My love game is too abstract.

Chapter 14 Bear, Magic, Diary (2)

"October 10th, sunny"

"I can't believe Qiu Lisha actually chose me! She even praised me for being smart and talented. Oh, it's so embarrassing! All my classmates envy me for being chosen as a disciple by a purple-gold-level magician."

"October 10, cloudy"

"From today on, I'm going to follow Qiu Lisha to practice magic! I'm so excited about it, but I heard that I'll be going to a very far place and away from my parents. But as long as I can learn powerful spells and become a great magician, it will all be worth it! Come on! Serena!"

"October 11th, sunny"

"I arrived at Qiu Lisha's home today. She's truly a great magician, living in such a beautiful place with mountains, water, and a large field of flowers. There are also many small animals, all of whom are very close to Qiu Lisha. Qiu Lisha told me that these animals are like children to her, and they've always been her companions. Although I like animals, preparing more than 20 servings of food for just one meal is too much trouble!"

"October 11th, sunny"

"Oh, learning magic is so hard. I listened to Qiu Lisha's lecture all day today, but I only half understood a lot of things. My head is getting so tired. When I think about continuing tomorrow, learning magic suddenly becomes boring."

"November 11th, Rain"

"I finally finished all my homework today. Qiu Lisha wanted to reward me by taking me to the mountains, but it started raining. What bad luck! I can only read picture books indoors."

"October 11th, sunny"

"I miss home a little bit, I miss my dad and mom."

Yaluo turned the page, and the following font suddenly became fresh, beautiful, and more mature. The first line also marked a year:
"Violet Calendar Year 356, April 4th, Sunny"

"I dug out a diary from a long time ago. Looking at the entries I made in the past, I really miss those carefree days. Today is my 16th birthday, and it's also my coming-of-age ceremony. Although I only have Teacher Qiu Lisha with me, I'm still very happy. Mom and Dad also wrote me a letter. In a few days, I will take the Silver-level magician qualification test. The teacher told me that as long as I pass the test, I can go out and gain experience. I haven't seen Mom and Dad in five years. I really miss them. If they saw their daughter has grown so tall now and become a powerful magician, they must be very proud."

"October 5th, sunny"

"The qualification test is tomorrow. Phew, I'm a little nervous."

When Yaluo turned to the next page, he suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet. The entire page was filled with writing, and the font was extremely distorted and fragmented, making it difficult to distinguish. Looking closely, it seemed to be a name.

"Selina Edson."

The entire page was filled with this twisted and fragmented name, as if the writer was trying desperately to remember it.

Yaluo swallowed and turned to the next page. The font on this page was still ugly and had lost its original diary format.

"My name is Serena Edson, and I'm 16 years old. Don't forget this name. I'm Serena Edson. I'm not a bear, I'm not a bear, I'm a human, I'm a human, I'm a woman, I have a father and a mother. I'm Serena Edson, Serena Edson, Qiu Lisha can't be trusted, Qiu Lisha can't be trusted, we have to escape, we have to escape, I'm Serena Edson, Serena Edson, Serena Edson, Serena Edson."

"I must write down this name. This diary can keep me awake, protect me from Qiu Lisha's influence, and keep my consciousness as a human being. I must read the diary every day. This diary is very important. It is the key to my rescue."

"I want to go home."

Yaluo looked at the creepy words and felt a little uncomfortable.

"That bear, was it actually transformed from a human?"

The guess in my heart has been confirmed. The bear is not a familiar, but a girl named Selina Edson.

So how did she become a bear? Judging from the diary, it seems to be related to her teacher. Could it be that she was transformed into this after some qualification test?

It seems that this diary has restored her consciousness as a human being. It is the contents of this diary that remind her who she is.

Feeling that there were still many doubts, Yaluo wanted to continue watching, wanting to know how she came here and what use the spell on the iron sheet was to her.

But at this moment, he heard a clear low growl with panting.

Turning his head, he saw the bear right behind him.

Those blood-red eyes stared at him intently.

"Wait! I mean no harm!" Yaluo immediately raised his hands, but found that the shovel was still in his hands.

"How did you get here?"

The bear in front of him, named Serena, made a hoarse but clear enough sound.

"Well, I know a little bit. I know some tracking spells." Yaluo polished his words and said.

A low growl came from the bear's throat.

"Don't worry, I didn't mean to offend your family. It's just that, you see, that treasure is worth a lot of money. Anyone would fight to get it back, right?" Ya Luo said quickly. Xiong still looked ferocious and spoke again: "You, read my diary?"

There was no way to hide this, Yalu nodded.

"How much did you see?"

"When you first turned into a bear, you wanted to use the diary to remember your human identity." Yaluo said, and then added:

"I sympathize with what you're going through."

"Stop pretending. I know that as soon as you leave here, you will tell those adventurers!" the bear growled.

"No, we've only met for less than half an hour since the beginning, and we haven't spoken more than five sentences. How can you assume anything about my character?" Yaluo said with his hands spread out.

"Do we need to assume your character if you can chase me here just for money?" Xiong asked coldly.

"Love of money and bad character are two different things." Ya Luo said seriously.

"Even if I wanted to get rich, I wouldn't hurt a poor person. Uh, poor bear, no, a person, a person."

The bear roared at him, and Yaluo could even feel the hot and wet sound waves hitting his face.

"Okay, okay, Miss, tell me, what can I do to offset the consequences of peeping into your secrets? How can I make you trust me? You don't want to eat me, do you?" Yaluo said hurriedly.

He suddenly thought of the rumors he heard in the restaurant, and suddenly felt uneasy. He grinned and asked uncertainly:

"You won't eat people now, will you?"

The bear's body suddenly froze, as if this sentence had dealt it a blow, and its huge body trembled slightly.

It moved slowly and turned around.

Yalu saw that it had a saddle bag on its back, which was bulging with something unknown.

The bear walked over to the alchemy table, and without seeing what it did, several items in the saddlebags flew out and plopped into the boiling cauldron.

Then, the objects on the counter began to move of their own accord, the spoon stirring the crucible and the knife chopping the petals.

Yaluo recognized it as levitation, but it seemed to be performed without chanting any spell.

After placing the lid on the cauldron, the bear turned and said to him, "You remain here until I complete the ritual, and then you may go wherever you please."

"Will the ceremony take a long time?" Yaluo looked towards the cave entrance, not knowing what time it was.

A pocket watch flew out of a saddle bag and opened in front of the bear.

"It's 1 a.m. now. You can leave after four hours. Don't even think about running away. I can see you're just an ordinary person."

"Okay." Yaluo could only agree.

Seeing that the bear's hostility towards him had decreased a lot, he simply sat on the ground and watched the big brown bear busying around in front of the medicine table.

"Um, can I ask you something? What is the effect of the spell written on the iron sheet?" He couldn't help but ask.

"It has nothing to do with you. Don't think about taking it back. This was originally mine. I lost it when I was traveling before, and now it falls into your hands." Xiong said while busying himself.

“I’m just curious.”

Yaluo felt a little sad knowing that the big treasure would never come back.

Xiong processed the last set of materials and placed them on the table. Then he slowly walked to the bed, lay down on it, squinted his eyes, and looked very tired.

Yalu was a little bored, but he was too embarrassed to look through its diary in front of others.

The man and the bear sat there, only hearing the bubbling sound of the cooking pot in the cave.

Yaluo wanted to break the silence, so he thought for a moment and said:

"If you turn into a bear and don't wear clothes, does that count as streaking?"
