Chapter 18 – Finger Snap (2/2)

It accurately hit, the fireball burst into flames and a black mist enveloped Lin Xiao and Elena.

“Lin Xiao!” Teacher Woos shouted worriedly.

Everyone thought that Lin Xiao had been hit! But in reality…

As a slight breeze swept by, the smoke gradually dispersed and the figures of the two victims finally became clear.

“What?” Rosie looked incredulously at Lin Xiao who fell to the ground.

Elena still stood expressionlessly at her spot, and kept a two-step distance from Lin Xiao. Other than feeling a little uncomfortable after inhaling the black smoke, nothing else happened to her.

As for Lin Xiao… In Rosie’s opinion, the fireball did hit him, and he did fall, but he was unscathed! The clothes on his body were not burned at all!

How can this be?

“Oh… Elena help me up.”

“Yes, master.”

Lin Xiao expressed his astonishment with great exaggeration, then extended an arm to Elena. Elena was filled with grievance, but she could only think about it and pull his arm unwillingly and dragged him up with great effort.

He patted the dust on his body, Lin Xiao brought out his acting skills and screamed at Rosie resentfully.

“Hey, Missy, are you trying to kill someone!?”

“I, I…not…no! Why are you okay? Just now…”

“Ha?” Lin Xiao ran over covered in dirt and shouted while pointing at Rosie’s nose. “You still have a look of regret. Would it have been better if I was killed by you?”

“No, no! I, I, I, I… I… uh…”

When has Rosie been treated like this before? Denounced by Lin Xiao in front of all the other students, she crashed on the spot and was not able to refute at all.

What happened just now? The fireball clearly hit, but why is Lin Xiao okay?

To try to gain the advantage but end up worse, how embarrassing! Rosie suddenly felt that she was an idiot. Her nose tickled and there was something warm rushing out of her eyes.

“Lin Xiao! How are you? Are you hurt?” Woos quickly rushed over and looked at Lin Xiao’s body up and down to make sure he was okay before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Teacher, I’m fine.” Lin Xiao shook his head. “I was just unlucky. Fortunately, the fireball went out of control and self-destructed midway, otherwise, it would have been terrible!”

“Out of control and self-destructed?”

Rosie took a few deep breaths and choked back her tears of disappointment.

—— In the situation where a magician forcibly exerts powerful magic when the magic level is not enough, it will cause a serious burden on their mind. It’s also easy to lose control of the magic. It was a very common occurrence to lose control and self-destruct, Rosie understood this very well.

Lin Xiao said that the reason why he was not injured was because the fireball technique was out of control and self-destructed —— but Rosie was 100% sure that she never lost control of the fireball! Going out of control and self-destructing was impossible.

What really happened?

“Rosie, you…” just as Woos was about to scold Rosie, he was stopped by Lin Xiao.

“It’s fine teacher, it was just an accident and I’m not injured, so you don’t need to blame her.” Lin Xiao unexpectedly spoke up for Rosie, reluctantly smiled, turned to Rosie and said, “Anyway, you didn’t do it intentionally, so it’s useless even if I reproach you, right?”

“Eh? I…sorry, I, I didn’t mean it…” Rosie was a bit stunned and instinctively apologized.

“Un, I forgive you. The test is over, I should go home and rest.” Lin Xiao had an expression that he shouldn’t stay any longer and he quickly beckoned Elena to leave.

Elena looked at Rosie who was almost crying, then looked at Lin Xiao who pretended to be a good person and seemingly wanted to say something.

The crisp and faint snap earlier made her extremely concerned. There was no “magic chant”, no “magic circuit”, there was nothing. It was like that inconspicuous little fireball appeared out of thin air ——

Lin Xiao was definitely acting again! He’s up to something again, Rosie’s fireball definitely did not explode because she lost control!

Elena wanted to expose Lin Xiao! But very quickly, she suddenly remembered what happened in the past few days, and couldn’t help but shiver and swallow her words.

No, I can’t run my mouth anymore! … She still had lingering fears.

If she did this, Lin Xiao that damn pervert would have another excuse to harass her and rub her chest again!

In order to avoid having her chest attacked, Elena had to leave without saying a word and silently follow behind Lin Xiao.

The involved party quickly slipped away and the students finally recovered from the accident. They whispered irresponsible gossip around the inattentive Rosie.

“What the hell is going on, the spell went out of control and self-destructed midway? That was a close call!”

“Hey, do you think that Rosie deliberately missed her fireball and wanted to teach Lin Xiao a lesson?”

“No way, right? Lin Xiao is going to fight Caesar soon. If he gets injured now, won’t he definitely lose?”

“That… Rosie, don’t tell me she deliberately wanted to hurt Lin Xiao to help Caesar win the duel?”

“What? How despicable, to actually use this kind of method! How disgusting…”

“Move, get out of the way!” Afu forced aside the students who were in the way and quickly rushed to Rosie’s side and asked worriedly, “Miss, are you okay?”

“I’m fine…” Rosie pushed Afu away and asked, “Hey, did you see it?”

“See what?”

“My fireball, did it really explode because I lost control?”

“Sigh… miss, don’t say anything anymore, let’s just go!”

Hearing the malicious words of the students in their surroundings, Afu couldn’t worry about anything else and quickly escaped the field with Rosie.

As for why the fireball exploded midway ——

It was probably because Miss Rosie was too nervous and she lost control of the fireball.

Presently, Afu could only reach this conclusion.
