Staring at the gray-haired witch carefully for a while, Riji felt a sense of familiarity.

A name comes to mind - Fujinaga Yuya.

Not only is this guy an alumnus, but the two of them know each other. Although they are not in the same class, they are in the same grade, and they can meet at school every day.

Fujinaga ...... You're also here to buy books? ”

Riji greeted him in an awkward way comparable to "It's really nice today", and almost grabbed the ground with both feet.

She's also very bad at communicating with girls her age, with the exception of her sister Shizuru. Shizuru belongs to the young but precocious type, not to mention that they are also sisters by blood, and there is no barrier between them.

Fujinaga is different, she has a mature personality but is difficult to get along with.

Some unpleasant memories are like seawater pouring into the brain, and the body's control center sends the highest level of warning signals to the body, urging the body to evacuate.

"Isn't that a matter of course? My family also has a stake in this bookstore, and my mothers expect me to read more and master all level 8 basic magic before I go to college. But you, why are you holding a level 2 magic book? ”

Pretty azure eyes stared at the book in Ruiji's arms with a confused expression. Maybe it's because Fujinaga is naturally arrogant, and with his tall figure, he always gives people the impression of despising everything.

The excellent appearance, the delicate nose bridge and facial lines, and the balance between the gentleness and softness of the Japanese and the three-dimensionality of the Westerners, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a golden ratio.

In fact, Fujinaga has the capital to look down on a lot of things. She was born in one of Japan's famous foundations, the Fujinaga Foundation, is the eldest daughter of the family, the first heir to the family, and runs a large shrine in Tokyo, and from time to time she will be asked to be a surrogate shrine maiden for ceremonies.

The offspring of the Eastern Witch and the Western Witch who are blessed and born by the Tree of Origin will naturally be favored by many parties.

A girl who was born with a golden spoon in her mouth and grew into a top student naturally couldn't be able to look at level 2 magic. She had already mastered Level 5 when she entered high school in her first year of high school, and she was naturally the center of attention.

Rydge thinks of a character who appears in the witch-themed anime - Diana Cavendis.

In the face of these scorching beautiful eyes, Ruiji was a little weak-hearted.

"I buy study materials to consolidate my previous knowledge."

Rather than consolidating knowledge, she didn't even lay the foundation, which was just an attempt to save her dignity. How bad the original Ruiji is, you can estimate it with your toes.

Fujinaga seemed to snort coldly.

"There are still 6 months left, and hopefully you won't be on the list of repeaters on the end of the third semester. Shizuru has a hard time supporting the shrine by herself, and she can often be seen running between the various wards of Tokyo. When will you be able to take on the responsibilities of your sister? ”

The last question hit the heart, and Ruiji was speechless, so he had to stand still and watch Fujinaga leave. The best way to be reprimanded by the top student in the first grade with words as sharp as a needle is to obey her.

Those words don't seem to be wrong.

"I still have cram school to attend, I'll be out of company first, see you at school next week."

Fujinaga bowed to her, with no personal emotion on his face, extremely cold, and not even a little bit of the attitude that an alumnus should have.

The gray and black intertwined Qingli back was overwhelmed by the sea of books and crowds, and the level 2 magic book in her arms was a little stinging to the eyes.

"I can't be a Big Ben now, the top students dare to paste their grades on their faces, and they can't help but work hard."

Sending and swinging, it's really a shame to be yourself. The aroma of food wafting from the restaurant opposite the bookstore suddenly became tasteless, and the body was filled with a desire to make progress that burned after beating chicken blood, commonly known as learning enthusiasm.

This enthusiasm may be a one-time thing, and it will return to a sluggish state after the blood burns. What she had to do was to learn and use the level 4 magic required by the school before that day came.

It was a big challenge to reminisce about the taste of hard work in the past, and it made her, a classic social animal in her previous life, feel threatened by the school.

The advantage of witches is not only that they can use powerful magic, but also that their mental power is stronger than that of ordinary humans. Humans need 8 hours of exquisite sleep, witches only need to sleep for 3 to 4 hours, and the remaining 20 hours can be used casually, such as the last day of the holiday, one person and a pen, creating a pile of miracles.

If you remove the time spent on daily tasks such as eating and bathing, if you are the king of volumes, you can squeeze out about 18 hours of studying. Some witches who are obsessed with magic study or subject research will really spend so much time and are willing to burn a whole day of energy to soak in the sea of books.

Fujinaga is definitely that kind of person, and Ruiji knows the mentality of top students very well. In order not to let the people behind them catch up, they study frantically with a mentality close to neuroticism, and there is nothing left in their lives but their studies.

That tired life is completely out of tune with me.

She went to the cashier to check out the cashier with the level 2 magic book, and her tense nerves were only relaxed after she was completely away from Fujinaga. The books are packed in beautiful handbags by the clerks and packaged like gifts sold in luxury stores.

The portable paper bag is flexible, and it is a kind of load-bearing kraft paper made by spells.

Ruiji went to the bar next to her and mixed a cup of iced tea, wearing a white shirt, a short black skirt, and a cyan apron on the outside, and the witch listened patiently to the request, and put in just the right amount of ice cubes and sugar.

Walking out of the bookstore, she was still in a trance, feeling as sad as being forced to leave home to go to school. The body is attached to the air conditioning and soft sofas in the bookstore, but there are no such beautiful things in my real home.

"It's the most famous bookstore chain in Japan, and it's almost up to the service level of Western restaurants."

Looking down at the electronic watch on his wrist, it was nearly two o'clock in the afternoon. Riji has nowhere to go and nothing to do, except to study. The heavy paper bag in his hand contains the tasks for the next period of time, which is the key to whether he can be promoted to the third grade of high school next year.

She went to the storage near the airport to take out the broom, returned the number plate, hung the paper bag on the broom's head, and took off easily.

The afternoon sun is not only not diminished compared to the middle of the day, but even stronger, and flying on a broom gives you the illusion that it will melt on the spot. It is illegal to fly with an umbrella, and if you are unlucky enough to encounter an air police witch, you will be stopped and pay a fine of 400-1,000 yen.

If the accident is serious, the broom's driving license will be revoked.

The thin sun-protective clothing makes the body wrapped underneath feel stuffy, and every pore protests and needs a cool and comfortable environment. Ruiji squinted at the harsh sunlight and flew as close to the building's shadows as possible.

Leaving behind, the Ginza floating commercial district is bathed in a dazzling golden light, like a temple made of pure gold.
