Koizumi Akako suddenly jumped away from Hanyu Kusunoki's arms.
He staggered several steps before regaining his balance.
She vigorously rubbed her lips with the back of her hand, as if they were dirty, her red pupils filled with shame, indignation, and feigned disgust.
"Who, who asked for your approval! Stop being so presumptuous! I'm just doing this for...for research! Yes, researching the awakening effect of the Witch's Kiss under extreme conditions!"
She spoke loudly and defiantly, but her words betrayed her inner weakness.
However, deep down, she couldn't help but secretly savor the taste of that kiss...
Aside from the slight pain and the smell of rust from that initial, reckless impact.
Later...it seems...it really is sweet?
It also brought with it a strange, indescribable feeling that made your heart race, your legs go weak, and your head spin...
What kind of strange constitution does this guy have?
To conceal her inner turmoil and that strange flutter in her heart, she forcibly steered the conversation back on track, looking at Yu Shengnan with a scrutinizing gaze: "Hey! What's wrong with you just now? Your reaction was so strong... You didn't actually obtain some core inheritance from that lost continent in the East, did you? Were you overcome by the sight of it?"
Yu Shengnan shook his head, his eyes returning to their usual languid state, but deep down there seemed to be a trace of unyielding melancholy: "No, I did not receive any inheritance. I have no connection with those inheritances."
Koizumi Akako was taken aback at first, then, as if she had heard the funniest joke, she snorted disdainfully and crossed her arms:
"Heh~ Fine, don't show me then. Who are you trying to fool with this lie? You stingy little thing. That continent in the East has been gone from this world for over two thousand years. Their bones have all turned to ash. Where did you come from? Are you some kind of two-thousand-year-old monster? Or are you...?"
As she was speaking, her voice suddenly stopped, and the expression on her face froze.
She suddenly recalled the vague information she had received when she first tried to divine Yuzuru's fate—all the clues, all the threads of destiny, eerily pointed to that long-lost East...
At the time, she only thought she had obtained a lost treasure or knowledge...
But if...
If it's really even more outrageous than she imagined...
The witch's expression instantly became incredibly varied, with surprise, disbelief, and absurdity flashing across her face.
She suddenly looked at Yuzuru, who simply stared at her quietly, a faint, enigmatic smile playing on his lips, neither confirming nor denying.
Could it be... could it be... that they've come back?!
The thought exploded in her mind like a thunderclap!
Yuzuru seemed to see through her thoughts and slowly spoke, breaking her fear: "They didn't come back."
He paused, a faint sense of wandering in his voice: "It's just... I accidentally wandered here. A... a traveler who has lost his homeland, more than two thousand years late."
Upon hearing this, Koizumi Akako instinctively breathed a sigh of relief, her heart pounding back down—thankfully, it wasn't the entire world returning; that would have been too terrifying for the witch.
immediately.
She felt that what Yuzuru Nana said was absolutely outrageous.
Wandering?
How did it wander from a continent that disappeared more than two thousand years ago, whose spatial coordinates are unknown, to the present day? How were the time and space differences calculated? Which time-space bus did it take?
This guy is definitely just being mysterious, not wanting to tell her the truth, and deliberately using this absurd explanation to fob her off.
"Hmph, fine, don't tell me then. But you can't even come up with a decent story. Who cares about your secrets?"
She crossed her arms, turned her head, and resumed her haughty peacock demeanor. "Let's get back to today's main topic: the magic seminar. You just demonstrated your brute force fighting style. Now, let me show you what true, exquisite, and millennia-old red magic really is!"
She decided to use her most prized magical abilities to regain her pride and confidence.
.........
Next, Koizumi Akako composed herself and began to seriously teach Hanyu Kusunoki some basic but systematic magical knowledge, from magic channeling and rune drawing to simple spell chanting.
She spoke in great detail, even a little verbose, with the pride and sense of superiority that witches possess regarding their own heritage.
However…
Yuzuru Hanyu learned... too seriously, and too quickly.
It's outrageously fast!
This is practically challenging the witch's worldview.
Koizumi Akako only gave a complete demonstration and explanation of a basic attack spell called "Crimson Feather," which requires specific hand gestures and magic flow techniques.
Yuzuru nodded thoughtfully, then stretched out his finger and casually drew a line in the air.
"Buzz—"
Several feathers, composed entirely of pure flames and shimmering with the unique luster of red magic, instantly coalesced and danced joyfully around him. The temperature was perfectly controlled, and the shape was perfect, even more stable and agile than what Koizumi Akako had cast!
Koizumi Akako: "???"
Her eyes widened and her mouth slightly open.
He had an expression that said, "I've seen a ghost in broad daylight."
Hmm, it seems the Yuzuru family really does keep a lot of ghosts.
"You...you..."
She pointed at the few fiery feathers, her fingers trembling. "How is this possible?! This is exclusive magic of the Crimson Witch clan, restricted by bloodline and inheritance! You... you only saw it once?"
She felt like all the magic she had learned over the years had gone to waste.
You still say you didn't cheat?
