Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 9. The Philosopher's Stone

Hearing Hayward's words, Emma realized that she really didn't pay much attention to the exam.There were too many opportunities for her to ask Hayward for information about the entrance examination, but she never asked.This was not because she ignored Hayward's ability to gather information as a nobleman, but because she never thought of it, even once.

Perhaps in her subconscious mind, she always felt that she should take the exam in the most authentic state, so that the admission would be meaningful.

On the other side of the examination room, some girls bowed and saluted after the exam, and then went to the other side of the marble statue to wait in line.Some hid their faces and left sadly through another path.

Already eliminated?This is just the first hurdle.

"The next...Hay...Hayward?"

The suspicious voice came from the teacher who chanted the candidate's name, as if he couldn't believe it was such a name.She looked up at the side of the reserve queue, put down the roster and came over.

"Who is Hayward?"

Hayward hurriedly stepped forward and solemnly replied, "It's me, teacher."

"What's the matter with your name, where is your last name?"

Hayward grinned at the teacher, and quietly turned his head to wink at Emma.Then he took a few steps forward, leaned over to the teacher and whispered softly.

The teacher's expression was a little surprised at first, then he frowned, and his expression became very complicated.

"Nonsense!" She glared at Hayward first, and then said with a sigh, "Wait here for a while, I will ask the vice president for instructions."

After finishing speaking, she quickly returned to the examination room and said something to Vice President Passy.

Then, Vice-President Passy transmitted voice from there. Although he was far away, it sounded like he was speaking normally in front of everyone.

"Hayward, are you sure you want to take the exam with this name? Once you are admitted, this name will officially accompany you for the rest of your life, and you will be blessed by magic and never change it."

"Sure! Sure! Honorable Dean."

Hayward still had a playful smile on his face and waved his hands vigorously.

Vice President Passy thought for a moment, sighed almost imperceptibly, and nodded to the teacher next to him who was in charge of the roll call.

"Heyward, come here."

Hayward patted Emma on the shoulder in fear, and jumped over the stone pier path on the water surface, skipping about two-thirds of the foothold in the middle.There were ripples near the stone pier she stepped on.

It didn't take much time for Hayward to finish the first exam.Before joining the second queue, she turned and yelled hard at Emma.

"Emma, ​​come on! I'm waiting for you!"

Immediately, both the remaining girls in the waiting queue and the girls in the second queue who had passed the exam all cast curious glances at Emma.The scene was so embarrassing that it made her face burn.

Finally it was Emma's turn, and there were not many people left.

Walking carefully across the water, Emma slowly bowed to the teachers.

"Are you Emma Green? O'Hara Green's granddaughter?"

The person who asked the question was Vice President Passy, ​​her eyes became very gentle, and her previously unapproachable aura also subsided.

"Yes... Lord Dean."

"Is O'Hara okay now? I wrote her a few letters, but she rarely replied. If she hadn't signed up for you this time, I wouldn't be sure if she was still alive."

"Grandma is fine... she is in good health. Apart from treating illnesses for the villagers, she spins cloth every day."

Vice President Passy frowned, as if he was not satisfied with this answer.But she didn't say much, just smiled at Emma, ​​and then signaled to the teacher next to her that she could continue the exam.

"Emma Green, come and pick up this stone. Then try to feel the magic essence in it, and try to mobilize them."

Emma hurried forward.The stone on the table looked inconspicuous. If it wasn't a little transparent, it would be no different from the smooth pebbles washed by the ordinary stream.

She picked up the stone, held it tightly in her hand, closed her eyes and felt it with her heart.

It is magic essence, a huge amount of magic essence, the concentration is beyond Emma's imagination.She seemed to see a huge vortex, slowly rotating in the stone, like a nebula in the universe, full of vitality.She tried to absorb the magic power from the edge of the nebula, the stone began to emit a faint light, and bits and pieces of magic light emerged from the gap between her fingers, and then uncontrollably turned into water gushing out, as if a water balloon had been squeezed hard.

Emma was startled, and jumped to the side reflexively, then realized her gaffe, smiled embarrassedly, and put down the stone.

"Very good, very sensitive to water elements. Go to the next queue and wait."

Vice President Passy flicked his sleeve lightly, and the water that fell on the table and the ground just now disappeared immediately.

Emma was relieved, and hurriedly saluted and left.It turned out that the first test was to test the perception of magic elements.Will my main attack direction be water magic in the future?This is the first time I heard of it.I remember that my grandma taught me all types of magic, but those were very simple, and I didn't think any of them were particularly easy or difficult.

There are four types of magic elements, namely water, fire, wind, and earth. You are particularly sensitive to one of these elements. It does not mean that you can only practice magic in this area, but that you are more likely to go further in this field.It is said that the elemental elves in charge of these four elements are named Undini, Salamanda, Sylph, and Norm. To become a mage or a witch, you first need to be favored by these elves.

It is rumored that besides the four elements, there are light magic and dark magic, but they are extremely rare.Once a genius with these two perceptual physiques appears, he will be immediately protected and carefully cultivated, and he will basically not walk among the people in the future.

But to Emma, ​​this is like a legend. After all, among the mages and witches who have obtained titles and become famous on the Duma continent, they have never heard of anyone who uses these two kinds of magic.

"How about it, what's your department?"

Hayward ignored the rules and approached Emma to ask.Anyway, the teacher is still busy with the test, so he won't control them for the time being.

"Water system, it should be."

"Ah! I hate it, isn't that very inconsistent with me? Tsk!"

Hayward pouted. When she held the Philosopher's Stone just now, the stone became hot and even shot out sparks, burning a big hole in the tablecloth.Her sensitivity to the fire element is enough to make Vice President Passy look at her differently.

"I think it's quite reasonable. Don't you think we're a good fit?"

Emma smirked. In fact, this perception of elements is not related to personality, at least it has never been proven in formal research.It's just that "fire and water are incompatible" is still the existence recognized by everyone's common sense.

"Hmph! But to be honest, since we have different physiques, we will be separated in the next exam."

Hayward looked a little disappointed, she had expected to stick to Emma all the time.

Emma tried to ask, but at this time Vice President Passy noticed the commotion here, and shot her cold eyes over him, so frightened that she quickly shut up, and dragged Hayward to stand in the queue.

Not long after, the first exam officially ended.Only seventeen of the forty remained.But those noble ladies all passed smoothly, and they all took it for granted.So the team was subtly divided into two parts, as if there was a natural barrier.

However, this division is also temporary. As Hayward said, the remaining people were divided into four groups according to their sensitivity to magic elements. Emma's water element group consisted of five people, of which only one A noble lady.
