Dark-colored Fairy Tale: Seven Magicians - Chapter 32
Chapter 32
Liu Menglu looked at Chloe, who was wearing her ceremonial armor and sitting next to her with a test paper. She asked with a headache, “Chloe, what are you doing?”
Chloe said with a serious expression, “I’m experiencing sloth. I don’t want to take the exam or do the problems seriously. So, I’m going to copy your answers.”
Liu Menglu tried her best to suppress the twitching vein on her forehead. “Even if you don’t want to take the exam and do the problems, you don’t have to wear the armor, do you?”
“Don’t you know?” Chloe countered.
This left Liu Menglu confused. “Know what?”
Chloe explained, “When I put on my armor, the people around me will subconsciously ignore me. This is also a law of the world. They will subconsciously block normal people’s attention to magical beings.”
Liu Menglu: “…”
She glanced around and saw that none of the students taking the exam noticed her. Even the teacher, who was supposed to be walking around to prevent cheating, seemed to have given up on this area today, not looking in their direction at all.
Even the sharp points on Chloe’s armor were pressed directly against a student’s back, but the student didn’t notice anything was wrong.
Liu Menglu’s headache worsened. What in the world is going on?!
Using a ceremonial sacrifice just to cheat on an exam… I’m pretty sure she’s the only magical girl in the world to do this.
Liu Menglu felt a headache, but seeing Chloe’s indifferent expression, she could only sigh and continue to do her problems.
However, before doing the problems, she still couldn’t help but complain, “Your cheating method is probably unmatched by anyone in this world. It’s truly impressive that you could think of using a demon-slaying sacrifice for cheating.”
Chloe blinked at Liu Menglu, her brilliant golden eyes filled with a serious expression.
“It’s all thanks to your inspiration.”
Liu Menglu: …I want to say thank you, but I don’t feel honored at all.
Seeing that Chloe was determined to copy her test paper, Liu Menglu could only tell her not to copy the exact same answers, or the teacher would find out.
Chloe nodded seriously. Neither of them noticed that when Chloe’s sacrifice appeared, its magical energy spread around, causing a stir in the Chinese Sacrificial Supervision Department.
…
After a day of exams, Liu Menglu felt mentally and physically exhausted.
She—a ten-talented beautiful girl!
For the first time, I taught someone how to cheat, even if the method was a bit magical.
As for the other cheater, Chloe felt great while copying the test paper. But when the exam was over, violating her long-held standards of conduct made her feel uncomfortable.
As one of Fayalon’s best students in recent years, cheating would happen just this once.
So, while everyone else left the exam hall feeling relaxed, the two people with the best grades looked exhausted.
“When we go home today, you’d better help me with my studies,” Chloe said.
Liu Menglu immediately became energetic and teased, “Oh, you’re not planning to keep cheating on the next exam? This is the best opportunity to learn to be lazy.”
Chloe shook her head, looking at her hand with a confused expression.
“Cheating actually feels very bad. I don’t know why those people would be lazy and not study. It’s always best to have the knowledge yourself.”
Hearing this, Liu Menglu just smiled and didn’t say anything. Not everyone in this world was like Chloe, with their own firm code of conduct that they would not violate and would carefully maintain.
Seeing that Liu Menglu didn’t speak, the already quiet Chloe also fell silent. The two of them walked toward home in the setting sun. Although they were both silent, a warm atmosphere surrounded them.
This warm atmosphere should have stayed with them until they entered their warm dreams. But when they walked through a familiar alley, a faint, sweet, milky smell wafted to their noses.
That sweet and fragrant smell made both of their eyes light up.
Liu Menglu sniffed the sweet air, pulled Chloe, and walked toward the source of the smell. She loved bubble tea, and this faint, milky smell made her crave it even more.
Although Chloe was younger than Liu Menglu and stubborn in her ways, she privately considered herself the older sister and always favored Liu Menglu.
When Liu Menglu pulled her, she didn’t resist and walked toward the milky scent.
As they walked, the originally relaxed Chloe slowly began to frown.
She slowly placed one hand on her sacrifice. She hadn’t noticed it before, but now she smelled the unique aura of a demon.
There’s a demon here!
Chloe’s expression gradually became serious. She looked at Liu Menglu, who was still immersed in the sweet smell, her nerves tense. She didn’t call Liu Menglu out on it rashly.
She needed Liu Menglu to lead the way so she could eliminate the demon in one fell swoop.
Liu Menglu wasn’t walking very fast. When the milky smell became more and more intense, Liu Menglu stopped. She slowly turned her head, her face filled with a smile.
“It smells really good. Let’s both get some later.”
Hearing the voice beside her, Chloe’s hand, which was gripping her sacrifice, paused. She looked at Liu Menglu’s sincere face, and her heart relaxed. Her eyes grew warmer.
The reason her heart relaxed was that this demon was only a low-level one. Otherwise, Liu Menglu couldn’t have noticed her and offered to share while under the temptation of the sweet smell.
Her heart softened because Liu Menglu was sharing with her. Even if this was a low-level demon, it was still a great temptation for a normal person.
Liu Menglu was able to break free from the temptation to possess it all and share with her, which not only required immense willpower but also meant that Liu Menglu truly had her in her heart.
Chloe didn’t want to spoil Liu Menglu’s fun. She gently nodded, quickly stepped forward, and took Liu Menglu’s hand.
Although the demon was low-level and probably couldn’t harm anyone, she still didn’t want to see Liu Menglu be affected by anything else in front of her.
The milky smell became stronger, and the two of them got closer to the demon.
Liu Menglu’s once-clear eyes gradually became hazy. She mumbled, “Smells so good, I want to drink it.”
Chloe was completely unaffected. The core of her sacrifice began to reveal itself.
“Q~Q~Q~” A strange sound appeared. A giant tapioca pearl from a bubble tea appeared in front of Liu Menglu and Chloe.
That black, shiny, and bouncy-looking pearl was hopping around. The milky smell continued to spread, and the sweet sensation became even more tempting.
Liu Menglu’s eyes became even hazier. She held Chloe’s hand tightly, mumbling about wanting to drink it. She was about to run toward the pearl, but she paused before she did.
Her eyes were still hazy, but she held Chloe’s hand tightly and asked, “Chloe, do you want to drink it?”
Seeing this, Chloe, who had already pulled out her sacrifice, suddenly smiled. The originally hideous-looking demon also gained a touch of cuteness in her eyes.
“I don’t want any.”
Liu Menglu was stunned. She seemed to be a little confused about why Chloe didn’t want to drink such a sweet and fragrant bubble tea.
But she didn’t force her. Just as she took a step, ready to walk toward the bouncy demon, Chloe gently waved her hand. The Parasite Spear of the Sacrificed Beings condensed in her hand. The bl00d-red spear, nearly two meters long, looked strangely funny in Chloe’s small hands.
Looking at the spear, the demon, the tapioca pearl, felt utterly terrified.
