Silent.

There was an eerie silence in the entire reception room.

……

……

……

After a few seconds, the familiar, the unfamiliar, all came out in unison.

"Clams?"

No one expected Orange to say such a thing.

This is Aozaki Orange, even if he betrayed the Aozaki family and didn't have a chance to be a magician, he is still a magician who has climbed to the highest peak of modern magic. On the list of "seal designation", she can still live well, and it is rumored that the "Secret Ritual Judgment Bureau" has given up the pursuit of her.

If such a magician wants to accept his disciples, countless famous nobles will rush to send their children, which is enough to become the first grand occasion in the magic world in the new century.

Note that it is an inner disciple, not an ordinary student.

Although Orange now accepts a few students, these students are all "supernaturals" and do not have the qualifications to become magicians. Oranges are more like a guide for them, guiding them in the direction of their journey, and there is not much that they actually teach.

The inner disciple is not, it is the inheritor of the inheritance of the magician's life, just like the head of a magician's family, the true inheritance in the martial arts school, and can even be regarded as an adopted son or adopted daughter.

The weight of Orange's words was clear to everyone present.

That's why they're silent.

That's why they're stunned.

"Are you serious?" Akiba felt that her brain was a little insufficient, "Accept Bow Mound Senior Sister as an inner disciple?"

"Do you think I'm going to joke about this?" Orange shrugged, not really serious.

"But, but why her?"

"This Miss Yuzuka seems to be an ordinary person. "Ah, it doesn't seem appropriate for me to say that. ”

"No, Miss Yuzuka...... And not ordinary people. Shion seemed to see something, and reached out to the center of May's eyebrows.

"Miss Shion!" Shiki hurriedly reached out and pulled May away from the extension of his finger, "That's rude." ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, because I'm curious, so ...... I'm really sorry. Shion hurriedly apologized.

"The alchemists of Atlas are still the same, and they are prone to impulsiveness when they see good material. ”

Hearing Orange's complaint, Shion couldn't help but lower her head.

Akiba dismantled the stage in person: "Aren't you the same? I still remember the first time you saw Hanzo. ”

Orange also sneered unceremoniously: "If you don't change this bad character, be careful that you won't be able to marry in the future." ”

"I don't want to get married. Akiba secretly glanced at Shiki and snorted arrogantly.

"Well, that ......," May said weakly, "I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't have superpowers like yours. ”

"That's because your power is still asleep and has not been developed. "And it's no accident that you're caught up in such an incident. Even if no murderer appears, sooner or later you will be drawn into other mysterious events. ”

"Mysterious?"

"The so-called mystery, simply put, is something that has not been deconstructed, and the so-called superpowers and magic are all mysteries. And there is a basic law in the mysterious world - the mysterious and the mysterious will attract each other. When you're attracted to Shiki, it means you're not an ordinary person. ”

"Ah!!h

May's face flushed instantly. It's not a theory of mysterious mutual attraction, it's just because of the shyness of the most secret thoughts in my heart after being exposed.

The girl unconsciously peeked at the young man next to her, and found that this wooden guy was as unaware as ever, so she quietly breathed a sigh of relief. This scene also made Akiba begin to regret why he would help her cover and bring her back.

Orange didn't care about the girl's thoughts, and continued: "Regarding your qualifications, Miss Shion, your 'Aether Light Weaving' has been detected. ”

"It deserves to be the 'crown' puppeteer. Shion admits frankly, "There are more than fifty magic circuits, which is quite an excellent rough stone. In addition, there seems to be some kind of special potential, but since the 'Aether Beam' did not hit accurately, no further conclusions were drawn. ”

"It's the same as I analyzed. Orange nodded, looking at May with more and more satisfied eyes, "I will be attracted to Shiki, it should have something in common with his 'ability'." As for what it is, we will slowly dig into it as a topic for the future. ”

"Well, May hasn't promised to be your disciple yet. Zhigui reminded.

"Don't agree?" The corners of Orange's mouth curled up with a mysterious smile, "It's okay, for your sake, I won't force it." However, I have two things to warn you of. ”

"First, mystical attraction. As I have already said, the murder of ghosts is not just accidental. This time you were lucky, you were saved by Zhigui and them, what about next time? What about next time? Do you want to protect her for the rest of your life?"

Shiki opened his mouth and didn't make a promise.

May's face, which had just improved, turned red again.

Akiba's expression became more and more grim.

"Second, mystery is called mystery because it is unknown, so the first principle of mystery is concealment, that is, it cannot be known by ordinary people. It is customary for ordinary people who witness the mystery to perform psychic operations to block the associated memories. Bow Tsuka May, if you don't mean to step into the mysterious world, then I can only block your memories tonight. Rest assured, with my technique, it won't affect other parts of the memory. If you find what I'm saying unreliable, you can also ask someone else. ”

Without waiting for May to ask, Lizzy and Aster had already given the answer first.

She was right. ”

"It's basic common sense. ”

"May of Bow Tsuka, are you willing to lose your memory of tonight?"

Orange folded her hands and supported her chin, and the lenses without a prescription reflected a glimmer of light, dazzling May's eyes.

"Now, tell me the answer. ”

"I-"

The answer was decided as early as May when he stepped into the Tono family. She wants to get into Shiki more and know more about Shiki, how can she be willing to be an ordinary person again, and how can she be willing to lose the memory of tonight.

"—I don't want to lose my memory, I promise to be your disciple and learn magic from you. ”

"It's not magic, it's magic. "There's a fundamental difference. Shiki, you come to explain to May. Not only magic tricks, but also mysterious introductory skills are taught to May by you, after all, you are also her senior. ”

"Senior!" May's eyes lit up.

"Don't forget that there's also me, the 'senior sister'!" Akiba gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction, "Learn...... Younger sister. ”

May playfully read it, and for the first time felt that there was nothing wrong with learning from oranges.

PS: The "seal designation" has been lifted, but it is impossible to make a public statement on this kind of thing, and both sides can tacitly say it. It's really open, where will the face of the "Secret Ritual Judgment Bureau" go.

PS2: I suddenly feel that there are more monsters on Orange's side than Webb's.
