Chapter 26 My Youth Interview Story Has a Big Problem
"Divination is a spiritual interpretation that uses observations of the spirit world and the perception of omens to gain insight into fortune or future events."

"Divination is divided into intuitive divination, symbolic divination and ritual divination, which are used to obtain information beyond the scope of ordinary perception. Common forms include tarot cards, astrology, numerology, salt spreading, and pendulum divination. Each method has a unique interpretation framework and advantage range."

"I personally believe that divination has both spiritual and practical value, guiding personal decision-making and social behavior. From an arcane perspective, divination is an indispensable part of the arcane system. From a psychological perspective, divination can promote self-reflection and cognitive reconstruction, helping individuals cope with uncertainty."

The answer was spotless.

The scroll in the painting kept showing Ankua's prepared answers, and Quinn only had to read them like a singer looking at a prompter.

During these three days, Ankuya was naturally not idle.

Divination was not part of the arcane field he excelled in, but the memory Quinn displayed that day shocked Ankua and also aroused his competitive spirit.

For three days, Ankuya hardly slept in order to deal with the questions he might encounter in the interview.

He didn't know what Amemiya Ningning would ask during the interview. Only a few applicants made it to this stage of the interview, and she might ask different questions to each person, so it was impossible to circle the scope in advance like in a written test.

Memorizing answers to questions and flexibly interpreting arcane theoretical knowledge are two different things. Even if Quinn has a strong memory, it is impossible for him to master divination in three days.

So, he had to go there himself.

The arguments from Quinn's mouth may not have many eye-catching points, but they are well organized and concise, and no one can find any problems with them.

After all, what he said was the theory in various arcane works, which is the truth that has stood the test of time.

"You said you haven't received any systematic arcane education."

Amamiya Ningning looked at Quinn in surprise, "But I didn't expect your views to be so academic?"

"You flatter me."

Quinn smiled subtly. "It's precisely because I haven't received a systematic education that I'm particularly yearning for the academy. To prepare for the interview, I've also been cramming a lot of books, including Nostradamus's Carmen Divination."

"Is that why you look at him from time to time?"

Amemiya Ningning looked back at the oil painting on the wall. In the painting, Master Nozha was concentrating on studying an ancient scroll, his white hair covering his face, and he looked very focused.

"Indeed, this is the first time I've seen an oil painting that moves!"

Quinn quickly drew Amamiya Ningning's attention back: "I'm curious, why are the paintings in the academy moving? Are the people in the paintings real?"

"Master Nozha died a thousand years ago. How can this be true?"

Amamiya Nene gestured, "What's in the frame isn't just a painting, but fragments of many paintings connected together. The artist not only copied the scene, but also captured mystical information, such as souls and spirits."

Quinn nodded in sudden realization.

"You know quite a bit about divination." Amamiya Ningning thought for a while with her chin propped up, and suddenly she kicked her calves, making the sofa chair turn around.

When the chair turned back, there was a basketball-sized crystal ball in her arms. She put it on the table with a "Hey whoosh".

"Since you know so much, why not show me how to do it once~" Amamiya Nene said with a smile, "Use me as your divination target. The accuracy of your divination will determine whether you can get the job, okay?"

"what?"

Quinn was stunned.

Me? Divination?

If you ask me what is written on the first page of the "Book of Changes", I can only answer that human nature is good at birth. You want me to tell fortunes?
Damn, it was so professional that people took it seriously!
He subconsciously looked up. It was obvious that Ankuya in the painting hadn't guessed what was going on either. Her mouth moved slightly, and the shape of her mouth clearly said "crazy woman".
"Why are you looking at him? Master Noza is not good at fortune-telling for humans. Look at me, look at me~"

Amemiya Ningning snapped her fingers without even turning her head, and the oil painting instantly turned pitch black.

The gunman hired by Quinn was kicked out of the examination room!

"When fortune-telling, you have to observe the target carefully. You can't be distracted."

Quinn's throat moved, and he wanted to cry but couldn't.

Lao An, don't go!!!

I have no choice but to bite the bullet.

".Then I'll give it a try. I can't guarantee it will work."

"You know so much, there must be no problem."

Amemiya Ningning smiled maliciously.

Quinn had no choice but to stand up, recalling how those mysterious fortune tellers in the movies used crystal balls. He held the crystal ball in his hands and asked seriously, "Ms. Cavendish, what do you want to predict?"

"Hmm~?" The smile on her face became more playful. She put her finger on her chin and raised her head. After thinking for a moment, she said:

"Then can you tell me where my dad is now?"

"Well, Crystal! Please tell me where Mr. Cavendish is—mummy mummy hum-de-gonami hum."

Quinn rubbed the crystal ball with his hands and kept chanting strange spells.

He decided to try to pick a direction from east, south, west or north. If he guessed wrong, he would argue that he actually had a poor sense of direction.

The wise general said yes.

But what he didn't expect was that the system that had been silent for a long time suddenly came back to life!
【Ding--】

[Unknown item detected, loading the illustration.]

A blue dotted line framed the crystal ball in his hand. As Quinn stared in astonishment, several lines of small words gradually emerged: [Fish Tank]

[A fish tank worth only 8 silver coins.]

[It was sold in a grocery store in a certain market. The buyer was a poor fortune teller who couldn't afford an expensive crystal ball, so he decided to use a fish tank to deceive people.]

Although this fish tank looks like a crystal ball, feels like a crystal ball, and is often mistaken for a crystal ball, it is not a crystal ball. While it can act like a crystal ball in the hands of certain individuals, it is mostly just a fish tank.

[This encounter was a joke from fate, so the brave man chose to raise his sword to fate for the sake of the cake.]

Quinn's eyes widened. What the hell? This is a fish tank?!

"What's wrong?" Amamiya Ningning looked at him with a smile, as if she was looking forward to the result.

"Are you having any problems?"

"Uh, no."

Quinn was shocked and confused. Could it be that Grindelwald's teacher was deceived and bought a fake crystal ball?
"That's it. This one."

"What is this?"

"This crystal ball is a fish tank."

After saying that, Quinn waved his hands and said, "I can't tell fortunes."

Amamiya Ningning's smile suddenly froze.

After a long time, he said:
".Is it?"

Her tone was calm, and her expression betrayed neither belief nor doubt. Her sweet, seductive expression, that of a mature older sister with a hint of girlishness, vanished, like a mask being removed.

She curled up her legs, her movements clearly unchanged, yet now she asked like a lifeless doll, "Why? This is clearly a crystal ball."

"I've seen the same model, and it only costs eight silver coins." Quinn replied stubbornly, "Anyway, this is the fish tank."

"Put your hand up."

"Where to put it?"

"Fish tank."

Quinn obediently put his hand on it.

I just touched it for a while, it shouldn't be dangerous.

"Ask me, where is your hometown?" said Amamiya Ningning.

"Huh?" Quinn felt something was amiss. "Is this related to the interview?"

"related."

"Where is my hometown?" He had no choice but to ask Amemiya Ningning.

You are talking nonsense. Can you predict the earth?
Even the sun can’t identify it, but you can. You must be more awesome than the God of Creation, right?

Quinn, who believes he has the protection of the Demon King, is fearless.

Amamiya Ningning stared at him with eyes as cold as black jade, without even glancing at the crystal ball.

Just when Quinn was about to get scared by being stared at, she suddenly smiled again.

This smile was like melting ice and snow, and the gentle beauty with a smile just now was back in an instant, as if nothing had happened.

"Very good, your interview is over. Go back and wait for notification."

"what?"

Quinn thought it was over, he lost his job.

"Don't you need to ask more questions? Actually, I am good at washing clothes, cooking, cleaning, speaking, learning, joking and singing."

"No need, the interview ends here. Teacher Jacob will see you off." Amamiya Ningning sat on the sofa and shook her hand at him.

"Then I hope we can be colleagues next time we meet. Thank you for the interview, Ms. Cavendish."

"Bye~"

Bang.

The office door closed softly.

After a while.

Amamiya Ningning stretched out her long legs, and her arched feet wrapped in black stockings deftly hooked the telephone receiver.

"Hey~ Mr. Jacob, can you tell the other interviewees not to come? Okay, okay, thank you. I'll treat you to grilled Morass frog next time~"

After hanging up the phone, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she slid her feet lightly, making the sofa chair spin around with her.

Round and round, like a little girl.

"It's so expensive, I can't afford divination. The price of one million soul fragments, where on earth did you come from? Hehe~"
