Type-Moon, I'm a magician, is that true?

After yelling at Tsukiji Tobimaru, Aoko looked at Aiwen, who was silently drinking coffee as if it had nothing to do with her, and tried to keep her tone calm.

"Anyway, stay after school and I'll come find you, got it?"

After receiving Aiwen's response, Qingzi said nothing more, but turned around and quickly left the student council room.

Only three people were left confused.

"What's that girl doing?" Tobimaru gulped down a mouthful of cold water with an unhappy look on his face, muttering, "She wasn't this unreasonable before."

"However, Ewendong, you should wait for her after school and see what happens. If she does something wrong, I will help you get justice later."

Tsukiji Tobimaru slapped the table and spoke to Aiwen seriously.

"I understand, thank you." Aiwen took note of the kindness and thanked him sincerely.

He didn't feel uncomfortable with Qingzi's words. His only worry was how to tell the store manager about asking for leave. After all, it was not a good idea to ask for leave after only working for a few days.

……

……

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was dusk. Aiwen was the only one left in the classroom.

He looked at the sunset quietly, waiting for footsteps.

"Da da da."

The sound of hard-soled shoes hitting the floor came from a distance, and at the same time, a sharp female voice pierced into the warm atmosphere.

"You're really here? That's not bad, come with me."

Chapter 23 After School

Aiwen turned around and saw Aozaki Aoko standing there with her arms folded across her chest and an unhappy look on her face.

"Are you planning on confronting me head-on? Not bad. I like people who face difficulties head-on. Not threatening to run away or kidnap students is a plus, right?"

After saying that, Qingzi looked behind her and said, "Come with me. Since you haven't done anything tricky, it means you are also going to abide by the association's rules. If you cause damage to the classroom, it will be difficult to seal it up. Let's go to the rooftop."

Aiwen looked at Qingzi's back with some confusion. He didn't quite understand why she said that, but he still followed her quickly.

"Da da da……"

The two walked one after the other in the deserted school building, their footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.

A place that is usually bustling with people can be far more eerie than an abandoned house when it becomes empty.

But not now, the setting sun gives the campus its final warmth.

The sunset melts into gold, the sky is full of flying clouds, and the world is brilliant at this moment.

Aiwen turned his head and looked at the sinking sun, which was completely different from the moonlight.

The sunset was at its hottest moment, and the orange-red sunlight was spreading, draped over Aiwen's body like a thick curtain, showing a warm temperament that was rarely seen in ordinary days.

Those lake green eyes were mixed with the color of dusk, coated with a soft light, exuding a beauty that was completely different from the everyday coldness.

Aiwen seemed to be about to melt into the vast and boundless world, and the world was responding to him.

"Gu!" Qingzi, who accidentally turned around, was shocked. Her originally firm belief was shaken, and she even had an idea.

"Why not just let him go? Even if he's a magician, he hasn't done anything wrong, has he? He's usually a well-behaved person."

But Qingzi quickly threw this thought out of his head.

"Aoko, Aoko, don't be tempted! Even if you want to let him go, you have to do it after you've had sex with him. It's absolutely not okay to let him go without knowing the reason."

After slapping her face with both hands to get rid of distracting thoughts, Qingzi pursed her lips and tilted her head slightly.

She glanced at Aiwen beside her and found that he was still following her obediently and silently without saying a word.

It was only then that Qingzi realized something.

Aiwen always seemed so lonely and distant, out of tune with everything around him, and he was always just a bystander.

It seems like I have become the villain who bullies poor classmates.

Qingzi suddenly realized this.

A sense of guilt surged in her heart, and this feeling prompted Qingzi to take the initiative to bring up the topic.

She first looked around, then scratched her cheek and made a somewhat troubled sound.

"You're really obedient. You stayed when I told you to. Aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid? No way." Aiwen came back to his senses and stared at Qingzi's face. Under his gaze, a blush crept up the girl's cheeks.

Who could resist having their reflection reflected in those dazzling eyes? Once again, Aoko felt the fragility of her willpower, which she prided herself on.

Of course, the blush was just the reflection of the setting sun and had nothing to do with anything else, and Aoko would never admit her thoughts.

However, although I still speak stubbornly, I am still very happy to be trusted. This is also a kind of recognition.

It’s a pity that Aiwen is not an ordinary gentle person, and he doesn’t know how to be tactful.

"Because Aoko is very weak, 'fear' can only be used to describe those who are stronger than oneself."

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly became cold, as if a cold wind from the Arctic ice field was blowing.

Aoko's expression changed from excitement to daze, and then from daze to shock, until everything was covered by anger.

"Click!" Qingzi clenched her teeth, half bent over, and her whole body was shaking. She felt that the guy in front of her was too human. She was just like a fool before.

"I say, do you think it's fun to play tricks on me?"

These words seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, containing the girl's devastated mood, and the threat of a blade cutting her throat was no more than that.

The girl is now in a state of chaos, with her self-esteem being despised, the stupidity of being misunderstood, and the regrets of being fanciful.

"I never think it's fun to play tricks on people." Aiwen showed a look of incomprehension, and instead he blamed Qingzi for her slip of the tongue.

"It's Aozaki, your definition of teasing is too weird. I don't think telling the truth has anything to do with teasing."

"To tell the truth...haha, you're so brave..." Qingzi's mind was empty now, with only one thought left.

"Looks like I won't let you off the hook. Get ready to get hit by a truck tonight. Let my magic bullet give that mouth of yours a good 'massage'!"

Suddenly looking up, Aozaki Aoko raised her right hand, and the azure lines instantly lit up, covering her entire arm like a circuit diagram.

“Hiss~~Hiss~~”

Phenomena similar to electric sparks kept appearing on her wrist, and the source of magic power was also being mobilized to converge towards the opposite side. After passing through the magic circuit, it was pressed into the seal, driving the operation of the technique.

"It just so happens that we've reached the rooftop. I'm too lazy to ask you anything, so just let me vent a little first!"

Using her arms as gun barrels and magic power as ammunition, Aozaki Aoko uses magic power by violently ejecting it!

There was no need for any preparation or chanting. Just in terms of the speed of activation, Qingzi was confident that few could match him.

"Load."

The body's nervous system is replaced, magic circuits emerge, and the magic seal is used to perform the technique, allowing the preparation step to be skipped and the technique to be fired directly.

However, although she was angry, Qingzi still acted with restraint. She used simple ricocheting magic bullets and did not take advantage of the bonus of magic engravings.

Maybe it was because Aiwen was too non-threatening in her eyes. Compared to facing a life-and-death duel with a magician, Qingzi felt that it was more like a joke.

So there is no need to kill him directly, just defeat him.

"But even the simplest magic bullet has the impact of an ordinary person's full-strength punch. If you get hit by it, it will hurt so much that you cry."

Aozaki Aoko looked happy, as if she had let out a sigh of relief. She had not even considered the possibility of Aiwen resisting.

The first time Aozaki Aoko and Aiwen met was when she took him to visit the school. At that time, Aiwen had never used magic in front of her.

Afterwards, due to her own hesitation, Qingzi kept hiding from Aiwen and the others, so naturally she had no way of knowing Aiwen's situation.

It wasn't until today, when she opened the wooden door of the student union room, that she felt the presence of magic in Aiwen for the first time.

As mentioned before, in order to reduce trouble, Aiwen usually uses suggestion magic, which becomes his weakness.

Because the fluctuations of magic are difficult to conceal, and permanent spells are even more so.

Based on this fluctuation, Qingzi roughly judged the quality of Aiwen's magic circuit, and the conclusion was terrible.

This judgment gave her confidence.

The quality of a magic circuit is like whether a person is full or not. If a person who has been hungry for three days fights a person who has eaten every meal, the chances of winning are undoubtedly very low.

In addition, the fact that Aiwen is a magician has touched Aoko's bottom line.

After all, the unknown magicians broke into Misaki Town basically for the ownership of the spiritual vein, which can be compared to robbing property.

Of course, the taunting just now must also be taken into account.

The accumulation of various factors has led to the current situation. Qingzi believes that the advantage lies with me, and then he decisively attacks.

Now she was proud and showed her signature disdainful smile.

"Why is there no sound at all? Could that guy have been knocked unconscious?"

Chapter 24: Battle on the Rooftop

Aozaki Aoko is an excellent woman, tenacious, decisive, intelligent, able to distinguish right from wrong, cheerful and generous, naturally beautiful... In short, she has many good qualities.

But among these many advantages, one small shortcoming is particularly conspicuous, and I am also distressed by it.

That is, once you are extremely proud of yourself, there will always be small problems that make you go wrong.

Unfortunately, this magic battle seems to have not been able to avoid the characteristics of failure.

"Wait, why hasn't the magic power dissipated yet?" Aozaki Aoko was puzzled. She stared at the azure magic power that completely enveloped Aiwen, and a sense of unease that was out of control spread in her heart.

This phenomenon is abnormal. The nature of magic determines that it will not gather but not disperse.

The outside world is filled with magic (Mana), the amount of which is not on the same level as that generated within the magician's body, but the distribution of Mana is not uniform.

Except for some spiritual vein nodes or secret realms, the mana in most areas is not dense enough to be visible to the naked eye. In terms of density alone, it cannot compare to the magic power in the body (Odo) that has been compressed and converted through magic circuits.

Therefore, after the magic formula is activated, the released magic power will diffuse into the atmosphere and disappear after a few seconds. It will never condense into a ball like it does now.

"I underestimated him." Qingzi muttered softly, then immediately raised his hand and fired several more magic bullets.

"Pfft, pfft."

This time, Aozaki Aoko was concentrating and did not let down her guard. She kept staring at the situation on Aiwen's side and naturally heard some unusual sounds.

"Why does it sound like the sound of throwing sandbags?" Qingzi was a little impatient, or perhaps regretful.

She trusted her own judgment too much, and part of the reason was that she had rarely met a magician who seemed to be even worse than herself, which made her a little arrogant.

Therefore, she is still wearing her school uniform and does not have any magic costume on her body.

You should know that when she is fighting seriously, she will change into special clothes engraved with defensive spells, and she will also bring a few small gifts sponsored by Youzhu. Her combat effectiveness can be said to be increased several times.

The biggest difference is the magic capacity.

The quality of Aoko's magic circuits is below average, and the only special thing about her is the speed of magic flow. Therefore, when she fires spells that can be effective simply by the flow of magic, no one can compare to her.

But in contrast, her magic power conversion speed is pitifully slow, and it is impossible for her to temporarily convert and replenish magic power during battle.

In addition, the magic power she can store in her body is not sufficient. Once the battle lasts longer, she will soon be in a desperate situation with no magic power available.

This is the purpose of magic costumes.

Most magic costumes are just small props with limited impact on the battle situation, but there is a type of costume that is very popular among ordinary magicians.

That is a gift for storing/replenishing magic power, in other words, a power bank.

Without the assistance of the ceremonial equipment, Qingzi can only fire thirty magic bullets at most. If the power of the magic bullets is increased, the number will be even less.

"No more random launches."
