"Is magic real?"

"My king, although magic is available to everyone, not everyone believes in it. Merlin's voice came slowly with the shaking of his beard, and he could clearly hear a little helplessness. And in front of him was King Arthur with a deep face.

This was Merlin's first time casting magic in front of Arthur.

What is magic? No one knows for sure. However, it has been discovered that it can be manipulated and exploited by humans. Legend has it that many strange people are people who have mastered magic to varying degrees. Many incredible events are also related to magic, including our story.

I guess I had just started high school. The junior high school grades were not bad, and he was admitted to the best high school in his hometown - Yurong No. 1 Middle School. School leaders don't have to worry about grades, and the management is much more relaxed than in junior high school. At that time, I was no different from other students, believing in science and upholding reason, and I had never thought about it, let alone heard about this so-called almost fantasy magic. The understanding of the concept of "magic" is also stuck in novels and games. But later experience really impressed me with this sentence from an ancient book:

"What people know all their lives is just a drop in the ocean, the tip of the iceberg. ”

Sometimes I think: what would have happened if she had taken refuge in the Qiaoxiang Middle School next door instead of ours?

———— ———— cut ———— line————

In the alley, a panting girl hurried past with a horned bow on her back and a Han sword at her waist. Sweat sticks to the hair on the face. She wears a long night gown, and the buttons on her shirt are out of place with the modern city surrounded by high-rise buildings and glittering neon.

The girl leaned against the wall, her hand on her chest, and her breath gradually calmed down. Looking back abruptly, I saw the empty alley. The cool breeze brushed her beautiful face, and she couldn't help but shiver.

After straightening his messy hair, he took a few more steps forward.

"That's ...... School?" There was silence in Yurong No. 1 Middle School at night, and only the dormitory building was still full of people.

"Let's go hide first...... the girl hasn't closed her eyes for two days, and she has been fleeing for days, she is already extremely tired, and she must take a rest. She found a flat spot on the roof of the garage, lowered her horned bow, untied the sword hanging from her waist, and lay down. Curled up, holding the sword, just sighed softly, and soon fell asleep.

The girl slept soundly at night, and was not awakened by shouting until the next afternoon. She quickly realized her situation, the students had already been in class for half a day, and it was a blessing that they were not discovered, and now it was impossible to leave without attracting attention.

She looked around and was lying behind an LED board, the branches of the tree next to the garage surrounding her. This happened to create a safe place for her to completely hide her figure.

It's a comfort. She breathed a sigh of relief and poked her head out a little to find that there were lively students everywhere, presumably in gym class. At this time, a large group of people around the horizontal bar attracted her attention.

“...... Thirty-four! thirty-five! thirty-six!" The lazy sunlight bypassed the sleepy branches and made trivial footprints in the sand. The breeze chases the birdsong. A group of energetic high school students are around the horizontal bar, watching a pull-up exam.

The horizontal bar is taciturn, wrapped in dark blue paint. There are a few places up and down that have peeled off the paint, revealing stains of rust. Now, trembling rhythmically with the shouts.

"Thirty-seven!" the crowd erupted in cheers. Wu Shaoqi let go of his hand and finally left the horizontal bar. His hair stood on end as if he were being inspected, and behind his white shirt, the outline of his muscles loomed.

The PE teacher brought up the scorecard, "37, which is currently the best score in the entire grade." Each one is very standard, you all learn something for me! See no? Especially those who don't have one, go back and step up the practice! Okay, the next one!"

Wu Shaoqi clapped his hands and whistled to the nearby double pole - a slightly pale boy was resting on the double pole while watching the exam not far away. "Don't touch ......me without washing your hands," the boy asked, just as he got closer.

"Hey, how do you know?" Wu Shaoqi glanced down at his hands.

"Smell it yourself. ”

Wu Shaoqi sniffed his palm, and a smell of rust penetrated his nostrils. "Hah, the nose is very good. Are you done with the exam?"

"Hmm. ”

"How many?"

"Ten, no more, no less, just passing. ”

"Oh, that's more than that, right?"

"Enough passing, I don't want to be too tired. ”

"Hahaha, okay. ”

The boy is Wu Shaoqi's friend, and his name is Wei Heqiu, "Those who don't know me say what I want." It is said that his parents referred to this sentence when they came up with their names.

Teachers often say that this guy is very lazy, often in stark contrast to the lively and energetic Wu Shaoqi.

"M!" At this time, Qin Chuan's voice sounded in his ears. Sauche looked up, and a shorter boy stood beside him at some point. "I'm one close to passing!"

"Little M" is Wu Shaoqi's nickname, and when he was very young, his friends and family called him that. Qin Chuan has always had a little admiration for Wu Shaoqi, so he unconsciously removed the word "small". And Wei Heqiu is too troublesome to even remember a nickname, and he has always called him by his first name.

"When you first started practicing, you couldn't do any of them, right? It's still pretty good to be able to go from 0 to 9 in a few weeks, well~ not bad!"

"Although I am very tired, as long as I practice harder this week, and find a teacher to make up for the exam in physical education class next week, I can pass!" Qin Chuan looked confident, clenched his right fist, and nodded.

Hearing this, Wei Heqiu smiled faintly and silently moved his gaze back to his toes.

"Eh, where is Xiaohuai, haven't you come yet?" Wu Shaoqi suddenly thought of something.

"Probably. ”

Wu Shaoqi also looked at the crowd, shook his head, and said helplessly: "He was only late in the morning, but now he is starting to be late in the afternoon." You're going to be late for self-study in the near future, right?"

"Well, maybe it's just a car accident. "Wei He asked for a light cloud.

"Uh......" Wu Shaoqi felt the corners of his eyes twitch, but he was used to Wei Heqiu's speech.

"Oh, isn't this coming?" Wei Heqiu nodded in the direction of the school gate.

Wu Shaoqi looked over and saw a boy with a light gray schoolbag on his back with soft black hair - the boy lowered his head slightly, and his hanging bangs covered his face above the tip of his nose, and swayed with his rapid pace. His lips were closed one by one, apparently gasping for air.

Shen Huaixu ran to the side of the horizontal bar, unloaded his schoolbag, looked left and right, and threw it on a relatively clean wall. Take two deep breaths of air to calm your breathing as quickly as possible. At this time, I saw the three people on the side of the double pole, and when I raised my hand to say hello, I happened to hear the physical education teacher shouting, "Where is No. 47? Come and take the test!"

Shen Huaixu looks feminine, and from time to time some people treat him as a girl. The figure does not have strong muscle lines like Wu Shaoqi, and Shen Huaixu is more like the weak scholar that people often say. His voice sounded unmanly, too, but it wasn't awkward at all...... Well, to put it bluntly, it's a mother...... The athletic results are not good at all. Pull-up test, uh...... He couldn't even touch the horizontal bar when he jumped, so it was - 0 points......

After all the boys' tests are over, the teacher blows the whistle and assembles. Facing the boys lined up in two lines, he held the scoresheet in one hand and skillfully turned the pen in the other.

The teacher first glanced around and asked, "Is the one who wasn't there during the roll call here?"

"Here, here..."Shen Huaixu smiled slightly apologetically and waved his hand gently.

"I heard you're a 'late professional?'" The boys laughed when the teacher finished speaking.

"Haha, even you know......" Shen Huaixu smiled apologetically and embarrassedly, reaching out and scratching the back of his head. Although he was often late, this afternoon was an accident when the bus he was riding in was hit by a strange-looking wild tiger. The damage was not serious and no one was injured. And the strangely shaped tiger is missing. So after a delay, it can be considered a car accident.

The teacher rolled his eyes. Then he looked at the score sheet and said to all the students, "Well, you three classes, this, if you do pull-ups in one minute, there are more than a dozen failures, and many of them don't even have one." After class, I go to the horizontal bar every day to pull it, and I will try to pass the next make-up exam. Okay, the rest of the time, ready to participate in the school sports meeting to practice the project. Others are free to move. ”

The long-awaited free event finally arrived, and most of the boys were so excited that they almost jumped as soon as they announced their disbandment.

The ranks quickly dispersed. Some shouted to so-and-so to play basketball, and when they were excited, they even jumped out a dirty word or two; some quickly threw themselves into the volleyball court and stood up, even though their companions who went to the equipment room had not yet borrowed the ball; some "made a miracle with great force" and kicked the football ball into the air above the football field, and then chased after the football with a group of classmates who had long been unable to hold back; some sat on a stone bench under the shade of a tree, skillfully placed chess on the stone table, and prepared to compete with their opponents...... Of course, one or two can always be seen silently walking towards the store or the library.

What a fascinating and comfortable life!

The girl retracted her poked head back and leaned her back against the electronic board. I don't know how long such a frightened day will pass, and I can't help but sigh. I couldn't do anything else now, so I took out the little dry food I had left and chewed it slowly. Keep your ears peeled for what's going on outside.

On the playground, Qin Chuan hugged his chest with one hand, pinched his chin with his index finger and thumb with the other, and some girls were playing badminton in the direction of his sight. But they are obviously not masters, their movements are very unnatural, and they will even subconsciously dodge the flying balls, and often shout, although the ball skills are not interesting, but their hurried posture is quite cute.

Qin Chuan thought about it, grabbed the badminton racket beside him, and walked with his head held high. If you're watching an anime instead of a novel, you should be able to see a close-up of him cut to the screen, and there will definitely be a breeze brushing past his ears and fluttering with his bangs or placket to reflect his confident image.

In this school, the three-step layup is one of the compulsory subjects in physical education. Wu Shaoqi, who has never been in contact with basketball, is receiving guidance from Wei Heqiu.

"Don't jump too early, jump closer. Watching the inexperienced Shaoqi jump up from the three-point line, Wei Heqiu wanted to laugh a little, and naturally raised his hand, easily picked up the basketball that bounced off the board, and hit the ground to pass to Shaoqi who was back in position.

"Well, good shot!"

"Hmm~, I'm almost getting that feeling. After speaking, Wu Shaoqi applauded himself with satisfaction.

"Then practice first according to this feeling, I'll rest for a while......" Wei Heqiu yawned, pulled his eyelids deaf, sat down cross-legged against the basketball hoop, crossed his hands on his thighs, and seemed to plan to sleep like this. "Call me ...... at the end of class"

"You're not, aren't you?"

"I talked to Xiao Hibiscus until three o'clock in the morning last night, and now I am sleepy as a dog, let me sleep for a while......" Before he finished speaking, Wei Heqiu had already fallen asleep with his head tilted.

What a guy who is addicted to women!

Wu Shaoqi rolled his eyes, and the muscles in his arms strongly asked to grab the basketball and smash it, but unfortunately he held back. Is it necessary to be so crazy in a relationship? However, I'm afraid only that girl can make this guy care so much.

He continued to practice layups. After a few successes, people began to drift, and Wu Shaoqi decided to try those cool moves in the NBA. As a result, the basketball accidentally got out of his hand and smashed directly towards Wei Heqiu.

Not good......

Wu Shaoqi struggled to catch the ball, but it was too late.

"Are you playing ball and hitting people?" Wei Heqiu didn't know when he woke up, and with a lazy tone, he suddenly shrank and dodged the basketball.

Wu Shaoqi wanted to get something back. Before he could speak, a wail came from a distance: "Ouch!"

Wu Shaoqi and Wei He sought prestige, only to see Shen Huaixu fall to the ground, and the basketball slowly stopped at his feet.

"Uh...... Are you alright?" Wei Heqiu and Wu Shaoqi immediately went over to help him up.

"Ahhh,......h It should be fine......" Shen Huaixu touched his head and smiled at the two, suddenly exclaimed, and hurriedly turned his head and asked, "Little M, did I step on someone?"

"Well, yes. You step on the basketball to provoke. Wu Shaoqi quipped.

"Huh?" 'he' not hurt, is he?" Shen Huaixu didn't react for a while, and asked with a sincere face.

"Uh......" Wu Shaoqi had nothing to say.

"It's badly wounded, and like you, my brain is broken. Wei Heqiu reluctantly turned his face away and picked up the basketball.

Shen Huaixu opened his mind and smiled awkwardly. "Aha...... All right...... Oh, that's right! Let's go watch Qin Chuan play! He's amazing! A large crowd of people are crowding around!" Shen Huaixu patted the dust on his clothes and pointed to the badminton court in the distance.

"Hehe, that Lin Dan of China on a distant planet, I don't know where he is taller. Wei Heqiu smiled lightly, his eyebrows stretched mischievously.

"It's true, he's got the third place in the provincial non-professional competition! ”

"Oh, okay, let's go check it out. ”

Qin Chuan is indeed very strong in badminton, and he is unique in this class, and he is one of the top players in the whole school. Playing with the girls, he can always pick up the tricky incoming ball with agility, and skillfully swing the racket, just to send the ball to the place where the opposite girl can reach with a wave of his hand. Therefore, the girls are happy to play badminton with him.

Today's onlookers were twice as large as usual, but not only because of today's special excitement, but also because the girl who participated in the "Qinchuan Badminton Special Training Class" accidentally fell, bruised her arm and leg, and sprained her foot.

The girl who fell to the ground propped up her upper body, with dead leaves in her hair, tears in her eyes, looking at her blood-soaked hands, she was startled, and then bit her lip and let out a soft whimper.

"Summer, summer, are you okay?" several girls in the dormitory with her hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

"I ...... Ah......h I can't stand up......" The girl named Wu Duxia cried, her delicate face began to redden, and tears floated on her moving eyes, and no one was distressed when she saw it.

"Huh, can't you walk, do you have to go up the stairs to get to the infirmary......"

"Woo......"

Qin Chuan's expression was serious, and his head was lowered. He felt that his mistake had caused Natsu to be injured, for which he blamed himself and regretted it. He felt the need to do everything he could to help her and make up for his mistakes. The first priority, of course, was to take her to the infirmary. Although he couldn't walk around in the summer, he should be able to carry her to the infirmary. However, with so many people watching, wouldn't she be embarrassed if she carried her?...... Alas, there's no time to dwell on this, it's important to save people!

So he made up his mind, walked straight to the side of Ganxia, and said solemnly: "Duxia! Please let me carry you to the infirmary! That is my fault, and I must make up for it!"

"Huh?" The girls around Xia Xia were stunned for a moment when they heard these dignified words. And he didn't know what to do, but just looked at him with blank eyes.

Seeing this, the people around were talking about it, and there was something called gossip floating in the air. The girl, who had chewed half of the dry food, heard the commotion and also poked her head out to observe.

Qin Chuan looked a little nervous, swallowed his saliva, and continued: "Although, this is not good, but healing is important, please believe me!"

Xia hesitated for a moment, but slowly stretched out her hand. At this time, a lazy voice sounded: "Don't waste your efforts. ”

Qin Chuan looked at He Qiu with a puzzled face, "How can this be a waste of effort?"

Wei Heqiu tilted his head and looked at the garage and said, "Look there, the infirmary's teacher's car is not there, probably on a business trip." ”

"That'...... What should I do?" the girls were anxious when they saw that the wound was still bleeding.

"Call and see if the teacher can come back. ”

One of the girls immediately went to the PE teacher to borrow a mobile phone. Others can only comfort and comfort the summer. Qin Chuan felt helpless and sighed.

"Don't worry, you can't die. Wei Heqiu looked at Qin Chuan's sad and distressed appearance, and preached in a lazy voice as always.

"Let it go, let it go...... "A weak figure squeezed out of the crowd, I don't know if he didn't stand still when he squeezed out of the crowd or tripped over himself, and he fell to the ground with the schoolbag on his back at some point. Fortunately, Shaoqi caught him quickly, otherwise he probably wouldn't be much better than the summer over there.

Who is this? Why look at it with your spare eyes? Oh......? What does he want to do?

"Uh...... What are you?" Shao Qi held the Huai Su in his arms.

"The medicine box is inside!" Huai Xu pointed to the schoolbag, smiled at him, and ran to the side of Xia in small steps. "Can you please give way?" the girls were puzzled, but still gave way to him. He first inspected Duan Xia's wound and muttered, "It's okay, it's okay, the wound is not deep......"

"Hey, don't mess around......" The girl next to him didn't seem to approve of him.

"Uh-huh, don't worry~" Huai Xu replied with a reassuring smile.

Who would have known that his bag still hid so many things that would only be found in hospitals. He first used tweezers to hold a medical cotton ball, soaked it in saline to skillfully clean the wound, and then carefully disinfected it with a cotton ball dipped in iodine, with just enough strength not to hurt her. Then sprinkle lightly with white medicine and notoginseng powder, and finally take out gauze and bandages from a small box and carefully bandage them.

"Is this better?" asked Huai Xu with a sweet smile.

"Hmm......" she nodded. When Shen Huaixu just started to clean the wound, her pain had been reduced a lot, and she was afraid that the smile had the magic of analgesia.

"I just bandaged the skin wound, and when the infirmary teacher came back, I wanted her to see if the joint was twisted. ”

"Well, thank you......"

All these girls hiding in the shadows are in their eyes. "That's ...... Magic!" I didn't expect that there were people who used magic in the mortal world. It's like finding a blooming narcissus in a dry and barren desert.

The girls helped Wu Qianxia to sit on the stone chair, and Qin Chuan came over and solemnly apologized to her. Wu Shaoqi and Wei Heqiu went back to practice basketball, Shen Huaixu knelt on one knee and sorted out his things, and looked sideways, feeling that something in his heart was swaying and heating up. If this kind of gentleness can belong to one person alone, then how lucky this person should be.

Soon after, the infirmary teacher arrived in a hurry and checked the sprained ankle, but fortunately there was no fracture. He also praised Shen Huaixu's timely handling.

I forgot to mention that Shen Huaixu's family has practiced medicine for five generations, and his parents are both senior doctors.

The bell rang for the end of class, and the four of them walked together.

"Xiao Huai, what an enviable skill!"

"Huai Su, please teach me medical skills! So that I can do something if my sister is injured in the future!"

"Ahh......h

"In my opinion, when you are in high school, you can still fall on the ground, so you have to bring some medicine with you. ”

............

At the top of the school building, where no one noticed, was a tall, blue-skinned humanoid creature. Dressed in armor and wearing a mask on his face, he stood in the wind with a knife in his hand.

"This is it, a very strong feeling. It slowly opened its eyes and looked down at the peaceful campus.
