Chapter 56: Magic tricks in the classroom

Three effects, each more powerful than the last, and each one both flashy and awesome.

The first effect can create 8 mirror images, and the main body can also enter an invisible state; who could distinguish which one is the real him?

The second allows him to swap positions with any mirror image at will, meaning if 8 mirror images are placed in different locations, he himself can appear anywhere.

One second he might be on the rooftop of a 100-story building, and the next second he could appear downstairs.

As for the third, that’s even more incredible.

Although the description mentions a mirror surface, this mirror surface doesn't necessarily have to be a mirror; glass, water surfaces, any reflective place can be a mirror surface.

If there had to be a flaw, it would be that the casting distance for this effect is only 500 meters, and it consumes 10 points of magic per use; with his current total magic, he could only use it 4 times before running out.

Otherwise, with this skill, no one in this world would be able to catch him, nor would any weapon be able to kill him, not even a nuclear bomb, because he could dive into the mirror surface the second before a nuclear bomb fell.

“Another powerful magic item; it seems the number of magic tricks I can perform has increased.”

Lin Ye, in high spirits, immediately tested the effects of the Arcane Scepter; with a gentle wave of his scepter, a mirror image identical to him suddenly appeared in the room.

With another wave of the scepter, a second, third, fourth... up to an eighth appeared.

Eight mirror images, all looking exactly like him, practically filled his room, while he himself entered an invisible state.

Looking at his completely invisible self, a strange light flickered in his eyes.

At this moment, he once again felt the power of magic.

Ten minutes later, he waved his hand to dispel all the mirror images; it wasn't that he had had enough fun, but that it was almost time for his afternoon class.

“Oh no, oh no, I forgot the time! If I’m late for the first class, the teacher will definitely remember me, and then I won’t even be able to skip class.”

Looking at the time on his watch, Lin Ye cried out in dismay.

Hurrying to school, he rushed straight to his classroom.

However, despite his haste, he was still 5 minutes late when he arrived at the classroom; his classmates and roommates were all sitting obediently, and a female teacher in her early 30s, with short ear-length hair and wearing a white butterfly-collar shirt, was interacting with the students from the podium.

Upon seeing this, Lin Ye immediately felt uneasy.

As he walked to the classroom door, looking embarrassed, the female teacher on the podium also noticed his presence.

Without waiting for Lin Ye to announce himself, the female teacher spoke first:

“Student, are you also a student in our class?”

Hearing this question, Lin Ye nodded.

“It’s already five minutes into class, why are you just arriving?” the female teacher said sternly after looking at the sports watch on her wrist.

“Uh, this…”

“Think, stupid! Think!” For a moment, Lin Ye couldn't come up with a good excuse.

Just then, the female teacher suddenly said,

“What, can’t come up with a suitable excuse?”

“Hehe, you saw right through me, Teacher,” Lin Ye smiled, looking worse than if he were crying.

“How about this, I can let you into the classroom, but you have to perform a talent on the podium in front of the whole class. If everyone thinks you’re good enough, I’ll let you sit down. What do you all say?”

As she spoke, the female teacher looked towards the students below the stage.

Immediately, the students began to jeer, especially some of the boys, with Lin Ye’s roommates being the most boisterous.

At crucial moments, they were the most likely to stab him in the back.

“Teacher, Teacher, he can do magic! Let him perform a magic trick for everyone!”

“Yes, yes, yes, he’s a professional Magician, he’s amazing!”

“One! One!”

Led by them, the rest of the class also started shouting, each looking like they loved to watch a good show.

And when the female teacher heard that Lin Ye could do magic, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

“Student, everyone is so enthusiastic, why don’t you perform one for everyone?”

“Everyone, please give this student a round of applause.”

The next second, warm applause erupted in the classroom.

Seeing this, Lin Ye had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk onto the podium; the female teacher very considerately left the center of the podium for Lin Ye.

At this moment, all eyes in the classroom were on Lin Ye.

They weren't curious about what magic trick Lin Ye would perform; they simply wanted to see a spectacle.

In their eyes, Lin Ye was just an ordinary student like them, and at most, he would perform some small magic trick that was common on the internet.

At this point, Lin Ye, standing on the podium, spoke openly and confidently.

“Actually, I’m not a professional Magician; at most, I can only be considered a magic enthusiast.”

“Since everyone is so supportive, I’ll perform a small magic trick for you all.”

“This magic trick is called ‘Rebirth from Fire’.”

“Rebirth from Fire?” Hearing these four words, everyone in the classroom was first stunned, then became interested, and also a little curious.

Just then, Lin Ye’s gaze suddenly locked onto a vase on the podium.

The vase contained a bunch of dried flowers, probably given to the previous teacher by some student, and it had been there for who knows how long, the fresh flowers long since turned into dried ones.

He casually took out a dried rose from it.

Upon seeing this, everyone became even more confused about what he was going to do, until Lin Ye spoke.

“Do you believe that I can make this flower come back to life?”

As soon as he said this, the people in the classroom were first stunned, then shook their heads repeatedly, indicating they didn’t believe him.

“Teacher, do you believe it?”

Hearing this, the short-haired female teacher shook her head repeatedly.

“I don’t believe it.”

“Alright then, now is the moment to witness a miracle.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Ye flicked his hand, and a lighter appeared in his hand, looking as if it were made of water.

Clink!

The moment the lighter lid was flipped open, a cluster of orange-yellow flame appeared on it.

Then, under the astonished gazes of everyone present, Lin Ye used the lighter to ignite the dried rose in his hand.

The rose, without any moisture, instantly turned into a small torch.

Fierce flames burned on the dried petals, creating a beauty that was overly tragic.

Just then, everyone suddenly saw that the flame on the rose had actually transformed into the shape of a rose.

Before they could react, the entire rose turned into a fiercely burning fireball.

The moment the fireball ascended, everyone in the classroom couldn’t help but let out gasps of surprise.

The next second, Lin Ye grabbed the fireball.

Whoosh...

The fireball extinguished, and a vibrant red rose, dripping with dew, appeared out of thin air in his hand.

This sudden scene instantly stunned all the students in the classroom and the teacher standing at the side of the podium.

Their eyes were all filled with shock.

Just then, Lin Ye suddenly walked over to the short-haired female teacher with the rose.

“Teacher, you’ve worked hard. This bouquet is for you.”

“Also, may I go sit down for class now?”

The female teacher, who had subconsciously accepted the flower, nodded blankly.

And Lin Ye, having received permission, walked under the gaze of the entire class to his three roommates and sat down.

It wasn’t until he sat down that enthusiastic applause erupted in the classroom.

Along with the murmuring of his three roommates.

“You little scoundrel, you showed off again.”

“But you’re done for, kid. From now on, you can expect this teacher to call on you. She’ll definitely call on you to answer questions in every class.”

“That’s right, I’ve heard that this teacher is especially strict and difficult to talk to. Many upperclassmen have failed under her.”

“Oh? Is that so? By the way, what class is this again?” Lin Ye asked curiously.

“Foreign language class.”

Hearing that it was a foreign language class, Lin Ye suddenly smiled; although his foreign language skills weren't great, he had Proficiency in Languages.
