"Astrology...Astrology..."

The petite and beautiful girl sorcerer was lying in front of the experiment table boredly, fiddled with the stack of finely crafted rectangular cards in front of her with a lack of interest, and muttered with her mouth curled up: "This kind of nagging stuff is really exciting. No energy, no, it’s not so much that I don’t have energy, it’s better to say that my compatibility is too bad, ahhhhh, so annoying!”

Taking off the glasses casually and throwing them aside, Futaba stood up abruptly, threw herself on the soft and comfortable cushion next to the chair, rubbed it vigorously like a little female cat who just escaped from the bathroom, and at the same time let out There was a series of unexplained but cute-sounding purrs.

Immediately after...

Just when the girl was about to give up this whim practice and continue to study the epic-level high-level magic that she had just dabbled in for a long time, the door opposite the room suddenly opened silently.

"Well, what are you doing here, Diana?"

The girl asked without raising her head, and accurately guessed the identity of the person who came.

"I did a divination."

Wearing a black long dress with a simple style but flowing with stars, the great astrologer Diana A. Archizolti with a pretty face and skin as white as the first snow walked into the laboratory slowly. The blue eyes stared at the apprentice in front of him with a half-smile: "I found that someone seems to have encountered a bottleneck in the study of astrology, so I came here to visit for a while."

Futaba rolled her eyes: "You're cheating! Cheating!"

"Well?"

Diana tilted her head in a daze, and asked curiously, "Did my divination go wrong?"

"It's cheating because it's right. Really, even the actions of an outsider like me can tell what the hell it is..."

Futaba stood up muttering, and then fell back on the mat with a 'slap' the moment she looked at Diana, and said in horror: "Wow wow wow! Diana, what unclean did you eat? Something! What's going on with this look!"

Diana was also surprised, and whispered with a reddish face: "Hey! It's... very strange..."

"It's not a question of whether it's strange or not!"

Futaba staggered and got up again, the corners of her mouth twitched as she looked at the big astrologer who was not as messy as she was most of the time, but definitely not much better, her face was full of crap: "Skirt! This is Skirt! You're not wearing a robe, Diana!"

Diana, whose complexion became more and more 'ruddy', bit her lower lip lightly, and murmured with a somewhat depressed expression: "Just...even I, I would like to wear a skirt occasionally..."

"It's outrageous! What do you mean you want to wear a skirt once in a while!"

Futaba took a breath, and said in a trembling voice: "We've known each other for so long, I haven't seen you wearing anything other than a magic robe once! Even the underwear is very little exposed, with a refreshing enchantment. What a fun-loving businessaholic style!"

Diana was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously and cutely jumped on the spot, blushing and shouting: "Why do you know what kind of underwear I'm wearing!!"

"Hey, don't worry about the small details, I also know that you are wearing a sexy black suspender~"

Futaba waved her hand, casually dismissed the topic of underwear and gave Diana a stab, then trotted to the latter to look carefully at the big astrologer whose shoulders were starting to turn red and his head was bowed down. , frowned and said: "Also, you didn't wear those rustic glasses today, and your hair seems to have been carefully groomed, wow! It's so silky!"

It's rare to comb her long flaxen hair neatly, and even use magic to shape her. While dodging Futaba's claws in embarrassment, Diana asked in a vibrato that made people feel like she was about to cry. Said: "Sure enough... is it strange? I look like this..."

"Nonsense, of course it's strange. It's so strange that I thought I was blind at one point."

While continuing to attack Diana's hair, Futaba said with a smile: "But it's only limited to me who knows what kind of virtue you usually have. If you let outsiders see it, they should think it's very beautiful, probably~"

Diana's voice had already begun to cry: "But...but he is not an outsider!"

"Ah~ ah~ I know, I know~"

Futaba, who finally succeeded in messing up Diana's hairstyle, curled her lips, hugged the former who was a head taller than herself, and whispered in her ear: "I want to dress myself beautifully, and give that damn Mr. Frank Hughes, don't you?"

While brushing her smooth flaxen hair, Diana glared at Futaba angrily: "What do you mean by 'damn', don't be so prejudiced against him like your brother, please! Frank is very nice of!"

"I know, I just said it casually."

Futaba, who didn't tell Diana about the deal between himself and Kenneth, shrugged, went to the pile of cushions next to the experiment table and lay down: "I remember we set off tomorrow? Is there anything else? If nothing happens, let I'll take a good rest first."

This is an expulsion order.

As for the reason, of course it is not because Futaba really wants to take a good rest, but because of her understanding of Diana, when the latter knows that she has started to study astrology on a whim, she will definitely...

"I plan to stay for a while, it's rare that you are interested in astrology~"

Diana had no intention of leaving at all, but went straight to Futaba and sat down, and said with a smile: "What's the problem? Let me teach you."

Although Futaba's mentor is the same as her best friend Anata Rasha, Diana has always felt that she is not qualified as a mentor at all, because Futaba is very enthusiastic when practicing magic, but in her own The field of astrology, which she is best at, has hardly made any achievements. Although this girl has memorized the basic theory very solidly, she has hardly put in the slightest investment in the direction of practical application. This cannot prevent Diana from feeling frustrated.

Even if Ana is indeed Futaba's official mentor, even if she is at best half a mentor, or something like a temporary guardian, Diana has always been very enthusiastic about 'teaching Futaba'.

There is no other reason, to have a student like Futaba is simply too happy.

As a close friend, it was the first time that Diana felt jealous of Tal Rasha so strongly, because Student Futaba was so outstanding, she still remembered the first time she saw Tara Rasha The scene when Futaba was teaching was simply outrageous!

Most of the theories will be memorized immediately after listening to them once. For ordinary high-level mages, it takes at least two weeks to understand and study the third to seventh sections of "Advanced Arcane Art" in just three hours. Any stereotypes told to her will be inferred from one instance to another or even reversed. From time to time, some viewpoints that even people at the level of myself and Tal Rasha will fall into deep thought and subconsciously follow their ideas.

Tal Rasha once said such a sentence in a chat - the most suitable profession for Futaba in this world is not 'mage' or 'scholar', but 'student'!
Because the girl's learning ability, thinking speed, and comprehension have reached an unbelievable level, no matter how bad the instructor is, she will gain a great sense of accomplishment from Futaba.

There is no doubt that Tal Rasha is very addicted to this sense of accomplishment.

And after getting along for a short time, Diana also wanted to have this sense of accomplishment, which is the core reason why she agreed to her friend to be Futaba's other mentor.

However, as the saying goes, life is unsatisfactory in all likelihood. Although she became Futaba's mentor and later got along day and night, Diana's achievements in the latter's education were a mess.

It's not because Futaba has no potential in astrology. In fact, Diana feels that this girl has outstanding talent in any field (except maybe hand-to-hand combat). I have no interest in studying.

It is true that Diana, as one of the three major astrologers in the Continent of Innocence, besides astrology, also has deep attainments in water magic and arcane magic, which is the epic level of a magister, but compared to Ah Na Tarasha's monster-like magister, she knew she was still far behind.

That is to say, in terms of elemental magic, Futaba, who has been taught by Tal Rasha for a long time, does not need to teach it by herself!
If you want to reap the pleasure of pointing a genius, you must make a breakthrough in the field of astrology!

To be precise, it was a breakthrough in getting Futaba interested in the field of astrology!

That's why Diana rushed over today when she discovered that this girl seemed to be studying astrology, and she didn't even have time to change her clothes.

"Question... Well, actually, I'm just researching and researching casually... Here, research this."

Futaba, who had already seen Diana's thoughts, curled up on the mat, muttered weakly, and then raised her hand, and the stack of cards on the experimental table was 'flicked' into her hand by a gentle wind element.

"Oh, I know!"

Seeing that Futaba did not interrupt the topic directly, Diana immediately said with great interest: "This is a divination card you made based on the original world, I remember the interpretation you told me before, although it has nothing to do with the stars, But it also seems to be very interesting!"

Futaba twitched the corner of her mouth, flicked her fingers, and casually popped three cards out of the stack of homemade tarot cards, and rolled her eyes: "Then I played with the principles of divination you taught me, and the result ...Alas, it is indeed so.”

"What kind?"

Diana took the tarot card from Futaba, opened it, frowned, and said, "This is... the god of death, the tower and the sun... um... let me think about it... "

Futaba sighed, and interrupted Diana impatiently: "Don't think about it, I have already done the interpretation, or I don't need to interpret it at all to know what it means. In short, death means that something may happen to me. , The tower represents that I may have an accident, the reversed sun... Heh, it is probably the cause of my accident."

"Is that right?"

Diana asked without raising her head, and continued to look at the three cards in her hand that made Futaba feel very uncomfortable.

"That's it. As long as you use the divination knowledge you taught me, no matter how you draw, you will always get these three cards. Ha, what's the matter with this meow, old lady? Really, it's not reliable at all."

Futaba cursed angrily, and said in a low voice: "My old lady knows astronomy and geography, and she beats that garbage all the time online and offline, and random battles in public spaces can casually knock out all the top [-] rankings." The scumbag is the youngest resident mage in the City of Miracles. The backing is too strong to be a fortress. If you want to have a brain, you need to have a good appearance, and if you want to plot tricks, you need to plot tricks. Is something wrong with my old lady? That scumbag who even fell out of the overall strength list!"

Diana was taken aback by the manic aura on Futaba's body that was almost visible to the naked eye, and said softly, "Young Futaba... calm down."

"I'm not calm!"

Futaba wrinkled her nose and snorted softly, "I'm just very upset! Very, very upset!"

"Actually, even if it doesn't seem to have a good meaning, it doesn't necessarily mean that something bad will happen. It doesn't matter whether it's the astrolabe or you, er, the Tarot cards are all the same."

Diana smiled, and gently stroked the three tarot cards in her hand: "If you follow the interpretation you told me before, for example, um... I don't know how you understand the reversed sun, but there are also Maybe it means that your competitive mentality is too heavy and you need to relax properly?"

Futaba shook her head: "Although you certainly don't know what it is, I can tell you very clearly that it represents [Black Sun]."

"In divination, there is never such a thing as 'clear'."

Diana said noncommittally, and then took out a second card: "Then, the tower in the right position, although this card itself has almost no positive meaning, it has the characteristic of 'suggesting changes', so you can also move towards it." Think about the good side, for example, when you do something that goes against your own common sense, you will get good results~”

Futaba remained expressionless: "No, I think this is simply 'adversity' and 'fatal blow'."

"Fate may be direct, but it is never simple."

Diana smiled and picked up the third card: "Finally, how do you understand the upright Death?"

"Failure and death."

Futaba gave an answer without hesitation.

"But in my opinion, it also has the meaning of 'restart', of course, if the interpretation you told me before is correct."

Diana handed the three cards back to Futaba, and said with a smile: "Maybe you will lose some benefits, but there may be new developments, and... new changes in the relationship, starting a new stage, hehe, I don’t know why I feel a little envious.”

"Don't bring your love brain into me."

Futaba smiled dryly and shrugged...

"Your family's fate, I just simply think that my old lady is going to be unlucky."
