The Magician's Urgent Duties
Shi Yu Yue Ling's eyes were full of determination, Jiang Gu Ling felt it was strange, the two stared at each other, engaging in a tacit confrontation of consciousness, whoever blinked first would lose!
"..." Fūya Ling was speechless. The pupils of the guy in the mirror were all dilated! Her consciousness was not here at all! Ignoring Shi Yu Yue Ling, Fūya Ling's eyes fell on the decoration of the house behind her.
Entering Shi Yuyueling's bedroom through the mirror, there is a study room as soon as you enter. If you stand still, her desk is right opposite you. Whenever you look for her, you can always see her on the chair behind the desk. Behind the slightly retro medieval chair is a wall without any decoration.
Fūya Rei suddenly felt strange, and the inexplicable feeling in his heart urged him to ask the question in his heart: "Why do you always sit here every time I come to see you?"
"Hmm?" Shi Yu Yue Ling couldn't pretend for long. She leaned back in her chair and thought about what Jiang Gu Ling had just said before answering, "If I'm not here, where am I?"
The silent Jōgu Rei had no expression on his face, but his eyes revealed a certain intimidating threat as he stared straight at Shi Yu Yue Ling.
Sinking completely into the chair, Shi Yu Yue Ling stared into the pair of gray-purple eyes. The irises had grown dark because of the owner's emotions, which made Shi Yu Yue Ling feel a chill on her back. She raised her hands: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you." Jōya Ling definitely realized that his face worked on her.
"It is said that the dark side is ten times stronger and the white side is three times weaker. It turns out that this also applies here." Shi Yu Yueling stood up with the help of the armrest of the chair, and stroked the white wall with her right hand. The wall instantly became transparent and disappeared from her sight. The whole process took less than two seconds.
There was a semicircular terrace behind the wall. When Shi Yuyueling walked out, the mirror on the table floated in the air and floated to the terrace with her. What came into view was a colorful back garden, a small pond, flying butterflies, and a bright sky without the sun.
And on the tree, uh, Fūya Ling opened his eyes wide to look, and found that what was flying on the tree was not a bird, but a pair of wings without a main body, jumping around on the tree, and there was more than one pair of wings.
What is this?!
"The Magician's Back Garden," Shigure Yueling introduced it to Fūya Rei. She bent slightly, resting her arm on the terrace railing, gazing out over the entire garden. It seemed bustling and vibrant, but in reality, it was completely silent. Resting her chin on one hand, the girl said wistfully, "These are all cards I haven't mastered yet. They've gathered here to achieve a delicate balance. If anyone else enters, it'll be very dangerous."
"Is this the reason why you hid it?" Jyouya Ling's suspicious gaze moved to Shiyu Yueling. Shiyu Yueling had a criminal record, and the information she took the initiative to reveal made Jyouya Ling reflexively alert, and he couldn't tell whether the information was true or false.
"Half and half." Shi Yu Yue Ling shrugged, his feet floating off the ground. Under the gaze of Jōgu Rei, his whole body shrank proportionally to the size of a fist, with a pair of small wings growing on his back.
The smaller she was, the cuter she looked. Fūya Rei stared at her intently and said unconsciously, "Why don't you be my pet?"
Shi Yuyueling, who had just shrunk, opened her eyes wide, turned her head and looked at the face of Furuya Ling in the mirror in shock, and blurted out, "What nonsense are you talking about? Can you afford to support me?"
Fūya Ling, who had been regretting his decision and trying to save face, immediately looked up when he heard her words and argued with Xiao Xiaoyu: "How can I not afford it? How do you know I can't afford it if you haven't tried?"
"Heh." The tiny figure sneered, floating in front of the mirror, arms folded as he looked critically at Rei Furuya in the mirror. "Don't brag. You might be able to support me in my miniature form, but don't forget that I'm an adult in my normal form. If I show you the expense list KK is responsible for, you'll be scared to death in a matter of minutes."
"Then you can afford to support me?" Jiang Gu Ling also sneered, his eyes flashing with anger. He got angry when he thought about the day when Shi Yu Yue Ling asked him to give up being a police officer and become her pet. She also promised to support him well. All her own money was Miss Qi Ning's. How could she afford to support him? She didn't care!
The sunny and cheerful Mr. Furuya Rei couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"KK and I, what's hers is mine. Let's spend her money together when the time comes." Shi Yuyueling said righteously. It's our good sister's money. What's hers is mine? Let's spend it unscrupulously.
"You are such a shameless person!" Jiang Gu Ling couldn't help but scold. Even if he had a good relationship with Miss Qi Ning, he couldn't always lie on others and suck their blood!
"What does it matter? KK herself doesn't care. She has so much money that she can't spend it all in her next lifetime. It's not like I don't have any income at all. The black card given by the Kasuga family is still with me, and I haven't touched it." Shi Yu Yueling did not repent or make progress. She was still self-righteous and even intensified. The little man with his arms folded made another invitation: "Would you like to reconsider and give you the black card?"
"No!" Jiang Gu Ling gritted his teeth, and the sound squeezed out from between his teeth. His purple-gray eyes flashed with ferocity. He had the urge to bite off a piece of flesh from Shi Yu Yue Ling, but he turned his eyes away angrily.
"Forget it, I'm going to sleep." The little Shi Yu Yue Ling turned around and flew towards the garden outside. When Jiang Gu Ling looked over again, her small figure had disappeared in the flowery back garden. Not seeing Shi Yu Yue Ling within the visible range of the mirror made a drop of cold sweat slide down Jiang Gu Ling's head.
The next second, the bright sky suddenly went dark, leaving only darkness in front of the mirror. Facing the back garden, nothing could be seen through the mirror. Before Fūya Rei could react, the mirror flew backwards at high speed, across the terrace, into the house, and landed in a hand. The wall that had disappeared reappeared, blocking the back garden and Shigure Yueling within it.
The hand holding the mirror turned it over, and Shi Yu Yue Ling's face fell into view. Caught off guard, Jiang Gu Ling opened his eyes wide, and then he immediately reacted and frowned fiercely, angrily: "Are you kidding me?!"
Looking at the mirror, Shi Yu Yue Ling sat back in his chair, casually placed the mirror on his left hand, and said calmly, "I am a [Mirror], not a magician."
Mirror? Rei Furuya recalled the Mirror card and looked at it warily and cautiously: "Are you that card? Why did you become her?"
"The back garden is a chaotic magic field. All the Clow Cards that have not been recovered by the magicians are crowded there. The magicians need to take time to sleep there to suppress the restless Clow Cards. At this time, I will transform into a magician and stay with her friends." [Mirror], with no expression on his face, chose a book from the bookshelf and read it quietly.
There was indeed a reason why she had been sitting in this chair. Hearing the answer from the mirror, Furuya Rei was not surprised. He immediately asked, "What would happen if she didn't sleep?"
"There's a very dangerous card there. If the magician doesn't put it to sleep, once that card goes out of control, the entire real world will be in danger." Mirror paused, looking up at the mirror. His eyes, remarkably calm, gazed at the image of Rei Furuya in the mirror. "I hope you don't mind the magician's offense. After all, her life began to count down the moment she chose to take on the duties of a magician."
What!? Furuya Rei's pupils shrank. The news made his heart skip a beat. Before his brain could react, he nervously asked, "Why?"
"Because of time." Mirror turned back to his book and calmly answered the question, "There are 54 Clow Cards in total, and the magician has only mastered five. Given the speed at which she's recovering cards, she won't be able to fully master the remaining 53 cards before that one card completely goes out of control, and she will lose in the final game."
"What will be the result?" Fūya Rei stared at the [Mirror], trying to find a way to break the impasse.
"The magician lost his life, the card went completely out of control and invaded reality, all living things disappeared from the world, human creations were devoured, the earth disappeared from the universe, the moon lost its gravitational pull, and the planets in the solar system changed and collided with each other." [Mirror] looked up at the void in front of him.
The concept of world destruction was too far-fetched for Rei Furuya to grasp, but he understood that the future described by the Mirror was not what he wanted to see, so he continued to ask, "Is there no solution?"
"Yes. One: The simplest one, where the magician grows enough to face that card and triumphs before the final outcome. But the probability is slim, as this generation of magicians is different from the previous one. Two: Give up becoming a magician, and all the Clow Cards will return to the space created by the first magician and sleep there."
"Then let her give up becoming a magician." Fūya Ling felt relieved and started thinking of ways to persuade Shi Yu Yue Ling.
"No, she can't. Being a magician is something that one cannot give up voluntarily. Being a magician is an innate talent and ability. The magic wand is already in the magician's hands. Once the process of becoming a qualified magician begins, it cannot be given up, unless the magician passively loses his life." [Mirror] turned to look at the mirror, his calm eyes piercing like a needle at Fūya Rei on the other side of the mirror, quietly warning the human opposite.
Her heart skipped a beat, and Furiya Rei's pupils shrank as she stared at the Mirror. Her voice rang out again, "And the Clow Cards will protect her and prevent her from being in danger."
"..." Furiya Zero did not respond. He thought, assuming that everything that has not happened in the future is on the same timeline, they are still in the past, but the future bomb has been installed. The future bomb cannot be dismantled in advance, and the bomb will explode the moment they arrive. There is no time to dismantle it. Isn't this a vicious circle?
"There's a third way." The voice of the Mirror Card echoed again, like a heavenly sound. Jyougu looked up, but the Mirror Card remained unmoved. It said, "There's another way to make a magician voluntarily give up their magician talent."
"Magicians become mages to stop the organization you know. If they can destroy that organization before that card gets completely out of control, they'll have a chance to give up becoming mages. But magic has no effect on them, and we don't know how to destroy them."
"Human, the magician needs your help. She chose you, which means you are capable enough and she believes in your abilities. If the magician has offended you in any way, I apologize on her behalf. I hope you will not be angry with the magician, but help her complete the test, save her, and save yourselves."
The [Mirror] card stood up, and his entire body began to fade away, transforming into energy and then turning back into a card, but the sound was still ringing and reaching Fūya Rei's ears.
"This is an unsolvable vicious cycle. The magician is constantly under unspeakable pressure. She can turn a blind eye to this crisis. After all, no one knows about this crisis, not even her friends. Everything in this world that is powerless can be abandoned, but she said..."
"I can't just enjoy the benefits of being a magician without taking on the responsibilities of being a magician. Since this crisis can only be resolved by magicians, I must face it."
"—Despite her words, she's well aware that she's not the previous magician and can't reclaim the card, so she's putting all her energy into making a final effort. Human, I urge you to think carefully and act cautiously, helping her achieve her wish and reverse the situation. I'm merely her card spirit, unable to do more for her. I can only reveal this to you. Remember not to tell anyone else, including magicians. Remember."
The [Mirror] card fell on the desk, and the connection to Fūya Rei's mirror was disconnected. His own face was reflected in the mirror, as if everything before was just a dream, but he knew in his heart that it was not a dream.
