Episode 39 – Past expiration date (1/2)
“Of course, I wouldn’t ask that You have clearly stated that spell preparation isn’t allowed” Elaru smiled mischievously As Zerel saw that smile his eyes lit up
He recognized that expression That sly smile was just the same as his when he was about to dupe someone!
“Oh? Good that you were paying attention” Deora humphed “Any other questions?” He asked just for the sake of asking, he didn’t expect anyone to respond
His face fell when Elaru’s hand rose up in the air again “Would altering the trigger spell be allowed? As long as we are able to activate the testing equipht?”
Trigger spells were er spell You could draw a flower or write a sith dense us spells didn’t do anything when cast The reason why they could activate a ical artifact was purely because the artifact was enchanted to respond to a specific bogus spell
A trigger spell was like a password The ical artifact would respond only to the correct password
Deora’s e the password, of course it won’t activate! Why would you even change it? It makes no sense!
If Elaru asked this straight away, Deora would have questioned the purpose of the question and eventually explained the iood i hiht that explaining it would be a waste of tiirl actually tried changing the trigger It would elevate his sour mood and entertain him
He sly “Sure Go ahead”
Zerel’s face revealed a wry sainst changing the trigger spell In fact, everyone wouldhow to cast it to orized as changing the trigger spell, it was si
Theoretically speaking, if soer, the speedo speed because it wasn’t tuned for that specific trigger spell
Therefore, although there wasn’t a rule against it and the possibility of it happening was non-existent, Deora shouldn’t have allowed it
“Any other questions?” Deora spoke through gritted teeth, his head turning left and right, daring anyone to speak up again No one had any questions, but even if they did, they wouldn’t dare say anything
“Alright, those 5 lass on Zerel’s desk, and it flipped to the other side as if flipped by an invisible hand
Exaer over and over Yet, Elaru did so – she closed her eyes and didn’t cast anything
If other examinees weren’t too busy with their own practice, they would have laughed at her and mocked her However, since they had little tiarded her actions
Deora, on the other hand, had plenty of ti? Don’t tell e it? Or is she analyzing the enchantlassob?
If Deora weren’t afraid of his laughter disturbing the other exa and pointing at her as if she was a clown
Zerel still had a s expression, but no laziness or boredoe of expression revealed was pondering His understanding of enchanther than Deora’s In fact, he even authored several books on the subject of ancient enchantical artifacts
Is she doing what I think she is doing?
Several le spell Soon, there were less than two
Suddenly, Elaru’s eyes snapped open, and she started casting spells
Deora chuckled Finally, she gave up and started practicing the trigger spell like the rest
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he stopped chuckling
Fast!
Her spells were cast so quickly that he couldn’t even catch what it was that she was casting
Yet, what baffled hie pause between each spell As if she wasn’t satisfied hat she cast and had to ponder how to improve it If she didn’t make the pause, she could possibly even reach his speed But with the pauses, her speed was abysmal
Deora chuckled Ifwas as terrible as hers, I’d stop to ponder theof life too
The spells that she cast couldn’t even light up the ball Deora attributed it to bad weaving
Half a minute passed, and Deora was more and more astonished Even an idiot would have learned hoeave the trigger by now! It was specifically designed to be very easy to learn and weave Yet her balls still aren’t lighting up! How did she ever hope to enroll in Muni with such abys??
When there was only one lass, suddenly the ball in Elaru’s hand started lighting up
Better late than never Deora shook his head in pity Her pauses between spells decreased However, it still wasn’t enough to compare to his speed
When the last grain of sand trickled through, Deora immediately commanded: “Stop! 5 minutes are up!”
When his words fell, everyone without exception stopped weaving No one wanted to lit up this firecracker
Deora waved his hands and all papers and balls in the hands of examinees flew back to the teacher’s desk
He then looked at every exa to decide who’ll take the test first His face suddenly spread into an evil grin that didn’t suit hi him look funny
“You!” He pointed his finger towards Elaru “Come on up and take the exam”
He wasn’t a patient person, so he wanted to enjoy the entertain what speed the redhead could achieve
Elaru didn’t hesitate for a second, sraceful steps she went up to take the exam
She handed him her exam pass When Deora saw the number written on the pass he looked at it dumbfounded for several seconds Didn’t I choose this batch of 20 because it would include this nuht it would be cool
