Strong gales and lightning crackled, causing everyone to retreat involuntarily. As for Fangzheng, he gestured to Crazy Three, who nodded and took out the gun in his hand. According to Fangzheng's experience, all the Elves he met had lost their memories after the transformation, including Er Ya, Kuang San, and Si Jinnai.
Fangzheng wasn't sure about the situation of the other Elves, but for now, the Soul Crystal might cause memory loss. But Fangzheng wasn't unprepared.
After a while, the roar of the lightning gradually dissipated. At the same time, a figure gradually emerged from the lightning and the storm.
It was a beautiful girl with long purple hair. Youji was no longer lying on the hospital bed in a dying state. Instead, she looked almost the same as she did in the game world. Even the spiritual equipment she was wearing looked like the one Youji wore when she fought the final boss in the game … Well, there might be some changes in the details, but overall, there wasn't much difference.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Youji slowly opened her eyes and looked at them.
"How do you feel now, Youji?"
Fangzheng took two steps forward. He looked at Youji with a smile on his face while preparing himself for a sudden attack.
"Do you know who I am?"
"… … …"
Faced with Fangzheng's question, You Ji did not immediately answer. She first stood there in a daze, sizing up everyone one by one before saying softly.
"Brother Fangzheng … I … This is …"
"You still remember me."
Hearing Youji's answer, Fangzheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you remember the last few?"
"Of course, Sister Asuna, Sister Black Cat, and Sister Ying Lili …"
While saying that, Youji raised her hand again, clenched it, loosened it, and clenched it again. She stared blankly at her hands as if she was being controlled by something.
"Are you okay? Youji? "
Looking at this scene, Asuna couldn't help but ask worriedly. Youji jumped up abruptly and shook his head vigorously.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine!!"
While saying something that no one could understand, Youji One raised his hands high and jumped around the crowd.
"I'm really fine! It's fine now!! "
While shouting, Youji flew into Fangzheng's arms and looked up at Fangzheng excitedly.
"Brother Fangzheng! Am I dreaming? This isn't a VR space or a dream, right? Can I really walk, jump, and move on my own? "
"Ah, you're right."
Hearing Youji's question, Fangzheng smiled and reached out to touch her hair.
"This is not a dream. This is all real."
"Really, really?"
You Ji's question was somewhat incoherent and messy. However, Fangzheng stared at the girl in front of him and nodded firmly.
"Yes, it's all real."
"It's real … It's real …."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Youji muttered to herself a few times. Then, she screamed and threw herself into Fangzheng's arms and started crying loudly.
Seeing this scene, Ying Lili and the others were at a loss, but Fangzheng wasn't surprised. According to what he heard from the doctor, Youji was found to have AIDS when she was in elementary school, so she was forced to drop out of school. After that, although she persisted in treatment, her body continued to deteriorate day by day. Perhaps for Youji, being able to live like a normal person was already a luxurious dream for her.
After a while, Youji returned to normal. She left Fangzheng's embrace, feeling a little embarrassed. Ying Lili, who was beside her, handed her a handkerchief to wipe her eyes. Only then did she ask out of curiosity.
She then asked curiously, "Youji, have you become that … Elf? Did anything change? "
"Elf …."
Hearing Ying Lili's question, Youji frowned. She carefully recalled for a moment and nodded.
"By the way, some strange knowledge did appear in my head just now. It said that I can summon angels and spirit equipment …."
While speaking, Youji looked forward and stomped the ground hard.
"Come out, Murderous Duke!"
Boom!
As Youji stomped on the ground, a huge crack instantly appeared on the hard ground, quickly extending into the distance. Immediately after, a golden throne suddenly rose from the ground, and on top of the throne, there was a pure white one-handed greatsword. Youji leaped onto the back of the throne, stretched out her hand, and pulled out the greatsword from the back of the throne.
"Wow!"
Looking at the greatsword in Youji's hand, Ying Lili exclaimed in surprise. Then, as if she thought of something, she hurriedly looked at Fangzheng.
"Mr. Fangzheng, look, it's the greatsword!"
"… I saw it. I don't need you to tell me."
Hearing Ying Lili's reminder, Fangzheng rolled his eyes. You just didn't get a two-handed sword in the game. Do you have to remember it until now?
Youji obviously thought of the same thing. She playfully stuck out her tongue at Fangzheng. Then, Youji held the hilt of the greatsword with both hands and pulled it hard!
Kacha!
The next moment, the greatsword turned into two one-handed swords, held in Youji's left and right hands. It looked more like how Youji looked in the game.
"That's great …."
Black Cat stared at Youji so hard that her saliva almost flowed out of her mouth. As a chuunibyou patient, Black Cat dreamed of having such power!!
That's right!
Thinking of this, Black Cat seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she rushed over to grab Fangzheng.
"Mr. Fangzheng, you just said that you're a Dimensional Mage, right?"
"That's right."
Looking at Black Cat in front of him, Fangzheng could almost guess what she was thinking.
"Then, do you think I can learn magic?"
As expected.
Hearing Black Cat's question, Fangzheng's heart did not waver in the slightest. Instead, he felt like laughing. How could a person with a severe chuunibyou like Black Cat let go of such a good opportunity? If this was a supernatural anime, Black Cat would at least be the kind of person who would go over to investigate when she saw a special supernatural event.
Of course, whether she would become the heroine or the victim would depend on the genre of the anime.
If it was a female anime, then Black Cat would meet a handsome male protagonist, then get involved in a series of supernatural events, and then meet a series of handsome men.
If it was a child anime, then Black Cat would meet some kind of indescribable mascot, and then suddenly become a magical girl, starting a life of fighting and dying side by side.
If it was an adult anime … .then she would be sacrificing herself to serve the audience.
"Of course, if you're interested."
Fangzheng snapped his fingers. The next moment, the seal was lifted, and everything returned to normal. If it was before, this scene would have scared the three witches silly, but after witnessing the thrill of Youji's rebirth as an Elf, they obviously had a certain degree of psychological endurance.
Soon, they left the sterile room under Fangzheng's lead and returned to the reception room. Youji was jumping around excitedly, while Fangzheng, Asuna, and the others sat on the sofa again. Then, Fangzheng reached into his pocket and took out a crystal ball.
"What's this?"
"It's a test device."
Fangzheng explained.
"You should know that magic depends on talent. If you have the talent, then you can learn it. If you don't, then you can't learn it. Of course, I can teach you magic, but before that … .let's see how your aptitude is."
"Can we give it a try?"
Hearing this, Asuna and Ying Lili were also eager to give it a try. After all, this was magic. Who didn't have a girl's heart?
"Of course. Let's do it one by one. Asuna, you go first."
Fangzheng put the crystal ball on the table and gestured to Asuna. Asuna looked at the crystal ball curiously.
"This … .how do I do it?"
"Put your hand on the crystal ball. It will sense the magic in your body."
Fangzheng explained. Asuna put her trembling hand on the crystal ball. The crystal ball was given to Fangzheng by the White Tower after he became an official mage. Becoming an official mage meant that he was qualified to accept apprentices. In fact, Fangzheng lied. The crystal ball was not only used to test the magic in the testee's body, but also to sense the testee's suitability.
In other words, if the testee was more suitable to learn a certain school of magic, the representative rune of that school would appear on the crystal ball. The clearer and brighter the rune, the higher the suitability.
Of course, Fangzheng didn't use this thing at that time because it was just a test and didn't represent his real strength. It was just like how some people liked to play music even though they had a talent for painting. There was no conflict between the two.
So for the White Tower mages, this was more like an entrance test.
Of course, if you couldn't even pass this test, it meant that your body couldn't condense magic. Then … .naturally, you couldn't even think about learning magic.
Asuna placed her hand on the crystal ball, and … well, everyone only saw the crystal ball flash with a faint yellow light, and then it quickly dimmed.
"Unfortunately, it seems that you don't have the talent to learn magic."
Fangzheng wasn't surprised. He would be surprised if Asuna had the talent.
Next was Ying Lili. But just like Asuna, she obviously couldn't learn magic.
Finally, it was Black Cat's turn.
"As expected, I still have to do it …."
Looking at the crystal ball in front of her, Black Cat didn't show any fear. Instead, she showed an eager expression. She stretched out her hand and pressed it on the crystal ball.
"Feel my dark magic!!"
"… … …"
However, nothing happened.
"Fine."
Upon seeing this scene, Fangzheng shrugged.
"Looks like it's a pity …."
"— —!"
However, before Fangzheng could finish his sentence, the crystal ball in Black Cat's hand suddenly lit up. The next moment, a symbol appeared out of thin air on the crystal ball!
"Hahaha, I did it!!"
Looking at this scene, the black cat jumped up in excitement.
"How is it? Mr. Fangzheng? I did it, right? "
"Ah … .yeah …."
Fangzheng looked at the black cat in front of him in a daze. He turned agape but failed to say a word.
There was only one thought in his mind at that moment.
Is chuunibyou really not an illness?
