Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

"You better shut your trap! Watch and learn!"

Chu Bai pushed Sasa's head down.

Then, he turned back to the old man with a smile:

"Grandpa, could you tell me the specific details of the case?"

Old Fujita swallowed hard, still shaken.

After confirming that Chu Bai wouldn't start hacking at him, he gave up the idea of calling the self-defense force:

"Here's what happened: I planted a batch of precious mushrooms in the backyard."

"But two nights ago, a thief suddenly stole all of them."

He coughed twice, saying tremulously:

"Because it was too dark, and my eyes aren't so good, I couldn't see the thief clearly."

"I only remember that the thief was a girl under 20, with blonde hair and a pretty face, wearing black and white clothes, a witch's pointed hat, a daze verbal tic, holding a mini Bagua Furnace made of scarlet metal, and used the magic sign 'Illusion Star' to blind me..."

"????"

Marisa couldn't hold back:

"So you're the reincarnation of the Monkey King! Those fiery golden eyes are really outrageous!"

Seeing Chu Bai turn his dark gaze toward her, she quickly tried to salvage the situation:

"Wait, Chu Bai, let me explain!"

Chu Bai said coldly:

"Go on, I'm listening to your next fabrication."

Marisa gave a thumbs up:

"Actually, I didn't use the magic sign 'Illusion Star' at the time, but the magic sign 'Star Illusion.' These two spell cards are completely different..."

"Who asked you to explain that! You're completely missing the point!"

Without another word, Chu Bai elbowed her.

Accompanied by dramatic sound effects, Marisa fell straight to the ground, unable to get up again.

"Alright, the case is solved."

Chu Bai smiled at old Fujita:

"This is the business card for Detective Chu Bai's Everything Shop. Remember to come to me next time you have trouble."

With that, he prepared to leave.

Only Marisa wailed from behind:

"Chu Bai, I was wrong, don't leave me here alone!"

"Wait, this old man has already called the self-defense force... Fine, fine, I'll pay, I'll pay for it, okay!"

...

...

Bitterly paying for the mushrooms.

Marisa limped along beside Chu Bai, saying helplessly:

"You said I could earn some extra money, but instead of earning anything, I lost a lot."

Chu Bai snorted:

"I told you, even if you want to rob someone in the future, you have to do it under the name of the Underground Shrine."

"And I saw you drawing your knife as soon as you opened the door. You definitely wanted to threaten old Fujita to shut up, right?"

"Hehe, Chu Bai is so smart..."

Marisa chuckled, pressing down on her hat.

Chu Bai sighed helplessly, patting her head:

"Forget it, I won't pursue it this time."

"You should understand the basic process of the business by now. Do you have any other questions?"

"Yes, yes."

Marisa's eyes lit up:

"Why don't I just stay at your house tonight..."

"Huh?"

Chu Bai had just become alert when he heard Marisa continue:

"Stay at your house and discuss magical knowledge with you."

"Oh, oh."

Chu Bai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Sasa was going to suddenly confess like Xiao Ai.

Then Marisa continued: "And then we'll take off our clothes..."

Chu Bai: "Huh?"

Marisa: "Take off our clothes and take a good bath to wash away the fatigue of the day."

Chu Bai: "Oh, oh."

Marisa: "Finally, we must be mouth to mouth..."

Chu Bai: "Huh?"

Marisa: "Mouth to mouth to impart the mysteries of magic to me."

Chu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly:

"...Are you doing this on purpose? You're definitely doing this on purpose, right?"

"Especially the last point, it's too far-fetched!"

Marisa grinned:

"After all, it's the benefit you mentioned, I definitely have to seize it."

"Okay, okay..."

Chu Bai thought to himself, imparting magic at any time was indeed the benefit he had promised.

Oh well, there haven't been any important high-value commissions lately.

I'll just perk up tonight and impart some rich knowledge to Marisa.

After all, she's nominally my second disciple.

...

...

"Then, Teacher Chu Bai's little class officially begins."

"Before we begin, I must first popularize some settings for you."

Night fell.

Chu Bai put on his non-prescription glasses and pointed to the blackboard with a stick.

This is the first time in such a long span, from the first chapter to the one hundred and sixty-sixth chapter, that the concepts and settings related to magic in this book are introduced.

If this were in a novel, readers would probably be lost by the mysterious settings and cryptic communication.

Chu Bai coughed lightly and said slowly:

"Sasa, do you know the formal magic level stratification?"

Marisa thought for a moment:

"I know, isn't it just Lower Ninja level, Middle Ninja level, Upper Ninja level..."

"Wrong series!"

Chu Bai quickly interrupted:

"The real magic classification, from low to high, is 'Normal Magic,' 'Upper Magic,' and 'Super Magic.'"

"Although there are all kinds of magic, according to their respective comprehensive properties, the external Magic Association has uniformly made such a level division."

Marisa twiddled her fingers and calculated, then said in surprise:

"Super Magic is already the highest level?"

"Then you're actually quite powerful? Not only can you use Super Magic, but you can even cast it instantly?"

"Of course!"

Mentioning his past achievements, Chu Bai raised his head slightly:

"Normal Magic is not worth mentioning. Any spells involving the supernatural realm can be classified into this level."

"Upper Magic is usually a spell that is fused with multiple elements, or a single element but with great power."

"Under normal circumstances, a magician who has transformed their race can basically master this level of spell."

After a pause, he continued:

"And Super Magic, there are only twenty-four types recorded in the world."

"Each Super Magic has an almost heaven-defying power, like changing the terrain is as easy as sprinkling water."

Marisa asked curiously:

"Then how many Super Magics have you mastered?"

This question hit the excitement point.

Chu Bai raised his head even higher:

"This humble one was able to fully release Super Magic at the age of 10, had mastered all recorded Super Magic by the age of 16, and at the age of 20, realized the Super-level instant cast technique, able to instantly cast Super Magic."

"In a one-on-one duel, no one outside of my master is my opponent, even the old president of the Magic Association has been beaten up by me."

"Don't underestimate the gold content of the title of genius magician."

Seeing his smug look.

Marisa couldn't help but question:

"But in my opinion, the destructive power of Super Magic seems to be very average?"

"After all, you've released it so many times, but it doesn't seem to have changed the terrain much?"

Chu Bai explained patiently:

"That's because I'm cooperating with Reimu. After all, Reimu promoted the Spell Card Rules."

"The original intention of this set of rules is to control the destructive power of combat and reduce the impact caused by fighting."

"So since recovering my strength, I have been casting spells instantly every time."

"Instant casting that abandons chanting can respond quickly, but the price is that the power drops by one level. That's why you think the power is not strong, because I haven't seriously chanted."

He looked at Marisa and said:

"By the way, Sasa, your signature skill 'Final Spark,' if it is the original version of the skill without the Spell Card restraint, and the magic output is increased, it can also touch the threshold of Super Magic."

"Under my guidance, it is possible to truly reach the Super level?"

"Yay!"

The pie drawn casually immediately made Marisa excited.

Although after really breaking through the level, it will definitely need to reduce the power to make a Spell Card.

But this does not prevent her from understanding the real Super Magic and becoming a genuine great magician.

Chu Bai tapped the blackboard and continued to explain:
