Let's turn back time a bit...
After using the restroom, Fang Wuwei intended to head back. His original plan was to find a suitable time to bid farewell to Yuta and the others and leave first. He had more plans for Christmas than just this event... He was also going to a Christmas yacht party.
He yawned and was about to head back... but on the way, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.
There was a Magic Power Perception... Though very faint, there was still a Magic Power Perception.
The Magic Power Perception was quite obvious, like a pool of still water, incredibly calm, yet suddenly a Ripple appeared. Anyone looking would surely notice it, no matter how small that Ripple was.
Fang Wuwei looked towards the source of the Magic Power Perception, feeling a sense of unease in his heart at that moment.
The Magic Power Perception appeared too suddenly, without any prior warning... This was quite abnormal. Even when he used native magic, the perception would go from weak to strong, but this Magic Power Perception appeared out of thin air...
Setting aside other things for now, the mere fact that there was a Magic Power Perception in the Totsukami family was enough for him to investigate, especially after learning about the existence of true magical families like Ikenouchi in this world.
The waters of this world run deep. Fang Wuwei immediately decided to put other matters aside and deal with this one first.
He was now skilled and daring. According to his perception, that Magic Power Perception was quite weak, probably unable to break his defense now, let alone Susanoo.
Ever since he activated his Mangekyo, his ocular power had become incredibly strong. Before, he could barely maintain the second stage and couldn't even pull out a Totsuka-no-Tsurugi. But now... how about a two-hundred-meter-tall super Gundam Susanoo?
From Fang Wuwei's perspective, the source of the Magic Power Perception was a wall. He walked up and knocked on it twice. Based on the feel and the crisp sound, Fang Wuwei determined it was a solid wall. He placed his hand on it, and energy flowed from his hand into the wall.
His hand on the wall became a bridge connecting Fang Wuwei to the wall, allowing him to infuse something into it—Ripple.
The speed of Ripple transmission through solid objects was not fast, and it would dissipate quickly, making it difficult for signals to return. Using Ripple to measure the wall was indeed a very unwise choice.
However, the one using this method was Fang Wuwei, who possessed powerful Magic Power Perception, a vast magic capacity, and strong Ripple intensity.
Fang Wuwei's Ripple volume was enormous, greater than any manga volume. With his continuous generation and transmission of Ripple, in just a few minutes, he had almost spread Ripple throughout every corner of the Totsukami family's walls.
With his Magic Power Perception fully activated, Fang Wuwei, relying on these Ripples, understood the structure of the house. At the same time, through the Ripple's information, he 'saw' that both the floors and the walls of this house were solid.
This meant there were no false walls. Trying to find it by just walking around... that would be difficult.
But what else could he do? He had to do it. What else?
Fang Wuwei glanced at the direction where Yuta and the others were, then recalled the direction where the Magic Power Perception had just appeared and the architectural blueprint in his mind, and began to move in that direction.
At least knowing the direction would make finding things easier.
As Fang Wuwei began to move, the servants scattered throughout the mansion had already noticed something was off about him.
All the servants were trusted confidantes of the Totsukami family... This was the Totsukami family's main residence. Both the butler and the maids here were mostly people the Totsukami family Master trusted.
If anyone else were wandering around here, they would almost instantly be apprehended and sent to the Totsukami family Master. But this person was the best friend of their most cherished daughter... For their daughter's sake, they dared not act rashly, especially since he was just a high school student. What could he do?
Holding such a dismissive thought, the old butler in the mansion actively went to find Fang Wuwei, who seemed to be wandering but actually had a clear destination.
He thought Fang Wuwei was just lost, but... this might have been the worst decision he ever made.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
The butler came before Fang Wuwei, blocking his path, with a gentle smile on his face. Everyone in the household adored the little darling Totsuka, so they naturally treated Totsuka's friends with courtesy.
"The Young Lady's arranged room is over there, sir. You've gone completely the wrong way."
"Is that so...?"
Fang Wuwei took off his sunglasses, looking at the gentle and elegant butler before him, seemingly observing him carefully.
Seizing this opportunity, the butler also noticed his unusual eyes—that strange, crimson eye, and his right eye with its somewhat ominous, peculiar pattern... But before the butler could get a closer look, Fang Wuwei put his sunglasses back on.
"Could you please lead the way? I have no sense of direction, and this mansion is so big, I really can't find my way..."
"Of course." The butler's face showed a perfectly polite smile. He placed one hand on his chest and bowed slightly to the man taller than him. "It's our duty."
"Much obliged."
The butler bowed again, then turned and left, leading Fang Wuwei towards his destination. The butler breathed a huge sigh of relief.
It seemed the Young Lady's friend was truly just lost, and there was no need for excessive worry. This was certainly for the best.
"Akira... zzzzt..."
This person is probably the same as the so-called Master of the Young Lady who visited before. Chuunibyou or something... quite cute.
"Akita... zzzzt... you're..."
The butler walked ahead, but kept hearing some rustling sounds. Just as he frowned, a hand suddenly appeared in his peripheral vision from the side.
In astonishment, the butler quickly moved two steps forward, creating distance while swiftly turning back to stare at Fang Wuwei. However, he saw Fang Wuwei merely standing still, smiling, with three fingers of the hand that had been extended to his side now tightly clasped.
"Mr. Butler, there was a fly. It was buzzing just now."
Hearing this, the butler also began to relax... Right, he was just a high school kid. What could he do? He wasn't like those people...
"My apologies! To think there would be a fly here..."
The butler quickly stepped forward, pulling a handkerchief from his suit jacket and approaching. Fang Wuwei cooperated by extending his hand, and a fly dropped to the ground.
"Ah..."
"Don't worry about it, sir. Someone will take care of it, right away."
He stepped forward and personally used the handkerchief to wipe Fang Wuwei's hand, again and again, with such focus and a hint of indebtedness... He felt he hadn't performed his service well.
As for the fly on the ground, after the butler put the handkerchief back into his jacket pocket, he reached out and placed his hand on his shoulder. He was going to use the intercom to call a servant to dispose of the fly.
Hmm...? Where's my intercom?
The butler, finding nothing, was a bit stunned, but before he could think, Fang Wuwei urged him to move forward.
A voice told him... This wasn't important.
So the butler continued to lead Fang Wuwei forward, while inexplicably beginning to say things he shouldn't have, making Fang Wuwei continuously exclaim "Sugoi!", which greatly satisfied the butler.
Yes, an ordinary person should be like this.
The butler's smile grew wider as he and Fang Wuwei disappeared at the end of the corridor. Behind them lay a crushed intercom, and countless servants and bodyguards in black suits standing dazedly in place, their eyes vacant, like imbeciles.
