Magical User Aozaki Aoko Case Files

She originally thought that this thing was similar to RPG, where she could earn a lot of experience points by killing a few chickens, and wouldn't it be great to be a sword god of Shilipo? But after trying it, she realized that if she wanted to improve her mage level, she had to meditate and study every day, or use spells to fight against enemies who were not much weaker than her.

And there was no clear quantification at the beginning. Qingzi was just studying magic, and then suddenly one day she had a flash of inspiration and she upgraded.

In the past two years, Qingzi has been thinking about how he could use magic net spells or magic to quantify his upgrade progress in detail and create something like a "character panel".

However, the progress of this research has not been very good until recently when some vague inspirations were obtained. More research and learning are needed to realize the inspiration.

Now that she has reached the 9th level of the mage and obtained the first 5th-ring spell slot, finding some suitable 5th-ring spells has become the key task in preparing to deal with Orange's "Return of the Dragon King".

Qingzi closed her eyes as she prepared her spell for today, her whole mind immersed in her own body, or perhaps in the fragments of the magic web deep in her soul.

The so-called magic net is the sum of the magic energy contained in all things in the world, and all the original magic is the raw material of creation, and they each have consciousness of varying sizes. These conscious original magics cannot be used directly by mortals, but wizards can cast spells through the "net" woven by the original magic strings.

Qingzi understood that the magic web in her body was definitely not as simple as knocking off a "fragment" from the magic web, because when she entered this "fragment of the magic web", she saw an endless and magnificent ocean. Infinite and indescribable colors and knowledge washed away her understanding of the world.

If she wants to gain knowledge from this extremely complex ocean of magic, she must work hard to use her own consciousness as a "net bag" to fish out some valuable things from the ocean of magic for her to learn.

In the past, she could only search for treasures in the "shallow sea" of the magic net, but as her magic knowledge increased and her level increased, Qingzi could go deeper in the magic net. She immediately understood that in the depths of this bizarre ocean, there were not only precious treasures, but also incomprehensible dangers.

Therefore, every time she meditated, Qingzi carefully looked for what she wanted, and she never touched those magical lights that looked bright and beautiful but whose "real purpose" she could not understand.

At this moment, after some careful searching, Qingzi found three suitable 5th-ring spells.

She opened her eyes, and her consciousness left the fragments of the magic web. But Qingzi still maintained a "flow" state without joy or sadness, picked up her pen, and began to copy new spells on the blank pages of the spell book.

She also needs to focus when casting spells, but the state of focus is not the same as the state of flow. Aoko can focus at any time, as long as she is not seriously distracted. But entering the state of flow requires her to do some preparation beforehand, such as meditating and preparing spells every morning.

The three new 5th-level spells are: Nezran's Sapphire Shroud from the school of abjuration, teleport from the school of conjuration, and wall of force from the school of evocation.

Although these three spells belong to different schools, they all have defensive and field clearing functions. After Qingzi formally mastered the fifth magic, her offensive ability in the field of magic has undoubtedly been greatly improved. Then it is undoubtedly a good choice to use the magic net spell to supplement her defensive ability.

Of course, there are also some unsolvable defensive measures in the application of the fifth magic, but the cost of using the fifth magic prevents her from using it often. After all, she doesn't want to always encounter the annoying lackeys of the inhibitory force (realism).

At about seven o'clock, Qingzi finished copying the new spell. As for the specific learning and trial process, she would have to leave it for another time.

Aoko put away her spell book, stood up, stretched, and walked out of her room.

Qingzi made a delicious and healthy breakfast for herself and Youzhu (Da Zhuang also got some), and after eating it carefully, they each prepared to go to school.

Wearing a helmet and riding a motorcycle, Aoko was thinking about how to deal with the questions from teachers and classmates after she arrived at school, but then she thought, why should she care about what her classmates said? As long as a person is strong enough, he or she can ignore the opinions of others, and Aozaki Aoko is a leader in this field. Rumors are meaningless to her.

Thinking of this, Qingzi felt relieved, and the little psychological pressure she had originally felt also disappeared.

Chapter 22 Aoko's School Life

When we arrived at the school gate, it started to drizzle again.

Qingzi looked up and saw that most of the sunlight was hidden in the clouds. Only some tiny bright rays leaked through the imperceptible gaps, bringing a little vitality to this gloomy Wednesday.

"Hey! Students over there! The school does not allow students to ride motorcycles to school!" A female student with long, brown curly hair ran up to Qingzi and questioned her aggressively.

Qingzi looked down and laughed. Isn't this the cute girl from the student union, Wanli Jinlu? She didn't recognize me after not coming to school for a few days?

When she was in junior high school, Qingzi always asked her family to pick her up. After entering high school, she bought a motorcycle and drove without a license every day to enjoy the fun of riding a motorcycle.

Aoko took off her helmet, revealing her long red hair that looked like flowing flames, and looked at Kumari Golden Deer with a half-smile.

"Huh?! President Aoko?!" The cute and petite girl was stunned and at a loss as she looked at the biker who was wearing a jacket on his upper body and a pleated skirt of his school uniform on his lower body.

"What? You don't recognize me after just a few days?" Qingzi teased, "You don't even recognize me, the president, then I have to reconsider your position as accountant, Jinlu?"

"You still say that!" Kumanli Jinlu said angrily, "President Aoko, do you know how tired Vice President Tsukiji and I were during your absence?! The vice president is about to experience the death of overwork in advance!"

"Is it that serious?" Qingzi was stunned and said, "It's just a high school student union, how can there be so much work to do?"

"That's a normal student union with all members on duty!" Kumanli Jinlu pointed out with an index finger, "Our student union is not well-organized to begin with, and the president disappears from time to time, so even an accountant like me has been dragged out to guard the gate!"

"Isn't that great?" Aoko said nonchalantly, "Doesn't Tsukiji like the feeling of being in power? Wouldn't it be better if I didn't come?"

"Power is a good thing, but you have to be alive to enjoy it!" Kumanli Golden Deer sighed, "President Aoko, you will understand when you see the vice president's appearance. Oh, by the way, why did you dye your hair? Students are not allowed to dye their hair!"

"What do you mean by dyed hair?" Qingzi said to the student union accountant while she parked her motorcycle on campus. "My hair is natural. I've never dyed it, okay?"

"You're kidding!" Kumari Kinkaku's expression became as funny as a comic special effect, "Don't take me for an idiot. Aoko-kun didn't grow your hair... eh?"

The accountant of the student union was confused, because in her memory, she could no longer remember the exact color of Aozaki Aoko's hair, but it was definitely not red... No, it was really not red?

Seeing this, Qingzi smiled secretly. The color of her hair was a sequelae of activating the fifth magic. In the original time and space, Qingzi would only enter this state when using the fifth magic, but now because she has completely entered the Root Vortex and obtained the complete fifth magic, her hair has always remained red.

This change is actually caused by the so-called "first mover", which is the phenomenon of conformity to cause and effect. Kumanli Jinlu is now surprised by the change in the color of her hair. This memetic effect has not completely changed her memory. It is estimated that if you ask her again in a few days, she will only answer "President, did you take the wrong medicine? Hasn't your hair always been red?"

Of course, magicians like Yuzu and Orange can still remember her previous hair color. After all, magicians who are strong enough can resist the tampering of their memories by this memetic infection.

While listening to Kumari Kinro's nagging at her, Aoko came to the vicinity of her classroom.

Pushing open the door, Qingzi looked at the teachers and classmates whom she hadn't seen for many days.

Because the class had not officially started yet and the teacher was preparing for the class meeting, the students were still chatting before she walked in. However, after they noticed Aoko came back, they immediately became silent. Even Teacher Yamashiro on the podium didn't know what to say.

Qingzi didn't feel embarrassed at all. She walked into the classroom confidently, nodded to the teacher, and then walked straight to the second to last table by the window and sat down.

That’s right, this is the throne of destiny for many protagonists in the multiverse (laughs).

The teacher did not comment on Qingzi's hair color and her absence for many days, and continued to maintain his own pace and started today's class meeting.

"We will have a monthly exam today, everyone please get ready." The young teacher Shancheng reminded, and the students in the audience wailed. Many students almost forgot that there was a monthly exam today.

Aoko didn't care at all. After all, the difficulty of the knowledge in Japanese private high schools was completely meaningless to her. If she wanted to, she would have gone to college long ago.

Misaki Town in this world is actually located in the suburbs of Tokyo, which is why Aoko was able to find Asagami Girls' Academy nearby to go to school. The famous Root Vortex (laughs) Kanbushi City is completely located in Tokyo.

So after she solves the mess at Misaki's hometown, Aoko will immediately graduate and apply for the university entrance examination. The University of Tokyo looks good. With Aoko's current knowledge reserves and the additional intelligence bonus from having a magician profession, it can be said that passing the entrance examination of the University of Tokyo is easy.

It would be cheating to let Aoko compete with ordinary students now.

---Dividing line---

At about 9:30 in the morning, Qingzi started the exam.

Since Misaki High School is a private school, it basically ignores the Ministry of Education's regulations on reducing the burden on students, so the students are under great academic pressure.

She looked at the schedule written on the blackboard and found that she had at least six exams today.

The first subjects in the morning are Chinese (modern), mathematics, and chemistry. There is a one-hour lunch break at noon, and then there are physics, English, and physical education in the afternoon.

As for courses such as health care and home economics, as well as the German and Latin exams which were Qingzi's elective subjects, they were scheduled for tomorrow.

Taking the test paper distributed by the teacher, Qingzi quickly glanced through it, and then started answering the questions before the teacher finished explaining the precautions.

The elegant brushstrokes flew up and down, and all the answers were formed at once. Aoko's answers could be said to be impeccable, and even her handwriting could be used as a model for calligraphy practice.

As a matter of course, Qingzi finished the test paper half of the time in advance. She handed the test paper to the teacher generously. The teacher had already seen Qingzi's ability, so he was calm and just reminded Qingzi not to make any noise in the corridor and disturb the students who were taking the exam.

There was still some time before the next exam, so Qingzi left the teaching building with brisk steps and strolled around the campus.

Chapter 23 Private Misaki High School Student Union

After a short break, Aoko returned to the classroom to continue the exam.

For subjects like mathematics, if the exams were difficult in Misaki High School, Aoko could write the correct answers with her eyes closed. She only spent about a third of the time allowed to complete the entire test paper, or rather, most of the time Aoko spent answering the questions was spent on writing.

For example, chemistry, which was not very proficient in the "previous life", is one of the rare subjects that Qingzi needs to take some time to memorize and study. However, due to the bonus of high intelligence attribute, the basic chemistry of high school level is not difficult for Qingzi at all.

Some people may ask, isn't there alchemy in the field of magic? Then why does Qingzi need to learn chemistry separately?

This is because true alchemy mostly follows a different logical principle from chemistry, which is the so-called "mystical theory". Qingzi was once very curious about how gold, a heavy element that can only be produced during the collapse of a star, was created by alchemy?

No matter how bizarre the mysterious rules left on the surface of the planet are, as long as you leave the surface and enter the cosmic level, all of this is meaningless. So Qingzi finally speculated that the alchemists on Earth actually used some kind of "replacement" magic to replace specific metals with gold somewhere on the planet to achieve the so-called "turning stone into gold" effect.

The reason why it has not reached the level of "magic" is because magicians are actually taking shortcuts, Qingzi thought arrogantly.

---Dividing line---

Qingzi ran out of the examination room early and went to the school cafeteria alone to enjoy lunch time. Although the food in the school cafeteria tasted only average, Qingzi still ate with relish. She ordered a bowl of beef udon and sat alone in the corner of the cafeteria, eating while thinking about the new spell problem she had acquired during the morning meditation.

As for the Sapphire Shield, like the Exploding Emerald of the School of Transmutation, it consumes an expensive gem after use. Qingzi wondered if he could use artificial gems as a substitute, otherwise it would be a bit too costly to consume so much money every time he cast a spell.

Although Aoko is confident in her ability to make money and will not fall into the same predicament as Toosaka Rin, it is still a good thing to be able to get cheap and easy-to-use spell materials.

The udon noodles tasted pretty good. When Aoko was almost finishing her meal, other students began to come into the restaurant.

Just as Aoko finished her udon and was about to leave the restaurant, a boy sat down opposite her.

Aoko looked up and almost laughed out loud. Isn't this Tsukiji Tobimaru?

This guy's usually neatly combed back hair looked a little messy now. His face looked listless and he had a pair of dark circles under his eyes. The vice president of the student union looked at Qingzi with resentment.

"President, you won't run away after the exam today, right?" Tsukiji Tobimaru said.

"What do you mean by running away?" Aoko said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "This is called knowing how to use people wisely! People with abilities should take on more responsibilities. Vice President Tsuki is so good at handling the daily affairs of the Student Union, so naturally he should take on more responsibilities."

"Then shouldn't you stay in the student union to work!" Tsukiji Tobimaru said viciously, "Do you know how I've been here these days? I've been preparing for the exams while also dealing with student union work. I'm not like some guy with the highest deviation value who can get full marks in every exam!"

"Ah! President Aoko, Vice President Tsuki!" A clear and cheerful voice came from a distance. Aoko looked up and found that it was the accountant of the student union, Kumari Kinro.

She trotted over with the food in her hand, first glanced at Vice President Tsukiji Tobimaru, then glanced at President Aoko who was sitting opposite him with a mysterious expression, and then sat down next to Tsukiji Tobimaru without hesitation.

Aoko has long known that Kumari Kinro has always had a crush on the handsome vice president Tsukiji Toimaru, but Tsukiji Toimaru was one of the first guys in the school to express his love to Aoko. But before he made his move, he happened to see Aoko ruthlessly rejecting all the boys and girls in the school who sent her love letters, so he stopped at the brink and gave up this relationship that ended before it even began.

Later, during the student council work, the closer Tsukiji Tobimaru got to Aoko, the more he understood the essence of Aoko. She was a person from a completely different world from him. He found that although Aoko was usually polite, under this perfect mask, she was full of arrogance and ruthlessness towards others.

This is not the kind of arrogance that is formed by oppression due to status or wealth, but rather that Aoko, as a human being, has contempt for others in a certain biological sense.

Tsukiji Toimaru had doubted his own judgment, because no matter what, you Aozaki Aoko and I Tsukiji Toimaru are still human beings, right? But perhaps all this was just his misunderstanding, because he felt that Aoko herself did not notice that there was anything wrong with her attitude towards others.

Perhaps in Aozaki Aoko's eyes, Tsukiji Toimaru was no different from an ordinary student you might meet on campus or a flower or plant on the roadside. This understanding of the current situation eventually made Tsukiji Toimaru calm down and let go of his feelings for Aozaki Aoko.

Tsukiji Toimaru was calm, but the student council accountant was not. Kumari Kinkaku had liked Tsukiji Toimaru for many years, and she had even started this unrequited love journey when she was in junior high school.

After learning that Tsukiji Toimaru had given up pursuing Aoko, Kumari's fading love for the girl was rekindled. She immediately applied for the accountant position in the student council, and after passing the assessment set by Aoko, the petite girl finally successfully joined the student council of Misaki High School.

In Kumari Kinkaku's opinion, the vice president worked so hard just to please the absent president Aozaki! This man must still have feelings for Aozaki Aoko, so she must keep an eye on him!

However, Kumari Kinka also understood that Aoko's interest in Tsuki Tsukasa was not even as great as her, Kumari Kinka, so the girl had never had any hostility towards her president. After all, everyone would like a beauty of Aoko's level.

So, like now, as soon as Kumari Kinkaku sees Tsukiji Tobimaru and Aoko sitting together, she will immediately come over.

"You guys eat first," Qingzi said to Kumanli Golden Deer with a wink, "I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you two."

After saying that, Qingzi left her seat with the food tray.
