Chapter 391: White Tiger, Scarlet Bird, and Black Tortoise (Second Update)
For Aelio, magic was merely a tool for life. He preferred spending time with his creations, Spinel Sun and Ruby Moon, and his girlfriend, Mitsuki, enjoying a fulfilling life.
Coming here to help Sakura was also to fulfill the task left by Clow Reed in his memories.
Perhaps this was exactly what Clow Reed wanted to see.
As a child from a family of magic, Clow Reed had been subjected to rigorous magic training from a young age and spent his entire life pursuing the truth of magic.
He had missed out on many beautiful moments and left behind countless irreparable regrets.
Suzaki Aelio and Kinomoto Touya, being Clow Reed's reincarnations, were also a continuation of his life. Just as parents always hope their children can make up for their own past regrets, Clow Reed hoped that Suzaki Aelio and Kinomoto Touya would do the same for him.
Moreover, when Clow Reed made this decision, he had already seen the future outcome.
Aelio felt that Jerry was very much like Clow Reed in his memories, both deeply fascinated by magic. This led to an involuntary fondness, prompting Aelio to offer to discuss magic with him.
Hearing Aelio's response, Jerry's eyes lit up like headlights, his excitement radiating so intensely that Spinel Sun and Ruby Moon, standing beside Aelio, took a step back in fright.
While Aelio's strength was far from Clow Reed's, he still possessed Clow Reed's memories, making his theoretical knowledge of magic absolutely top-notch.
The opportunity to discuss magic with Aelio was immensely beneficial for Jerry.
How could he not be excited?
"It seems the judgment has ended!"
At that moment, Aelio seemed to sense something and looked down.
Jerry also temporarily suppressed his excitement and followed suit, looking down as well.
Below, on the iron tower, Sakura finally used her magic power to fully refine the bird-headed staff, transforming it into the Star Staff, which now belonged entirely to her. She then subdued the Judge Moon and became the true new master of the Clow Cards.
During the judgment, because Moon controlled half of the Clow Cards, Sakura could not use the other half. Additionally, since Judge Moon was actually Yue, she hesitated to use the powerful magic she had learned from Jerry, leading to a series of embarrassing defeats.
However, thanks to her ongoing magic training with Jerry, her control over magic power was much stronger than in the original story. She managed to refine the bird-headed staff into the Star Staff and complete the Moon Judgment without the help of the Moon Bell.
"Since the judgment went as expected, I'll be heading back. Next semester, I'll transfer to Tomeda Elementary School to help Sakura complete the transformation of all the Clow Cards. If Carmen wants to discuss magic, she can come directly to my residence in Tomeda Town."
Seeing Sakura successfully pass the Moon Judgment as expected, Aelio nodded in satisfaction. Although there were slight differences from what he had foreseen, the overall outcome was good.
After bidding Jerry farewell, he left with his creations, Spinel Sun and Ruby Moon.
"I thought I'd have to fight to get a proper discussion, but it turned out to be so smooth!"
After Aelio left, Jerry sighed with a hint of regret. A Phantom Shift spell then made him vanish on the spot.
The harvest of the night was truly abundant, for not only did he learn many secrets from Aelio that he had never imagined, but he also formed an initial friendship with him.
The only regret was not having the chance to spar with Aelio and see the extent of Aelio's magic prowess, as well as gauge his own current magic level.
However, it was all right because he believed there would be plenty of opportunities to spar during future interactions.
In fact, what truly left him in awe today was the realization that he had only scratched the surface of this world, despite thinking he had a good understanding of it after the "Gangster" incident.
The world he was in, "Dream", was just one of many dimensions within the Magic Pocket Realms. Surprisingly, there were over a dozen other dimensions beyond this one.
Although it was far from the multiverse of the Main World, it was still an impressive Mini World.
This unexpected discovery was a pleasant surprise, and he looked forward to the chance to explore these other dimensions, hoping to find some valuable insights.
Nine months later, inside Jerry's magic house.
"Mirror Space!"
With a light command, Jerry pulled everyone and every creature in the room into the Mirror Space.
"Truly an excellent Spatial Magic. Fighting here ensures that ordinary people won't notice, and it won't affect the real space!"
The small boy standing opposite Jerry, holding a Sun Wand, smiled and exclaimed. This boy was none other than Aelio, who had used Magic to transform into a fifth-grade student at Tomeda Elementary School and spent two semesters as a classmate of Sakura.
In Japan, schools generally have three semesters. From the end of June to early February, a span of nine months, it covered the second and third semesters.
"Given that the battle might get quite intense, it would be a shame if my house got destroyed!"
Jerry shrugged, then turned to the small white cat, red bird, and turtle floating beside him and commanded, "White Tiger, Scarlet Bird, Black Tortoise, assume your true forms!"
"Yes, Master!"
The three palm-sized creatures responded in unison, flying to the front of him. A swirl of ethereal energy enveloped them, and they transformed into a massive white tiger, a fiery scarlet bird, and a black tortoise with a hard shell.
"Reveal your true forms, Spinel Sun and Ruby Moon!"
Aelio, standing opposite, also waved his wand, transforming the black doll-like Spiri and the high school uniform-clad Ruby back to their original forms.
Over the nine months, Jerry had made significant progress in Magic through frequent interactions with Aelio, a great Mage with Clow Reed's memories.
He had also gradually created the remaining three Divine Beasts and all the planned Mahjong cards.
Today, Jerry wanted to test the strength of the three Divine Beasts, so he invited Aelio and asked the created Spiri and Ruby to assist in the test.
"Alright, let's begin!"
At Jerry's command, the three Divine Beasts—White Tiger, Scarlet Bird, and Black Tortoise—engaged in battle with Spiri and Ruby.
Spiri and Ruby used the powers of the Sun and Moon, while the three Divine Beasts wielded not ordinary Metal, Fire, and Water powers, but the more advanced Metallic Force, Flame Force, and Black Water Force, which Jerry had created by combining numerous magical texts.
In terms of power, the three Divine Beasts were not far behind Spiri and Ruby. With the advantage of three against two, they gradually gained the upper hand.
