trial. The village chief asked:
"Dean Wu Yili, who do you think is likely to win this year's poison pool trial?"
The dean handed him the children's materials.
"I'm afraid it's this boy from a foreign country. ”
"Oh, from a foreign country?"
"From the moment he entered the school, I wanted to train him. Not only is he talented, but he always has inseparable emotions for the people around him. ”
The Dean further explained:
"The children of the Wu clan, in order to become excellent poisoners, have all closed their inner emotions early. This child from a foreign country is simple and kind, unlike everyone else. And the most powerful poison technique of the Wu clan is that when cultivating, the essence of the dearest and beloved ones is extracted, which is also the secret of the Wu clan's strength. ”
The village chief nodded in satisfaction. "However, I heard that a child named Witch Peach learned the art of divination at a young age, and I feel a little sorry that this child cannot stand out. ”。
"It's not a pity that the talents of these children will eventually be concentrated in one child. ”
After a while, the audience was full of people, who watched quietly, sometimes whispering, guessing who would be the final winner this year. The expression was mixed with complicated feelings that could not bear to be intertwined with anticipation.
