"Oh, uh-huh...... What else is there?" Professor Stubone pursed his lips, swallowed and foamed, and said with an unnatural expression, "Then may I ask Paterna to explain what is wrong with my demonstration just now?"

Alan slowly stood up, his heart was so nervous that he jumped straight up, and he stood there for a long time without speaking.

"You'd better hurry up!" Professor Stubone looked unhappy, "and if you can't, then I can only assume you're talking about it...... Well, I suppose you're going to have to pay something for it......" Professor Stubone said, picking up his pen to write something after Alan's name.

Alan panicked when he heard Professor Stubburn say this. He knew that it was useless to deny it, not only did little Bilber hear it, but the people around him should have heard it too, and Professor Stubone couldn't pass it with just a little follow-up. But he couldn't say it, because if he did, it would be tantamount to dishonoring Professor Stubone in front of all his classmates, and the consequences could be more serious than deducting points.

Little Bilber was excited to see Allen's dilemma, and looked at Little Stewart frequently with a smug face, as if asking for credit. Little Stewart also nodded at him: "Good job!"

"Well, it's better to deduct points than to off Professor Tubourne, otherwise the whole year might not be better. Alan weighed it again, let out a long sigh, and chose to remain silent.

Professor Stubone could see that he was about to give up on the explanation, so he glanced at him, ready to deduct points.

But at this moment, Cynthia suddenly stood up: "Please wait a minute, Professor!"

"What's the matter, Miss Winslow?" Professor Stubone was startled, his pen was about to fall, and he didn't expect Cynthia to stand up suddenly without warning.

"I don't think what you just did was perfect. Cynthia said lightly.

Professor Stubone was stunned when he heard her say this, he didn't know what Cynthia was going to do, and his face was blue and white.

"Judging from what I previewed yesterday, the apple was supposed to have only been blown into equal pieces, but it seems that the magic you just injected was a little too much, so that the whole apple was blown to pieces...... A professor of your calibre doesn't make such a mistake, so I guess you did it on purpose, right?" Cynthia said unhurriedly, "to test our observational powers." ”

"Uh......" Professor Stubone seemed to finally react after hearing this, and his face quickly returned to normal, and he nodded again and again and said, "Well, well, you are right! Miss Winslow, you are indeed the elite of the elite! I never expected that you would see through it so quickly...... Well, it's really a hidden topic that I came up with on a whim!"

Professor Stubone wiped the sweat from his head with his sleeve, then turned to the other students and said, "Miss Winslow is right, observation is a very important thing for a magician, and she has proved it with her actions! I think she is the only one in the room who can see through this, so I will give Miss Winslow another ten points for her excellent performance!"

"No, Professor, it's not just me. Cynthia interrupted the students' applause and said.

"What?" Professor Stubone was stunned again, not quite understanding.

"And him. Cynthia tilted her head to look at Allen, who was still standing behind her.

"Uh...... What do you mean by that?" Professor Stubone asked in a whisper, leaning forward a few steps forward. I thought Cynthia was just trying to earn more points for herself, but I didn't expect it to involve Allen.

"Actually, he said everything he just said, and I just thought he was right, so I repeated it again...... So, if you want to add points, please include him as well. Cynthia looked at Professor Stubone and said lightly. At the end, he added: "This is what he deserves." ”

"Uh......" The expression on Professor Stubourne's face became subtle. He could see that Cynthia didn't seem to care about how many points she added, just to save Alan. He didn't know what the child from this small town had to do with her, and Cynthia would be so protective of him, so he stared at Alan a little confused for a while before he said, "No problem, no problem...... Since you say so, then no problem...... Well, just do as you say, plus 10 points for each person!"

There was a round of applause in the classroom, and Alan was finally able to sit down again.

Little Bilber and Little Stewart were originally proud, thinking that Alan was finally going to be planted in their hands this time, but they didn't expect that because of Cynthia's words, not only did Alan escape, but they also added points. These two are so angry that their lungs are going to explode now.

"Uh-huh......" Professor Stubone cleared his throat and motioned for the applause to stop, "Now that I've explained to you all the details to pay attention to, and demonstrated to you, let's start practicing on your own." There are endless apples in the box, and other small buckets, in groups of two, and I will give you a question in half an hour. ”

When the students heard Professor Stubourne's arrangement, they got up from the ground, formed their own teams, and then dispersed to practice.

Alan is naturally in a group with Cynthia.

He took two apples and placed the small wooden barrel on the ground.

"What would it be?" asked Allen.

"I don't know. Cynthia shook her head.

"Hey, what do you say...... What was Professor Stubourne's purpose in having a two-person practice?" Alan asked.

"I don't know......" Cynthia shook her head again.

"Tear it apart!" Alan had successfully blown up an apple because he had used the spell before, but he had made the same mistake as Professor Stubourne - too much mana.

"Don't you think it's weird?" Alan asked, watching Cynthia successfully crack an apple and equal halves, "Although this spell is a bit difficult, it can be cast alone, why did you deliberately divide us into two groups to practice?"

"Hmm...... It's really weird. Cynthia was also a little confused.

Alan thought over every detail that Professor Sttubone had said before, but he didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

He ran to get two more apples, and found that many people had not been able to cast the spell smoothly, which made him feel a lot more relieved, at least this time he was ahead of the others.

Once again, Alan placed an apple in a small wooden barrel, and this time he carefully sent the mana to the inside of the apple through the mana link little by little, and deliberately reduced the amount of mana injected. It's just that this time the injection amount seems to be a little too small, and the apple is not blown apart, but there are two shallow cracks.

"Sure enough, it's still a lot harder than eggs. He had to turn the apple in a different direction and try again, carefully considering the amount of mana injected before finally splitting it in half.

"Ah......" Seeing this, Cynthia suddenly called out softly, as if she had thought of something. Originally, because she was already proficient in this spell, she stood aside in a daze.

"What's wrong?" asked Allen.

"I want to ...... This should be what he wants to test. Cynthia said, pointing to the illustration of the book of apples being divided into four equal portions.

Alan didn't understand what was going on at first, but Cynthia pointed to the apple he had just used to practice and he finally understood.

What Professor Stubone will take in a while will be to divide apples into four equal parts. But for a student who has just practiced for half an hour, it is impossible to achieve this level, because to divide into two halves, you need to carefully feel the expansion point of the mana and control it to expand in only two directions, and to divide into four parts, you need to control the mana to expand in all four directions at the same time, which is definitely impossible for a novice to do...... That's why Professor Stubone asked them to work in pairs, and they tested their ability to work together while dividing into fours.

"Actually, it wasn't a mistake that he blew up the apple just now, but that he couldn't do it equally...... Because he's the type who isn't sensitive to mana output. Cynthia said.

"I see...... Shall we try it now?" Alan said.

"Good. ”

However, as soon as Cynthia finished speaking, Professor Stubourne's voice rang out again: "Uh-huh...... Time's up. ”

Everyone stopped what they were doing and listened quietly to the question that Professor Stubone had prepared.

"As you can see, the apple was meant to be burst into four equal parts. Now that you've been practicing for half an hour, is there any group of students who are confident enough to demonstrate it for me, just like the one in the book? Professor Stubone asked.

The classroom was silent, and apparently no one had ever succeeded. No one would dare to take this risk without being skilled. If you don't use it smoothly, it's okay to say that it's just a shame in front of everyone, but if you accidentally inject too much mana, you may blow up along with the small wooden barrel, and you may be deducted points. That's a bit more than worth the cost.

Seeing that no one answered, Professor Stubone muttered again and said, "This question is twenty points!"

When everyone heard that there was a reward of 20 points, which was enough to cover a late arrival or violation of discipline, they all began to talk to each other and were ready to move. However, it is precisely these twenty points that make them understand how difficult this topic is, and they dare not act rashly.

At that moment, a hand suddenly reached out from the crowd.

"Oh, Miss Winslow, it's you again!!I'm going to commend you for your courage!" Professor Stubourne looked excited, and pointed to his podium, "Then come up and show us your skill!"

However, Cynthia did not move, but stood in place for a while, looked back at Allen, and said lightly: "But...... It's not just me, Professor...... And him. ”
