Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"That's right." Little Grove pointed to Professor Forsell in the seat in front of him and said in a low voice: "I just saw that Professor Forsell killed someone."

Bona Conn showed a hint of surprise, then shook her head: "It's none of our business, just don't worry about it."

"But...shouldn't we call the police?"

"Call the police? What do you want to say? Tell the police that you discovered the murder using magic?"

"Then just ignore it like this?"

"Otherwise, what will you do? Be careful that some research institution discovers your ability and then captures you as a test subject."

"Are there many such agencies that will catch people like us?"

"Yes, there are a lot of them, so you must not expose yourself."

Forget it, your own life still matters.

The bus stopped outside Sandro National Park. Because it was not fully opened yet, there were not many people here.

The edge of Sandro National Park is a living area with shopping malls, supermarkets, and hotels and restaurants.

Of course, visitors to Sandro National Park do not come here to enjoy hotel restaurants.

Most people come here for camping and mountain climbing adventures.

The leader of the group is Nicholas, the school's security director.

The students all gathered together, and after Nicholas said a few words, the students were allowed to move freely.

Everyone can do whatever they want.

After all, they are all adults and everyone has their own opinions.

Once the gathering time was announced, the students were completely disbanded.

Everyone left in twos and threes.

Some students plan to camp in the park's wilderness.

Some students plan to spend the night in a hotel.

Little Grove acted together with Bona Conn.

"Bonna, what are we going to do now?"

"I came to participate in this event because it is said that this forest has natural essence, and I came here to find the natural essence."

"What is natural essence?" Little Grove asked curiously.

"It is a supernatural substance bred from the forest. It is similar to some kind of moving plant. It has lower intelligence and hides from humans. It is not a natural psychic. If you obtain the natural essence, you can contact it. Natural magic." Bona Conn said: "I am a witch of the illusion department and want to learn natural magic."

"Can I study then?"

"If we find enough natural essence, we can share some with you." Bona Conn said, "But you'd better learn your own talent magic now."

"Then when will you teach me magic?"

"Whenever you call me teacher, I will teach you magic."

"Uh..." Little Grove looked at Bona Conn. It was really awkward for him to ask a girl younger than him to be his teacher.

"Bona...teacher."

"Okay, let's go." Bona Conn led Little Grove into the forest.

"Teacher Bona, how do we find the natural essence?"

"Don't worry, it's still early. Let's find a place to rest first and wait until night falls before taking action."

"Does the natural essence only come out at night?"

"right."

The two set up two tents beside a small stream and lit a fire.

When lighting a fire in the wild, you need to be aware of safety precautions.

If there is a fire in the woods, you will face huge compensation.

There was once a young man who caused tens of millions of dollars in losses by setting fire in the forest, and this loss was borne by the young man himself.

This is not a problem that can be solved by going to jail. Sometimes, compensation is more desperate than going to jail.

Tens of millions of dollars in compensation is enough to ruin a person's entire life.

They are not allowed to fly, buy luxury goods, or even enter restaurants where the per capita consumption exceeds eighty US dollars.

However, most teenagers in the United States have a relatively strong sense of prevention.

The United States has more than 20,000 summer camps, and tens of millions of teenagers attend summer camps every year.

In this regard, the United States is far ahead of the world.

The sky began to darken, and the two of them sat in front of the fire and started chatting after eating something.

"Are there many people like us in this world?" Little Grove asked.

"Not many, maybe one or two out of 100,000 people, and most of the awakened psychics are weaker than you." Bona Conn said: "They are actually the same as those who are not awakened, at most I just see evil spirits.”

"Evil spirit? Is it scary?" Little Grove looked at Bona Conn with some fear.

"Once you get used to it, you don't feel scared anymore. I woke up when I was five years old." Bona Conn said, "But I have teachers around me to teach me, so I have never experienced fear."

"What about your teacher?"

"Dead." Bona Conn replied: "Every psychic has his own inheritance. My teacher taught me magic, and then I will teach you and pass on my inheritance."

"Can I also learn your magic?" Little Grove asked.

"As long as you can learn it, or I know it, I can teach it to you, but the magic power of wizards is much weaker than that of witches." Bona Conn said: "Just because you have learned it doesn't mean you can use it. "

"Is there no way to increase your magic power?"

"There are some ways, but they are very difficult." Bona Conn said: "I came to Los Angeles because I heard that there are many powerful psychics and organizations here, and I hope to join these organizations."

“What organizations are there in Los Angeles?”

"I don't know about other organizations, but I know there is a Supernatural Association, an organization formed by a group of supernatural people. They have participated in many operations and have maintained the security and stability of Los Angeles. I hope to join the Supernatural Association."

"Then I will also participate." Little Grove said.

"They don't recruit everyone. It's impossible for someone like you who has just awakened and has almost no fighting ability to join the Supernatural Association."

"Are there any requirements to join the Supernatural Association?" Little Grove asked curiously.

"First of all, it must have a certain degree of combat effectiveness, or be able to provide certain assistance to the team." Bona Conn said: "I don't know the specific process, but I have heard my friends talk about the Supernatural Association, so in I need to improve my skills before going for an interview with the Supernatural Society.”

"Bo Na...Teacher, I will help you. I will definitely help you join the Supernatural Association."

"You can't help." Bona Conn shook her head: "Forget it, let's find the natural essence first. Without the natural essence, it is impossible for me to join the Supernatural Association."
