Although Sharon's experiment could not completely overthrow the fire element theory, at least it proved indirectly that this theory, which has been used for three hundred years, had loopholes. This made professor Claire waver.
Reiner's next experiment completely denied the traditional combustion theory. Seeing it with her own eyes, she was completely stunned.
She felt dizzy. This was a magic backlash caused by the waver of willpower. Such a situation was very rare, and it only appeared when a Mage's foundation belief was impacted.
It was said that in ancient times, due to the establishment of many innovative systems, there were many mages who died due to such impacts; their heads would directly explode. However, in modern times, with the gradual improvement of people's acceptance ability, no matter how novel theories were, they would not lead to such scenes. But backlash like this happened from time to time.
"Professor Claire, are you all right?"
Reiner hurriedly held professor Claire. At this time, he noticed that this woman's body was a bit too light and soft. After helping her sit down, Reiner hurriedly moved his hands away.
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy."
Professor Claire had no time to care about whether Reiner took the opportunity to take advantage of her, she was a little distracted. She began to realize that her initial stern words might be the resistance from the bottom of her heart that she was unwilling to accept the overthrow of her familiar theory.
"My water bottle..."
Hearing what professor Claire said, Sharon looked at the water bottle by the table and hurriedly brought it over.
This was the water bottle she carried with her. According to Reiner's memory, it should be some kind of special potion made by professor Claire herself, which could cure her chronic illness.
But when he opened the lid of the pot, Reiner smelled a slightly familiar smell.
"Sweet?"
It was a rich and sweet smell. Reiner saw that after she poured the brown-black liquid from the water bottle into a cup and drank it, she recovered a little. He couldn't help being curious.
"Uh, professor Claire, can I taste some of your potion?"As soon as Reiner said what he said, the atmosphere on the scene became awkward for a while.
Sharon didn't know what to say, and professor Claire's face reddened.
"Are you making fun of me, Mister Principal?"She said rhetorically, seemingly to think that Reiner was taking the opportunity to tease her.
"No, no, no, because I feel that I seem to have seen it somewhere before, so I want to confirm it. If I have offended you in any way, I apologize."
Reiner explained in a hurry. He didn't want the good impression that he had built up to be ruined instantly.
Perhaps Claire had never seen Reiner having such a humble attitude, or maybe she was a little embarrassed for her arbitrariness, she poured a little potion into an empty cup and gave it to Reiner."Let me make it clear first, this doesn't mean that I believe your words. I'm giving it to you because you begged me."
Hearing what professor Claire said, Reiner smiled helplessly, then picked up the water cup and took a sip of the potion inside.
Immediately, it was as if some kind of spark had been lit up in Reiner's mind, his eyes widened slightly, and he froze in place.
Seeing his appearance, professor Claire hurriedly put away her water bottle and muttered to herself.
"He wanted to drink it himself, I didn't force him..."
"Principal?"
Sharon waved her hand in front of Reiner. Only then did Reiner recover and look back at the brown-black liquid in the cup.
If Reiner's taste didn't have a problem, this should be some kind of special sugar water with moderate sweetness.
And the chronic illness of professor Claire, who needed regular sugar supplements, was probably low blood sugar levels.
But these were not the main points. Reiner thought of something else
