Magician in Type-Moon

Page 167

"Making the same mistake again, why can't you learn from it?"

Matou Pond moved.

Once the command to lift the restrictions was given, the magic prepared in advance within the body was activated directly through the 108 magic circuits, with magical power flowing like a torrent.

Time alter—triangle accel—inherent time control. Three times the speed.

Physical Enhancement. Starkung!

Indigo magic enveloped his fist.

With physical speed tripled, he appeared in the flames in the blink of an eye, directly in front of Ryougi Shiki.

In this critical moment, Ryougi Shiki faces two choices: one is to "kill" the flames that instantly explode around her.

Another option is to "kill" the fist that Matou Ike throws at you.

The action that should be taken is—

The time for thinking is compressed to within 0.1 seconds.

No, that's something you don't even need to think about.

Which crisis is more dangerous is obvious to everyone.

The dagger that had just cut through the bullet quickly turned back and stabbed towards Matou Ike's fist, or more accurately, the spiderweb-like lines of death covering that fist.

But the person she was facing was Matou Ike.

This body is a special product created through months of modification.

Time-based control restarted!

Time alter——square accel——inherent time control. Four times the speed.

The instant the fist and the blade are about to collide.

The section belonging to Matou Pond dispersed directly, visually appearing as shimmering and dancing points of light, thus avoiding the dagger's thrust.

They then came together again.

A sudden and chilling explosion pierced through Ryougi Shiki's abdomen.

The airflow was directly reversed by this punch.

The air vibrated as a result.

An invisible wave of air then spread out.

The magical ripples expanded and then vanished again.

Ryougi Shiki moved as if by leap, her red afterimage crashing directly into the rooftop barrier that was covered by the enchantment.

“The right choice, but not right enough.” Matou Ike glanced at the fist that had crumbled into a pile of mud on the ground and said to Ryougi Shiki, who had been smashed into the barbed wire fence.

Meanwhile, Kurogiri Miki rushed to Ryougi Shiki's side to check on her injuries.

"Shi, how are you?"

Matou Ike glanced at them, touched his nose, and turned to walk towards the fourth floor.

His hand hadn't recovered yet, and the kind of magical worms that could be used to fill his body were the kind that were relatively difficult to cultivate on a large scale. He had used most of them to set up traps before.

So it will take another day or two to recover.

I went down to the fourth floor, pushed open the office door, and went inside.

Hearing the noise, Aozaki Touko glanced over.

"Lost?"

"Won."

As Matou Ike answered, he found a gap in the sofa and sat down.

"What about your hands?"

"It was caused by magic, it's not a big deal," Matou Ike replied indifferently.

"Tch, I thought I could make some money off you again." Orange put down the documents in her hand and continued, "Where are the two kids?"

"They're probably still up there, all lovey-dovey," Matou Ike said with a smile.

"How is the situation with Yin and Yang?"

“Didn’t you take magical protective measures? Apart from some pain, you should be fine,” Matou Ike continued to reply.

Orange said irritably, "I'm asking about her abilities."

"Those are the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, they're definitely among the best. Except for being a bit naive and unable to distinguish the key points when facing magic battles, that only shows that you, as the teacher, haven't taught your students well."

Matou Ike recalled the events of the battle and then shared his opinion.

At this point, Orange rolled her eyes at him again, then nodded:

“That child is indeed a problem student. She doesn’t even want to use the ‘Demon Eye Kill’ technique that I made for her. When I took her on missions before, she just recklessly charged in because those eyes were too powerful, and I couldn’t find any fault with her.”

Of course Kiriike knew this, otherwise Touko wouldn't have asked him to give Ryougi Shiki a "lesson".

Orange continued:

"After they come down, you'll have to help me out again. At the very least, you need to get Ryougi Shiki to put these glasses on."

Orange took a pair of glasses out of the drawer next to her and waved them in front of Matou Ike.

She seems to have an obsession with having Ryougi Shiki wear glasses.

Chapter 215 Glasses Style, Get

Shortly after, Mikiya Kurogiri helped Ryougi Shiki, whose lips were stained with blood, slowly walk down from the rooftop.

Despite having taken precautions against Ryougi Shiki during her duel with Matou Ike, the power of that punch still caused her considerable injury.

Ryougi Shiki's expression remained indifferent, as if she ignored the pain, but Kurogiri Miki could feel her body trembling slightly.

Upon seeing their appearance, Aozaki Touko immediately went over, her face showing an unusual concern.

Without hesitation, she began to heal Ryougi Shiki, gently placing her hands on her wounds and slowly infusing them with gentle magic to repair the torn muscles and skin.

"Hey you, why do you always go so hard? Don't you think she's not fully recovered yet? Can't you be a little gentler?" Aozaki Touko said to Matou Ike in a mischievous tone while treating her.

Matou Ike stood aside, watching Touko bustling about with a "good guy" attitude.

One person plays the good cop, the other plays the bad cop; Orange gets all the good things.

"If you're really worried about her, you should tell her how to control her power sooner rather than later," Matou Ike replied calmly, without offering any further explanation.

Orange chuckled softly, as if she hadn't heard him at all, and was just focused on completing the treatment.

A moment later, the wound had mostly healed under her magic. Although it would take some time to fully recover, it would at least be safe for the time being.

"Alright, the wound has mostly healed, but she still needs to rest for a while." Orange stopped the treatment and patted Ryougi Shiki on the shoulder.

Ryougi Shiki nodded slightly, a hint of resentment in her eyes. She had never been beaten so badly before.

Aozaki Touko noticed the emotion in her eyes, smiled slightly, and asked with a hint of teasing, "How does it feel to experience a magic battle for the first time?"

In her view, some things should be done while the iron is hot.

In particular, combat experience and understanding of the mystical side often require the most stark contrasts and frustrations to grow rapidly.

Ryougi Shiki remained silent for a moment, seemingly recalling the battle that had just taken place.

"It feels terrible... I did lose, but if I could do it again, I should be able to win."

In the recent test, aside from the inherent time control, Matou Ike did not use many unconventional magic spells.

But Ryougi Shiki still lost.

"Do you know where you went wrong?" Matou Ike looked at Ryougi Shiki and, seeing that she was still somewhat unconvinced, took the initiative to speak.

Ryougi Shiki's lips moved slightly, and she uttered two words briefly: "Intelligence."

Matou Ike nodded after hearing this, but then shook his head: "Information is indeed one of the main reasons. It's already quite good that you realize this."

He paused briefly, then continued, "But why, in that battle just now, knowing that the intelligence was insufficient, did you still prioritize charging in?"

Ryougi Shiki pouted, seemingly wanting to retort, but Matou Ike spoke first:

"It's an emotion. When you're facing me, that hint of hostility in your emotions makes you overlook the fact that you lack information."

Matou Ike's tone was calm, yet carried a teacher's authority. He paid no attention to the emotional fluctuations on Ryougi Shiki's or the others' faces, and continued:

"Emotions are an important factor in magic battles. Some magicians can trigger a surge of magical energy within their bodies by changing their emotions, thereby achieving better magical effects."

"Even non-magicians can unleash extraordinary power by stimulating their hormones under different emotional guidance."

"While your emotions just now may have briefly stimulated your physical activity, aside from that one benefit, the rest were all negative effects, weren't they, Yin and Yang?"

The atmosphere was somewhat serious. Ryougi Shiki glanced at Touko and Kurogiri with a pleading look, revealing some of the endearing qualities of a high school girl.

Orange was pretending to be thinking, while Kurohiri wanted to interrupt but couldn't.

"Yeah, normally I'm the one who does things like sword fighting, but today Shiki insisted on doing it herself. She has a lot of complaints about you, Matou-senpai."

Ryougi Shiki's way of speaking suddenly changed to a more masculine tone, as if she had temporarily handed over control of her body to Shiki.

Matou Ike frowned slightly, not expecting Ryougi Shiki to choose not to face the problem.

"It's okay, she's just a little embarrassed. She can still hear what you're saying. In today's parlance, she's a bit of a tsundere."

Great, one personality is arrogant, and the other is cunning. They've got it all.

Matou Ike rubbed his forehead. Now that he was sure the other person was still listening, he could continue speaking.

"In battle, calmly guiding different emotions is a very important thing."

Matou Ike paused for a moment, then continued:

"I heard Orange mention that she made you a pair of glasses that could suppress the Demon Eye, right? Those glasses should have magic that can suppress emotions fixed on them, so why don't you wear them?"

Matou Ike glanced at Touko and gestured for her to take out her glasses.

Orange had been waiting for this moment for a long time. After returning to her desk and rummaging through the documents, she handed the "Demon Eye Killer" to Zhi.

Zhi picked up the glasses and played with them for a while, seemingly not resistant.
