In the previous Episode:


    While Elaru is waiting for Deora and Zerel to resume the exam, she meets Arion Urwin, who unlike the other examinees, holds no hostility towards her.


    Deora’s clothes have been burned away leaving him naked. Before he can resume the exam, he needs to be clothed, and a replacement speedometer needs to be found.


    Episode 41 – Urwin

    Damn right! I want interest on the time I wasted.


    Wait…she did what?!


    What the…? Is he making fun of me? Or did that really happen?


    “What really happened?” Kiel could no longer endure, and he sent his telepathic demand for Elaru to explain. Her response was simple: “Actually, everything happened exactly as he said…”


    “What. Did. You. Do?!”


    “How did you break the speedometer?!”


    “Naturally, I was too fast…” The statement wasn’t false, it indeed broke because of her speed. But of course, she didn’t elaborate the reason why she managed to reach that speed.


    Abnormal! You are too abnormal! From which world did you come from?!


    Urwin. Urwin. Hmmm…


    None of your business… Kiel grumbled inwardly.


    “What? Those were your words, not mine.” She responded, her eyes glittering impishly. Three days ago, when he realized he was stuck with her, he did mention something of the sorts.


    Why, oh, why did you have to break a speedometer in the presence of an Urwin?!


    What flawless execution! Could this be considered an Urwin family secret skill?


    “Nice save! You didn’t even lie. I see you are catching on what I meant when I talked about lying with truth.” She winked at him.


    Is this an interview, or is it that you usually never shut up?

    Coming up in the next episode:


    Elaru’s eyes suddenly glittered mischievously. “Don’t you want to show everyone how awesome you are? What better way than to be featured in the Sibyl? If you made friends with an Urwin, you’d more easily get featured as a new rising star mage.”


    When Elaru put down her gravity crystals, his thrill turned into awe: “Holy baffamoot! Can you be more awesome? What are you going to pull up next? A picnic basket? Darn…suddenly I feel hungry.”


    Kady Ailert looked at the examinees smilingly. “I hope you got some rest and are now ready for the second exam. As you might already know, the second exam tests your mana control a.k.a. weaving.”


    When the words left her mouth, all gazes converged on to Kiel.
