I'm really not a top magician

P.S.: I was out most of the day and had stomach cramps midway through. The pain was so severe I didn't eat much. I'm feeling a bit better now. Sorry for the late update.

ps: In a few days, I will start school, and then I will rearrange the update time according to the class schedule.

Chapter 95 I heard you are very good at assassination!

"Good evening, Mr. Carlos!"

Sajo Aika walked up and said hello.

Although the other party was the opponent he would fight tomorrow, Sajo Aika didn't care too much about it.

Speaking objectively, according to the competition system, fighting between the two sides is a very common thing and it is not a big deal.

But this is not a competition now, so it’s not impossible for opponents to meet and greet each other before the game.

And it seems that Mr. Carlos has been squatting here for a long time, maybe he has seen Lisa.

Carlos Carter was startled when he saw Aika Satiao coming over to greet him. He looked up and saw the confident smile on her face. He felt as if his life was about to end.

"Hello, hello, Miss S...Sajyo!"

When Carlos Carter ran into Shatiao Aige, he was about to run away, but he found that his feet had been firmly entangled by Shatiao Aige's shadow. He even felt that if he dared to move,

I will definitely die.

Carlos Carter almost collapsed to the ground, and his voice began to tremble uncontrollably.

He was an assassin before, and he seemed determined to assassinate Aika Sajo.

But in the blink of an eye, the assassination failed and he was caught by Aika Sajo. For a moment, he felt a deep sense of despair.

If Aika Sajo was completely unaware of what had just happened and happened to run into him, Carlos Carter would secretly congratulate himself on his good luck, and then quickly run away in shame to save his life.

However, considering the sudden and strange strong wind just now, and Sajo Aika's specialty is weather magic that manipulates the weather, he had originally hoped to survive, but now that Sajo Aika had caught him red-handed, and seeing the wicked smile on her face, his hope was completely gone.

"Excuse me, what were you looking at here just now?" Sajo Aika tried her best to put a smile on her face.

My sudden appearance just now really scared Mr. Carlos who was concentrating. He wanted to ask about Lisa, but thinking that his slightly reckless behavior just now might make the other party dissatisfied, Sajo Aika had to ask about the other party's situation in a tactful way to narrow the distance.

Hearing this, Carlos' heart sank. If he hadn't been masked, his facial expression would have been absolutely amazing.

There are two types of hunters.

The first type hopes to avoid being discovered by the prey, complete the task perfectly, and gain pleasure from it.

There is another type that likes to show off its strength and seek pleasure from the struggle of its prey.

Carlos Carter judged that Aika Sajo was definitely the latter. As for why he was so sure, it was because he was also one of them.

Therefore, Carlos Carter is very aware of his own peculiar hunting habit, and therefore also understands this type of people.

What Shatiao Aige did is like a teacher catching a naughty student playing games in class. If it is the latter type of person,

Not only would they not expose the matter directly, but they would use various means of pressure to make the students confess the bad things they had done.

Because this method can make students feel the greatest guilt, and then destroy them mentally.

This is what Aika Sajo asked.

Carlos Carter has only two choices.

First, he could directly tell the truth or lie, but doing so would only cause more pressure from Sajo Aika, and in the end, his spirit might be tortured to death by this demon.

Another option was to simply flee. However, after directly comparing the strength gap between the two sides, Carlos felt a deep sense of despair.

No matter which one you choose, at this point, it seems that the only option is death!

Carlos began to regret why he had the idea of getting rid of Aika Sajo?

Why was I so naive to think that I could solve the problem of Aika Satiao?

Why am I so stupid?

why?

Carlos, in despair, didn't know what to say. His brain seemed to have completely stopped working.

He looked at Aika Sajo's devilish smile and trembled all over.

"Excuse me, what were you doing here, Mr. Carlos?"

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Sajo Aika repeated the question.

Carlos stared at the devil-like woman with wide eyes.

Say it quickly!

talk!

Damn it, Carlos found that his throat seemed to be stuck and he couldn't say anything.

I was so scared that I couldn't speak.

Aika Sajo looked at Carlos Carter, whose face was filled with panic, and felt strange for a moment. He had just walked up to him and said hello, but why did the latter look like he wanted to eat him? Did he look so scary?

That's not right. She is in the Clock Tower and ranked first in "The Woman Most Wanted to Be Embraced". Sajo Aika is quite confident about her appearance.

The only regret is the tablet...

Sajo Aika shook her head and returned to the previous topic.

She always felt... as if something was wrong?

Masked, panicked when disturbed, and a habit of moving alone in secret.

Isn’t this the typical behavior of a group of otakus who are not good at socializing?

This masked uncle is probably used to being alone, so when a stranger comes to greet him, he inevitably looks helpless and frightened... I guess.

Ha, hahahahaha.

And Carlos was hiding in the bushes just now, perhaps it was his habit to avoid outsiders. It can be seen that this masked man seems to have a serious mental problem.

Hmm... that explains it all.

What Mr. Carlos meant was that he was not good at socializing, so when he asked a question, he couldn't organize the appropriate words for a while.

I see……

Aika Satiao nodded, and before Carlos Carter could say anything, she spoke first:

"In that case, I completely understand."

Carlos Carter was startled.

Why did Sajo Aika suddenly change the subject? Was it because my performance just now did not meet her expectations, making her even more dissatisfied?

For a hunter like this, if the prey does not follow her wishes and acts recklessly, she will definitely kill it!

On the other hand, the fact that he was still alive meant that Aika Sajo was still planning to give him a chance to live. As long as he cooperated with her, he would not be killed!

Thinking of this, the fear on Carlos Carter's face melted away, and he tried his best to put on a smile.

Seeing this, Shatiao Aige suddenly felt that his previous guess was indeed correct.

Mr. Carlos is probably not good at socializing. If I ask too many questions, the other person will easily be at a loss.

Thinking of this, Sajo Aika asked in astonishment:

"Mr. Carlos, I heard you're great at assassination!"

ps: The chapter number is wrong, please refresh the directory

Chapter 96 Unspeakable Fear

In her previous life, Aika Sajo was a love master. She also communicated with various classmates in school and mastered a lot of observation and some simple communication skills.

People like Carlos Carter who are not sociable by nature can actually be divided into two types.

The first type is the one who is very resistant to interacting with outsiders by nature. This type of person is like a hedgehog with thorns all over its head and body, and is fully armed.

Another type of communication barrier is simply due to poor language skills or shy personality. For such people, Sajo Aika's strategy is to try to start with topics that interest them and get them to open up.

When talking about topics that interest them, classmates will also start to complain and talk more. This is when Sajo Aika will instill toxic chicken soup and quickly narrow the distance between the two sides.

Of course, this technique is not a panacea.

For example, if you are facing someone who is very wary of strangers, it will be difficult to communicate using this method.

However, Aika Satiao thinks she is very experienced.

She was also confident that she could get the other person to start talking.

Based on her previous judgment, Aika Sajo felt that Carlos Carter was the second type of person, so after confirming it, she began to ask:

"Mr. Carlos, I heard you're great at assassination!"

Hearing this, Carlos Carter's body, which had just relaxed, tensed up again. He raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him with a devilish smile.

As expected, we still have to take the blame lightly...

But at this time, Carlos Carter had no right to refuse, and there was not even any room for resistance.

Rather, it was precisely because Aika Sajo was the kind of hunter who constantly tortured his opponents for pleasure that Carlos Carter believed that he still had a slight chance of survival.

Only by catering to the other party's wishes can he have a chance to survive. Thinking of this, perhaps because he had regained hope of life, Carlos Carter felt that his throat was not as stiff as before, so he nodded and said softly:

"After all, it's a family craft, so it's acceptable."

Carlos Carter answered honestly. This was certainly not his modesty, because this was the actual situation.

Because compared to the famous assassins in the world today, Carlos Carter's only characteristic is his family's special poison.

And if we compare him with the great leaders of the most famous assassin sects in history, his little trick is simply a blasphemy to the profession of assassin.

So when Aika Sajo asked about his own strength, he was very honest.

"But I think tomorrow's game will be a tough one."

Said Sajo Aika.

Although she had never witnessed the other party's assassination talent, according to Luna's intelligence, his strength was far inferior to that of the famous assassins in the industry. In Luna's words, his talent was average.

However, people like him who can clearly see their own strength are more valuable.

However, in order to narrow the gap, Sajo Aika described tomorrow's battle as a fierce one.

It does not mean that I will win completely, nor does it mean that the latter will lose.

Instead, let's define tomorrow's game in broader terms - it will be difficult for Carlos Carter to beat himself.

This is also a common technique used by scammers, charlatans, etc., which is to maintain a sense of ambiguity when speaking, leaving room for both themselves and the other party to maneuver and retreat.

However, after hearing what Sha Tiao Aige said, Carlos Carter was stunned.

Tomorrow will be a tough battle.

The literal meaning is: It will be difficult for Sajo Aika to win tomorrow.

But this is only the first layer.

After all, with Aika Sajo's strength, if it was a head-on battle, she could easily win by just taking out the sword of Guaiyuan that she used against Richard last time, and there would be no need to use the word "fierce battle" at all.

Think deeply,

Tough fight = Aika Sajo will have a hard time winning

For Aika Sajo, this is just a card that exposes herself, so it can also be interpreted as not wanting to fight this battle.

In other words, does Sajo Aika hope that she can surrender voluntarily, allowing her to win directly and thus reduce the exposure of her trump card?

As for why it was not stated explicitly, but was expressed in such an obscure way,

In fact, Carlos could figure it out immediately.

This is just like the boss in many companies greeting his subordinates: "Thank you for your hard work."

This is actually the boss taking the opportunity to test the employee's work situation.

Because questioning someone in person not only makes it easy to damage your image, but also leaves room for leaks.

That's why Sajo Aika used this method to test herself.

The purpose is also to test my own ideas.

If you answer incorrectly, death will await you.

If you answer correctly, you will survive.
