Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 27 The Basic Application Test Begins
After hearing these words, Alan lowered his head again and stopped talking.
"Alright, that's the end of the conversation," old Adrian saw that Alan fell silent again, suddenly stopped the topic, raised the grilled fish in his hand and said, "Let's eat first, I've already started to be hungry!"
"Hmm...... Actually, we can't wait too long here, and we have a second exam in the afternoon. Allen said.
"Afternoon?, shouldn't it be tomorrow?" said old Adrian, with a little surprise.
"Uh...... Miss Winslow seemed to be in a bad mood, perhaps because she couldn't stand the weather here and wanted to go home as soon as possible, so she moved the exam forward. ”
"Oh, that's really like her family. Old Adrian's tone was full of contempt, "Then you don't have much time to rest, and I suggest it's best to leave after eating." ”
"I think so too. Alan said as he ate.
"By the way, Alan, you try this. Old Adrian suddenly pointed to a plate in front of Kelly, which had been crumpled and looked like greens.
Because the conversation was too serious, it was then that Alan realized that in addition to the game he usually eats, there were a few more plates of vegetables that looked like wild vegetables today.
"What is this?" asked Alan as he picked up one and put it in his mouth.
"Ah, wait a minute...... I don't think you like it too much......" Kelly tried to stop him, but it was too late.
As soon as he put it in his mouth, Alan felt a heavy smell of grass, and it was very bitter, which made Alan frown, but after chewing two bites, he found that the taste was very similar to meat, which made him feel very strange.
"This is what I found in the woods when I accompanied Mr. Odrian to the Blue Lagoon to fish today, so I brought some back by the way...... We werewolves call it 'Mira', and according to legend, it is something our ancestors found in desperation to satisfy their hunger, and although it smells of nasty grass, it is it that has prevented us from genocide, so we have a deep affection for it...... And it doesn't taste bad, and we often use it to satisfy our hunger when food is scarce. ”
"Oh, the grass smells! I'm glad I didn't eat that. Riel listened for a long time in a fog, and found that he had no chance to interject, but he was suffocated, and when it came to food, he finally had something to say. He knew from looking at Allen's expression that this wild vegetable must have tasted strange, so he rejoiced on the sidelines.
But Alan wondered why old Adrian let him eat this, because with what he knew about old Adrian, this old man would never do something meaningless.
He wanted to ask why, but found that old Adrian had simply eaten something and sat down with his eyes closed.
Thinking that it was not too early, Alan had no choice but to give up, quickly finish his meal, and get up to say goodbye to them.
"I wish you both the best!" said old Adrian without getting up, opening his eyes and smiling.
They nodded, walked out of the yard, said goodbye to Kelly again, and returned to the town the way they came.
The rain stopped falling for the time being, and the two of them carried umbrellas in their hands and said nothing all the way. It's just that Riel didn't speak for a long time, which made Alan feel a little strange.
It wasn't until they were almost at the school that Rare asked, "I say, Alan...... I remember Professor Freeman saying that we're only going to have levitation and bursting in a while, right?"
"That's right...... Are you worried about the content of the exam?" Alan looked at Riel's worried face, already guessing what he wanted to ask.
"Hmm...... When I think about this, I panic a little. Riel pouted.
"Don't worry too much...... If you think about every spell casting detail, as long as you take care of those, you'll be fine! After all, we've all practiced so much. Alan patted him on the shoulder, comforting.
"Hmm. When Alan said this, Riel instantly felt much more at ease.
When they walked into the school gate, they found that basically everyone had already arrived, but Alan scanned back and forth in the crowd several times, only to find that except for those who did not get the exam papers, only Alyssa was missing.
"Huh, it's strange that Alyssa hasn't come yet. Riel looked around for a while before noticing.
"yes, with her personality, it stands to reason that she should have come earlier than us. Alan nodded.
"Could something have happened halfway through?" asked Riel worriedly.
"No, what could happen?" Alan frowned and shook his head.
At this moment there was a familiar sound of horses' hooves in the distance, it was Miss Winslow's carriage.
"Oh! that's terrible, according to Miss Winslow's bad temper, what if she announces that the exams are going to start right away!" said Riel in a low voice to Allen.
Alan still didn't speak, just frowned and looked at the school gate. Because he knew in his heart that there was no other way for them to do now, because there was no time left for them to go to Alyssa, and the only thing they could do was to pray that she would arrive soon.
"The damn rain is finally gone!" Miss Winslow had barely gotten out of the car, and her shrill voice was heard, "I've had enough of the weather here! I don't want to stay here any longer, I'm going to leave this place right tomorrow after the last test!" Miss Winslow yelled at Mr. Labredo. Monsieur Labredo was speechless, and could only smile awkwardly as he resigned.
"Actually, Monsieur Labredo is quite pitiful, isn't he? After all, the weather has nothing to do with him, and he has to suffer so much. Riel said, looking over there.
However, Alan did not answer him, but touched him with his elbow, motioned for him to look in the direction of the school gate, and said, "Alyssa is here!"
Rare immediately turned his head to look over and saw Alyssa hurrying this way. Although the rain stopped for a while, Alyssa didn't dare to run too fast because there was a lot of standing water on the ground. She saw Alan and the others at a glance, smiled and stood down in the crowd.
"It doesn't seem like anything happened. Riel said.
"Hmm...... It seems like we're worried too much. Alan replied.
At this time, Miss Winslow's voice came sharply again: "Pay attention! Immediately stand in line according to your morning exam number, and after the bird has called three times, come in in groups of nine according to the number!" After saying that, she turned around without looking back and took Mesha and Cavendi into the examination room.
Riel saw that they were still holding a lot of small boxes in their arms, and vaguely felt that they should be the props used for the exam, and his heart began to feel uneasy.
No one dared to delay for a second longer, and immediately started queuing, after all, with the experience of the morning, no one wanted to lose the qualification for the exam inexplicably.
As soon as Alan found where he should stand, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Alyssa also came over, and it turned out that their exam numbers were connected, and she was number 33. This made him feel a lot more at ease, after all, being able to have friends to accompany him to take the exam together made him feel a lot more confident.
"Hey, why are you here so late today?" asked Alyssa as soon as she walked up to her.
"Ah...... As soon as I finished eating, my grandmother started to help me review the various possible combinations of levitation spells and burst spells, and by the time I was done with them, I realized that it was a little late...... Luckily, I wasn't running slowly. ”
"Oh, I see...... Looks like everything is going to go well, right?" Riel asked.
"Okay...... I'm just feeling a little tired right now, maybe I didn't sleep well last night......" Alyssa rubbed her eyes and yawned again.
"Come on, hold on a little longer, it should be over soon. Alan cheered her up.
"Well, you have to do it too!"
After saying these few words, they both turned back to find out where Riel was. There were nearly ten people between them, and two people in a row, so it was supposed to be quite far behind them, but to their surprise, they weren't that far away. It seems that several of the ten people who didn't get the exam papers are in between.
At this time, the bird crowed, and the door of the examination room was opened, and Alan saw the first nine candidates lining up to enter the examination room in turn, but when he tried to take a closer look at the exam content through the window, he found that the glass had been cast a layer of magic that could obscure his vision. It's a bit similar to Old Adrian's enchantment, except that his one can be seen directly to the other side of the enchantment, and you can't see the inside, but this one looks pitch black. However, for Allen, there was not much difference, and in short, his idea of knowing the content of the exam in advance was ruined.
But Alan thought about it, and it was not wrong, because if he could see inside, it would be too unfair to the candidates in front of him.
