"Angel" is not only a concept of religious systems, but also one of the foundations of magic, which itself represents mystery. Even a dead object like a sculptural mural has a shocking power even if it is not magical, and a large number of angelic elements come together.

If you don't have targeted training, you will fall into a state of breathing disorder or even suffocation the moment you step into the hall. That's how Grey was, she felt that the air in the room was a viscous liquid, and she was the drowning man.

Fortunately, at this time, the breathing method that had been tempered on the way here worked automatically, relieving the pressure on Grey's body.

Noticing that Grey's breathing was gradually calming down, Shinji nodded secretly: "The reaction is quite fast, but the direction is wrong." To deal with mental stress, meditation is more appropriate than breathing – you see Miss Rosalind. ”

Grey turned her head to the side and felt a pang of chagrin to find that Rosalind was not in the same breathless situation as she was.

"Why am I so stupid......"

"You're not stupid. Shinji shook his head at the girl, "You're just receiving too many things in a short period of time, and your brain's processing speed can't keep up, so you can get used to it with a little more time." ”

When Shinji and Grey were observing the Istali siblings, they were also being observed from the other side. Heine asked:

"It's ——? you two"

"Complete the assignments assigned by the professor. Miss Grey's physique is not suitable for traditional magician teaching, so the professor found an ancient breathing method for Grey. ”

"I see. Heine praised from the bottom of his heart, "Professor Velvet is really dedicated to the teaching of his disciples, and the hard work of the two of them is also admirable—Rosalind, you need to learn more." ”

"Yes, brother. The girl nodded vigorously.

“…… Oh, the 'Commoner Lord' didn't come personally. ”

There are spiral staircases on both sides of the hall, and in one of them there is an old voice, along with the sound of "squeak" metal rubbing.

It was a wheelchair, and in it was an old man with a full head of white hair. Pushing the wheelchair in the back was a teenager who looked like an assistant.

The wrinkles on the old man's body were layered on top of each other, and he looked more like a mummy than a magician, conservatively estimated to be more than eighty years old. The ten fingers of the dead tree all bear rings, and the magnificent color sets off the breath of the old man's body precipitated by time even more heavily.

Almost a rival to the Stripped-from City, the magician in the truest sense of the word—a creature who is still human on the outside, but on the inside is a creature that has moved closer to the outside of the human world.

"Whew, whew, huhh. Rather a little self-aware, the guy who has not been able to rise from the sacrificial throne should hide in the classroom and teach in peace, instead of running to the castle of his old friend Grevin to seek something that does not belong to him. ”

"This is ——?," there was a rare hint of displeasure in Grey's voice. Although I already knew that my teacher had no talent for magic, it was still a little difficult to let go of being told this in person.

"Ollock Sisamond, Papilio Magic, Magia), who had no small influence inside the Clock Tower. It is said that they were old friends who had known the owner of the castle for many years, and the two often discussed and studied magic together. ”

Shinji looked at the old man with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Butterfly Magic" sounds related to "Insect Magic", and it is an evolutionary and upgraded version, he wants to know if the old man's "Butterfly Magic" can make the ugly magic developed by Jian Tong Dirty Yan complete the transformation and truly break the cocoon into a butterfly.

The old man didn't pay attention to Shinji's gaze, just groped for the handrail and glanced behind him.

"It's just that the selection of students is not bad – let's introduce it. ”

Then, a young man in a strange costume rushed towards Gray and Rosalind.

"-Oh, there's a beautiful woman!"

He was about the same age as Heine, dressed in pure white linen robes, with a fist-sized conch around his neck, an eye patch in his right eye, and a small polygonal box tied to his head, and greeted the girls energetically in English with a strong accent.

"We are cultivators when Jiro Fang Qingxuan, take care of it. ”

Grey is not used to dealing with this kind of person, and looks at Shinji with a pleading gaze, and Shinji immediately steps forward.

"It's really rare to see a cultivator of the Tao here. ”

"My brother is very knowledgeable, and he actually knows that there are not many niche schools in Japan. ”

"My name is Shen Zhong, I am from China, and I used to lead the practice in the Tiantai sect. ”

Shen Er's hands are folded, and the opposite side is also folded with both hands, responding with a Buddhist salute.

"It turned out to be a Chinese monk. ”

"Although I have heard that the monks of some sects in Japan do not reject women, it seems that there is no such thing as your cultivation of the Tao. ”

"It's not that it's not exclusive, it's that women are taboo, but faith and one's own preferences are two different things, and there is no need to be so rigid in foreign countries. So, you two, make friends with us, shall you?"

Kiyogen grinned and stepped away, trying to bypass Shinji, who quietly moved sideways to block his way.

"It turned out to be a monk who broke the vows. ”

"The little brother is overexaggerating. ”

"Once you have entered the Buddha's door, you should abide by the rules and precepts. ”

"This way of talking is as annoying as the old guys. ”

Qingxuan suddenly jumped up as he spoke, his body almost defiing gravity, and fluttering over Shinji's head. From the point of view of magic, it is a moving magic, but in Shugendo, it is called the Flying Crow or Tengu Flying Slashing Technique, which is a type of "power test".

"There is Shanghua Immeasurable Casting Hua Guangtong Heaven and Earth Sect Master. ”

Shinji kept his hands folded, and a solemn golden light bloomed on his body, and Kiyogen, who was in mid-air, touched the light, as if he had hit an invisible wall, and fell straight down.

"Whoa, who ”

Seeing Qing Xuan raise his hands in embarrassment, Shinji dispersed the "Divine Thunder Enchantment" at this time, and was about to say something, when he suddenly turned his head to look at the door behind him.

There was a man lying by the door and peeking out his head, a man who was very inappropriate for the castle. A free-growing beard looked like he hadn't been groomed for months, and his muscular size was not concealed by the loose clothes of a dirty nomad, who was only a little taller than Heine, but twice as large as him.

Seeing this person, Heine's expression immediately sank, and his voice became a little sharper.

"I didn't expect him to come, the 'Master Killer' in the Magician, the astrologer Fliouga. ”

"No, it's not just him. ”

Shinji's gaze looked beyond the open door and into the farther door.

"So, I'm the last. ”

With a gorgeous voice in the midst of elegance, a beautiful figure walked into the hall.
