4. The Witch's Dispute
"You're not qualified, please go back. ”
Crisply, neatly, as if it should be, Lilith had just replied, and she had already been eliminated.
No, according to the theorem of the protagonist's aura, shouldn't he have succeeded in becoming one of the two inductees with a perfect answer? There's no reason to lose so quickly, right?
The examiner does not seem to be at all bothered by the so-called "solar eclipse phenomenon" on the horizon and continues his duties.
That's right, the question I answered her at the beginning was a simple question about why she wanted to participate in the selection. The obvious answer, as long as you think about it, you can't go wrong.
So, Lilith gave an answer that the cultists would agree with and should have.
"In order to fulfill the wishes of others. ”
And then it makes sense...... was eliminated.
But now that I think about it, this kind of answer is impossible for other believers to think of, and they are all eliminated without exception, that is to say, the answer is not this at all.
I made a mistake, and now, I seem to have lost the best and safest way to see Asmo.
"Excuse me, why did you participate in this selection?"
Another examiner next to her made the same, somewhat inorganic sound, and Lilith, who was already standing on the side, noticed that the other examiner was now asking the same question.
And the one who needs to answer is Cecia.
“......”
What would Cecia say? Would she ......
"Good, you're qualified. With a well-deserved look, the examiner wasn't happy at all that he had chosen a passing candidate out of the 1 in 1,000 chance, but it made the people around him explode.
Cecia didn't say anything, no. It should be said that she didn't do anything at all, and Lilith saw this very clearly. The only thing I could feel just now was Cecia's. About the fluctuation of magic, but what kind of magic is that? Or if it's just a leak of magic, Lilith doesn't know.
The surrounding cultists all gathered around, because not only Lilith herself, but also the rest of the cultists had also seen the strange scene just now, and even forgot about the "solar eclipse" on the horizon.
True, Cecia didn't say anything, but she qualified, and there was a 1 in 1,000 chance of running into it. Albeit. Maybe she already knew the answer.
What is the answer?
Cecia certainly wouldn't sue herself, but...... The only thing that is certain is that the answer is certainly not as simple as not talking.
If that's the case, then the rest of the cultists must be qualified, and Lilith bets that there will definitely be more than just silence.
By the way, the fluctuation of the magic just now, could it be that Cecia used some kind of mental control magic to control the examiner to say such a thing? But this kind of magic can't be maintained for a long time after all. When the effect of the magic had passed, didn't Cecia still ......
Yes...... Wait a minute...... I see......
This group of examiners is playing this kind of text game with themselves?
"That. Please ask. ”
While the disciples were arguing, Lilith hurriedly rushed to the examiner who had just sentenced her to death, and the other party did not feel any doubts because of Lilith's re-arrival.
"Excuse me, can I retake the exam?" asked Lilith, "and it occurred to me what the real answer was." ”
"No, you can't. ”
Inorganic voice, however, is a negative answer. On the contrary, it was more certain of Lilith's thoughts.
That's right, this kind of assessment with a very low pass rate. If you really think of the answer, reapply and answer again. There is no reason for the examiners to reject themselves, and now this guy still answers so neatly, which shows that ......
Isn't this the answer to this assessment?
"Yes. ”
Lilith looked into the other party's eyes, although she didn't dabble in spiritual magic, she still knew some. I definitely can't reach the height of my mother, but this time it's just an assessment, as long as the answer is correct.
Only passing and failing grades are scored, regardless of the score.
"I could, I'll say the answer again. ”
"......" After a moment of silence, the examiner nodded, "Yes, you still have one last step to go." ”
Of course, Lilith's mental interference with the examiner failed, but it was only unexpected and reasonable. Because their answer is already correct.
"Well, I guess I should be qualified. ”
“...... That's right, you're qualified. ”
A simple language game, the purpose of this audition is to find two qualified people, that is, the purpose is simply to qualify. I'm afraid that the previous disciples were also asked the same question, that is a question, and at the same time a hint.
"Why do you want to participate in the selection?"
There is no why, because participation itself is already the goal of the believers, and the ultimate goal is to qualify.
So, no matter what method you use, as long as you stick to this, as for the method, there seem to be many more.
Cecia used magic such as mental interference to emphasize her determination, and she made up for it in time. Judging from the answers, there are quite a few questions in this exam.
"Why are they qualified?"
"That's it, why can you say it again if you fail!"
If Lilith thought the same, soon, the voices of dissatisfaction, jealousy, and envy all reached her ears, but compared to her helpless self, Cecia seemed very calm.
Although in her own understanding, Cecia is indeed a ...... who does not show much emotion Angel, but she seemed to be overcalming now, as if she was supposed to win.
"Congratulations. ”
In any case, I am afraid that I will meet with Cecia often in the next period of time, even if her attitude has always been cold, it is better to communicate with her in advance.
After all, why Cecia would always be on her mother's side as an angel did make Lilith very concerned.
“...... Well. ”
After nodding her head, Cecia also offered her compliment, "You too, you're smart. ”
...... Hey, you're beating around the bush and boasting that you're smarter.
But forget it, there was no Cecia this time, and most of them had already thought of some bad ideas and tried to get close to Asmo.
"Well, let's be good friends for the rest of the day. ”
......
"Hey, Lilith, I'm back. ”
Dragging a somewhat tired body, and the messy white dress, even Pandora felt a little unbearable at the moment.
"That's why I hate to squeeze into that kind of pile, hey. ”
“...... You're done. The Night Witch didn't look back at Pandora, but was concentrating on her work.
Although it is only beginning to take shape, it seems that it already has the appearance of a glove.
"Well, your problem is still so tormenting. ”
Pandora waved her hand, "Well, it worked, because something went wrong and Cecia went in, but I'm ...... Got preempted?"
"......" paused for a moment, but in the next moment, Lilith continued to form, "Who?"
"Your lovely daughter. "She answered before me, and she didn't expect it, but she seemed to have found the answer from Cecia." ”
“......”
"Lilith?"
"It's okay, so be it. Lilith sighed, "It's better to let Cecia do it alone than for you, who don't know when you're going to do it." ”
"What a coldness, Lilith, am I so untrustworthy to you?" Pandora walked up behind Lilith, "It doesn't matter, your daughter, she knows a lot, we don't know the future, right?" Don't you think that her actions this time are also with a purpose? Moreover, it seems that it is also for the sake of the saint, so let her act like this, okay?"
"Pandora!"
The emotionless cheer also made Pandora's expression cold, and even so, Lilith still met Pandora's gaze.
Because there are some things that she can't compromise at all.
"Don't do things you shouldn't do, or you'll be ......"
"It's you who should reflect, Night Witch!"
Unusually, Pandora, who has always chosen to avoid, grabbed Lilith by the collar, "Since you had a 'daughter', you have changed a lot, the night witch who used to be with me should be dead, right?"
"Night Witch, this is my advice, if you continue like this, you who have not been defeated will taste the bitter fruit at the hands of your daughter. (To be continued)
