The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

"Hey, kid, I clearly can't sense any magic from you, so why can you use the Clow Cards?!"

Xiao Ke circled the flying cards twice, then couldn't help but float up to Xia Yu and ask in confusion.

"I have transcended human limits. If you still view me with that pathetic mortal wisdom, you are only humiliating yourself. How can a genius be compared to a mere mortal!"

Xia Yu snorted and glanced at Xiao Ke sideways.

Of course, the real situation is definitely different. The reason why Xiao Ke cannot sense the magic power in his body is that he has no magic power at all.

Although he can use Hogwarts magic, those spells don't require magic power; all you need is wizarding blood.

There is no concept of blue bars in the Harry Potter novels. It is common for two wizards to exchange spells for several minutes. Moreover, the original books describe them more as "mentally exhausted and physically drained," which is very different from the magic settings in other worlds.

In his view, the essence of Harry Potter's magic is more like the power of the mind, that is, the power of wish fulfillment. After all, Harry Potter is ultimately a children's book, and the magic in it is very much in line with the fairy tale.

Of course, although magic in the Harry Potter series doesn't require a mana bar, continuously casting spells still won't work, because a person's physical and mental strength are limited.

The analogy is like a Desert Eagle with unlimited bullets. Although the bullets are unlimited, if you keep firing, the barrel will overheat and you won't be able to fire again. You have to let the barrel cool down before you can fire again.

As for why he could use the Clow Cards even without magic, it's because he had already deciphered the Flying Cards. If he were to use the Wind Cards now, he naturally wouldn't be able to.

Xiao Ke didn't know the reasons behind these things; all it could see was that Xia Yu could use the Clow Cards without magic.

So it asked directly, and Xia Yu gave his answer.

Hearing Xia Yu's self-deprecating words, Xiao Ke was so angry that she bit Xia Yu's finger.

"You look down on me, I'll bite you to death!"

"Hiss!" Xia Yu gasped, flung Xiao Ke away, and upon closer inspection, saw clear teeth marks on his fingers.

"Are you a dog?"

"Who told you to look down on me, huh!"

Chapter 15 Don’t want that kind of thing

"Hehe, Xia and Xiao Ke have a really good relationship."

Seeing this, Tomoyo couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly.

After the commotion subsided, Tomoyo suddenly turned to Sakura and asked, "Sakura, do you use magic the same way as Natsu?"

"Um……"

Sakura recalled Xia Yu's exaggerated actions and his seemingly profound but actually incomprehensible lines, and quickly shook her head.

“No, no, Xia’s style doesn’t suit me.”

Because that would be too shameful.

"In that case, can I see how you cast a spell?"

Tomoyo suddenly leaned close to Sakura, grabbed her hands with both of them, and looked on with anticipation.

Feeling the warmth from Tomoyo's hand, Sakura couldn't help but blush. Tomoyo was standing way too close. Even though they were both girls, she felt a little shy.

"This isn't a good idea, considering we're still in school..."

As she spoke, Sakura's voice lowered. Xia Yu had already unsealed the Flying Cards, so it seemed like she was only unsealing her wand, which was nothing to her.

Thinking of this, Xiaoying wanted to give Xia Yu a reproachful look, but when she thought that Xia Yu might not be ashamed but proud, she sighed and said, "Alright then, I'll show you a little bit, just a little bit."

"Even just for a little while!"

Tomoyo nodded repeatedly. As long as she could see Sakura use magic, even just for a moment, it would be fine. Besides, as long as Sakura's transformation was recorded, she could watch it for as long as she wanted.

Plan accomplished!

Tomoyo clenched her fist tightly in her heart, hurriedly took out a camera from her schoolbag, and pointed it at Sakura.

At this moment, Sakura had already walked to the lawn and taken out her key necklace. However, just as she was about to break the seal, she caught a glimpse of the camera in Tomoyo's hand.

"Tomoyo, what you're holding is..."

Tomoyo waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about me, Sakura, you continue."

(°-°〃)

That familiar tone, those familiar contents...

She seemed to have heard it not long ago...

I remember now, last night when Xia was transforming, she was also pointing a camera at her and saying the same thing.

〒▽〒

Xia and Zhi Shi will definitely become good friends.

Although she had already thought of this when Tomoyo and Natsu were trading her video recordings that morning.

But at this moment, this familiar scene still made her think of this.

As Sakura pondered this, another possibility suddenly occurred to her: Tomoyo and Natsume were getting along so well that they had completely sidelined her, leaving her as an outsider among the three...

Oh dear! I don't want that kind of thing!

She doesn't want to be ostracized!

"Sakura, what are you standing there for? Show her!"

Just as Sakura was having a crazy internal monologue, Kero suddenly flew in front of her and urged her. Hearing this, Sakura could only silently suppress the wild thoughts in her mind, take a deep breath, stand up straight, and hold the key in front of her eyes.

"Key that conceals the power of darkness, reveal your true strength before me! Sakura, who made a promise with you, commands you—"

"The seal is lifted!"

As Sakura murmured softly, magic gradually gathered around her body, and visible waves of wind rose around her.

Suddenly, a brilliant light shone forth!

A golden sun and moon magic circle appeared beneath her feet, exquisitely detailed like a work of art, radiating unparalleled light.

The light was so intense that even sunlight couldn't compare, but because they were on the side of the school and some distance from the playground, no one noticed them.

Soon, the tiny key floating above Sakura's palm stretched and expanded.

In just a few seconds, the tiny key transformed into a pink bird-headed magic wand, which Sakura promptly grasped, letting out a soft breath.

It was called a transformation, but it was really just unsealing the bird-headed magic wand; she herself didn't change at all.

Tomoyo, standing to the side, blinked as she looked at the wand Sakura was holding: "Is this the wand you use to cast spells? It's completely different from Natsu's wand."

Upon hearing this, Sakura couldn't help but glance at the exquisite wooden stick in Xia Yu's hand, then at the flamboyant bird-headed magic wand in her own, her feelings quite complicated.

Why does someone as flamboyant as Xia use such an unassuming wand? If she could, she would also like an inconspicuous wand.

"Hehe, maybe it's because I'm not a traditional magician. After all, I inherited this wand from the Clow Book, and I need Clow Cards to use magic."

Sakura smiled sheepishly, then thought of the most likely explanation.

"Is that right?"

Tomoyo tapped her chin with her index finger and nodded, then suddenly leaned closer to Sakura, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "Sakura, do you have any fixed postures when you use magic?"

"Huh? Fixed pose?"

Sakura blinked her beady eyes blankly. Did she need a specific gesture to use magic? Would simply smashing her wand into the cards count? After all, that's how the Clow Cards were sealed.

Seeing that Sakura seemed not to understand anything, Tomoyo shook her head, put her hands on her hips, and said seriously, "The poses and spells are the hallmarks of magical girls."

"That's right, Sakura, how can you use magic without a proper posture?"

After turning the flying cards back into Clow Cards, Xia Yu also came over and affirmed, following Tomoyo's words, "There is an unwritten rule in the magical world that magical girls must have cool outfits and stylish poses in order to cast magic."

"Yes...really?"

Seeing Xia Yu's serious expression, and that he didn't seem to be lying, Xiao Ying looked at Xiao Ke with a bit of confusion.

Although Xiao Ke was puzzled as to when this rule came about, it thought about it carefully and realized that Xia Yu's words made sense.

How can you become a good magical girl without cool spellcasting moves?

Xiao Ke nodded, affirming Zhi Shi and Xia Yu's words.

Seeing that Kero nodded, Sakura was a little dazed and realized she understood. She had never heard of such a rule in the magical world before.

Seeing this, Tomoyo chuckled and stepped forward, helping Sakura pose as she said, "Then let's try it out, Sakura. It's just a pose to try out anyway."

"OK then."

Although Sakura remained skeptical of this so-called rule, seeing how interested Tomoyo was, she had no choice but to go along with it, since Tomoyo was her good friend.

Before long, Xia Yu also joined in helping Sakura pose, which made Sakura's poses increasingly bizarre and childish.

Coupled with Xia Yu's cool entrance line, which helped him think things through, Xiaoying blushed so deeply that her whole face turned bright red.

She was now completely dizzy, like a mechanical doll, being manipulated at will by two tireless demon kings.

This battle of postures continued until Sakura was exhausted and panting, at which point the two great demons reluctantly stopped.

Of course, Sakura's pose for using magic was also set. Based on gymnastic poses, various cool movements were derived from them, which became Sakura's fixed poses for using magic from then on.

It's fortunate that Sakura has extremely good motor skills, otherwise she might not have been able to perform these movements smoothly.

After resolving the posture issue, lunch break was about to end.
