Please listen to the voice of black magic

Annan spent the rest of his life living a boring life of three o'clock and one line of work.

Get up in the morning and go to school, then go to the magic professor's house to learn magic after school, and then go home at night.

If you still have time and energy after returning home, then go study the black magic soul refining that you haven't mastered thoroughly until now.

Annan didn't know if he was fulfilled, but his schedule was full anyway.

In the school, because of the previous shooting incident, Annan, the student who bravely knocked the gunman unconscious, became very famous in the first few days. Not only his classmates, but also classmates from other classes came to look for him out of curiosity. He struck up a conversation.

It's a pity that Annan has a standard social phobia and doesn't know how to talk to strangers. It would only make everyone a little embarrassed. So as they kept going back and forth, the number of students who were interested in him gradually decreased, and in the end, they were all No one was seen.

Annan had no interest in being a popular figure in the school, and he didn't like being the center of the conversation. He was happy to return to his previous low-key and calm appearance as an ordinary student.

The school had talked to Annan when he was at school the day after the shooting. In addition to encouraging him with courage, he also warned him not to be so reckless next time, and then nothing happened.

For Annan who successfully subdued the gunman, the school did not give any reward, only a few words of praise.

Annan didn't mind either, and he also wanted to thank the school for not contacting his guardian unnecessarily, otherwise his uncle or sister Catherine would have known about it, and it would have been troublesome to explain.

That's it for school matters, there's nothing else worth talking about.

No one came to trouble Annan, and no accidents occurred.

"Just like Mr. Detective said, the two gangs who are still fighting each other will restrain themselves a little after the shooting. At least they will warn the lower-level members below not to act rashly. There should be no one to take care of this in the short term. I’m on the sidelines, and probably no one will notice me. Is this a good thing?”

Annan has not forgotten Mr. Detective's commission, but in this situation, if he does not take the initiative, it is probably impossible to get any information.

He wouldn't mind looking for clues if he had time, but he had to go to the magic professor after school, so he could only put aside school matters for the time being.

If you're lucky, maybe something like that short boy will come to you automatically.

"But if trouble comes to your door automatically, it should be considered bad luck, right? Probably?"

Annan is now focusing on learning magic, but there is no obvious progress.

After all, he has not learned magic for a long time, and he is not a genius. So far, he has not learned any formal magic.

He still couldn't use the magic missiles that Annan had been learning, which almost gave him the illusion that he was a magic fool.

"Magic is very idealistic. The reason for such evaluation is that even if some people become high-level magicians, they may not be able to learn the most basic magic. On the other hand, some people may just be apprentices their whole lives. , but he can use high-level magic."

Magic professor Dulan comforted Annan at the appropriate time, saying that this situation was normal and there was no need to think about it.

"Magic is sometimes like this. It varies from person to person. If you can't learn it, you just can't learn it. If you can understand it, you can master it quickly. No matter how many magic theories you have learned or how much magic knowledge you have mastered, it may not be able to help you. You learn a new magic."

Of course, mastering basic magic knowledge is still helpful for learning magic, but magic, an idealistic technology, does not have a causal inevitability.

It is possible for some people to learn profound magic even if they don't understand anything.

"Let's do this. I'll teach you one more magic. You can practice it if you have time. However, this magic is more advanced than magic missiles and is more difficult to master."

Dulan did not expect to teach Annan new magic so soon, but education always depends on the situation. It is better to distract Annan now to avoid thinking too much.

"This is a defensive magic, called 'disarming'."

Disarming, in terms of spell level, is one level higher than magic missile, and is considered a near-intermediate level magic.

"Disarming can cause the weapon in the target's hand to fall or fly out from a certain distance. It is basically one of the basic magics that all magicians can learn. Not everyone can learn it."

Annan instantly understood what kind of magic the so-called weapon disarming was.

"Isn't this a disarming spell?"

It's a pity that the magic spell is not the classic one from the previous life.

Moreover, Annan could not forcefully change the magic spell because of his own bad taste.

Curses, or spells, are very important in the magic system of this world. The spells cannot be changed casually, otherwise they will not be effective, and may even cause the magic to get out of control, with serious consequences.

Just like that, Annan's magic course had one more exercise and homework, but he was happy with it.

The main reason is that he can master disarming magic faster than magic missiles.

The magic missile didn't make much progress all the way through practice, but the new magic only took a few days to practice, and there was some progress.

"If you understand, you understand, and if you don't understand, you don't understand? You are indeed idealistic enough."

Time flies so fast, a week has passed so unconsciously.

Annan, who had been living peacefully all the way, left the usual three-point-one-line life pattern on this night and had other plans.

Annan did not go to the magic professor's house after school that day. He followed Antonio to the east side of the city.

"Annan, please wait for us here."

Antonio drove a simple new car that he had bought not long ago for convenience and parked it on the side of the road in a small, deserted park.

"I might come back very late, so you should stay here well."

"Don't worry, everything is ready. I've brought dinner."

Annan shook the paper bag containing the sandwiches in his hand.

"I also brought a few novels to read, which are enough to pass the time."

"You should pay attention to what's going on outside and be careful of accidents."

Antonio was still urging Annan after getting out of the car.

"Mr. Detective, do you think something might happen tonight? It's the godfather's birthday?" Annan couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know. I hope there won't be an accident, but who knows? The fight between the two gangs is getting more and more serious now. It wouldn't be surprising even if something happens."

Antonio looked at the time on his watch and knew it was time to set off, otherwise it would be too late.

"Anyway, just stay here and be ready to pick us up at any time. I'll see you later."
