Chapter 754: Lord of the Swarm

"This is... awakening?" Evelyn asked in surprise.

"Nine times out of ten," Lily nodded. When she first awakened, the magic power gathered in her body, which was equivalent to a backlash, and the pain was far beyond the comparison of scratching the scalp. Many witches often use their abilities unconsciously at this moment, and it is also the most easily exposed moment. If it was two or three years ago, the public awakening would almost have a dead end.

The lightning quickly disappeared, but the floor and outer wall of the classroom were ignited by this thunderbolt, and the orange-red trail left behind gradually rose to open flames and billowed thick smoke.

The girl struggled back to her partner who had already been stunned, yelled twice, then grabbed her wrist and dragged him out of the danger zone.

Lily raised her eyebrows appreciatively—you must know that although the first backlash is not fatal, it is also an unprecedented experience. After the backlash is over, you will often feel weak and sweaty. It is very rare for a girl in her teens to be able to control her body in this state and not forget her companion behind her.

The fire did not spread quickly. After all, the fire source caused by the discharge was very narrow. By the time the second half of the classroom was gradually engulfed by the fire, everyone had already evacuated the teaching building.

Seeing the truth revealed, A-Xia ended the traceback.

"Very good, we have another sister," Lily raised the corner of her mouth, and it was predictable that the other party was quite a good guy, regardless of ability, at least brave and willed. It was only after seeing her that not all witches were as bad as Mystery Moon.

Speaking of which, she purposely turned her head and glanced at Mizuki, only to find that the latter looked shocked, apparently not paying attention to what she was talking about.

Uh... what's wrong with this idiot?

"We have to tell Sister Wendy as soon as possible!" Amy suggested, "A new witch has appeared in Neverwinter!"

"Agreed," Evelyn nodded. "Let's go to the castle now."

Wendy probably knew about it a long time ago. Lily shrugged her shoulders, but she didn't express her thoughts. Anyway, after the wandering was over, she planned to go back to the bedroom to continue observing the tiny bugs, and happened to be on the way.

"Mysterious Moon?" When everyone reached the door, they found that Mysterious Moon was still in place.

"Ah... here I come," she shook her head, following everyone's footsteps out of her mind.

"Are you okay?" Evelyn patted her head.

"It's okay..." Mystery Moon replied in a low voice, completely different from the excitement before coming here.

What an inexplicable guy.

Lily pouted, took her hand, and injected the "mother worm" into her body by the way. Although idiots will not catch the cold, but... what if something unexpected happens.

The group returned to the Witch's Building in the Magic Ark, and after reporting the matter to Wendy in a hurry, they were indeed blamed by the other party who couldn't laugh or cry.

"Is it still necessary for you to find out the truth? Sylvie discovered the magical reaction of the academy district in the castle, and she knew everything by asking." Wendy stretched out her hand and tapped everyone on the forehead, " Sneaking through the cordon and trespassing into potentially dangerous places, you are getting closer to lightning—do you also want to be locked up and do three sets of comprehensive test questions?"

Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they quickly shook their heads.

"Ah, I almost forgot," Evelyn clapped her hands suddenly, "I have to check the inventory in the tavern before dinner."

"I, I also have a difficult problem to ask Isabella," Maggie bowed deeply, "First, I will take my leave."

"And me," Vanilla hurriedly followed her and ran out.

"Eh?" Amy thought hard for a while, but couldn't come up with a suitable excuse, and was finally dragged out of the office by A Xia.

Lily sighed, if Wendy really plans to punish you, do you think you can escape this way? Besides, the three sets of test questions only take one night, so there is nothing wrong with using them to consolidate the knowledge you have learned.

After pressing Mystery Moon's head and apologizing to Wendy, she also returned to the bedroom.

"Now you can tell me, what happened?" After closing the door, Lily rolled her eyes at the sad roommate, "Don't you just want me to care about you?"

"Lily..." Mystery Moon twitched her nose, "The new witch can discharge electricity!"

"so what?"

"Electricity is magnetism, and magnetism is electricity. In other words... I am her, and she is me," she said worriedly, "What if her ability is stronger than mine, and His Majesty no longer needs me?"

"Pfft," Lily almost choked on her saliva, "Did you say that? Even if the abilities of the two of you are exactly the same, His Majesty will not intentionally leave the other unused."

"But there's always a comparison..."

"Then you are always different—" At this point, Lily was stunned, always...different? "Wait, what did you say earlier?"

"Electricity is magnetism?"

"A little behind."

"Uh... she is me."

"So that's how it is!" Lily only felt a sudden sound in her head, and a brand new thought appeared in her heart. She couldn't care about Miyue anymore, ran to the desk, picked out a drop from a cup of stagnant water and put it under the microscope, focusing on adjusting the focus.

"What do you mean?" Mystery Moon protested, "Hey, can't you comfort me a little more?"

"Don't bother me!" She waved her hand, "If you don't want to be compared to her, start studying hard from now on——in that case, there may be some hope."

That’s right, the comparison is always different, no matter how many patterns of tiny worms she draws to make the mother body as similar to the target as possible, the mother body cannot become the target—because of the limitation of observation, she can’t see every part of the worm. For a detail, as long as the microscope magnifies a little more, or the worm moves its position, the mother body she pinched out through comparison will become very different.

If you want it to transform into a specific bug, the two should be one.

Lily quickly found a target - a transparent worm body like rotten grapes. This kind of worm is very common in stagnant water, and it is also the comparison object she often chooses for experiments.

She lightly touched the glass, summoning a female worm invisible to the naked eye, restraining its urge to assimilate the target, and using its tentacles to get closer to the grape worm, gradually overlapping the target. Then the mother began to infiltrate the grape worm's body, occupying every corner of its body, until its whole body turned light purple.

The mother is the worm, and the worm is also the mother.

When she let go of the restriction, she saw for the first time that the mother body did not instantly change back to its original state as usual, but swam in the form of grape worms. The various bugs around it all turned into rotten grapes, and this process quickly spread to the entire water drop.

After half a quarter of an hour, Lily couldn't find any tiny bugs except grape worms.
