Invincible conjurers don't need love
Chapter 37
A few minutes later, I saw a new image unlocked in the photo. What would Nakahara Chuya and Akutagawa brothers and sisters in plain white official uniforms react? Ye Zang sent him home, had dinner with Oba Ye Zang, and after promising him to come back to sleep tonight, she went back to the High School of Conjuration in order to get the school uniform left in the dormitory.
On the way to the dormitory, during the day, I met Xia Youjie, a young man with slender eyes that gave off a classical beauty, turned his head and smiled when he saw her. I have to say that this person really has the temperament and feeling of a living Buddha , Xia Youjie raised a hand to her in a relaxed and casual gesture: "Day, good evening, I'm back so late, how do you feel about doing a solo mission for the first time?"
"Senior Xia You, good evening, the task is fairly simple." Bai Tian walked over, "Are you waiting for Senior Wutiao?"
"Yeah, there's Nitro, let's go out for supper together when we're bored." Xia Youjie smiled, "But I came out first, so I'm waiting for them. Speaking of which, daytime."
"Ok?"
"Don't you have any feminine clothes in your daily clothes?" Xia Youjie looked at Bai Tian's overly neutral T-shirt and trousers, "It's not that it doesn't look good."
"Yes, but I didn't wear it out." Hearing this, Bai Tian, who changed the priest's uniform at home and came to the school dormitory to get his school uniform, looked down at his attire. He felt fine. Although the T-shirt was pure black, It should be considered cute to have cat paw prints on the corner of the clothes, right?
"By the way, I went back and thought a lot about what you said to me yesterday. Do you think...the strong should protect the weak?" Xia Youjie seemed to hesitate for a long time, and asked Bai Tian hesitantly.
After thinking for a while during the day, she seemed to be thinking about what Xia Youjie wanted to hear, and finally she could only give this answer: "Senior Xia You, then forgive me, we just have what ordinary people want to hear. Don’t take yourself too seriously for those who can do what others can’t because they don’t have the ability to do so.”
"It's really too direct and cruel." Xia Youjie smiled bitterly, although he knew from the short conversation yesterday that if he asked, he would get a sharp and vicious answer.
Bai Zhou nodded, and continued expressionlessly:
"Senior Xia You is actually far more proud than I think. In terms of individual strength, we are indeed far superior to ordinary people, but in the end we are still human beings, living in a society built by human beings with a pyramid structure. Engaging in the special profession of 'conjurer' fulfills the duties similar to that of a policeman who maintains law and order and protects the people.
Those who are not magicians are responsible for the operation of the entire society. This heavy pressure has caused so many negative emotions in Japanese society today. It is common sense that we should understand and fulfill our responsibilities. After all, it is the job of magicians to remove curses. .
I don't have the lofty ideas of senior Xia You. I only regard "spellmaster" as a profession that can achieve my own purpose and can be used to find similar professions rather than identity, so for me, the upper level of the magic world is " Intermediary', just to pass on work to clients, other than that their existence means nothing to me. "
The more he talked, the more he got off topic, Xia Youjie lost his mind for some reason, Bai Zhou was really an unexpected junior who was actually quite interesting.
"Of course, besides making money as a conjurer, I know that one person's strength is not enough." Bai Tian admittedly, her gaze became a little erratic and distant, as if looking at Xia Youjie through Xia Youjie. A place too far away to touch.
"And I want to protect the only people I want to protect, even if they're not weak, and I want to protect others because I can and I want to."
Xia Youjie understood that this was Bai Zhou's answer to his question.
"This world is big, but mine is small. It can only accommodate so many people. If anyone loses, this world will become empty and lonely. We can protect only those we can see. Senior Xia You, the more you take on, the greater the responsibility—in the end, you can’t even protect the people you want to protect.”
"It feels like every time I relax, you will speak amazingly." Xia Youjie laughed, helpless and distressed.
"Senior Xia You think I'm strong?" After answering Xia Youjie's question, Bai Zhou asked back.
"A super magician should be strong." Xia Youjie didn't have a deep understanding of Bai Tian's strength, and he could only infer that Bai Tian was really strong from the last strength test mission and Gojo Satoru's few words.
"It doesn't take me a minute to destroy a country." Xia Youjie felt a bone-chilling coldness from Bai Tian's words, "So now, does Senior Xia You think I'm strong?"
Bai Zhou's expression told Xia Youjie that what she said was not false, Xia Youjie was unable to give an answer for a while, and his reaction silently answered Bai Zhou's question.
"But I can't even protect a single person." Bai Zhou lowered his head slightly and chuckled, and asked again, "Do you still think I'm strong?"
Xia Youjie: "..."
What happened during the daytime, Xia Youjie didn't know, but the person she failed to protect must be very important to her, so that the death of that person became an indelible wound in the daytime heart.
"Sorry." Xia Youjie felt the heavy sorrow of losing an important person.
"Relatives, friends, teachers, seniors, there are only a few people in one's life who can be cared about in one's life. Losing any of them will hurt the heart." Bai Tian shook his head, "So compared to 'righteousness', being able to keep yourself The 'Little Love' has exhausted all my mind and attention, don't make yourself too tired, Senior Xia You."
Xia Youjie looked at Bai Tian, and he seemed to want to say something else, but the arrival of Jia Ru Nizi ended the topic.
"Good evening, Day."
"Good evening, Nitro."
Xia Youjie was helpless, and continued, "Glass, where is Wu?"
Jia Ruzi raised his eyebrows, raised his chin aside, motioned Xia Youjie to look over, and said, "You guys were so engrossed in chatting, didn't you notice that glistening white guy? The lampposts can't stop him. "
"I found out." She already had a deep understanding of how caring and disliking Gojo Satoru was during the day, so she said, "Senior Wujo didn't want to come here because of me, I'll just go."
Xia Youjie looked at Gojo Wu after hearing the words, and saw the guy pretending to be nonchalant and turning his back, like the kind of 'I want to cuddle with you but I won't say it, and not only I don't mean I will To behave like a cat who dislikes you' is to not let others look at him, and he doesn't know that he is afraid of what others will see, obviously this person doesn't know his own mind.
"Glass, if you eat too much heavy oil and salty supper at night, you will gain weight and acne, and your dark circles have no signs of getting better."
"You talk too much—" Nitro smiled kindly and stretched out her hand to grab Bai Tian's cheek and tried to shut him up, but the delicate and smooth touch like nephrite made her move a little bit, and then began to rub her hands fondly , "Your skin is insane. Wen Xiang Nephrite is talking about you, right? I don't know who will be cheaper in the future."
"I'm unlikely to give it to others cheaply." Bai Zhou said seriously.
"Tsk, that's right." Jiarui Nitzi asked reluctantly, putting down his hands.
Saying goodbye to her senior, she walked towards the dormitory during the daytime, and when she passed Gojo Satoru, she inadvertently caught sight of him and then hurriedly staggered away, without even a basic hello, because during the daytime, she knew that the other party would not give him any favors. You have a good face, so don't make trouble for yourself, and talk to you without authorization will only increase your embarrassment, so why don't you just walk by like this.
Watching Bai Ri's figure disappear into the end of his field of vision, Gojo Wucai took a few steps on his long legs and walked to Xia Youjie and Jiarui Nitrozi's side. The trio of second graders had arrived.
"Wu...you can't go on like this." Xia Youjie hesitated to speak, but still sighed and said this sentence, "I'm afraid it won't work."
"Add one, if this goes on like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Jia Ruyanzi couldn't agree more.
Gojo Satoru didn't know what they were talking about, and he couldn't concentrate on what his companion was saying. His mind was full of that person wearing a black Choker's neck. It was fine at a distance, but it was really close. There is an urge to take a bite of it.
wrong.
Gojo Satoru narrowed his eyes dangerously. He almost wrote rebellion in his bones. He even had a rebellious thought of not wanting to obey the thoughts that he couldn't control. It is undeniable that he is a complete lunatic like this. , but at the same time remained extremely calm.
"Let's go, the appointment time for the shop is coming up." Gojo Gojo reminded his two companions without paying attention to anything.
——But I still wanted to bite that guy's neck.
His face was careless, but what he was thinking was such a dangerous idea.
During the day, she felt a cold wind blowing from behind. Because of the golden armor, she didn't feel much warmth because of the whole body. She opened the door of her single dormitory, folded her school uniform and put it in the bag, and the phone rang , the caller ID is 'Mr. Yuanshan'.
"teacher?"
"Well, Ah Zhou, are you in school now?" Because Bai Tian raised a child, Yuan Shan Hengtai was not sure that Bai Tian would definitely be at school, even though she said that she would live on campus during weekdays and only go back on weekends, But that too is only based on special circumstances without exceptions.
"Well, yes, what can the teacher ask me for?"
"I heard from Takenouchi that your school uniform was burned? Is anyone okay?" On the other side of the phone, there was the sound of a vehicle driving from Hengta Harayama's side. He should be sitting in the car and still on the road.
"It's okay. I promised Ye Zangjun to rest at home tonight. I came to school to get a change of school uniform. Teacher, don't make phone calls while driving. Be careful."
"Didn't I just learn about today's events from Takenouchi? I couldn't help it. Is the kid okay? I just came back from Sendai and bought a special product there. I prepared a copy for you. You are waiting at school." After a while, take it back and eat with that child."
"Souvenir?" Bai Tian walked to the balcony and looked at the completely dark sky.
"Well, it's Kikufuku in Sendai. I bought some of all kinds, but I heard that the edamame whipped cream is the best, so I bought more. I'll be there right away, 10 minutes. The school uniform is still the same. Make a replacement for you?"
"Thank you for your kindness, then it's troublesome, I will wait for you to come back at school." Bai Tian's eyes became soft.
As Yuanshan Hengtai said, he probably arrived almost when he made the phone call, and returned to the High School of Conjuration within 10 minutes, and met Bai Zhou downstairs in the dormitory. The man over [-] years old smiled Handing the Xijiufu bag in his hand to Bai Tian, "Here, a present from the teacher!"
"Thank you teacher." Bai Tian took the bag with both hands, and thanked obediently.
"Why are you being polite to me?" Yuanshan Hengtai couldn't hold back and raised his hand to rub Bai Tian's hair. When he realized that the other party was already a first-level magician who was stronger than him, it was not suitable to do so, so he thought She wanted to withdraw her hand, but felt that her palm was being rubbed against by the fluffy white hair that was as smooth as silk.
Yuanshan Hengtai: "..."
Bai Zhou: "Teacher?"
"It's nothing." Hengtai Yuanshan rubbed his hands a few more times before letting go. Seeing that his student is definitely a puppet cat character, he always softened his heart unconsciously, probably because she was surrounded by sadness and silence when he first met. No matter how heavy the divinity is, it also left a fragile impression on him, "Go home."
"Well, good night, teacher, you have worked hard today."
"You too, good night, go back quickly." Yuanshan Hengtai finally urged, "The curse spirit will be more active at night, and if possible, you can wear something that can block the line of sight, such as flat glasses, which can effectively reduce the curse spirit. Considering the possibility of it being discovered and directly attacking you in public, the more powerful the conjurer's sight will bring the greater sense of threat to the conjurer."
"Understood, thank you teacher." Bai Zhou nodded clearly, and smiled too shallowly at Yuan Shanheng, "Then I'll go back."
"Be careful on the road." Yuanshan Hengtai waved to Baitian, watched the white-haired girl take a few steps away and waved back to him before speeding up to leave. Due to the dangers of the profession of magician, Yuan Shanheng too dare not marry and have children, for fear that he will die suddenly and leave his wife and children behind.
His parents died at the hands of the curse spirit, so Yuanshan Hengtai was caught in hatred for a long time and couldn't wake up. Finally...as everyone saw, he became a teacher of the high school of conjuration. own students.
Ashamed to say, this is actually his first year of teaching. Hui Yuanxiong, Nanami Jianren, and Bai Zhou are the first batch of students he brought. In Yuan Shan Hengtai's heart, these three students are already equivalent to his children. , everything can be arranged well without any omissions, I just hope that my students can live happily and for a long time, don't be like him before.
Yuanshan Hengtai thinks it is not bad to be single for the rest of his life. He is also comfortable and has no worries. He will not have any regrets if he dies in the battle with the curse spirit one day. At least his students will collect his body, and some people will remember to burn some for him every year. thing.
On the way to the dormitory, during the day, I met Xia Youjie, a young man with slender eyes that gave off a classical beauty, turned his head and smiled when he saw her. I have to say that this person really has the temperament and feeling of a living Buddha , Xia Youjie raised a hand to her in a relaxed and casual gesture: "Day, good evening, I'm back so late, how do you feel about doing a solo mission for the first time?"
