The First Female Duke

Chapter 20: (1)

Edith wasn't crazy.

On the contrary, she was sane, and perhaps her behavior was difficult to understand in the eyes of others-using a fire spell in the middle of a light tutor's test, wasn't that just waiting for the tutor to brush you off?

However, if she didn't do this, there was no way for her to break the glass cover reinforced by the formation in front of her, the light system's attack spells could not be learned until at least after the fourth year, so she couldn't use them even if she was more knowledgeable, so the only viable path now was - fire system.

As we all know, the fire system is the strongest attacking system among magicians.

Moreover, Edith had always had a speculation in her mind, if it was true that she couldn't use other spells in front of the light system test, then why did Instructor Faust come up with such a topic?

Summing up the above reasons, Edith decided to give it a go.

The red color of the tip of her wand grew brighter and brighter, and the moment she aimed it at the glass cover, the red color of the tip instantly fired like lightning . It shot out and then hit the glass cover with a thud, the beam exploding.

--A perfect, precise, no margin for error Fire Blast.

--From a freshman.

The crowd was stunned by the noise Edith made right off the bat, and it was only after the shock that they realized what she had done....... Oh, Ms. Willey used a beautiful Explosive Cracking Technique... Isn't that something you don't learn until you're in the second year? So she really does have some skills ...... No, they mean, can you really break a glass cover with a blast?

The result was of course no, a simple Explosive Spell wasn't enough to break the reinforcement formation at once - besides, Edith hadn't used her full strength either.

The red-bearded old man gave Edith a resentful look.

Edith hung her head in embarrassment at this glance, aha, she knew what her mentor meant, he was blaming her for directly using the spell without saying hello just now.

At Edith's apologetic smile, the red-bearded old man drew his wand - a red, wooden wand with a strange pattern.

It was obvious that his was much simpler and plainer than the fancy pattern of Edith's wand.

"The rest of the class back off." The old man said tautly, a little bossy about Edith having to bother him to do it.

Faust tutor's "fierce reputation" has long been outside, now see his face is not good, who dares to disobey, as long as it is close to Edith have moved a large outside, Edith here is only one person, originally the position is empty, now by the other people so back, she stood there alone on a large piece of dry and bare ground -- let a person do not want to notice even difficult. --It's hard for people not to notice her.

Edith was expressionless, trying her best to keep her composure. The old man with the red beard was a little more satisfied.

He nodded his head and chanted a complicated and awkward incantation from his mouth, and the tip of that red wand began to light up, and then the light transformed into a gossamer-like thin net, closing off the space around Edith - this was a boundary spell.

Fire-type attacks were already strong, and Explosive Spell was a complete and utter attack spell, although Edith was still a rookie and couldn't cause any widespread damage, the shards that flew out from the glass cover after it ruptured still had the potential to injure other students, which was why Faust had set up a boundary.

"You continue." Lifting his chin, the red-bearded old man said in a deep voice.

Edith took a deep breath and her gaze sharpened, if it was just a test just now, now she had a bit of certainty.

Tightening her grip on her wand, Edith built up her strength longer this time than she had earlier, and by the time the red beam exploded on the glass cover once more, it wobbled even more violently than it had last time - but there was still no sign of shattering.

The crowd had seen Instructor Faust setting up the boundary and thought that this Blast spell would really work, but now that they looked at it like this, it had been used twice and there was no trace of the glass cover, was this method really feasible?

--Edith told them the answer with her actions.

Although that one just now didn't work, the intuition in Edith's mind told her that she was doing the right thing, the third time she launched the attack, Edith stored up her power for a longer period of time, her face whitened a little bit, the three times of Blast Spells was a considerable drain on her current magic power reserves.

As the red beam of light scurried out, a voice in her mind told her that this time it was a done deal.

The beam was like a needle hitting the most fragile point of the glass cover straight on, this time the beam was thinner than the previous two times, such a change was very subtle, and the only ones who noticed it were the old man with the red beard who seemed to be careless, and the fire tutor Bertha who had been secretly observing this side.

--The glass cover shattered with a sound.

Edith breathed a sigh of relief, her instincts told her during the last attack just now that the Blast alone would not be enough to destroy the reinforced formation, and that she would need to make a small change.

The urgency of time and the remaining magic power left her with no way to change to a more powerful spell, she could only improve her use of the Blast Technique on the original foundation.

Fortunately, she did it right.

The students around her let out vague gasps of surprise that it actually broke for her!

There was a student who was not concentrating when it was his turn to take the test because he was always staring over here, and then his tutor gave him a failing grade without mercy.

This student cried and complained to his friend that he just read one less word when he recited the mantra.

Ignoring the voices around her, Edith looked to her mentor, expecting some feedback from his expression.

But the old red-bearded man froze without even batting an eyelid.

He pointed to the clock and said in a hard voice, "You have seven minutes."

Edith's newly relaxed heart lifted again, and she looked over at the little white mouse lying in a shard of glass, with a vague black color in its fur, and, importantly, the negative effect of that grim obscurity emanating from it.

Light magicians were much more perceptive of such negative effects, and Edith couldn't help but frown.

The glass cover just now seemed to have served to isolate this negative effect to a certain extent, but when the glass cover was broken, this negative effect spread uncontrollably, and the first to notice it was naturally Edith, followed by the students around her.

They began to feel their hearts beating faster, annoyance, and increased tension-the negative emotions in their bodies were amplified.

At first they were amazed by the changes in themselves, and when they reacted they all couldn't help but look at the white rat with a look of utter disgust.

--Undead and dark arts are definitely the most hated things by humans in this world.

Sensing the changes in the other students, the old red-bearded man waved his wand and the boundary seemed to be reinforced.

And the students who were annoyed just now returned to normal.

The old man put away his wand and reminded Edith, "Watch the time."

And in that little time just now, Edith had already figured out what she was going to do.

The white wand was waved again, and this time the light it emitted was a warm yellow color. This source of light was projected onto the white mouse, constant and constant.

The spell Edith was using at the moment was much calmer and boring than the visual and audible effects produced by the Fire Blast.

The other students did not understand what she was doing.

The reason was attributed to the scarcity of the Light Department, if other common departmental spells, even if one didn't know them, one would be able to call out the names after seeing them more often, but the Light Department was different, even in the Sofia Academy where the group of heroes gathered, there would only be at most one or two students who had awakened to the Light Departmental magic in each session, and when one was unlucky, there wasn't even a single one.

This led to the fact that others lacked a basic knowledge of the Light Department.

"Is it a healing spell?" Someone guessed so.

"Is your head made of paper, healing spell that's a water-based spell!!!"

That person was quite unconvinced and argued, "The light system clearly has a stronger healing and purification ability than the water system, the water system has a healing spell, how come the light system doesn't have one."

"Then it's not called that either!"

"Tell me what it's called instead!"

"......"

Actually, they were right, if the water system had a healing spell, it was impossible for the light system not to have one, except that the light system's healing spell was a strengthened version of the water system's, and the specialized name would be the purification spell.

And what Edith was using right now was exactly this spell.

Just ...... she glanced at the time, only three minutes left, and the black marks on the white rat are still half left, so the time will be too late.

Edith gritted her teeth and softly recited another string of incantations.

By the time the spell took effect, Edith's face instantly went white.

She cursed and regretted in her heart, after using so many spells before and after, her magic power was squeezed clean, and she didn't know how long it would take to recover, if she had known that this old man with the red beard was so perverted, she shouldn't have chosen it in the first place.

This wave is a big loss!

Stuck at the last minute, the black marks on the white rat finally disappeared completely, and almost the next second, Edith immediately withdrew her magic - her hands were almost shaking, a few more overloaded magic uses like this would really have to kill her.

The others looked over here and watched as the black marks on the white mouse indeed disappeared - this is, did they pass the test?

But looking at Instructor Faust's serious expression, they felt that it wasn't that simple.

The red-bearded old man looked at Edith with his hands behind his back, looking very dignified.

Edith spoke slowly after slowing down a bit:

"Mentor, I'm done."

"Hmm." The old man hmmmed as he waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm going to ask you a few questions."

This sound you don't rush almost gave Edith a heart attack, this wave of twists and turns ...... she is now sure, this old man is abrasive and difficult, no wonder the reputation in Sofia is so resounding - this is definitely a reputation based on strength.

"Mentor you ask."

"Why did you use a fire technique in my test? Don't you know that it's trickery? I can even directly rule that you failed." The old man's gaze was deep, and his first question was sharp.

The people around them perked up their ears, yes, this was the point they wanted to know the most.

Edith's heart tightened as she tried to calm herself down. The magic was spent cleanly, the questions were all done as required, and if she got stuck on a question like this and didn't end up passing ...... Edith felt like she had no face to face with the oldest members of the Willey family.
