It was almost dusk, the sun was setting, and the selection test was nearing its end.

At this moment, Lin Xiao, who had already finished the test, did not leave, he was still observing the other students taking the test on the playground, while chatting in a low voice with the silver-haired maid beside him, conducting inexplicable experiments, unaware of the impending danger.

"Airea, your perception is too strong, isn't it? Say, what level is that idiot?"

"Second level beginner ...... But why are you calling someone an idiot? Obviously you're also a lowly human."

"Well ...... that ...... idiot is not as simple as the literal meaning, in the course of human socialization, it often represents a term of endearment!"

"A term of endearment? So, do you like being called an idiot?"

"Tsk, you really know how to say that. ...... Where's all this nonsense about a maid? What should you call me?"

"...... Master."

"Well, that's good."

From a distance, Fu could not hear their conversation, but he guessed that Lin Xiao must be discussing the "experiment" again. His intuition told him that the black-haired boy must be hiding some secret, and the maid named Airea was not simple either, but he had no time to eavesdrop now, because the lady's plan had already begun!

Rojay intended to use the quiz as a cover to pretend to attack the puppet, and then deliberately miss, so as to sneak up on Lin Xiao who was standing stupidly behind the puppet!

Lin Xiao, who was still chatting with the maid, definitely couldn't avoid Rojay's sneak attack!

"Teacher, I'm starting!"

"Good, be careful, don't hit it crooked."

"Don't worry!" Rojay nodded her head in agreement.

Teacher Woods had evaluated her as having a medium to high affinity for magic and a strong manipulation of magic. This evaluation was quite pertinent, and Rojay had well inherited the pinch pennies characteristics of the Childers, and was able to control every bit of magic in a meticulous manner.

Due to the level restriction, she could not release powerful spells, but she also had a workaround -

"Fireball spell!"

Magic chanting, completed.

She raised her right hand, and a fiery red hexagram took shape in front of her palm.

Circuit formation, complete.

A huge fireball appeared in front of her, bigger than the one released by Cesar and Lin Xiao just now!

"Wow!"

"Look, a fireball that big!"

As a rule, Rojay's magic power level was only at the high second level, so she couldn't release such a huge fireball spell at all, but she played a careful trick.

The shape of the fireball looked big and intimidating, but it was actually very weak in power. With her meticulous control of magic power, she secretly adjusted the circuit composition, making the external flame of the fireball burn more vigorously, increasing the visual effect while correspondingly reducing the destructive power.

Although Rojay is capricious, but the excellent Childers family will not produce idiots - even if this fireball hit Lin Xiao solidly, it will definitely not cause danger to life, at most it will burn Lin Xiao's clothes, so that he can experience the "pleasure" of burning body to be naked.

Rojay still has a sense of proportion. She just wanted to teach Lin Xiao a lesson, did not want to cause a human life.

"Go on!"

The fireball came out of her hand, but the direction, however, was a bit wrong, it seemed to have some deviation.

"Oh no!" Teacher Woods cried out in dismay.

The huge fireball did not hit the puppet, but brushed against it and continued to fly out, seemingly deviating from its original trajectory, in fact, that was all the result of Rojay's deliberate action.

The real target of the fireball was the black-haired teenager directly in front of him!

"Don't worry Lin Xiao, if you really get hurt, I'll pay for your medical expenses ......"

Looking at the fireball getting closer and closer to Lin Xiao, Rojay focused all of her attention and used her spiritual power to control the forward trajectory of the fireball.

This sneak attack, absolutely cannot fail!

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao, who was still immersed in the experiment, suddenly noticed that Airea had an odd expression, and inexplicably took two steps back, distancing herself from her.

In that instant, Lin Xiao seemed to understand something. Airea has a strong sense of perception, the reason why she suddenly retreated, must be because -

instinctive reaction to the crisis drove Lin Xiao quickly turn, but when his eyes fell on the large fireball that had flown in front of his eyes, everything is already too late.

The fireball is too big, the flight speed is too fast, and the distance is too close, Lin Xiao is not the battle skill department of those muscle men, can fly on the wall or break the boulder, hiding is absolutely delusional.

So, using magic to blast, before the arrival of the fireball and detonate it? The idea is good, but the release of magic requires two necessary conditions, "magic chanting" and "circuit composition", both of which require time to prepare, the lightning flash of time, simply too late!

Although Lin Xiao recognized Rojay's little trick right away -- Missy did not intend to kill him, the big fireball that looked so scary was actually not powerful, but Lin Xiao still did not want to be burned by the fireball and then have a youthful naked run in the middle of the playground.

--That's just too humiliating

At the end of the day, Lin Xiao let out a helpless sigh.

"Alas, I can only use that trick ......"

Baa!

A crisp and faint ringing sound came, and no second person present heard it, except for Airea.

That, it seemed to be a snapping finger ...... But why was there a snapping finger sound? Airea did not know, but in the next instant, she stared in disbelief with large ruby-like eyes.

From an imperceptible angle, a small fist-sized fireball instantly shot out and scurried just right into the large fireball that Roger threw out!

There was a boom!

All the students were dumbfounded at this moment.

"It's done?" Rojay was overjoyed.

With an accurate hit, the fireball exploded in response to the sound, and a black mist enveloped Lin Xiao and Airea both.

"Lin Xiao!" Teacher Woods shouted worriedly as well.

Everyone thought Lin Xiao had been hit! But in reality ......

As a breeze swept by, the smoke gradually dispersed and the figures of the two victims finally became clear.

"What?" Rojay looked at Lin Xiao who fell to the ground in disbelief.

Airea still stood in place with no expression, and Lin Xiao maintained a distance of two steps, except for some discomfort from inhaling the black smoke throat, nothing happened to her.

As for Lin Xiao ...... in Rojay's opinion, the fireball did hit him, and he did fall, but he was actually unharmed! The clothes on his body were also not burned at all!

How is this possible?

"Well ...... Airea quickly help me up."

"Yes, master."

Lin Xiao very pompous open big mouth to express surprise, and then extend an arm to Airea. Airea full of resentment, can only be reluctant, reluctant to pull his arm, laboriously dragged him up.

After flicking the dust on his body, Lin Xiao played his acting skills and shouted at Rojay with a lot of resentment.

"Hey, Missy, you want to kill someone!?"

"I, I ...... am not ...... right! Why are you okay ah? Just now clearly ......"

"Ha?" The gray-headed Lin Xiao ran over and pointed at Rojay's nose and cursed loudly, "You even have a regretful expression, is it better for me to be blown up by you!"

"No, no, no! I, I I I ...... I ...... well ......"

When has Rojay ever been treated like this? When she was accused by Lin Xiao in front of her classmates, her whole body died on the spot, and she couldn't even say a word in defense.

What had just happened? The fireball spell clearly hit, but why was Lin Xiao still fine?

What a shame to be in this failure! Rojay suddenly felt like an idiot, her nose was sore and a warmth welled up in her eyes. ,

"Lin Xiao! How are you? Are you hurt?" Teacher Woods hurried over and looked Lin Xiao's body up and down to make sure he wasn't hurt before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"Teacher, I'm fine." Lin Xiao shook his head, "What bad luck. Luckily, she was a half-wit and her fireball spell spontaneously exploded out of control in the middle, otherwise I would have been miserable!"

"Runaway spontaneous detonation?"

Rojay took a few deep breaths to hold back the indisputable tears.

--Magician forcibly cast powerful magic in the case of insufficient magic power level, it will impose a serious burden on their own mental power, and the magic that comes out of their hands can easily lose control, spontaneous explosion in the middle is a very common situation, Rojay also knows this very well.

Lin Xiao said that the reason why he was not hurt was because the fireball spell spontaneously exploded out of control - but, Rojay can be 100% sure that she definitely did not lose control of the fireball! The claim of uncontrolled spontaneous detonation was simply not true.

What the hell is going on?

"Rojay, you ......" Teacher Woods was about to reprimand Rojay, but was stopped by Lin Xiao.

"Forget it teacher, it was just an accident, and I wasn't hurt, so don't blame her." Lin Xiao unexpectedly spoke up for Rojay, and even smiled reluctantly, turning to Rojay, "Alas, you didn't do it on purpose anyway, it's useless for me to complain about you, right?"

"Eh? I'm ...... sorry, I, I didn't mean to ......" Rojay was a little confused and whispered an apology driven by instinct.

"Well, I forgive you. The quiz is over, so I should go home and rest." Lin Xiao had an expression that this was not a place to stay for long, and hurriedly greeted Airea to leave.

Airea looked at Rojay, who was so aggrieved that she was on the verge of tears, and then at Lin Xiao, who was pretending to be a good person, as if she wanted to say something.

The crisp and faint sound of snapping fingers just now made her extremely concerned. There was no "magic chanting", no "circuit composition", nothing, that insignificant little fireball seemed to appear out of nowhere-

Lin Xiao was definitely acting again! He must be the one who made it happen, Rojay's fireball never blew itself up because it was out of control!

Airea just wanted to expose Lin Xiao's disguise! But soon, she suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago, could not help but shiver, and swallowed the words that were about to be said back into her stomach.

No, I can't talk more! ...... she thought with a palpitating heart.

If she does, that pervert Lin Xiao will have an excuse to bully her again!

In order to avoid the difficulty of assaulting her breasts, Airea had to say nothing, silently followed Lin Xiao and walked away.

Lin Xiao slipped away quickly, and the students finally recovered from the accident just now, and they gathered around the Rojay whispering irresponsible gossip.

"What the hell is going on, the spell got out of control and spontaneously exploded midway? So close!"

"Hey, guess if it could be that Rojay deliberately threw a crooked fireball to teach Lin Xiao a lesson?"

"No way? Lin Xiao will have a duel with Cesar in a while, in case he is injured now, won't the duel be a sure loss?"

"That ...... Rojay she wouldn't do such thing to purposely injure Lin Xiao for helping Cesar win the duel, right?"

"What? So despicable, actually using such tactics! It's disgusting ......"

"Get out of my way, all of you!" Fu squeezed through the students who were in the way and dashed to Rojay's side, asking worriedly, "Miss, are you, are you all right?"

"I'm fine ......" Rojay pushed Fu away and asked in a daze, "Nah, did you see that just now?"

"Saw what?"

"My fireball, did it really blow itself up because it got out of control?"

"Ugh ...... Miss, don't say anything, let's get out of here!"

Hearing the vicious words of the surrounding students, Fu couldn't care less about the others and hurriedly escorted Rojay to flee the playground.

As for why that fireball exploded halfway -

probably should have lost control of the fireball because the young lady was too nervous.

Now, Fu can only come to this conclusion.
