A group of people crept into the building and climbed up to the second floor.
The smell of burning wood still lingered in the corridor, and scattered books and papers could be seen everywhere, probably left by the students who fled in panic.
Following the smell of burning wood, they soon found the scene of the accident, a classroom near the end of the corridor.
Walking into the room, Lily noticed that one corner of the room had become pitch-black, and the entire wall was cracked, and the cracks extended to the floor. The fire area was not large, and the range of the fire was obvious. The blackened wood spread like ripples from deep to shallow, which did not seem to be caused by natural arson at all.
However, what she was most concerned about were the cracks.
They were almost as if they had been cut by an ax, and the gaps had been completely carbonized. When she put her fingers into them, she could still feel a faint residual heat.
"It should be here." Mystery Moon walked around the corner and said, "Summer, I'll leave the rest to you."
"Well... if someone comes, remember to interrupt me." Summer walked to the center of the classroom and displayed her backtracking ability.
Since the time of the explosion was determined, and it had happened less than a day ago, she quickly found the key point before the accident. As magic power gushed out, the damaged wall became as good as before, and the crooked chairs were restored to their original positions. Many students appeared in the empty classroom. Some of them were sleeping on their desks, and some gathered together to chat. There was no teacher on the podium, so it should be the lunch break.
Seeing this scene for the first time, Maggie and Vanilla could not help but exclaim. Then, as if afraid of disturbing Summer, they hurriedly covered their mouths. Especially when they saw a "student" walk towards them as if nothing had happened, but pass through their bodies like a ghost, the two of them stepped back in panic and almost fell to the ground.
"Don't worry, these are just illusions," Evelyn explained enthusiastically. "Summer can backtrack time and make things that have already happened reappear."
"This... is really an amazing ability!" It was also the first time for Amy to see this, but she did not show the slightest fear. Instead, she said with admiration.
"Haha... it's not that amazing." Summer touched her head with some embarrassment. "Compared to Sister Nightingale, my ability is nothing."
"Nightingale? Are you talking about the golden-haired big sister who is always by His Majesty's side and rarely shows herself? "
"Yes, she's the most powerful witch in the entire Western Region, maybe even in the entire kingdom!"
"Impressive!" Ai Mi's eyes sparkled.
"Wait," Mystery Moon suddenly interrupted them. "Look!"
Lily frowned. "This is …"
"Bullying?" Evelynn said softly.
Five to six teenagers surrounded two girls in a corner, arguing fiercely about something. The two girls who were surrounded had completely different reactions. One of them stood in front of the crowd with her arms outstretched, shouting loudly without flinching, while the other hugged her head and hid behind the former, looking quite frightened.
Since the elementary class did not have a uniform enrollment age, the oldest of the group looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old. He was taller than the two girls combined, and his posture was overwhelming. However, the stubborn short-haired girl was not intimidated by the large number of people. Even though she was alone, she was not at a disadvantage at all.
From the movement of their lips, it could be inferred that the content of the dispute was related to their birthplace... such as telling them to go back to the Eastern Region and become the traitor king's lackeys.
Soon, the dispute turned into a shoving. The tall boy took the lead and tried to push the girl to the ground. Unexpectedly, as soon as he grabbed her shoulder, he was kicked in the knee, and his whole body suddenly tilted.
The scene became chaotic for a while.
Like a slippery loach, the girl slipped out of the encirclement and kicked a fat boy to the ground, attracting everyone's attention.
No one cared about the poor girl who was sobbing with her head in her hands anymore. The crowd swarmed toward the short-haired girl, while the latter wandered in the back half of the classroom, using other students as cover. Her movements were as flexible as a cat's. Due to her inferior height, every time she kicked the opponent's knee or ankle, she could make the opponent kneel on the ground with one blow, unable to get up for a long time.
"This kid is so strong!" Mystery Moon said in astonishment.
"Come on, beat them to the ground!" Amy could not help but clench her fists, as if she was there in person.
"But... she's too weak," Vanilla said worriedly. "And if she only attacks one part, it's easy for her opponent to guard against it. It's not good for her to fight."
"Hey, how do you know that?" Mystery Moon looked at her in surprise.
"I, I'm sorry, I just used to..."
"The church has taught you this, right?" Evelyn comforted her. "It's okay. Since you can pass His Majesty's inspection, it means that you're not the same kind of people as those vicious pure witches."
Lily frowned and did not say a word. She also agreed with Vanilla's opinion. Although the students who were kicked to the ground looked very embarrassed, they could still get up with a limp after recovering and continue to encircle the short-haired girl. Moreover, this time they were much more cautious in protecting their legs, so it was not so easy for the opponent to succeed.
Suddenly, the tall man grabbed a chair and swung it down from behind her while her attention was distracted by the other two.
"Watch out!" Amy yelled.
But the illusion only recorded what had happened, so her warning could not alert the girl to the sneak attack from behind.
The chair leg hit her head and knocked her to the ground. The moment she fell, she rolled away from the attack of the two people in front of her and squatted on the ground, covering her head with her teeth.
It could be seen that the girl's fingertips were stained with blood.
Blood slowly flowed from the hair near her ear and dyed half of her face red.
The tall boy was also a little stunned, probably because he did not expect the other party to take the hit. He hesitated for a while, then threw the chair to the ground and walked toward her step by step.
Just when everyone thought the situation was over, the girl suddenly showed a painful expression and opened her mouth to scream. Although the witches present could not hear her voice, they could tell from her expression how much pain she was suffering at the moment. Even when she was hit in the head by the chair, she did not look like this.
Then, a bolt of lightning leaped out from her fingertips, followed by a second, a third … The lightning spread along the floor, leaving a twisted orange trail behind it. When it came into contact with the window, it suddenly exploded with a bright flash!
In an instant, sparks flew in all directions, like iron and stone colliding. The glass was shattered and a big hole was blown in the wall. Everyone turned around and fled in panic, no longer caring about the short-haired girl who was shrouded by the electric light.
