The girl clearly noticed Asakura's gaze and cautiously took half a step back.
Asakura silently retracted his sowhat abrupt gaze: "If you don't mind, could you tell your na and how you turned into that form?"
"Where is this? Who are you?" The girl didn't answer him, but asked cautiously.
It seems she minds very much.
"This is the Chiba Magic Society, and as for ... you can consider a Magician."
Asakura, sitting on the sofa, propped his cheek with his right hand, speaking in a seemingly casual, drawn-out, deep voice. The brim of the Sorting Hat, with his deliberate movent, covered half of his face, making it difficult for the girl to see his expression at the mont. Coupled with the dim lighting in the Association Clubroom, which Asakura controlled, the entire atmosphere beca full of mystery.
"Magician..." The girl seed lost in thought.
Her transformation into a cat today had already caused a crack in the girl's worldview. Now, the other party's words made her feel as if she had never truly understood this world.
Asakura took the opportunity to check the system.
After completing the previous potion brewing task, the system rewarded him with a Magic potion called 'Polyjuice Potion'.
The new task clearly indicated what he needed to do next:
Task: Recruit a new Association mber.
"I've already answered your question, so as a basic courtesy, shouldn't you also answer mine?" Asakura asked loudly.
Only then did the girl recover from the state of her worldview crumbling.
"My na is Gokou Ruri..."
"Elentary school student?" Asakura asked, a little mischievously.
...I'm a middle school student! And I'm about to be in the third year!" The girl's violet eyes stared at Asakura: "I don't look that young, do I?"
"The matter of size is still debatable," Asakura stroked his chin.
...This 'size' should just refer to age, right?"
"It's okay, small is also very cute."
"Is it my imagination? Magician, you're just teasing , aren't you?" The girl said, a little displeased.
"Just seeing you too nervous, trying to help you relax a bit," Asakura said with a smile, but that smile always made Gokou Ruri feel like he was smirking: "Rather than that, let's continue talking about how you turned into a cat."
"Actually, I'm not too sure..."
The girl hesitated for a mont, but finally revealed everything she had encountered today. She had no idea what had happened to her, or even how she had changed back. As things stood, she could only place her hope in the 'Magician' in front of her. After all, she had only returned to human form after being saved by him. No matter how unreliable he seed, he was currently the only genuine supernatural being she knew of.
And Asakura, after listening to the girl's experience, pondered in silence for a mont.
Then he took off the Sorting Hat from his head and, under the girl's puzzled gaze, placed it on her head.
The Sorting Hat, which had originally looked like just a broken hat, suddenly began to squirm as if it had co to life.
Imdiately after, its previously wrinkled areas beca like a mouth, letting out a clear shout.
"Ravenclaw!"
The Sorting Hat shouted.
"The... the Sorting Hat talked?!" The girl's face turned pale with fright, as if what was on her head was not a hat, but a giant monster.
If Asakura hadn't been watching nearby, she might have already taken off the Sorting Hat and thrown it away.
"As expected," Asakura nodded calmly: "It seems the situation is already very clear."
"What?" The girl looked at him blankly.
Asakura looked back at her, and after a mont, said cheerfully: "In short, you are a Witch."
"...Huh?" The girl's expression beca even more bewildered.
As ntioned before, Asakura's Sorting Hat was also a reward from the Naless Magic Book, its na being 'Sorting Hat'... Just like the 9 3/4 classroom where the Association Clubroom was located, it was probably a Harry Potter reference the Naless Magic Book played after reading Asakura's past experiences.
For those without Magic, this Sorting Hat only had a basic 'ntal correction' effect. Wearing it would make one's mind clear, and learning would progress faster than usual, which is why Asakura wore the Sorting Hat while brewing the Magic potion earlier.
However, when worn by soone with a certain level of Magic, the Sorting Hat would co alive and shout out the na of a house—Hogwarts naturally didn't exist in this world. The Sorting Hat, after shouting a na, didn't actually sort people into houses, but simply bestowed a corresponding blessing. Of course, this blessing would only take effect with the permission of Asakura, the owner of the Sorting Hat.
It was precisely because of this that Asakura had almost figured out what had happened to the girl.
Although the reason was unknown, the other party had clearly beco a 'Witch'.
According to what Asakura learned from the Naless Magic Book, like magical creatures, Witches also possessed their own spell-like abilities.
To be precise, every Witch possessed an innate 'Magic'.
And after becoming a Witch, the other party did not release her Magic through planned training, leading to a large accumulation of Magic within her body, which eventually triggered her innate 'Magic', causing a magical rampage.
Initially just turning into a cat, then attracting animal attacks, and the protection of cat groups, should all be related to her Magic.
"Magic?" Gokou Ruri murmured: "Like Explosion?"
"Subarashii? Your favorite ani is quite cute..." Asakura said in surprise.
"No, it's Zero no Tsukaima. I prefer sothing a bit more profound," the girl said seriously.
"Those two are on the sa level, aren't they?" Asakura retorted.
Then he said seriously: "But unfortunately, Magic is not that convenient. Although I also like 'Scourgify' and 'Expelliarmus', actual Magic is quite dangerous and complex. To give an example, the conditions are just right now..."
Asakura casually pulled out a chanical pencil and handed it to the girl.
The girl subconsciously took it.
Then, he spoke in a strange, sowhat hissing language.
Snake
The next mont, the chanical pencil in the girl's hand imdiately distorted wildly, turning into a slender little Snake, scaring her into screaming and dropping it on the ground.
Asakura spread his hand, and the little Snake obediently slithered into his palm: "Snake, it can turn inorganic matter into organic matter, and it can also command corresponding creations and even native organisms, and even curse people, turning every strand of hair, every muscle, every blood vessel into Snakes... This is the power of Magic."
