"Forbidden Magic...?" I muttered. "What is that?"
"Sounds ominous..." Feng Mian remarked.
The other girls all nodded their heads in agreent. i Gui didn't seem fazed at all, however.
She sighed and began explaining the answer to our questions. "Forbidden Magic, is essentially what you would call Chaos Elent Magic, though there are spells in other elents that are powerful enough to be known as Forbidden Magic as well."
"How powerful exactly are they?" Yu An Yan asked.
"Not counting Chaos Magic, Forbidden Magic exceeds the power of even Divine-Tier spells," i Gui replied. All of our eyes widened in surprise.
Despite having said sothing that revolutionized our entire knowledge of the modern magic society, i Gui, as always, didn't seem fazed whatsoever.
"Exceed Divine-Tier spells?! No way that's possible!" Feng Mian exclaid. "They were labeled as the highest tier spells for a reason, and though they exist, no one has ever been able to cast one!"
"I am just telling you what I know from my mories. Whether you believe it or not, that is up to you," i Gui brushed Feng Mian's statent off casually.
Feng Mian was taken aback, but remained quiet.
"Wait. Earlier, you said 'excluding Chaos Magic,'" Qing Yue pointed out. "Does that an...Chaos Magic is even stronger?"
i Gui then asked via telepathy whether or not she should say this out loud, and I replied yes, everyone here is our allies. I was still not very used to her suddenly entering my mind, but I couldn't deny it was a useful ability to share.
She then turned to face Qing Yue, and spoke. "Yes, and no. The most powerful Chaos spells are far stronger than the Forbidden Magic of other elents, but even the most basics of the basics of Chaos Magic is classified as Forbidden Magic, no matter how weak they are."
"...I see," I sank deep into thought. After a while, I looked towards i Gui with determination in my eyes. "Hey, i Gui...do you think you can teach these spells?"
She glanced at , and after we stared each other like that for a few seconds, she smiled gracefully - the first sign of emotion she's shown since we t. I blinked a couple of tis to make sure what I was seeing was right, but by the ti I finished doing that, the smile was gone, replaced by her usual calm, monotone deanor. But I was fairly sure she had indeed smiled there, however slightly.
"If that is what master wishes," i Gui said with a bow. "However, master can only learn the basics as of right now. In order to learn more advanced and powerful Chaos Magic, master must get stronger first."
"I'm fine with that. That was what I was planning on doing, anyway..." I murmured.
"Then, please stand back, master. I will first teach you the spell I used just now - Chaos Mirror."
i Gui said that, and the rest of us all backed away cautiously. I was a bit concerned with her only telling to stand back, as if she didn't care about the other girls' well-being, but for the mont that could wait. She seed to be concentrating, after all. However, the next words that ca out of her mouth threw everyone off.
"Okay, master. I'm ready."
"R-Ready?! For what?!" Feng Mian squeaked out loud before anyone could stop her.
"Wow!! Teaching magic turn into maid-master cosplay!" Qing Yue exclaid happily. I was concerned at her excitent for this kind of thing.
"H-Hold on, shouldn't there be a process for this kind of thing?!" Yu An Yan reddened up and looked away.
Yu An Xue closed her eyes and pretended nothing had happened, but her cheeks were blushing as well.
i Gui tilted her head in confusion. "Master...? What is going on? Why are these bitches all screaming?"
"Language..." I sighed exasperatedly. She bowed down apologetically, and I continued. "They are just a little shocked...what you said earlier could be taken the wrong way, you know?"
"What way?" she asked, face full of innocence.
I gulped. Should I tell her? N-No, she's still just like a newborn baby, unaware of the ways of the world. I definitely shouldn't be feeding her information like this!
"U-Uh, Feng Mian is more suited for this kind of thing..." I blurted out without thinking, thus pushing the matter onto Feng Mian.
"Bwah?! ?!" Feng Mian covered her face in embarrassnt as i Gui turned to glare at her. "N-No, I think An Yan is a better choice..."
"H-Hold on, why are you pushing this onto ?!" Yu An Yan, having being called on, shouted angrily. But she imdiately backed down after i Gui began glaring at her instead. "U-Um, how do I put it....that's right! An Xue here is far more experienced with that kind of thing!"
"H-Huh?!" Yu An Xue, caught by surprise, widened her eyes at her own sister's words, feeling betrayed. I smiled sadly, and decided to forget that this entire tragic scenario was caused by . i Gui turned to stare at Yu An Xue blankly, and she couldn't do more than point a finger at-
"Okay~ It's finally my turn! Little sister i Gui, I, big sister here will educate you in the ways of adulthood!"
"Why are you so excited over sothing like that?!" I yelled in despair. My little sister, who I thought was innocent and angelic, was getting hyped about teaching another girl about sex and kinks. I really didn't know how to feel about that.
Then I noticed sothing else-
"Wait, why do you look so interested in it too?!" I cried, seeing i Gui's eyes brimming with curiosity. Qing Yue, anwhile, puffed out her modest chest in pride.
"Ahem, but before we get into that, you should teach Big Brother Xuan Kai your Forbidden Magic," Qing Yue told i Gui, finally getting back on track.
"Okay....master, watch closely," i Gui said, turning to . She clasped her hands together. "First, you have to visualize the Chaos mana within you."
I raised an eyebrow. "Visualize? How is that different from when I cast a normal spell?"
"When you cast a normal spell, you have to first condense your mana into a small sphere, then break it to let the mana spread through your entire body. However, visualizing the Chaos mana within you is easier. Master, close your eyes. Can you feel it? The red and black mana flowing through your veins," i Gui explained.
I did as I was told, and shut my eyes. I concentrated very hard, and pictured my Dantian's mana being sucked out to flow throughout my entire body, a black and red energy running through my veins. And then, suddenly-
My eyes snapped open. "I can feel it."
Gui nodded. "As expected of my master, you were able to unlock the Chaos within you so easily."
Apparently, what I just did was 'unlock the Chaos within '. Indeed, I felt a lot stronger than before. Now, even without visualizing the Chaos mana, I could automatically feel it flowing through .
"Does this an...I can cast Forbidden Magic now?" I asked.
i Gui nodded. "Not only that, but you should be able to cast normal spells any ti you want, without having to condense your mana first."
"What?!" Feng Mian exclaid. "That's such an overpowered ability!"
She was right. Not needing to take that few seconds to condense your mana first was a busted power to have - to the point where it's a matter of life and death. For example, if you were walking alone on a road, and were ambushed suddenly, it is doubtful you would have ti to condense your mana first. However, if you didn't need to condense your mana, then you would be able to react and launch a counterattack instantly.
The other girls were also similarly shocked at this news. I wasn't all that impressed though. Instead, I attempted to analyze the theory behind the Chaos mana.
"I see..." I muttered as I ca to a conclusion. "So before, I never emptied my Dantian in one go. And so, after I finish casting a spell, the excess mana returns to my Dantian. However, now...I pretty much 'shattered' my Dantian, and all the mana within it is constantly flowing through my body, and hence I do not need to condense my mana first."
"That is correct," i Gui replied. "I am impressed, master. I never thought you would be able to figure that out."
Her voice sounded sarcastic because of the emotionless tone, but I could tell she was actually impressed, thanks to our telepathic connection. I realized that I could not only communicate with her using telepathy, but also see her emotions. This surprised , as despite her constantly having a deadpan face, she had various feelings and emotions, just like humans.
"Well then...what's the next step, i Gui?" I said, moving on.
"All you have to do is cast the spell like any other - picture the spell inside your head, and follow your instincts. The Primordial Chaos chose master, so it should not be hard," i Gui answered.
I nodded, and visualized the black screen i Gui had put up earlier. My hands then moved on their own, and before I knew it, before was a massive translucent black wall, swirling with energy.
"Damn, that WAS easy," I muttered in awe.
i Gui didn't say anything, but instead walked around to directly face . We were separated by the black screen I had put up. "Master, this is the power of Chaos Magic."
Saying that, she raised her arm towards , and a black and red fireball flew out of her palm. I was surprised for a second, but quickly realized she was simply showing what this spell, Chaos Mirror, did.
I, along with the other girls, watched on in amazent as the Chaos-imbued fireball i Gui had cast was sucked in to the black screen, which was now crackling with red sparks. Soon after, the fireball erged from the center once more, and flew back towards i Gui.
I was about to say 'watch out', but I swallowed those words as she simply sucked in the attack, as if she was a mirror herself, except she didn't send the fireball back.
i Gui tilted her head in confusion as the rest of us watched her in shock.
I was the first one to co back to my senses. "A-Ah, nothing. I should've known..."
The other girls were still puzzled, however. They looked at for an explanation, and I sighed.
"I forgot...this is i Gui's original form, but prior to today, she was in the form of my stone pendant," I explained.
I didn't need to say anymore, as the girls all nodded in understanding. Since the stone pendant was able to suck in attacks, it made sense for i Gui to be able to as well. However...
"But...doesn't this an Big Brother Xuan Kai won't be able to use that skill anymore?" Qing Yue said in worry.
She was referring to the ability to nullify and suck in enemy attacks, of course. I originally used the stone pendant to do that, but now that it had returned to its original form and separated from my physical body...
"No need to worry," i Gui interrupted calmly. "Master is still able to use that ability. Earlier, I said that I possess all the elents and skills that Master has, but the reverse applies as well. Master, similarly, has access to all of my abilities."
My eyes widened. "So that's why I could cast that Chaos Mirror spell so easily, huh..."
Yu An Yan then joined the conversation. "Well then...a lot of things happened today, and honestly I'm still not quite back to my senses, but what I do know is that we have a tournant tomorrow, and it's getting late."
"Ah, right...I had almost forgotten about that," I said, scratching my cheek awkwardly.
"Then, shall we head back to the school?" Feng Mian suggested.
"Yeah, let's go!!" Qing Yue exclaid giddily. "Little sister i Gui, why don't you start living with from now on? I will teach you-"
"I will sleep with master," i Gui cut Qing Yue off instantly.
"Alrigh- Wait, what?!" I almost just went along with the flow there. "i Gui, what do you an...?"
"I replenish energy by being close to master," she replied nonchalantly.
"Uh, does that an you have to sleep with though?"
"Yes, that is the most effective thod."
"..."
"..."
After getting stared at by her for an uncomfortably long ti, I sighed and gave in. "Fine...but you are sleeping on the bed, I'll go on the couch."
"But-" she began.
"I'm not taking any 'buts' on this." I glared at her, and she backed down. Since she called master, she would have to listen to my orders. I didn't want to use my authority over her like so, but every man had his limits.
Throughout this duel, everyone began trusting i Gui more, not only in her strength but also her personality.
And so, just like that, our original group of five gained one new mber.
