But what's the use of learning this...?
“That’s true. After all, even out-of-control magic still has to follow the law of conservation of power.” Kasumi Toyama patted his leaf reassuringly. “Don’t worry, Aine, this transformation effect shouldn’t be permanent. Based on the current rate of magic power decay, it should return to normal in about five minutes.”
"Ah, okay, okay." Chihaya Aine nodded repeatedly.
"Well then, now that the results of my professional aptitude test are in, I'll continue practicing my advanced invisibility technique. I won't bother you any longer." Kasumi Toyama handed Chihaya Aine the paper with her test results printed on it and waved. "Just go to the front desk and register with Rinrin-nee in a bit. Bye~"
Her figure instantly became transparent, as if she had vanished into thin air.
You've got quite a big heart.
However, upon closer reflection, considering that the entire group had swapped souls in Pico, and Yuuki Minato even swapped souls with a cat, it's not that strange for her to switch souls with a potted plant.
"Um, Koshimura-kun, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to..." Chihaya Aine, clutching the parchment, carried him out of the testing room. "Actually, I've always known that I don't have any talent for magic. While others can cast spells smoothly, I can only feel the magical energy within me tangled up like a mess of knots..."
"The spell was cast by chance, but he became so proud of himself that he thought he had already mastered it."
"Even now, I'm still running away. I'm truly hopeless..."
Koshimura patted her hand reassuringly with a leaf.
Don't say that to Anon-chan, don't you also have the Burning Hand?
Although Evocation is a subhuman school of thought, you can still use Wild Surge to create massive fireballs.
Others need level 5 to cast a third-level fireball, but we can do it at level 1. We win!
Just don't be a master of reverse attributes next time.
Chihaya Aine looked at the leaf resting on her hand and suddenly felt a lump in her throat, her voice inexplicably choked with emotion.
She walked forward with her head down, when suddenly she felt herself bump into something and almost fell to the ground.
Chihaya Aine stared intently ahead and blinked.
There's nothing here.
Did they trip over something?
So your passive skill is actually that you bump into things while walking, right...?
Koshimura silently complained. In fact, he also felt that his penis was bent by something, as if he had touched something soft and elastic.
He just didn't dare to say it.
Thank you for the treat, KSM-chan.
------
Chihaya Aine, holding Koshimura Kusa, sat on a bench outside the testing room for a while, when she suddenly felt a weight in her hands.
Koshimura Sawa opened his eyes in a daze and found himself kneeling on the ground, being held in Chihaya Aine's arms, his head resting on her chest.
What kind of pose is this?
"That's wonderful—" Chihaya Aine's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and her voice was slightly nasal as she spoke, "I...I thought you couldn't turn back—"
A. "Mom, I'm hungry."
【B. "Chihaya-kun, you're poking my head a little..."】
C. "Padded."
Wa's move was ruthless.
Even I, a pink-haired, eccentric, guitar-playing beauty, was so angry I laughed.
"Chihaya-kun, you're poking my head a little..."
Koshimura Sawa thought he was about to get another beating from Ryuuichi, but to his surprise, Chihaya Aine simply hugged him tighter and whispered:
"Koshimura-kun, I will definitely learn advanced restoration techniques, then you won't have to worry..."
"It's good that you have this intention..." Although Koshimura Sawa's heart softened, he felt a hardness on his forehead and was a little uncomfortable. He couldn't help but struggle a couple of times.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I got a little excited..." Chihaya Aine quickly let go of her hand.
It's okay, you won't get anything out of it anyway.
“Chihaya-kun, you don’t need to worry. This performance doesn’t necessarily mean you lack the talent for spellcasting.” Koshimura rubbed his throbbing forehead, looking at her somewhat dim and disappointed gray eyes. “Although the nature of your magic is very unstable, instability is like two sides of a coin. It may bring you trouble and danger, but it may also create ‘miracles’ that ordinary people cannot imagine.”
“A miracle…” Chihaya Aine murmured, repeating her words, “Really… really?”
"Of course. Think about it, back in the void, didn't you even cast a fireball across rings?"
“Indeed…” Chihaya Aine’s disappointment began to fade, and she seemed to recall the scene at that time.
“Isn’t this the ‘miracle’ you created? I was able to survive thanks to you.” Yuecun Ze looked into her eyes and said earnestly, “Besides, you also have the physique of a dragon vein sorcerer and elemental affinity, so you are definitely promising for the future.”
Koshimura grabbed her tightly clasped hands.
"I assure you, you will definitely become an excellent spellcaster!"
"Huh? Hmm..." Chihaya Aine mumbled in response, feeling the warmth from the back of her hand. A sudden surge of heat climbed up her cheeks, her ears turned bright red, and even her fair neck flushed pink. She turned her head away somewhat awkwardly.
Cute.
"Has Koshimura-chan turned back? I brought you drinks—" Kasumi Toyama's energetic voice rang out from around the corner. Seeing the scene before her, her eyes lit up, and she leaned closer. "Oh my god! Is this a proposal? No wonder I sensed the presence of Kirakiradokidoki here! Aine, are you going to say yes?!"
Koshimura felt Chihaya Aine's body begin to tremble uncontrollably, pink dragon horns suddenly sprouted from her forehead, and her large tail behind her taut into an arc, as if it were gathering power.
Cloth!
Hallelujah Whirlwind!
Wow!
Chapter 8 The Correct Use of Advanced Invisibility Technique
"What do you mean by turning you into a bonsai by out-of-control magic, and then whipping you into a spinning top by a tail?" Rinrinko looked at Koshimura Sawa and Toyama Kasumi, who were holding onto the bar and were even a little unsteady on their feet, and Chihaya Aine, who was being supported by them.
"Well..." Kasumi Toyama scratched her face somewhat awkwardly.
"Never mind that. All I can say is that what happens in reality is probably more abstract than in novels. Ugh—" Koshimura Sawa gagged and almost fell to the ground.
Chihaya Aine probably didn't expect her tail to have such great inertia. After a Hallelujah whirlwind whipped the two of them into a spin, she was also spun around by it.
The three of them then engaged in a dark spinning top duel at the entrance of the testing room.
What a wonderful system of self-rotation driving revolution, the first to rotate influencing the next, allowing some professionals to start rotating first.
The winner is Chihaya Aine, after all, she has an extra big tail, which is equivalent to having an extra attack ring, how despicable.
Unlike our Jack, who loved his brother so much that he was whipped around like a top for so long without ever complaining, he has such a great character.
Seeing that the coat he had wrapped around Chihaya Aine's waist was about to slip down again, Koshimura Sawa quickly helped her tie it back up.
That's the downside of being a dragon girl; she goes through too many clothes.
Will I have to get a hole cut in my tailbone every time I buy clothes in the future?
That would be too strange. Should we add another curtain on top?
It feels even stranger now.
"Although I don't know what happened, the test results should be out by now, right?" Rinrinko smiled helplessly at the two of them.
“Ah, yes, here you go.” Koshimura Sawa handed her the two pieces of parchment in his hand.
"A sorcerer? That's quite rare." Rinrinko looked at the parchment while gesturing on the screen. "And this one is... a dragon vein sorcerer?"
[Name: Chihaya Aine]
【Gender: Female】
【Race; human】
[Class: Warlock (Dragonvein Warlock) lv.2]
[Origin of bloodline: Unknown]
【力量：14(+2) 敏捷：11（+0） 体质：14（+2） 智力：15（+2） 感知：12（+1） 魅力：16（+3）】
An unknown contract, an unknown dragon species, you two planned this together, didn't you?
Koshimura breathed a sigh of relief.
It only shows the Dragon Vein Warlock?
It seems that only her dragon bloodline was detected, and no wild magic was detected.
That's actually quite good. Gemini is such a rare thing, and if it were discovered, it might not necessarily be a good thing.
"Alright." Rinrin placed two specially made hard cards bearing the Adventurers' Guild emblem, along with two badges identical to those worn by Kasumi Toyama, on the table. "Your information has been entered into the municipal system and the Adventurers' Guild. You are now officially recognized professionals. Please keep this identification card with you at all times; it is proof of your legal status and the rights you are entitled to. You will need it to accept quests, enter the Void, and purchase restricted supplies. The badges represent the Adventurers' Guild's certification. When encountering other adventurers in the Void, you can determine whether they are certified professionals by checking if they are wearing badges and their authenticity."
“Okay.” Koshimura Sawa picked up the identity card and badge, and handed one of them to Chihaya Aine.
Chihaya Aine groggily reached out and took the badge. The cool touch on her palm instantly sobered her up: "Ah, thank you."
"Oh, right, Ms. Rinrinko." As if remembering something important, she quickly reached into her small bag and pulled out a shimmering stone. "What's this?"
"This is... a magic stone?" Rinko Shinji glanced at it, then suddenly gasped, leaning in so close she almost pressed her face against it. "My god, the color, the size... the challenge level must be at least 10!"
"And it's a dragon species." Kasumi Toyama closed her eyes, sensed it for a moment, and added, "Probably a red dragon?"
Rinrinko solemnly placed the magic stone back into Chihaya Aine's hand: "Where did you get this from?"
"Ah, -moon; chair two hundred million -^⒊dance seven nine six water 陾 This is what we had yesterday..." Chihaya Aine felt Koshimura Sawa secretly tugging at her sleeve under the counter, and immediately realized, "I brought it from home yesterday, it's a family heirloom, hahaha..."
“Since it’s a family heirloom, it’s best not to take it out casually,” Rinrinko said seriously. “Magic stones of this quality are in high demand, whether used to make magical items, provide energy, or be sold directly. They are easy targets for people with ill intentions.”
"Okay, I'll keep it safe." Chihaya Aine glanced around to make sure no one else was there, then quickly put the magic stone back into her bag. "Um... if I wanted to sell it, what would the approximate price be?"
"Based on market prices... around 3000 million. But the exact price still needs further evaluation." Rinrinko casually pressed a few buttons on the calculator. "The association generally doesn't handle such large-scale recycling. If you want to sell it, you'll have to find a specialized recycling agency."
Good heavens, this bean is so valuable! It even covered the medical expenses.
"Understood." Chihaya Aine nodded. "Thank you for the reminder, Rinko-san. If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave now."
Crafting magical items isn't necessary at this level, so it's more practical to just sell them and split the profits between the two of us.
"Yes, welcome back next time."
"Keep up the good work, you two newbies! I have high hopes for you!" Kasumi Toyama smiled and gave them a thumbs up. "I believe you will definitely become legendary professionals who will be famous throughout the world!"
Sorry, the legends of the City of Joy are all in the grave. I'd rather die in bed with a catheter in my bladder.
Koshimura nodded at her: "Thank you for your encouragement, Toyama-senpai. See you next time."
"Bye~"
Stepping out of RiNG's gates, the cool evening breeze dispelled the hustle and bustle of the city's neon lights. Advertisements for the popular adventure group Pastel*Palettes played on billboards along the roadside, featuring lead singer and mechanic Maruyama Aya performing a wrench-like "Shuwa Shuwa."
Why does Cai Cai still need to fix cars after arriving in this world?
Color black is about right.
"Koshimura-kun, I think it's better if you keep this for now." Chihaya Aine suddenly took out a magic stone from her bag and quietly handed it to him.
"No, no, you should keep it for now." Yuecun Ze pushed it back, "I'm all alone, I don't have any reliable connections or channels to sell it."
"No, no, I can't take this back with me. What if Mom and Dad find out?" Chihaya Aine pushed it back again. "They'll definitely ask where I got it, and I don't know how to explain it."
"Alright then." Yuecun Ze didn't stand on ceremony and took the magic stone. "I'll try my best to find a channel to sell it, and then we'll split the profits... By the way, you didn't go home last night, aren't your parents worried?"
"I told them that the plane landed too late, so I stayed at a friend's house first." Chihaya Aine put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and looked at the sunset in the distance. "Speaking of which, I was supposed to go to my new school to register today, but I had too many things to do, so I don't think I had time for it."
That's very busy.
Koshimura Sawa recalled his experiences over the past few days and felt that they were more exciting than the first half of his life combined.
But is the plot only at this point now? Chihaya Aine has just returned to Japan.
I thought the GO group had already been formed.
“By the way, Koshimura-kun.” Chihaya Aine took out her phone. “How about we exchange contact information? Line, phone... If in the future… uh, since you seem to know a lot about my situation, if there are any related questions in the future, or if I encounter Kūkō or something…” Her voice trailed off, as if she was a little embarrassed.
“Okay.” Yuecun Ze reached into his pocket and pulled out a cell phone. The two scanned each other’s Line contacts and saved each other’s phone numbers.
Although the giraffe was a bit of a rip-off, at least they prepared quite a lot of things.
"Then I'll be going now!" Chihaya Aine took two steps forward, turned around and waved to Koshimura Sawa with a relaxed smile on her face. "If I don't go home soon, Mom and Dad will worry."
"Okay, see you later." Yuecun Ze nodded as he watched her jog away with her suitcase, her tall figure casting a long shadow in the setting sun.
