Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 1417 - 1415: Wait a Moment

Night.

Atlantis University Main Campus, Dormitory 6, Room 502, Bed 1.

The night was already very deep, but Ma Qiu lay tossing and turning on the bed, unable to sleep, his eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling above.

Earlier in the day, he went to welcome the new freshman Donna at her request, and attended the Security Court hearing. As a result, he encountered the rarely-seen appearance of the Court Security Chief, which had a significant impact on him.

Until now, he still felt palpitations, a wave of lingering fear.

Honestly, as things progressed, his mind was in complete chaos, he couldn’t recall exactly how he survived that terrifying wizard battle, let alone how he left the Security Court.

He had a vague impression that it seemed like Donna pulled him away from the attack, left the court, and returned to the university. But thinking seriously about it, Donna was just a girl, perhaps with a bit better physique and braver, but still a girl. A girl so innocent it’s almost silly, how could she achieve this? Besides, she didn’t even know the university’s location, so how could she lead him back?

Perhaps the truth is, he exploded the hidden potential within his body, taking Donna away from the residual effects of the wizard battle, then led her back to the university following the route ingrained in his memory. And it was this burst of potential that exhausted him so much that his mind is still dizzy now.

Yes, it must be this way.

He turned over again in bed, the sleepless Ma Qiu’s thoughts continued to fly astray.

To be honest, the wizard battle that erupted from the Security Court was not the most impactful on him. The most impactful was the person Donna. For some unknown reason, even though he brought her back to the university, completing the task assigned by the school’s assistant office, he still couldn’t forget about her.

In his perception, although his interaction with Donna was less than a day, it felt like friends who have known each other for decades. Separating from Donna for just a few hours felt like being apart for several centuries.

This left him completely without any sleepiness, lying in bed constantly pondering what Donna was doing now, losing interest in doing anything else, even the virtually weekly entertainment activity—inviting a pretty lady to dinner, he felt uninterested.

This was something he had never experienced in his over twenty years of life.

What was happening to him?

Was he ill?

Ma Qiu lay on the bed for a long time, turning over and over, pondering about Donna, during which a peculiar feeling brewed, accumulated within him, eventually reaching its limit, almost uncontrollably ready to burst forth.

"Swish!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Ma Qiu sat up from the bed, grimacing, clutching his bulging tummy, clamping his legs tightly, and ran towards the bathroom outside the dorm—he had an urgent need.

There was a public bathroom at each end of every floor of Dormitory 6, and he was ready to run there to address his physical issue.

Just as he stood up, he saw the dormitory door that was plugged with a wooden latch "creak" open inexplicably, a breeze blew in, hitting his face.

He shivered, clenched his legs tighter, partly because he felt the eeriness, and partly because his urgency intensified.

"Who~" Ma Qiu’s voice came out slightly trembling.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Footsteps sounded, and a figure wearing a light blue robe with their face hidden in the robe’s hood appeared at the door. They glanced at Ma Qiu, not answering his question, instead asked in a cold female voice: "You are Ma Qiu Philip, the one who brought student Donna Monica to Atlantis University today, right?"

"Yes, that’s me." Ma Qiu instinctively nodded and continued asking, "Then you are..."

"No need to know who I am, you just need to know that the student you brought cast a bit of Spirit Magic on you. Due to her unfamiliarity with casting spells, it caused a slight negative impact on your consciousness—like, she might have intended to subconsciously influence your decisions, have you follow her advice, resulting in you directly liking her." The figure said.

"Ah?" Ma Qiu was stunned, his groggy brain not reacting, clamping his legs tighter as he argued, "I like Donna? No, no, I’ve only met her once, how could I like her?"

"Fool, I’m saying under the spell’s influence, you came to like her."

"That’s not even..."

"Enough!" The figure interrupted Ma Qiu’s words, showing a posture of being unwilling to argue further, "About this matter, you don’t need to understand much. I will help you dispel the spell effect on you and will make this memory blur. Next, you just need to have a good sleep, and by tomorrow when dawn breaks, you can return to your normal life as before."

After saying that, the figure extended a hand holding a Magic Wand, pointed at Ma Qiu, a grey light shot forth, hitting Ma Qiu’s body.

Ma Qiu’s eyes widened, his legs clamped nearly with no gap, his mouth uttering, "Wait, I..."

But only managed to utter the beginning before his voice abruptly halted, his body softened, collapsing to the ground, snoring deeply into sleep.

The figure withdrew their hand, glanced at Ma Qiu on the ground, asked in confusion: "Wait for what? What do you want to do?"

Ma Qiu: "Snore, snore..." deeply asleep, without any response.

"Forget it." the figure voiced, giving up on pursuing, turned around and left.

"Boom!"

The dormitory door automatically closed and locked after the figure left.

At this point, beneath the deeply asleep Ma Qiu, a puddle of liquid seeped out, slowly spreading to the surrounding...

The scent in the summer boys’ dormitory room was wafting, fermenting...

...

On the other side.

Dormitory 17, Room 327.

This is a single dormitory, in its private washroom, standing in front of the wash mirror, Donna was applying her makeup.

Various colored powders were applied on her face, causing her facial appearance to undergo subtle changes, and in just a moment, transformed into the face of another person. Looking more mature than herself, appearing approximately thirty years old, with average looks yet carrying a few seductive charms in her glance.

Checking several times in front of the wash mirror, Donna nodded in satisfaction, turned to leave the washroom, put on a black robe, carrying a pair of black leather boots, then ran towards the window of her dormitory.

Upon reaching the window, skillfully pulled it open. Her body leaped up, landing her delicate soles on the window ledge, her whole body slightly hunched as if a recessed catapult ready to launch.

At this moment, Donna sensed something, glanced back at the dormitory door, her eyes widened.

The next moment, she turned over from the window ledge, swiftly pulling up the window, casually discarded the leather boots she was holding, and extended her hand into her clothes.

Drawing out a small glass tube from within her clothes, popping the cap and poured it drastically over her face, then wiped both hands, causing the previously applied makeup to completely dissolve. Using the worn robe like a face towel, she wiped clean, restoring her original appearance.
