After that, this matter is not completely dealt with, because there is still finishing work to be done. Specifically, check to see if anyone else in the academy has come into contact with the name, and the aftermath of Professor Vader Occam's death.

However, neither of these things was difficult, the former required only patience and time, while the latter, after a series of investigations, the Inspectorate found that Professor Vader had no family and no relatives. Then this matter is very easy to handle, and you can give an explanation to the outside world for any reason......

Early in the morning, Brian woke up from his bed at home, five days after the Honorific Incident, during which time he had almost given up his studies at the academy, spending most of his time in the "Catherine Show", and was resting at night by his brother Knoll home.

Specifically, he learned the occult from Mr. Cole, and from Lady Catherine to learn fighting skills and firearms skills. What Brian never expected was that Ms. Catherine, who had always been lazy and tired, was far beyond his imagination in terms of fighting.

Of course, the investigation into the "lost luck case" is still going on every night, but there has been no clue for so long.

"Play! Play! Play!" Brian whispered in an emotional voice as he got up. Although he has been studying for the past few days, his mastery of "magician" has not increased, which makes him very irritable.

"We have to find a way...... Well, since you are becoming a magician in the eyes of others, it is better to ask others what they think of magicians, or go directly to a magic show and ask about the real magician. ”

After washing up in the bathroom, Brian changed into his favorite brown coat and top hat of the same color, picked up a deck of playing cards, and headed to the "Catherine Show".

Twenty minutes later, Brian stepped into the performance troupe and saw Demi Sully, who had long brown shawl hair and a plain white dress, looking down at something at the counter.

He stretched out his left hand and took off his hat and placed it on his chest, and greeted with a smile, "Good morning, Miss Demi!"

Demi raised her head, looked at the young man at the door with a clear and transparent gaze, and said with a smile: "Good morning, Brian, I find that you are really getting more and more charming, and from time to time there will be a mature temperament."

Brian smiled shyly, did not respond to this, but stretched out his right hand, briefly covered it in the air with a top hat, and then a pale yellow carnation representing friendship and purity appeared in his hand.

"Miss Demi, this is for you."

"Wow! How do you do it. Demi stood up suddenly, covering her mouth in surprise, her dark black pupils filled with disbelief.

"It's a magic trick." Brian kept the posture of handing flowers and said lightly.

When the surprise gradually moved away from the high point, Demi took the flowers, but it was still difficult to hide her excitement. She said "wait" as she picked up a half-opened book from the counter and demonstrated:

"That Brian, can you tell the magic in this book?"

"Huh?" Brian took the book suspiciously, first glanced at the name of the book, and then quickly flipped through and looked at the contents pretentiously.

The book is called "Herman the Thief", and it tells the story of a magician named Herman who uses his magic skills to steal from wealthy and wealthy merchants who have a low reputation and misbehave, and use the stolen goods to help the miserable and kind people in the slums.

Brian is noncommittal about this kind of behavior, but there are many places in the text that the magician and magic are described very deeply, which makes him feel that he is suddenly enlightened.

My next "play" will be able to learn from Herman of the book. For example, being prepared for magic at all times and being able to perform anytime and anywhere; Another example is to dress up to look more like a magician.

Well, I can also keep some pigeons like Herman......

Returning the novel to Demi, Brian shook his head and said apologetically, "I'm just a newcomer in the field of magic, and I can't see the magic tricks in it." But I have to thank you, Miss Demi, for inspiring me!"

"I don't know what I can help, but I'm glad I can help you." Demi tilted her head and said something dumbfounded. Although she knew that there were mysterious and strange forces in this world, she didn't understand it, so naturally she didn't know what was going on.

Separated from Demi, Brian walked into the backyard of the troupe and saw the green-haired, green-eyed, green-clad nature elf, Lulu Senior. At this moment, she was looking left and right with a bottle of potion, as if she was looking for someone.

Seeing Brian suddenly appear at the door, Lulu's eyes instantly brightened, and she ran to Brian and looked at him with sincere eyes.

"Brian, this is a potion I just developed, it has the effect of promoting body growth and removing diseases, do you want to try it?"

Since the distance between the two was somewhat close, Brian took a step back slightly before setting his sights on the potion. It was a fist-sized flask, pale blue in color, and still bubbling.

"This ......" Brian's throat swelled meaninglessly, and he unconsciously took another step back, and at the same time remembered a story Arnold had told, a story about his chest getting bigger.

"Miss Lulu, I still don't want it, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to my brother if I suddenly grow taller......"

"Don't worry! Feel relieved! No problem! The growth effect of this bottle of medicine is very slow, and its main function is to cure diseases. Elf Lulu didn't seem to understand the euphemistic refusal, her eyes widened and she looked innocent, leaning her body forward, almost touching her face to Brian.

"Just give it a try!"

"Alas......" Looking at the delicate face that could not be refused, Brian hesitated for a while, sighed in his heart, and then hurriedly stepped back again, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly and agreed: "Okay, I'll try."

Taking the potion from the delighted Lulu, he closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp. A bitter taste spreads in the mouth, then through the esophagus and into the stomach.

Choked by the unexpected taste, Brian bent down uncomfortably and "coughed" a few times before slowly relieving himself.

"It's so unpleasant, does the potion taste like this?"

Lulu thought for a moment and replied seriously, "Most potions are unpalatable, after all, the ingredients used to make potions are not delicious, and even many of them cannot be eaten until they are processed."

Then she asked curiously, "How is Brian, do you feel after drinking the potion?"

"Feelings?" Brian felt it quietly, and there seemed to be nothing special except for the bitter taste that remained in his mouth.

Just as Brian was about to say this, he suddenly felt some itching on the top of his head, so he instinctively reached out and scratched it, but before he could scratch it a few times, he felt that his fingers were sticky, as if he had touched something, and the top of his head was getting more and more itchy.

"What's going on?" With a puzzled face, he withdrew his palm to check, and Brian's expression suddenly became extremely weird, because his hands were covered with sticky blood at this time.

But he wasn't too scared, after all, there were a lot of professionals around him, so he wouldn't suddenly die here.

At this time, Arnold, who was wearing a light yellow trench coat and was still a little weak, but with a smile on his lips, walked out of the room. He saw Brian and Elf Lulu at a glance, and was about to say hello when he saw a grass growing on top of Brian's head, the size of a middle finger, of unknown species.

"Brian, why did you get a piece of grass on your head?"

Lulu opened her mouth wide and covered the corners of her mouth with her hands, apparently seeing the changes that had taken place in Brian. She quickly took a few steps forward, saying "sorry" as she checked for the emergency.

Brian, on the other hand, closed his eyes and was silently speechless after knowing what was going on above his head, while feeling the feeling of great regret. It turns out that you can't eat things like medicine!

I'm not going to live on a stick of grass in the future, am I? Or is it to become a weirdo with plants all over his body?

Arnold walked to the two of them, and couldn't help but shake his head, some wanted to laugh but couldn't, and wanted to say something but couldn't say it.

After a few minutes, Lulu withdrew her hand and said with a relieved expression, "Don't worry! Feel relieved! Nothing is a problem! It's just that the medicinal effect is too strong, and the emerald grass in the potion is ripe, and it won't affect you in any way. On the contrary, Brian you will also gain a certain 'natural affinity'. ”

Knowing that his life was not in danger, Brian breathed a sigh ......of relief and asked worriedly, "Then how can I get rid of this grass?" Is it okay to just unplug it? ”

"No, that could happen." Lulu shook her head solemnly and said, "But don't worry too much, it will run out of nutrients in a few days, and it will naturally wither and fall off."

"Okay, I'll go wash it up." With that, Brian walked alone towards the bathroom, ready to wash the blood on the top of his head and palms......

When Brian came out, he saw that Lady Catherine had come out at some point, and was talking to Arnold.

He walked over curiously, wanting to hear what the two were talking about, and heard Arnold say, "Captain, I have thoroughly mastered the 'Midnight Poet', and I can try the 'Grading Performance'."

"In more than two years, you have been much faster than I expected, and you are also very talented." Lady Catherine reminisced about her past with Arnold, and sighed at the years. That little boy who used to cry is now a mature professional!

After calming down, she asked, "What is the specific process of 'grading performance'?"

Arnold did not hesitate to say: "Do a poetry performance and resonate with the emotions of at least 10,000 people."

Ms. Catherine nodded: "Got it, let's see if the performance troupe can get a commission recently, if not, I will arrange a chance for you." In the next few days, you can prepare well!"

Seeing that the two were almost talking, Brian, who had been listening to the clouds beside him, asked, "Lady Catherine, Arnold, what are you talking about?" What is a 'Graded Performance'? ”

Ms. Catherine lazily did not answer, and Arnold explained: "'Grading performance' is one of the necessary processes for the promotion of professionals."

"After a professional has mastered the career card through 'playing' or other means, he must perform a 'performance' to stabilize his mastery of the career card and his supernatural powers. At the same time, professionals will make a qualitative leap after completing the 'performance', which is much better than that of the same profession who has not completed the 'performance'. ”

"I see." Brian nodded in understanding. Now he is no longer a rookie in the field of occultism, and he can still understand some simple things quickly.

At this time, Ms. Catherine, who was dressed in a white robe, smiled, "Brian, are you ready for today's training?"

"Of course!"

……

"Catherine Show" in the spacious backyard. Brian Morris, who took off his brown jacket and wore a smart short-sleeved outfit, was training in basic martial arts with a lazy and slightly boring Ms. Catherine.

The two of them moved quickly and powerfully, punching to the flesh with each blow, and occasionally bringing a small gust of wind. However, the area where the two of them can move is very small, only about two square meters.

Lady Catherine, dressed in a white robe, leaned back and easily dodged Brian's uppercut. She then slammed her legs hard and set a standard slalom kick that hit Brian's left waist.

Brian reacted quickly and took the blow with his wrist by feeling, but in the end, due to lack of strength and physical fitness, he was kicked straight out and kicked three meters away.

"Yes, I lasted 43 seconds today, and I improved very quickly." After an objective evaluation, Ms. Catherine suggested: "Continuing to do your usual exercise is good for you now." Also, when you're playing with people in the fight club, try to dodge, after all, 'Magicians' aren't good at hand-to-hand combat. ”

The fight club is where Brian has been going for the next few days, mainly to have more time to learn martial arts skills in addition to Ms. Catherine's teaching time.

For the same purpose, there is also the shooting club, where Brian has learned to shoot in recent days.

With an uncomfortable "snort", the grass swaying from side to side on Brian's head got up. Gently patting the dust that had just rolled up on his body, he looked down in disappointment and replied, "I will, Lady Catherine."

As a "hypnotist", Ms. Catherine saw Brian's thoughts at once, and said with a blank expression: "Don't have too much pressure, just take your time, you who have mastered the 'magician' have a good control of body coordination, and you have made great progress in the past few days."

"I will." Brian smiled and asked something else, "Lady Catherine, do you have any suggestions for the 'magician' to play?"

Lady Catherine put her hands in her pockets and nodded, "Come with me!"

The two went to the mailbox outside the troupe, took out a few parcels from it, and beckoned Miss Demi Sully, Mr. Cole Terry, and Miss Lulu Senior, and gathered together with Arnold in a room in the courtyard.

Ms. Catherine looked through several parcels at random, then took out one of them and opened it, revealing a stack of pounds of different denominations in front of several people.

She broke up the pound sterling, divided it into seven unequal parts, and distributed it to six members, including herself, and the remaining one was used as a fund for the performance troupe's activities next week.

"Thank you."

"Thank you, Captain"

“……”

After everyone thanked them, everyone had different expressions, Arnold, Lulu and Cole looked indifferent, but Brian and Demi were very excited, because their lives were not rich.

After receiving the salary, Demi very consciously exited the room and returned to the front desk of the performance troupe, waiting for the guests who did not know when they would appear.

The reason why Demi did this was not that she didn't know what was going on, but that she wasn't very interested, and she wasn't a professional. Rather than those more dangerous tasks, she prefers to stay at the front desk all day, reading her favorite novels while waiting for customer commissions.

At this time, Ms. Catherine opened the remaining packages in turn, and after some confirmation, handed Brian one of them with a smaller content:

"This is what I applied to you above, about the skills of 'magician' 'playing', and the introduction of some 'magician' extraordinary abilities, as well as the corresponding methods of obtaining them."

"Thank you!" Brian's expression was slightly surprised, this matter had never been mentioned by Lady Catherine before, and he naturally did not know that it could be done like this. But at the same time of the accident, I still thanked him very sincerely.

"Hmm." Ms. Catherine nodded slightly, and took out a small gift box from one of the packages, and a piece of white paper with handwriting on it.

She put down the gift box, picked up the blank paper and looked at it:

"Special-grade seal, 'Wanderer's Micro Seal'."

"Ability: The wearer will not be able to be divined, perceived, or influenced by the Sage Rank Professional. It also allows the wearer to have memories that can be remembered, and the ability to weaken the power of spells. ”

"Negative effects: When wearing the seal, the user will have cognitive confusion about the environment, and the longer the seal is worn, the stronger the negative effects will be. In light cases, they will fall into a state of getting lost, and in severe cases, they will seriously affect their perception and get involved in illusions. ”

"Sealing Method: At 8-9 a.m., 5-6 p.m., and 12-1 a.m. daily, the 'Wanderer Badge' needs to be placed in a small, enclosed space. Otherwise, the 'Wanderer's Emblem' will generate a certain amount of activity and run away on its own. ”

"Note 1: The negative effects of the 'Wanderer's Badge' and mental abilities can be alleviated to a certain extent, but they cannot be completely eliminated. It is recommended to use no more than 20 minutes per use, and if there is a way to alleviate it, it is recommended to use it for no more than 30 minutes per use. ”

"Note 2: This seal has a small negative effect and is practical, so please be sure to seal it on time."

—Deacon of District C, Adrien Dalty.

"After waiting so long, it was finally delivered." Lady Catherine put away the blank paper and complained helplessly. She had applied for an anti-divination type seal ten days ago, but it took ten days to get it.

Suddenly, Cole, who had been standing behind him and watching silently, wearing a gray coat and gray hair, said: "This seal is really good, is there any speculation about the professional of the 'lost luck case'?"

Lady Catherine lazily raised the lonely white paper in her hand: "You see, the content is just this one, and the rest of the package is about the accumulation of meritorious deeds, and there can be no more."

Cole continued, "So when are we going to act?"

"Let's observe!" Ms. Catherine hesitated and said: "In recent days, the number of people about the 'lost luck case' has been gradually decreasing, I don't know what the reason is, but we still have to be careful, even if we let him go, it's nothing."

Well, be careful, you guys were too reckless before......" Cole nodded in agreement.

Ms. Catherine added, "By the way, Mr. Cole remembered to build Brian a revolver, it's best to hurry, he learned to shoot very quickly."

Cole agreed: "No problem!"
