Witches

The reason I am here is that my neighbor asked me to help as a monitor for a group of scouts. Since I was young, I've always had good leadership, charm, and natural charisma, clearly evident in my presence and my strong voice, which has been enhanced over time along with a few passive effects from my mental and ancient powers.

I calmly clapped my hands to get everyone's attention, infusing a bit of my internal energy into my voice.

*"Clap Clap"* 

*"Please, everyone, stay calm. Although this is a trip for fun and exploration, I ask that you all be cautious with the plants and animals mentioned in your guides. You have a manual with some of them, so please stay alert."* 

*"In particular, be careful with snakes and where you place your hands."*

They listened to me intently. Some clearly wanted to let their attention drift, but my voice was quite effective in holding their focus, even carrying a slight mental influence to maintain control.

After they listened to my instructions, the scout leader and another monitor approached me. 

*"It's really impressive how you have control over them... it always amazes me. You've been like this since you were a child,"* the leader said in awe. 

*"Really? They were so rebellious with me... must be because of your appearance,"* murmured the young monitor, glancing at my face before quickly looking away with a blush.

I paid no attention to it whatsoever, and besides, I was already spoken for. The scout leader sighed on behalf of the young woman's heart, not knowing that I already had someone in mine.

*"Let's get started; everyone, stay alert,"* the leader announced, and we began walking through the woods. We all stayed together as we ventured into the forest. Periodically, I surveyed the area with my eyes and Haki to ensure the kids' safety. Occasionally, I spotted a small frog or a venomous snake and discreetly threw a Qi-charged stone to drive it away. If I saw them approaching dangerous plants or moss, I quietly intervened and redirected them.

We walked for about 25 minutes, then took a break. We had some cookies and juice for about 10 minutes before continuing.

I drank orange juice and ate some delicious macadamia cookies. However, as we resumed walking, I felt something odd... a strange mist began to surround us, and I could tell it wasn't entirely natural. As we moved, my brow began to furrow; with the mist thickening, I started feeling slightly dizzy. Whispers, or perhaps murmurs, seemed to fill my mind and ears, something deep within my soul and consciousness appearing to be manipulated or altered...

My vision started to blur...and gradually, my senses, along with those around me, seemed to drift away. But at that moment, something within my mental space seemed to awaken. A divine turtle's cry echoed within, and a silver crown cast a faint light, dispelling the effect that had been trying to ensnare me.

Realizing my previous state, my gaze turned icy, and I intended to use my eyes and Haki to survey the environment. 

*'Master. Don't do that for now.'*

Hearing the voice, I took a deep breath and continued moving in a trance-like state. 

*'What was that, Black Turtle? Do you know what caused this?'* I communicated with it telepathically.

*'It seemed to be a mental power with a soul-affecting aspect. It's not an outright powerful use, but it's cleverly crafted… It doesn't seem like the telepaths you've encountered. Perhaps it's more like those sorcerers... but there's something different about it. Unfortunately, I can't identify it precisely.'*

I nodded. It didn't seem like a mutant power or anything similar. Besides sorcerers, I knew there were beings like demons or witches... it could even be a deity, but I found that less likely. I continued feigning enchantment, following the path ahead.

Soon we entered a part of the forest filled with tangled branches and dead trees, in the midst of which stood two hooded women. 

*"Our guests have arrived."* 

*"Yes, they seem to have strong energy and even resilient souls."* 

Of course, they couldn't sense my soul or mental power because I had gone to great lengths to conceal it.

I utilized divine power, Zetsu, and an ability from my heritage of the Black Lotus Phantom Clan to mask my aura and presence. As such, I appeared as an ordinary, even unremarkable person. If a direct ability were used on me, they might see through it, but for now, I didn't plan to act.

They waited for each of us to enter the center of the strange circle. In the corners, I saw what looked like runes or unusual symbols. I felt magic and an odd energy emanating from them, and I realized there was a clear difference between the sorcerers' power and my internal energy… I was eager to read their minds and understand their magic… though I might not be able to use it due to system-imposed limitations and the different principles governing my abilities.

At that moment, my lovely and adorable system decided to take action.

Here is the translation with corrections for clarity and coherence:

Mission: The Evil Witches' Ritual

Objective:

- Stop the current witches from draining people's life energy and souls. 

- Discover and gather information about their magic. 

- Eliminate the witches. 

Reward upon completion:

- Beginner Witch Kit (Harry Potter): 1 Random Wand, Basic books and knowledge of charms, curses, and general witchcraft + Harry Potter Movie 1, virtual reality imitation from Black Internet Coffee System (viewable once a day, with the ability to pause and rewind 5 times).

Description:

Two terrifying women, witches who wield dark magic, are controlling the students' minds and appear to be using their vital and fundamental energies to strengthen themselves. Defeat them and seize the opportunity to become a wizard in the HP world.

Seeing the mission, I was able to confirm they were witches, though their demeanor and appearance already hinted at it. Moreover, the reward was very enticing—HP magic uses my soul as an anchor and my mental power as a guide, allowing me to cast a variety of spells. It may not be as powerful as some other forms of magic or abilities, but it is quite useful. As I expand my knowledge and abilities as a wizard, it could become not only versatile but also formidable in combat and other ways.

The movie and virtual reality component would also help me feel the flow of energy and witness spellcasting in a realistic and immersive way. Of course, the kit is just a beginner's, but given the system's nature, whether through missions or as I study, practice, and improve my skills, the system will reward me with opportunities to make my magic stronger.

I smiled, and this time I looked at the witches, not with caution or attention, but as if I were looking at two treasures. Of course, I quickly disguised my gaze, hoping they wouldn't notice anything. I concealed my presence even further, as small sparks of orange and red fire began to flicker from my hands, subtly targeting specific points.

"Let's begin,"they both intoned, speaking in an ancient, unique language. At the same time, their fingers began to move, forming sigils, and a black and red energy started emanating from their hands.
