Chapter 7 Reasons to Fight

Fang Yi specifically found a department store on the street as a temporary base for rest, so that he could easily obtain various tools and food supplies.

Nanami Kento's injuries were quite serious. Fang Yi had to rely solely on the external power of his current [Reversal Technique Level 4], his level of mana manipulation after becoming a sorcerer for less than an hour, and his relatively meager mana reserves.

It was far from enough to use the [Reversal Technique] to quickly pull people back from the brink of death like Sukuna and Otsutsuki did. He also needed to use some modern medical knowledge to pre-treat the wound.

When fighting against a large number of cyborgs, Nanami Kento already felt like he was having a last gasp, hanging on by a thread and fighting with instinct.

Now half of his body has been carbonized, and his head gives people a terrifying feeling similar to the classic villain Two-Face in "Batman".

Of course, his actual injuries were much more serious. After all, his eyeballs and skull had been burned to charcoal. If his injuries were not treated, this first-level magician would soon have to fight for his resurrection.

The treatment of [Reversal Technique] is time-limited. If the time exceeds a certain limit, many injuries cannot be recovered.

I need to find a saw and a fire axe first, and a few kitchen knives for carving meat.

Fang Yixian took out a stack of newspapers from the shelf at the door of the store and spread them on the ground as a temporary bed for his body.

Then he "borrowed" a saw from the hardware store next door, and first sawed off the half of Nanami Kento's skull that was burned to carbonization. At the same time, he used a kitchen knife and tweezers to carefully remove the burnt tissue inside the head, while using the [Reversal Technique] to maintain his life.

Activate the [Reversal Technique] to repair his skull, provide support, and then use the cursed energy to rebuild his head tissue and flesh, prioritizing restoring his ability to use the technique.

As the brain repaired, the speed at which Nanami Ken's surgery operated in his body accelerated significantly.

Fang Yi decisively used a fire axe to chop off his completely carbonized left arm, then changed to a brand new kitchen knife and cut along the bone, removing the flesh and internal organs from the torso that had been burned into carbonization.

Using the ribs and spine as a support to increase the output of the cursed power, the [Reversal Technique] was used to quickly weave the torso.

After the torso recovered, the cursed energy in Nanami Kento's body also began to recover slowly, and his entire consciousness began to recover.

Finally, the [Reversal Technique] with normal output power was used to restore his left arm, ending this bizarre operation.

Fang Yi wiped his sweat. This vivid "practical class" of [Reversal Technique] really brought him a lot of pressure.

If I were to compare it with something else, I'd sweat more than I did when I beat that blonde, ponytailed curse master.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no cursed spirits around, Fang Yi prepared to find some drinks and food to comfort himself.

He needs to replenish his energy and adjust his condition to prepare for the return mission of defeating the real person.

When Fang Yi was holding a few cans of drinks that were no longer cold and a few bags of not-so-delicious instant bread in his left hand.

As he returned to the temporary base, he was holding a paper bag in his right hand filled with shirts and jackets packed from the men's clothing store.

Nanami Kento just sat up and seemed to have regained consciousness.

He turned his head and looked around, as if trying to confirm whether he had arrived in heaven.

"Would you like a beer or a carbonated drink? The only bread left is fried noodles and bread with carbs on top of carbs. No choice. I think you need some energy."

Fang Yi paused and added.

"By the way, this isn't heaven. We're still in this shitty hellish Shibuya."

As he spoke, he handed the food to Nanami Kento and introduced himself.

"Fang Yi, an international student, became a magician with the help of Itadori Yuji ten minutes ago. What about you?"

Nanami Kento's mind flashed with the image of Fang Yi separating him from the real person, and after realizing that it was Fang Yi who saved him from the real person, he took the supplies.

He answered as he took out food and drinks.

"Nanaha Kento, a first-level magician. I don't drink carbonated drinks, so I'll have beer. I haven't tried fried noodles and bread before, but I'll give it a try this time."

Fang Yi took back the supplies and handed over the paper bag.

"A shirt, a jacket, just a set."

Nanami Kento took the paper bag, put it beside him and said nothing more.

The only sounds in the air were the two chewing their bread and the sound of their drinks sliding down their throats. Fang Yi, chewing the unpalatable bread, was about to check the changes that occurred when [Black Flash] was upgraded to [Level 5], but was interrupted by Nanami Kento's words.

"Why, having just become a sorcerer, would you risk fighting a top-tier cursed spirit like the Stitched Face Curse Spirit to save me? You shouldn't have any reason to fight."

[Because my plan to defeat the real one requires your survival.]

Fang Yi stopped chewing, took a sip of carbonated drink, and said.

"Because I could see the curse spirit there, I chose to fight. Fighting the curse spirit will also benefit me."

"After twelve years of boxing training, and suddenly possessing curse power, able to see curse spirits, and possessing the ability to kill curse spirits, isn't it natural to kill curse spirits?"

Kento Nanami shook the can, and after making sure he had finished the beer, he flattened the can, threw it in a graceful arc, and threw it into the trash can of the department store.

"Risking being killed, pushing the [Reversal Technique] to its limit, gambling your life on unleashing the elusive [Black Flash], just to save a seriously injured first-level magician like me. Do I deserve such a reward?"

He continued somewhat dejectedly.

"I'm just a first-level mage who can't do anything. I might die in the next battle. All the efforts you put in and the huge risks you take may not necessarily have corresponding meaning."

Fang Yi drank the carbonated drink and imitated Nanami Kento's throwing action, throwing the can into the trash can, but it fell outside the can.

He stood up and put the can into the trash can while answering.

"Discussing 'meaning' involves philosophical terms and existentialism, which, unfortunately, I don't quite understand."

"But Mr. Nanami, my master once told me this when I was practicing boxing."

Fang Yi recalled the afternoon when he started practicing boxing and the words that he would never forget.

"The boxing style I practice is a martial art, and martial arts is a technique, a technique that allows the weak to seize an opportunity to strike the strong. Martial arts have nothing to do with good or evil, and they have no meaning."

"I think cursed power is the same as cursed jutsu. It's a technique or a tool that allows people to punch cursed spirits and exorcise them."

"I saved you only because I wanted to and was able to do so. It has no meaning."

"Mr. Nanami's injuries were probably caused by a special-grade cursed spirit, right? If we were to judge a battle like this by its meaning, it would only yield empty answers."

Fang Yi swallowed the last bite of bread and concluded.

"I believe that sorcerers don't always encounter cursed spirits weaker than themselves. When faced with these powerful monsters, some people always choose to fight, which is more difficult than running away. It's also difficult to think about whether these battles have any meaning."

"So, why can't that person be me?"

[If it weren't for the return mission requiring me to defeat the real person, I would definitely be the first one to run away if I saw him.]

Fang Yi's expression turned serious and he continued.

"When a person is killed, he will die. When a cursed spirit is killed, it will also die."

"There's no need to search for some illusory meaning or value. The very presence of the cursed spirit is the reason for my fighting."

[There's no choice. The return mission requires fighting real people. I can only continue to gamble my life.]

As Fang Yi's words fell.

The reminder sound of the reincarnation space sounded.

[Nanaha Kento]'s friendship level increased to [85/100].

[Very good, this level of friendship should be no problem in my plan.] Fang Yi was secretly delighted.

After listening to this, Nanami Kento stopped talking, but silently opened the paper bag, unpacked it and put on his shirt.

Fang Yi stopped talking and turned to study the branch enhancement produced after [Black Flash] reached [lv5].
