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

Sophie opened her eyes wide, her emerald green pupils reflected the starry sky, and a wave of inspiration poured into her mind along her spine.

She hurried back to the laboratory, full of energy and bursting with magic.

"Oh I see!"

Inspired by the stars in the night sky.

I have been misled by the title. This magic does not have a magic core in the traditional sense. The focus is on the surrounding elements.

They are the real core that is constantly entangled, the fundamental reason for the formation of this magic!

"Oooo!"

Sophie's magic power resonated with the test paper, and green wind mixed with elemental particles blew up.

"Unlocked?"

The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are gathered together to form a star suspended in mid-air.

This purest beauty, which was the result of her own efforts, could not help but make Sophie burst into tears.

"Wow……"

Sophie felt the warmth of the light and enjoyed the afterglow for a moment.

It took about 10 minutes before she regained consciousness.

"Blow~"

Sophie woke up, wiped the tears from her eyes, and turned to the next page.

"..."

However, the moment I saw the eighth question.

The complex formulas and preconditions that almost filled the page made her almost faint.

"Vickle, you!"

Chapter 83 The 8th question no one mentioned

When the time came to Thursday, seven days had passed since the exam, and the wizards began to give up one after another and walked out of the examination room.

Because they know that no matter how much they spend, nothing will change.

Those at the bottom only solved questions 1-4, while most people stayed at question 5.

Only a small number of people solved question 6, and even fewer people solved question 7, less than 150 out of 5 people.

Question 8 was not mentioned at all.

But despite this, for them, passing this exam is a medal in itself. Only 150 of the nearly [-] C-level wizards in the academy have this qualification.

Almost everyone in the college is talking about this.

……

Then it was noon on Saturday, and all other exams in the college were basically over.

Only the examination room on the 30th floor of the Mage Tower is still going on...

Olivia racked her brains on question 8 and even forgot the passage of time for a while.

With unkempt hair and bloodshot eyes, she looked completely different from usual.

Olivia spent nearly 5 days on question [-].

She has portrayed more than seven magic cores alone.

The eighth question involves a lot of magic, each of which is very complex and intricately related to each other. She can only write the core of each magic on the test paper first.

It took 5 days to solve the seven cores, I don’t know

How many more are there...

"...!"

Just as Olivia was carving the seventh core, her head and eyes suddenly hurt, and her nosebleeds flowed out unprecedentedly.

Olivia hurriedly walked out of the laboratory, looking at the blood falling on the corridor and herself reflected in the window of the mage tower, she couldn't help but pause...

A haggard face with dull eyes.

If you continue like this, you may die...

Take a break.

Olivia used the cleaning technique to clean herself up briefly, and then walked to the elevator.

Kitty, who has been here for nearly ten days, is dozing off.

"that."

"Huh? Oh, Olivia, are you going out?"

"Yes."

"Okay, it's already registered."

Olivia then took the elevator and left the Mage Tower.

Fortunately, the surroundings are very peaceful and there are no longer as many people as there were a few days ago.

Along the path, she walked into a nearby park and sat down on a bench.

The innocent and ignorant butterfly stopped beside her, but soon left without any interest.

"..."

There was a garden in front of her. It was very ordinary, far less gorgeous than her own home.

But no matter where they grow, flowers cannot do without sunlight and soil to provide nutrients.

Just like question 8, although the compositions are different, they always lead to the same goal...

The wind began to pick up, and Olivia's blond hair was blowing in the breeze.

The birch leaves in the garden trembled rustlingly in the wind, and the broken leaves with full enamel refracted the sunlight to make waves.

Facing the sunshine, Olivia felt a sense of warmth...

Very comfortable.

"..."

In a daze, she closed her eyes.

However, when I opened my eyes again, the position of the sun had changed...

Olivia carefully considered the confusing sight, but quickly jumped to her feet.

she fell asleep? !

"...!"

Olivia hurried back to the mage tower and glanced at the watch on her wrist.

4 pm.

There are only 32 hours left until midnight on Sunday.

Olivia sat on the chair again, mobilized her magic power and started working on the eighth question again.

Tens of thousands of magics are tightly meshed like gears, leaving people unable to figure out the clue.

"Tick, tick."

As time passed by, Olivia's magic power continued to be consumed and attached to the test paper.

This series of problems is being dismantled step by step by her and analyzed one by one.

Olivia had no idea what the combination of these magic cores would look like, but she didn't dare to think about it.

All she can do now is concentrate on carving the magic core on the test paper.

at last……

"No. 11!"

There were eleven hidden magical cores in the eighth question, and she cracked them all.

Olivia placed the papers on the floor and carefully observed their order and structure.

very perfect!

She cheered herself up in her heart.

Olivia took a deep breath, she only had one chance, but she was confident that she could do it!

Looking at the result of 150 hours of hard work, she slowly injected her own magic.

"Buzz!"

The magic on the test paper resonated with her soul.

The heart was beating fast.

In an instant, [-]% of her remaining magic power was drained away...

The laboratory has changed.

"..."

The magic was successfully activated, and the colorful colors extended along the walls until they enveloped the entire laboratory, replaced by an unknown scenery somewhere.

In an instant, this space was separated from the world.

……

Looking around, you can see cypress trees and wheat fields everywhere.

The breeze blew, and waves of wheat spread in the fields stretching to the distant horizon.

The aroma of earth floats in the air from time to time in the vegetable garden, the windmill is swaying, and the sunflowers are beautiful everywhere.

While the glow left its nostalgia to the sky, it also took away Olivia's heart...

This is Vickrey's gift to everyone who solves this problem.

In Olivia's view, this is a shining magic, a colorful oil painting.

Trembling art.

It was simply...magic created just for her.

"Olivia."

From nowhere, a voice came like the wind.

Olivia opened her eyes wide. In this dreamy world, Vickery didn't know when she stood in the center...

As usual, wearing a neat suit, so perfect that one wonders if it is magic.

He looked at Olivia calmly and said.

"Congratulations, you are the first person among 150 people to solve this problem."

The scene before him was based on the barrier magic created by famous paintings in his previous life.

Starry night, cypress trees and wheat fields, sunflowers, vegetable gardens under Montmartre...

The original artists of these paintings were all people struggling with endless pain and sorrow.

Ununderstood and recognized by the world, they bloomed the most primitive beauty in madness and death.

One of them is a painter named Van Gogh. The paintings he left behind in his life are burning with the most passionate emotions and are extremely charming.

"..."

Olivia closed her eyes gently and opened them again. The field was still there.

All scenes are made of magic and the colors are filled with elements.

Standing in the center of this extremely real oil painting world, she felt her soul trembling...

"Thank you."

Suddenly, Vickery said something puzzling.
