Fantasy in the world of crossover anime

As Mizuki Kaho approached, she smiled and said to Mikami Hiroyu, "Not bad, you managed to spot me, Mikami Hiroyu-kun." Mizuki Kaho raised her voice when she said "Mikami Hiroyu-kun."

Li Xiaolang only noticed Guan Yuege's approach after being alerted by Yu Shenhaoyu, which made Li Xiaolang more wary of Guan Yuege.

"School's out, aren't you going home yet? I remember you're Daidouji Tomoyo, you're Li Xiaolang, and this is Kinomoto Sakura, right?" Mizuki Kaho said after a moment's thought.

The three people who were called on all nodded. Yu Shen Haoyu then took over the conversation, saying, "Teacher, we're leaving soon. Goodbye, teacher."

After saying that, Mikami Hiroyu pulled Li Xiaolang toward the school gate. Before leaving, Mikami Hiroyu gave Tomoyo and Sakura a look.

When Tomoyo and Sakura caught a glimpse of Hiroyuki Mikami's gaze, they said goodbye to Kahoko Mizuki. As soon as they stepped out of the school gate, they saw Hiroyuki Mikami and Syaoran Li waiting for them.

After they left, Kaho Mizuki watched Hiroyu Mikami's departing figure and smiled, "Hiroyu Mikami is so young yet he already has more magical power than me. It seems the future is real. However, the aura on Hiroyu Mikami, besides the magic of the Clow Cards, also gives me a feeling that I want to follow him all the time. Is this what Father meant by the reincarnation of a god?"

"I sensed the presence of Clow Cards when I passed by the shrine today. Sakura and Tomoyo, do you want to go?" Mikami Hiroyu kept his promise to Tomoyo, inviting her along with the Clow Cards.

Li Xiaolang didn't understand why Yu Shen Haoyu had told Sakura about the whereabouts of the Clow Cards. Wasn't Sakura a rival? Why would he tell his rival information? Although he wanted to ask Yu Shen Haoyu now, the timing wasn't right. He would have to ask him when he got home.

Upon hearing Hiroyu Mikami tell her the bottom path of the Clow Cards, Tomoyo's slight unhappiness about Hiroyu watching Kaho Mizuki during class dissipated. It seemed Hiroyu had kept his promise to her. However, the next second, Tomoyo realized she hadn't brought the clothes she made, and couldn't help but sigh with regret.

Mikami Hiroyu, along with Sakura and the others, arrived at Tsukimori Shrine, the place where he had a precognitive dream the previous night had indicated the appearance of the Clow Cards.

As soon as Mikami Hiroyu entered Tsukimine Shrine, Mizuki Kaho followed in his footsteps. A playful smile appeared on Mizuki Kaho's face. "I knew you'd come here. Let me see for myself the power of the person my father spoke of whom I would serve in the future."

As soon as Mikami Hiroyu and his companions entered the Tsukimine Shrine, only Tomoyo didn't sense the presence of the Clow Cards. The other three clearly felt their presence.

Just as Li Xiaolang was about to use the compass to find the Clow Cards, the Clow Cards appeared before them first, but in the form of a maze, which greatly disappointed Li Xiaolang.

Upon seeing the maze that appeared, Li Xiaolang spoke up, "This is a Themaze, a magic card that can transform space into a giant maze. The only way to break it is to go into this maze."

Sakura and Tomoyo were speechless. Was nagging about navigating such a massive maze a joke?! When the mystery card was activated, Mikami Hiroyu sensed someone coming to see him. But he couldn't find them in time and ended up in the maze.

"Is there no other way but to get out of the maze?" Sakura asked, unwilling to give up.

Yu Shen Haoyu smiled and said, "Not necessarily. Sakura, you go first this time! Let me see how much you've improved lately."

Sakura's "Yay!" expresses her current mood.

Sakura looked up at the sky as if she had thought of a good idea. She took out the sealing key, unsealed it, and then used the Flying Card.

Seeing this, Mikami Hiroyu said, "Flying into the air? That's a good idea, but Sakura, you're oversimplifying the Mystery Card."

As soon as Sakura flew out of the maze's height, the maze's height also increased accordingly. Seeing that it was impossible to break through from the air, Sakura slowly flew down, and the maze's height returned to its original height the instant she landed.

Sakura was at her wit's end and looked pitifully at Mikami Hiroyu, saying, "Hiroyu, you do it. I guess the other Clow Cards I have aren't enough either."

Seeing that Sakura had given up, Hiroyu Mikami had no choice but to take matters into his own hands. Although he still sensed someone watching him, there was nothing he could do now. It had been a long time since school ended, and Sakura and Tomoyo's parents were getting worried if they didn't go home soon.

Yuu Mikami has several ways to solve the current maze, but he hesitates when deciding which Clow Card to use. Yuu Mikami has four Clow Cards that can end his current predicament: Power, Sword, Dissolve, and Shadow.

Yu Shen Haoyu smiled faintly, "Forget it, let them decide for themselves. Power, Sword, Disappearance, and Shadow, come out."

After Mikami Hiroyu finished speaking, the four Clow Cards flew out one after the other from their temporary new home, which was Tomoyo's specially customized card pack.

"Which of you can help us get out of this maze quickly?" Mikami Hiroyu asked the Clow Cards.

If it weren't for these violent freaks, Shadow would be a great choice. However, with these three violent freaks around, Shadow obediently flew back to its new home.

The remaining three cards were contested. The Power Card proactively transformed into its spirit form and punched the wall in front of it. If the Power Card could previously lift objects weighing 10 tons, it could now lift a large aircraft carrier.

The Power Card treated the walls in front of it like a needle touching paper; it tore through them with a single touch. Soon, the walls in front of the Power Card were easily reduced to rubble. Seeing that the Power Card had escaped, the other two Clow Cards showed no mercy. Each used its own power to destroy the walls on a different side than the Power Card's.

In no time, only one wall remained of the entire maze; the other three had vanished. In terms of efficiency, the Power Cards were first, the Sword Cards second, and the Elimination Cards third. However, in terms of aesthetics, the Elimination Cards were first, the Sword Cards second, and the Power Cards third. Why? Because the side destroyed by the Elimination Cards was completely empty, the Sword Cards resembled doors, and the Power Cards were just rubble.

After completing their tasks, the three Clow Cards ran to Mikami Hiroyu to claim credit. After praising them one by one, they transformed back into playing cards and flew into the card holder he carried.

Sakura and Li Xiaolang both swallowed hard as they looked at the maze, now reduced to just one wall. Li Xiaolang was somewhat at ease, as he and Mikami Hiroyu often captured Clow Cards together, so he knew a little about Mikami Hiroyu's power. However, this was the first time Sakura had seen Mikami Hiroyu use three Clow Cards simultaneously, compared to her ability to use only one. But Sakura quickly cheered herself up; hadn't Hiroyu said she hadn't been using Clow Cards for very long? She would have such magical power someday too.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Choice

When Hiroyuki let Sakura go first, Tomoyo took out her video recorder and recorded everything that happened. Tomoyo comforted Sakura when she failed, but when Hiroyuki used the three Clow Cards to solve the dungeon, Tomoyo didn't know why, but seeing how strong Hiroyuki was, she felt happy too.

"Alright, stop spacing out, let's go outside and talk about which way we should go."

The three of them pointed in unison to the side where the cards were broken, since that was the easiest way to get there. Yu Shen Haoyu smiled and led the way.

After walking for only about 3 minutes, Yu Shen Haoyu saw the shrine as he took his last step out of the maze. He knew he had left the space of the maze cards. When Li Xiaolang was the last to emerge, the maze cards changed like this, probably because they were preparing for this maze of the heart.

"Sakura, it's your turn. I don't want to go through this again. I bet you guys are getting hungry too." When Mikami Hiroyu wasn't sure if the observing gaze was friendly, he had no choice but to let Sakura seal it.

Sakura, holding her wand, said to the original form of the Clow Card, "Return to your original form, Clow Card."

The mystery card was successfully sealed and then flew into Mikami Hiroyu's hands. Sakura already knew this, so she didn't say anything.

Looking at the setting sun, Hiroyuki Mikami said to Tomoyo and Sakura, "You two should go home now! Your parents must be worried about you."

Sakura and Tomoyo glanced at the sky and knew it was getting late. If they didn't go home soon, their parents would worry. Sakura and Tomoyo said goodbye to Hiroyuki Mikami and Syaoran Li and quickly left.

Seeing that Tomoyo and Sakura had left, Yu Shen Haoyu said to Li Xiaolang beside him, "Brother, you should go back first. I have something to take care of." He then used the Skip Card to leave. Li Xiaolang laughed and scolded, "Why do I feel like you're the older brother and I'm the younger brother?"

Mikami Hiroyu jumped several times in a row and arrived at the back of the shrine, where he met the owner who had sensed his gaze from the beginning.

"Ms. Mizuki, how could it be you?" Mikami Hiroyu exclaimed in surprise! Mikami Hiroyu used his jump card to catch up with the person who was leaving. After landing, he found that it was the new substitute math teacher, Mizuki Kaho. Mikami Hiroyu was very surprised to find that Mizuki Kaho had been secretly watching him ever since he entered the shrine.

When Mizuki Kaho realized she'd been caught peeking, she wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, she smiled and said, "Why couldn't it be me? Can't I just come and see how powerful the person who changed the future really is?" Surprisingly, Mikami Hiroyu stared at that smile for a few seconds, completely mesmerized. He had to admit, Mizuki Kaho was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. Luckily, Mizuki Kaho didn't notice him daydreaming, or she would have laughed at him.

"According to Teacher Guan Yue, you have the ability to foresee the future?" Yu Shen Hao Yu was even more surprised.

Although he also possessed precognitive abilities, he could only foresee the Clow Cards that would appear in the near future, and he assumed Sakura's precognitive abilities were similar. However, the sudden appearance of someone who could foresee the future, standing before Mikami Hiroyu, surprised him greatly.

Furthermore, Kaho Mizuki said she changed the future. It seems that her claim of having precognitive abilities is true.

"Mr. Mizuki, when did you find out that the future had changed?" Mikami Hiroyu asked again to confirm.

Kaho Mizuki walked to the cherry blossom tree, and after a moment of recollection, said, "It was about ten years ago, but I forget the exact time."

Upon hearing Kaho Mizuki's words, Hiroyu Mikami confirmed that Kaho Mizuki, the substitute math teacher who appeared before him, truly possessed precognitive abilities.

He was born 10 years ago. If he hadn't suddenly appeared in the world, the world would be revolving around Sakura Kinomoto. But because of him, the original future of this world changed. So when Kaho Mizuki said that the future changed 10 years ago, Hiroyu Mikami was certain that what Kaho Mizuki said was true.

"So, will you find me in 10 years? And what will the future be like?" Mikami Hiroyu asked.

Kaho Mizuki stroked her chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "I think you know why I only came to find you 10 years later. As for what the future holds, I can't tell you; you know the reason yourself."

Although Mizuki Kaho essentially told him nothing, Mikami Hiroyu still gleaned a considerable amount of information, including the answers to both questions. Both were related to fate; everything was arranged by the world's consciousness.

Unbeknownst to Hiroyu Mikami, Kaho Mizuki was concealing some truths. For example, she would soon have an unusual relationship with him. Also, she had been commissioned by Eriol Hiiragi, the reincarnation of Clow Reed. Mizuki had cleverly hidden these details from the past, even though Hiroyu would learn of them in the future. However, now was not the time to discuss these matters.

"However, you gave me a big surprise."

"A surprise? What surprise?" Yu Shenhao asked curiously.

"I didn't expect your magic power to be so much stronger than I anticipated. I estimated that your magic power was slightly higher than mine, but not by much. But I didn't expect your magic power to be this strong. I think it's probably related to you capturing the Clow Cards. Don't deny it yet. Because I noticed that your magic power increased again after you captured that Clow Card just now," Mizuki Kaho said with great certainty.

Mikami Hiroyu had to admire Mizuki Kaho's observational skills. Since he had been discovered, he didn't bother to hide it anymore. "You're right, I can indeed increase my magical power by capturing the Clow Cards. I didn't expect your observation to be so keen."

Upon receiving confirmation from Mikami Hiroyu, Mizuki Kaho was surprised: "There are 52 Clow Cards. You probably have 15-20 Clow Cards now. Plus, Kinomoto Sakura probably has about 10 more. So there are about 20 more Clow Cards still out there. At this rate, how much will your magical power increase?"

However, after recalling her father's words, Mizuki Kaho was no longer so surprised by the astonishingly powerful magic of Mikami Hiroyu.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mikami Hiroyu took his leave. Two Clow Cards flew out from Mikami Hiroyu's body and disappeared. Not only did the Clow Cards disappear, but Mikami Hiroyu also disappeared. Soon, Mizuki Kaho could no longer sense Mikami Hiroyu's presence.

Kaho Mizuki couldn't help but think: It seems this person destined for me has become quite adept at using the Clow Cards. The future looks very interesting, doesn't it? I really look forward to seeing what choice Hiroyu Mikami will make in the future—her or me? And if he chooses me...

Chapter Twenty-Three: Tomoyo's Hobbies

There wasn't a cloud in the sky, not a breath of wind, not a trace of coolness. The sun blazed overhead, and all the trees stood there listlessly and languidly. It all seemed to be announcing the arrival of summer.

With their homeroom teacher, Yoshiyuki Terada, announcing the start of summer vacation, the students, though dreading the sweltering heat outside, were already planning where to go, whether to go with friends or parents, some to work part-time, and of course, some, like the Mikami brothers, to stay home.

Although everyone has different goals, aren't we all happy?

Although Yu Shen Haoyu stayed home and didn't go out, he also stopped playing around. The appearance of Clow Cards wasn't as frequent as it used to be, which made sense.

The first Clow Card to appear was forced to cause trouble because its own magical power was insufficient, hoping someone would subdue it. Therefore, the remaining Clow Cards should have ample magical power. So, instead of blindly searching for Clow Cards, one should stay home to strengthen one's power and deepen one's understanding of them.

Currently, Yu Shen Haoyu has 18 Clow Cards in his hand: Water, Fire, Power, Fight, Jump, Sword, Shadow, Illusion, Disappear, Big, Small, Time, Flower, Creation, Mirror, Title, Mist, and Mystery. He can now use 6 Clow Cards at a time, ever since he could open 5 Clow Cards simultaneously.

Yuu felt that using five Clow Cards simultaneously made no difference; he could use them perfectly. However, after five, when he tried to use the sixth, he felt a bit strained. Although he could provide the magic power of the sixth Clow Card, he could only provide magic power, not use it at will. As for the seventh card, Yuu couldn't even name it.

The Clow Cards themselves possess considerable magical power, especially since the earlier they followed Mikami Hiroyu, the stronger their magical power becomes.

Yu Shen Haoyu didn't know if he had surpassed the first master of the Clow Cards, but he estimated that even if he hadn't, he wouldn't be far off. His magical power was already among the top three in this world. If Clow Reed's magical power was stronger than his, then Clow Reed would truly be an absurdly powerful person.

On the one hand, Mikami Hiroyu deepened his control over the Clow Cards, which was easy. Because the Clow Cards all had a good relationship with Mikami Hiroyu, they didn't resist his control much; on the contrary, they all actively accepted it, and there was even a hint of them vying for his favor.

The first point was manageable, but the second was a bit more difficult. Yu Shen Haoyu discovered that his magical power was increasing rather rapidly; if it weren't for his ten years of prior experience, he would have already run into trouble. He sensed something was wrong as he drew his seventh Clow Card.

Yu Shen Haoyu discovered that although his magic power was vast, it was not very pure. When he tried to use it, he could often only mobilize a small portion of it.

To solve this major problem, Mikami Hiroyu spends nearly eight hours every day purifying his magical power. He also discovers that his magical power gradually becomes purer each time he uses the sixth Clow Card simultaneously.

After discovering that drawing all six Clow Cards at once would purify his magical power, Mikami Hiroyu basically used them in rotation throughout the day. After all, if he only used those six cards a day, the other Clow Cards would look at him a little strangely.

Thus, Yuu Mikami simultaneously used all six Clow Cards while purifying his own magical power. Although he was exhausted every day, Yuu Mikami felt that he had become more adept at manipulating magical power, and at the same time, the magical power of the Clow Cards also became stronger as Yuu Mikami's magical power became purer.

This continued until the summer festival. In fact, Mikami Hiroyu was slowly feeling the threshold of opening the 7th Clow Card, but he had to stop because of the festival flyer for Tsukimine Shrine brought by Mizuki Kaho.

During the time that Mikami Hiroyu was cultivating at home, Tomoyo visited him once. As for Mizuki Kaho, let's not even mention her; she came twice a week. And her timing was always perfect, right after Mikami Hiroyu finished purifying his magic power, when he was particularly hungry. Considering the food Mizuki Kaho brought, he didn't say much.

Tomoyo's arrival wasn't so coincidental, since she didn't have precognitive abilities. Tomoyo always brought a bag full of clothes, and there was a reason why it was a whole bag.

That day, Mikami Hiroyu entered a state of magical purification and had no way of knowing what was happening outside. Plus, there was hardly anyone at home, but thankfully, he had six Clow Cards protecting him.

This time, Yuu Mikami also used a Mirror card from the Clow Cards. Yuu Mikami said to the Mirror card, "If any of my friends come, please transform into my appearance to greet them. By the way, do you know my friends?"

Mirror Brand nodded, and then Yu Shen Haoyu went to cultivate in his room. Seeing that there were no mischievous kids this time, Mirror Brand stared blankly at Yu Shen Haoyu's focused expression for quite a while.

When Mirror Card snapped out of its daze, it realized that 30 minutes had passed. Mirror Card, realizing it had been staring at its master for half an hour, blushed, blinked its large eyes, took a deep breath, and then sat down next to Yu Shen Hao Yu.

Around 3 p.m., a doorbell rang, disturbing the Mirror. The Mirror glanced at its owner, then transformed into the form of Mikami Hiroyu to open the door.

Before Mikami Hiroyu was subdued, the Mirror Card could not transform into Mikami Hiroyu's appearance. However, after the Mirror Card became Mikami Hiroyu's Clow Card, it discovered that it could transform into Mikami Hiroyu's appearance.

It's not surprising, actually. This is because Yuujin is protected by the world's consciousness. Although this protection doesn't provide him with tangible protection, it's very effective on the Clow Cards. For example, when Yuujin captured the Phantom Card, the Phantom Card couldn't see Yuujin's mind, causing it to appear in its original form before him. Yuujin sealed it away without much effort. The Mirror Card is for the same reason; it can't imitate Yuujin's body and can only choose Li Xiaolang. However, after the Mirror Card is captured, it can transform into Yuujin's appearance.

The Mirror Card, transformed into the likeness of Mikami Hiroyu, gave a hint to the other five Clow Cards when they went to open the door, instructing them to hide somewhere else before opening it.

When the mirror opened the door, it found that the person standing outside was the owner's classmate, whose name seemed to be Daidouji Tomoyo. The owner had a good relationship with Daidouji Tomoyo. When Daidouji Tomoyo first saw the owner, her face was slightly flushed, but the blush quickly disappeared.

"It's Tomoyo. Is there something you need from me?" the mirror tablet, transformed into Mikami Hiroyu, said.

"I apologize for the sudden visit, but I really wanted Haoyu to wear a piece of clothing, so I came right away."

Since she was the master's friend, Jingpai did not stop her and opened the door to let Tomoyo into the room.

The master is currently cultivating, so to avoid disturbing him, I must first play the role of the master. It seems the master has never refused a request from his friend before, nor has he ever asked for one, even though this request is a bit strange.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Mirror Plate's Changing Time

Tomoyo noticed that Hiroyu Mikami seemed a little strange today. In the past, when she asked him to wear clothes she had customized for him, although he didn't refuse, Tomoyo could still see a hint of shyness in his eyes.

But what's wrong with Yu Shen Haoyu today? He doesn't seem to mind wearing my clothes much. This question was quickly diverted by Yu Shen Haoyu himself, now dressed in his custom-made outfit.

Seeing that Mikami Hiroyu was no longer resisting her clothes, Tomoyo quickly made a phone call home, which made Kagami, who was changing clothes, feel inexplicably scared.

Just as Tomoyo was taking pictures of the mirror image of Mikami Hiroyu, the doorbell rang again. Hearing the doorbell, Tomoyo readily opened the door, and a group of female bodyguards entered carrying various bags of clothing.

These bodyguards came and went quickly. Tomoyo told the last bodyguard, "Go back to my mom. I'm staying with Mikami Hiroyu. I'll probably be back around 8 PM."

The bodyguard said, "Understood, Miss," and drove away.

Incidentally, Hiroyuki Mikami has met Tomoyo's mother, and she was quickly captivated by his smile. After Hiroyuki arrived, Tomoyo's mother even asked her, "Is this your boyfriend? He's so cute!"

Tomoyo blushed deeply at the question and stammered, "No, not yet."

Tomoyo's mother, Sonomi Daidouji, said with a regretful expression, "Not yet? Well, maybe it will happen in the future. I support this boy. Good luck, Tomoyo!"

After speaking, Daidouji Sonomi walked away, leaving Tomoyo, whose face was even redder, standing there for a long time.

Since then, Daidouji Sonomi would occasionally ask if Mikami Hiroyu had become her boyfriend. Every time Daidouji Sonomi asked this question, Tomoyo would blush for a long time, but she never told her mother that the answer was no. Because by the time Tomoyo wanted to speak, Daidouji Sonomi was already gone.

After that, Tomoyo would blush every time she saw Hiroyuki Mikami. Sakura asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn't say, and this continued until summer vacation.

After summer vacation started, Tomoyo hadn't seen Hiroyuki Mikami, but she had gone out with Sakura a few times. Now that Sakura seemed to be out with her family, Tomoyo, feeling bored, thought of Hiroyuki Mikami. Imagining Hiroyuki using the Clow Cards, she made a very satisfying outfit and eagerly took it to Hiroyuki Mikami's house.

And so, the mirror stand in place of its owner, dressed in all sorts of clothes, for Tomoyo to photograph.

On the distant horizon, the sun is about to set, and the evening glow in the west waves its magnificent veil. In the hazy light, the grasses everywhere are bathed in a golden hue. A gentle evening breeze rises, and the foxtail grasses sway, playing a lyrical melody of twilight.

This means that Yu Shen Haoyu's cultivation has reached its final stage. Originally, Yu Shen Haoyu's room had air conditioning, so the air conditioning was turned off.

But the windows are closed now. I guess some Clow Card saw the evening breeze blowing outside, because Mikami Hiroyu once said that he didn't like air conditioning and preferred the natural breeze. I wonder which Clow Card remembered that. I'll give them a good compliment later.
