Fujino's adoptive father's name is Asagami Yasuzo, and he is the head of the Asagami family.

After the Asagami family went bankrupt, Fujino's mother was forced to remarry the head of the family, Yasuzo, because of this mutually compromised political marriage, almost all the remnants of the Asagami clan fell into the control of Asagami Yasuzo.

Even though it has declined, Asagami is one of the four exorcist families after all, and he holds the power of the family's resources, but he has always been wary of his titular daughter Fujino.

There's a reason for that, of course.

Liyuan Women's College is built in the mountains on the outskirts of Guanbuzi City, and it takes more than half an hour to enter the city even by shuttle bus.

Asakami Fujino is only 12 years old this year and is scheduled to enter junior high school next spring.

With the power of the Asakami family in Kanbuko City, Fujino, as the eldest lady of the family, should have been favored by thousands of people.

However, she had just returned home from boarding school, and there was not even a special car to greet Fujino at the school gate, which shows how indifferent Yasuzo Asakami is to her.

Pain-free, as the name suggests, does not feel any pain in the person suffering from this condition.

People who can't feel pain can't appreciate the preciousness of life, and they don't have a sense of self-protection in their cognition, and even if they are inadvertently injured, they may not be able to immediately notice it.

Fujino is a painless patient, and she can't understand the reason why her classmates cry after they fall, and she can't empathize with others around her in some ways, and there is a clear separation from the common sense society.

Fujino herself is aware of this in her daily life, and she gradually learns to disguise and act, and after being injured, she will deliberately feign pain to prevent her classmates and friends from discovering her abnormality.

But acting is just a performance after all, and she has never been able to understand why the injury hurts and makes her cry, and if she continues like this, she is likely to cause a catastrophe in the future because of the impact of painlessness on her concept.

Lu Xiao's words made Fujino's eyes, which were a little hollow, widen slightly, she had learned about her abnormality, but she couldn't find a way to solve it.

Hearing that the strange man in front of him had a way to cure his painless disease, Fujino, who seriously lacked a sense of self-protection, immediately naively believed it.

"Sir, can you really cure me?"

Lu Xiao squatted down and smiled kindly: "Yes, call me Lu Xiao." ”

"Your disease is not difficult to treat, the difficulty lies in how to eradicate the hidden dangers behind this disease."

"Come with me, let's find a quiet place to talk in detail."

"Hmm!"

Fujino, who was full of anticipation, did not doubt that he had him, and followed obediently after Lu Xiao took her little hand.

"Hehe~"

Before Lu Xiao and Fujino could take a few steps, a blonde Western man in a red coat and a top hat of the same color suddenly walked out of the mountain forest next to the academy road, just blocking the avenue in front of them.

The students and parents who passed around unconsciously stopped moving forward, and kept circling around the arc-shaped boundary where no physical object could be seen.

"Abducting an innocent girl is not a gentleman's behavior."

Lu Xiao stopped, looked at the golden retriever young man in front of him and squinted his eyes.

He felt a lot of magic fluctuations from this person, but Eagle Vision couldn't catch the slightest life reaction.

'The ability to hide the breath? Or ......

"Miss Asagami, please stay where you are for now."

Lu Xiao drew three runes of Luen in succession in the void, and the small enchantment that emitted a turquoise glow protected the unknown Fujino.

"Rune magic? Hum! ”

The blonde young man with very three-dimensional facial features showed a disgusted expression on his face: "Is it really Aosaki's lackey, I'll just say why Araya suddenly asked me to check the situation of the chess pieces." ”

'Ridiculous? I see. ’

Lu Xiao probably guessed the identity of the other party.

"This crappy and somewhat familiar accent, you're Italian?"

"Exactly."

The blonde man withdrew his slightly distorted expression and saluted Lu Xiao in a standard chest-stroking posture.

"Cornelius Aruba, heir to the abbot of the Roman Monastery of Supbenheim, is also a magician from the clock tower."

Sure enough. ’

Asakami Fujino and Kumajo Kiri-e are both chess pieces prepared by Araya Soren in advance.

The change in state of the Wujo Fog Painting aroused the suspicion of Araya Soren, and he asked Aruba, who had come from Rome to assist him in completing the plan, to go to the Reiten Women's Academy first to check on the situation of Asagami Fujino, and happened to collide with Lu Xiao.

"Since it's Aosaki's lackey, then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless."

After the meeting ceremony was completed, Aruba stopped talking nonsense, put away the sneering smile on his face, pointed the civilization staff held in his right hand at Lu Xiao, and tentatively launched the first round of attacks.

“Gandr。”

A ball of red and black magic shot out from the tip of the Civilization Staff, aiming at Lu Xiao, who was motionless.

Gandr, a curse magic passed down from the Nordics.

It is not very powerful compared to other large magic tricks, but it can make the person who is tricked have low mobility.

When the mana injected into Gandr is high enough, it is as powerful as a bullet from a modern rifle, making it an easy-to-learn entry-level magic trick.

The Gandr shot by Aruba is so powerful that it should be able to blow up a small crater on the ground, but Lu Xiao didn't even bother to hide in the face of this boring attack.

“biu~”

Gandr's ball of light flew in front of Lu Xiao at a distance of about a meter and dissipated on its own, as if it had hit some kind of invisible magic barrier.

"Huh?"

The relaxed expression on Aruba's face narrowed slightly, and he frowned at Lu Xiao and asked, "What did you do?" I didn't see you do the enchantment magic. ”

"Magic?"

Lu Xiao, who put his hands in his trouser pockets, lowered his head and smiled mockingly: "This kind of spell that even a 5-year-old child can use still needs magic defense?" ”

Lu Xiao didn't deliberately use fictional facts to stir up Aruba's emotions, Sakura, who is about to turn 6 years old, will indeed use Gandr.

"Tsk!"

Aruba, who had a high self-esteem, couldn't stand Lu Xiao's mocking tone, and this condescending attitude reminded him of Aozaki Orange, who always looked down on him.

"It's your own death, don't blame me for being too heavy!"

The tip of Aruba's staff of civilization flashed crimson, and his mouth began to chant incantations at a rapid pace.

"Go away the shadow"

"It is impossible to touch the thing whiot visible"

Modern magicians use great magic to be aided by chanting, and Aruba speaks extremely fast, and the waves of magic rising from him are quite spectacular, and the raging flames gradually converge on the head of the staff of civilization with his incantation.

"I am the order"

"Therefore"

“you will be defeated securely！ (Thou shalt bring upon thyself at last)"

"Boom!"

A high-temperature magic flame erupted from Aruba's "staff", engulfing the motionless Lu Xiao in the blink of an eye.

"Hahaha!"

Aruba laughed hysterically: "Stupid and arrogant magician, turn to ashes under the fire of a thousand degrees!" ”

Protected by Rune's magic in the enchantment, Fujino couldn't feel the temperature changes in the outside world, but she could roughly judge the lethality of the flames by the rapidly withering and charred flowers and trees around her.

"Mr. Lu Xiao......"

Having just had the hope of curing painlessness, Fujino didn't want it to be replaced by despair.

She looked worriedly at the place where Lu Xiao had been standing before, which had been completely engulfed in flames.

"That's it?"

The leisurely sound of the fire turned Aruba's laughter into a short scream of "quack", and the duck-like cry made Fujino laugh a little.

"Whew!"

A violent wind suddenly blew in the center of the flames, which soon tore the raging flames apart.

Lu Xiao, who was unharmed, looked indifferent, still maintaining the movement of putting his hands in his pockets, and even his footsteps did not move at all, but he used the natural ability of the dragonborn to call for the wind to blow away the flames around his body.

"No...... No way! ”

Aruba thinks highly of himself and is good as a magician, but his willpower is too poor, and the slightest blow will put him into a hysterical irrational state.

The staff of civilization in his hand sent out Gandr to attack Lu Xiao one after another, and Aruba shouted frantically: "What kind of monster are you! Why can't you even use a defensive enchantment to stop my big magic! ”

Lu Xiao continued to approach Aruba, Gandr dissipated on its own before he could get close to his body, and Lu Xiao even had time to take a look at his skill panel.

Extraterritorial Life B: Mystic increased.
