Chapter 13 Setting up A Trap

Since Ms. Catherine had asked, there was no reason for Lo to refuse again. Besides, when he had saw so many students gathering magic in front of him, he always felt itchy and wanted to have a try.

"Okay, Ms. Catherine. I'll give it a try, but I'm not sure if it will succeed. Because you know, I've never been in touch with magic before."

All the students in the class stared suspiciously at Lo who was walking slowly to the stage from the back row.

What did he just say? He had never been in touch with magic before? Did it mean that he hadn't learned the basic magic in his family? Are you kidding us?

They had thought that this transferred student Lo might be a bumpkin, but they didn't expect him to be so "bumpkin"!

This guy had only been in touch with magic for the first day, and how dare he talked nonsense to Ethan, the most outstanding young student in the Gallagher family who had been influenced by magic since he was a child?

Seeing the displeasure on Ethan's face, everyone was surer that Lo would be humiliated on the stage.

"Yes, I don't know why a transferred student who just been in touch with magic could see the flaw in my magic. Maybe it's just a coincidence that I didn't do well enough, or maybe it's just his nonsense. Who knows?" Ethan shrugged and looked at him contemptuously when Lo stepped onto the stage.

"But anyway, please show us what is the perfect 'time to release' for me, as well as all the classmates present and Ms. Catherine on the stage? Lo Stephen?"

Lo of course he could sense the danger in Ethan's words, but since things had come to this point, he had to bite the bullet and move forward, giving a hint to Ms. Catherine.

"Teacher, I'm ready."

Ms. Catherine nodded and prepared the same fiery red mark and long column bar for him as other students. "You can start at any time."

Lo took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, constantly recalling the process just now in his mind.

How to distinguish the fire elements in the air, how to control the flow and direction of the fire elements, how to gather them around, and how to try to control them.

All the problems made him clueless and lost in thought.

As time passed by, he still stood on the stage with his eyes closed, and kept standing motionless.

The last bit of patience of the students under the stage was almost run out, and they were discussing with each other boringly.

"Eh, when do you say this guy will stand until? He won't be standing until the end of the class?"

"Pretentious, who knows?"

"Is it possible that he is just afraid of losing face, so he pretends to think about it? In fact, he is praying that the time will pass quickly."

On the stage, Ethan had been waiting impatiently for a long time. Probably other students were not very sensitive, but he could feel that there was no magic fluctuation on this guy named Lo.

Yes, since the moment he stood on the stage, so far, there had been no magic fluctuation.

Whether he was telling the truth or not, at least, it should be true that he had never been in touch with magic before.

If it weren't for Ms. Catherine who was standing on the stage and waiting patiently, he would have raised an objection.

"Ah!" The little fat Jill under the stage felt so bored and yawned. But all of a sudden, he opened his eyes wide and his lips trembled.

"It's coming! It's coming!"

"Huh? What's coming?" The surrounding students didn't know what was going on. They looked at Gil, only to find that he was staring at the Lo on the stage motionlessly.

Not only Gil who found the strange, but also Ms. Catherine, Ethan and several other students who were very sensitive to the magic flow in their class.

Fire elements were flowing!

Even if it was only a small part, but the person on the stage was really gathering fire elements!

"Does it mean that this guy has already could release magic? Did he do it on purpose just now?" Ethan thought to himself, but he quickly denied, "No, no. Judging from the intensity of the magic power and the gathering speed of the fire elements, it is far from enough to form a magic. It is just a simple control of the elements."

In order to form a fireball with real destructive power, controlling the fire elements in the air to come to his side was far from enough, and he had to gather them to a certain extent. In addition, he had to control them to form the desired shape while keeping them from overflowing.

Just like rubbing snowballs in a snow battle, by constantly rubbing the scattered snow together, continuously condensing and expanding, only in this way could the snowball become stronger and more destructive?

However, with the slow flow of the magic power released by Lo, it was like grabbing a handful of scattered snow and putting it in his hand.

Noticing that there was something wrong, Ethan was relieved. "What? Let everyone wait for so long, and the result is at this level..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ms. Catherine on the side.

"Don't rush to the conclusion. You can observe it carefully."

Huh? What did Ms. Catherine mean?

Ethan was puzzled. He observed the fire elements flow beside Lo again and got the answer immediately.

"What! ? Has it increased to such an extent!?" He exclaimed.

In just a twinkling of an eye, the fire elements gathered by Lo had grown from a few sparks to a small flame, and they were still growing, and the speed at which they were growing was several times faster!

"This, this is!" Gil couldn't be more familiar with that. Just now, for a moment, he felt that the power of fire elements Lo gathered was almost the same as the one he had released at the time.

But that was only for a moment. The next moment, Lo would have a stronger element power.

That was to say, Lo easily surpassed him in the moment when he had been studying fireball magic for so long.

Moreover, the force had not stopped at all. It was rushing at a considerable speed towards the scale of Linna's fireball magic released at that time.

"Oh my God! He has already surpassed me!"

Linna, who was sitting in the front row, also had the same feeling as Gil. She covered her mouth and exclaimed with a surprised expression on her face.

On the stage, Ethan swallowed and felt uneasy.

Although the magic power fluctuation of Lo in front of him was not as powerful as he had thought at that time, it was only a matter of time before it surpassed him at such a speed.

"Hey, are you kidding me!? You can't hold it anymore, can you!?" Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, he said in a trembling voice.

However, Lo didn't do as he expected. All of a sudden, his eyes opened, emitting an orange red dazzling light.

From that moment on, the power of the fire element in the air was crowded from all sides like subjects rushing to the royal city to worship their king.

"Ethan, go back to your seat first." Ms. Catherine waved her hand, indicating him to leave.

Ethan widened his eyes and shouted, "What!?"

He understood what Ms. Catherine meant. Probably "It's dangerous here. You can leave first." But he couldn't believe it. Did he really need to do that? Just because of this bumpkin who had just been in touch with magic for the first time?

He stared unbelievably at the figure who was still gathering fire elements, and his body was wrapped in orange red luster

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and enter the enchanted barrier!" Catherine scolded him when she saw that he didn't move for a long time.

As magic school's teacher, the most important thing for her was to ensure the safety of her students. On the stage, there was an enchanted barrier that she released to restrain the magic. As long as they left the platform, it would be absolutely safe.

"Fine, fine." With a mixed feeling, Ethan walked down the stage. Before he left, he didn't move his eyes away from Lo and thought, "Damn it! You brat! What you said you would touch the magic for the first day, put me fiercely!"
