Correct use of scientific spells

Oral consent is not a certainty, Toyama Minato responded with a cautious attitude.

Maybe there will be interviews and induction training later, and maybe some experience used in job fairs can be obtained from seniors in the fourth grade.Toyama Minato thought that there was still a tough battle to fight, and was determined to arm himself to the teeth—although the stationery for poor students was still the rosary beads provided by Grandma Sanzhi.

Being a member of the "window" in this way can be regarded as stepping into the edge of the world, right?He was reading a book in the library while turning his pen. On the table lay a palm-sized mechanical spider, with a wire trailing from its tail, which was being connected to a power strip for charging.

Farther away, a rotating new spider was silently monitoring the corner of the library.

An expensive black sedan speeds down the road.

The assistant supervisor had already driven on the expressway and planned to pick up the person. He held the steering wheel and realized belatedly: How did that person know my work email account?

It was probably provided by the recommender... All kinds of work schedules flashed through his mind quickly, and he forgot about such trivial details. Anyway, there will be an interview later, and the rest of the questions can be answered. We'll talk about it then.

It took three hours from the time the assistant supervisor came to the scene to the complete exorcism of the curse spirit, and these three hours even included the driving time. It can be said that the efficiency is quite good.The level of the magic spirit is set at level [-], and the magician has been complaining since he came, saying something like "This kind of low-level garbage can be killed by anyone, why do you want him to come?" .

The assistant supervisor apologized, and finished the work amidst the impatient attitude of the other party. After ensuring that there was no trace of the curse spirit left on the scene, he kept a record file. When all the work processes were completely completed, the time was approaching. evening.

"Sorry to keep you waiting until this time."

The two of them sat down in a family restaurant near Tokyo Electric Power University. Toyama Minato wore the strange sunglasses made by the laboratory on his face. In the eyes of most people, it looked like he was wearing a weird sci-fi style cosplay eye mask. .

The assistant superintendent didn't have any attitude towards his appearance - after all, there are many magicians in strange clothes - he said with a bit of embarrassment: "It is basically confirmed that you have the ability to be a "window" Quality, the next thing to do is just an inquiry on the process, and the content needs to be entered in the file, so please take it seriously. "

Toyama Minato nodded. He originally thought that he was going to face several inspectors in a stricter place, but he didn't expect to do it in a relaxed place like a family restaurant.

"Although the headquarters of the magician is in Kyoto, we also have an official office in Tokyo. If there is an urgent matter to report, you can go to that address in the future."

The other party handed over a business card, "After all, it's off-duty time... Mr. Yamami is still a student, right? I just thought that you might have to go to school during weekdays, so I planned to change the interview location to here."

Toyama Minato was already prepared and handed over his business card to the other party.His mailing address is the campus address of Tokyo Electric University, and the laboratory that Hong Liqi applied for before has been temporarily reserved. Even if someone really wants to investigate his background relationship, he can only find out the cooperation with Miss Ming—— —With the academic accomplishments of most conjurers, this level of investigation can only further confirm his status as a "puppet operator".

"Yamami" was written on the business card, which was not his real name, and it was no surprise that the auxiliary supervisor saw this. Obviously, the use of pseudonyms is a common situation in this industry.

The inquiry started off quite well.

"Your age is... well, since you have always been able to see, why did you choose to become a window now?"

"Spell spirits are scary, and my parents are ordinary people who don't have the slightest understanding of this industry. They are firm materialists. If there are ghosts in this world, they must not believe it at all."

The truth and lies should be mixed together, and the larger the proportion of the truth, the easier it is for people to believe: "My parents' arrangements for my future are very clear, and I went all the way to college smoothly... When I was young, I also considered whether to I became an official magician, but at that time, I felt that it was better to choose a future with certainty than to face unpredictable risks.”

The assistant supervisor nodded, this situation is really understandable.

"I basically got all the knowledge about conjurers from the Internet, and I also knew one or two seniors who came to Tokyo from the countryside. I made up my mind because some time ago, some juniors from the conjuration college came to Dongdian University to help Except for a curse spirit that appeared near the laboratory."

"A high school student?"

The assistant supervisor was stunned, but he didn't expect such a development: "Which one is it..."

"——also a Shikigami."

Toyama Minato deliberately made the answer vague.

The other party seemed to understand immediately: "Ah! Xia You, right? So, like you, you come from a family of non-magic masters, and you are also a shikigami, so you must have exchanged a lot of experience..."

Maybe that's the result, but the process is totally wrong.

Xia Youjie has always had a good reputation among many auxiliary supervisors. He is strong enough and polite enough. To be able to take care of ordinary people who are involved in the magic spirit incident... This is a clear stream among a large group of magicians with eyes growing on top of their heads.

"That's their problem."

Yuan Shan watched the whole process from the sidelines in the library, although not with his own eyes, but through a layer of cameras: "There is nothing to be proud of, that arrogant attitude."

He seemed very aggrieved, and when he thought about taking care of that kind of giant baby whose eyes were above the top, he even worried whether the professional pressure of the job of assisting supervision was a bit too much.

The man in front of him smiled generously.

"This is also impossible."

He said: "After all, to put it bluntly, those conjurers are risking their lives to protect us. The pressure of life and death may change a person from a personality level every moment, so that attitude... ...I can accept that too."

The assistant supervisor paused: "After all, my duty is to send people to places where they may die again and again. If someone has dissatisfaction, I can vent it immediately... that would be better."

Obviously saying such words, there was no resentment or sadness on that person's face, as if he had already gotten used to his current job.Toyama Minato had only just entered college, and he didn't have any intuitive understanding of the workplace and work pressure. He looked into the other person's eyes and remained silent.

— Excessive stress promotes the rapid maturation of the brain’s prefrontal cortex and amygdala [1], which is what he heard in this semester’s elective course, and if he suffered from severe childhood stress, it is likely to Make a child appear to be much more mature than his peers.

"But at the same time."

The teacher said in the classroom: "If you live in a stressful environment all the time, it will greatly affect a person's emotional control ability and self-regulation function, which will cause the accumulation of cortisol and even affect the brain. Blood supply."

The conclusion concluded in the last class is that excessive pressure will affect a person's personality development and growth. Even if it can show a state of short-term growth in childhood, once the front is stretched to the entire life, then there will be very different results.

Yuan Shan stretched out his hand, and opened the drone's internal memory with a click, which contained part of the data of the conjurer's dealing with the curse spirit: If you live in a world where life is in danger all the time, it really won't be anything wonderful experience.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have told you this."

The assistant supervisor quickly adjusted his mood: "Although basically as long as you can see it, you can become a "window", but there are still some work precautions that need to be handed over. "

He took out a thick stack of documents from the package he was carrying, turned around and handed it to Toyama Minato with both hands.The latter flipped through it casually, and it probably explained the grading rules of the curse spirit, the precautions for sealing off the scene after discovering the curse spirit, how to deal with being contacted by the auxiliary supervisor because of an emergency, and so on.

"Mr. Yamami hasn't received the education of a magician before, right? It's better to take a look at these. There are also some skills for non-combatants to guard against magic spirits."

Toyama Minato nodded, which can be said to be quite considerate.

However, being considerate is all about being considerate, he can't fully follow many contents, such as...

Minato Toyama turned to one of the pages: "Predetermine the level of the spell spirit based on the amount of spell power?"

"Because spell power reserves of different levels of spell spirits are not the same, in order to maximize the work efficiency of spell casters, generally choose to send spell casters of appropriate level to exorcise spells whose strength is equal to or lower than their own. Curse spirit."

The assistant supervisor explained: "It can be regarded as some skills in project management, right? The difficult work should be handed over to more powerful people, and their time should not be wasted on simple low-level spells."

Yuanshan Minato nodded his head to express his understanding, but the problem is that although this method is reasonable, he has no way of determining the level of the spell spirit at all - only conjurers can perceive the power of the spell, and his method of using detection equipment to detect Scanning methods can only detect entities that cannot be detected by the naked eye.

In other words, he can discover the curse spirit, but he cannot determine how strong the opponent is.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of his career, there was such a thing waiting ahead, Toyama scratched his hair, and asked cautiously: "But what if something goes wrong? After all, I have never tried to be graded by a curse spirit before. If because of my mistake in judgment, I sent a conjurer whose level doesn't match, wouldn't it be..."

"At the beginning, newcomers only need to report the location where the spell spirit appeared, and the specific statistics and judgments will be made by the experienced assistant supervisors present."

The other party gave a relieved smile: "Wait until you gradually accumulate experience and then slowly let you make your own judgments. Each "window" has its own normal range of activities, and most of the time their responsibilities only cover their own range. area within. "

Toyama Minato nodded. If he simply used manpower to discover the curse spirit, it would indeed be like this. Let alone leaving Tokyo, he himself had very few chances to leave Chiyoda District on weekdays.

But that doesn't mean he won't drop the drone elsewhere: "Let's ask first, if I find a curse spirit somewhere other than Chiyoda, will I still connect with you? After all, I'm a college student, and what I learned Majors also often need to go out for research, and I don’t know where I will work after graduation..."

"Of course, the auxiliary supervisor will also communicate with each other internally. In that case, you can contact me first, and then I will transfer the information of the curse spirit to the local responsible supervisor for docking."

The other party took it for granted: "Don't worry too much, we have a lot of experience in this field - an excellent assistant supervisor must memorize hundreds of "window" contact methods proficiently, haha. "

After bidding farewell to the other party, Toyama Minato didn't want to go back to the Lab alone, but found Felice Meow Meow's coffee shop, ordered a cup of coffee alone and thought about it.The maid cafe can accommodate all kinds of strange guys in a sense, and the person wearing special cos glasses is no exception. He puts the earphones into his ears while drinking coffee, and plays back the audio recorded in the library. information.

The conjurer who came to get rid of the spirit was surnamed "Chanyuan", and he had a name with a weird four-letter pronunciation.He rudely ordered the assistant supervisor to expel the students from the classroom. It was the time for the final review. Although he used the reason that the classroom was being repaired, it took a while to complete the clearance.

"This kind of low-level work is still done so slowly, no wonder I can only do odd jobs here for the rest of my life."

He said that the background voice echoed with a smiley face: "You stare out of the window. If this thing accidentally runs out, even if you rush to hug it, you have to stop it."

Then there is a mantra of unknown meaning, "Born from darkness, from darkness to darkness, filthy and filthy, all filthy."

Toyama Minato pretended to be a student preparing for the exam nearby (in fact, he was preparing for the exam). Through the comparison of the two timelines, the sound in the room in the library could not be heard outside after the spell, and could only be heard from the ground. The slight vibration from the upload realized that the inside was indeed not so peaceful, but the spider lying in the corner from the beginning had a clear record of the fight. It was hard to imagine that the sound waves had been reduced to such an extent within such a short distance.

This made him couldn't help but think of another thing - the night when he first touched the magic spirit with his own hands, he encountered a completely transparent air wall in Ikebukuro, as if an NPC in the game touched the world he was in the edge of.

Machines can pass, but people can't, and people can't even hold machines.

This can't be explained by his current knowledge for the time being, but "can't see but can touch" is exactly the same as the curse spirit.According to his experience of watching novels, comics and movies for so many years, this may be similar to some kind of "Muggle Repelling Curse".

As I expected, this industry has accumulated rich experience in secrecy over the millennium. If it weren't for the rise of the Internet and gradually advanced detection equipment, they would indeed be able to hide this secret forever.

But this is not important for the time being, he thought, there are two new problems that need to be solved urgently, one of which is to "find a way to measure the power of the spell", so as to realize the judgment of the level of the spell; the other is to find a way Get enough magic-breaking arrows and add some bad student stationery.

The former does not know how to solve it for the time being, but the latter is easy to solve.

A few minutes later, Xia Youjie, who was reviewing, received a text message.

"Mr. Xia You."

The other party asked very politely: "Can I ask you to go to a nearby shrine before the New Year? I will try not to take up your time when you go back to school."

Xia Youjie:? ?

Is this an invitation to hang out?Although it sounded similar, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that the other party's personality should not make him choose a place like a shrine.

Sure enough, not long after, a new message notification popped up on his phone screen. It was the other party who explained that he wanted to buy some New Year's items in advance for the first month.

"We can't tell good from bad after all."

Toyama Minato's original words are as follows: "So I want to ask you to help screen it."

He pondered for a few seconds, then turned to look at his best friend who was reading manga and didn't intend to review it at all: "Wu, do you plan to go out to play after the exam? It's an invitation from senior."

"Go!"

Gojo Satoru thought of the laboratory of Tokyo Dental University, their collection of uppas, and the new maid cafes they visited every once in a while: "Where are you going?"

"A shrine...probably."

Xia Youjie hesitated for a moment: "He said he was going to go shopping there."

Gojo Satoru's expectant expression collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye: "Oh, that's not going to happen."

Xia Youjie:?

Gojo Satoru's face was full of disgust: "That kind of place is so boring, I have to go several times a year, whether it is Tenmangu Shrine or Hachimangu Shrine, it's all the same trouble - Jie can go by himself .”

This is indeed a bit surprising, after all, most of the time this guy will follow him like a conjoined twin.Xia Youjie then edited the text message, expressing that Wu could not be together this time, and hoped that the members of the Lab would act more tightly and not be too scattered. If he wanted to carry out any dangerous exploration, he alone could not guarantee the safety of so many people.

"Uh, sorry, didn't you make it clear earlier?"

Soon, the other party replied: "This time Okabe and the others are not with me, they are going to do another very important thing..."

So there are actually only two people going.

"I'm still wondering if I can buy more. Manpower is limited, so I might as well borrow Mr. Tianwangji's car..."

The other party sent a series of chat bubbles, but Xia Youjie didn't pay attention to it. He lay on his back on the bed in the dormitory, with his half-length hair loose, and stretched out his hand towards the ceiling.

——So there are two people going.
