Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 87 The Past
Alyssa and Cynthia raised their hands almost at the same time.
"Hmm......" Professor Fran didn't see who was faster, so he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Since you are both so positive and confident, please come and show everyone how." ”
Hearing Professor Fran say this, Alan suddenly felt relieved, because compared to Professor Stubourne, Professor Fran's approach seemed much fairer, at least she did not favor Alyssa in any way, nor did she please Cynthia in every way.
The two walked up to the podium one after the other, standing facing each other on the left and right sides.
"At the same time, use the 'Summoning Charm' directly in front of you. In this way, even if one of you makes a mistake and the wind is too strong, the two winds will cancel out part of each other and not injure the others. "For the sake of safety, I should have been standing across from you, but since it's the two of you, I'm relieved." ”
It seems that the performance of both of them when they practiced just now was seen by this old lady.
The two nodded, and each began to prepare.
Everyone held their breath and watched in silence.
"Let's get started. Professor Fran said.
The two looked at each other. Cynthia looked confident, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was making some small calculation. Alyssa was expressionless, but there was a hint of hostility in her eyes.
"O wind that blows through my life......" both raised their wands at the same time, and uttered the incantation, "Follow my call and come here!"
Both of them had accurate spells and spell casting, but unlike when Professor Fran recited the spell, both of them had much louder voices and much heavier tones.
When they read the first sentence, Professor Fran faintly felt that the situation was wrong, and when he heard them end in such a heavy tone, he was even more startled, and immediately realized that something big might happen, and quickly took a step back, quickly waved his wand and read aloud: "I am summoned here in the name of the messenger of the wind god, and the wind barrier is quickly protected!"
A huge translucent air stream appeared in front of her in an instant, isolating the lectern from the rest of the classroom like a wall.
As soon as this wind wall appeared, Alan saw that everything in the entire podium, except for the blackboard, tables and chairs, was still in place, and everything else, including textbooks, parchment, and cushions, was blown away in an instant.
"Oh!" the students exclaimed, not knowing what was going on, until they were sure that this side of the wind wall was safe, and then they leaned forward to look inside.
Due to the extremely fast flow of air on the wind wall, and the constant collision of other air currents on the side of the podium, it is not possible to see too much of what is happening inside.
Alan also managed to squeeze to the front.
Although the wind could not be seen by the naked eye, the clothes of the two people on the podium were swinging violently, and a distinct "whining" sound could be heard in the air, and everyone realized that the wind summoned by the two people may be really not small.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and no one had any intention of stopping.
"Stop!" shouted Professor Fran.
But because the wind was so loud, neither of them heard it.
Professor Fran had no choice but to take out his wand again, and add a wind wall between the two of them, separating the two winds that were originally colliding, so that the noise was much smaller.
"I say, stop!" Professor Fran shouted again.
The two of them were confronting each other with the smell of gunpowder, when they suddenly realized that something was wrong, and vaguely heard Professor Fran's voice coming, and understood that it was to stop them, so they glanced at each other, and slowly put down their wands reluctantly.
"You two have gone a little too far!" Professor Fran frowned, a little annoyed. She didn't know why these two people were like this, they should have been very friendly, but they seemed to be moving seriously, and they actually made such a big move.
The podium was already in shambles, and if it weren't for Professor Fran's timely summoning of a wall of wind, the whole classroom might have become like this.
Both of them twisted their heads to the side, still looking unwilling to admit defeat.
"Since you've both gone a little too far, you don't get any extra points. Professor Fran hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said, "Let's all go back to our seats." ”
The two of them came down from the podium.
"To each his place. Professor Fran cast another Reduction Charm to clean up the messy lectern.
"Hey, you two are a little too much, what should you do if you get hurt...... It's a class. As soon as Cynthia walked to her seat, Alan said with a frown.
"Are you worried about her or me?" Cynthia asked with a smile.
"Uh......" Alan was a little speechless.
"Don't worry, this little trick won't hurt us both, we know it. Cynthia said.
"She provoked me first. Alyssa heard it too, and glanced at Cynthia with a look of displeasure.
However, Cynthia smiled lightly and took Alyssa's words, "But I didn't expect you to be quite capable and able to tie with me." ”
Alyssa stood in her seat and didn't speak, and it took a long time for her to spit out, "Don't expect me to budge, impossible." ”
"Oh, what a coincidence?" said Cynthia, smiling again, and sitting down, "neither will I." ”
Alan tried to persuade them not to do this, but Alyssa had already twisted her head back, and Cynthia also lowered her head to straighten her clothes and not look at him, so he had to open his mouth and swallow the words back.
That's the end of the demonstration. "You practice on your own after class, and I'll check your mastery one by one in the next class." However, it is hoped that this will not happen again. ”
"The rest of the time is reserved for you to review what I have covered in this class, and if you have any questions, you can raise your hand and ask me. With that, Professor Fran sat down in his chair and rested until the bell rang for the end of class.
"Dangdang ......" At five o'clock, Professor Fran got up and motioned for the students to leave, but instead of going out, she walked up to Alyssa and whispered to her to let her stay.
Alan tries to leave early but is held back by Alyssa, so she stays behind with Rare to wait for her.
After two hours in the classroom, many people have long wanted to go out to breathe. In a few moments, the originally bustling classroom became empty.
"Why aren't you two leaving?" Professor Fran asked, looking at Alan and Riel.
She wanted to take advantage of this time to have a good chat with Alyssa, and there was still a lot to say, but they had no intention of leaving.
"It's okay, Professor, it's okay to say anything...... They came from Beya with me, and we have known each other for several years, so they are very good friends. Alyssa explained for them.
"I see. Professor Fran looked at them carefully, and then said to Alyssa, "What about the girl just now?
"Uh...... I don't know each other very well, but I've only recently met. Alyssa whispered.
"That's right...... I saw you two competing with each other, and I thought we'd known each other for a long time......" Professor Fran smiled, "just like me and your grandmother." ”
"And grandma, have you known her for a long time?" asked Alyssa.
"It was a long time ago. Professor Fran sat down in Cynthia's seat just now, bowed his head and smiled, "Your grandmother and I have been neighbors since birth, graduated from the same basic magic school, were also assigned to the wind elemental department, and after graduation, they joined the Krivari Magic Management Association together, and also worked in the communication department. ”
Alyssa listened intently.
"We were rivals in school, but in private we were very good friends. I'm a year older than her, so she's like my sister to me. The confrontation between you and Miss Winslow is seen almost every week between us...... It can be seen that you and your mother have been influenced by her a lot, and they are as stubborn and strong as her, and they both have a spirit of not admitting defeat in their bones. Professor Fran smiled and looked down to reminisce.
"Speaking of your mother, I gave her the name Christie...... The three of us live very close to each other, and I have a good relationship with your grandmother. When your mother was born, her mother came to me for advice, and I wanted to make a joke with her, so I made a joke based on my own name, but I didn't expect her to like it unexpectedly...... I grew up watching Christie, and she would come to my house often, and whenever she had time, she would come to my balcony to bask in the sun and talk to me, just like my daughter...... But I didn't expect her to really marry Finn when she grew up, and when they met when they were children, they were incompatible. Professor Fran said this with a happy smile on his face,
"Until that day...... I don't know what I remembered, Professor Fran burst into tears.
At the mention of her parents, Alyssa was also a little emotional, but she still endured the grief in her heart, took out a handkerchief to help Professor Fran wipe her tears and asked, "Professor, I want to know what happened more than ten years ago...... My grandmother rarely talked to me about it, and she was furious whenever I did...... Only once did I tell me that my parents had died in the line of duty, and when I asked her for details, she refused to say anything, just ...... in a daze."
"Good boy, don't blame her, no one can bear such a big blow......" Professor Fran had just wiped away his tears, and his nose was sour when he said this, and he was about to start crying: "Your parents were killed by werewolves. ”
"Werewolf!?" Hearing the word, not only Alyssa, but also Alan and Riel were stunned.
"That's right, I investigated later, and an acquaintance in the security department told me that it was a werewolf. Professor Fran forcibly controlled his emotions and said.
"But weren't the werewolves driven away long ago, in the northernmost mountains?" asked Alyssa.
"Yes, that's a bit bizarre...... I didn't believe it at first. But it wasn't until I saw their wounds with my own eyes that I was sure that it was indeed the werewolf. ”
Alyssa was speechless in surprise when she heard this.
"During that time, news kept coming out of several towns northwest of Krivari that werewolves were infestation and injuring people, and because of the mystery of the case, the Ministry of Security assigned several of the most capable teams of four to deal with the matter...... Your parents were part of the group that went to hunt down werewolves. Speaking of this, Professor Fran's expression looked solemn and sad, "But no one expected that on the way back from successfully arresting the murderer, they would encounter such a catastrophe......
