    ◈ Episode 141 2nd test (3)

    Line is now in a very embarrassing situation.

    This is because while heading to the classroom to prepare for the next test I ran into a familiar person at the entrance of the classroom.

    On one side is Flora Lumos a cold-looking beauty with sharp eyes.

    On the other side is Cheryl Wagner the complete opposite of Flora who seems to have no worries about anything in the world.

    They were one year older than her and also took teacher Ludger’s class together.

    Normally I wouldn’t have paid any attention to this and just moved on but Line couldn’t do that.

    If there was a reason it was Flora.

    ‘Uh… did I do something wrong?’

    Flora Lumos who normally has no contact with her is glaring at me with a hostile gaze for some reason.

    Why did her feelings which had previously been treated with indifference change?

    Line wondered if he had done something rude to her.

    Line who is sensitive to the hostility of others had never felt any trace of emotion from Flora before.

    The current situation is truly unexpected for Rine.

    ‘It’s not complete hostility but it seems like there’s something about this side that makes me uncomfortable.’

    It was difficult for Line to guess the reason. Could it be because of the second test a little while ago? Because you got the same A+?

    It was a very likely guess. Actually nothing else came to mind other than this.

    ‘What should I do?’

    Line was worried.

    Flora Lumos who was looking at me with half-hearted eyes seemed more demanding than any person she had ever clashed with.

    It doesn’t feel like they’re completely hostile towards this side but they’re making it clear that they don’t like them.

    If I open my mouth hastily here I might offend her greatly.

    When Rine was contemplating whether to do this or that Erendir who was next to her came forward.

    “Do you have any business for us? Lady Lumos?”

    “….”

    Flora’s gaze turned to Erendir.

    The sharp gaze of Linne became a little softer to Erendir.

    To be precise it is a complex emotion filled with frustration and pity.

    Flora sympathized with Erendir who was with Line.

    ‘3rd princess. After living in her older sister’s shadow all her life she finally became friends with someone like that.’

    But I didn’t think about saying it out loud.

    Not only that but Flora herself was not in a position to sympathize with the third princess.

    “That Flora?”

    Cheryl who was watching next to her cautiously called out to her.

    Flora did not respond and entered the classroom through the open door.

    “Ah haha. sorry. “I think Flora is in a bit of a low mood today.”

    Cheryl smiled awkwardly apologized to Erendir and Rine and immediately followed Flora into the classroom as if running away.

    Erendir glared at the backs of the two with a disapproving gaze.

    “What the hell? Doesn’t the road suddenly become blocked? “I asked him but he just left without answering.”

    “Sure.”

    As Rine she could only smile awkwardly and agree with Erendir’s words.

    Cheryl who followed Flora who was sitting in an empty seat in the classroom asked her as if interrogating her.

    “Flora. Why on earth is that like that? “It’s not like you.”

    “What’s not like me?”

    “You usually don’t even pay attention to other students. “Are you that worried about that kid named Line?”

    “….”

    Even if it is not said here Cheryl will persistently hold on to this part.

    Having known Cheryl since childhood Flora knew her personality better than anyone else.

    In this case there was a way.

    “More than that Cheryl have you prepared properly for this test?”

    “Huh?”

    Cheryl’s face becomes perplexed at the sudden question.

    She loved having fun and mostly picked up gossip but to be honest she had a personality that was very far from studying.

    It’s not like I was just throwing away tuition but it was an undeniable fact that my words and actions were lighter than other students.

    “Do you know that this exam person is Ms. Marie Ross?”

    “Why is that story coming out all of a sudden?”

    Marie Ross Seorn’s longest-serving teacher was popular thanks to her gentle personality and gentleness that cared for her students.

    What I teach is the <Curse and Harm> series of pharmaceutical sciences.

    However it is not just about teaching pharmacy. Even various fields related to pharmacy were within the scope of her classes.

    Teacher Marie Ross was so gentle with her students that she gave them at least a C+ no matter how bad they were on tests.

    Therefore Teacher Marie’s lectures were famous for their honey classes so competition among students was very fierce.

    Because it was one of the few classes where you could get stable grades.

    “just. “Didn’t Teacher Mari say that if you don’t take the test seriously this year she will force you to transfer to another class instead of giving you a lower score?”

    There were also students who took advantage of Marie Ross’s kindness and deliberately took exams roughly to get grades.

    So Marie Ross took special measures in that regard.

    It was decided to forcibly transfer students who did not take the exam seriously to classes with other teachers.

    Although it would be impossible for a teacher to change a given lecture at will it was quite possible for Seorn’s oldest teacher Marie Ross.

    “Are you sure you’ll be okay?”

    “ah.”

    Cheryl broke into a cold sweat at Flora’s point.

    “What should I do? Flora.”

    “What can I do? “Why are you asking me that?”

    “Flora~. please help me huh? please.”

    “ah. Stay away. “What are you doing in such a disgusting way?”

    “But Flora if I keep going like this I won’t be able to get proper grades. huh? We’re friends. Please give me just one chance~.”

    In the end Cheryl’s only option was to beg Flora.

    Flora decided that this was enough to distract her childhood friend and handed her the notebook she had brought with her.

    “Now take it. “I’ve summarized only the key points so you can avoid failing even if you just cram in what you need to remember right away.”

    “thank you! “I love you Flora!”

    Flora who was looking at Cheryl who immediately started cramming noticed Liné sitting on one side of the classroom.

    Although she is a commoner and has unusual hair color her face is definitely pretty.

    Perhaps if that child had been a nobleman he would have received a lot of attention from other students.

    Just then Liné seemed to have felt her gaze and turned to look at Flora.

    The two people’s eyes met in midair.

    Flora immediately turned her head. It was because I felt ashamed of myself for picking a fight with that child.

    ‘It’s done. ‘What kind of commoner am I worrying about?’

    Flora who was resting her elbows on the desk and resting her chin on her arms suddenly muttered to herself.

    “What food is good for people who are unwell?”

    “huh? Flora. “Are you feeling unwell?”

    Cheryl who had her nose buried in her notebook suddenly raised her head.

    Flora responded angrily seeing her friend’s extraordinary ability to focus on cramming and yet pick up these words like a ghost.

    “I’m just curious. “Is there any medication you can recommend?”

    “Hmm~.”

    Cheryl glanced at Flora.

    Suspicious. Very suspicious. Flora Lumos who doesn’t care about others is thinking about what’s good for her body?

    However it would be considerate of a friend to overlook this without having to point it out.

    “There won’t be anything right? If you listen to the talk in social circles these days you’ll hear that there are a lot of medications that aristocrats in their 40s and 50s take. “Are you saying it’s a powder made by grinding dried mandragora?”

    Mandragora considered a grade A ingredient in pharmacy was so rare that it was difficult to obtain for a reasonable amount of money.

    The reason why Cheryl deliberately brought up ridiculous material was almost half a joke.

    “After all Mandragora is the best….”

    “Huh?”

    Sheryl who thought it was just a thoughtless question but didn’t expect such a serious answer couldn’t hide her embarrassment.

    But soon Cheryl smiled like a mischievous cat.

    “Hmph. Is there anyone in the world that cares about that Flora? who is this? “That person?”

    “What?! “It’s not like that!”

    Flora’s pure white skin turned red.

    Cheryl’s suspicions were confirmed by her unusually strong reaction.

    “Nope~. How long have I known you? My eyes can’t fool me! “This definitely stinks.”

    “Why don’t you be quiet? “There are less than 5 minutes left until the test. Are you okay?”

    “oh!”

    Sheryl who belatedly realized her situation urgently looked at her notes.

    Cheryl who was in tears asked Flora for help with a pitiful look.

    “P Flora. “What was the scope of this test?”

    “From making beginner recovery potions to precautions for transferring magical power.”

    “Hey. “There are too many.”

    “You should have done that consistently.”

    “Flora studied similarly to me so why only me!”

    “…Do you get angry when I tell you it’s because I’m a genius? “Do you think I don’t know that you always go out and play instead of studying every holiday?”

    “Hey!”

    As if giving a final sentence to Cheryl who was making loud noises the door to the classroom opened and the test taker Marie Ross came in.

    Teacher Marie had the same gentle grace as usual but she also had a charismatic smile that was hard to resist.

    “Did you all prepare well for the exam?”

    Cheryl’s complexion turned white.

    * * *

    Teacher Marie Ross’ exam is over.

    The teaching assistants came forward and took away the test papers and the students stretched out in joy that today’s test was finally over.

    Cheryl who had burned everything was the only one left with her head on the desk seemingly dead.

    “Ugh. “I somehow managed to solve it all.”

    It wasn’t dead but the voice was half dead.

    “Hoho. “Everyone had a hard time taking the exam.”

    As Marie Ross spoke in a gentle voice the students relaxed and focused on what she said one by one.

    Even after the test was over no students left.

    “Cheryl. wake up. It’s tip time.”

    “Oh that’s right!”

    Cheryl who had become one with the desk suddenly raised her head straightened her back and went into listening mode.

    Normally students would rush out of the classroom immediately after the exam but that wasn’t the case today.

    There is only one reason to remain in the classroom and look expectantly at teacher Marie Ross.

    It was a special time that could only be heard in Marie Ross’ class.

    There is a story that is famous among students in Seorn.

    Teacher Marie Ross tells students in her class that they had a hard time taking exams and tells them stories that she didn’t say in class.

    This is the ‘tip time’ that Flora hinted at to Cheryl. This tip time is not only fun but it is also very useful so its popularity among students has skyrocketed.

    It was not just a tip but information that could become a syndrome in the magic world so it was enough to make students roll their eyes.

    “You all know because you took the test today but I have some additional information to add regarding the precautions for transmitting magical power.”

    The students listened closely.

    Some people had even finished preparing their notes.

    “Transferring magical power is basically something that happens between wizards and wizards. “It can spread into a very serious danger if the transmitter is unskilled in controlling magical power.”

    These days mana recovery potions are used but when this is not possible it is not uncommon to deliver magical power as emergency treatment to patients with depleted mana.

    Realistically you can save money on medicine by taking the hassle and taking a little risk.

    “But you know what? “If this kind of magic power is transmitted or if the magic power collides and mixes with each other a mysterious phenomenon occurs.”

    “teacher. “What is that mysterious phenomenon?”

    “You can read memories.”

    By sharing magic power you can read memories?

    Unlike the confused students some who had some knowledge about this matter responded that they had heard of it somewhere.

    “This is called memory storming and it is a phenomenon that is actually listed in the Magic Tower paper.”

    “Oh no way. “Isn’t that a lie?”

    “Probably not. “I think I’ve heard of that before.”

    Marie Ross smiled gently as if she found the students’ noisy reactions cute.

    “Do you know? Mana has memory. It is said that mana contains many things we do not know. In particular the mana inherent in a wizard’s body contains more memories the longer it is attached to the wizard.”

    “teacher. How does mana have memories?”

    Marie Ross shook her head in response to the student’s question.

    “Unfortunately that hasn’t been revealed yet. “Because there is not enough research and the paper was published not long ago.”

    “What is it?”

    “Mana is still an unknown power and it is the role of us wizards to explore it. However a recent study from New Magic Tower came out and said that although the cause of this memory storming phenomenon is unknown it can be used.”

    Although it was said lightly in passing it did not carry any weight.

    Magic Tower. How could he so simply mention the research results from the new magic tower that split from the old magic tower?

    This is why Marie Ross’ tip time was famous among students.

    ‘As expected Teacher Marie is the one who has worked the longest in Seorn.’

    ‘Among the students you taught there are probably a lot of them from the New Magic Tower?’

    ‘Even after graduation you still keep in touch with your students.’

    The students were very excited about the new news that was not yet known.

    “In fact there is a Talisman that can implement this memory storming phenomenon even to a small extent. “My former student sent it to me as a gift saying it was a success.”

    Marie Ross took out several sheets of white paper that looked like amulets.

    That thing with geometric patterns drawn on it must be the Talisman a medium that can cause memory storming.

    “It’s a prototype so the effect isn’t that great so there’s no risk. Does anyone want to try it?”

    Are you saying that if I use that talisman I can read the memories contained in magical energy?

    When the students were puzzled by that Flora Lumos was the only one whose eyes lit up.

    ‘Can I use that… on other people?’

    Her brilliant mind was already thinking of another way.
