Chapter Thirteen

1

The appearance of the Infinite Loop made the students in the entire building feel uneasy. People from other activity rooms nervously ran out, and in their eyes, the Infinite Loop appeared as fragmented images protruding from the room.

Zi Sirou stepped out of the room and shouted at them, "Go back and do what you're supposed to do."

"What are you doing, News Department?"

"What happens within the activity room is none of the other clubs' business. And the Student Council is the one using this room. If there's a problem, go ask the Student Council. They have the principal's permission, right?"

Zi Sirou looked at me and said, "The people outside can't see what's inside. But since Zi Sirou said that it had the principal's permission, the members of other clubs wouldn't question it, and they definitely wouldn't bother going to ask the principal.

"Close the door."

Zi Sirou closed the door of the activity room and asked, "I didn't hear that you had a Grimoire too?"

"Weren't you just saying that it had the principal's permission?"

A blank piece of paper appeared from the Infinite Loop, and I opened Guffy's "Infinite Grimoire." The paper quickly materialized in front of the book.

"Infinite Magic·Mirror Image - Record."

The paper left my side and surrounded the journalist. The light of the paper enveloped him.

"Sorry, sir, you might feel a bit itchy." I shared my experience of receiving this Magic, which was when Guffy attempted to obtain the "Celestial Demon's Fire," recorded in the Grimoire, after forming a contract with the dragon for the first time.

"He can't hear you; all his senses are blocked. Who knows if he can feel the itch?" Zi Sirou, indifferent to all this, said. Although it was a rather rough act to bring the journalist back tied up, the faster they completed it, the better.

I could clearly hear the uncomfortable sound of the journalist's throat, unable to laugh.

"Qin Yang, do you remember that you promised to help me find someone? In return, you have to do something for me."

"Hey, I just agreed to a lot of things, okay?"

"But I never said that it was something to fulfill your promise, did I?"

"You didn't say that?"

Zi Sirou seemed to have succeeded in her plan and smiled triumphantly.

This girl seemed to think I would fail many times.

After about ten minutes, all the papers started writing at the same time. Just like a magician pulling something out of a hat, incantations appeared one by one. Whether the Mirror Image Magic could be permanently recorded or not depended on the states of the user and the one being recorded during the process. With most of my magic power maintaining my colored irises, and the journalist's state being unstable, it was likely that it couldn't achieve permanent recording. So, this Magic could only be used when it was possible.

"Qin Yang, what can we do with these Grimoire pages?"

"Copy his Magic."

"His Magic? What kind of Magic does he have? It's easy to arrest him, so his Magic isn't strong, right?"

"The strength of his Magic isn't the standard to evaluate his abilities because he possesses a special kind of Magic - Light Speed Shadow."

"Oh~~~ that Magic, the Magic that can retrieve past images from an object or animal. It's a great Magic for a journalist. But does this kind of Magic really exist?" Whether it was Zi Sirou or anyone else, I think people in the entire Imperial City probably have only heard of this kind of Magic in books or rumors. The group of people who possess this Magic definitely don't want the general public to know. Obviously, it's inevitable for someone like this journalist to be forced to do certain things, and their abilities are not enough to protect themselves compared to others.

"Recycle."

The Grimoire in my hand turned to the last page, and the blank paper filled with spells sorted itself and inserted into the Grimoire.

"Hey, what's wrong with you!" Zi Sirou suddenly supported me. In her eyes, I must be weak. Indeed, using so much magic to perform this Magic requires a lot of energy. I should ask Guffy to revise the book next time and save some magic.

"It's okay, this book consumed too much magic." I quickly returned the book to Guffy. Holding her book, I realized it also consumed magic. What on earth was Guffy's design concept?

"I heard you have 'kidney deficiency'."

"Nonsense, please don't insult my kidneys. They're quite healthy, and I'm indestructible!"

It was clear that she heard it from the Student Council. I've said it multiple times that magic has nothing to do with my kidneys. They just want to tarnish my reputation!

"They all know about your kidneys, yet they still like to be around you. It's strange."

"So why did you agree to be my fiancée?"

"I haven't tried, so how would I know if it's true or not!"

"How do you want to try?"

"Forget about trying anything. Can't you stand up on your own!" Zi Sirou thought for a moment and quickly changed her tone.

I pushed Zi Sirou away and blocked her line of sight with my body. My left hand turned into a dragon to temporarily restore my magic. This method of replenishing magic only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. If I don't find a way to restore my iris, I have to do this to maintain normal magic levels. However, the harm caused by semi-dragonification to my body will accumulate over time, and I have no idea what I will eventually become.

"You're already fine so quickly? You were weak just now."

Zi Sirou looked at me curiously as I calmly wiped my glasses.

"Ah." I casually replied, preparing to leave.

"Hey!"

"What now?"

"What should we do about this person?" Zi Sirou squatted down and poked the journalist's waist. He showed no sign of response, but was still breathing. He must have fainted.

"Where did you find him? Return him where you found him."

"When are you going to the pyramid?"

"Tomorrow!"

"So soon? What's so important there?"

"Well, it's very important. At the dance party yesterday, someone made me suddenly realize that many things are happening. I can't hesitate anymore. I won't know the consequences until I take action."

Between me and Maru Tian, I've always been on the defensive. I can't guarantee that I will win the next gamble with him. In fact, I didn't win the last time at all. I can say that Elena was the one I lost to. He even hinted that I shouldn't use the time axis.

At 9:30 p.m., there were still many people walking on campus, but there were very few people passing by the little building of the Student Council. At this moment, I was wondering whether I should tell them about going to the pyramid tomorrow.

Maybe I shouldn't tell them. If they insist on going with me like Zi Sirou, it would be troublesome. Whether it's Tony and the others or Maru Tian, everything revolves around me. It might be safer if I'm not around.

"One, two, three..."

I had a dozen coins in my pocket, which could come in handy.

I heard people inside the house, so I ran to the back and drew a symbol on the ground with a tree branch. This symbol represents evasion in the Magic Formation. Many Magic Formations have this symbol attached because it allows the user to move within it without being noticed. Its principle is similar to that of a chameleon.

The main purpose of using the magic array is to save magic power. If it is a common invisibility magic, there is no need to save magic power through the magic array. Besides, I also have to wear the ring.

After injecting magic power, the dozen or so coins that were originally placed in front of the array stood upright at the same time. I commanded them to roll on the ground and draw a magic array around the house. The main goal was to cover the entire house with the effects.

"Snap!" Xiao Qiong suddenly opened the door of the house. Looking at the pitch-black outside, I stood right in front of her, but she still looked around.

"Sis, come take a bath. Qingxue brought back some essential oils from their country. I heard they are very comfortable!" Xiao Yao wrapped herself in a towel, and her chest was even more impressive compared to her sister.

"Oh! Wait for me... Strange, I just felt Qin Yang's magic power." Xiao Qiong looked around again, but there was no sign of anyone.

I slipped in as soon as Xiao Yao closed the door.

I think these girls really know how to enjoy themselves. I've been running all day and I'm exhausted, but I really want to take a bath.

But even though I want to, it's more important to do something serious. I need to go back to my room right now. I will sleep at the Duke's mansion tonight, and tomorrow morning I will take the plane to Emotinia. It's really far away, and flying or using spatial magic consumes too much magic power. It's better to take the plane and enter the country through regular channels. It's less likely to be excluded by the locals, after all, tourists are there to spend money.

"Brother, there are a lot of things going on in the student union recently. Can you tell Dad that I won't be going home this month? Is that okay?"

I walked behind Xiao Qiong as she passed by the bathroom and heard Liu Qingqing, who was also wrapped in a towel, talking on the phone. It was her brother, the one who was in the same dormitory as me in the freshman year.

"Qingqing, hang up the phone quickly. It's time for a bath!"

Wenxin also wrapped herself in a towel and quickly ran downstairs from the second floor, anxiously telling Qingqing.

"Well, I got it!" Qingqing hung up the phone and then entered the bathroom.

I walked and threw coins while watching them, one by one, walking into the bathroom with their towels wrapped around them. I couldn't understand why the bathroom was so big.

"Ding~~~" The coin was thrown into the air again, and just as I was about to catch it, Wenxin ran past me and her forehead happened to hit the coin. Instinctively, I followed the trajectory of the coin and reached out to catch it.

"Snap!" I heard the sound of the door closing, and at the same time, a cloud of smoke filled my vision. I felt that the surrounding water vapor was heavy, and the floor was very slippery.

"It feels like I hit something. It hurts." Wenxin held her forehead and painfully took off her robe.

Huh? This is the bathroom, isn't it? When did I come in?

When I saw Wenxin taking off her robe, I realized that I accidentally stepped into the bathroom while chasing the coin!

What should I do! All the girls from the student union are in the bathroom. If I open the door right now or use spatial magic, they will definitely feel it. At this time, I should post on a forum and ask for advice from online friends.

"Wenxin, what did you hit?" Liuli was already back at school from the palace, her injuries had healed and there was no reason to take another sick leave.

"I don't know, it seemed like I hit something hard just now, but I can't find it now."

"Let me take a look." Li Liu stood up from the pool naked, and I felt my head pounding, so I immediately leaned against the wall, afraid to breathe.

"Look, is it turning red!"

Please, just let someone go out for a moment so I can leave!
