Chapter 441 The Uprooted Tree
"How is it? What do you think of this new transfer student?"

"Thoughts? Does cuteness count?"

During lunch break, Hua Cong walked to the aisle. At this time, only Xia Yu and Li Xiaolang were there. The two were discussing the new transfer student, Shizhimoto Akiho.

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Li Xiaolang said helplessly: "Be serious, I know she is cute, but what else?"

"Well...you tell me first?" Xia Yu pondered for a few seconds and asked back.

"I don't feel any magic from her. Maybe she is just an ordinary transfer student." Li Xiaolang replied thoughtfully.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's how narrow your vision is. Just because she doesn't have magic power doesn't mean she's ordinary."

Xia Yu shook his head and raised his eyebrows, "Just like me, have you ever felt magic from me?"

"..."

Li Xiaolang was speechless for a moment. From the time he met Xia Yu until now, he indeed had never felt any magic from this man.

Even when he accidentally swapped bodies due to a Clow Card substitute, he had never been able to feel any magic from this person's body.

"You are not a regular case, so you cannot be used as a reference." After a few seconds, Li Xiaolang shook his head and said.

After all, in his knowledge, Xia Yu is the only special case of someone who has no magic power but can perform all kinds of magical spells.

Perhaps it is true as this man once said, he really is the legendary chosen one, who can do magical things that ordinary people and magicians cannot do.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he would definitely not say it out loud, otherwise this person would definitely show off in front of him.

"That's right. After all, the Chosen One is unique. My existence naturally cannot be used as a reference. You are right about that."

Xia Yu looked at Li Xiaolang with admiration, as if to confirm that what he had just said was true.

Li Xiaolang: “…”

He knew it.

Suppressing the urge to complain, Li Xiaolang shook his head and brought the topic back to where it had strayed, asking again, "So, do you feel anything is wrong?"

"Well... not yet, but she is definitely an important part of the story. Anyway, we can just deal with it as it comes." Xia Yu spread her hands and gave an impeccable answer.

Hearing this, Li Xiaolang sighed and replied: "Although what you said is the same as not saying anything, this is indeed the best approach. I will find time to ask Hiiragi Ze."

"Why ask him? Isn't he already unable to predict the future?"

Xia Yu asked curiously. After all, on the night when all the Clow Cards were converted into Sakura Cards, Elio had divided his magic power into two and gave the other half to Kinomoto Fujitaka, and lost the ability to predict the future.

We can’t even predict the future, so we can’t just simply report the situation, right?

"Although I can't predict the future, Hiiragi Ze can still tell fortunes. At least I can know the situation of Shi Nomoto from the fortune-telling."

At this point, Li Syaoran frowned slightly and said, "At least we should know that she is really just an ordinary transfer student, and she transferred here with a purpose. After all, Sakura's magic power is unstable at the moment, and that huge magic power will definitely attract the covetousness of those who are interested."

Seeing Li Xiaolang's serious look, Xia Yu patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "Well, you look very energetic!"

"If Sakura knew about your silent dedication behind the scenes, she would definitely be deeply moved. I will tell Sakura about everything you did for her when we get back to the classroom."

As soon as these words came out, Li Xiaolang panicked and quickly grabbed Xia Yu and said quickly: "Don't say anything, what do you want to do?"

"Haha, of course I'm just teasing you."

Seeing Li Xiaolang's panic, Xia Yu laughed twice, waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. After all, this is between you and Xiaoying, I won't interfere... Well, under normal circumstances, I definitely won't interfere."

"Then what is the unusual situation?" Li Xiaolang asked nervously.

"Of course..."

Xia Yu first pried open Li Xiaolang's hand, then smiled and said, "Guess~"

After saying that, Xia Yu turned around and ran away. His speed was so fast that before Li Xiaolang could react, he had disappeared from his sight.

Listening to the faint laughter coming from beside his ears, Li Xiaolang couldn't help but cover his face and sit down on the bench. Somehow, he remembered a sentence his mother once warned him.

There are many magicians whose personalities are distorted due to their great power. If you meet such a magician, try to have as little interaction with them as possible.

After all, no one can guess what a magician with a twisted personality will do.

Thinking back to Xia Yu's frivolous character, Li Xiaolang didn't know whether he should be glad or sigh.

But after waiting for a while, he couldn't help but smile. Although the man was often unreliable, he was still very reliable when he was serious.

With him around, no matter what happens, we can really use the saying "if an enemy comes, we can fight him with a general; if a flood comes, we can block it with earth."

……

In the afternoon, Class 2, Grade 1.

Chinese class.

"Just like last time, today we are going to talk about four-character idioms. Please fill in the blanks."

The Chinese teacher held up the textbook and wrote idioms on the blackboard. Although it was a Japanese language class, the Chinese course still included four-character idioms.

After writing the idiom with a missing character, the teacher called on the students to fill in the blank. Feeling the familiar atmosphere of class, Xia Yu supported his face with one hand and watched the teacher standing on the podium and calling the names. The more afraid he was of being called, the more likely he was to be called.

It seems that this is a law, called Murphy's Law? Simply put, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.

When the teacher calls your name, you must not lower your head and tremble. That would be a reminder to the teacher to come and call your name.

The best thing to do is to look the teacher in the eye confidently, acting as if you have learned it all and are not afraid of being called on. This way the chances of being called on will be greatly reduced.

With this thought in mind, Xia Yu looked the teacher straight in the eye with confidence, not showing any fear of being called out.

"Xia classmate."

"what?!"

Xia Yu straightened up in astonishment. This, this is not right? Why was he named?

"Kinomoto-san."

"Please ask these students to come to the front." After calling the last student, the teacher said with a smile.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have looked at you earlier..."

Xia Yu stood up while gnashing his teeth and muttering to himself. Although these idioms were not difficult for him at all, he would still be nervous when the teacher called on him, no matter if he knew it or not.

Moreover, he still had some trauma about being called out when he was in school. He still remembered that it was also a Chinese class.

The teacher at that time called his name and asked him to go to the stage and read the answers written in his exercise book. Although the answers were correct in the end and the process went smoothly, there was a biggest problem here.

That is, he didn't write anything in his exercise book. The answers were all given by him as he thought of them. Fortunately, the teacher didn't look at his exercise book, otherwise he would definitely see that his exercise book was blank.

The fact that he can still recall it now is enough to show how much of a shadow this incident left on him.

While thinking about this incident in his mind, Xia Yu wrote down the answer on the blackboard. The four-character idiom did not require much thought for him.

After the students who were called wrote their answers on the blackboard, the teacher looked at them and said with a smile: "Everyone got it right."

Hearing this, the students on stage couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and applause of praise broke out from the audience.

Xia Yu walked towards his seat as if it was a matter of course, while Xiaoying scratched her head embarrassedly.

However, when Sakura sat back in her seat, her eyes inadvertently looked at the lawn outside the window, and then in her sight, the tree on the lawn suddenly uprooted.

“Ugh!?”

The sudden change startled Sakura and she subconsciously exclaimed, and her exclamation also attracted the attention of all the students.

Noticing that all the classmates were looking at her, as well as the teacher's curious gaze, Sakura hurriedly sat back in her seat in a panic.

"Yeah, sorry."

Looking at Sakura's embarrassed look, the teacher smiled helplessly, turned back to wiping the blackboard, and said, "Then the next question is..."

Back seat.

Seeing Sakura's nervous look, Tomoyo asked quietly, "What's wrong, Sakura?"

"That's... that..."

Sakura secretly turned around and looked out the window towards the lawn. In her sight, more trees were uprooted, as if they had their own lives.

“Ugh!!!”

The louder exclamation startled the teacher, and the chalk he was writing with subconsciously scratched, and the whole class looked over again.

Noticing that she had screamed again, Sakura quickly covered her mouth and said apologetically, "S-Sorry!!"

Seeing this, Chiyo quickly reached out and poked Xia Yu in front of him. Xia Yu nodded, snapped his fingers, then looked at Sakura and asked.

"What? Something strange happened again?"

"Um, Xia, we are still in class!"

Seeing that Xia Yu actually turned around and asked her, Xiaoying waved her hands nervously, then looked at the teacher and classmates to explain.

But after looking at it this way, she found that the students continued to look at the blackboard as if nothing had happened, and the teacher started writing on the blackboard again.

"Huh? What is this?" Sakura blinked, confused for a moment.

"Huan Jiajing, from their perspective, we are listening to the class seriously, and they can't hear what we are saying."

After explaining, Xia Yu asked again: "So, what happened again?"

"Oh, that's right! Look outside the window, the trees, the trees... the trees are moving on their own!"

Looking at the panicked Sakura, Tomoyo and Xia Yu looked at each other, then stood up at the same time and walked to the window and looked out.

I saw countless big trees on the lawn outside the window uprooted and wandering around as if they had their own self-awareness.

　Holding an exercise book with nothing written on it, he went to the podium and read out the answers. This is adapted from a real event (ω)
