Raghnall casted an invisibility spell as he tried to go closer to them. But he stopped midway when he remembered that he was still wearing Favian's face and body despite being invisible. So, if ever someone nullified his invisibility spell, they would see Favian's face first which would give out the wrong message and it can even get him into trouble.
Speaking of trouble…
If he were to leave his post, does that mean that 'Favian' is going to get into big trouble?
Having that sudden thought in his mind, he pondered on it for a few seconds. But then, he realized that since Professor Gnarly announced a break, that can also mean that 'Favian' could also take a break too, right?
After all, Professor Gnarly's probably at the office complaining about his disrespectful behavior so it will also take awhile for him to come back. That old man can speak for hours on end if given the chance to start.
So, with that in mind, Raghnall decided to forego with his original plan. But this time, to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, he decided to remove the illusion spell on himself, making him turn back to looking like himself again.
Then, with soft footsteps, he made his way to Herad.
Herad on the other hand was staying still. His hand crossed in front of him as he smiled excitedly.
Just the three of them!
Surely Professor Gnarly would pass them three! It's almost been an hour since the tests had started so the test would definitely end by now.
When the thought of passing one of the hardest exams in Eldora with only one try, Herad couldn't withhold his excitement as he peered at his dear brother.
"Galen, do you know when Professor Gnarly would arrive?"
Herad said excitedly as he smiled. Galen couldn't help but smile as well as though Herad's excitement was contagious.
"In a few moments, I hope. From what I remember, there hasn't been any event similar to our case so I cannot say for sure."
Herad nodded as he agreed. He was about to ask another question about a different topic when he felt a pair of eyes staring intently at him. He tried to discreetly look for the source. But other than Drona glaring daggers at them, he didn't find anyone who was staring at him.
Then, when he was about to walk to search for those eyes amongst the rowdy crowd, he felt something that swung on his leg before he fell unceremoniously on the ground.
He clutched at his shin as he laid on the ground, in pain. He wasn't able to get a scream out as he tried to subdue the stinging pain. After a low tier healing spell, the small bruise soon returned to normal and Herad pushed himself off the ground.
He looked at the place where he tripped and he saw nothing that would do any damage to his shin.
Then, it suddenly dawned in him.
The person must be using an invisibility spell!
So, with that in mind, he casted a vision enhancement spell as he tried to look for the invisible person.
But sadly, despite Herad's effort, it was already futile to try and spot Raghnall because he immediately went back to the inconspicuous area at the time when Herad was casting a healing spell.
Raghnall only had to confirm something anyways so he didn't see a need to stay longer and risk getting caught. And just as he thought, it was Herad and Galen that poisoned Inna.
How?
That was a question he used to ask to himself when he knew abt the two wicked men back when the test was still ongoing.
How were they able to affect Inna?
How were they able to cast the curses without being reprimanded?
How were they able to poison her as well?
He used to always bombard his mind with these questions as he carried Inna towards the gates.
But on the moment that he used his leg to trip Herad, he immediately knew how it happened.
The strange glistening of his shoe, the inactivity of Professor Gnarly, the confidence of Herad and Galen, and the poison on Inna's body.
He can finally connect them all with one single word.
Needles.
The strange glistening of Herad's shoe at the moment he took a step was due to the fine needles that were embedded on its sole.
And when Herad was clutching his shin, Raghnall was able to investigate the fine needles for only a second. But within that second he was able to confirm that the needles had magic spell embedded on them.
Well, not magic 'spells' but more like 'curses' instead.
These were the Immobility and Sleeping curse that was previously found on Inna.
And it wasn't a violation of the rule to use that kind of magic since technically, the magic was embedded on a medium. Hence, Professor Gnarly turned a blind eye towards it. And that was also the reason as to why they didn't fear of getting caught cheating.
It's because they technically didn't cheat!
And that wasn't just all…
If Raghnall's guess was correct, those little needles were coated also with some kind of poison.
And the moment that the poison and cirses were administered was probably on that time where Inna and Herad collided.
And if memory serves him right, Herad was supposed to fall on Drona but Inna, out of a sense of responsibility, decided to protect Drona. And thus, instead of Drona, it was her that was stabbed by the poisoned and cursed needles as her and Herad collided and fell unto one another.
And for Herad to cover up the pain of the needle piercing the skin, the fall and her foot injury was more than enough to do the job. Hence, Inna wasn't able to notice the tiny prick of the fine needles when they collided because she probably focused on the pain on her foot as it painfully twisted slightly.
Then, with the poison now gathered on her foot, Inna at that time started to dance. And because of her strange dance which involved bending her body in different angles and exerting herself to maintain the position, the poison must've spread around her body along with the curses.
And thus, it now lead to her being examined by Frode and Raghnall having nothing to do but hope that his dear brother can somehow remove all of the poison in her body.
