It’s getting harder and harder to be a villain these days

"As I said last week, today is exam day."

What?take an exam!

Sophie felt dizzy for a moment. She had not studied at all in the past few days!

"I will give you three compound element questions based on past courses. Those who fail will not be eligible to continue to take my class. You must take it seriously."

Hearing this, Associate Professor Kitty also got busy and placed hourglasses on every table.

"The three questions are as follows."

Vickery snapped his fingers, and words appeared in the air.

Question [-] 'Floating Fire'

The second question 'Thunder Cloud'

Question [-] 'Burning Metal'

"You can use any elements on the table during the whole process. The time limit is three hours, starting."

After finishing speaking, the students in the audience immediately took action.

Sophie also quickly focused her attention on the question. Literally, the first question was the simplest. It only needed to combine the two elements of wind and fire.

Let’s start with it.

Sophie stretched out her palms and constructed a spell in her mind. The magic power gradually gathered in her palms along her meridians...

A cluster of flames ignited, and the bright red flames continued to "puff" upwards, and the protruding flames even faintly reached the ceiling.

No, I drank too much yesterday, and my magic power was a bit out of control...

Just when Sophie finally stabilized the power of the flames and was about to add the wind element, Associate Professor Kitty happened to pass by her.

Sophie glared at her subconsciously.

Snapped!

The distraction caused her magic to slow down a beat, and the elemental magic she was still building collapsed instantly, creating a huge shock wave.

Sophie bit her lip. Due to the interruption in casting the spell, she now only felt a burning pain in her palms, and the temperature of the bracelet was even frighteningly high...

"Hey, calm down."

Sophie tried to calm down, but she couldn't remember how she composed the spell just now.

Her head hurts, and as time goes by

As time passed by, her spirit became more and more nervous...

Suddenly, a scream came from the classroom.

"The floating fire has been completed, 4 minutes and 01 seconds."

'What?So fast! '

Sophie looked over in astonishment.

It was Olivia. After she handed the floating fire to Associate Professor Kitty who was patrolling back and forth, she began to try the second question.

Sophie also hurriedly started to rebuild the floating fire, but it was difficult to concentrate. This time, even the flames were not formed, and the magic collapsed.

Snapped!

Sophie felt a little desperate as she watched the magic power she had worked so hard to refine dissipate in the air.

She had obviously studied it carefully and reviewed it diligently, so why couldn't she do it?

Repeated failures caused Sophie to gradually lose her self-confidence, and her magic became increasingly difficult to control. In a vicious circle, she even had auditory hallucinations.

"Waste, waste, waste..."

"It's impossible, how could I be a waste? I'm not a waste."

Tortured by headaches and auditory hallucinations, Sophie's breathing became more and more rapid, and she was about to cry.

Sophie, who was on the verge of collapse, attracted the attention of countless people.

“…”

Olivia was also one of them. Seeing Sophie's ugly appearance, she couldn't help but snorted.

It was so ugly.

As a wizard, the first thing to do is to be calm, but Sophie is so cowardly that she can't even handle her emotions properly.

Even the most basic stability of magic power is "up and down" and "swaying". To be precise, she is not controlling magic power, but being controlled by magic power...

Sure enough, her worries were unfounded. Sophie would be eliminated from the competition even without her taking action.

No, it has been eliminated.

Olivia sighed and looked away.

.....

"The burning metal has been completed. The three questions took a total of 24 minutes and 15 seconds."

"Professor, Olivia completed all the questions first. Come and check."

At Kitty's call, Weekly came over and took a casual look at Olivia's results. They were very cleverly combined. She basically understood the composition of elemental magic, and she could see that she had her own unique understanding. Otherwise, It can't be so fast.

"Olivia," Vickery said.

"Yes..."

After experiencing the mistake last time, Olivia was inevitably a little nervous when she saw Vickery again, maybe she was shy?She couldn't tell.

But in short, she was prepared for the worst. If Vickery seized that incident and took the opportunity to humiliate her, then she would never apply for Vickery's lectures again in the future...

but...

"Perfect, you can go out."

Olivia's eyes widened at the unexpected praise, and at the same time she felt Sophie's envious gaze not far away.

Olivia pretended to look back at her accidentally, and Sophie was so frightened that her hands shook, and she hurriedly lowered her head in shame...

At this time, she hadn't even finished the first question.

“…”

Olivia suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

"Thank you."

After saluting Vickrey, Olivia slowly walked out of the classroom.

Before leaving, she walked around to Sophie's side and scratched the ground with her sharp heels, making a rhythmic thumping sound.

Sophie flinched, even trembling with fear.

Only then did Olivia realize what the feelings in her heart were.

happy!

This feeling of watching that half-hearted person collapse and trample her underfoot... is so exciting!

-----

"Judy, you can go."

"Cindy, you can go."

"Otis, you can go."

The number of people in classrooms is gradually decreasing.

从150人到100人，从100人到50人，从50人到20人。

However, Sophie only perfected the simplest floating fire.

With an overwhelming disadvantage, she must be the last one.

“…”

Although her mind went blank, Sophie still did not give up. She was still refining her magic power.

The bracelet resonated fiercely with the magic power, but there was no sign of fog generation.

Tick ​​tock.

Forcibly squeezing the magic power, Sophie even had nosebleeds...

The long-dried black and red spots on the table are very eye-catching. Obviously this is not the first time.

"Turt, you go out too. "

But even so, the sound that seemed to be choking her and suffocating her continued...

Someone else succeeded, but it wasn't her.

"Lol, you go too."

Every time she left someone, Sophie's hands couldn't stop shaking.

"Cade, you go too."

That cold voice was like a nightmare, a nightmare that she couldn't wake up from.

"Assa, let's go."

Finally, the last one left.

“…”

Sophie doesn't want to give up, but there's no time...

She lowered her arms and slammed her head on the table, the smell of blood filling her nostrils.

'What were you doing for three hours? '

Sophie couldn't think of it, and she didn't want to think about it, so she just quietly

Crawling there in a daze.

"Professor, three hours are up."

There was a vague conversation in the distance.

"Well, you can get off work first. I'll stay for a while before leaving."

Gradually, the surroundings became quiet and no sound was heard.

There was silence for a long time, then Sophie punched the table angrily.

bump!

How can I talk about avenging my father when I'm like this?

beep~

In a world where the sound disappears, only the clock is still spinning tirelessly, seeming to laugh at her incompetence...

It was getting dark.

In the dim classroom, Sophie slowly raised her head.

"Suck~"

She woke up her nose and tried to wipe away the tears and dust from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, but the harder she tried, the more the dirt stuck to her face, making her look extremely shabby.

"Ugh."

Sophie sighed almost giving up on herself.

Are you really that useless, can't you even do this little thing well...

At this moment, she was like a wet sponge soaked in failure and doubt, and she was almost bursting with despair.

The lecture is over, everything is over.

Just as Sophie stood up and prepared to leave the classroom with heavy steps...

"!"

She looked at the podium inadvertently and opened her eyes wide.
