After the year, the guests who had borrowed the mansion left one after another, the work of the servants resumed as before, and the palace was deserted again.

Kei Himekawa was the last of the five generals to leave. Before leaving, he spent the entire afternoon in the basketball gym, instructing Sakurai Tsuki's magic one last time.

At the end, Ji Chuan Kei once again confirmed that there was no one around, approached Sakurai Yue, and said softly, "Miss, I have poured all my life's learning into you, and it is no exaggeration to say that your strength is enough for the six-star level now." ”

Sakurai Yuelian was surprised by herself, and looked at the palm injured by the practice for a long time, and the ulcers and black dead skin were conspicuous, "What? I was only at the level of three stars before, why was I able to make such a leap and bounds in 10 days? ”

"The Sakurai family has always been a miracle, and Young Master Shioya is also young and talented, and he dominates the magic world. Even if the eldest lady is so powerful, it is no longer enough to make her subordinates feel strange. Ji Chuanqi sighed, "Talent is really difficult to define, the eldest lady's magic physique is already excellent, and she is extremely sensitive to magic, she can learn it at a glance, and even draw inferences." Truth be told, some of your novel subordinates don't know how to answer them. ”

"And how do I compare with my brother?"

"Compared with the young master, there is still a bit of a gap. His demon practice age is nearly 10 years, and he has been climbing at a terrifying rate. The subordinates have not seen the young master perform magic in recent years, and they don't know if he has the strength to surpass the lord. Speaking of this, Ji Chuanqi pondered for a moment, "However, the eldest lady can not only make such progress in ten days, but also not reach the peak ceiling, and may surpass Young Master Xiye in the near future." With such a talent, there was only one person in history. ”

"Who? Name. ”

Ji Chuan Kai's face was difficult, "Miss, this is ...... This is a taboo between us magicians, and you'd better not know as well. ”

"What are you? So why did you mention it? Sakurai Yue glared coldly, "Half of the words hang my appetite?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. It's just that this person has too many bad deeds, how can such a notorious person casually enter the noble and delicate ears of the eldest lady. ”

"Come on, I don't like to hear that kind of flattery."

"That is the fourth generation of Ice Crown, and he was the head of the second regiment headquarters. In the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, he made outstanding achievements, but after an attack deep into the dense forest, his temperament changed greatly, and he actually went with poison. Even if she tame small poisons, she can communicate with large poisons, but her own ability to control them is not enough, and the poisons she raises often injure friendly soldiers. When the army collectively crusaded against an epic poison called Titan King Kong, she also intervened to hinder the war, which is really incredible. It is said that she also participated in the catastrophe of the Meerkat attack on Kitaku-gun, so she was regarded as a 'human traitor' and a 'cult witch' by the sergeants......"

"Stop, stop." Sakurai Yue interrupted him, "I don't care what kind of person these four generations of Ice Sect are, I just want to know that this person's name is still powerful, not these bad deeds." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive my subordinates. This person's name is Wen Lianting, of Li Guo origin, she has just turned 8 years old, and she has participated in the level evaluation within a month of being exposed to magic, which is an unprecedented starting seven stars. No, it's seven-star strength, eight-star soul power, she's just a little less accurate in magic, otherwise it's eight stars. ”

Sakurai Yue was surprised for a long time and sighed, "That's really amazing, did a genius finally become a madman?" ”

"Debut is the pinnacle, and when you first come into contact with magic, you have the level of a crown candidate. My subordinates also want to experience the taste of being born at the finish line. Ji Chuan Kai clapped his hands and said jokingly, but he really regretted it, "It's a pity that such a genius failed to bring happiness to mankind, but caused a disaster, and in the end he didn't even enter the crown sect, and everything related to his life was forgotten in the spit." ”

"That's her own fault, no one else's fault."

The topic ended, and the two chatted for a while. When parting, Sakurai Yue told her again not to reveal her magical strength, and Ji Chuan Kai agreed, but put forward the idea of a reward, "Miss, can you ask for some rewards if your subordinates have done everything to teach you knowledge and help you hide your secrets?" ”

"Yes, of course. What do you want? As long as I can. ”

Ji Chuanqi smiled, his narrow eyes were slit, the fishtail was flying, and his words were no longer humble and polite, "I want Miss Yue to call me a teacher." The eldest lady is one of my disciples and will be the last. I am determined not to let my descendants get involved in this magic turbidity, but I hope that the eldest lady can inherit and strengthen the flame magic as soon as possible, and this title will be an honor that I, Ji Chuan, am proud of. ”

"Yes." Sakurai Yue walked outside the basketball hall and waved away, "Teacher Himekawa, go all the way." ”

Ji Chuanqi's face was full of shame, "The eldest lady said this with a cold face, it's really frightening......"

"Teacher Himekawa, go all the way." Sakurai Tsuki repeated it again.

"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go." Ji Chuanqi left quickly, inevitably complaining in his heart, "The little girl is arrogant, I wanted to make a good impression on my uncompetitive son, but it seems that there is no chance." ”

After Kei Himekawa left, Sakurai Tsuki was still not satisfied with the study of magic, but she did not dare to act rashly for the time being, for fear that the cautious Ta Lao would find out. Every time she practiced with Ji Chuan Kai before, she restrained her strength, and only really showed it when she made sure that Duo Lao was not peeping. Duo Lao also seemed to have asked Ji Chuan Kai vaguely about the situation, but fortunately, Sakurai Yue used a lie to envelop Ji Chuan in advance, otherwise all the holes would have been lost.

So cautious and cautious, Sakurai Moon couldn't help but desire in her heart after all, so she led Senshi Fumiko to the library on the fifth floor.

Caretaker Tsubasa and her gardener boyfriend Lick were reading side by side when Sakurai knocked on the table to get the two of them up to greet them.

"Can I talk to you?" Tsukihara jumped to the side of the long table, but Fumiko got a high chair out of nowhere. So Yue sat on the high chair again, looking at the two people who were not tall.

"When, of course." The two lovers speak in unison, and the connection is the same.

"Xiao Tsubasa, do you spend all day in the library and communicate with other people a lot?"

"Not much...... Xiao Wing glanced at his boyfriend, "I will be with everyone during the meal, and we can probably talk a few words, but because of Lick, everyone doesn't want to disturb us." ”

"And who do you have the best relationship with?"

"Asuka Ueda, who is in charge of the second floor, will often come to accompany me if Lick is not there."

Sakurai Yue nodded, and when she saw that the two were still standing respectfully, she beckoned them to sit down, "What about the female officer?" What kind of person do you think she is. ”

"Ah, how can I say that. Very serious, very serious senior. The official would come to the library every day to check, and once she even found the bookmark string in the corner of the wall, which was obviously a dark place where the light was not visible. I think it's amazing, every day, meticulously, it's really hard to do.

Sakurai continued to nod, "What about Mr. Old?" What do you think of him? ”

"I don't know much about Mr. Duo, he rarely comes to the library, and we rarely meet, but occasionally I meet to say hello, and he responds to me very friendly, I feel that there is no shelf at all, and he is very friendly."

"Oh? Don't have a shelf? What about me, do you have a shelf? How do you feel about me? Sakurai said expressionlessly, clearly seeing that the two in front of him were getting more and more nervous. Her boyfriend, Lick, quietly poked Xiao Tsubasa, as if he was quite reproachful for her words just now.

"Ah, that, Miss...... Words. I can't tell......"

Sakurai Yue only stared at Xiao Tsubashi carefully, and continued to answer after a long time, so her tone was cold, "What?" It's easy to judge other people, but not to me? Could it be that I have a big shelf that makes you uncomfortable? ”

Nalik was particularly anxious, and hurriedly stood up again, his tone anxious, "How come, Xiao Yi means that Mr. Duo is a steward, and he is much more friendly than Aunt Sanshi." I am the gardener who takes care of the shrubs in the garden, and I also follow the instructions of Mr. Duo, who always takes care of everyone's affairs. We didn't say that the eldest lady was not. ”

"Got it. So go ahead, how about me? ”

Both of them were silent.

"Just evaluate me, is it hard? You are free to say and try to find faults, and I have come here to hear your impression of me. If I deliberately conceal what I think or say something against my heart to please me. Can you think about the consequences? Sakurai Yue lowered her forehead slightly, but her eyes looked straight at the two of them, "Except for the Sakurai family, you shouldn't be able to find such a high-paying and comfortable job, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, we'll tell the truth!" Xiao Wing was so anxious that his face was flushed, and the thick glasses lenses were slightly fogged, "Please wait for two minutes, and let's think about it." ”

"Good. Fumiko, you come to the time. Two minutes full. ”

"Yes." Sengoku Fumiko pulls out the stopwatch from her "universal pocket".

Xiao Tsubasa and Lick's minds were tumbling at this time, but their expressions didn't dare to be bothered, so they just kept making small movements in place, like a student who made a mistake in the face of the homeroom teacher.

"Big, big miss, the personality is too weird!" Tsubasa shouted this, but immediately shut up, raising his face slightly and staring at Sakurai Tsuki, for fear that a terrifying expression would appear.

Sakurai didn't react much, just waved his hand, "Go on." ”

"When I first met my lady, I was like a lovely sister, very curious about everything, and very kind to me. It's like the little girl next door...... Now, now, it's changed so much that suddenly I'm mean and cold, and I don't like to laugh anymore. When I eat in the staff cafeteria, I often hear other people talking about the eldest lady, saying that you seem to be a different person. ”

"Well, you're right. In fact, being close to you before was not my true feelings. It's just that when I first came to my house from my grandmother's side, I was told by my mother to be gentle with you. But now it's not necessary, it's a very tiring thing to disguise your original personality for a long time. What you need to do is get used to me. ”

The two nodded their heads repeatedly, and Rick straightened his chest and prepared to speak. But was stopped by Sakurai Tsuki, "You don't have to say it, Tsubasa Sabasa's boyfriend." "Tsuki slipped down from the high chair," that is, Mr. Duo never came to this library, did he?" ”

"Yes, never."

"So what would you do if someone suddenly came to ask for the borrowing list, and did you tell someone who borrowed what book and when?"

"No, it won't. It's privacy, like a hospital medical record. I don't show the roster to anyone else, not even my wife or Sakurai-sama. ”

"That's fine, remember your words."

Sakurai Tsuki immediately searched the library and found most of the books on magic, but she only pulled out one of them, and borrowed a copy of "The Three Musketeers" as a cover, and left with Sengoku Fumiko.

Sakurai Moon is as nervous and exciting as stealing snacks in the kitchen when she was a child, and she is inevitably excited, and she goes downstairs very quickly.

But when passing through the middle terrace on the fourth floor, Duo Lao, dressed in a black dress, was holding two teacups and striding on the steps. Seeing Yue and Fumiko, he stood in place after a brief greeting, and he had no intention of walking away.

"Fumiko, you take the book down first, Duo Lao seems to be looking for me to talk about something." Sakurai handed the book to Sengoku Fumiko.

But without waiting for the smoker to catch it, Duo Lao on the side put the tray on the flat rail, bent down and stretched out his hand, and smiled, "Wait a minute, eldest lady, can you let the old minister take a look?" The books in the library are too vast, and many of them are mixed, so I hope to screen them in advance before the dross is contaminated. ”

"Okay."

Duo Lao took the book, flipped through it repeatedly and found no abnormality, so he clipped the book to his waist, "Miss, this book is too early for you, forgive the old minister for confiscating it." ”

"And what do I watch at night?"

"In a few days, the eldest lady will start school, and I hope you will put more of your mind on studying. In addition, the adult has already contacted the tutor, and if nothing else, he will be able to come to the house within a week. ”

Sakurai Yue's eyebrows were annoyed when she heard this, and her tone was disgusting, "Naturally, I don't need to be reminded by the old gentleman, I have always been the first in the class in my original school." I'm not afraid of a tutor coming, I'm nothing more than a well-known and flashy educator. ”

Duo Lao squinted and smiled, "I hope you'll be able to say that then." ”

Qianshi Fumiko on the side saw that there was tension between the two because of a dispute over a novel, so he hurriedly went downstairs, "Miss, then I'll go back first." ”

When Fumiko walked away, Sakurai Yue breathed a long sigh of relief, secretly happy in his heart, fortunately, he put the magic book in the secret pocket on the inside of Fumiko's skirt in advance, and there was a novel cover, otherwise he would really be caught.

"What's the matter? People can come here at any time. Sakurai asked.

"It's nothing, just wanted to praise you. In the past few days, the servants have been discussing your changes, saying that the eldest lady has become cold and unapproachable. Suddenly changing the way you speak and your attitude, you can still make people not notice anything wrong, you are quite qualified as an actor. ”

"Isn't that of course? Ever since you said that you want to set up a character for me, I have specifically consulted Fumiko, but I have been practicing for a long time. Sakurai Moon didn't have a proud expression, everything was so taken for granted.

"Keep it up." Elder shrugged his gray goatee, "What I'm going to say is that if you want to enter Kyori Middle School in the future, you will probably need to take the magic level test. However, try to get a lower star rating, so that the people around you probably don't expect much from you. I'm going to get you to fix this test in the near future. ”

Sakurai pretended to know nothing, "What is the magic level test?" ”

"Only by participating in and passing the magic level test can you be recognized as a magician and awarded a star and qualification certificate. Moreover, just like the exam, you can take the exam one level at a time. The higher your star rating, the stronger your strength, of course, this is not absolute, but it is indeed an important reference. ”

"Then I'll go."

Suddenly, two maids came down from the upper floor, bowed their heads to him and Sakurai Tsuki when they were old, and stood by the side.

It was inconvenient for Duo Lao to drive them away directly, so he changed his respectful tone, "Uh, Miss, you can take the exam at any time, but you may not be old enough, at least 12 years old." ”

Sakurai went to elementary school at the age of seven, although she is now 13 years old after the New Year, but she was born in the second half of the year and is not enough to be 12 years old. She tried her best to cooperate with how old she was, "Can't you?" Is there no other way? I'm also curious to know what level I'm at......"

Duo Lao thought for a while, "It's not impossible, you are now the daughter of our district head, and if you take the exam in advance, the people of the Demon Creation Association will not say anything." ”

Sakurai pouted and muttered, "That's still it, I don't think it's good to rely on my father's relationship." ”

Duo Lao laughed, "What's so bad about this? You can do whatever you want, and as a dignified Miss Sakurai, this kind of behavior is a favor to those people. ”

"That's fine, I'm tired." Sakurai walked away.

"I'll let you know when I'm going to test it specifically." Many veterans bend their waists at ninety degrees, and they can't see Sakurai Moon in the distance.

After the conversation with Tara, Sakurai returns to the room and learns the knowledge of the book as fast as he can. If you learn practical knowledge with Ji Chuankai, then most of the books are theoretical knowledge.

The book says that the reason why people can interact with the basic elements of nature is all dependent on a shock wave.

This shock wave is emitted from the edge of the brain and is released in all directions around it through a specific surgical structure. This wave transmission does not require a medium, but the propagation speed is not the same in different objects. The propagation velocity is fastest in a vacuum and the slower propagation velocity in solids with higher density.

But there is one thing that scholars still cannot understand, that is, this shock wave cannot penetrate the surface of the human body and cannot intervene inside the body. Whether it is for oneself or for others, as long as the subject still has vital signs, there is no success story.

Why can just a few shockwaves intervene in the basic elements?

In fact, the shock wave is nothing more than a carrier, which carries information and a kind of energy body called "silk". The human brain is constantly "secreting" this "filament" all the time and storing it in the pineal gland. Each time a spell is cast, the stored "silk" is taken out of the brain in the form of a shock wave.

The storage capacity of the pineal gland varies greatly from person to person. The amount of reserves determines the upper limit of a magician's "mana".

The amount of magic determines how long a magician can use magic, and what determines the strength of magic?

It's very intuitive, relying on the "magic concentration".

Again, the quality of the "silk" varies from person to person. Just like a twisted hemp rope, the more silk ropes there are, the stronger they will be when they are twisted, and the higher the intensity of the magic they will unleash. The "soul power" mentioned by Sakurai Daichi earlier is the power to control the concentration of magic elements.

If the soul power is too small, when the shock wave is emitted, the "silk" will be automatically diluted by the human body, causing the concentration of magic essence to decrease. This is a kind of self-protection function of human beings.

Regardless of the obscure language in the book, Sakurai's understanding of magic is simple and popular. That is, the stronger the willpower and the more mentally focused a person is when he or she initiates magic, the more powerful the magic will be.

This is why chanting is commonly needed by magicians, because chanting is a psychological suggestion, the most effective way to deepen the power of consciousness. The more you want the flame in your hand to be vigorous, the more vigorous it will be. Therefore, the activation of magic is actually very mentally demanding.

In addition, Sakurai Moon is currently able to freely control the movement of the flames within a radius of about fifty meters from herself, which makes her very satisfied.

Because the book says that the shock wave emitted by the human body is a short wave, although the propagation speed is fast, but the limit distance is very short. The casting range of ordinary people is only 1~5 meters with a radius of 1~5 meters centered on the brain, and the average among magicians is only 17.78 meters.

In this way, even if a person has a magical physique, it is still too difficult to become a good magician. Not only does it require sufficient mana and a high concentration of mana, but it also requires a long cast range, and the conditions are very harsh.

Sakurai was very grateful for her talent, and she seemed to be able to feel that she had an innate advantage in magic. She can easily turn a flame into a raging fire, and let them fly through the sky at her own will until they are extinguished.

"How difficult is the level test?" In the middle of the night, Sakurai Tsuki said to herself, "That's it, I don't plan to get good grades anyway." "What the hell is she looking forward to getting the qualification certificate of a magician, and becoming a powerful magician like her biological father Tang Quan.
