Magical User Aozaki Aoko Case Files

What is the so-called root cause?

In the magician's answer, the root is the cause of the appearance of all things, the so-called first mover.

If you ask Aozaki Touko, she will say that the root cause is the record of Akasha that she is pursuing.

According to Qingzi's own understanding, the so-called root is the ultimate knowledge. Because no matter what you want to know, as long as you can find the source of the problem in the root, you can immediately get the "result" of the problem being solved from this "cause". It is the most powerful encyclopedia in the world.

There is everything here, and there is nothing here.

Aoko felt that her "self" was constantly melting. She could not feel anything in this ultimate nothingness, but she seemed to know everything.

Her pain was gone, her wounds were gone, as her broken body sat somewhere between existence and non-existence.

Aoko wanted very much to fall into a deep sleep, but a voice deep inside her told her that she absolutely could not do that.

If a normal magus reaches the source, he will be instantly overwhelmed by the infinite cause of the source, and then be assimilated and disappear in an instant. However, the concept of "human" of Aozaki Aoko is undoubtedly mixed with some elements that do not come from the vortex of the source.

It is this unknown element that firmly maintains her self and allows her to survive.

As long as she continues to "live", the "rewards" she takes away from the vortex of origin will increase...

What did Aoko want? She couldn't remember clearly... In the confusion, Aoko seemed to see the magic seal of the Aozaki family, and seemed to remember the fifth magic that her grandfather cast on the door...

magic...

Oh, and she's a magician.

Aozaki Aoko woke up immediately, and she immediately had a physical form in the vortex of origin.

She immediately touched her wound, but she only felt smooth skin, and the wound disappeared as if it had never existed. Qingzi wanted to see something, but she could not see anything as if she was blind, and yet she seemed to see everything.

I need clothes, Aoko thought.

The next moment, Qingzi's previous clothes were put back on her.

Aoko immediately understood the mechanism here, and she began to operate the magic seal with all her strength, seeking all the knowledge about the fifth magic.

Perhaps it was because she had gotten rid of the psychedelic state in this chaos, Qingzi suddenly felt a strong rejection, as if the vortex of origin did not allow such a strong self to exist.

However, Aoko has already begun to absorb the secrets of the fifth magic. She wants to master complete magic that surpasses her grandfather's before she is completely stripped of her roots!

As Qingzi asked with all her strength, the magic mark that originally only existed on Qingzi's right arm now spread to her entire left arm. Moreover, even the magic mark on her right arm became more dense, and the glowing patterns became more bizarre.

The severe pain that etched the nerves occurred in Qingzi's arms, but Qingzi didn't care about it. She just wanted to laugh out loud, and she did so.

The fifth magic mark covered her arms and began to spread to Qingzi's back. However, when the marks extending from her arms just connected to her back, Qingzi, who was laughing wildly, was ejected.

"Ouch!"

Qingzi sat down on the ground. She rubbed the part of her spine that was broken by the primate killer and found that it was intact. The other wounds on her body also disappeared, as if she had never been injured.

Qingzi stood up again and clapped her hands. Then she looked around and found herself in the cave where she was before, but the stinky dog ​​that had severely injured her had disappeared.

She felt around her waist and found her spell material bag was still there, with the spell materials inside inexplicably replenished.

The spell book was still there. She remembered something and opened the book to check the location of the pages of the scrolls she had used. However, she found that the pages of the scrolls that had been used were restored, but the spells on the scrolls were gone.

Qingzi seemed to understand something. She closed her eyes and felt inward. Her body was now extremely healthy, even stronger than before she entered the cave.

The fragments of the magic web were still there, and Qingzi breathed a sigh of relief.

As she lowered her head, Qingzi's hair fell down. Qingzi grabbed her long hair and looked at it, and found that her hair had turned into a flame-like red.

Why is this? Is this some kind of side effect of the Fifth Magic?

Aoko recalled that in her "previous life", the hair of Aozaki Aoko in the original time and space turned red after she activated the fifth magic. But now her hair remained red under normal circumstances. Maybe this is a sign that she has fully mastered magic?

These are all insignificant little things, Qingzi thought confidently.

She looked back and found that the entrance that was originally there had disappeared. This was just the end of an ordinary cave.

Grandfather won't blame me, right? Qingzi thought guiltily, since she destroyed the entrance to the source, all the magicians in the world must want to kill her, right?

But it doesn't matter. Aoko thought confidently that there are no more than five magicians in the world who can pose a threat to her.

She walked out of the cave with brisk steps, but she didn't notice that the cave behind her disappeared every time she walked forward.

When Qingzi returned to her grandfather's basement workshop, she looked back and found that the cave had completely disappeared.

Maybe this is like a hole in the world, Qingzi thought with a sigh. Now that her grandfather is gone and the cave of the origin has disappeared, is she really a loser?

But she has obtained the complete fifth magic, and even formed this magic into a complete seal of law. This should be considered as bringing honor to the family, right?

Thinking of this, the newly born fifth magician Aozaki Aoko no longer felt guilty. She hummed a popular song that had not yet appeared in this era while "cleaning" her grandfather's magic workshop.

Since Lao Deng was gone, it would be a pity to leave these inheritances in this dark basement. Qingzi packed up the remaining books and various gifts in her grandfather's workshop without any guilt, and prepared to dig another basement in her and Chengzi's villa...

Huh? Qingzi frowned and thought, is there something wrong...?

Well, forget it, don't think too much at this time. Aoko happily identified the functions of her grandfather's various magic heritages, sorted them into categories and piled them in the center of the room, waiting for the right time to call a car to transport them away...

---Dividing line---

"Hey, Orange," a cute little boy with golden hair walked beside Orange and asked, "Is your sister strong?"

"She is the one who inherited the fifth magic mark," Orange said as they walked, "and she also has some strange magic tricks, so of course she is very powerful."

"Will we win?" asked the blond boy. "Will you win, Orange?"

"It will win."

Orange said this in a firm and certain tone, as if something had already been accomplished.

A confident smile appeared on her beautiful face. Orange looked ahead, as if she had seen her sister who had been defeated by her and Beo not long after inheriting the magic mark.

Chapter 16 Red Shadow

Aoko used magic to seal and encrypt her grandfather's workshop again, and then rode her motorcycle to the Kuonji residence on the mountain.

The night wind is a little cold, but Qingzi feels very comfortable at the moment. Perhaps the fruits of victory are so sweet?

Thinking of this, Qingzi's mouth corners couldn't help but curl up slightly. After a moment, she couldn't help but burst into laughter, and her silver bell-like laughter echoed on the winding mountain road.

However, sometimes, as the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. Just as Qingzi was happily heading to her residence, an ominous shadow appeared in her sight.

Qingzi, who was riding on the motorcycle, suddenly felt her heart skip a beat, as if it was being tightened.

She should have expected that this guy might show up, or rather, because she encountered the primate killer and had gone through great pains to get through it, she thought this guy would not show up.

This was obviously too naive. Qingzi thought with regret that she must never make such a mistake in the future, if there is a future.

She stared at the red shadow warily. It stood alone on the side of the road a few hundred meters away from the motorcycle. It looked roughly like a human, but her face was not clear. It was covered with a tattered red robe, and its hood covered its face.

Shouldn't this guy show up before I get complete magic? Qingzi thought, isn't it a little late for this guy to come to me now?

The red shadow remained silent, but Qingzi could feel that it was staring at her motionlessly, even though she couldn't see its eyes.

Aoko could feel that the shadow's gaze was filled with hatred. This hatred was hatred for magic, and even more so for magicians.

Because in this world, so-called magic is the enemy of the world and even more so the enemy of mankind.

Anyone who is about to comprehend magic will be killed by this red shadow.

When she was about several dozen meters away from the shadow, she stopped the motorcycle, supported herself on one leg and looked at the red shadow vigilantly.

The shadow didn't move, as if it was assessing the threat posed by Aozaki Aoko, or the chances of success in killing her.

Qingzi had an illusion that she seemed to feel that the shadow was confused in some way, as if it didn't know what to do now.

Is it the embodiment of the restraining force, or is it a guardian who has signed a contract with the restraining force?

However, since it had no intention of attacking Qingzi now, Qingzi would not act rashly. Because even in her memories of her "previous life", she did not have any detailed information about the red shadow, so it would be very unwise to attack it rashly.

After the two sides stared at each other for a few minutes, the red shadow gradually became blurred, and then with a gust of wind, it completely disappeared on the spot.

"whispering sound!"

Aoko made a dissatisfied sound. She had been mentally prepared to fight Alaya's lackey for three hundred rounds, but she didn't expect this guy to run away without doing anything.

Maybe he sensed my current mastery of magic? Qingzi thought to herself with a little arrogance, then calmed down.

The so-called magic is not omnipotent, and it does not mean that the combat power of a magician is necessarily stronger than that of a magus or servant.

Gem Onzelrich is a positive example of a powerful magician, while the first magician, whose bloodline is the only one left, is a negative example.

Magic only allows the magician to do some unique things in this world, and these things cannot be replicated by other people. So even if you become a magician, there will always be many short-sighted people who come to try their luck.

However, Aoko's magic is luckier than the first magic, and it greatly improves combat effectiveness, or basically makes her invincible, as long as Aoko is not arrogant to the point of being completely insolent.

Aoko restarted her motorcycle, made sure her helmet was on, and continued toward the top of the mountain.

---Dividing line---

After parking the car, Aoko took out the key and opened the door of the Kuonji residence.

The house was quiet and she didn't hear any movement of her roommate.

Hasn't he returned home yet? Qingzi guessed.

She took off her coat and shoes, put them away, put on comfortable indoor slippers, and walked to the living room. Kuonji Residence is a more "classical" Western-style building compared to the modern buildings of this era.

Many of the facilities inside retain the flavor of the last century.

For example, many houses in Misaki-cho now use central heating or newer electric heaters, but the Kuonji Residence still retains the structure of fireplaces and chimneys.

Aoko came to the living room wearing slippers and found her roommate, Kuonji Yuzu, sitting on the carpet next to the fireplace and sleeping against the cabinet.

On the floor next to her lay a half-read book and an empty cup of tea.

Aoko fixed her eyes on the girl. She had slender limbs and fair skin that seemed to have no knowledge of sunlight.

Her hair color, without a single trace of other colors, is darker than Aoko's previous hair. The school uniform of the girls' school always reminds people of the black clothes of nuns, but this color tone suits this girl very well.

If Aoko were to make her own judgment, she would say that the match was a bit too much, making her petite magic teacher look a bit unreal.

But she also admitted that the appearance of Kuonji Yuju was a kind of pure beauty, like a daffodil that had grown and bloomed without any contact with the filthy outside world for more than a decade. It was a scene that could usually only be seen in human dreams.

Qingzi was somewhat reluctant to break this landscape-like scene, but it would definitely not be a good idea to continue leaving Youzhu here, after all, he might catch a cold.

Qingzi walked forward and carefully held Youzhu in her arms like a princess, then used the magic hand to put away the tea set and books and put them where they belonged.

It was the first time she held the girl up like this, and Aoko was very surprised at how light this fairytale witch was. Perhaps it was because her own magic circuits had inadvertently enhanced her physical abilities, but at the time, the weight of this usually serious and slightly cold magic teacher still made her a little worried. Was this guy really eating the food she cooked?
