Chapter 753: The Truth Reappears

They sneaked into the building and quietly made their way up to the second floor.

The smell of burnt wood was still present in the corridor where books and pieces of paper were scattered around the floor, presumably left behind by the students who left in a panic.

The group of witches followed the smell and soon found the site of the accident: a classroom located at the end of the corridor.

After entering the room, Lily noticed that a corner of the room had been charred black and the entire wall had cracked open. The cracks even reached the floor. However, the fire did not seem to have spread very far. Lily could easily see the marks on the ground that were caused by the changes in the intensity of the flames. The pitch black wood near the source of the fire and the obviously less burnt wood at the outer rims formed a ripple-like pattern on the ground. She knew that this was not a fire that started naturally.

But what Lily was worried about the most were the cracks that snaked down the wall.

They looked almost as if they were the result of ax swings, and the openings seem entirely carbonized. Lily could even feel a faint residual warmth when she touched it with her fingers.

“This must be the place.” Mystery Moon walked around the corner and said, “Summer, we’ll leave the rest to you.”

“Okay… But please stop me if someone were to come,” Summer walked into the center of the room and summoned her magic power.

Thanks to them knowing the exact time of the explosion and the fact that only less than a day had passed since the accident, Summer soon found the time right before the accident. As her magic power gushed out, the damaged walls recovered, and order was restored back to the messy room. Many students appeared in the room, some were taking a nap on their desks while some were happily chatting together. There was no teacher on the teaching podium, meaning that this was probably during a lunch break.

Margie and Vanilla, who saw this sight for the first time ever, gasped and could not help exclaiming, but they quickly covered their mouth as were of disturbing Summer. They became quite flustered and almost tripped over as they tried to step back to dodge a “student” who walked over and passed through them like a ghost.

“Don’t worry. These are just illusions,” Evelyn explained enthusiastically. “Summer can create flashbacks of scenes that have already happened.”

“What… a great ability!” Amy praised with admiration. She wasn’t scared at all even though it was also her first time experiencing Summer’s flashback creating ability.

“Haha… it’s actually no big deal.” Summer touched her head bashfully. “My ability is nothing compared to Sister Nightingale’s.”

“Nightingale? Do you mean the blonde sister who always follows His Majesty around and barely shows up?”

“Yeah, she’s the most powerful witch in the Western Region, or maybe in the entire kingdom!”

“Awesome!” Amy said with sparkling eyes.

“Wait,” Mystery Moon suddenly interrupted them. “Look!”

Lily frowned. “This is…”

“Bullying?” Evelyn whispered.

They saw five or six ten-year-old kids corner two girls, arguing fiercely. Each of the two girls reacted in completely different ways: one stood in the front, reaching out her hands to block the other kids away from the other girl, while the other was cowering behind her with a frightened look.

As the universal primary classes did not set a school age, the oldest student in the bully group looked like to be 15 or 16 years old, taller and stronger than the two girls combined. However, the short-haired girl was not intimidated by the other side’s numbers or size and just stood on bravely.
