The brave Simmel wants to resign

And she did indeed complete the interpretation of the domain and the reversal technique in an instant.

Memories are etched into the body, just as Simmel was able to gradually use Flash Strike on his own. Even if the Star Cross stops rotating, he can still use the Reversal Spell.

The field... is still a little lacking.

only......

(Sure enough, my bad premonition always came true.)

As 'Simmel' swung her bat again to dispel the fog, a hint of understanding flashed across her cool expression.

Ok.

So he really didn't die.

When he used the [Zoltraak] murder magic for the second time, having previously only used the gravity spell, he was now completely overwhelmed by its power.

The effect was very strong, directly deflecting the attack trajectory of the [Zoltraak Murder Magic].

"what."

In a 'calm' state, Simmel immediately came to an answer.

"It's that child—"

...

"It's Haibara's technique."

Xia Youjie, who was in the distance, immediately understood what was happening when he saw this.

Haihara Xiong.

During his time at the vocational college, his techniques were not particularly special, and he himself was not a highly regarded genius; otherwise, he wouldn't have died at the hands of a near-first-level curse spirit.

[Spell: Pool Accumulation Incantation]

The principle is quite simple: the warlock decides the starting point of the 'charge' and is not allowed to move after that. By using this constraint, the warlock can obtain a multiple of the output at the moment the charge ends.

The text appears to be a jumbled collection of characters and symbols, possibly from a corrupted or incomplete source. It doesn't form coherent sentences or paragraphs. A direct translation wouldn't be meaningful.

Only after being pierced by Simmel's arrow did he release his charged power and quickly launch a counterattack.

【Zoltraak】 is a type of magic specifically designed to kill living beings, and its energy content is not particularly high.

and....

"He pierced both the heart and neck, yet he didn't die... That's astonishing. He's even harder to kill than a demon. So his weakness really is his brain?"

"He ran away like that... He's really a calm person."

"Frilian murmured."

but....

The [Tracking Magic] is already attached to the target.

(Killing the opponent directly without knowing whether their ability is "possession," "parasitism," or "body taking over" may not yield good results.)

—All of the above are just excuses.

Frillie simply realized that the nightmare was over, and that she was now completely unaware of what was happening.

Well... it seems we still can't cause widespread damage.

...Simmel would care about these things.

(Next...it seems there are several other beings with immense magical power on the other side. Hmm...never mind, let's try to lure out more people.)

【Stardust Cross】is clearly a single-target attack, and in situations where you are fighting multiple opponents, the battle will naturally drag on.

There's no need to put yourself in danger... compared to that...

The rest is up to you.

As if speaking silently, the hero briefly closed his eyes.

And when he opened his eyes again...

"Okay, leave it to me."

She flicked her bangs and smiled again.

The chilly atmosphere vanished instantly, leaving behind once again the brave, sunny, and cheerful young man.

Simmel glanced at Xia Youjie beside her.

"I'm leaving now, Xia You."

"...Ha...After all this time, is it still the same in the end...?"

Xia You's tone showed no surprise.

He lay on the ground. Although the high temperature had forced the bleeding to stop on the torn flesh, such injuries could not be sustained for long by willpower alone.

Even in the blurry, shaky vision, the blue figure and the eerie glow of the reversal spell could still be vaguely seen.

—After the passive mode of [Stardust Cross] ends, Simmel will be in [Melting] just like after the field is deployed.

Naturally, you cannot immediately switch to the [Monk] class.

Frilian had also anticipated this, so she prioritized learning the reversal spell and its external application techniques in a short period of time.

"Isn't my partner amazing?"

"....hehe."

Xia Youjie did not answer, but simply closed his eyes and let his consciousness sink into the deep sea.

Heroes and such...

It sucks.

...................

.........

When Gojo Satoru woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day.

He cried out in pain almost as soon as he regained consciousness.

The moment I finished the action of 'getting up', it felt like my brain, the surrounding flesh and bones were misaligned, and I felt a sharp, needle-like pain.

Humans experience similar pain after prolonged sleep deprivation, but for Gojo Satoru, it had been a long time since he had felt this way.

Since learning the Reversal Technique, he has relied on the atomic-level precision of his six eyes to manipulate the spell, keeping his body constantly switching between the 'Reversal Technique' and the 'Limitless Technique'.

Using reversal techniques to repair brain damage is commonplace, so patients rarely experience pain caused by inflammation or other similar issues.

But now we have it.

Gojo Satoru lay back on the bed, gasped, and covered his forehead with his hand, making incoherent whimpering sounds.

Are you out of your mind?

A familiar voice came from the side, carrying a hint of flippancy and melodiousness.

“Shoko, sometimes you really sound like you’re swearing.”

Is it possible that I am actually insulting you?

Gojo Satoru lowered his arm slightly to allow his eyes to adjust to the light before speaking in a hoarse voice.

"Is everything over?"

"It ended while you were gone."

"Can you stop emphasizing 'when I'm not around'? It makes me sound useless, like I'm supposed to be the strongest character in the story, but in the end I did nothing and didn't get a single kill.

"Is it possible that I emphasized that on purpose?"

On the recliner next to the hospital bed, Shoko flipped through a book listlessly and gave a perfunctory reply.

"Don't worry, Simmel just used magic to put you into a deep sleep, and it seems to be quite deep sleep. Even your reversal spell was automatically deactivated. So your brain suffered from the backlash caused by this period of high-intensity work. A normal person can just lie down for a day or two, or you can use the reversal spell to repair it yourself."

"Why won't you fix it for me?"

"Seeing you in pain makes me happy."

This guy.

Gojo Satoru turned away unhappily, muttering curses under his breath as he used a reversal technique to heal his brain.

At the same time, she was also recalling the events that occurred before she lost consciousness.

Xia You Rebellion.

It is said that he also killed someone.

I was unable to stop him.

He said he would break their legs and arms, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, nor could he bring himself to stop them.

Finally, Simmel appeared, stopped him herself, and then—

My consciousness went blank.

Gojo Satoru's long body slowly curled into a ball, his hands covering his head.

That's so embarrassing.

"Aren't you going to ask about the results?" Shoko calmly turned the page.

"...Judging from your tone, it must be that Simmel succeeded, right?"

"Why don't you ask Xia Youjie if he came back safe and sound?"

"...Judging from your tone, I can tell you've come back alive."

"Wow!"

Shoko closed the book, looking displeased.

"It's really annoying to be able to tell what you're thinking just by your tone of voice, especially since it's only five." With her hands forward and her waist pushing up, Shoko continued, "But unfortunately, it's not even a complete set, as one of my arms was broken off. Of course, it was put back in place."

"There's also good news—Xia You didn't kill anyone."

Wu Tiao turned around abruptly, his face showing astonishment.
