"Me?" Alan was startled, he didn't expect Cynthia to suddenly invite him, or at such a juncture.

"Well, no problem, Miss Winslow...... Although I know that you can definitely do it on your own, but since you have offered to ask another person to help, there is nothing wrong with that, because this problem is originally a group, and I wanted to check your training results and your cooperation skills by the way. Professor Stubone agreed without hesitation.

Sure enough, it was guessed by Alan and Cynthia.

Then Professor Stubone nodded and said to Allen, "Then Paterna-san, please come up and help Miss Winslow complete this challenge!"

"Uh......" Alan looked a little less confident, after all, they had only guessed that Professor Stubone might have to take this test, but they hadn't had time to cooperate with the practice.

"Come on, no problem...... Believe in yourself. Cynthia stared at Alan and whispered, and handed Alan a "I'm here, don't be afraid" look, and took the lead on the raised "podium".

"Hmm......" Seeing Cynthia's clear eyes, the tension in Alan's heart instantly dissipated a lot. There was always a strange magic in her eyes that reassured him.

However, Cynthia also knew that she was only deliberately speaking lightly to cheer up Alan, and in fact, it was not a simple matter for two people to use this magic together. This requires a very high level of tacit understanding between two people, to output similar magical powers at the same time, and then to recite the incantation almost simultaneously. During this period, because of the need to mobilize the magic power in the body and recite spells, there is only eye contact between the two spellcasters, and if they make a mistake, they are very likely to fail.

Alan also knows how difficult it can be, so he's trying to think back to the scene when he and Riel practiced before, so that he can find his sense as soon as possible.

Cynthia was already on the stage. In order to ensure that the coordination was as perfect as possible, Alan carefully determined the position several times, and finally stood in front of Cynthia's right.

Professor Stubone walked around them twice, nodded and said, "Let's get started!"

The two closed their eyes after receiving Professor Stubourne's instructions, took a deep breath, and nodded to each other, creating a magical connection to the Apple almost at the same time. The only difference is that Cynthia is holding up her wand, while Alan is using her index finger instead.

The two of them held their breath, concentrating on feeling the magic flowing, each beginning to transmit it at a speed they were used to.

However, probably because Alan had been thinking about it in his heart, just about halfway through the teleportation, the sentence that suddenly appeared in Alan's mind, Cynthia had said to him, "We are very similar." ”

Although it was only for a moment, it still disrupted Allen's transmission rhythm, and even the magic link was almost broken, which made Allen break out in a cold sweat and panicked instantly.

Although Cynthia didn't know what was going on, she clearly sensed that Eren suddenly became very flustered, so she handed him a questioning look.

This look is really a relief in the snow, and it is exactly what Alan needs now. He was at a loss, but the moment he received Cynthia's gaze, the panic in his heart calmed down again. It was strange, but it did make a difference, at least allowing him to refocus on feeling the magic flowing.

Cynthia looked like she had finished transmitting, just waiting for him. Alan didn't care about anything else, so he tried to remember how much had passed before he started transmitting at a speed he was familiar with. It's just that there was such a small episode in the middle, so that Alan could only feel a rough idea, and he didn't know whether the specific amount of magic transmission was more or less.

But I can't care too much about it, and now there is no way to redeem it, only to believe in the tacit understanding between Cynthia and him.

Finally, he felt that he was almost done, so he gritted his teeth and looked over to Cynthia. Cynthia had obviously been waiting for him for a long time, and had been looking at him all the time, and the two looked at each other for a moment, nodded slightly again, and at the same time recited the incantation: "Split!"

"Smack!" was accompanied by two crisp, almost overlapping slight popping sounds, and everyone craned their necks to look into the small wooden barrel, followed by a burst of cheers, and the crowd burst into thunderous applause.

Professor Stubone also applauded excitedly and praised: "Perfect! Very perfect! Unbelievable tacit understanding!"

Alan had closed his eyes after pronouncing the spell, and he felt that his transmission was a little too much, but when he opened his eyes, he found that the apple had been divided into four perfect petals by the two of them, and it was lying in a circle.

It seems that the tacit understanding between him and Cynthia is still very high? Alan was a little surprised.

This somewhat unexpected result made him very satisfied, and he even began to enjoy the applause at this time. However, when he turned his head to look at Cynthia with a smile, he found that there was no trace of excitement on her face, but a serious face, even a little solemn looking at him, and whispered: "I really didn't read it wrong." ”

"What?" Alan didn't hear clearly because the applause was so loud.

Cynthia just looked at him lightly and did not answer, and after a long time she spoke again: "One day you will save me." ”

"What got you out, from where?" said Allen, who was taken aback and didn't understand at all. But by this time the applause had gradually stopped, and he was about to open his mouth to ask when Professor Stubourne's voice interrupted: "Uh-huh...... It's been unbelievable! It's been years since there's such a tacit cooperation, and I can't even remember how many years ago the last time was......"

As if thinking about something, Professor Stubone paced back and forth a few steps and continued to speak slowly: "Actually, this question is a test of talent and tacit understanding that appears in the first class every year...... As you know, talent is not insignificant to a magician, and it is no exaggeration to say that it determines to some extent what you can achieve in this life...... The degree of tacit understanding is an important indicator of how high you can stand in your work in the future, because the nature of your magic is different, and most of the daily work of a magician is not something that can be solved by a single nature of magic, so it is full of mutual cooperation. Whether you can cooperate with others determines the responsibility you can bear and also represents your ability...... So keep in mind that cultivating a sense of understanding with others while mastering the type of magic you need to be proficient in is something that will benefit you for the rest of your life. ”

"Wow!" The classroom burst into applause again, this time more enthusiastic and more sincere than the applause that Professor Stubone had deliberately come before, and this time he did not have the same enjoyment as before, but looked quite calm.

"Oh, that's right!" Professor Stubone waved his hand to signal that the applause could stop, and then announced in a loud voice, "Because of Miss Winslow and Putna's excellent performance, each will add twenty points!"

"When~when~when......" At this time, a bell rang. This one is quite quick and short compared to the slow, long bell that sounds on the hour – it's the Worcester Clock Tower's end-of-class bell that rings every time it's time for class, as long as it's a day of class.

"Uh-huh...... Well, happy times are always short-lived, and I didn't expect the first class to end so quickly. Professor Stubone looked a little unfinished, as if he had a lot of things to say, but time didn't allow him to say anything more, otherwise it would affect the students rushing to the enchantment classroom.

"Then please listen to the homework I am going to assign...... Please come to class today because students must practice diligently after class, and I will pick individual students to check the practice at this time next week. Professor Stubone smiled, "Ah...... Also, you will have to hand in a summary of the lesson at that time. ”

With that, the little old man lifted the barrier that had been laid before the class, and went out with buckets of rotten apples and out along the way he came.

The students also left in pairs.

Cynthia and Ellen walked last, and she still walked in front of Ellen as usual.

"He seems to be quite happy with our performance in this class. Cynthia looked at Professor Stubone as he walked, feeling a little amused.

"Hmm...... In addition to being a little too face-loving, he is actually quite interesting. Alan whispered. After saying that, he subconsciously looked behind him and found that this time there was no little Bilber eavesdropping.

"It's better to be careful. Alan thought. Although he is telling the truth, he must have caused a lot of trouble if he listens to it.

"I always feel that face is more important than anything else, and not everyone is like this. Cynthia looked sideways at him and said, "Didn't you do that before?"

"Uh......" Alan smiled embarrassedly when Cynthia said this, remembering that on their way to class, he didn't dare to look up because he wasn't wearing a tie-in uniform.

"By the way......" Alan finished laughing at himself, and suddenly said to Cynthia, "Thank you." ”

"Thanks for what?"

"Thanks to you...... I added thirty points to this class. Alan looked at Cynthia's back and said, "For a freshman, I think it's really remarkable. ”

"Is that because of this?" asked Cynthia.

"Uh...... Of course......" Alan could tell Cynthia wasn't very happy with the answer, "could it be anything else?"

Cynthia looked at him and didn't speak, until they came out of the hall, Cynthia turned around and smiled and said to him, "It's okay...... What you owe now will have the opportunity to repay later. ”
