I always feel that the difficulty setting of this exam is a bit problematic.

The three of them solved all the strange problems along the way.

For example, the stone ball that suddenly emerges, the trap that suddenly sinks, the deep pool that blocks the way... etc.

Finally, on the platform in the middle of an open stone house, they found an extremely small magic stone, probably the size of a fingernail of a little finger.

"Oh my God, so small..." Kris was shocked when he picked up the Philosopher's Stone.

"If this continues, we will not pass even if we find it all day."

Wien frowned, too.

In fact, although those magical mechanisms that have been set up are numerous, the overall difficulty is not too great.

With their speed of breaking the level along the way, they are definitely the best among all students.

"It's not right." He wondered.

"If this continues, this exam is not a test of our magical strength at all, but has become a pure delay of our time and prevent us from achieving our goals..."

Speaking of this, Vine's words stopped.

Perhaps...this is exactly the other party's purpose.

However, this purpose does not belong to the school teacher, but to the person who hides behind the scenes and makes trouble!

Instantly.

Only a loud "boom--" sound was heard, and the situation suddenly changed.

From the direction they came, a thick stone wall hit down, blocking their retreat.

Wien held Chris in his arms and summoned the magical earth thorn with his other hand, but he could not pierce the wall.

Tasia's face also changed, her flax-colored hair fluttered, golden dots of light circling around her, and a huge beam of light slammed towards the stone wall.

Just looking at the dazzling light from the side, you can feel your eyes as if they are about to be burned.

But it also made no achievements.

"A layer of magical energy is attached to it." Wien looked at the place where it fell.

Because the room is surrounded by stones, when they just passed by it, they were careless and did not find the stone wall above to move.

Tasia anxiously used the magic of light to test the surrounding stones to see if there was any mechanism to relieve it.

After a moment, she said disappointedly: "It doesn't seem to work."

In Vine's arms, Chris looked up and asked, "So, are we trapped here now?"

He felt her breath gently spraying under her Adam's apple, itchy.

"perhaps."

This stone room looks like a very standard secret room.

But unexpectedly, the air here is not dull.

Chris was not panicked, but took out a bag of things from the cross-body backpack with one hand.

"If you're hungry, you can eat this."

Wien looked down and saw that it turned out to be a bag of cookies.

"...You even brought this?"

Is this young lady going out to camp? Long towels, playing cards, food... will it help their exams with a dime?

However, now it may really come in handy.

"I won't eat it, you can keep it."

He led Chris to Tasia.

"There should be another exit here, otherwise there is no need to wait until we enter the room before touching the mechanism." He guessed.

"That person who was in secret seemed to want to lead us somewhere."

Tasia bit her lower lip and blamed herself: "I'm sorry, if it weren't for helping me, I wouldn't have caused you to be trapped here."

"No, it's very likely that that person's goal is not you."

Looking at Chris, Wien expressed his speculation. "The real goal should be Chris... or me."

"A few years ago, I had experienced a very strange case. The victim was a baron. He was controlled by a magic power of unknown origin and difficult to detect. It seemed a bit similar to what we encountered this time."

"My father told me that it was-"

"The Magic of Darkness."

His low voice echoed in the room.

Tasia's expression was shocked.

Chris's expression did not change much. It seemed that she, who also knew the plot, had already guessed that behind this was the trap set by Dalsey.

"Dark Magic... Someone told me that it is an extremely evil magic that can be learned through acquired knowledge." Tasia looked at her palm and said slowly: "Yes, the old enemy of the Magic of Light."

Light and darkness cannot coexist.

Moreover, due to the special relationship between the two attributes, the damage caused to the other party can be obtained by the additional bonus.

In the stone chamber, I fell into silence for a moment.

"It's okay, if that person doesn't show up, we'll just sit here all the time," said Chris.

"It should be no problem to stick to one day, I brought the food."

"If it can be proved that someone destroyed our exam, maybe we can force the school to give us all A, etc. as compensation for being frightened."

...It's you.

Wien didn't know if she should praise her smart little head for being very fast.

There was another hoarse voice behind him.

"Why...you just refuse to follow my design step by step?"

In the dark corner, a black mist emerged, loosely condensed into a erratic shape.

In the fog, a shadow similar to a human figure could be barely identified.

"Forget it if you sit at the door of the ruins before and don't move... Now you've been trapped and still want to sit there."

"Are you guys who can't walk without whipping?" His words were filled with resentment. "It seems that I have to take action..."

Wien carefully looked at the image of others being no one, no ghost, and then asked, "You have been following us all the time? So it's not that there are very few magic stones placed in the school, but were you taken away in advance?"

The figure did not answer, but the dark mist rolled a little more violently.

Hearing Vine's inquiry, Chris beside him couldn't help but show sympathy.

"It's so pitiful... I'm running around to prevent us from discovering it, but in the end I had to show my true body. I must be very tired, right?"

Stimulated by her extremely real words, the figure in the fog was furious.

"Miss Chris, your death is here today!"

As his words fell, a large amount of black mist rushed towards their direction.

Tasia took a step forward, and a huge light curtain blocked the three of them.

It was as if the ice and snow melted, and the black mist dissolved all the time it came into contact with the light.

"The Magic of Light..." The figure's hoarse voice was full of fear and hatred, "Damn the Magic of Light!"

"Although I don't know why the teachers in charge of the supervision did not notice the abnormality, they will definitely send a large number of personnel to look for us after the exam time is over."

Wien pretended to be puzzled and asked naively, "Will you, a mouse in the shadow, run away quickly?"

Then, he dragged the ending sound.
