Chapter 294 – 25 For One, 40 For Two (2/2)

“Okay, I agree!”

“Hehe, since you decided, then follow me.” Hebrew wanted to strike when the iron was hot when Lin Tian agreed, so he quickly wrapped his arms around his neck, but Lin Tian was pulled back by Yao Zi.

“What’s wrong? I know you’re worried about the money, but getting certified as soon as possible is important, it’s our fault we didn’t pass and Hebrew is already giving us a discount so he’s already taking care of us.”

“No, that’s not it, I just feel like something’s weird… c-come over here.”

Yao Zi smiled and forcibly dragged him away from Hebrew and began quietly whispering to him.

“Brother, it feels like he’s tricking us!”

“Eh? No way, he feels like a good person.”

“Uh… but something doesn’t feel right, it felt like there was something wrong with that stone doll. He clearly said that fifth-level magic was enough to knock the doll over, but neither of our magic worked, was it a problem with our magic? Or was there something wrong with that stone doll…”

“What do you mean?” Lin Tian stopped and carefully thought about what happened and realized it, “He secretly tampered with the doll so that we couldn’t pass!”

“I-it’s possible…” Yao Zi nodded and secretly glanced at Hebrew that was waiting impatiently.

Although she doesn’t remember how she was able to cast the ice comet, but she was a hundred percent sure that ice ball had the power of a genuine high fifth-level magic!

That was the inherent judgement of Yao Zi’s wizard’s bloodline, even if she looks like an idiot that doesn’t know anything about magic circles and theory, but she could see a magic’s intrinsic nature through light and shadows and explosions, just with one look, she could read its direction and trajectory.

Thanks to her gifted insight, to her surprise, she noticed that the reason their magic didn’t knock the doll over wasn’t that it wasn’t strong enough. It was because the refined magic stone could absorb magic far greater than the fifth-level! So even if the explosions looked terrifying, but it was like a normal punch or kick to the doll.

That kind of power wasn’t enough to knock over the heavy stone doll.

“Damn, how dare he use that kind of method to cheat us out of our salary, how shameless!”

Lin Tian finally understood the full story.

Hebrew somehow tampered with the doll so that no fifth-level magic could knock it down, then he tricked them into the challenge so that when they failed, he could use renovations as the excuse to ask for money. Since they had the salary, he wasn’t worried about them not having money.

“But, we don’t have any evidence…” The cautious Yao Zi helplessly shook her head and didn’t know what to do.

Hebrew was the manager here, since they had no proof, they couldn’t expose his schemes!

“Damn, that bastard!”

“Eh? Lin Tian, w-what are you doing?”

“I’m going to get even!”

“D-don’t be impulsive… hey!”

Unlike Yao Zi who swallowed her anger, Lin Tian angrily stormed towards Hebrew like he wanted to pick a fight.

“You bastard, how dare you trick us!?”

“Kid, you must be out of your mind, who’s tricking you?” Hebrew already anticipated it and instantly changed his earnest expression to one of disdain.

“If you didn’t trick us, why couldn’t fifth-level magic knock down the doll?”

“Hmph, that’s simply because you’re incompetent and can’t cast true fifth-level magic, how can you blame that on me?” Hebrew coldly snorted and denied it as Yao Zi expected, “You two hicks from Bamboo Academy, this is Winterless City, not your raggedy village, this is no place for you to throw a fit!”

“W-what did you say?”

“Just get out if you don’t have the strength, don’t waste my time… tsk, what bad luck. Okay, you two good-for-nothings can come back in half a month, now, get out!”

Hebrew impatiently muttered while driving the two of them outside, because he used too much strength, he accidentally knocked the frail Yao Zi over and sent her falling to the ground.

“Yao Zi!”

Lin Tian quickly ran over to help his sister up, he was enraged and wanted to chop Hebrew’s hands off!

At that time, there was a commotion inside the office.

There was several voices followed by a series of slow footsteps and a youth with black hair and black eyes walked into the backyard.

“Excuse me, is this the place to get certified?”
