Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 15 15. Magic Rage
The wand arrived a month after term started.They were carefully stored in the wooden box where the raw material branches were previously stored, and they lay quietly on the podium of the charm class, waiting for the owners to claim them.

Ms. Bennett, the teacher of the Charms class, calmly explained the basics of the whole class of Charms, as if she couldn't see the boxes. Most of them were boring ancient vocabulary and grammar.When get out of class was about to end, she looked at the apprentices who were ready to move, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Little boys, owning a wand is only the first step to mastering spells. You have a lot to learn in the future!"

Then she picked up a wooden box and read the name on it.The apprentice whose name was read rushed up to take it.

"Before using it, try to find the connection between the wand and yourself, and further stabilize it. Also, be grateful to the wandmaker who made the wand for you."

"Yes, Ms. Bennett."

After getting the wooden box, Hayward couldn't wait to open it, took out his wand and looked at it carefully.Her hawthorn wand has a slightly curved body, carefully smoothed at the twists and turns, like a rounded bolt of lightning.The handle of the tail is carefully decorated with gold thread, wound into a flame totem, and several small rubies are also inlaid.

"It matches your ring well, it's a gorgeous wand." Emma admired sincerely.

Hayward smiled without saying a word, picked up his wand and stroked it on his arm.

"What are you doing?"

"Gee, you didn't know. I used to hear that a wand would be exactly the length from the tip of your index finger to the elbow joint, so hurry up and see if that's true."

Emma was speechless. At this time, the teacher just called her name, so she got up and stepped forward.

Opening the wooden box, her wand retained the pale color of the branches, straight and straight.There is no external material decoration on the appearance, only the figure of the water flow is finely carved, starting from the tail end, winding all the way to a finger length from the top.

"Such a simple wand."

Hayward looked over, looking a little disappointed.But Emma liked it very much. She gently picked it up and stroked the surface of the wand. It was smooth and cold, just like the feeling of touching heartwood that day.She glanced back at Hayward, who had already run to look at Jenny's wand on the other side.

Emma quietly put her wand on her elbow, wanting to compare whether it was really what Hayward said.

"It's the same!"

Hayward was like a lingering ghost.

"Yes...the same length..."

"Right, the person who told me about this said that the wand is like a new limb growing from the body and will become a part of our body. That's why there are such and such coincidences and connections."

……

Before going to bed at night, the three girls followed the tips taught by Ms. Bennett, holding the wand with both hands on their chests, lying down and meditating.

Half asleep, Emma saw the lake she saw on the day of the test.

The difference from that day was that there was a small boat docked quietly on the shore, which seemed to tempt Emma, ​​making her want to sit on it and row to the middle of the lake to find out.

How many secrets does this lake hide?Where can this ship go?

In the shimmering light, the shore of the lake seems to gradually disappear, and the lake surface seems to be connected to the distant sky.The boat moved silently, and there was no need to row the oars at this time, as if it was moving naturally along the current.The sound of the bow cutting the water was the only sound left.

Gradually, the surrounding water flow began to become turbulent, and wherever the water flowed, no matter what, it would be sucked into it.Fallen leaves, schools of fish, and aquatic plants were all swept away.In the end, even time was not spared, and the surroundings began to become dark and unfathomable.The boat was moving faster and faster, and Emma began to feel dizzy, as if her body had moved forward, but her soul remained where she was.

Where is the water going?into a stream?Into the river?All the way twists and turns, breaking through obstacles, and finally will reach... the sea.

The sea full of magic seems to be boundless and bottomless, making those who try to conquer it lose their way.Only the most determined people can cross it and finally reach the other shore.In the surging undercurrent and whirlpool, perhaps only wisdom is the way to escape...

"Emma! Emma! Emma Green! Emma Green!"

It was Hayward's voice, her cry piercing.Reluctantly, Emma slowly opened her eyes, and found that she was being shaken by Hayward's shoulders tightly, and her whole body was like a leaf in a strong wind.

She was shocked by what she saw.The sky was already slightly bright, and there was water everywhere in the room. The accumulated water made the shoes float, and they were slamming around feebly.On the bed, on the curtains, on the bedside table, on the wardrobe, on the wall, on the books... everywhere is wet.

Hayward and Jenny were also wet, soaked from head to toe, like two drowned rats, with their hair sticking ugly to their faces.

"Hahahaha! What's wrong with you?"

Emma couldn't help laughing out loud, the scene was so funny.

"You said it!"

Hayward was so annoyed that there were tears in his eyes.She punched Emma in the chest so hard that she almost lay back.

"You are sleepy! Cast a spell with a wand, and it turns into a big spinning water ball!"

"And no matter how much you shout, you can't wake up!" Jenny also added angrily.

God knows how desperate the two of them felt when they were woken up by water in the middle of their sleep.Dear Roommate casts such a colossal attack spell that they're hiding around shouting her name.But where can you hide in such a small room?
Fortunately, the dormitory teacher heard their strange screams and arrived in time, which prevented Emma's magic from running wild and made her fall back to her bed.

Although she stopped casting spells, Emma still didn't wake up, so the scene where Hayward shook her frantically and called her full name appeared.

"puff……"

The dormitory teacher who was watching everything on the sidelines couldn't help laughing, and the three of them followed the prestige and stared at her.

"Ahem. It happens once or twice every year at this time. Don't get too nervous."

The dormitory teacher is still very young, and he usually has a good relationship with the apprentices, so it seems a bit strange to speak like a teacher at this time.

"When establishing contact with the wand for the first time, a small number of people will not be able to control the magic power and run away. You should be glad that Emma is the one who ran away. She is a water magician and her destructive power is limited."

The three of them lowered their heads and thought for a while. Indeed, if Hayward of the fire element or Jenny of the wind element ran away, the damage to the dormitory... No, it should be that the damage to the roommate must be more than that.Compared to becoming a drowned chicken, being burned into a roast pig, or blown off a cliff... I can't even think about it.

The dormitory teacher pulled out her magic wand from the burqa, and muttering words, the water in the room began to surge upwards, gradually turned into water droplets and lifted into the air, and then gathered into a floating ball of water.Under her control, the water polo slowly floated out of the window, away from the castle, into the distance, and then exploded suddenly, turning into mist in the mountains.

Everything was dry and crisp again.

"Anyway, it's dawn, why don't you just get up." The dormitory teacher ordered.

She was about to leave when she suddenly remembered that there were still important matters that she hadn't told.

"Now that you have established a connection with the wand, don't sleep with it in the future, it's not safe. Especially you, Emma."

"...Understood, Miss Vicky."

Emma drooped her head, only then began to feel guilty.
