Episode 39 – Past expiration date (2/2)

Those three digits represented the duration of the Great Mage Wars After the wars, the nuer or simply bad luck

He shook his head and proceeded to inspect the validity of the exaht it and found her exa the ones in front of him

“Begin” Deora grinned widely and again, flipped the hourglass upside doithout touching it

As Elaru reached the speedometer, she placed her palms on the table and leaned towards the center of the apparatus, co as close to it as she could

“Are you going to show us that altered spell you spoke of?” Deora taunted, norant words

Instead of the eave him a brilliant smile, that made his heart skip a beat “Yeah” She nodded

Deora was clueless as to how to respond Elaru started casting, and Deora just blinked in confusion

Big mistake

When Deora’s eyes opened next, the last ball had just been lit His one blink caused hi what happened

All 20 glassob glowed brightly like suns, the hourglass heated up, the jelly inside starting to boil

Before anyone could question what happened, before anyone could gape in shock, the jelly changed color into red looking si sound

However, it failed to pass through the bottleneck of the hourglass

That’s because the extrelass crack and shatter in an instant

The burning jelly splattered and sprayed everywhere! It sprayed over the glass balls which were still glowing,the candles It fell over the cables, co the balls from one another

It even splattered over the table and the floor, creating holes on the wooden table and carpet The extreme heat even caused the carpet to burst into flames

And worst of all, it splattered all over Deora as standing the closest to the hourglass

No, that wasn’t the worst part

The worst part was that the culprit behind this incident see to happen because she stepped back from the proximity of the table just in time

Deora stood frozen with his face a ape, his eyes alidly up in the air, atte to shi+eld his face And as if that picture wasn’t co jellyhiar

Well…a beggar on fire…cause his clothes caught fire

The only upside to the whole ordeal was that Deora always had a self-sustained heat isolation enchantment on his own body so the flames didn’t burn hi hi or when he was mad

However, the clothes he was currently wearing weren’t fireproof like his usual attire This was the uniforiven to him by the university to wear on the exaot one

The examinees were deathly quiet, with their host

Excited clapping broke the deathly quiet of the situation “Bravo! 25/25! Your speed was so fast you even broke the equipment” Zerel spoke in a mischievous voice that suddenly made Elaru’s face twist into horrorFrakkidy frakk!

She wanted to show off, but she had no intention of breaking the artifact! They wouldn’t disqualify her for that, would they?

Quick! shi+ft the blame! She scratched her head sheepishly “Ah…your equipment is past its expiration date”

The people in the room almost fell to the floor

Shameless!!

As if anyone would believe that!

Deora’s face started , from shock to fury His face reddened, coupled with his red hair,him look like a tomato As he looked down at the sorry state of his clothes, as he looked at the evenacross the carpet, his hands started shaking

He looked up at Elaru, his eyebrow violently twitching

“OUT!! Everyone out!!!!” He pointed with a shaking finger towards the door and screamed furiously

As soon as he bellowed, the fire flickering on his body started spreadingthe entire room with intense pressure He looked like a demon, his whole body on fire, his face distorted in fury The fla all around him, on the carpet and speedometer

Elaru was the first to dart through the door Her action woke everyone up, and they galloped towards the door like a herd of wild beasts Pale-faced, they pulled and pushed each other chaotically, frantically Soot stepped on The heel one fe her uncereround, before she quickly sca her broken heel behind

For the first tiot up fro will be just fine You’re not hurt, are you?”

“Of course, I am not hurt!! As if this measly liquid could even be compared to the heat of my fire!!” Deora roared out But just after the roar, he seemed to realize a problem he failed to take into account

His clothes weren’t heat resistant, and in the fit of rage, he even accelerated the spread of the fire Soon there was little left of his clothes

Zerel looked at the baby smooth skin in front of him and smirked “I was about to say, I’d fix the holes on your clothes but…” He , I can’t fix”

Suddenly he seeling like a little girl That seenited the flames on his body with a loud snarl
