Episode 41 – Urwin (1/2)
After a while of bickering, Zerel left to thedepartet a new unifored to get aithout being forced to change into his own uniform
After getting Deora clothed, Zerel elaborated the next part of the disaster recovery plan:
“I think we should have soe Just in case our equip defective, or an accident happens, such as this one Little Dei…go fetch”
“Whythe tone Zerel usedto a pet
“Because you can accelerate and thus are faster” Zerel explained convincingly
“Ah…that makes sense” Deora nodded, completely oblivious to Zerel’s ulterior motives
And so, Deora set out on a quest to find the replacement for their destroyed apparatus
In the meantime, Zerel took the remains of the wooden objects and transmuted them into two tables and a chair After that, he sat on the chair, leaned on the table replacing the teacher’s desk, and took a nap
Just before Deora walked through the door, Zerel’s keen elibu ears picked up his footsteps He quickly straightened his back, took out the grading sheets and a plate that he had stored in his pocket and pretended to be doing so
As Deora entered the roo “25/25” next to an exa to the number written on the exam pass in his other hand
“Why??” Deora coain”
Zerel glanced at Deora and smiled mischievously “The equipment wasn’t defective”
Deora’s brows furrowed “It ned to be able to take the theoretically fastest casting speed into account Even if she were the fastest lass wouldn’t have shattered”
Zerel’s smile widened “Yes But the calculated er spell in mind”
Deora’s eyes narrowed “What do you mean?”
“The trigger spell she was using wasn’t the same one you used Her spell was smaller and quicker to cast”
“How is that possible?! Trigger spells can’t be simplified!”
Zerel’s eyes twinkled mischievously “You know, little Dei” Zerel started “This year, there is a person who applied for the entrance exam that selected a rather peculiar skill from the list of special skills A skill that no one ever selects”
Deora blinked a few times “What does that have to do with the previous conversation?”
Zerel tilted his head to the side, couess what it is?”
“How should I know!?” Deora stomped his feet impatiently
Zerel grinned wide “Spell breaking”
Spell breaking The action of destroying another e’s spell
It was a tere was familiar with, yet people who could actually perform it were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns
That was because, while it was relatively easy to interfere with spellcasting, it was al to another e
Deora frowned, his annoyance growing by the ain How is that relevant?”
Zerel grinned even wider “Have you ever heard of spell cracking?”
Deora’s frown deepened “No I a encyclopedia like you”
Zerel’s eyes twinkled mischievously “It is a very peculiar skill closely related to spell breaking and mystification…”
Deora scratched his head, still frowning “What about it?”
Zerel chuckled and s at all”
Deora shook his head annoyed “Arrgh! If she wasn’t using the saave her then naturally we need to repeat the test”
“Wasn’t it you that told her that using an alternate trigger spell was allowed? Are you going to take back your oords?”
Deora ground his teeth He didn’t knohat soundedback on what he previously said or letting that cheater score full points
