Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 88 Zhuang Wu's Magic Talent

"I'm so sorry, Sogo, magic may not be for you!"

Saying this, Masao Haruto shook his head and sighed, took out the red envelope of Sogo Tokiwa's apprenticeship from his pocket, put it gently on the table, got up and left.

At the same time, there is also the white ball that he used to perform at the dining table two days ago.

Does Sogo Tokiwa have no talent for magic?
To be honest, there are still.

It's just that Cao Zhenqing gave a very pertinent evaluation of his magic talent as "very regrettable".

Tokiwa Sogo didn't believe in evil at first.

Magic, isn't it all about quick eyesight and quick hands?Stay glued, stay glued.

However, two days later, Sogo Tokiwa, who did not believe in evil, finally turned into a haggard face with no highlights in his eyes.

"Hehe, it's okay, anyway, I'm already a 'physics scumbag' and a 'game idiot', but I just added another title of 'magic incompetent'."

Tokiwa Sogo, whose mentality has collapsed, began to say this sentence when he met people in the nine-to-five hall that day. Among them, Tsukuyomi, who was "encountered" the most times, was really annoyed and couldn't stand it. Finally, he couldn't hold it back. Angrily drove him out from the nine-to-five class.

"Ugh……"

In the park, Sogo Tokiwa, who was sitting alone on the swing, let out a long and sad sigh.

"Is there no one to comfort me?"

He looked up at the sky, then rubbed his stomach, wondering if it was almost dinner time, should he go back?
At this moment, a mature uncle's voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"Oh? Boy, have you encountered any unhappy things?"

Tokiwa Sogo looked in the direction of the sound, and immediately couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

"No way... Uncle, how did you do it?"

I saw an extra swing exactly like the one he was sitting on on the empty sand beside him. An uncle wearing a black top hat and exquisite handmade tuxedo was swinging in sync with him, with a smile on his face. Looking at him with a warm smile.

"Hmm~~ How did you do it? Actually, I don't know how it appeared, it just came out with a 'whoosh'."

Hearing the uncle's words as if coaxing a child, Sogo Tokiwa immediately became annoyed.

"Hey, uncle, I'm 18 years old this year."

The uncle smiled without stopping at the words: "Oh, is it such a coincidence? I am 36 years old this year."

Seeing the uncle's teasing smile pretending to be shocked, Sogo Tokiwa felt speechless.

Uncle, are you so interesting?

I said that I am an adult, not a child, but you re-examined and said that you are exactly one and a half years older than me... Isn't it amazing to be old?Is it okay to treat people as children when they are old?
But on second thought...well, in a joke scene, teasing other people as if they were kids, it's really special when you're older.

Therefore, not to be angry, but to be very depressed.

So, looking at Tokiwa Sogo who was leaning on his forehead and sighing, the uncle laughed and continued: "Look, since I have told you my answer, shouldn't you also answer my question?"

"But your answer is false, to coax children."

The uncle shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't coax you, but if you insist on thinking so, I can't help it, so why don't you make up one to coax me now? I don't care."

Seeing the hateful expression of "I'm much more magnanimous than you" on the uncle's face, Sogo Tokiwa really gritted his teeth with hatred.

However, after calming down, he didn't make it up, but simply said something that he was learning magic but couldn't learn it anyway.

Finally, he took out the prop used for magic performances from his pocket - a small white ball.

Meditate on this magic door, throw it up, and let it spin and float above the palm of your hand.

However, this small white ball kept staggering like a drunken man, and soon he let go of himself like a wild horse. In his expression of "it really has become like this" He ejected out of the palm of his hand.

But at this moment, the little ball that had been flying out to embrace freedom suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then flew back straight as if being pulled by some force.

"Eh--??!!!"

Sogo Tokiwa's originally depressed mood instantly became elevated!
Then the rising tone of the "eh" sound began to drop when his round eyes saw that the ball did not return to his palm but flew over the uncle's palm.

"Why?"

"Well~~ why?"

"Huh? Come again?"

Seeing the uncle's pensive look that seemed familiar, the corners of Sogo Tokiwa's mouth couldn't help twitching.

This tangled appearance immediately made the uncle laugh heartily.

After a long time, he stopped laughing, glanced at the white ball floating in his hand with a little nostalgia, then let it fall, and handed it back to Sogo Tokiwa.

"Here, then."

Then he continued: "Although 'teach magic without cost' is a commandment for magicians, but I am in a good mood today, so I will teach you a lesson."

Then he almost broke apart and crushed all the essentials and tricks of this little magic to Sogo Tokiwa.

Hearing that, Sougi Tokiwa was like enlightenment, and suddenly realized, he immediately threw the ball and started experimenting, and then... RouOOOO~~~~ The white ball flew away.

Tokiwa Sogo: "..."

Tuxedo uncle: "???"

It stands to reason that since Sogo Tokiwa can levitate the white ball, it means Sogo Tokiwa has already achieved half of the success, so the talent must be there, but why he is so broken and Sogo Tokiwa still can't complete it?Can't control it?

The uncle in the tuxedo looked at Sogo Tokiwa with a sad expression on his face, and just looked at him without saying a word.

So Tokiwa Sogo realized it.

Because Fuck Zhenqing saw him that way before.

So it quickly returned to the state of self-abandonment, and looked a lot sadder than it was at the beginning.

This made the expression of the tuxedo uncle a little awkward.

"sorry."

"No, no, no, this is my problem. Uncle, you don't need to apologize. Instead, I should thank you. 'It's not free to teach magic'. Although I didn't learn it, I appreciate it."

He put away the ball, swayed the swing again, and looked at the sky. After a while, he suddenly asked: "Hey, uncle, do you believe in the existence of magic?"

The man in the tuxedo next to him was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Ah, I believe it."

"That's right...then, do you think I can become a magician?"

"No, in this world, there will only be one magician!"

"Eh? Are you so sure?"

After listening to the answer from the tuxedo uncle, Sogo Tokiwa turned his head with a smile, looked at the swing and the tuxedo man who had disappeared beside him, and asked softly, as if there was another swing there, and there was a tuxedo uncle who liked to tease young people.
