Magic!

(This story takes place between Volume 1 and Volume 2)

"That is to say, Russell, the first time you came into contact with extraordinary power and completed your spiritual awakening was when you followed the guidance of a magic book bought on Taobao and performed a ritual to summon demons.

"The occult knowledge in the book is wrong, but you changed the details of the ritual, changed the wrong into right, and actually summoned the devil!

"The sacrifice you chose to offer to the devil of the abyss was 0.1 grams of subcutaneous fat.

"Why would you, Russell, sacrifice something like this?"

One day in January, second grade, in the boys’ dormitory.

Subway was very interested in chatting with Russell about his experiences before entering school.

Now that winter has arrived, a deep chill is permeating the dormitory building, and gusts of cold wind blow by from time to time, adding a bit of coolness to the bustling boys' dormitory.

The wind chimes, which have always been popular with Subway and serve as air conditioners, have also been relegated to the sidelines.

In front of Subway, Russell was sitting on the seat with his eyes slightly squinted.

After listening to Subway finish asking the question, he slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a light flashing in his eyes.

In an instant, surging spiritual energy erupted from Russell's body, and a whirlwind was set off in the entire dormitory. Even students in other dormitories on this floor shivered suddenly. Russell's life energy aura is more powerful than before, and his perception has also improved to a higher level. Every trace of dust in the air is clearly visible.

"It took about 5 months, and I was finally promoted to the third grade! This promotion speed is much slower than expected. I don't know when I will truly become a strong third grader."

Russell took a long breath and slowly calmed down the surging spirituality in his soul.

"Russell Russell, why did you sacrifice your fat then? Couldn't you just cut a few hairs or nails and be done with it?"

Subway completely ignored Russell's words and jumped up and down in front of him, dancing.

"What I was thinking at the time was that sacrificing fat might be used to lose weight." Russell stood up from the chair, felt the more flexible joints of his hands and feet after his promotion, and replied calmly.

"Do you still need to lose weight?" Subway frowned slightly, squinted his eyes, and looked up and down at Russell, who was thin and had slender waist and shoulders.

"It's not necessary at the moment, it's just an attempt." Russell looked at his hands and moved his knuckles and said, "If it succeeds, sacrificing to the devil can be used as a new way to lose weight."

"Sounds good. I really envy you talented mutants. Relying on 'I Xunsi', you can transform supernatural powers at will." Subway sighed and grabbed Russell again:

"Then can you try this ritual again? If this ritual can be popularized, this new way of losing weight can be promoted to the school hospital! Well, you can also try sacrificing other things."

Russell lowered his head slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

Because the demon summoning ritual from the magic book had multiple flaws, Russell has never used it again. However, after a whole school year of study, Russell has mastered a wealth of occult and ritual knowledge, plus the popular science of the Red Order of Chaos. With extensive knowledge of demonology, further improvements to the ritual were not a problem.

Before performing the ceremony, Russell turned on his computer and made a report on the college's official website.

After reporting in advance, this is a reasonable and legal demon summoning ceremony and will not be regarded as illegal entry.

At noon that day, in the open space outside the dormitory building.

Russell and Subway dipped their hot fries in ketchup, their mouths full of scarlet red, while chanting weird incantations and trying to tweak and improve the ritual of summoning demons.

…

"Mortal, was it you who knocked on the door of the abyss, called my name, and allowed me to come to this world?"

In the open space behind the boys' dormitory building, a terrifying demon standing on two legs, with blue flames burning all over its body, appeared in front of the ritual circle.

"Okay, let's change to the next one." Subway put another fries into his mouth.

"Okay, I'm done with this summons." Russell whispered a syllable.

This is the curse to end the summons, the safe word he added after improving the ritual!

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, don't send me back yet. There must be a reason why you summoned me. You want to sign a devil's contract with me, right? You must sign a devil's contract with me!

"Wait a minute. It took a lot of effort for me to be summoned once. This is the first time I have been summoned in this century. If you have any requirements, just say it. I will give you a very fair price. First of all, Don't……"

boom!

Accompanied by an explosion of flames and a loud noise, the demon disappeared in place, and the unfinished words became smaller and smaller in the air until they were no longer audible.

Like the previous 27 experiments, Russell ended the summons just before the devil arrived.

Anyway, the main purpose is to try out which things can be used for sacrifice. As for the summoned demon itself, they don't care!

"Then let's start the next summoning test. What will be the sacrifice this time?"

Russell picked up a piece of paper and looked at the densely packed list of items that had been tested and used for sacrifice:

"This time I'll try sacrificing age spots."

Russell looked at Subway's face.

Subway also looked at Russell's face.

"It looks like neither of us has any sacrifices for this sacrifice."

Just then, they saw the old man passing by. The white-haired old mage supported his staff and moved forward slowly.

"Old man, please come over here. I need your help with something."

Russell waved to the old man.

…

After repeated experiments, Russell completed the improvement and adjustment of the sacrificial ceremony and brought Subway to the school hospital, hoping to bring advanced experience to the school hospital.

Today, the school hospital is still peaceful.

The pharmacist is in charge of mixing mistletoe and mandrake in the pharmacy. In the emergency room next door, the school doctor in the emergency department is using the magic trick to treat a student with mental problems. In the hall, a school doctor is using a cinnabar stick to treat the patient. The talisman is written on the cloth.

As expected of the school hospital, sometimes I doubt that I am relatively normal, but the college's hospital hospital is the one with magical mutants... Russell couldn't help but think divergently.

Of course, he knew very well that the school hospital used normal occult treatment methods.

Russell and Subway walked into the hall and saw a girl with many acne on her face sitting on the waiting chair, talking to the school nurse Charlie:

"When will the boyfriend the school hospital sent me arrive?"

Russell was a little puzzled, walked up and asked:

"Does the campus hospital still have the function of allocating boyfriends?"

When the school nurse Charlie saw Russell coming, she put her hands on her hips and proudly introduced:

“This is the latest treatment method developed by our school hospital!

“Many students have reported that the Fu Shui medicine prescribed by the school hospital is too bitter and unpleasant to drink, and the Fu Shui infusion is painful, so the school hospital has been studying improved methods.

"Australian Aboriginals believe that if you want to ensure that an injured person's wound heals, you need to smear the injured person's loved ones with oil.

"We have gained mystical inspiration from it. When students get sick in the future, they do not have to take medicine or get injections."

Subway seemed to understand a little bit, but did he understand everything, and then asked:

"What to do?"
