I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

Ryougi Mana was also thinking about how best to bring this up... so she talked as she walked.

At the same time, I was looking for the best time to say it.

"Ok?"

As the two were walking, Ryougi Mana spotted a familiar figure, one of the few people she knew in Academy City.

He wore a white shirt tied at the waist, jeans with only one leg, the other cut off at the top of the thigh, and a long command knife in his hand.

Such attire did not attract much attention from those around them as they walked through Academy City.

Until the two realms of mana cast their gaze upon it...

"Huh? That person..." Saten Ruiko followed Ryougi Mana's gaze and saw the woman.

“That’s a friend of mine, isn’t it?” Ryougi Suna smiled and took Saten Ruiko’s hand, saying, “Since you’ve seen her, let’s go say hello.”

"Um... um, okay!" Saten Ruiko nodded and followed, but... something just felt off.

There's something off about this person...

"It's been a while, Ms. Kanzaki."

"Hmm... Ah, it's Mona." Kanzaki Kaori paused for a moment before speaking.

The unusual behavior caused a question mark to appear above Liangyi Mana's head.

It's not what I expected... Kanzaki Kaori is a very perceptive person. She had set up a spell on herself to make those around her ignore her, but at this moment, someone broke through the spell and discovered her.

She should have discovered it immediately.

but...

She was walking somewhat mechanically, but she was lost in thought... and didn't notice Ryougi Mana and Saten Ruiko at all.

If Ryougi Muna hadn't spoken up, even if I had followed her the whole time, she probably wouldn't have reacted at all.

"I remember you came to Academy City to find someone, right? How's it going?"

"Hmm..." Kanzaki Kaori nodded: "The person has indeed been found... but there was a slight mishap during the process. Stiyl has taken care of it now, so it should be fine... probably."

Kanzaki Kaori clenched her hands and said uncertainly.

It wasn't that I was worried about Stiyl's power, but rather some other reasons...

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Are you adjusting well to Academy City?" Kanzaki Kaori smiled at Saten Ruiko standing to the side. "Looks like you've made some friends."

"Yes, I've made some friends."

"Um..." Kanzaki Kaori didn't know what to say, her mind was a little confused: "Well then, I have to go now... Have fun."

Watching Kanzaki Kaori disappear without a trace, Ryougi Suna sighed inwardly and said to Saten Ruiko, "Alright, let's go."

"Ah."

Saten Ruiko nodded, and not long after, she heard Ryougi Mana say beside her, "This is really troublesome... Saten-kun."

"what happened?"

"Actually, you have the Illusionist, don't you?"

"Ugh?"

Chapter 1198 The New Stand User (Part Two)

Liangyi Mana thought about it but couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

So I simply...

Okay, let's just say it directly.

It's better to just say it than to overthink it.

"Huh?" Saten Ruiko was a little confused by Ryougi Mana's words, but she quickly recovered and gave a wry smile, saying, "Ryougi-kun has already figured it out..."

"Is this what you wanted to say before?"

"Hmm..." Saten Ruiko smiled and said, "What does Ryougi-kun think? Something like Gensokyo Mikoto..."

“Well,” Ryougi Mana thought for a moment and said, “I haven’t experienced it myself and I don’t know anything about it… Oh right, I should ask my dad, and he should know. Besides… I think it would be better to try awakening a Stand ability than to use Imagine Breaker.”

"Stand... ability?"

“Okay!” Ryougi Mona nodded and said, “Come with me, I’ll take you to my house and ask my dad, and we’ll also see if you can awaken your Stand ability.”

......

the next day--

Saten Ruiko pushed open the dormitory window, stretched, looked at the sunlight outside, and yawned: "Hmm—"

"Phew...what a sunny day."

For some reason, she felt the weather was exceptionally nice today.

A faint figure appeared beside her slightly clenched hand, but quickly disappeared: "Oh right, I forgot yesterday. I'll give the Imagine Might and Magic to Kuroko today. That should make a lot of progress in my investigation of her."

She no longer needs a fantasy master.

I'm going out.

With that, Saten Ruiko, having changed into casual clothes, went out.

She jogged along, eager to see Uiharu Kazari, eager to see Shirai Kuroko, and eager to see Misaka Mikoto so she could tell them how she felt.

It was too late yesterday.

Even so, she didn't sleep well, tossing and turning in bed.

I feel like I have dark circles under my eyes.

Although it is actually an illusion... a hallucination unique to women.

Looking at her own weight of 90 pounds, she kept saying that she was fat and needed to lose weight. She went to bed a little later, and the next morning she insisted that she had dark circles under her eyes. Even though she couldn't see them, she kept asking, "Do I have crow's feet?"

There's nothing there, you can't see anything at all!

However, none of this could calm her current agitated state of mind.

"Didn't you say... you'd give me the Tempest Mage?"

"well?"

Hearing the voice coming from the side, Saten Ruiko paused slightly, then looked over and swallowed hard.

I walked over and took a quick look at the situation there, and my heart skipped a beat.

Three people are surrounding one person... and that person seems to be injured.

"I'll call the disciplinary committee member or the security guard first... Ah, it's out of battery." Looking at her phone, Saten Ruiko was slightly taken aback. She was too excited last night and forgot to charge it.

"In situations like this... wait a minute."

Saten Ruiko paused for a moment, looking at her hands: "I'm different now than I was yesterday... I now possess... power."

If that's the case—

Moreover, his own strength is not weak.

This was a power that surprised Ryougi Mana, as well as her father, Ryougi Kazuya.

Although those three guys seem pretty strong, I shouldn't lose... I guess...

"Well..."

Saten Ruiko swallowed hard and walked over, her body still trembling.

Although she claimed to be very strong, she had never used her power before. In her heart, she was still just an "ordinary person." Facing three fierce-looking thugs, she still felt her heart trembling slightly.

“Stop it—” Saten Ruiko said, her eyes closed and her body trembling slightly. She clutched her clothes tightly, not daring to look at him. “That person is injured…and the security guards will be here soon.”

Hearing approaching footsteps, Saten Ruiko slowly opened her eyes.

What I saw was a person grinning from ear to ear.

The man's missing two teeth marred his appearance, giving him a somewhat comical look.

boom--

"what!"

The next moment, the man kicked Saten Ruiko in the side and sneered, "What did you just say?"

"Huh? Eh?"

So...so scary—

Should I not have come out? I'm starting to regret it a little—

The man grabbed Saten Ruiko's head and said, "You're just a kid, yet you're so arrogant. You have no power whatsoever, so you have no right to nag and boss people around!"

strength--

"You just said... I have no power?"

"what?"

Saten Ruiko looked at the man in front of her and said, "I..."

"You—are you an ability user too!?"

Chi-

"Ugh—!" The man felt a tremendous force surge through him, and when he came to his senses, his eyes widened. 'Am I flying? No...no, am I flying towards the ground?'

"Ouch!?"

"Huh?" The one who made the sound was not one of the thugs, but Shirai Kuroko, who had just arrived.

Using her computer skills, Haru Shiori found several 'Fantasy Master' trading locations and was constantly moving around, changing locations one after another. She had just arrived here when she saw Saten Ruiko being 'bullied'.

Before she could say anything in her anger, she saw the man fly up and then fall heavily to the ground!

It smashed a large crater in the ground.
