Chapter 19: The Devil
The Sorting Hat spoke as if it were haggling with Obasan, a vegetable seller, and claimed that its idea was based on Babe Kovich's Law of Magical Balance and Abdul Barry Mohammed's Law of Magical Link, and that it was the most scientific way to get Brandi out of his predicament.
Although discussing science in the wizarding world is inherently the least scientific thing to do. And that what Muhammad sounds like the kind of halal who will pull out strange magic weapons from strange places and shout that art is an explosion.
Anyway, despite the Sorting Hat's ill-intentioned prodding, Brandi decided to take the risk and give it a try.
(Are you really sure nothing will happen?) )
"Hey, don't worry~ You can't believe me, I can't trust Gryffindor? I am his hat, the embodiment of wisdom! ”
All right...... Brandi stood firm, took a deep breath, and waved his wand.
"Fluorescent flicker!"
A handful of soft white light shot out from the head of the cane, and the space within a radius of one or two meters was suddenly illuminated.
"Okay, stay still and let your wand drain your mana..."
Before it could finish speaking, the light source at the head of the staff began to become unstable. How many seconds is this? Two seconds or three seconds?
(Hurry up!) I can't hold on! Brandi struggled to hold on to the crumbling white light in the darkness, scraping her stomach to pour the last bit of magic into her body.
"Ducks! I didn't expect you to be so weak! Hurry up, now follow me. MataMagic! ”
“MataMagic!”
At that moment, Brandi's wand erupted with a terrifying glare that was so dazzling that it looked like the midday sun! The sudden dazzle in the darkness made Brandy's eyes immediately white. He forced his eyes to sour and let out a slight muffled grunt.
(What are you doing!) Hey? This is...... )
He was about to question the Sorting Hat when he was suddenly stunned, his fluorescent spell had obviously been interrupted, and his magic power was also consumed in this instant, but he could clearly sense that the magic link between his fingers and his wand had become extremely weak, but it was still tenacious.
"It's the superdemon prefix," the Sorting Hat's serious voice came out of his head. "I've never seen a spell with an affix in front of it that causes some special variation in the spell's casting. The side effect is that it can forcibly maintain the magical connection between you and the wand... This will consume a huge amount of extra mana, and even the ancient wizards who have enough mana to move mountains and reclaim the sea are not very fond of using this trick... Well, I think you'll need to hurry up and grab the link, it won't take long for your wand to realize that the magic link still exists, and it won't be able to wait to enjoy the delicious taste in your mouth! ”
(Oh...) Damn it... It already knows. )
At this moment, a terrible storm blew through Brandi's body. Brandi could even feel a hint of something from the end of the wand between his fingers... Glad?
Probably because every time Brandi released his magic, the wand would quickly reset the magic power on his body to zero, and then he would shake off the link with a disgusted expression. is typical of picking up the bowl to eat, putting down the bowl and scolding the mother's hateful face...... This made the wand himself not expect, Brandi was always abused like this, and he actually abused his talent, his magic recovered very quickly, almost as soon as the wand was disconnected, his blue bar began to rise wildly.
As a result, this time, just after the wand was disgusted with Brandi and was about to go back to wash and sleep, Brandi immediately sent his newly grown 'fat' again. Its rod was enlightened at once......
It turns out that the magic of his master is leek, and he has cut stubble after stubble!
…………
At this moment, Brandi encountered the most dangerous and deadly situation in his entire life path to this day.
He found ...... I can't control my body anymore!
The wand's sweeping power of mana was almost inhumane, and it was even squeezing every cell in Brandy's body. Under this stimulation, Brandi felt as if he had been overpowered, and every muscle tensed. He couldn't even let go of the wand in his hand!
(I said broken hat!) Why don't you think about it? I'm really going to be sucked dry like this! )
"Calm down, calm down! I didn't expect your chalcedony to be so recognizable! Don't worry, let me think about it......" The Sorting Hat's tone was even more anxious than Brandi's, and it kept muttering to itself in Brandi's head, as if it was remembering something. "That's right! Follow me to recite the spell, this will force the end of the super-demonic state! ”
(………… )
“… Friedon, Ovis. That's all, huh? Why don't you read along! ”
(I can read a chicken leg!) Are you really a hat with Gryffindor wisdom? I didn't realize that I can't open my mouth at all now! Brandi's face was hideous, and he gritted his teeth, which was really another kind of gnashing of teeth.
"Forehead......" The Sorting Hat was very embarrassed and stopped moving, and after a while, a voice full of grievances floated over slowly. I'm telling the truth! Godric wasn't Rowena's clever chick again...... He's actually pretty stupid. ”
(……! )
Brandi's lungs, which were already breathless, didn't come up in one breath, and he was almost suffocated to death.
“… Come on... Now that this is the case, you have to try the extreme, and now try to concentrate your mind and put all your attention on it! ”
Listening to the Sorting Hat's roar in his head, Brandi lashed out, desperately feeling the magic between his fingertips and his wand.
"Focus! Watch it! Think of your spirit as a sharp sword, a great axe! Feel your magic link!! ”
(Rush up!) Then cut it off! )
Thinking like this, the surging spiritual power roared like a flood that burst the embankment!
(Ahh!!h )
"Boom!" His world suddenly went dark, and the link between consciousness and reality was severed at the same moment.
…………………………
"Wake up! Wake up...... "In the darkness, a faint voice was heard.
(Hmm...) Where am I? )
The body was limp, prostration and powerlessness dominating his body, and Brandi was groggy and groggy that he would not even move a finger.
"Bran... Advance! We have... Hoo! The sound was intermittent, as if it were coming from the sky.
You've got it...... Tell me who you are!
The small voice seemed to come closer, and there was a slight sensation in his rusty body, and he could barely feel as if he was being slapped by something. He struggled with his sluggish brain, slowly recalling what had just happened.
(Ah, that's right...... I just passed out. When he opened his eyes, his right eye seemed to be obscured by something, while his left eye was blurry and could not see anything in the faint moonlight. Presumably it was stimulated by the amazing fluorescent spell before the coma, and he hasn't recovered yet.
"Papa~Papa~~" There was a sound of constant slapping from a very close distance, very crisp, he felt that this voice was inexplicably familiar, but he hadn't reacted for a while and heard this sound anywhere.
“…… Idiot! Hurry up! We're in trouble! Big trouble! ”
As he fully heard the annoying voice that had just been spoken to him, he gradually adjusted to the light in the room, and his eyes were finally able to see vaguely in front of him.
The moon had risen high and disappeared from the window, leaving only scattered moonlight still trying to illuminate the classroom. In the darkness, there was the sound of something rubbing and rustling. The Sorting Hat somehow fell off his head, turning into a half-leaning shape on the ground, half covering the side of his face.
Oh, I see.
Brandi looked at it with a blank expression.
"Oh my God, Merlin, Brandy, you're finally awake! I was tortured next to me for almost two hours! The tip of the Sorting Hat cracked open and yelled desperately at Brandy, wondering if it was because its eyes hadn't fully recovered, or if it was a problem with the light, and it looked a little different in color now.
(…… Well, you're worried about me. )
"Eun!" There was a shudder from the Sorting Hat, presumably a human chick pecking at the tip of the hat.
(Then please don't slap my face when you call me next time!) )
"Oh......," said smirkedly, the sides of the brim reluctantly retracting towards Brandy's eerily protruding part.
…………
(Ahhh Sorting hat, you bastard, I'm fighting you! Use me as a guinea pig and casually say a way to let me play with my life, and even dare to slap my face when I pass out! Brandy's carp bounced off the ground, grabbed the Sorting Hat and buckled it over his head, and roared viciously inwardly.
Rustle ~ rustle ~
(Whoever makes you scream can't wake up, it's all a crisis, you still sleep like a dead pig, I don't slap you, I slap whom!) I'm so tired, you should bow and thank me sincerely! )”
Rustle ~ rustle ~
(Hah!) Thank you so much! As a thank you, how about I take the trouble to paint you all over the place! )
Rustle ~ rustle ~
“…… Someone has already done this, okay......" At this moment, the Sorting Hat, who had been talking excitedly, suddenly shouted to himself, and then his mood dropped significantly. This made Brandy, who was still gearing up to quarrel with it, not react for a while.
(Huh?) You, what's wrong with you? )
"What else can I ...... Didn't I say we're in trouble? See for yourself, idiot! ”
Brandi looked up in confusion, and that's when he noticed...... There was a suspicious rustle a few meters away beside him. There's another person in this classroom!
He turned his head, and a familiar figure was floating not far away, holding a drawing board in his hand and scribbling something...... His mouth was still humming with gusto, and he couldn't hear the terrible funeral march.
Merlin on top...... What the hell is going on!
He looked at the butt in front of him who seemed to be painting a portrait of himself and the Sorting Hat, and his scalp tingled.
This time, it's really a big problem!
