Volume 2 The Triple Trial and the Awakened Magic Eye Chapter 33 The Suspicious Man
Six people, not too much, no less, all the way towards the twin spires still looks quite impressive.
Riel and Alyssa lead the way, followed by the Labredo sisters and Nicole, and Aizel followed behind with a shy look.
Alan was about five paces away from them. He didn't dare to get too far away, there were a lot of people, and if he was too far away, he might lose it.
As they reached the entrance to the general hall, they met Cynthia, who was coming from the other direction. She was followed by several equally immature faces, but judging by the cold expression on her face, it seemed that she just couldn't refuse Freya's request and reluctantly came to Frey's favor.
After nodding to each other, Cynthia looked around curiously, and then asked Alyssa, "Is he not feeling well, why didn't he come out with you?"
"Thank you for your concern. Alyssa squinted at her and said with a blank face, "He just doesn't want to delay a minute of his time for studying." β
"Oh, that's his style. Cynthia said, and then she didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and stared at where Eren was with a smile.
"That'...... Can you do me a favor?" Cynthia said as she stared at Riel suddenly.
"Please. Knowing that Cynthia and Alan were close and had a special identity, Riel answered as politely as possible.
"I'm not feeling well and want to go back and take a break. Can you lead a tour of the rest of the campus?" Cynthia turned her head to look at the three freshmen behind her, and said to Rare, "They just happened to be the only ones who hadn't been here. β
"No problem. Riel nodded in agreement, "You can go back and rest, and I'll take care of the rest." β
"Thank you. Cynthia stepped aside as she spoke, and motioned for the three freshmen to follow.
Riel and Alyssa lead the seven freshmen into the General Hall.
Alan also wanted to follow, but Cynthia, who had just taken two steps, reached out and stopped him.
"What are you doing here?" Cynthia asked suddenly.
Alan was stunned for a moment, and then realized why she said that she was not feeling well but did not go back to the room immediately, it turned out that she had already discovered that he was following......
"Uh...... How did you find out about me......" Since there were still people not far away, Alan didn't dare to take off his disguise, so he whispered.
"Of course, the magic I taught you can't hide from my eyes. Cynthia smiled and stared at Alan's chest as she said, "It's only a little bit exposed, but it's obvious in this light." β
Alan quickly lowered his head, only to realize what Cynthia was talking about - a small part of the Sky Tears peeked out of the gap in the clasp, reflecting the sunlight in a flash. Just now there was a lot of light around the road, and there were people all around, no one would notice this kind of detail, but here it is different, there are fewer people near this doorway, and the light is darker, so it will be more conspicuous.
"Uh......" Alan quickly stuffed the tears of the sky into his clothes, and said with some embarrassment, "I thought this disguise was perfect......"
"What happened to make you go so far, even at the cost of breaking the school rules?" Cynthia asked again.
"Uh...... It's not a big deal......" Alan said with some hesitation. He owed Cynthia enough favors, and this time he really didn't want to involve her again, and as for what it was, even he didn't know very well......
"Then I'm going to report to Professor Stubourne that someone is openly using magic on campus. Cynthia pretended.
"Hey, don't, I said, I said......" Alan was really frightened by her, and quickly said, "Actually...... Well...... I don't know exactly what's going on, but I heard her say that strange people have been infiltrated in the school, and it's dangerous......"
"Strange people?" Cynthia pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is that Felix Young?"
"Professor Young?" Alan was stunned, confused by Cynthia's answer, "How could you think of him?"
"Have you forgotten who my titular fiancΓ© is?" Cynthia smiled faintly, "Although Professor Stubone blew him up that night, I felt that something was wrong when I first saw him, his mental state and appearance were really abnormal, so I asked Frey to check his file, and it turned out that the man's resume was blank except for the name and age columns......"
"A blank slate?" Alan was startled, "How is it possible! No ordinary person would have no resume, right?"
"But it didn't. Cynthia frowned slightly when she said this, "Home address, which school you graduated from, where you have worked before, etc., all of them." β
"Could it be ......" Alan couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
"That's right, I don't think I had time to fake it. Seeing that Alan was a little hesitant, Cynthia said, "If that's really the case, I'm afraid even his name is fake." β
"Is it true that Alyssa's second guess is that he is secretly playing tricks?" Alan thought.
Cynthia continued: "And he has thirty-two in the age column, do you know what that means?"
"Thirty-two years old?" After learning the news, Alan was stunned again, and his heart began to feel a little uneasy.
"If he was still alive, how old would Cynthia be if he was still alive, Arne Berestous, who had committed a heinous crime in this castle fifteen years ago, and then suddenly disappeared?" asked Cynthia softly again.
After hearing this, Allen's heart tightened, and Frost's last sentence seemed to ring in his ears instantly: "He's coming soon." β
"Thirty ...... Thirty-one......" Alan muttered.
"That's right, age can be faked, but faces don't lie, so you can't just make it up like a name...... You know what I mean, right?"
"Could it really be him?" remembered Professor Yang's cold attitude that night, it was really similar to that kind of cold-blooded killer.
However, Alan thought about it again, and felt that something was still wrong: "But he taught us water element magic, I remember that Burestu is a fire elemental ......"
"That doesn't tell the whole story. Cynthia smiled faintly, "Frost also taught us water elemental magic, but doesn't she also use wind elemental magic? β
"Hmm...... That's what ...... said," Alan was silent when he heard this.
"Anyway, this castle may really no longer be safe, you and I have to be careful everywhere. Cynthia whispered and quick, "And I'll warn you...... I have to go. β
"Huh?" Alan looked up, only then did he realize that he was still covered with a camouflage barrier, although the two of them had tried to stand as far aside as possible, but after all, this was still at the door, and the people around him didn't know how much had come and gone, and Cynthia had probably been whispering to herself in their eyes.
"If I stay in a place like this and talk about it endlessly, the whole school will probably think I'm crazy. Cynthia smiled and turned to leave, "I'll talk to you when I have time." β
But when she inadvertently glanced behind Allen, she stood still and stared at it.
Alan noticed her strange appearance, and also looked back, and saw a tall, thin figure walking towards them, and after he saw who it was, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart: what is the matter?
"Good morning, Professor Young. Cynthia took two steps forward and greeted, tugging at Allen's arm in a very subtle motion, motioning for him to step aside and stand behind him as much as possible.
I didn't expect this scrawny man to be so tall after standing up, and the platform in front of the door was like another pillar. He was using his wand to use the levitation charm to carry a cardboard box containing a large pile of miscellaneous items.
"Hmm. Professor Yang replied softly with a blank face.
"What are you...... Do you want to move something into the office? I'll help you!" Cynthia looked at the box, then suddenly pulled out her wand and said, "These things look like a lot, they seem to be hard to move, and I just happen to know the way to that office!"
Alan couldn't help but wonder when she saw this scene, Cynthia seemed to be a little too enthusiastic, this was not like her who was usually indifferent to everyone. But in the next second, he understood what she was doing.
Cynthia whispered a few incantations before a ball of flame erupted from where her wand was pointing. Most of the cardboard boxes were filled with books, so they caught fire in an instant.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I used the wrong magic!" Cynthia pretended to exclaim. In fact, there is a huge difference between the levitation spell and the fire elemental magic, and anyone who has the ability to get into this place will not be mistaken.
However, Professor Young did not seem to panic at all, took out his wand, recited a few incantations, and a stream of water quickly extinguished the flames, but many books were also wet as a result.
"I'm so sorry!" Cynthia said, raising her wand again, "I'll help you dry them!"
But this time, before she could speak, Professor Yang held her hand down.
Cynthia looked up at him and saw that he was staring at her with a cold glint in his eyes.
"Don't mess around. Professor Young's voice was slightly hoarse, but there seemed to be some anger in his tone, "I'll do it myself." β
Hearing this, Cynthia had no choice but to stand aside obediently.
I saw Professor Yang recite a few incantations that were familiar to Allen, and the water on those pages disappeared little by little, and in a few moments it dried completely, leaving only a slight wrinkle.
"Sure enough......" Seeing this scene, Alan was shocked, "He will also use fire element magic......"
Allen's heart went up and down, staring blankly at the cold man in front of him.
Professor Young, on the other hand, did not hold Cynthia responsible, and immediately re-applied the levitation charm, only glancing at her coldly and burrowing into the arch with these things.
