Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

"Anyway, let's stay a little longer and see what's going on. We're not in a hurry to leave here."
After thinking it over, Conan-san decided to stay a little longer.
Once he was sure that peace had truly become here, he could disperse this heroic spirit.
"Let's wait another two or three months, at most half a year, just don't waste time on good things..."
*
Two months after the start of the school year at Hogwarts, everything was going smoothly as planned.
The students participating in the Goblet of Fire, which will be held in March, are working hard to train themselves, hoping to shine in future competitions.
Each of the participating magic schools in the Goblet of Fire has one hundred contestants.
There were more than ten magic schools participating in this competition, and the number of contestants easily exceeded one thousand.
The qualifications for participating in the Goblet of Fire are not very strict. As long as it is a qualified magic school and is approved and invited by the Goblet of Fire Committee and the Ministry of Magic, it can select suitable students to participate.
Most of the students participating in this lively magic competition are seniors, but there are relatively few seventh graders, and most of them are fourth and fifth graders.
This is because the seventh graders are about to face employment issues after graduation, or they have personal considerations, so they will not be very keen on participating in this grand event on the magical continent.
In addition, the Goblet of Fire was held five years ago, and some of the older students had participated in it. Some would like to be spectators in this tournament, or give up the qualification to their juniors.
There are not many junior students in Hogwarts who are qualified to compete in the Goblet of Fire. Those who can pass the school's preliminaries and qualify need to have certain strength.
Basically, it is very difficult for students in grades one and two to qualify for the competition.
Therefore, once a junior student becomes a contestant in the Goblet of Fire, he or she will inevitably become famous.
Just like Hong Xiaoling, who is only in the second grade this year.
Originally, Hong Xiaoling was considered famous among the lower grades.
This is because Hong Xiaoling does not need to have any concerns or hide her fighting ability. She shines in some classes about practical magic and attracts the attention of some people.
This girl once almost defeated her teacher during a practical training. Even if the teacher was careless and let her off a lot, it was still eye-catching enough.
Last year, Hong Xiaoling completed the basic magic course in three months and entered the formal courses of the magic school ahead of schedule.
Generally, magic students from the human world will not complete basic magic courses in advance. They will choose to slowly adapt to the magic world.
However, Hong Xiaoling wanted to receive formal magic education earlier, so after her ability reached the standard, she ended the course early.
Transfer students like this would naturally attract attention, and coupled with this girl's fighting ability and the fact that she was a rare contestant in the Goblet of Fire among the lower grades, she instantly became a star idol sought after by the lower grades.
This may also be because the school's news agency reported extensively on every player who competed in the Goblet of Fire.
Sometimes in the corridor or in the cafeteria, Conan could see this girl surrounded by other female students.
Hong Xiaoling did not feel embarrassed or worried. She had strong abilities in making friends and adapting, but she was obviously still not used to it.
As for the other contestant who happens to be in the lower grade, Comet, who is now in the third grade, there has been no changes here.
Comet, who has maintained the appearance of a little girl since entering school, loves making friends. She can usually see different female students around her, or she will take the initiative to find different friends to interact with.
Even after becoming a contestant in the Goblet of Fire, the girl still had the same feeling around her, always bustling with activity.
Not to mention Conan-san himself, there is nothing worth mentioning about him in school.
He studies when he should study, rests when he should rest, and plays when he should play.
Just like an ordinary student.
If I really have to find something to say, it would probably be that the school activity club he participated in, the History and Museum Society, had a new president this year.
Also, during the club's welcome party this year, after Conan-san came into contact with the various antiques generously brought by the club's seniors, his gold finger no longer responded.
"My cheat codes responded in the first two years. Even if there were no new cards, there would be some fragments. But this year, I didn't get anything... Should I say this is normal?"
Conan-san, who had already given up any high expectations for his golden finger, naturally could not be said to be disappointed at this time.
Anyway, when there is a reaction, there will be a reaction.
"Then, it's time to actively look for something that will make my golden finger react."
In the dormitory, Conan-san shook the letter he had just read.
"Something has happened in the human world again. Although it's not a serious incident now, it may affect the future... Has a person with natural superpowers appeared?"
160 Changes
Earth, human world, East, Haicheng.
After receiving the letter from his collaborator, Conan-san did not go to the human world immediately, because the content of the letter did not require him to worry, and the human world officials had already dealt with it immediately.
He could wait until the Hogwarts holidays before coming to the human world.
"Is this the world's first person born with super powers?"
The secret military organization XCOM is located in the Avengers Building in Haicheng. Conan Shan is watching the situation in the room that has been converted into a nursery through a thick glass.
XCOM is a secret military organization supported by the official authorities of the human world. It has superficial bases in prosperous cities all over the world.
After developing for a period of time, the Avengers Building is no longer just in New York, and similar buildings have been built in different important locations.
On the surface, Avengers Tower certainly would not blatantly announce such an exaggerated name to the outside world. XCOM's external contact channel is disguised as a recently developed international business group.
Under the cover of official forces, no civilians realized that an organization with considerable force and military authority was right next to them.
The Avengers Building has multiple functions. When necessary, certain rooms can be transformed and used to accommodate criminals.
Now, the Avengers Building located in Dongfang Haicheng has become a temporary place to accommodate a special baby.
In the heavily guarded nursery in front of Mount Conan, a chubby and white baby was sleeping peacefully in the only crib.
This child is the one with innate super powers who was discovered not long ago.
The parents of this boy, who was less than a week old, were of Oriental descent and lived in a neighboring city. Therefore, after the hospital discovered the special features of their child, the child was immediately transferred to the Avengers Building in Haicheng.
Jiu: "Ke, what you said is a little wrong. This child who doesn't have a name yet may not be the first person born with super powers in the world. He is just the first person with natural super powers that we have discovered."
0Knowing that Conan-san would come to check on the situation, Lux would not be absent as usual no matter how busy he was.
"Perhaps, in places we can't see, in places we can't discover, there have already appeared some people with innate super powers like this child."
㈧ "That makes sense... Then, what is this child's ability?"
Although Conan was informed of the appearance of a person born with super powers, the letter did not mention what abilities the child possessed.
It's obvious that this is the evil taste of a second-generation Dark Lord.
"It doesn't have any special abilities, nor is it very lethal, but it's obvious enough that people discovered it right away."
〇In the middle of Lux's explanation, Conan-san felt the tablet computer in his hand that was connected to XCOM's internal database suddenly vibrate slightly.
5 Conan Shan understood without even looking that his collaborator had calculated the time and only now sent over the relevant information about the children in the nursery.
"This child can glow. His whole body can glow. He is like a human-shaped light bulb. That's it. There is nothing more."
Conanshan opened the tablet in his hand to check the relevant information.
Soon, even without the handsome young man beside him to continue explaining, Conanshan had a complete understanding of the child's situation.
"It can only emit light, not heat. It won't hurt anyone. The ability to emit light will consume the child's physical strength. If he is tired, he won't be able to emit light..."
Conanshan always felt a certain familiarity with this child.
I don’t know what setting from the previous life was stitched in.
Now he won’t care too much about the source, they are all the same.
"It is certain that this child is not a mutant. He does not have any mutant characteristics. He is also not like the previously discovered innate delusional person. In fact, he is still a mutant with a mutant organ in his head. This child is truly a natural superpower. He does not need to go through superpower development. He is a natural superpower..."
In this world of stitched monsters, the source of people with super powers are mutants.
After human scientists conducted research and understood the body structure of mutants, they gradually developed super-powered people who gained super abilities through acquired super powers.
Before this baby appeared, there should be no so-called people with natural super powers in this world. Everything was created through acquired transformation.
Initially, people with super powers were developed through some inhumane methods, such as strong external stimulation or swallowing certain drugs.
This method is very unstable, has a high failure rate, and may leave the recipient with permanent physical defects or irreparable mental problems.
Therefore, the original super power development technology was sealed and abandoned.
After half a century of technological improvements, the superpower development technology was finally completed, the details of which are kept confidential today and not disclosed to the public.
Conan-san, through his authority as a magic consultant, naturally knows the content of the so-called super power development technology.
Today's superpowers don't need to take medicine or receive injections, and they don't need to be changed like mutants.
Scientists directly stimulate the brains and bodies of people with super powers to make their inherent latent powers manifest.
In simple terms, the so-called superpowers can actually be seen as a substitute for mutants.
The subjects who receive superpower development are all people who have been screened out after physical examination and are likely to be mutants.
However, the mutant genes in them were not activated, and their bodies did not undergo any changes when they were born, so they did not become mutants.
However, they still have such potential.
The development of superpowers is to activate the mutants' powers through acquired technology.
By using this technology that has been modified over a long period of time, people with super powers can gain power without changing their appearance and will not be called mutants.
However, in essence, there is not much difference between so-called mutants and people with super powers.
However, the natural superpowers that have appeared now are very different from mutants.
They are two completely different beings, though they are close.
"This child's brain and cells are no different from those of ordinary humans, but his self-luminescence is clearly a special ability..."
Conanshan naturally thought of a possibility.
"The changes in magic power, the impact of the tide of magic power?"
"I also think so."
The second Dark Lord nodded in agreement.
"I can confirm that this child does not have any magic power, but he has some traces of being affected by magic. I guess it is because the magic power of the earth has changed that it has stimulated the innate potential of this child and turned him into a superpower, a superpower different from the mutants who have developed their genetic abilities."
"That is to say, this is not an isolated case. In the future, people born with super powers will appear one after another, occasionally, and accidentally all over the world... because of the influence of the magic tide."
"That should be it."
“…Will it have a big impact?”
Conan-san was quite uncertain about the future and asked his collaborator.
"That's hard to say. We need to see how many people with innate super powers there are who were born because of the magic tide, and how powerful they are.
However, you don't have to worry too much. Even if mutants suddenly appear, the human world was in chaos for a while, but it eventually stabilized, didn't it? We have experience here."
Conan-san certainly wasn't distrustful of the officials in the human world.
They've tried to clear the maggots from within the human world several times, and there must be a limit to how bad it can be.
However, the impact of the magic tide seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, even greater than they expected.
If the magic tide of the earth only affects the number of people with magic power, then it will not actually affect anything.
Even if magic became easier and more powerful on Earth, it wouldn't make much of a difference.
However, now that there are examples of people becoming psychics due to the influence of the magic tide, it is possible to imagine what will happen next.
"The arrival of the magic tide will definitely affect more than just humans. Other things will also be affected..."
Conanshan's intuition, which has always been very accurate, tells him that something very troublesome might happen in the near future.
Let’s see what it will be like.
161 Abnormal
"What happened this time?"
Time unknowingly came to the beginning of December.
Conan was not suddenly summoned by the Heroic Spirit at the beginning of the school year like he was in the previous two years, and then he was busy as hell.
Nothing happened, which is certainly good news.
Although there were problems, he basically didn't have to do anything himself as others could handle them.
