Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemy of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 136 The Scourge of Witchcraft

"Student on the fourth floor......" Alan felt a little incredulous when he heard this word full of mockery coming out of Cynthia's mouth, because he knew that Cynthia had always cared about high or low status.

"Don't mind, I don't mean to laugh at you, I just want to state the facts. Cynthia added, "After all, I should have been a student on the fourth floor...... Not even a chance to come here. ”

"Hmm...... It's okay, I know. Alan also saw that she really didn't mean this, so he asked, "Did what you learned last night have something to do with this?"

"Oh, that's right......" Cynthia smiled mysteriously, "but it's not related to the fourth floor......

"Uh-huh!" she was about to continue, but the bell rang for class, and Professor Stubourne interrupted their conversation with a trademark throat clearing.

"Let's go to the library at noon...... There are some things that are easier to understand than to let me tell you about them. ”

"Hmm...... Good. ”

At this time, all the students heard Professor Tubone's voice and moved closer to it. Cynthia still habitually sat in the front row, and Alan had to squeeze forward with her.

But when he sat down for a while, he saw that little Stewart and little Bilber were late, and hurried in one after the other, and sat not far to his right.

Remembering the situation when little Bilber made a small report in the first class, Alan couldn't help but pout, and secretly asked himself to say something unrelated to the content of the class with Cynthia in this class.

Strangely, though, little Bilber didn't seem to have any intention of eavesdropping on the lesson, and little Stewart and the others had been napping since they sat down. If you look closely, little Stewart still has obvious dark circles around his eyes.

"Sleep deprivation?" Alan was a little strange, "Didn't these two guys sleep at night?"

"Heh, it seems that I have suffered a lot in order to achieve my goal. At this time, Cynthia, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly sneered and said, "I feel a little sorry for them." ”

Alan looked at her with some confusion and saw that she was also staring at little Stewart.

"Now I'm going to check the results of the last learning cycle. At this point, Professor Stubone said, "Only those who take the initiative to raise their hands will get extra points." ”

I saw Professor Stubone put three eggs on the podium, and three small boxes arranged in a triangle.

"Please use the High Levitation Charm to put these three eggs in each of these three boxes, at the same time, of course. Professor Stubone said as he demonstrated. Although he didn't have much confidence in the use of the High Burst Charm, he was still very skilled at using the magic, and the three eggs were safely placed in the box.

Alan naturally didn't dare to raise his hand, he hadn't been able to come to this class due to a foot injury, and he had met the middle of the moon and the sun in the middle, and he hadn't been exposed to this magic for the first time until yesterday, and he couldn't use it smoothly now.

However, Cynthia was still full of confidence, and immediately raised her hand when she heard Professor Stubone say this. And in fact she performed perfectly, taking even less time than Professor Stubourne.

"Well, very good! better than I did, Miss Winslow is really talented!" Professor Stubone never hesitated when it was time to make a sycophant, "Add ten points to Miss Winslow!"

"Awesome, awesome!" Alan also whispered heartily.

"Is there anything else you'd like to take the initiative to try?" asked Professor Sttubourne.

But even last Tuesday morning, last week was three classes missing, and everyone seemed to be a little less confident, and Professor Stubourne's question was not answered by anyone else.

"Is anyone willing to try it?" Professor Stubone asked again.

But the classroom was still quiet, and everyone kept their heads down.

"Hmm...... In that case...... "Maybe the atmosphere in the classroom wasn't warm enough, which upset Professor Stubourne a little, "Zach Bilber, give me a demonstration!"

Everyone looked over to where Professor Stubone was staring, and found that the professor might not be upset not just because no one had answered the questions, but because someone was sleeping in his class, like little Bilber is now.

Little Bilber slept soundly, his saliva was dripping, and he didn't hear Professor Stubone calling him.

"Zach Bilber!" called Professor Stubone again.

Little Bilber still didn't react at all.

Professor Sttubone was really angry, and used a levitation charm to move an egg directly above little Bilber's head, and then lifted the spell.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, the egg blossomed on the top of little Bilber's head.

There was a burst of laughter in the classroom.

He stood up and looked around blankly, not knowing what was happening. It wasn't until a cool liquid flowed into his face that he realized that there seemed to be something on his head, and when he touched it with his hand, it was full of egg whites and yolks.

"Get out! now!now!" Professor Stubourne's face flushed.

Little Stewart was also awakened by fright, looked at everything that was happening in front of him in a daze, and then quickly lowered his head again.

Little Bilber had no choice but to walk out of the classroom. Before leaving, he didn't forget to glance at little Stewart, as if to ask why he was also sleeping, but he was the only one who was kicked out.

"Zach Bilber, sleep in class, deduct ten points!" Professor Stubone said as he took notes on the roll call.

"Very!?" Little Bilber felt that it was a bit much, and wanted to defend himself, but seeing that Little Stewart didn't have any intention of helping him, he opened his mouth and still didn't squeak.

"Ah...... Wait!" exclaimed Professor Stubourne again.

Little Bilber was stunned for a moment, thinking that Professor Stubone had changed his mind, but when he heard the next sentence, his whole body froze.

"I almost forgot...... If you are late, you will be deducted 10 points!"

It turned out that the new account and the old account were calculated together......

Seeing this scene, Alan couldn't help but laugh too, thinking, "I don't know how Riel would react if he saw it......"

Professor Stubourne's anger seemed to subside a little, and he named little Stewart to show him.

Little Stewart hesitated for a while before stepping onto the podium. Although the difficulty was reduced a lot due to the lack of an egg, he still failed to complete it, and he placed one of the eggs on the outside of the box. However, Professor Stubone seemed to be a little concerned about his identity, and did not deduct his points, but just pouted and let him return to his place.

"Given your poor mastery of this magic, I've decided not to do anything new this week until you've mastered it completely. Professor Stubone announced.

Alan was relieved to hear the news, because he was worried that he would miss this class because of the busy class ahead.

The rest of the day, Professor Stubone asked them to practice in groups until the end of the lesson.

The second enchantment magic class also flew by in the midst of Professor Wagbarn's incessant questions and Cynthia's perfect answers, except that Professor Wagbyrne didn't mind who slept in his class or something, he only cared about whether the students who really wanted to learn the subject mastered what he thought they should master.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon.

Unlike other students who were in a hurry to go back to their rooms or have lunch, as soon as the bell rang for the end of class, Alan and Cynthia rushed to the library as soon as possible.

In anticipation of Cynthia's new discoveries, he was not very relieved when he went to class this morning.

"Well, it's this book. The two of them made it to the second floor, and as soon as Alan sat down, Cynthia threw him a book.

"The Scourge of Witchcraft?" Alan was stunned when he saw the title, not knowing what Cynthia wanted him to see.

"You take your time first, and probably everything you want to know is in it. Cynthia said.

"Hmm. ”

The book wasn't too thick, only a few dozen pages in total, and it only took Alan about half an hour to go through it all. However, with each page he turned, his expression became more solemn, and when he finished reading it, he found that the book had answered some of his confusions and brought him many new questions.

It details the origins of the art of witchcraft, the period when witchcraft were rampant, and their disappearance.

It's a completely different concept from magic, it's witchcraft in the true sense of the word. According to the book, this kind of witchcraft is something akin to a curse, and being entangled in this curse can lead to misfortune, ranging from bad luck to accidental death. Those who know how to wield this power are called "witch masters".

Witch masters have existed since ancient times, but they have always been scattered and secretly carried out in their individual capacity, and have not formed any organization or group. Due to the completely unpredictable consequences of witchcraft and the fact that they manifest themselves as accidents, and there is no evidence to prove that they are directly related to witchcrafters, people maintain their hatred while fearing them, but they are always helpless against them.

It wasn't until around the year 600 of the Second Age of Hope that the activities of the Witchers began to increase, and a wizard named Andre Granwell took the lead in a large-scale and open witchcraft activities, and gathered a large number of witches and fanatics to start a rebellion. He tried to get people to obey through the fear that this power brings, and then challenged the stable rule of the Guardian family for six hundred years. However, in the end, due to the disillusionment of the people, this farce ended in the complete defeat of the witch masters, and they also disappeared into the long river of history.

"As you can see, the history of witchcraft is also quite ancient, almost dating back to the time when magic first appeared...... It's just that they have disappeared for a long time. Alan said as soon as he finished reading Cynthia.

"Do you suspect that our recent 'bad luck' is that a sorcerer is behind it?" asked Allen.

"Not a suspicion. Cynthia stared at Eren and said seriously, "But there is no doubt that there is a remnant of the Witch Master descendants who are playing tricks." ”
