Chapter 261 - Magic Circles (2/2)

”Hey Nes, why aren't you writing anything, is it too easy for you?” Max said.

This was going to be a huge problem Ray thought. His status at the school was the perfect scorer on the admissions test. If there was anything that would out the fact Ray wasn't a magician, it would be this.

”Why aren't you writing anything?” Ray asked.

”Ha, ha, well that's why I came over to you, you know my scores, they're the lowest in the class.”

That's when Ray turned his head to Van hoping he had written something, however, Van was slumped in his chair with his head down still sulking about the story he had told earlier.

”It's all my fault.” He mumbled.

Just then Springett started to walk around the classroom checking on everyone's magic circles they had drawn, then when she reached the last row she started smiling as she walked over to Ray. As if she knew she had caught him.

”Oh, what's this.” She said lifting up Ray's blank piece of paper. ”Why didn't you write anything down, it couldn't be you don't know how to fix a simple magic circle like this do you?”

That's when Max chimed in.

”No you got it wrong teacher, you see Nes here got a perfect score on the admissions test. Something that has never been done at the academy before. He just finds this too easy.”

”Oh, really?” Springett said now with a huge grin on her face.

”Well, why don't you go up to the front of the class and show everyone how it's done. ”

At that moment, Ray wanted to do everything in his power to strangle Max. As Ray walked up to the front of the class, Max gave him a thumbs up on his way.

Max felt like he had done Ray a service, a chance for him to show off in front of the other students, unknown to him, Ray was cursing him wishing he was dead.

While Ray started to walk up to the front of the class, he started to think. Was there anyone in the Redwings that would be able to give him the answer. Avrion was full of useless knights and although Slyvia was smart, she had no reason to ever study magic circles as they could never use magic.

As Ray got closer to the front of the class he started to panic more. Which was only making it harder for him to think about who to contact.

Then finally he had reached the front of the class.

”Go on then, show us how it's done,” Springett said.
