Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 436 Academic Exchanges Led by Ke Xuan
"…Is this, ice magic?"

Koizumi Hongzi hugged her shoulders and shivered.

This feels colder than Tokyo's winter...

But her eyes were full of passion.

This spell... Oh no, this method of using 'qi' is so convenient! I don't even need to turn on the air conditioner in the summer...

Gin took a breath of the air which instantly turned cold, feeling very comfortable.

God knows how uncomfortable he had in the summer: when he climbed up, he was always releasing cool air from his clothes to maintain his body temperature.

Because of practicing this technique, his body temperature is much lower than that of normal people, and his perception of heat is completely different from that of ordinary people.

"Where is your magic?" Gin looked at Koizumi Akako curiously.

He really wanted to know if all magicians could summon a fireball to attack the enemy.

Koizumi Akako was also troubled by how to use her abilities.

"In fact, compared to magic, I am better at sorcery." Koizumi Hongzi explained first, and then said apologetically, "As for spells, I am not proficient in many, only lightning and fire magic."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and a ball of floating flame emerged from the palm of her hand.

Gin's eyes lit up.

This is it? !

The legendary fireball technique?
"Can you throw it out?" Gin made a somewhat unreasonable request, "If you can, try throwing it at me?"

Koizumi Hongzi: "..."

This was the first time she had seen someone actively asking to be harmed by magic.

However, Hongzi would naturally not refuse such a request. After increasing the output of magic power, the flame on her hand suddenly grew larger, then broke away from her palm and rushed towards Gin at a rapid speed.

This speed is naturally snail speed compared to a bullet, and as long as you are not frightened by the fireball and unable to move, you can basically dodge it.

But Gin originally came here to test the power of magic, so he would not judge anything else.

So, he took the hit of the fireball head on.

‘Stab it——’

When the flame touched Gin's coat, it was as if some kind of program was suddenly activated. It suddenly expanded from a small ball, and then wrapped around Gin's entire body like a ferocious beast.

Koizumi Hongzi stared at Gin who had turned into a fire man, feeling a little nervous...

...It's not that I'm nervous about burning people to death, but I'm afraid that my flames will be of no use at all.

From the fact that when Gin released his energy, even the surrounding air was affected, Hongzi could tell that Gin's ability was definitely higher than hers.

At least, she couldn't raise the temperature of the surrounding air when releasing flames.

"Sizzle~"

After a few seconds, the flames that enveloped Gin suddenly emitted a few puffs of green smoke, and then lost their previous power. They weakly retreated from Gin's body and gradually gathered into a small ball again.

“It’s pretty powerful.”

Gin reappeared, looking at the small flame with appreciation, and poked it with his hand, "It actually burned away all the Qi that protected my body. It's much stronger than ordinary fire."

Koizumi Hongzi breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little proud.

After all, it is a flame formed by magic power!
However, it was a pity for Gin to arrive in time: he found that this kind of magic power that gathered into flames was completely incompatible with Qi. Although the two could coexist, neither side could absorb or transform the other.

In other words, he couldn't learn this fireball technique.

However, it should be no problem to let the other party learn this kind of skills, after all, magic power and Qi can coexist.

After the two leaders of the metaphysics side had another in-depth academic exchange, Gin gradually returned to the main topic:

"Kaito told you about our organization, didn't he?"

"Indeed, I also know about this matter, so I wanted to come and see you." Koizumi Hongzi's attitude was very respectful.

For practitioners, those who are more accomplished come first, not to mention that Gin completely outshines her in terms of age.

"So what? Are you interested in joining?" Gin took out the stack of documents he had just shown to Bourbon. "There are all kinds of people in the organization, and they don't interfere with your own affairs. Except for some intelligence duties and emergency tasks that must be performed, you are basically a free person." Koizumi Akako is different from Furuya Rei. She is a witch, and her values ​​are obviously different from those of ordinary people. Gin doesn't think it necessary to waste words on her.

And even if the other party is unwilling to join, he won't feel as sorry as Bourbon for not joining them.

As for witches, the witches Gin knew from novels were all loners, so it was normal for them not to like joining a group...

Just as Gin was thinking this, he saw Koizumi Hongzi taking the document he took out, her eyes curved:
"I'd love to!"

Gin: “……!”

Oh my god, there's a witch in their organization? ! Magician!

'Hiss, now that the output is full, should we get a tank?'

Gin's thoughts strayed for a moment, but he came back the next moment, pretending to be serious, "Hey, little magician...if you want to join, you need to sign these documents first, and other people will do the rest of the formalities. Just leave your contact information."

Koizumi Hongzi nodded repeatedly.

She felt that this uncle was full of kindness and didn't seem to covet her power at all...

"By the way, after joining the organization... let me think, you are quite special after all, so you can register under the names of a few of us first, so that you can be exposed to the martial arts we practice in advance." Gin said kindly again.

Koizumi Hongzi was immediately surprised: "That kind of 'Qi' technique? I can practice it too?!"

Wouldn't that mean she would have a chance to improve even further?

"Of course... don't be like that silly boy Kaito, who has joined for a year but still hasn't gotten started." Gin looked at Kaito with a bit of disappointment.

The next moment, he fell silent.

Because Kaito was hanging there with his tongue hanging out, his mouth was wide open, and his eyes were rolled up, like a dead fish.

Gin: "..."

It’s over. I accidentally forgot about the child…

Hongzi: “…”

It’s over, Kaito won’t die, right?

After the two of them took turns checking, they all breathed a sigh of relief - fortunately, the person was still alive.

I guess he suffocated due to lack of oxygen to his brain.

Gin turned his head silently, "You should play less dangerous games in the future."

If someone is killed accidentally, it is also a huge loss to the organization.

Koizumi Hongzi: "..."

No, no, they are not playing!
Looking at Kaito who was still unconscious, Gin thought he had to send him back.

But before he jumped down from the tower carrying Kaito, he thought of another question and looked at Hongzi, "By the way, Kaito said you can tell fortunes?"

"Ah? Yes, divination and witchcraft are one of my best abilities." Koizumi Hongzi blinked and took out a crystal ball. "What do you want to predict?"

"Well... consider it my future." Gin doesn't mind being superstitious.

There is nothing wrong with Koizumi Akako.

She held the amethyst ball and closed her eyes.

Under Gin's surprised gaze, the crystal ball emitted a bright purple light, then flashed a few times and dimmed.

After a while, Koizumi Hongzi opened her eyes, and her face was inexplicably pale.

She took out a piece of paper and a quill, wrote a few words on the paper and handed it to Gin, "Well, you'd better open it when you are alone."

Gin: "..."

Could it be that the divination predicted that he would die a miserable death in the future?

He is afraid.
