Magical User Aozaki Aoko Case Files

So rather than saying that it was frightened to death, it would be more accurate to say that it died from an alien being that followed completely different mysterious rules from this planet.

If any other magician who was good at creating illusions and scaring others were to deal with Luger Beowulf, they would definitely not be able to achieve the same result as Aoko.

Therefore, Qingzi was quite satisfied with the result of her battle this time. Chengzi always said in the past that she was a barbarian who only knew how to destroy. She had clearly shown so many magic net spells in front of Chengzi, so why did this guy still think she was a magic barbarian?

It may also be because the various spells and magic displayed by Aoko are all for combat purposes. At least her talent in making magic costumes and puppets is not as good as Orange's for now.

---Dividing line---

With a flash of magic, Aoko, Arizuma, and the "corpse" of Ruge Beowulf appeared in a dark place.

Is it a magic of space transfer? Youzhu has a new understanding of Qingzi's strength. This level of magic has surpassed magic itself and is not far from the level of law.

Aoko snapped her fingers, and the spreading magic power immediately ignited the surrounding lights, allowing Kuonji Arizuki to see the surrounding environment clearly.

This should be a basement somewhere, Youzhu thought. The room was filled with books and magic devices, and it looked like a workshop laboratory.

"This is the basement of my grandfather's workshop," Qingzi said while using magic to strengthen her physical abilities, "The reason I brought this guy's body here is because there is an imaginary prison made by my grandfather."

After saying that, Aoko pointed to a magic formation in the center of the room.

"This thing should have been used by the old man to store some dangerous items," Qingzi explained, "but when I checked it, I found that the space inside was empty. I don't know where the old man put the things inside. Now it's just the right place to hold Orange's dog."

After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves and struggled to grab Beowulf's "corpse" and drag it on the ground. The friction between the golden wolf's hard fur and the ground even produced a creaking sound.

After dragging it to the center of the imaginary prison magic field, Qingzi carefully checked the status around the prison, then walked to the position on the magic field to input magic power and activate the field, squatted down and pressed his hands on the ground.

The magic circuits throughout Aoko's body activated instantly, and mysterious lines emitting a blue glow appeared on the skin of her exposed arms and cheeks.

As flashes of lightning flashed across the magic field, the "corpse" of Luger Beowulf sank into the ground and disappeared from the real world.

"Can't Orange come in here?" Youzhu asked as if he suddenly thought of something.

"She can enter this basement, but she can't activate this imaginary cage," Qingzi clapped her hands, stood up from the ground and explained, "To activate this thing, you need to use the seal of the Aozaki family. Now only I can use it."

Youzhu nodded to Qingzi and then said nothing more.

Considering that the motorcycle was not with him and his grandfather's workshop had been blocked by Qingzi before, Qingzi could only use the remaining 5th-level spell slots today.

She took Youzhu's hand with ease, chanted a spell, and activated the teleportation spell. The magic aura on the two of them flashed, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at a parking lot near the abandoned amusement park.

She put on the motorcycle helmet first. Aoko had asked Youzhu if she wanted to wear it before, but Youzhu said that her hat was actually a magic gift and its protective ability was much better than a motorcycle helmet, so there was no need to wear a helmet at all.

Qingzi got on the motorcycle first, then pointed to the seat behind him with his thumb, motioning Youzhu to sit on it.

Youzhu pressed down her skirt, sat sideways on the back seat of the motorcycle as she did before, and then put her arms around Qingzi's waist without saying a word.

"Hold on tight?" Qingzi said, "Let's go home."

---Dividing line---

When I got home, it was already around two o'clock in the morning.

Even magicians who can use magic to relieve fatigue will feel exhausted after working for this long.

Although Qingzi and Youzhu can both work all night and still maintain enough energy, they both enjoy the refreshing feeling of resting after exhausting their physical strength, so most of the time they choose to go to bed at the right time.

However, it is very rare that we are forced to return at this time due to some unexpected events like tonight.

"Let's take a bath together before going to bed, Yuzu?" Qingzi made this invitation very naturally, as if she had planned it for a long time.

Youzhu paused and turned his back to Qingzi, wondering what he was thinking.

"...good."

Chapter 38 Celebration

The bathroom in the Kuonji Residence is a gorgeous room with a very European style.

The floor is inlaid with warm-colored marble and carved with elegant patterns.

A huge rectangular mirror inlaid in a waterproof wooden carved frame is placed on the wall above the sink.

In the corner of the bathroom, there are some vases of various shapes, in which are placed some ornamental plants that are fixed by magic and are truly alive.

Among these ornamental plants there are European-style flowers as well as oriental-style pruned plum branches, but they have undoubtedly all been adjusted by true professionals who know the business, so they look very natural and blend in with the overall environment of the bathroom.

In the center of the bathroom is a huge, bowl-shaped bathtub with a circular opening, surrounded by wooden steps for stepping and placing items.

Next to the bathtub are brass cast pipes and gargoyles, which are all very systematically exposed on the ceiling and walls, rather than buried inside. When Qingzi first saw it, she thought this design was quite avant-garde steampunk style, so she replaced all the water pipes in her and Orange's houses with similar styles.

I heard that the person who designed this house was Arizuma's father, which made Qingzi admire his taste and artistic accomplishment. No wonder as an ordinary person he could marry a witch like Arizuma's mother.

Aoko walked into the bathroom wrapped in a pure white bath towel while humming a song.

She walked to the bathtub, bent down and turned on the faucet to fill the bathtub. The majestic peaks on her chest showed deep ravines under the action of gravity, and her slender waist was bearing a weight that should not be carried at this age, making people worry whether it would break at first glance.

While waiting for the bathtub to fill, Qingzi searched in the locker next to the bathtub. Of course, a simple bath is fine, but if you want a better fatigue relief effect, some additional ingredients are necessary.

She first took out a bag of laxative salts and poured the whole bag into the bathtub, then picked up a bottle of lemon essential oil, which was her personal favorite scent.

Qingzi found a glass dropper and drew enough essential oil from the essential oil bottle. After dropping about eight drops into the bathtub, she screwed the essential oil bottle back in place.

After putting her hand in the water to test the temperature, Qingzi felt quite satisfied.

"Yuzu, is the hot water ready?" Qingzi raised her voice slightly and called to the people outside the bathroom, "You can come in~"

After a while, Qingzi heard a rustling sound, as if someone was taking off clothes at the bathroom door. Then the bathroom door was opened and Youzhu walked in wrapped in a bath towel.

Youzhu has a very slender body. Compared with Qingzi, who has an exaggerated figure, Youzhu looks younger and more adorable.

Her shoulders are narrower than Aoko's, but her skin is as fair and delicate as Aozi's. However, compared to Aozi's healthy and tender skin, Youzhu's skin looks pale and weak due to long-term lack of exposure to sunlight.

The steam in the bathroom was increasing as time passed. Aoko unwrapped the bath towel and put it aside. Then she walked into the bathtub very naturally and sat down. Her long and beautiful thighs overlapped each other, and her silhouette through the steam aroused people's imagination.

"Come in quickly?" Qingzi invited Youzhu, "If you don't get into the hot water quickly, be careful not to catch a cold later, okay?"

Hearing Aoko's invitation, Kuonji Yuzu slowly walked towards the bathtub.

This was the first time in Youzhu's life that she had bathed with someone else. In her vague childhood memories, Youzhu's mother once held her in her arms and bathed her, but that was a long time ago, and even she herself could hardly remember it.

But the roommate in front of him was obviously different. Her perfect figure was extremely attractive even to Youzhu, who was also a woman. The hazy atmosphere created by the steam also made Youzhu's cheeks turn red.

She suppressed her shyness and sat directly into the bathtub, then carefully hugged her legs and huddled to the side.

"Hey~?" Qingzi looked up and down at the shy Youzhu with a teasing look, then moved closer to Youzhu little by little, and when Youzhu was not paying attention, she took off the bath towel wrapped around Youzhu from behind.

The usually cold and strong fairy tale witch let out a cute cry that was quite inconsistent with her image. Aoko hung the bath towel with beads aside with a giggle and went over to tease her shy roommate.

"Who takes a bath wrapped in a towel?" Qingzi said carelessly, "We are all girls anyway, so it's okay if I see it~"

Youzhu hugged her chest with her arms in embarrassment and looked fiercely at the grinning Qingzi. Then she unconsciously moved her gaze downwards and saw the huge car lights of Qingzi, and her face became even redder.

Qingzi didn't go too far. She felt that if she continued teasing, her good roommate would faint from embarrassment.

"Let's have something to drink," Qingzi said after thinking for a while, "How about red wine? It helps with sleep, right?"

Seeing that Youzhu had no objection, Qingzi snapped her fingers and summoned an invisible servant, who brought a bottle of red wine and two goblets on a tray outside the bathroom.

Pulling out the cork, Qingzi poured herself and Youzhu half a glass of Bacchus each. This time they drank the collection of the magician Lao Deng, which was obviously more valuable than the cheap dad's...

He handed the wine glass to Youzhu and made a toasting gesture to invite her.

Youzhu hesitated for a moment, but still took the goblet that Qingzi handed over and clinked it with hers.

"Ahaha, celebrating our success in defeating Orange's dog."

---Dividing line---

At the same time, Miss Aozaki Touko, who was defeated in the first round of the battle due to insufficient intelligence, hid alone in her temporary workshop in the old school building, smoking cheap cigarettes given to her by others, and fell into a melancholy mood.

A large number of puppets were lost, and the rune trap with 300,000 words did not play the expected role. Even her biggest trump card, the fantasy species Luger Beowulf, was inexplicably killed. Is there any possibility for her to turn the tables?

Should I surrender...? Orange thought about it vaguely, but then quickly rejected the idea because she was unwilling to give up. She wanted to try again...

But Aoko's magic talent is not inferior to his own, and she has inherited the magic of the Aozaki family. Regardless of whether she can fully exert the power of magic, it is also a trump card that cannot be underestimated. Moreover, that guy has a lot of strange moves that are inexplicable and difficult to explain with conventional magic theory...

Orange put out the cigarette, rubbed his forehead, then took off his coat and lay down on a single bed.

She couldn't help but recall the laughter and scolding she had with Aoko when they were little, the bits and pieces of magic they had learned together, and finally how her grandfather temporarily decided to make Aoko the heir. A bitter emotion surged up, making it difficult for Orange to control herself.

"I'm not that guy," Orange turned over and said to himself, "I'm not weak."

Chapter 39 Super Spellcaster

Qingzi slept until noon the next day before slowly getting up.

She rubbed her head and was not surprised that she woke up so late, after all, she had spent so much energy last night and drank at the end.

She sat on the bed in a daze for a long time, and then suddenly remembered that she had not done her meditation today, so she immediately jumped out of bed and quickly washed and changed her clothes.

Sitting at the desk, Qingzi picked up the pen and added some special ink. Then she opened her spell book, immersed her mind in herself, and began to communicate with the fragments of the magic web in her body.

The bizarre scenery in the magic net appeared in front of Qingzi again. She held herself tightly and began to examine what she had gained from defeating Luge Beowulf this time.

First, she found that her wizard level had increased from level 9 to level 10.

Intelligence increased by two points, from 22 to 24. As a human being, Qingzi's intelligence has now reached a very scary level. Even among the mages full of monsters, her intelligence can be said to be outstanding.

A higher intelligence attribute means a deeper connection with the magic network. Qingzi gains an extra fourth-ring spell slot and an extra fifth-ring spell slot, which increases the number of scrolls she can reserve every day.

And through her in-depth understanding of the magic network, she gained the qualifications to learn new expertise.

In Qingzi's previous plan, she wanted to advance to a super magic spellcaster, but the super magic feat was the only obstacle for her to become a super magic spellcaster. So Qingzi chose the ring-up spellcasting as her first super magic feat from many feats.

Why didn't you choose instant spell casting? First, instant spell casting requires a spell slot that is four rings higher than the original spell level, which is not very meaningful for Qingzi, who can only use fifth-level spells at most. Secondly, generally speaking, as long as you prepare the spell scroll in advance, you can also cast spells quickly, so higher-level casting is more practical and freer than metamagic feats such as instant spell casting and spell enhancement at this stage.

A burst of knowledge was instilled into Qingzi's brain, bringing a trance. She found that she had mastered all the knowledge about the super magic specialty, the ring-raising spell. Although obtaining this knowledge does not mean that she can use it proficiently, Qingzi is very confident that she can master this new ability in a short time to improve her combat effectiveness.

Qingzi was excited to get a new expertise. This clear sense of achievement was much more enjoyable than beating up her sister's dog...

In addition to this expertise, Qingzi also "fished out" two additional spells from the Sea of ​​Magic Net, namely the 5th-level Shaping School's Ball Lightning, and the 5th-level Transfiguration School's Xinbu's Spell Matrix.

The former is an ordinary energy-shaping spell that enhances the firepower of Qingzi's turret, while the latter is a new gadget that seems useless at first glance but has broad application prospects.

From the spell effect point of view, the spell matrix created by this spell can store a magic of up to 3rd level, and can be activated and released with just a gesture when needed.

What is this? This is a remote-controlled bomb! Put a fireball in the spell matrix, hide in the distance and wait for someone to come, and then blow the person up with a gesture. Is there anything more fun than this?

However, this spell also has a corresponding negative effect. After activating the matrix with a gesture, the caster will be injured. From the knowledge obtained by Qingzi, in the real world, this injury should be reflected in the form of consumption of vitality.
