"Who are you?"
"George's words made Maki face a puzzled expression."
Given that I know Lee Xiao Lang and can sense the magic within her, is it possible that she belongs to the Li family of Jiangjiang?
"Li Xia, a senior of the Li family, the elder of Xiao Lang Li."
"Xiao Lang told the old man that a teacher with strong magic had come to the school, which seemed strange, so the old man came to check it out."
George walked over to Makai Kanata:
"The old man won't beat around the bush. Since you've returned from Britain and are now a teacher at this school, what is your purpose? Is it for the Yu-Gi-Oh cards?"
He of course knew what Makai Kanata's purpose was, but he couldn't show any signs of knowing everything now, otherwise it would be revealed.
The Yu-Gi-Oh cards are magical cards left by Kulorido, possessing powerful strength, and are a top-notch magical item desired by all magicians in this world.
As the elder of the Li family, to ensure Xiao Liwang's safety, it is perfectly reasonable to have suspicions that Kanata Kagen, who has returned from Britain, may have ulterior motives regarding the Yu-Gi-Oh cards and to question them.
"Master Li, I believe you are mistaken. Whatever my purpose may be, it will not harm Xiao Lang classmate. And it won't be long, you will know soon enough."
"George's words made Makai Kanata patiently explain."
She was unaware why George's presence had not been foreseen by Yuudai Ayuro's prophecy magic, but since it was not mentioned in the prophecy, it must mean he is not a formidable figure.
It could be because her own strength is enough to handle it easily, and Yuudai Ayuro did not mention it specifically.
"Teacher Kanata, I cannot simply believe you based on your words alone."
George shook his head:
"Either you tell me the reason, or I have no choice but to offend you."
"Mr. Li, the reason I cannot disclose to you yet. If you insist on this, I will have to seal your memories for a few days."
Upon hearing this, Kanata unleashed her powerful lunar magic, forming a Yin-Yang mage seal with her hand.
"Sealing technique!"
A seal barrier that separates the teaching office from the outside world enclosed the entire office.
Involving the final result of the Moon's Judgment, it is definitely not advisable to inform this senior of the Li family in advance. If there were any changes because of this, it could lead to the failure of the Moon's Judgment, which would be unfortunate.
Therefore, she decided to first set up a barrier to prevent ordinary people from discovering the outside world, then take down this senior of the Li family and temporarily seal this Li family ancestor's memories with Yin-Yang magic for a few days.
"Japanese Yin-Yang magic, quite interesting."
George watched as Kanata performed the spell, his face revealing a curious expression.
In this world, there is magic in Britain, Daoist techniques in China, Yin-Yang magic in Japan, and many other countries also have their own unique magical systems.
The Yu-Gi-Oh cards primarily combine Chinese Daoist techniques and Western magic.
As for the Japanese Yin-Yang magic, since it is basically a transformation from the Chinese Daoist techniques of Yin and Yang and the five elements, its essence is not fundamentally different from the Chinese Daoist system of magic, so it can be overlooked.
"Kami-Shirogane!"
After setting up the barrier, Kanata drew a small paper doll, chanting incantations as she threw it at George. The paper doll instantly transformed into a spectral form, bounding towards George to restrain him.
"Summon lightning!"
George saw the situation and lifted his hand lightly, releasing a bolt of lightning that immediately dispersed the spectral form created by the paper doll. Having touched the essence of lightning, the power he displayed as a Li family technique was so strong that even a true god would be shaken to its core if it were to be hit.
"What, so strong!"
Seeing her spirit being instantly defeated and the terrifying magic emitted from the elder across from her, Makai Kanata's face turned pale in an instant.
She had originally thought that the opponent was just an average elder of the Li family, and she could easily take him down. However, it seems that his strength is far more terrifying than the current patriarch of the Li family.
As the Shrine Maiden born with powerful lunar magic, she mastered various Yin-Yang magic and Nine-Character True Symbols. In the whole Japan, she was also at the pinnacle of strength among the Onmyōdōshi.
The last person to give her this sense of oppression was Yuudai Ayuro, the strongest magician in the present era, whom she had met for the first time.
"I cannot beat him, I definitely cannot beat him."
No longer releasing other spirit forms or Yin-Yang magic, Makai Kanata immediately withdrew her magic and lifted the barrier, saying:
"Surrender, I surrender! Master Li, please stop! I'll tell you everything!"
Given the current situation, it's unlikely to win a fight, so it's better to come clean. As a senior of the Li family, it's likely that Li Xuan will not prevent the Moon's Judgment.
Even if he tries to stop it later, she can notify Yuudai Ayuro to come.
If she continues to fight, she may get injured or trapped, and then she won't be able to help Xiao Ying complete the Moon's Judgment.
"If that's the case, I'm not someone who won't reason with you. Please explain, Teacher Kanata."
George, seeing Makai Kanata put away her magic and barrier, did not continue to attack, but his tone was clearly tinged with regret.
Although Japanese Yin-Yang magic and the nine-character true words originated from China, there have been many changes. He had hoped to learn from it and see if there was anything worth learning. However, he did not expect her to surrender so quickly.
I should have been more lenient at the beginning.
"Master Li, the situation is as follows..."
Afraid that George might continue to attack, Kanata explained the whole situation as quickly as possible, except for not mentioning that Yuudai Ayuro was the reincarnation of Kulorido. Otherwise, she basically said everything.
"That's why, I have no ill intentions, nor do I want to take the Yu-Gi-Oh cards. I just want to help Xiao Ying and Xiao Lang complete the final Moon's Judgment, regardless of who the final owner of the Yu-Gi-Oh cards is."
Makai Kanata took out the Moon Bell and showed it to George:
"This is a magical item, the Moon Bell, made by Kulorido. It can play an important role in the final trial."
"I can feel that you're not lying, but there's one thing I'm curious about. You say it was Yuudai Ayuro who sent you to help with the Moon's Judgment, but what are Yuudai Ayuro's intentions? Why did he do this?"
George did not stop there; instead, he continued to ask further.
The name of Yuudai Ayuro was known to Li Xuan, as the world's strongest magician. The Li family certainly would not be unaware of it.
No one knows that Yuudai Ayuro is the reincarnation of Kulorido, so his question makes sense.
"That..."
Kanata hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to mention it without Yuudai Ayuro's consent.
This is not something to be taken lightly. If it were to spread, the entire magical world would be in an uproar.
George smiled:
"Alright, if you're not comfortable talking now, you can wait until the performance is over, and call him on his phone. Then tell me what his purpose is, so I can rest assured."
