Chapter 19:
"It's done!"
By the Moon Lake, after putting down the glass bottle containing "some unknown magic powder" in his hand, Brand admired his "masterpiece" with satisfaction.
——Various strange patterns like children's graffiti, densely packed strange lines of different colors like circuits, and seven blank circles distributed in a circular pattern in the central area.
This is the limit of what Brand can do.
"Although from an aesthetic point of view, there are still some flaws in the base plate of the magic circle that I drew, from the perspective of rune magic circle science, the 'work' I drew is undoubtedly qualified." Put the various requirements on the test
paper After comparing and reviewing his "work" one by one, Brand nodded with satisfaction after confirming that every pattern and line in it was within the error range.
At this time, Celine on the other side of the lake twitched slightly after seeing Brand's answer sheet.
"What are these drawings? Isn't there a sample drawing on the test paper?"
Although it may be the first time for Brand to draw such a complicated thing.
But Celine still has deep doubts about Brand's painting talent.
As a senior rune magician, Celine has seen the magic circle base drawn by many people for the first time, if Brand's work is compared to it.
Brand's work is like an ugly duckling in a flock of ducks. Celine can't imagine that it could be the young of an elegant swan.
Celine's suspicion was not without reason.
Judging from past experience, the more talented a rune magician is, the more talented he is in painting.
They can more easily direct the direction of their strokes making it easier for them to draw runes.
From Celine's observations, Brand didn't seem to have that kind of talent.
"Can such a person really learn to draw runes in one semester?"
Although he was full of doubts about Brand's rune drawing skills, things have come to this point.
Celine decided to watch until the end.
"Next comes the real difficulty of drawing the rune array. Let me see if your title of rune genius is true or not!"
Brand's side, because the rune base plate has been drawn.
He felt a little more relaxed again.
According to the questions on the test paper, all you need to do next is draw the corresponding runes into the seven empty circles on the rune base plate according to the sample diagram.
Some time ago, in order to prepare for the final exam of the elective course, Brand practiced drawing runes No. 1 to 3 numerous times in the simulated world.
In addition, Brand actually drew many times on rune paper in the dormitory, with very few failures.
As long as he concentrates and concentrates, Brand's chance of failing in drawing runes one to three is almost negligible.
Therefore, for Brand, compared to the rune base plate with cumbersome processes and complex lines, drawing these seven runes is not that difficult.
The only troublesome part is that he doesn't have enough mental strength and needs to drink more than one bottle of awakening potion.
He glanced at the ten refreshing potions neatly placed aside.
Brand doesn't think this is a problem.
He picked up the rune pen on the pen stand nearby, filled it with rune ink, and tested the feel on the blank space of the test paper.
Brand began to focus on the first blank circle on the far left side of the answer sheet.
According to the sample drawing on the test paper, rune No. 2 needs to be drawn in this circle.
After briefly recalling the method of drawing Rune No. 2, Brand concentrated his attention and started writing directly.
The tip of the rune pen slowly traced across the answer sheet, and Brand's spiritual power flowed slowly into the rune pen like a stream, and was printed on the answer sheet together with the ink.
Brand didn't pause at all, skillfully one stroke after another, but after dozens of breaths, the first rune was completed.
Feeling the remaining mental power, Brand reached out and picked up a bottle of awakening potion, opened the cork and took a sip.
After waiting for a while and feeling that his mental power was rapidly recovering, Brand focused his attention on the second blank circle in front of him.
As Brand successfully drew the runes one by one.
The light in Celine's eyes on the other side of Moon Lake is getting brighter and brighter.
At this moment, Celine's inner doubts about Brand have now completely dissipated.
Looking at Brand's skillful technique and handsome face (crossed out) when drawing the three runes, Brand's reputation as a genius is well-deserved.
As the last stroke of the seventh rune was finished steadily, Brand put down the rune pen and let out a long sigh of relief.
Looking at his "masterpiece" in front of him, Brand nodded with satisfaction.
At this point, Brand has completed all the steps on the test paper, and Brand should be very happy.
But at this time, Brand was a little confused again.
Because he didn't see any "signs" of successful drawing.
Although Brand is a poor student, if you think about it, you will know that something as tall as the rune circle will definitely have some unusual "reactions" or "symptoms" when it is completed.
Not to mention thunder and lightning, but at least there should be a light or something!
But now there is nothing?
So is this not there in the first place, or does it mean that the drawing of the rune circle failed?
After looking over the answer sheet in his hand many times, Brand's face was full of doubts.
At this time, it seemed to be answering Brand's inner questions.
A pleasant female voice that tickled Brand's ears rang beside him:
"After the rune circle is completed, enough magic power needs to be injected into it to activate it."
Accompanying this voice was a moonlight-shining figure. The purple-haired woman slowly walked out of the void.
Although the white veil hid his appearance, even Brand, who was often surrounded by beautiful women, was stunned for a moment by his otherworldly temperament that was so different from the folk customs of the Kaya Empire.
But after all, he had seen a lot, and the purple-haired woman only made Brand feel novel for a moment.
As for being amazed or anything like that, not at all.
Soon, Brand turned his attention to the answer sheet in his hand.
After all, this is the first rune circle that he has drawn, and Brand is looking forward to what kind of "vision" will appear when it is completed.
Because he heard from the purple-haired woman that he needed to inject magic power to activate it, Brand couldn't wait to start mobilizing the magic power in his body and then inject it into it.
On Celine's side, seeing that her carefully dressed party attire matched her aloof temperament, Brand only glanced at her like a stranger.
Her mood fluctuated slightly.
But Celine is not one of those unreasonable little girls, and she didn't come to see Brand this time just to eat young grass.
Thinking about it carefully, Celine herself was just as impatient as Brand was when she successfully drew the rune circle for the first time.
So looking at Brand's handsome face when he was working seriously, her mood quickly calmed down again.
