Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

[Hartleice touched Hephaestion's back with her fingers, easily dispelling the effects of the Demon Eye.]

Hephaestion: "Because that gaunt magician once used a similar trick to break my magic eye."

[Aozaki Touko: "I see. Should we complain to El-Melloi II about this? What are we going to do about carefully teaching a stronger enemy such deception?"]

Hephaestion: "Alright, should I just cut off your head with this sword, or would it be better to order you to commit suicide? While the scope of orders that can be enforced is broad, if I give you any overly complex orders, you might use this time to set up new traps."

[Aozaki Touko: "It's an honor to receive such high praise from you. As a magician, I'm more than satisfied with that. Just cut off my head already."]

"Faker, don't kill her."

Hartles spoke up: "That's a trap. Aozaki Touko has an ace up her sleeve that can be activated with her own death. If it's activated here, you, me, and the current members of the Modern Magic Department could all die together."

Upon hearing this, Hephaestion immediately stopped.

Koles: "Is it the monster that appeared at the end of the Twin Towers?"

Weber: "That thing is indeed very dangerous."

[Aozaki Touko: "Tsk! You saw everything that happened in Izeluma, didn't you?"]

[Hartles: "To have the opportunity to witness the exquisite skills of a Grand Magus is an unparalleled honor. Although it's a bit of a pity to have used up the cursed energy, since it was used on such exquisite magic, there's nothing I can do about it."]

[Aozaki Touko: "Your goal isn't to destroy the Modern Magic Department, is it? If so, you could have just used that tank to ravage the entire area. It was the same just now; if you thought we were in your way, you could have just run us over with that tank. Why didn't you do that, and instead headed to Albion?"]

Hartles: "What do you think the reason is?"

[Aozaki Touko: "You haven't answered my question about your disciple yet, have you?"]

Hartles: "..."

[Aozaki Touko: "Although I couldn't say it before, I heard that a body appeared at the Secret Corpse Dissection Bureau today. It seems to be your disciple, Karl. I have an answer regarding that body."]

"...As expected, you're the only one who's truly terrifying, Aozaki Touko."

Hartres said sternly, "Faker, freeze her out."

Hephaestion: "Alright."

Rin Tohsaka: "These two are playing cryptic games again."

Kenneth: "Hartres is a little panicked. It seems that Aozaki Touko hit the nail on the head."

Weber: "This also shows that Karl's death was not so simple."

Just as Hephaestion was about to make his move, Reines did.

"—Now! Trimmau!"

[The mercury armor on Sphinx activated, forming blades that struck Hephaestion's cheek, forcing him to retreat and blink instinctively.]

[The Moon Spirit Essence, lacking eyes, is not under the control of Hephaestion's Demon Eye, which is why Reines has been waiting for this opportunity.]

Although it was only for a moment, it was more than enough.

The swarm of crystal mayflies that had fallen to the ground all revived and took flight, emitting strange lights and projecting enormous images onto the ground.

[Aozaki Touko: "You've shown me something good. So, I should return the favor, shouldn't I?"]

A strange cry came from beside her feet, and the image seemed to be peeled off the ground and appear in the three-dimensional world.

[Back at the Twin Towers, Aozaki Touko's familiar was a silhouette cat projected by a projector. Only a few months later, has this genius already devised her next magic trick?]

This time, instead of relying on a single projector, multiple projector-type familiars will project the new familiars.

"Alright, how will you respond this time, Magician of the Age of Gods?"

Fiore: "A beautiful counterattack."

Kenneth: "Hmm, Reines did a good job, she really found the weakness in the Magic Eye."

Shishikage Kairi: "But what has Aozaki Touko come up with this time?"

Rin Tohsaka: "This monster looks really strong."

Just as Aozaki Touko was preparing to counterattack, the ground suddenly began to shake violently.

【earthquake? 】

No, this is not just a simple earthquake; Reines has already seen a change in the magic.

"Is it time to move out?!"

Hartres shouted, "Faker! You left Albion and are about to return. If this continues, we'll be left behind!"

【"Tsk──"】

Hephaestion curled his lip, immediately urging his chariot forward towards the spatial rift.

[How could Aozaki Touko let them leave like that? The familiar alien flew past, its shadow claws directly slashing the enemy's chariot.]

The ground trembled more and more violently. Just then, something landed at Reines's feet. She looked down and saw that it was an antique gold coin.

[It looks like it fell off Hephaestion's chariot.]

But there's no time to think about that now.

"Boom!!!"

"Princess, run!"

The screen suddenly went completely black.

Koles: "Hey, really?! Could he be buried?"

Kenneth: "Stop jinxing them. They still have energy left, and with Aozaki Touko, a Grand Magician, there's no way they'll be in trouble."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Hartres has completely entered Albion."

Lion Jie Li: "Next, we'll probably have to go to Albiany to settle this once and for all."

Weber: "But Hephaestion seems to have dropped a gold coin, and it looks like there's a human head on it."

The Conqueror King: "I didn't see it clearly, it should be the gold coins from when I was alive."

[When the screen lit up again, Queen II and Grey, having received the news, had arrived in Sla.]

Looking at the streets now reduced to ruins, who would imagine that this was once his teaching place?

"Was it Faker and Harrell who caused all of this...?"

The Second Prince's face was extremely grim. He staggered into the ruins, one hand pressed against his chest.

His stomach problems are turning into heart problems.

Rin Tohsaka: "I feel sorry for the second one. He looks like he might faint at any moment."

Koles: "His health wasn't very good to begin with."

【"teacher!"】

Just then, a familiar figure ran over—it was Flat.

The Second Prince hurriedly asked, "What happened? How are the other students and lecturers?"

[Flatter: "Let me think. I took all the students to safety as Little Reines requested. Although I don't know the situation of Sphinx and Little Reines who went to investigate, everyone else, including the lecturers, is safe and sound."]

[Second King: "Reines's instructions...?"]

Chapter 339 The Cowardly El-Melloi II

"Oh, you're back, Second Generation."

At that moment, an elderly man with sparse gray hair and a goatee walked over; he was none other than Mr. Charles, the substitute teacher.

[Second Generation: "Is the old gentleman also safe and sound?"]

[Sharl: "Hahaha. Because you instructed us to strengthen Sla's defenses, right? Almost none of the personnel in the facility were injured."]

The Second Prince nodded and asked Flat, "Flat, which place did Sphen and Reines go to investigate?"

[Flatter pointed to the old school building, and the Second Prince's expression immediately turned grim again.]

That was the epicenter of the destruction.

[The Second Prince swayed as he tried to go over, but Gray quickly stopped him, saying, "No, Teacher! We don't even know what happened yet!"]

[Second Generation: "How could I not go! They are my sworn sister and my student!"]

Rin Tohsaka: "Oh, I see. I thought the Second Prince was always so calm and collected."

Weber: "How could one not be moved knowing that a loved one is in danger?"

Rin Tohsaka: "After all, you've always given off an overly mature vibe."

Shiki Jie Li: "But they actually strengthened Sera's defenses in advance. Did they anticipate this would happen?"

Weber: "No, it should just be a precaution."

"Hmm, you love me so much that my face is burning with shyness. It's a pity you can't find me in the old school building."

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere; it was Reines.

"Although the situation was quite dangerous, Sphinx managed to protect me and we escaped. Well, although Sphinx is receiving treatment, we're both alright, so please don't worry."

Seeing that they were all alright, the Second Prince finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Gray immediately hugged him.

"Alright, alright."
