Chapter 157 – Neon Lights

He felt glad for how behind the facilities were at Loran Academy.

If the Loran Academy’s magic test also used a crystal ball like this, even if he purposely hid his magic, it would be sucked out. That way, Caesar would never be able to get number one and he would be raised as the next hero.

“Hey, Lin Xiao!” At that time, Woos patted Lin Xiao’s shoulder, and whispered, “Your maid will be fine, right?”

“Should be fine.” Lin Xiao scratched his head, then added a sentence, “She said it would be fine.”

Elena said herself that it would be fine, so he never questioned it and assumed it was something related to the Demon King’s skill.

“What do you mean by should? Lin Xiao, do you not know whether she has any magic power as her master?”

“Uh… sorry teacher Woos, but it’s complicated.” Lin Xiao could only answer like that.

As the Demon King, how would Lin Xiao know whether she has any magic power or not?

Ultimately, something as preposterous as getting the Demon King to undergo a magic test has never been done before, so only the Goddess can know the outcome.

Really, after a thousand years, this story will surely become a legend, Heino Kingdom’s Jennifer will become the first human in history that dared to get the Demon King to place her hand on the magic crystal to conduct a magic test.

Jennifer’s name will surely last throughout the ages.

“Lin Xiao, this isn’t a joke!” Woos clenched his shoulders nervously, “If any light appears after your maid touches the crystal, then they’ll surely claim we’re cheating!”

Actually, Woos’ worry wasn’t without reason.

During the actual combat drill before, he suspected that she was hiding her strength on more than once occasion, but he never had proof.

Was Elena a regular person or a powerful magician? The answer was finally being disclosed, so of course Woos was nervous.

Not just him, Caesar, Shen DaiYing and Rosie were just as nervous.

The results of her test were extremely important, not did it just decide whether she could participate, but all of Loran Academy! If she was ruled to be cheating, then Loran Academy would be done!

But they had no choice, although they were harbouring complaints on why Lin Xiao had to bring her along, now they could only hope that she could successfully pass the test.

“Do I just put my hand on?” Elena stood next to the crystal and asked.

“Yes.” Jennifer smiled, thinking that she was trying to delay it due to fear, and couldn’t help but say, “This crystal will change the magic power in one’s body into a colored mist, from high to low it will show: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. So if you were the first-level it would show purple!”

“Oh.” Elena nodded like she was thanking her for her explanation.

Quickly after, she placed her hands gently on the crystal.

At that instance, including Lin xiao, everyone held their breaths.

Was Elena just a regular maid?

What would the result be for the demon king’s magic test?

As her delicate white hands touched the transparent crystal, it suddenly made a wailing sound!

It was a strange sound like someone was crying!

This was the first time Jennifer seeing a crystal make a sound, she didn’t stop staring at Elena’s hands, afraid she would cheat.

“T-there’s a reaction!” Seeing the strange reaction inside the crystal, Woos’ voice began to tremble.

It’s said that the magic crystal will instantly display a color after sucking in magic power, and a beautiful mist will solidify after a couple of sucks. But now what was currently being shown left everyone flabbergasted.

“R-red!!??”

Jennifer stepped back seeing that fresh red within the crystal.

“Impossible, how could she be a ninth-level grand magician? What kind of joke is that? Does she accumulate magic through her breasts? The bigger it is, the more she has?” Jennifer stared enviously at Elena’s chest, her eyes almost bulging out.

She suspected it was a pair of fakes, hiding magic power.

But it didn’t stop there.

“What? Yellow? Why did it change to yellow?” In a blink of any eye, Woos noticed that the scarlet red turned into a bright yellow!

He thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes to check whether if he was or not.

But it wasn’t over yet!

Yellow, grass green, green, blue, purple… The colors within the crystal changed like colorful neon lights.

But it still wasn’t over…

Everything happened too quickly, from red that signified a ninth-level power, to the final purple that signified a first-level, all that only took a couple breath’s time.

They thought that purple was the end, but after that, something even more scary happened.

There should be no color after purple, but that light was still changing, and after that a chaotic black appeared!

“Black!!??” Woos was shocked that his beard flew up.

What the hell was black?

Lin Xiao was alarmed, and thought something happened. Worried that Elena might be hurt, he wanted to run over and pull her off, after noticing him, she just turned and coldly glanced at him.

I’m fine.

That’s the message that her eyes sent.

Just as he was at a loss, a sharp sound rang out.

Crack!

The crystal cracked, and exploded into a table full of shard right within her hands.

“Elena, what are you doing!” Lin Xiao flew over and scared Elena.

“I didn’t break it on purpose.” She shifted her gaze away, like a kid that did something wrong but didn’t want to admit it.

But the expected scolding didn’t come, just Lin Xiao’s pair of not so warm hands.

Under her shocked gaze, Lin Xiao grabbed her hand and nervously asked, “What happened? Did your hand get cut? Let me see!”

“I…” Elena opened her mouth to say something, but after seeing Lin Xiao act like that, she didn’t end up saying anything.

Something strange flashed by her thoughts, she wanted to pull her hand back, but her actions made Lin Xiao thought that he wanted to hide an injury, so he started inspecting more carefully.

“Stop messing around! If your hand gets injured, then you can’t cook and do laundry for me anymore. Elena, as my maid, you have to learn to cherish yourself!”

“Pervert…”

He still wanted her to work in this kind of situation, it seems like all that concern and love was nonsense, this bastard was beyond saving!

On one side, the master and servant were displaying affection, on the other, Woos was angry.

“Hey Jennifer! what’s going on? Why did the crystal explode? Did you tamper with it purposely and set us up?” Woos turned around and wanted to argue, but he couldn’t see her.

“Jennifer?”

Woos stopped, then lowered his head, and saw her sitting on the floor shocked.

When the crystal exploded, she received too big of a shock and kept retreating and ended up tripping, falling to her butt.

Jennifer was a seventh-level magician, and has seen a lot, but she’s never heard of a crystal exploded, or one that turns black

What level was black?

Can magic power even turn black!

Impossible, right!

“Tamper? I did no such thing! Woos, don’t slander me!”

Finally noticing her state, Jennifer quickly got up, patted away the dust on her body, and tidied her clothes.

“Slander?” Woos squinted and questioned, “Okay then then please explain why the crystal you provided exploded!”

“Because, because…” Jennifer panicked.

Although she disliked Woos, and hated Loran Academy, she never ever thought about setting them up! The crystal exploding had nothing to do with her, she definitely didn’t tamper with it.

Besides, that was the first time she saw something that strange, she was also baffled and couldn’t understand what was going on, how would she have the leisure to tamper with it.

Jennifer and Woos began arguing, who could have thought that a small magic test would turn out like so, suddenly a delicate voice came from outside the tent.

“Jennifer? What are you shouting for? How unsightly… don’t forget that I chose you as the head judge, don’t make me lose face.”

The voice arrived before the person.

Hearing that voice, Jennifer trembled and instantly shut up and stopped arguing.

Seeing her nervous appearance, everyone couldn’t help but turn around to look.

Judging by the voice, it was a female.

As expected, the one who lifted open the flap of the tent was a beautiful redhead girl.

Seeing her, Jennifer respectfully lowered her head.

“His royal highness!”

“Un.”

The other party nodded her head in response.

“Beautiful.”

That was Lin Xiao’s first response, but…

“Wait… his?”

Did he mishear?

The person that Jennifer called out to, the prince?

So that fellow isn’t a female, but a male?

Eh?
