Chapter 160

The ladies stared at her in horror.

This made the "guide teacher" extremely happy. She forcefully hugged Sylas and said, "Sweet little one! Do you want to hold it?"

Sylas held Shirley under its "rib" with both hands, which didn’t seem very comfortable, but Shirley didn’t seem to mind. Its remaining six feet dangled and made a "gulp-gaga" sound.

"What should we do next?" Luna asked, but she watched Sylas’s Shirley-holding hand with caution.

"Should we clean this place first? There’s a magic broom by the door."

"But it’s almost dead."

"I’m really sorry, cuties. No one told me that you needed to use this place. How about next week? I’ll clean it up for you on the weekend."

Sylas shook her head and said, "I want a magic broom. Since you’re working as a cleaner, shouldn’t you have one?"

"Oh, no problem. I have plenty. Wait for me. Hold onto Shirley for me, don’t let her eat anything!" Miss Slote bounced away, just as fast as when she came.

"Sylas, just stay there. Don’t come any closer," Caroline looked at her with extreme caution, then turned and scolded her brother, "Did you find a really strange tutor?"

"Um… no returns or exchanges… but think about it, she wouldn’t come here without any reason."

Caroline gave him a very skeptical look and said, "Let’s hope so."

"Hey there, kids! Each of you gets two brooms."

No one likes cleaning, especially this attic, which is covered in dust. Every time you try to sweep the dust, more dust attacks you from all directions, so cleaning becomes ineffective. Everyone looks downcast.

Sylas said, "You all go out first, I’ll do it."

"But that’s not fair!" Luna was the first to object. "You’re a little fairy! How can I leave you alone here like Cinderella?"

"I promise it’ll be done in ten minutes tops." Sylas pushed everyone out and closed the door. She pulled Leunen out from the crack, and the slippery water lord dramatically exclaimed in pain.

"How can you torture the elderly water lord like this!"

"It’s nothing, just cleaning."

"…As you wish, I’ll serve you." Leunen didn’t intend to let Sylas force it to obey, so it willingly transformed into a large water shield, completely protecting Sylas inside. The wind received the message and mischievously ran amok in the circular tower. Sylas opened her hand, and invisible threads awakened all the magic brooms. Ten brooms ran and worked together, their slender bristles reaching into crevices that hadn’t been touched in perhaps ten years. The dust instantly flew into the wind, filling the entire tower with a haze. Leunen quickly became covered in "fruit crumbs" as the whirlwind shrank, sucking all the sand and dust into its core. Blue water droplets appeared in the void, crawling on the floor like slimes, leaving behind a refreshing trail wherever they went.

Finally, the whirlwind stopped, and Leunen reluctantly reached out and grasped the dusty core, disgustedly mingling it with the dirt on its body.

Sylas opened the door, and the people outside eagerly leaned in, simultaneously exclaiming in amazement. Luna even rushed forward and said, "Are you really a little fairy? Like the one who helped Cinderella with her chores!"

"What really is Cinderella?" she faintly felt it must be more than just the literal meaning.

"Um… let’s talk about this later! Oh my, oh my, how did you manage to do it?" She squatted down and wiped the ground with her hand. "You didn’t use a Leunen to clean, did you?"

Leunen snorted, "Of course, it was me who did the cleaning."

Luna may have thought of Leunen rolling on the floor, and suddenly laughed so much that she could hardly stand up.

Swis hugged all the books in a stack in the corner and said, "You even got rid of Shirley’s spider web."

Shirley seemed genuinely sad and made a "squeaky" sound.

Sylas approached Shirley and asked softly, "I’m really sorry, but can you weave another one, okay?"

Shirley, "Chirp… hehehehe…"

"Oh, such a good girl." She shook Shirley’s first and second legs.

Today we can’t get any work done for sure because there isn’t even a table here. Leunen acted as a table and the five people sat around its round and flat body.

Sylas patted the book beside and said, "Our goal is to learn this witchcraft and improve it. But there is very little research on witchcraft. When I looked at these books in class today, I found that the biggest difference between witchcraft and spells is that witchcraft has all kinds of spell materials, but the requirements for spells are not very high. The words of the spells are simple and it is not a language that we have seen before. So I have an idea… "

Everyone nervously waited for her conclusion and instinctively leaned in.

"With witchcraft, certain ‘essences’ can be easily summoned by using spell materials. Tower Rock corresponds to a certain type, silver powder corresponds to another type. Complicated witchcraft requires more types, while simple ones require fewer types. This is my guess, and I want to study it."

The remaining three children had different expressions, but overall they all looked very strange. They looked at each other, and Swis even glanced at Miss Slote.

Miss Slote still looked very cheerful and raised an eyebrow at him.

Oh well, Swis made up his mind, "Sylas, listen, the reason why witchcraft is called witchcraft is because it is very primitive… "

"Rustic," Luna added.

"Sleight of hand," Swis suddenly exaggeratedly widened his eyes like a monkey and bounced around, making funny noises.

"That’s right, look, this is the essence of witchcraft, ‘strange and magical powers’," Caroline said very seriously, "Maybe someone like you shouldn’t focus your energy on this."

"We just need to understand Dueling Law, like you said earlier."

"What?" Sylas’s expression was extremely shocked, no one has ever stopped her from studying something since she can remember. "Why? Isn’t it fun? Isn’t it useful?"

Swis said, "This is too, a waste of time, Sylas. Don’t forget about your timetable. Besides, it’s impossible. If your guess was true, it would have been already studied by someone."

"What did I say wrong?"

The siblings exchanged a glance, Caroline said, "It’s not… not wrong, it’s just, too time-consuming. It sounds like a lot of work. You have to do all the experiments on your own, and summarize these phenomena, right? Is that your plan? It might not even teach those jerks from Sauran a lesson by the time you graduate. Besides, it’s an area you’ve never ventured into before. You’ve never used witchcraft before, have you?"

Saying it like that doesn’t seem wrong either. Xerath has also taught her to pay attention to details and try to narrow down her approach. She has many guesses based on Xerath’s "unity theory," but she hasn’t even properly investigated these phenomena.

She took a step back, "…Alright, what you said is correct, let’s start by studying something simpler…"

Luna looked left and right at the two of them and couldn’t help but offer her opinion, "Shouldn’t we just directly…"

Swis grabbed her and continued speaking, "Great, great, as an excellent mediator, I can go to Tower Rock and get the silver powder."

Ms. Slote pushed aside her messy curls from her forehead and asked with joy, "So, are you studying witchcraft?"

"Yes!" Sylas immediately responded.

"How interesting!" But she didn’t seem to offer any interesting information.

Sylas turned her head disappointingly and brushed off Leunen to carry the borrowed books and left through the door.

"I will finish reading these books tomorrow." She slammed the door shut.

The rest of them looked at each other, and Luna said, "What are you guys doing exactly? Why do these useless things? Let Sylas duel using the ‘Dueling Law,’ and then we can all cheer. Listen to me, the ‘Knights Order’ has already been established!"

The "Knights Order" is Luna’s coveted Lily Knight Order. Star Song Castle is also Xerath’s alma mater, and she is the only living archmage who originated from Star Song Castle. This naturally grants her a large number of followers at Star Song Castle, and even the school approves of her behavior.

The captain of the Knights Order is, of course, not Luna, but the petite girl who was once questioned by Dean Eilan in Sauran’s classroom. Her name is Jane Isys. On the day of school opening, she posted her self-written short biography of Xerath called "Why Star Song Castle Honors Archmage Xerath" on the bulletin board, vividly recounting the drama and hardships of Xerath’s achievements from the perspective of a superfan. This quickly attracted a wave of admirers for the archmage, to the point that everyone started posting their own stories about Xerath on the bulletin board. Currently, an additional temporary bulletin board has been added, but the posts keep getting longer. Encouraged by Luna, Jane established the "Knights Order," and Luna conveniently handed out the emblem she designed.

Swis said, "Of course not, a duel that can’t be won with just one strike is meaningless. The little fairy will definitely come up with some amazing and surprising magic spell to make Sauran that annoying ghost fall flat on his face forever!"

Caroline then said, "Yes, there will be fun things."

Swis continued, "But if you don’t play with her, she won’t play with you either. Can’t you see that? We’ve known her for so long, besides B Truce, she has never shown interest in anything."

Luna wanted to slam the table, but there was no table to slam. She looked up and saw Mrs. Slote, so the twins looked at her too. Being stared at by a few people, Mrs. Slote hesitated a bit and tentatively asked, "Um… should I try to find a way to get you a table?"

"Oh well, let’s disband." Without a table, they couldn’t even do their homework, so everyone picked up their backpacks and left, leaving Shirley slowly weaving a new web in the corner of the room.

The make-up exams for world history were the most popular topic this week because many people skipped the exams last semester and went home early. There were no specific topics covered before the world history exams, and the number of students taking the make-up exams reached an unprecedented fifty percent. The merchants had already sensed the scent of money, and the so-called guaranteed passing answers were being sold for four gold coins each. With five gold coins, you could even buy a child.
