"Heh, you're not trying to talk about magic, are you?"

Kaito sneered, his eyes full of skepticism. "They're just some tricks I don't yet understand."

In his mind, magic was nothing more than a magic trick with more sophisticated techniques and more powerful props.

The mysterious power that Hanyu Nanaru spoke of back then, and that of Koizumi Akako now, is nothing more than a magic trick that they haven't yet figured out.

He believed that if his father were still alive, he could have done the same.

"Stubborn to the end!"

Koizumi Akako shook her head helplessly; she knew there was no way to change Kaito's mindset.

Just like the magic mirror said, she couldn't conquer Phantom Thief Kid.

She waved her hand, and the invisible force disappeared, causing Kaito to collapse to the ground.

"Take this, it might save your life in a critical moment."

Koizumi Akako tossed a palm-sized talisman, which arced through the air and landed precisely in front of Kaito.

This was her real purpose in coming here. She planned to use Kuroba Kaito to test Hanyu Nan, who was very likely to be like her.

Koizumi Akako was making her own plans, her beautiful face appearing somewhat somber at that moment.

As for whether Kuroba Kaito will anger the other party because of this, that's none of her business.

She only ever cared about her own goals; the safety of others was never a consideration for her.

When the magic mirror revealed that there was more than one man in the world she couldn't conquer, Koizumi Akako's attention to Kaito noticeably decreased.

Kaito's status in her heart instantly changed from special to ordinary.

Only unique people or things are special.

Now, it's clear that the mysterious Yuzuru Hanyu is more special.

Koizumi Akako said no more and turned to leave, leaving Kaito standing there, still disbelieving but inexplicably feeling a little irritated.

"That crazy woman..."

Kaito leaned against the wall and stood up, cursing as he looked at the talisman in his hand, which he couldn't tell was made from some kind of animal skull. He instinctively wanted to throw it away.

But after thinking about it, I put it away anyway.

"I'd like to see how you're going to save my life..."

...

Deep in the remote mountains surrounding Ekoda, there stands a large, somewhat gloomy castle.

The castle stands out in the mountains and forests, completely out of place with the surrounding world, exuding a mysterious atmosphere that sends chills down your spine.

This is the home of Koizumi Akako, the rightful heir to the Red Magic.

"Whoosh~"

A sharp sound, like a fighter jet speeding by, suddenly rang out in the silent forest, shattering the tranquility.

With a cold expression, Koizumi Akako descended from the sky on her magic broom and landed in front of the castle.

"Snap!"

The castle's heavy gates opened automatically, and Koizumi Akako walked in expressionlessly, carrying her schoolbag and broom.

The moment she stepped into the living room, her original school uniform gradually faded away, as if swallowed by an invisible mist, and in an instant, she was transformed into a sexy red and black witch outfit.

The vibrant red and mysterious black intertwine, exuding a captivating yet dangerous aura.

The dark red cloak behind her fluttered naturally, as if it were alive, dancing with her movements.

The black high heels clicked crisply and rhythmically on the hard living room floor.

"Miss Hongzi, you're back from school."

A servant or butler with a slightly odd appearance, always hunched over, appeared silently behind Koizumi Akako.

"Prepare the magic materials for me; I might need them in the next couple of days."

As she coldly gave her orders, Koizumi Akako casually tossed her schoolbag and broom behind her without even turning her head.

"Yes, sir!"

The servants and butlers steadily took the schoolbag and broom with both hands, and respectfully withdrew.

Koizumi Akako walked down the winding staircase. Dim oil lamps hung on the walls on both sides of the staircase, and the flickering light made her shadow appear longer and shorter.

Finally, she arrived at the witch's workshop located at the very bottom of the castle.

Pushing open the door and stepping inside, a huge cauldron filled with an unknown green liquid was placed in the center of the room, and it was still bubbling.

The green liquid churned and emitted a pungent odor that instilled a sense of inexplicable fear.

On the roof beam, several black crows turned their blood-red eyes, staring intently at what lay below.

They occasionally let out a few hoarse cries, adding a touch of eeriness and horror to the room.

Koizumi Akako picked up a well-worn book from the bookshelf, its cover exuding a strong historical atmosphere, and headed straight for her desk.

The desk was piled with a jumble of random items, including magical gems of various shapes, ancient parchment scrolls, and a faintly glowing crystal ball.

Koizumi Akako, who was placing the book on the table and preparing to open it, suddenly remembered something, stopped what she was doing, and looked at the magic mirror that had just been repaired.

She had previously punched the magic mirror in anger because the mirror said there were men in the world that Koizumi Akako couldn't conquer.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most charming person in the world?"

Koizumi Akako put down her book, finished reciting the incantation, and looked expectantly at the mirror, waiting for the answer.

A blurry figure slowly emerged in the mirror, and a sharp voice rang out at the same time.

"Of course, that's it..."

"Hahahaha!!!" Before the Magic Mirror could finish speaking, Koizumi Akako covered her mouth and let out a series of demonic laughs.

She could already tell from the gradually clearer outline that the figure that was not yet fully revealed was herself.

However, at that moment, the mirror suddenly flashed, and the figure that was about to become clear vanished without a trace.

Next, a boy appears, standing on the edge of a building, quietly looking down at the city hall below.

His black suit fluttered slightly in the night wind, surrounded by a thick fog of blood, like a hazy veil, adding to his eerie and dangerous aura.

Behind him stood two men in black, one tall and one fat, bowing respectfully, seemingly filled with awe for the boy before him.

The magic mirror then finished speaking.

"Of course, it's Mr. Hanyu Kusunoki, who can conquer all women with his charm, including you, Lady Akako!"

"Click~"

Having completed its mission, the magic mirror was once again shattered into pieces by the enraged Koizumi Akako.

Scattered fragments reflected her furious expression.

"What do you mean I can be conquered too!"

Koizumi Akako was so angry that her face turned red. She stomped her feet and shouted, "It's that Yuzuru Hanyu again! How dare he steal my top spot on the charm ranking! It's unforgivable!"

She's always been the one conquering others; when has it ever been her turn to be conquered?
