Chapter 2458 "Gift" That Can't Be Sent Out

It must be said that compared to John, who has always been a little unreliable in his work, Brooks' younger brother is indeed a good boy.

He is talented in magic, and has a sense of justice in dealing with people and things. And when it comes to some critical moments, he can show calmness and bravery that most of his peers don't have. Therefore, whether it is for Ilvermorny or for the Stewart family he was born in, he is a capable and good enough junior.

And at the same time... Obviously, he had a good impression of this girl named Tia Prince next to him, so much so that when he found that she had fallen into a dangerous situation, he even didn't hesitate to let himself step into it.

Yes, as an Ilvermorny underclassman, he was already quite good. But even so, in the face of the danger here, he has already understood his weight from the Shitabe boy.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The vertical pendulum clock at the front corner was ticking, slightly staggered from the sound of footsteps coming from the same direction, and it was clearly audible in this quiet corridor. So he didn't dare to move, so he could only squat here, silently waiting for the other party to walk over step by step.

Maybe it was just an ordinary No-Maj who lived here, couldn't sleep at night, so he got up and walked around. If it was just like this, it would be lucky, because a No-Maj who happened to pass by here would probably not notice the carelessness of the magic spell. In the corner behind this big vase.

He knew that this spell was the best he could do so far. It's just that the difficulty of the spell itself is beyond his ability. Even a No-Maj will notice the abnormality here if he looks carefully. Fortunately, it was night now, and the insufficient lighting made it much less likely for the two of them to be discovered.

However, if it was a wizard... According to his observation and understanding with the Nashtabe boy these days, there are wizards in this monastery, and there are more than one! And now that it was supposed to be the dead of night—the possibility of the other party being a wizard was actually greater than No-Maj's.

So, while Brooks was praying secretly in his heart, he had to clenched his wand tightly.

"Clap...clap...cappa..."

The man seemed to be wearing a pair of slippers or something, which made his walking sound somewhat draggy. Brooks didn't look any further, but just listened silently with Tia, who was more inside, and heard the footsteps getting closer.

Both of them were a little nervous. Brooks was worried that if he was discovered by the other party, other people would be attracted immediately, while Tia was more worried that Alisa, who had recovered, would lead others to catch up.

After all,

Hearing that the person in the corridor finally walked past the outside seemingly unaware, without stopping a step, and then gradually moved away, the two children couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

"It's far away...let's keep running!"

After confirming that there was no one in the corridor, Brooks, who was looking out again, tried to reach out for Latia's arm without looking back, but after pulling it, he found that it didn't move.

"Miss Prince, why—"

He looked back suspiciously, but suddenly his whole body froze and his scalp went numb. Because he saw that there was another figure in the corner where Tiya was supposed to be alone. When he looked in, that person actually nodded gently at him with a gentle face.

And Tia, who was closer to the opponent than him at this moment, naturally dared not act rashly.

"Another adorable child! My dear, is this a gift you brought me?" After glancing at Brooks, the other party slightly lowered their eyes and stared at Tia in front of them again, and said softly, "Of course , compared to the 'big gift' just now, this is obviously nothing... isn't it?"

Saying so, the other party gently stretched out his hand, as if to caress Tia's cheek. But at the moment when she was about to touch it, Tia, who suddenly came to her senses, leaned back slightly and dodged it.

Then, Tia whispered with some difficulty with a slightly dry voice:

"...Alyssa."

She still caught up, even though her forehead was covered with sweat, even though her clothes and hair were in a mess, and even though the bruising and swelling of blood vessels on her neck hadn't disappeared, she still caught up again!

"Yes, it's me, your Alisa." The other party smiled, but a little madness appeared under the gentle and benevolent face, "You did a good job just now, I must praise you, because You obviously understand the importance of a wand to a wizard - so you didn't forget to break my wand before you left - you did a great job!"

She first praised Tia inexplicably, which made Tia a little creepy, but she didn't know what she should do, so she could only press her thin lips with a stiff neck, waiting for the development of the situation.

However, when Tia felt that she could do nothing, Brooks beside her obviously did not give up. That is, at the moment Alisa hadn't finished speaking, very suddenly, Brooks stretched out the magic wand in his hand that had been prepared for a long time under the cover of Tia's body.

Unfortunately……

"Disarm you."

"Boom!"

The second after Brooks' wand was quietly protruded, Alisa in front of Tia swung her backhand abruptly, and a red glow shot across the three of them, hitting the tip of Brooks' wand accurately.

The next moment, his wand flew up like that, drew an arc in mid-air, and landed far away at another corner of the wall.

After doing all this, Alisa shook the new wand in her hand, still looked at Tia without raising her head and said:

"Look! Are you familiar?"

"My... wand," Tia murmured, staring closely.

"That's right," Alisa smiled again, "I thought you would go back to the room first, it was obviously near the exit, but you were so focused on escaping that you didn't go there. So you see, even occasionally There's some growth, but you're still not smart enough after all... I was right at the beginning, wasn't I?"

Having said that, she finally put the magic wand in her hand on Tia's forehead again, and said with a smile:

"Then, let me give you the gift that you didn't accept just now! Honey, this time, you have to accept it carefully! Cruciate—"

"boom!"

With an explosion sounding in time, she couldn't finish her spell.
