Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

After two years of training, Comet has been able to initially master his own power. Although he still cannot control it if it is fully released, with the help of Professor Autumn's magic, daily life is no longer a problem. He will not accidentally attract dragons, nor will he make other animals feel uneasy.

In the second half of the second grade, Comet was able to touch Conan-san's pet owl without scaring it.

Comet is very interested in the Goblet of Fire, but she is willing to participate in any event.

She just wanted to have fun, without thinking too much about it. She would be satisfied if she could participate in one of the projects.

Without using his true power, Comet finally chose the animal taming competition.

The idea of ​​this little girl is very simple. She wants to try to use her own ability to control the target magical creature or beast.

After thinking it over, Professor Qiu agreed with his daughter's idea.

Comet is able to control his own power. If he only uses a little of his power to tame the magical animals arranged in the Goblet of Fire, there should be no danger or possible problems.

Professor Qiu did not want to prohibit his daughter from using her power forever. Sometimes, proper training is necessary to better master her abilities.

I'm so tired, I'm so tired.

The current Goblet of Fire competition items can be considered as a different kind of training.

More than half an hour later, Comet came to Conanshan with a smile.

No need to ask, just look at the little girl's expression and you will know that she must have passed the preliminary selection.

In fact, the same is true.

"Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan, I just saw an interesting competition. Do you think I should participate?"

While waiting for Hong Xiaoling who had not yet finished the preliminaries, Comet took Conanshan's hand and pointed to the preliminaries venue.

“What kind of project is it?”

Conanshan looked in the direction of the little girl's hand.

There were many signs with the competition events written on them, and he had no idea which event the little girl was talking about.

Professor Qiu did not forbid his daughter from participating in only one program. If his daughter wanted, it didn't matter if she participated in more than one program, as long as the ones that were suitable were fine.

"That's it! A beauty pageant!" Comet said excitedly.

"........."

Conanshan subconsciously glanced at the little girl beside him, whose face was still hidden by magic.

Also, her body showed no signs of development at all.

"Um……"

In just a few seconds, Conan-san thought seriously about how to reject this proposal.

In the end, he decided it would be better to be direct.

"no!"

God knows why there is a beauty pageant at the Goblet of Fire Tournament.

And it seems that there is no distinction between men and women.

The score is on the original.

155 Weapon Test

Today, Conan came to XCOM's secret military base located in the wilderness of central United States.

Normally, he would not come to this military base if he had nothing to do. He would go to the Avengers Building in New York.

However, a special weapons test will be held at this place today. Conan Shan arrived on time after hearing about it.

"The latest weapon test of individual tactical nuclear bombs..."

Conan-san stayed in the command room of the safe military base, sitting in the comfortable seat of magic advisor, waiting for the weapons test to begin.

If it was just a normal weapons test, he certainly wouldn't come.

Even if it is the so-called latest weapon specially developed to deal with aliens.

The latest individual tactical nuclear bomb, if evaluated from a neutral point of view, is indeed a good weapon, but it is not enough for Conan to take it too seriously.

He would come here specifically to be a spectator and monitor the process and results of the weapons test in real time, because today's weapons test was really quite unique.

"The test target is not a discarded tank or a specially made target, but a person..."

At the site where the tactical nuclear bomb test was about to take place, the area had been completely cleared.

However, in the center of the testing ground, there was a handsome man who remained there with a smile on his face.

This person is the chief of the magic advisory group in the human world, the second generation dark lord of the magic continent, Lux Crystal.

"Do you want to catch a nuclear bomb on your face while it's being recorded and in front of everyone?"

There is no way Conanshan would worry that Lux would be injured in this nuclear weapons test.

Even if this second-generation Dark Lord did not use the magic he developed against nuclear technology, he would probably not be harmed by nuclear weapons.

However, after hearing what Lux was going to do today, Conanshan couldn't help but come over to see what was going on.

"Is it to make the human leaders truly realize their own strength? I always feel that this is a bit unnecessary. This kind of performance is more like a demonstration? But is it necessary? Who are you demonstrating to?"

Soon, the test preparations for the individual tactical nuclear bomb were completed.

The latest weapons testing is about to begin.

"The countdown begins. Follow my instructions..."

Reginald Bender, the commander of XCOM's US region, issued a countdown order to all his subordinates.

"Three, two, one, fire!"

At the weapons testing site, a small unmanned combat vehicle heavily loaded with individual tactical nuclear bombs was launched.

The latest researched and manufactured individual tactical nuclear bomb is not much different in size and weight from an ordinary rocket, and can be fired with a special rocket launcher.

In terms of look and feel, it's actually no different from a bazooka.

An average qualified soldier could carry this weapon around and could carry multiple tactical nuclear bombs at a time.

That is why this weapon can be called a tactical nuclear bomb for individual soldiers.

The core destructive power of an individual tactical nuclear bomb is no different from that of a real nuclear bomb. It can produce solar-level light and heat in the center, as well as corresponding explosion impacts.

However, the destructive range of this weapon is not large, only about 500 meters in diameter.

In addition, this newly developed weapon has greatly reduced the nuclear radiation it contains. As long as it is not bombed continuously on the same place, it will not leave too many sequelae.

As long as the soldiers use this weapon within a safe range, they don't have to worry about being affected.

Of course, this is true in theory, but since it is a nuclear weapon after all, it still needs to be tested in practice before a conclusion can be drawn.

Even today's test may have exceeded the expectations of the maker of this weapon in some respects.

After all, probably no one would have thought of using real people as test subjects for weapons.

boom!

"Hit the target!"

The individual tactical nuclear bomb accurately hit Lux, who was the test subject.

A dazzling light bloomed on the big screen of the command center.

Even with the most advanced technology on Earth and special cameras prepared in advance to capture the images, the images in the XCOM command room became blurred at the moment the individual tactical nuclear bomb exploded.

The white light lasted for about five or six seconds on the big screen, and then gradually dissipated.

However, before the personnel in the command room could clearly see the images from the weapons testing site, all the monitoring equipment there had already reported various different data.

"The tactical nuclear missile was launched successfully. The power of the explosion reached the expected level. The remaining data is being collected. In addition..."

The XCOM monitoring officer paused unnaturally.

"The test target's vital signs are very stable, and the target is still alive..."

Conan-san didn't find it strange.

It should be said that everyone in this command room should not find anything strange.

However, the fact that someone could actually survive a nuclear bomb attack and remain safe and sound in the center of the bomb would still seem absurd to those who are aware of the power of nuclear bombs.

Not long after, the large screen in the command room became clear again, and the scene of the weapons test could be clearly seen.

In the charred earth with smoke and dust everywhere, Lux, who was wearing a magician's robe in a somewhat pretentious manner, was waving at the surveillance camera.

A few seconds later, his voice was transmitted to the command room through the communication device.

"The new weapon is quite powerful. We can proceed to the next round of testing."

Today's weapons test will naturally not test-fire the missiles once and then stop.

The test of the individual tactical nuclear bomb is planned to be carried out three times with three rounds of live-fire tests.

Of course, the test target is still a living person, Lux.

"This guy must have used nuclear bomb protection magic to block the power of the single-soldier nuclear bomb, so the next step should be to use nuclear bomb offset magic to perform a hand-to-hand nuclear bomb show."

After a short period of study and passing through the wonderful civilian magic system, Conan also learned three nuclear technology magics targeting humans.

In other words, he can barely be considered to have the ability to face a nuclear bomb explosion.

However, he himself couldn't say whether he had the courage to really face a nuclear bomb.

For him, it would be wiser to retreat first and avoid such weapons of mass destruction rather than facing the power of a nuclear bomb.

In other words, it makes sense to prevent the enemy from using such weapons before a nuclear bomb is launched.

"In fact, it would be best if we never had to face nuclear bombs again, and didn't have to use those three spells to deal with them..."

Not long after, the second test of the individual tactical nuclear bomb began.

Just as Conan-san had expected, this time, Lux did not withstand the power of the nuclear bomb explosion like before. When the nuclear bomb exploded, he stretched out his hand appropriately and grasped the energy of the explosion with his bare hands.

It was a rather absurd scene for the inhabitants of the human world who possessed normal common sense.

The handsome magician just used one hand to hold up a ball of light that was emitting endless light and heat, and suppressed the nuclear bomb that was continuously releasing energy.

Because this powerful magician controlled the explosion of the nuclear bomb, the footage at the XCOM headquarters was not affected at all, and every scene could be seen clearly.

Although Lux had fought against nuclear bombs before, no detailed footage was recorded at that time.

Now, people can be said to be watching the live broadcast and clearly witness the incredible power of the powerful magician.

The shocking feeling they give people is very different.

Conanshan looked around at the expressions of everyone in the command room.

There were not many people who could remain calm and expressionless here. Many people looked stunned, and some even broke out in cold sweats unconsciously.

"So, today's weapons test was blocked by the target himself. Is there really any point in testing this?"⑻

Conan looked at the calm and composed magician on the big screen in silence.

“Meow meow, I got tricked by this guy…”⒎

156 Cooking

The Hogwarts Goblet of Fire preliminaries officially ended a month later.

Students who have passed the pre-selection are free to participate in special training courses held by the school in the following period.

This is the so-called cram school, or the so-called private tutoring.

Of course, this kind of training course is outside the formal school curriculum. It is an additional learning course, which does not have credits and does not require tuition.

Students can choose whether to attend this so-called special training course according to their own time and ability.

The school will not have any objections even if you do not go. The school only suggests that selected students should participate so that they can improve their abilities before the Goblet of Fire is held.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Conan-san, an ordinary student and audience member.

"Little Comet, aren't you going to tutoring?"

After finishing the routine training of Comet's abilities at least once a week, Conan-san curiously asked the little girl who had been selected for the Goblet of Fire competition.

"I went there once, but I found that it was useless to me. I couldn't learn the animal taming methods taught by those teachers."

Comet, who seems to be interested in everything, will certainly not miss the so-called special training course.

Just think of it as going out for fun.
