Chapter 25 Water Card
After successfully rescuing the penguin, the man did not float to the surface, only half of his face was exposed in the water.
Although the glass blocked the view, Sakura could still see the man's face clearly. It seemed to be her brother Touya Kinomoto.
Just as Sakura squinted her eyes to get a clearer view, she suddenly felt a pulling force.
This pulling force carried her away from the crowd. After she left the onlookers, she could see clearly that it was Xia Yu who pulled her out.
Because Xia Yu was still holding her, Xiaoying did not ask any questions, but followed Xia Yu and ran towards a place with fewer people.
While running, Sakura discovered that Xia Yu was not only holding her, but also Tomoyo.
In this way, Xia Yu held Xiaoying and Tomoyo's hands one by one and ran to a place where there were only a few tourists. Then he let go of their hands and stopped running.
"Xia, what are you doing?"
After stopping, Xiaoying supported herself on her knees and took two breaths, then looked up at Xia Yu with some confusion.
However, before Xia Yu answered, Zhishi, who was also panting, took a deep breath, steadied his breathing, and guessed thoughtfully.
"I think Xia has discovered something. Looking at the situation, could it be the Clow Cards?"
"You guessed right."
Xia Yu nodded and confirmed Zhishi's words. He didn't have any breathing disorder. As a magician, how could he have a weak physique? It was not tiring at all for such a short distance.
After Sakura and Tomoyo's breathing stabilized, he continued, "Just now when the penguin was in danger, I noticed an abnormal magical power. If I'm right, it should be the Clow Cards causing trouble."
Having said that, he actually didn't feel anything. If the scene of Toya tearing Uzumaki apart with his bare hands hadn't been so impressive that it directly awakened his memory, he probably wouldn't have realized that the Uzumaki was the Water Card in the Clow Cards.
Animation will simply omit unimportant scenes for the sake of rhythm, but reality is not animation. Every day he experiences is a real day.
Therefore, he could not predict the future to find the Clow Cards. He could only live his life quietly and wait for abnormalities to occur.
After all, according to his understanding of the original work, if there was anything unusual around Sakura, there was no doubt that it was the Clow Cards causing trouble.
The abnormality in the aquarium just now suddenly reminded him of a scene he had seen in an animation. If his memory served him correctly, the Clow Card that appeared in this episode was the Water Card, one of the four elemental cards.
With a clear target, he can also use the magic of finding objects to find the water sign hidden in the aquarium.
After hearing Xia Yu's explanation, Xiaoying couldn't help but frowned: "Was it the Clow Card that almost hurt the penguin? Bullying the cute penguin is unforgivable! But there are so many people now, should we come to investigate at night?"
"No."
Xia Yu shook his head seriously at Xiaoying's suggestion: "Just now, the Clow Cards almost injured the keeper and the penguin. There is no guarantee that the Clow Cards will not cause trouble in the future. Every second wasted will increase the danger."
In the animation, time may be dragged out due to reasons such as rhythm, but this is not the case in reality. If Touya, who possesses magical powers, had not happened to be working here, the whirlpool in the pool would never have disappeared so easily.
If the Shuipai riots again, innocent people will definitely be affected, and it is even possible that someone will be injured.
In the anime, there was a riot by the water cards. The water cards broke the aquarium and directly flooded a cafe inside the aquarium. If Toya had not happened to be working there and had not used a fire axe to chop open the wooden door leading to the basement and let the water in, someone would definitely have been injured.
Therefore, the Clow Cards, which have been shown to be dangerous in the animation, are definitely more dangerous than those in reality.
After listening to Xia Yu's reasons, Xiaoying was silent for a while, and finally felt the heavy responsibility she had. Indeed, if she, the Clow Magician, hadn't sealed up the rebellious Clow Cards, more innocent people would have been harmed because of the Clow Cards.
At this moment, Sakura completely accepted her identity as the Sorcerer of Clow.
After her mentality changed, Sakura clenched her fist and encouraged herself: "Okay, let's go seal the Clow Cards now!"
"But how are we going to investigate? There are so many tourists now, do we have to expose it directly?" Tomoyo on the side looked at the two and raised his own questions.
Hearing this, Xia Yu smiled proudly: "Hahaha, don't forget that I can do magic too!"
"The magic called Disillusionment is the most suitable for sneaking into various forbidden areas. As long as we use this spell, ordinary people will not be able to find us at all. But we must keep a distance and don't make any noise."
Hearing this, Zhishi opened his eyes slightly wide, with surprise in his eyes.
"Xia, do you mean invisible?"
"Almost. Although not as good as an invisibility cloak."
"Invisibility cloak?"
Sakura's eyes lit up and she asked in surprise, "Xia-san! Do you have an invisibility cloak?"
"Forehead……"
Xia Yu's expression froze, and he shook his head awkwardly: "Not yet."
He certainly doesn't have it now, but the invisibility cloak is sold in the system mall. However, he doesn't really want to buy it. After all, he already has the Disillusionment Spell, and its effect is almost the same as the cloak, so why bother buying an invisibility cloak?
When Xiaoying heard that Xia Yu didn't have an invisibility cloak, she was a little disappointed. She also wanted to see the famous invisibility cloak. After all, in fantasy works, the invisibility cloak is an enduring classic prop.
"Well, being invisible is a good idea."
Chiyo bowed his head and pondered, then asked again, "But when you capture the Clow Cards, it will definitely make a noise. What if someone finds out?"
"Okay, okay."
Xia Yu casually took out his wand from his trouser pocket and shook it, then replied, "In addition to the Disillusionment Charm, I also know a magic called Muggle Shielding, which is a spell that prevents ordinary people from seeing or entering a certain magical area. After casting the spell, any non-magical person who approaches magic will involuntarily remember something to deal with and then leave on their own initiative."
Seeing that Xia Yu had even considered this, Xiaoying's eyes sparkled and she exclaimed: "Xia Yu, you are amazing. You even considered this. You are much better than me."
In response to Xiaoying's praise, Xia Yu laughed and shook his head: "Xiaoying, you underestimate yourself too much. You are just not grown up yet. When you grow up, you will be able to achieve your dreams."
He was not saying this to comfort Sakura, but was speaking the truth, because he vaguely remembered seeing setting information somewhere, that when Sakura grew up, her magic power was so huge that she could get almost any card she wanted.
And at that time, the cards were no longer called Clow Cards, but simply called Sakura Cards.
Now he can only pretend in front of Sakura who has not grown up yet. When Sakura's magic power grows stronger in the future, he will probably just be reduced to a background board.
By then, Sakura will also become a multi-level great magician like Clow Reed. After all, Sakura is the real protagonist of this world.
