Chapter Nine, The White Phoenix

Amidst the clamor of the hall, countless pairs of eyes focused on the clown who stood with arms crossed, observing coldly.

On the other side, Rufield had already stumbled off the stage amidst the uproarious laughter. Tyrus also began to laugh heartily, clearly unaware that the spell on this fool had not yet been lifted, and did not comprehend what Rufield's failure would signify

"Alright, Mr. Stewart," the examiner said, glancing at the mirror with a smile before turning to Osicris. "If Mr. Rufeild embarrasses himself again, Miss Osicris will surely feel sorry for him"

This is the effect of the exorcism spell

Amidst the attention of the multitude, Louis slowly ascended the stage, and amidst the laughter, he solemnly acknowledged each room in the audience with a hand on his chest and a nod of respect

A sudden sound erupted in Stuart's heart, causing his scalp to tingle.

He suddenly came before the mirror and began to pound on its surface fiercely: "The assessment is over! It is over! Damn it, make that guy stop!"

But perhaps, in the subconscious of Osikris, it was only natural to seek help from someone in her moment of despair—although she had not yet realized this issue

This fool even copied the incantation incorrectly

What is a bookworm that only knows how to read books

At this moment, the laughter in the hall had become intermittent, and even Helen had stopped crying, staring blankly at the mirror

His nightmare seed has been completely controlled

What is distressing is that today I wagered everything against this malevolent spirit, and in the end, I still lost

Cerebral closure technique

At this moment, there is a profound silence both on and off the stage. Only the incantation of the 'clown' on stage remains.

It is fundamentally impossible to win

Tyrese was cursed, but Osiklis did not blame him. However, she could not help but turn pale as a corpse

The laughter in the hall surged once again, and even the crystal ball secretly embraced by a certain minister emitted a delightful female laughter.

It was not until the beams of light began to flash continuously on the wand that the hall gradually became silent enough to hear a pin drop

He is going to practice this exorcism spell to level 2 today

The utterance of "Louis" caused the listeners in the hall to laugh even harder

She pressed her lips together and looked at Louis, her eyes already revealing a sense of despair: "Louis ... ... "

He had never found Louis to be so adorable

At this moment, the onlooker, Rufield, felt a sense of relief yet also a twinge of discomfort

This is a true wizard

A sealed nightmare ... ... such an opportunity is truly impossible to find even with a lantern

As soon as these words were spoken, Lufield's face turned ashen, and he cast a resentful and venomous glance at Terys. The people in the hall also recalled Lufield's earlier scene, and they couldn't help but laugh even more harshly.

What left Stuart in despair was that the crowd in the hall burst into a fit of laughter because of it

Clearly, no one can help Mr. Stewart, who is already in despair

Everything seems as if that person deliberately allowed the seeds to spread and grow in their heart, only to then close off their own mind

At that moment, Stuart suddenly thought of an extraordinary trick, which was not a spell, but a form of self-enclosing mental technique—brain enclosure technique

This is impossible

Then Stuart saw a burst of bright light, and within that light, an uncontrollable fear spread within him. He let out a heart-wrenching scream and, in his confusion, began to run wildly around in the mirror.

At this moment, Osiklis also had a pale complexion. She looked at Louis performing on stage, feeling waves of dizziness in her mind, nearly fainting—she actually believed Louis.

"He caught me?" Stuart exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes wide open. "He caught me?!"

It is over now, everything is over, Louis actually cheated in public! His academic career has come to an end.

Yet that person seems to be filled only with excitement and curiosity

There is fundamentally no one in this world who can save oneself. It is all merely one's own fantasy. One's own destiny is to go to the Dragon's Nest City and be in the company of dragons

A thousand pairs of eyes have already turned towards the clown on stage, mockingly referred to as 'Louis XVI'. As the sorceress 'Delphinia' stated, today's performance will be extraordinary

The last hope has been shattered

There are also the mournful and desperate wails and pleas of the evil spirit in the mirror

Mr. Stewart is truly formidable; even though the book is sealed, he still feels a sense of powerlessness when facing it.

Mr. Stewart. No one can help you anymore

But not long after, Stuart discovered that the person's heart suddenly resembled a pool of stagnant water, rendering him unable to discern any emotions or thoughts through his mind-reading abilities.

This scene caused both Osicris and Lufield to widen their eyes in astonishment, while the laughter in the hall grew louder. Many noblewomen who had come to watch the commotion were still wiping the tears of laughter from their eyes, thinking that this was yet another prank orchestrated by that Mr. Stewart from the mirror.

Let out a sigh of relief, although today everyone embarrassed themselves together, at least Louis was there to help cushion the blow

Well, excitement and curiosity are also acceptable; as long as there are intense emotional fluctuations within, it can allow the seeds to slowly germinate. Whether it is arrogance, greed, fear, extremity, anger, or sadness, all can be utilized

Helen is utterly incapable of dealing with that thing; she would embarrass herself in public, lose all face, and forfeit any future. She has already ruined herself and cannot further implicate her younger sister.

Unlike everyone else, Mr. Stewart in the mirror had an extraordinarily strange expression. He had just attempted to extend his shadow into that person's soul through the mirror, searching for that individual's fears in the art of mind reading, so that his 'nightmare seed' could thrive in that person's heart

What terrified Stuart even more was that the seed of nightmare he had previously sown was growing just right—neither exploding nor withering, yet capable of allowing that person to continuously grasp him through this seed, casting exorcism spells that left him with no escape

In that moment of despair, Osiklis surprisingly sought help from a mere talker, "Kong Yiji"? This scene is exceedingly dramatic

Stuart felt a bit flustered, trying to unleash his nightmare seed to disturb that person's mind, but he found that he could no longer control the nightmare seed!

Oshikuris closed her eyes, trembling all over—her student was the one being made a fool of on stage. The laughter from the audience felt like a public slap to her face, leaving her utterly humiliated. After today, she could no longer show her face at the academy.

He feels as if he is now a pitiful prisoner with his hands locked, trapped in a jail. At this moment, someone deceives him into coming to the bars, then grabs him by the collar and beats him mercilessly. Meanwhile, the examiner who was supposed to help him is just standing there, laughing foolishly

But not long after, Osyclis suddenly widened her eyes, realizing that the spell Louis was reciting was not the one she had given him at all

Just like the previous Lufield

As the incantation was recited once more, Osiklis and Lufield stared blankly at Louis, and then witnessed the brilliance of the magic shining forth once again from the wand in Louis's hand

Then, he gently cleared his throat, and amidst the despair of Osiklis, he pulled out a small piece of paper from his sleeve. Following that, he randomly waved his wand, and in the midst of everyone's raucous laughter, he recited a lengthy incantation from the paper, directed at the astonished Mr. Stewart in the mirror.

Suddenly, Stuart looked at the person in front of the mirror who was earnestly reciting from a small piece of paper, and he was drenched in cold sweat all over his body

It seems that it is about time. The examiner finally spoke.

"What a wonderful dance!" Tyrese laughed heartily, holding his stomach, "Louis, have you learned it? Go and dance with our Mr. Evil Spirit."

Only a few noblewomen who do not understand magic are still foolishly laughing

My goodness

The figure in the mirror gave a slight bow, casting a look that was both smiling and not at the pale-faced Osikris. Then, with greater interest, it turned its gaze towards Helen and Louis, awaiting the entrance of the last two lambs.

It was not until the strong light appeared for the second time that the academic professors rubbed their eyes vigorously—on the wand in that boy's hand, a white phoenix was shining.

When the brilliance of the white phoenix once again enveloped the mirror, the figure in the mirror, whose steps were about to come to a halt, began to run wildly once more. Just like Tyrese, who had just been running frantically offstage.

Everything is over; after today, the five of them will not have a good outcome

Stuart doubted whether this was a coincidence, but there was no time for him to think further. He quickly hid the nightmare seed to prevent that person from discovering it. Just then, he suddenly saw the wizard outside the mirror, who revealed a strange smile at him

Louis shook his slightly sore arms, glanced at the narration that read [ + 1 Exorcism Spell Mastery ], and continued to wave his wand, reciting the exorcism spell for the third time.
