"Power itself is easy to obtain, but it is difficult to cultivate a mind that matches the powerful power?"

Wu Geng Liuli recalled some fantasy works and tried to answer Altair's question.

"No, the cultivation of strength is not easy. Countless people have worked hard and exhausted their efforts, but it is impossible to obtain the strength that is easily available to people of certain races and talents. Some people are naturally powerful, but their minds are like children. There are also many beings.

"

"Is that because the magician wants his disciples to explore the source of power and find their own path with their own hands?"

"No, that person himself has transcended [the system] and [the origin of the world]. How can he let his disciples pursue the [path]?"

"What is that?" Wu Geng Liuli was extremely confused.

"do not know."

"well?!"

"I am not him, and I have no intention of interfering in other people's private affairs. How do I know what his intentions are?"

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Altair's unconventional play made Wu Geng Liuli frustrated, but it made him feel much more relaxed.

Seeing that the glass was deflated at the fifth watch, Altair's expression also softened.

"However, if we talk about [power], there are many quick power systems in various worlds. The most representative ones are the [semi-permanent magic gems] and [self-disciplined magic seals] that exist in you.

The magical technology of the [Magical Girl Wand] in a certain world.”

"What?! Magical girl?!" Wu Geng Liuli was shocked.

"Pfft--" Saori smiled secretly.

After working on it for a long time, Kirino's favorite magical girl turned out to be right next to her, and she was the person she claimed to hate the most... This was really [fate, wonderful].

"Could it be that... the magical girl Mo Meixiang?" Wu Geng Liuli thought of the plot in the book she had read.

"Well, that's exactly it."

"Then, I don't think it's such a coincidence. Is there any relationship between the extremely willful magician and the character [Gesforgo Cavendish] in the fifth volume of the novel?"

"It's him."

"I? But my personality is completely different!?——"

"Haha, the book written by that guy himself has no shame and no limit."

Altair severely blackmailed Xing Ke.

"...What should I do? Shazhi, the image of the calm and wise white-robed sage in my heart has really collapsed." Wu Geng Liuli turned around and asked.

However, Shaori also looked dumbfounded:

"I feel the same way. I also feel that the perfect image is crumbling little by little..."

"People with great power are not necessarily serious people. On the contrary, there are many people who don't do serious things all day long. Therefore, in a mature organization, talented people with full potential and trustworthiness must be

Indispensable, ability is only a secondary condition for being able to learn if you want to.

So, how? Become a part of an organization like this?"

With a meaningful smile on his face, Altair stretched out a hand towards Wu Geng Liuli, with his palm upwards and said invitation.

This time Wu Geng Liuli smiled for the first time, and she smiled very gently:

"Thank you, Altair, I'm really happy to be able to invite you to me twice in a row.

However, I am very sorry that I cannot agree to your invitation now and cannot go to [Hongjie Ark] with you. I am really sorry."

"Oh? Can you tell me why?"

Without seeing any change in his expression, Altair retracted his palm.

"Because I am a minor! I am still in school. Although it is not a fulfilling and wonderful campus life, I have no intention of giving up my studies."

With a smile on his face, Wu Geng Liuli spoke his thoughts openly.

"Oh? In other words, you think studies are more important than my invitation?" Altair's smile became more and more intense.

"No, on the contrary, I hate going to school. Every day, I have to sit on a chair with a group of boring brats and listen to some courses that I have no great interest in. Then I have to take exams for some boring knowledge, and decide

It’s really annoying to think about who is better and who is more suitable to join the elite group of society..."

He openly declared against going to school and openly admitted his gray campus life.

"But, even this kind of campus life is where I should stay now. There are also some interesting articles mixed with boring knowledge. After school, I play games with my friends and discuss the things I like.

After returning home, I still have to take care of my two worrying sisters, prepare dinner for the family, finish writing a novel that has not yet reached its finale, and find an editor to revise the work for the Grand Prize Competition...

In short! - I am still a minor student with family and friends, so I have no way to accept your company's full-time employment and work in a different place.

I’m really sorry that it went against your expectations.”

Finally, using a rather playful metaphor, Wu Geng Liuli expressed his truest feelings.

"...Really, he is such a smart kid."

Even if he was rejected, Altair did not look angry at all, but was even more pleased:

"Now that you've reached this point, don't I have nothing to say? There's nothing you can do about valuing family ties and friendships. On the contrary, if you are the kind of person who can easily abandon those who value you, for yourself

As someone whose selfish desires betray everything, I still need to consider whether it is appropriate for you to be the person behind the entrustment."

"That's it. Although it's a pity, but...ah?" Wu Geng Liuli realized what was wrong: "Didn't I refuse?"

"That's what it's all about."

As he spoke, Altair stretched out his finger and slipped it. Wu Geng Liuli's finger hurt, and a drop of blood seeped out and melted into the badge suspended in mid-air.

Then Altair took out his badge and logged in as a communication friend.

"Now, you have officially become a member of [Hongjie Ark? Reserves] and entered the assessment period."

"...Didn't I refuse? Is [Hongjie Ark] a sinister organization that forcibly collects labor?"

Wu Geng Liuli complained a little as she rubbed her fingers that had no wounds but phantom pain.

"Cunning little girl! Even if you say this, don't you fully express your meaning?

[I want to go, but I can’t do it now, please give me time.]”

Altair has already seen through everything.

"Humph, aren't you the same, Altair?

He said he wanted to invite me, but this was actually an assessment. If I really accepted the invitation, I would have been labeled as untrustworthy and failed in the assessment just now!

You're the one who's cunning, right?"

Wu Geng Liuli also saw her own ending.

"You two...what are you doing?"
