Although she was so embarrassed and annoyed that she wanted to smash Hanyu Nan's phone with her wand right away, Ai could only temporarily accept her new identity as a "magical girl".
After all, the novel power flowing through the wand and the body was undeniable.
This was too tempting for a scientist.
Shame can wait, for now, when faced with an unknown power system!
The little girl glared angrily at the three "professional team" behind her, who were holding various filming equipment.
Especially the culprit with the most infuriating smile, whose mouth was practically stretched to his ears, tried his best to suppress the embarrassment of "social death" and focused all his attention on the sealing staff in his hand.
"I'll go test it in the backyard."
She left those words behind, clutched her wand, and walked awkwardly toward the backyard.
The main issue is that I'm not psychologically comfortable with this outfit.
Yuzuru, Akemi, and Junhui immediately followed suit, each of them now carrying a recording device—Yuzuru's cell phone, Akemi's DV camera (which she pulled out from somewhere), and Junhui even had a rather professional-looking digital camera.
It's practically a professional idol documentation team, and a top-notch one at that.
We arrived at the spacious backyard.
Ai looked around to make sure there were no innocent bystanders, then awkwardly tried to wave her wand, feeling the seemingly spontaneous power it contained.
Yuzuru reminded him from the side, "Try to communicate with it more deeply, you might make some unexpected discoveries, such as... a bonus newbie gift pack or something? I heard that opening boxes for magical items is popular now."
Xiao Ai was skeptical.
But I still closed my eyes, concentrated, and tried to connect with the seemingly living magic wand in my hand using my mind—it felt a bit like connecting to an unknown Wi-Fi signal, which required a password and protocol.
Sure enough, the next second, it seemed to respond to her call.
A pink card with mysterious patterns drawn on its edges slowly flew out from the beak at the top of the wand and hovered in front of her.
Above the card is a clear and ancient character – “Wind”.
At the center of the card is an image of a woman whose features are obscured, whose figure is ethereal, whose arms are elegantly clasped, and who is surrounded by a swirling current of energy and a gentle breeze, exuding an indescribable sense of freedom and grace.
【THE WINDY】(Wind)
One of the four basic elemental cards in Tarot.
It possesses the powerful magic to manipulate airflow and ride the gale.
Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth – the four elemental cards.
The Fire card represents action, passion, and destructive creativity.
The water card represents the flow of emotions, intuition, and interpersonal relationships.
Tupai focuses on the accumulation of material, reality, and stability.
And the Wind Card—it's practically tailor-made for Ai Haibara.
It represents thinking, rationality, communication, wisdom, and insight... perfectly matching her scientist nature.
"Tsk, the system's matching accuracy is pretty high."
Yuzuru stroked his chin and murmured.
Indeed, no one embodies the characteristics of "wind" better than Shiho Miyano, a scientist with exceptional intelligence and a strong sense of rationality.
Of course, after becoming Ai, this rationality is often driven away by some unscrupulous guy.
Hanyu Nanami briefly explained the characteristics of the Wind Card to Ai.
Ai played with the uniquely textured Clow Card in her hand, her icy blue eyes flashing with the sharp light characteristic of a scientist encountering a new challenge.
She pondered for a moment, then immediately grasped the key point, looking up at Yuzuru: "Only this one? This was made according to the Tarot card system, right? Where are the other cards? Besides the four elemental cards, there should be a Major Arcana and other minor arcana, right?"
This keen ability to grasp key points and logical reasoning...
Yu Sheng Nan touched his nose: "Well... so far I've only opened this one from the newbie gift pack. The others... well, the crafting process is quite complicated and the materials are hard to find. I'm still working on 'research and development' and it will take some time."
—The system was stingy and only gave him one, so there was nothing he could do. He could only hope for a stroke of luck during the random enhancement later.
"System, give it your all! Not being able to collect a complete set of Clow Cards really affects the prestige of this god when issuing trial cards."
He was screaming internally.
system:"……"
Cambridge is silent tonight.
Ai glanced at Yuzuru suspiciously, feeling that his tone was a bit weak, but now was clearly not the time to delve into it; researching the new power was a higher priority.
She gently pressed the Wind Token onto the Sealing Staff, and with a thought—
"wind!"
Suddenly, a strong wind swept through the backyard!
A powerful gust of wind whipped up fallen leaves, causing Ai's short, brown hair to dance wildly and her puffy skirt to flutter in the wind. Yet, her petite frame remained as steady as a rock in the wind, as if she were one with it.
She was enjoying the wonderful feeling of controlling the airflow.
This is something that science cannot currently provide for her.
While thinking, Ai Haibara's gaze fell on the trio who were still taking pictures of her from all angles, especially Nanami Hanyu's smug smile and the phone that was waving around, filled with her "embarrassing history".
A thought suddenly arose in the mind of the proud and aloof loli.
She manipulated the wind, and with a slight thought, suddenly swept it towards the cherry blossom grove next to her, which was in full bloom and in full splendor!
call--!
The pink and white cherry blossoms were swept up by the gale, as if commanded by an invisible hand, and quickly gathered and swirled in front of her, forming a lifelike pink dragon made entirely of cherry blossoms in the blink of an eye!
The cherry blossom dragon let out a silent yet powerful roar, and with overwhelming force and a shower of petals, it swooped down towards Hanyu Nan and his companions.
The target is Hanyu Nan's phone!
It's obvious they want to take advantage of the chaos to reclaim evidence of their "dark history" and, incidentally, give someone a petal bath.
Faced with this sudden attack, which could be described as a "romantic version of a tornado," Yuzuru Hanyu still cheerfully held up his phone and continued filming, commenting, "Oh wow, this move is cool, the special effects are maxed out, worth recording..."
Just as the cherry blossom dragon was about to crash into the three of them, and it seemed like a scene of "a shower of cherry blossoms covering their faces" was about to unfold—
Shimabukuro Kimie, who had been standing quietly to the side, smiled slightly, took half a step forward, put her hands together gently in front of her chest, closed her eyes slightly, and murmured a short prayer.
A soft yet resilient white halo instantly unfolded, like an inverted bowl, steadily protecting the three of them within.
As stable as a rock.
Bang!
The cherry blossom dragon crashed into the light barrier and instantly disintegrated, transforming back into countless soft petals. Like a sudden cherry blossom rain, it slid down from both sides of the light barrier, but not a single petal could penetrate the seemingly thin protective layer.
