My fiancée Yukino

She's clearly a very smart girl, but she's just too lazy to take things seriously. She's really too lazy, it's not like she's being asked to study some world-class mathematical problems.

It's only because Kivi's family is well-off and their expectations of her are relatively lenient that Kivi could live such an easy life.

Even if they don't spend all their holidays attending after-school tutoring classes, their private tutors at home will definitely be fully booked.

After making the arrangement with the two girls, Luo Bai asked them to go to the sofa while he continued to teach Xiao Limao her homework.

After dinner, Chris was driven home by Sera, while Maitina and Kivi stayed behind to watch the TV program that Hoshino Ai was appearing on that evening.

At 7:30 p.m., the live broadcast officially began amidst everyone's anticipation.

Yesterday's first episode mainly focused on the Boros incident, while today's episode will focus on various special ability incidents happening all over the world, and we've also invited several people with special abilities to demonstrate them on-site.

Putting everything else aside, the program's content arrangement is indeed quite good. It covers many events from around the world that Luo Bai has never seen before, and he doesn't know how the program team collected these information.

While everyone was watching TV, Luo Bai also received a text message from Nangong Nayue.

[The show has a segment planned where Xiao Ai will demonstrate her magic. A young singer with magic—no one else can compete in this category for now.]

Upon seeing the text message, Luo Bai raised an eyebrow in surprise.

It seems they're planning to further boost Xiao Ai's popularity.

As a singer, her popularity had already soared after the concert tour, and now that she's showcasing her magical abilities, it's sure to attract even more attention.

As for Xiao Ai's personal safety, not to mention Luo Bai's side, Xiao Ai, as Nangong Nayue's employee and artist, doesn't need to be worried.

After a brief chat with Nangong Nayue, Luo Bai told everyone about the matter.

Gudako nodded: "Hmm~~ I was going to say that anyway, if little..."

If you're going to be on TV frequently after "Love," then having magical abilities is definitely a great direction—something other singers can't replicate. I never expected it to happen today! Mai-nee, what are your plans?

"Me?" Mai tilted her head and said, "I'm an actress, which is different from being a singer. It mainly depends on whether the drama I'm in requires this kind of thing."

As everyone chatted, it was the turn of the invited superpowered individuals to demonstrate their abilities on television.

After the third person finished demonstrating and set a table on fire, it was Hoshino Ai's turn to appear.

After Hoshino Ai revealed that she possessed magic, the audience and unsuspecting guests all turned their attention to her, not to mention the numerous viewers watching on television.

Under everyone's gaze, a slender magic wand suddenly appeared in Hoshino Ai's hand.

Volume 1: Chapter 883 Hoshino Ai's Astounding Magic (1/2)

Holding her magic wand, Hoshino Ai stood before the remains of the burned table.

"Hmm, let me think. I haven't used it much since I learned it, so I hope it's okay."

Then the wand was pointed at the wreckage, and a bright light emerged from the tip of the wand, slowly enveloping the pile of wreckage.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the pile of wreckage began to change, transforming from a pitch-black heap into a different color, increasing in size, and gradually reverting to its original table shape, as if time had reversed.

In just fifteen seconds, the table that had been burned was restored to its original state.

The host was also wide-eyed and speechless.

Although the director had explained the process to the host before the show started, and that Hoshino Ai would showcase her abilities, the host never expected that her abilities would be so astonishing.

Seeing that her magic had succeeded, Hoshino Ai proudly raised her head.

"How about it? Not bad, right? This is a repair magic spell specifically designed to fix damaged items!"

"This isn't a repair, it's like time has reversed!"

The guests present all realized what was happening and then exclaimed in surprise.

This was not a pre-arranged script. Apart from the host and director, most of the people on set were not informed at all, and their reactions were all genuine.

After Ai Hoshino returned to her seat, both guests looked curiously at the staff in her hand.

With prompts from the director over the headset, the host began asking questions that the audience and the audience were curious about.

When asked about her magic, Hoshino Ai shared everything she could.

"The magic I just used did involve some time-related magic, but that's all I know. The underlying principles are beyond my comprehension. The magic I've learned is a composite magic, a fusion of magic from our own world and magic from other worlds; I've only scratched the surface of it."

The host nodded: "So, magic is something everyone can learn?"

“That’s not it,” Hoshino Ai explained. “As far as I know, first you need to have a certain talent for learning magic, then you need someone to guide you through the basics. You need to be able to sense magic power first, then improve your magic power through meditation, and then acquire some knowledge about magic power before you can start learning basic magic.”

As for the methods they used to learn basic magic, ordinary people don't have access to them, so Hoshino Ai won't go into details.

Then an actor guest next to him asked curiously, "If we want to learn, is there an opportunity?"

"Oh, that?" Hoshino Ai replied with a smile, "Not for now, but as far as I know, several schools that train superpowers and magicians are under construction! They will definitely be established within two or three years. If you want to learn magic then, you can try your luck. Unlike superpowers, there are not many age restrictions for learning magic."

Hoshino Ai's explanation was something that Nanami Nagatsuki had told her beforehand, and it was something she could talk about. It was also a way to provide some popular science and explanation to people who were interested in these unknown forces through this live broadcast.

As expected, while the live broadcast was airing, discussions about magic and superpowers on social media intensified, including a significant amount of discussion surrounding Ai Hoshino herself.

After Ai Hoshino's magic demonstration, although the subsequent program content was still well prepared, it paled in comparison to the magic that Ai Hoshino displayed.

But today's second episode has finally come to a successful end.

After the live broadcast ended, Hoshino Ai left the TV station without lingering, accompanied by staff from the Tokyo branch.

Inside the TV station lobby, several guests who were following behind had also witnessed the entire event and were discussing it in hushed tones.

"As expected, I knew the company president wasn't lying. Hoshino Ai's agency has a very unusual background; it's said to be a company under the Guardian Organization."

"I know that company isn't very big, but it has always had a lot of resources!"

"It seems like Hoshino Ai is going to become more and more famous! By the way, I heard she's very close to Sakurajima Mai?"

"I bet Sakurajima Mai knows magic too. It seems like they all have powerful people backing them. I should definitely try to build a good relationship with them if I get the chance; maybe I'll even have a chance to learn magic!"

When it comes to magic, even these celebrities who have been in the entertainment industry for several years are filled with longing for it.

Hoshino Ai paid no attention to any of this. After getting on the train, she left Tokyo and returned to Chiba.

When Hoshino Ai arrived home, Mai Tina and Kivi had already gone home.

"Everyone, I'm back!"

As soon as she entered the house, Hoshino Ai excitedly rushed into Luo Bai's arms.

"Brother Luo Bai, how was the magic I showed on TV? Pretty good, right?"

Luo Bai smiled and patted Hoshino Ai's head, praising, "Excellent, you're much more proficient than when you first mastered it."

“Hmph~~” Hoshino Ai said smugly, “I had prepared other magic, but when I saw that burned table, I decided to use this one instead.”

Mai gave him a thumbs up.

"You're really amazing. Among us, besides Yukino, you're the only one who can use this magic successfully."

As Ai Hoshino said on the show, this magic involves certain time rules, so it does require some specific talents.

Haruno walked over and put her arm around Hoshino Ai's shoulder, saying, "You really stole the show today! I bet a lot of related programs will be asking you for help!"

Ai Hoshino stuck out her tongue and said, "It gets boring after a while. I'm not a street performer or a magician. My main job is still a singer! So I told my manager that I definitely won't be participating in similar shows anymore. I'll focus on studying and preparing for my new album."

Yukino agreed, saying, "That's right. You don't make a living from magic, so this can just be something you add on as a bonus. Besides, midterms are coming up soon, so you should prepare well."

"Hehe, that's what I think too. I'll have to study hard this weekend!"

.........

After the Boros incident, the world's attention to people with special abilities, which had already declined somewhat, was once again heightened.

At the same time, perhaps because of this incident, the world's landmasses

More and more people with superpowers have awakened.

Even during the midterm exams, three students at Soubu High School awakened superpowers.

Luo Bai, who had just come out of the examination hall, also showed a surprised expression when he heard the news.

"What, could it be that the mental fluctuations caused by the excessive pressure of the exam led to its awakening?"

It has to be said, that's actually quite possible.

Volume 1: Chapter 884 Midterm Exams End (2/2)

Although there were some hiccups along the way, the midterm exams went smoothly overall.

The results came out quickly the day after the exam.

When Luo Bai arrived at school in the morning, he immediately saw his name ranked first on the academic leaderboard. As always, Yukino was second, and Sima Miori was third.

Seeing this result, Sima Weizhi, who came to school with Luo Bai and the others, tilted her head dejectedly: "What a pity, I was just five points short. I could have at least surpassed Yukino!"

As for Yukino, she's become immune to this result.

She's too lazy to compete with Luo Bai anymore; it's better for her to focus on improving herself.

In the second year of high school, unsurprisingly, the top student in the grade is still the student council president, Sheng Tianzi.

Aside from Luo Bai, who displayed immense power, and Hoshino Ai, who showcased magical abilities in a live broadcast, the most popular person in the school right now is undoubtedly this gentle student council president.

The situation was quite chaotic in the first year of high school.

The score difference between the top students in the grade was very small. Because of his bet with Luo Bai, Kivi worked very hard in this exam and ranked second in the grade.

As for being first in the grade, that title was taken by the academically gifted Sanae Dekomori, who was also a member of the student council.

Kanao ranked third in the grade, Sakura ranked fourth, and Ai ranked fifth. The difference in scores between the three was very small, only a single-digit difference.

Gudako looked at her ranking, then at Mashu, who ranked twelfth in the grade, and said dejectedly, "We always study together, so why is your score so much higher than mine, Mashu?"

Mashu smiled slightly: "It's mainly because you're too easily distracted, and even though you have time, you don't go to ask Senior Luo Bai for advice."

"No need for that," Gudako shook her head and said, "For me, ranking in the top fifty of the grade is enough."

Luo Bai glanced helplessly at Gudako, too lazy to say anything more to the girl.

However, for Gudako, her academic performance is already quite good. After all, she was saving humanity before, and she can still rank in the top 50 of her grade after returning to school, which is already very impressive.

After seeing the results, Luo Bai and the others went to their respective classrooms.

At lunchtime, Wu Tina and Kivi happily arrived at the Service Department and ate lunch with everyone.

Apart from lunch, they also successfully fulfilled their previous agreements with Luo Bai.

Kivi ranked second in the grade, and although Wu Tina's grades were not as good, she still ranked fifty-second, which was an improvement of about thirty places.

Seeing the two of them arrive so happily, Luo Bai smiled and said, "Happy now, right? Have you decided what reward you want?"

After sitting down, Kivi took out his bento box and said, "I've thought it over. I want to go to the world where Misaka Mikoto and the others originally lived. I'm very interested in that Academy City!"

Is it the world of A Certain Magical Index?

Luo Bai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find a weekend and take you out for a day."

"Great!!!"

Then, Luo Bai looked at Wu Tina: "Wu Tina, what about you? Have you made up your mind?"

Wu Tina blushed slightly, lowered her head, and said, "Um, I haven't thought about it yet."

"It's okay, take your time to think about it. This promise is valid indefinitely."

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the club room.

When I opened it, I found that Kita and Little Lonely had arrived.

"Hey everyone, let's join in the fun!"

As soon as he entered, Kita greeted everyone with a lively and cheerful demeanor.

Yukino brought chairs for the two of them and looked at them, saying, "How did you do on the exam?"

Kita nodded happily: "Yes, that's great! Although you're quite busy with work, you haven't neglected your studies!"

Little Lonely whispered, "If our fans find out we don't do well in school, things will get complicated..."

Luo Bai smiled and served soup to the two of them, then asked, "What about Hongxia and Liang? I'm not worried about Hongxia, but Liang has a history of such behavior."

Kita stuck out her tongue and said, "As always, I passed by just barely passing. It's thanks to Nijika's encouragement that I studied like crazy in the days leading up to the exam."

"Okay, I knew it."
