Chapter 296 – Wooden Bu (1/2)

Recently, he was just idling at home with nothing to do but sleep, so he’s accumulated a lot of magic power. He already had the strength of an advanced seventh-level magician, he was soon to break through to the eighth-level.

It was just a mere refined magic stone, it wasn’t like it was some treasure or anything, so any seventh-level magic could easily blow it up. He would never admit defeat and do something like pay to get certified.

However, he didn’t want to reveal his true strength just with something like this. There was no point in shattering their worldviews.

He was only here to get certified then randomly choose a mission to placate Elena… cough, no, not placate, but carefully choose an important mission and help Elena start investigating about the traitors!

“Um… are you the manager here?” Lin Xiao asked.

“That’s right, I’m Hebrew, who are you?” Hebrew was a bit surprised when he appeared.

His calm demeanor also made him feel strange, although he appeared to be polite, he couldn’t detect any flattery from his eyes. It felt as if he was just talking to a passerby that wasn’t worth mentioning.

A passerby?

Indeed, Hebrew had the right feeling, in Lin Xiao’s eyes, he was but a normal NPC passing by…

“I’m Lin Xiao, a student from Loran Academy, this is my badge, I want to get certified.”

Lin Xiao took out his badge and briefly introduced himself and wanted to start the challenge.

“Okay, the rules are the same, you pass as long as you can knock down the stone doll with magic.” Hebrew impatiently pointed at the blackish stone doll then disdainfully said, “If you fail, don’t try to find excuses like that dumb kid.”

“Hehe, I won’t.”

Lin Xiao chuckled and brushed it over, he turned to look at Lin Tian who looked like he wanted to leave, but also didn’t want to leave. As well as Yao Zi who was holding her brother and looked at him full of expectation, hoping that he would help them.

Both of them were like him and had black hair and black eyes, especially Lin Tian, who looked similar to him, I guess they technically have the same ethnicity? But Lin Tian was half a head shorter and his eyes were full of vigor, he looked like an energetic youth, unlike himself, who looked like an unmotivated good-for-nothing.

Regarding them, you couldn’t really say that he liked them, but he didn’t dislike them either.

Although he had some conflicts, they never ended up harming his interests, so he didn’t mind. The sister Yao Zi was also gentle and kind and made him feel very comfortable, like the warmth of a neighborhood older sister, dumb and cute, as for her little brother Lin Tian… he may not be that mature, but at least he isn’t a bad person, so if he can help, Lin Xiao wouldn’t just be a bystander and was willing to put in some effort.

Don’t forget, Yao Zi had the rarely seen Wizard’s bloodline! As someone who loves magic techniques, he wanted to befriend Yao Zi, so he would have more opportunities to experience just how powerful it is!

Of course he didn’t want to befriend her because she was beautiful, had a great figure and was gentle to boot! He was purely interested in magic!

“Cough… Hebrew, although I don’t believe their words, and don’t think you did anything in secret, can you explain how the stone doll was configured so that it would be able to be knocked down with fifth-level magic?” Lin Xiao earnestly asked and blinked innocently at Hebrew.

“That…”

Hebrew hesitated, he didn’t want to say too much originally, but since Lin Xiao asked earnestly and it wasn’t a secret in the first place, he had no reason to hide it.

“The inside of the stone doll is actually empty, it’s stuffed with wood.”

“Wood?”

“Yes, wood.”
