I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

Moreover, that amount of bleeding...

Could he be dead?

"Shirai-kun?" Saten Ruiko blinked, then looked at the blood flowing from the thug at her feet, covered her mouth, and took two steps back: "This...this is—?"

"You...you bastard—!"

The other two thugs roared and charged towards Saten Ruiko.

"Don't come any closer—!"

boom--

Two dented human-shaped marks appeared on the wall next to it.

The two thugs were knocked unconscious by the sudden impact.

"Ha...ha..." Saten Ruiko gasped for breath, her eyes wide as she stared at the scene before her. A pale blue figure slowly emerged behind her: "Don't come any closer...Shirai-kun...I really...can't control this power properly yet."

"What...is that? Saten-kun! What happened?" Shirai Kuroko asked hurriedly, "Are they still alive?"

"I...I don't know..." Saten Ruiko covered her cheeks with trembling hands: "What...am I doing?"

Chapter 1199 The New Stand User (Part 3)

"Anyway, Saten-kun, don't move around. I'll take these people to the hospital."

While calling for an ambulance, Shirai Kuroko checked on the three people.

Still alive...

Although they had all fainted and lost a significant amount of blood, it seemed as if some force was protecting their lives, allowing them to remain alive...

Was she subconsciously holding back?

And...this power...this appearance...

Shirai Kuroko was certain that she had just seen something resembling Ryougi Mana's 'stand-in' behind Saten Ruiko...

However, their colors, shapes, and appearances are all different.

I initially suspected that it was the use of the Illusionist, but now it seems wrong... Could it be the one that Ryougi Mana mentioned?

Is that ability called a Stand really that dangerous?

"Huh...huh..."

Only after the ambulance arrived and took the three away did Saten Ruiko relax and kneel down on the ground.

"Are you alright... Saten-kun?"

"Um...ah...I'm alright, I'm sorry for worrying you..." Saten Ruiko nodded and said, "As expected...is it still too early to use this power now...?"

"Power? What you just did... was that the Stand ability that Ryougi Mana mentioned?"

"Yes." Saten Ruiko's words confirmed Shirai Kuroko's guess.

"I...I was originally going to use Imagine Breaker, but Ryougi stopped me. She said instead of using that, I should try awakening my Stand ability..."

"So you tried it out, and you succeeded?" Shirai Kuroko seemed to understand.

“Yes.” Saten Ruiko nodded and said, “That was my Stand ability, it’s called [stairwaytohea/ven].

As she listened to those words, she felt as if she had returned to last night.

“It is indeed a very strong Stand ability... but it is too strong for you.” Ryougi Kazuya put away the arrow and said to Saten Ruiko, “Your mental strength is not yet able to fully control this power. What you can do now is to temporarily seal it away and only use a part of its power... but even this part of the power may cause it to go berserk.”

"Rampage?"

“That’s right, but it’s not entirely uncontrollable,” Ryougi Kazumi said. “You need to keep using it to gradually master this power and truly make it your own… Of course, because of your insufficient mental strength, this Stand cannot actually fully exert its original abilities.”

Ryougi Kazumi thought for a moment and said, "You can try using this ability on yourself later..."

"Um... um, I understand."

Saten Ruiko was extremely excited at that moment, never expecting that she would be able to obtain such a powerful ability!

"Don't tell anyone the details of this ability. This room can block the surveillance of Academy City, but it won't work once you leave this room. You can't even reveal the true nature of this ability while talking to yourself."

Ryougi and Mi paused for a moment and continued, "By the way, give your stand a name."

"A name... does Mr. Ryougi have any ideas?"

"Me... let me think." Ryougi Kazumi thought for a moment and said, "What a coincidence, I happen to know a song whose name is very suitable for your ability."

"Huh? A song?"

“That’s right, it’s decided. Your Stand ability will be called ‘stairwaytohea/ven’.”

“stairwaytohea/ven…” Saten Ruiko read the name of the Stand.

“That’s right... stairwaytohea/ven, it means ‘stairway to heaven’, there’s no name more suitable for your Stand ability.”

......

Ryougi and Miya were playing with the arrow in their hands in the room when their Stand, D4C, appeared behind them.

However, other Stands appeared later, such as Ryougi Mana's TheKinks, and... Saten Ruiko's stairwaytohea/ven.

Compared to Saten Ruiko, he has completely mastered the Stand's abilities.

That's what the ultimate life form is all about. Of course, you can't copy a Stand from a manga, but if you've actually seen one in real life... then that Stand is yours. Of course... he didn't tell Ryougi Mana about this.

After all, we need to give the child a goal, so she can continuously develop her own stand-in...

It would be wonderful if I could truly surpass myself.

Ryougi and Mi didn't intend to become exceptionally strong, so that their descendants might not be able to surpass their predecessors... But unfortunately... even so, they inadvertently copied other Stand abilities.

Especially Saten Ruiko's Stand...

If Saten Ruiko can control herself now, she already has the strength of a Level 5 esper, and if she can completely control her...

"As expected, none of the Stands with the word 'Heaven' in their names are weak."

Gates of Heaven, Made in Heaven, Beyond Heaven...

They are all incredibly strong and abnormal, and Saten Ruiko's ability... undoubtedly falls into that category as well.

Why would a young girl awaken such a Stand ability? Perhaps the reason is... her heartfelt wish after arriving in Academy City.

This wish gave her this strength.

That arrow was merely a catalyst.

......

"It's alright, Saten-kun. We just got in touch, and all three of them are fine. Of course, it's unavoidable that they'll be in the hospital for a month or two."

"That's great..." Saten Ruiko breathed a sigh of relief, feeling completely relaxed.

She was just a teenage girl.

The pressure of suddenly facing the possibility that you may have killed someone is undoubtedly immense.

This could even cause her to have a mental breakdown.

If Shirai Kuroko hadn't been there to help her subconsciously control her power, it's possible that her power would have truly gone berserk by now.

The immense pressure will crush her.

She is actually quite fragile, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to use the Imagine Breaker in the first place.

Of course, she is actually very strong, otherwise she wouldn't have stood up for others when she had no power at all.

Even though I was trembling with fear during the process.

I was relieved to hear that everything was alright.

Chapter 1200 The Road to Heaven

"for you--"

"Um... thank you."

Saten Ruiko took the juice that Misaka Mikoto bought and took a sip: "Ah—this is so good, I feel like I've come back to life!"

"Saten-kun, what's your new ability? What? What?" Uiharu Kazari looked at Saten Ruiko with shining eyes.

"Well... haha, I think my ability is airflow control... I think the reason I knocked those people away was because of the 'wind'..." Saten Ruiko said, scratching her head.

"Wind... Your superpower seems to be of this type, and it turns out that the 'Stand' ability of this new body is also like that?" Uiharu Kazari said in confusion.

"Huh? Um...yes." Saten Ruiko nodded quickly.

A girl who isn't good at hiding her true feelings looks fake.

However, those present were all a bit blind and didn't see the lies in her words.

stairwaytohea/ven

It wasn't that Saten Ruiko didn't trust the people present and therefore didn't tell them, but rather that there were all sorts of surveillance systems in Academy City, especially one called 'Airborne Lines'. If others knew what her Stand ability was, they would inevitably be used against her.

That's when things got really bad.

There is no doubt that her Stand ability has such value, and even the potential to change the world.

But she herself... clearly wasn't prepared for this.

For Saten Ruiko, awakening such an ability was a complete accident. Her goal was simply to have her own superpower, not because she particularly wanted to do anything.

The main purpose is to protect oneself and others when encountering danger, and at the same time...

After all, I came to Academy City and didn't have any superpowers. I'm so frustrated.

"Saten-san—are you alright?"

Just then, Ryougi Mana also ran over.

"Yeah, yeah, it's nothing." Saten Ruiko waved her hand. "Or rather, if it weren't for my newly acquired ability, I would have been in real trouble... Oh, not necessarily, Kuroko was there too."
