Chapter 22: The Cursed
Only then did Edward understand Angelina's intentions.
She is afraid of a repeat of the tragedy of the wild bear tribe. If Edward made any more trouble, and the mercury workshop was forced to close, then Hogg House would really lose face. That's why she deliberately brought Edward to the office to take the test alone.
"You know the rules, right?"
"I don't understand, how do you get it?"
"Uh......"
Angelina genuinely suspected that Edward was playing tricks on her. Although reluctant, she patiently explained the rules of the test to Edward.
Similar to the Bear Tribe test, the Mercury Workshop test is divided into two tests, the Magic Test and the Brain Control Test.
Magic quiz.
All students need to do is place their hands on a special crystal ball and inject magic into it to complete the magic test. The crystal ball will emit different levels of light according to the strength of the magic power, and the brighter the light, the purer and stronger the magic power, and the higher the student's magical talent.
control quiz.
Students enter the missile enchantment and use the attack surname magic to destroy the magic missiles that appear around them within the specified time, and at the same time use the defense surname magic to resist the attack of the missiles. This test is exactly the same as the Wild Bear Tribe's skills test, even the rules are exactly the same.
"Got it?"
"Understood!" replied Edward.
"That's good. Angelina staggered a beautiful crystal ball from the shelf, struggling to hold it in her arms, and then carefully handed it to Edward, "Hey...... Here you go. ā
"Understood. ā
"Don't break it! it's very valuable!" Angelina admonished.
"Don't worry, it won't break!"
Edward took the crystal ball, placed his hands on it, and began the magic test without saying a word.
There was silence in the room, and Angelina held her breath, staring intently at the transparent crystal ball, not relaxing for a moment, as if it was not Edward who was being tested, but her.
In fact, when she heard what happened to the Wild Bear Tribe from Kane, her first reaction was, impossible!
If Emilia passed the test perfectly, why did Edward perform better than Emilia? Emilia is a brave man, she is the strongest human being, how can anyone be better than her?
Angelina couldn't figure it out.
Taking this opportunity, she wanted to find out, but ......
One second, two seconds, five seconds, one minute-
I don't know how long it took, but the crystal ball still didn't react at all, and the only light in the room was sunlight.
No light appeared.
Magic test, complete defeat.
Edward's decadent panda eyes were reflected in the colorless transparent crystal, as if mocking his incompetence.
"What the hell, this game can't be broken, is it?Angelina, why are you deliberately tricking me and giving me a broken crystal ball?" Edward patted the broken ball in frustration, a little irritated.
"You...... It can't be a Muggle, right?" Angelina sighed.
"What did you say? Hemp, Muggle?"
"Muggles - humans without a shred of magical talent!"
"How is that possible? IāI'm not a Muggle. Angelina, teach me how to get this thing?"
"......," Angelina looked at Edward in disbelief, "Hey, you don't even know how to use it, do you?"
"Of course I don't know, or rather, how could I possibly know?"
"Oh my God, did you just hold the crystal ball hard? Hey, I really lost you...... Close your eyes!" Angelina ordered.
"Oh, and then?"
"Imagine the magic flowing through your body, try to control it with your mind, and then infuse it into a crystal ball. ā
"I see. ā
He's not a Muggle, he just doesn't know how to use it.
Edward breathed a sigh of relief and began the test intently. He put his hands on the crystal ball again, followed Angelina's advice, and channeled the "magic" in his body into the crystal ball.
He's not human, so where is the magic power? If the power of the demon king is also "magical......
But there was no way, he had to do it, praying that nothing would happen.
"It's common sense, you don't even have this, you don't ...... Yes...... Well...... Huh?"
Syllable!
A crisp sound interrupted Angelina's words.
She stared blankly at what was happening in front of her, and her open little mouth could no longer close.
For some reason, the crystal ball suddenly exploded, and the transparent crystal fragments fell to the ground, scattering tiny dregs in all directions. Thanks to Edward's use of his body to block the scum in advance, they didn't get into Angelina's eyes.
"Sorry, it seems like too much magic is injected, so ...... Exploded. Edward said apologetically, "IāI should have passed, right? ā
ā...... Passed. Angelina's voice was like a whisper.
Things happened too fast. From Edward inadvertently breaking the crystal ball, to him blocking the flying debris to protect herself in a daze, Angelina doesn't know whether to thank him or blame him.
"Whew...... Next. Angelina looked at the broken crystal ball distressedly, took a deep breath, and then sorted out her emotions and said to Edward word by word.
Next, the skills quiz.
"What's wrong with you, little sister? I always feel that your face is not very good. ā
"Don't call me little sister, you broke my crystal ball, I haven't settled accounts with you yet!"
"No, no, no, you must have been bad in the first place, you can't fool me!"
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and let me into the missile enchantment. Do you want me to teach you fireball?" Angelina shoved Edward's back and drove him into the barrier.
Most mages will choose to use fireball techniques to cope with skill tests. Fireball is simple and easy to use, and is the simplest and easiest basic spell of all magic. Use the Fireball technique as the offensive surname magic, and then choose the defensive surname magic of other departments to cope with the skill test, and get twice the result with half the effort.
"Wow, little sister, you're so cute, would you like to teach me fireballs?
Just when I was worried that no one would teach me, a sticky bean bag fell from the sky, and Edward's music blossomed.
"Hey......" Angelina's face darkened, and she almost fainted.
Although she was angry, she was also a little proud.
It would have been wise not to let Edward be tested outside. If this pervert who pretends to be stupid is released, it is estimated that she will not be the only one who will be stunned by then.
Her decision saved the Mercury Workshop and saved countless new students from Edward's devastation.
It's just that there is a little bit of sadness behind this little pride......
Fireball, while the simplest form of magic, can be a huge challenge for those who have never been exposed to magic before. Especially for Edward, judging from his performance just now, he didn't even know what magic was, and saying that he was a novice was a promotion for him.
But...... Challenge?
The above conclusions are common sense of human beings, but Angelina has long since disbelieved in the so-called common sense.
Just now, she just showed Edward how to release the fireball technique, and Edward was able to draw a scoop according to the gourd and release the fireball technique smoothly.
Genius? Or pretend to be stupid?
Not only that, but what surprised her even more was yet to come. In addition to releasing fireballs perfectly, Edward could also skillfully fly the fireballs in his hands, he was like an experienced old magician, and he couldn't tell that he was just a novice who had just learned fireballs.
Angelina was no longer surprised by such a thing that did not conform to common sense.
Entering the enchantment, a familiar aura appeared all around, and dense purple missiles followed. It's just that after seeing Kane's missile enchantment, this level of barrage no longer poses the slightest threat to Edward.
Without any accidents or accidents, Edward, who had mastered the fireball technique, easily passed the skill test.
Although Angelina didn't teach him to defend against magic, he didn't need to defend at all. The red fireball was like a wolf rushing into a flock, devouring the purple magic missile, and by the time Angelina came to her senses, the test was over.
Naturally, he was granted admission to the Mercury Workshop, and Edward became the only student at Hoag House who was both a wizard and a warrior.
"The Demon Swordsman - a cursed profession. No human being can be favored by both sword and sorcery at the same time. Angelina sighed and sincerely persuaded Edward, "The God of Light will not shelter the greedy, so you better give up." ā
"God of Light, I didn't expect you to believe in God. Edward was taken aback, and he asked seriously, "The God of Light will not shelter the greedy, but what about the people of God? Will she protect them all?"
"What do you want to say?"
"Amilia. Will God protect her too?"
Edward asked with a smile.
