Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemy of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 30 Test the Demon Frog
The next morning, just after seven o'clock, the two of them got up. Although Rare felt that he had no hope of going to school, he could not resist Alan's repeated persuasion and decided to accompany him to complete the last test.
The weather was nice today, no rain. According to the usual practice, the two of them washed up, took a short rest after breakfast, and set off. But they seemed to have left a little too early today, old Adrian's candy house hadn't opened yet, and when they got to the school, they found that there were a lot fewer people today.
"Did we come too early?" asked Riel as he stood at the school gate and looked in, feeling that something was wrong.
"Probably...... We hadn't heard the chiming birds when we left. ”
Alyssa was still the same, arriving one step before them, and it was a bit of a surprise to see them come together, after all, Rare looked desperate when he said goodbye yesterday, but now he looks the same as usual. Although she didn't know what was going on, she was happy for them both in her heart.
"Wow, you're so early, don't you even need to sleep?" asked Rare before he could get to him.
"Hmm...... Before dawn, I was woken up by my grandmother. Alyssa said.
"Oh, she's too strict with you. Riel said.
"It's you, uh...... Looks like you've already figured it out?" asked Alyssa tentatively.
"Hmm...... Thanks to Alan. A hint of loss flashed in Rare's eyes, and he sighed softly and said, "You go to Krivari and wait for me first." ”
"Hmm!" Alyssa nodded.
Alan also smiled and said, "With the two of us here at that time, I promise that you won't get lost." ”
At this time, a few more students walked in from the direction of the school gate to prepare for the exam, but the number was still much smaller than yesterday, and only about one-third of the original number was left.
"It's weird where everyone has gone, isn't it?" Rare asked, looking at Alan and then at Alyssa.
"Uh-huh......" Alyssa replied softly, though there seemed to be something else she wanted to say.
"I've probably lost all my confidence...... After all, I was tossed like this by Miss Winslow yesterday. Allen said.
"Hey, how can their hearts be so fragile, even worse than me!Do you think I'm standing here standing here if I fail two exams in a row?" said Riel, as if he had completely forgotten what it was like yesterday when he was depressed.
Remembering what Riel looked like yesterday and hearing him say that now, Alan laughed too, but he was embarrassed to demolish him in front of Alyssa.
The three of them chatted a little more, and at last they waited for Miss Winslow and her party to come over, and Mr. Labredo and Professor Freeman hurried to meet them, as they had done yesterday. Somewhat surprisingly, however, Mrs. Dalk also greeted her.
"Oh! I didn't expect there to be so many people left!" Miss Winslow said as soon as she got out of the carriage and looked at the remaining candidates, with a look of displeasure on her face, her tone still full of disdain.
"Oh, Alan, I really can't stand her virtue!" "Riel looked annoyed, "She's talking like she's talking about a bunch of reptiles!"
"Be quiet, Rare, let her hear and wonder what was going to happen. Alan heard that his voice was a little loud, and hurriedly persuaded.
But fortunately, they were far away from Miss Winslow, and she didn't look this way, but still said to herself: "Then let's start now, don't wait if you haven't come yet!" After saying that, she opened the door and walked into the examination room.
"How could she do that! The bird hasn't chirped yet!" Riel grumbled.
"Just leave her to heart for now, after all, she's in charge here. Alan knew that they couldn't do anything about Miss Winslow now, so he continued to persuade Riel to stay calm.
At this time, Ms. Cavendi's voice came: "Please follow me into the examination room and line up according to your own order yesterday." ”
Everyone is getting moving. Upon entering the exam room, Alan found Miss Winslow sitting bored, seemingly leaving everything to Cavendy and Mersha.
The students quickly formed their lines, and Alan saw that there were only five people left in front of him. However, compared to yesterday's nervousness, his mentality today is much more relaxed, after all, with a huge advantage in the second game in hand, as long as there are no surprises today, Alyssa and he should be firmly in the top three.
"Look this way!" Lady Cavendi took out a cage covered with a black cloth, cleared her throat, and said, "Please come to me in order, first report your candidate number, and then put your hand on this guy and inject a little magic into his skin." As she spoke, she lifted the black cloth that was around the cage. Alan looked inside and found a huge, ugly-looking frog squatting in the cage!
"Just kidding!" Riel was shocked when he saw the frog, because it was so ugly: its eyes were bigger and bulging than normal frogs, and they were turning in different directions at the same time, its gray-green skin looked rough and there were many pimples, and more importantly, he could see the slime slowly oozing from the frog's body.
"Oh, it's disgusting!" he cried again.
Alan hurriedly stomped on him with his foot, signaling him not to make a sound, so as not to make Miss Winslow angry. But fortunately, her attention seemed to be completely off the exam today, and her eyes kept staring out the window.
"It's just a 'test frog'. It can test how much magic you have enough to support you in entering Krivari for the more complex magical practices. If you have too little mana, you won't be allowed to go to Krivari. Ms. Cavendi opened the cage and said, "It has another ability. I think you all know that the magic generated in each person's body will be more or less different, just like your fingerprints, even if you are twin brothers, it is impossible to be exactly the same. In the case of sin committed by the use of magic, there is often a remnant of magic on the scene, and the test of the magic frog exists to identify who is the culprit. All you need to do is collect the remaining magic from the scene and inject it into its skin at the same time as the magic on the suspect's body, so that you can clearly tell if it belongs to the same person...... Cheating is a shameful act, do you understand what I mean?"
"I can detect the amount of mana, and I can understand this...... But what exactly does she want to say behind that? Riel was confused and had to ask Alan.
"In other words, if you touch the frog with your hand and wand at the same time, it will be able to tell if the wand is owned by you. To prevent us from cheating. ”
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that the Devil Frog is generally not very good-tempered, and if it finds out that you are cheating, the consequences can be very serious. Ms. Cavendi said.
At this time, Alan found that the limbs of the test frog were fixed to the bottom of the cage, and he was still ready to move. It seems that what Ms. Cavendi said is true.
"Don't tell them it's useless! Hurry up, Cavendi!" Miss Winslow urged, looking a little impatient.
"Yes!" replied Ms. Cavendi, motioning for the first person to hurry over.
Alan looked at it and saw that this person he knew, it was none other than Richie from the old Gordon's family. I saw him walk up to the test frog, first reported: "Eleven!" and then put his hand and wand on the skin of the test frog at the same time, only a few seconds later, I saw that the bumpy protrusions on the test frog's body lit up a little, and Ms. Cavendy looked at it and wrote "pass" after Richie's results.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you just now that the students who have completed the test will go to the outside of the examination room and wait, and the total results will be announced on the spot after everything is over. Ms. Cavendi said, "Next!"
"Eighteen!" a tall, lanky boy walked over, and Alan didn't recognize him, after all, he basically only communicated with Riel and Alyssa at school.
He looked a little nervous, and his hands trembled a little as he put it on the test frog, only to see that the test frog was almost all over the body this time.
"Oh!" exclaimed to the candidates, and the tall boy breathed a sigh of relief. But in the next second, he saw that it suddenly went black, and then he turned his head and stuck his tongue out, and in an instant swept away the wand from the child's hand! The boy was frightened and stayed where he was. Then the big frog squinted at him, but with a movement of his tongue he broke his wand in half and spit it aside.
"Fail!" Ms. Cavendy said, kicking the boy out of the exam room.
"Next!"
"Twenty-two!" this time the voice was a little small, it was a short girl, and Alan didn't know it either.
The test frog lit up again, and this time it didn't go out again.
"Excellent," Ms. Cavendi wrote.
There were only two people left in front of Allen. He couldn't help but be a little worried, because he was a little lacking in his mana reserves, after all, he knew that his physical strength was very poor, and physical strength was one of the important factors in generating mana.
"Will it fail?" he couldn't help but think.
In his stunned effort, the two in front of him were over.
"Next!" shouted Ms. Cavendy.
Alan didn't react for a moment, but Alyssa called him softly behind his back, and he realized that there was no one in front of him.
"Thirty-two!" he hurriedly trotted all the way over, removed the pendant from his neck, and placed his hand and pendant on the test frog at the same time.
I saw that the body of the demon frog began to light up slowly, but the speed was very slow, as if it was a little reluctant. Ms. Cavendy looked at it for a long time before she was sure: "Pass." ”
Alan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the word, and stepped aside.
Next up is Alyssa. Alan and Riel thought everything would go well, but when Alyssa made contact with her wand and the Frog, the Frog slowly turned her head to look at her, but there was no reaction at all.
Allen's heart suddenly hung in the air. What's going on?!
