Magician in Type-Moon

Kurogiri also sighed. Because of these things, Ryougi Shiki had already missed countless classes.

She and Matou Ike have now become legendary figures on campus—the kings of truancy.

Without dwelling on those matters, Kurogiri continued recounting the case.

"However, it is said that the incidents were unrelated, and the girls who committed suicide all attended different schools and did not know each other."

Orange said with a hint of sarcasm, "Making such a judgment so directly? That's really not like you, Kurohiri."

“I investigated with my relatives in the Metropolitan Police Department, and they found no problems with these girls’ private lives. They were not taking drugs or involved in any dubious religions. The only conclusion is that these cases were sudden suicides due to personal factors and feelings of insecurity.”

Mikiya Kokutou did put in some effort in this matter.

He paused and continued, "The only thing they have in common is that none of them left a suicide note, but that can't be used as evidence, it's just a reference point."

Did he not leave a suicide note?

Aozaki Touko thoughtfully picked up her coffee cup and took a small sip.

Her thoughts began to race as she analyzed the implications.

Why was there no suicide note?

Death is something that no one can escape.

This is a Damocles' sword hanging upside down over everyone's head.

Every living being vehemently rejects the path of death.

The desire to cherish the beauty of life is an instinct of all living beings.

A person will not easily commit suicide unless they are driven to desperation.

A suicide note is a final confession from someone who has given up on life to this world.

Suicide without a suicide note means they leave no comments, or even any trace of their actions.

It's like going to a convenience store to buy something, and suddenly having the urge to die.

Actions taken rashly without any thought or consideration of one's own conscience.

Such a death is incredibly irresponsible.

"Miss Orange, where is she? She didn't go to class again today. Isn't she here with you?"

Mikiya Kokutou interrupted Touko Aozaki's burgeoning thoughts.

"Her? She and Matou Ike are on the rooftop."

Kurogiri Kane was also taken aback by Aozaki Touko's words.

He really didn't expect that Ryougi Shiki and Matou Ike would have any interaction, after all, their relationship had always been very delicate.

Although we see each other all the time here at Orange's place.

However, there was virtually no communication between the two.

It's as if neither of them can see the other.

"What are they doing on the rooftop?" Kurohiri asked Orange, somewhat curious.

"If you're so worried about your girlfriend, why don't you go up and check on her?"

Orange rolled her eyes at him and turned back to her paperwork.

Kurogiri Kaneya blushed a little at her words, but he still decided to go and see.

I followed the sound of footsteps past the small room and towards the door leading to the roof.

There was no sound coming from the other side of the door, as if it were an empty, otherworldly place.

This made Kokutou Mikiya feel a little strange, but Touko had no reason to lie to him.

Filled with doubt, Kurogiri Kanya pushed open the door leading to the roof.

Clang——!!!

*Snap!*

A loud bang, accompanied by the hiss of sharp metal scraping against glass, and a gust of wind, passed by Kurogiri Kanya's ear.

That's the sound of a dagger cutting through a bullet!

The moment she pushed open the door, Ryougi Shiki swiftly leaped over the dust on the ground, her blurry shadow passing at high speed through three or four giant flying insects of unknown species that were attacking her.

Ryougi Shiki raised her blade and swung it four times in quick succession at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.

The chirping of insects, which had been going on and on, suddenly stopped.

Even the bullet that was about to touch Ryougi Shiki's cheek instantly sparked.

It splits in two at the center of the warhead.

This produces a popping sound.

Ryougi Shiki's actions did not stop due to the sudden appearance of Kokutou Mikiya.

She didn't slow down at all, carrying a gleaming, cold blade, and charged straight towards her opposite side, which was Matou Pond.

"Magic battles are battles between concepts. There are no strong ones or weaknesses; it's just a matter of calculating the order of things to fight against each other."

"You're too reckless, Liangyi."

Two voices rang out one after the other on the rooftop; it was Matou Ike's voice.

However, Kurogiri Kanya also felt something was strange.

Because Matou Ike didn't make any move, it was as if he was standing there waiting for Ryougi Shiki to come and kill him.

Although the principle of sunlight reflection allowed them to see dozens of spiderweb-like threads stacked in front of Matouike.

However, Kokutou Miki doesn't believe that this can stop Ryougi Shiki. He has already witnessed Ryougi Shiki's strength in the past two months.

As expected, all the threads snapped as Ryougi Shiki brandished the hilt of her sword.

Looking at the broken ends of the layers of spider silk, a certain string in Kokutou Mikiya's mind suddenly tugged.

Something's not right!

Chapter 214 "Class"

--wrong!

That's not what spider silk looks like when it's been cut by a blade.

The support points of a spider silk are located at the two ends of a single strand; simply put, it's like a taut rope.

Once the blade cuts the rope, the rope, now split in two, instantly loses its grip at the break point.

As a result of the influence of Earth's gravity, coupled with the forces applied from both sides, the rope will naturally slide down to both sides and the ground.

Instead of what it is now, constantly twisting in the air, with its arc and position deviating from the normal situation, which is common sense.

Kurogiri Kanya's pupils contracted accordingly.

For a moment, the world seemed to stand still.

Ryougi Shiki's dagger was suddenly pulled back by a force that abruptly interrupted it when it was only three centimeters away from Matou Pond.

The "killed" spider silk did not break and dissipate as it would normally do. Instead, it twisted and danced in the air like a living thing, quickly wrapping around Ryougi Shiki's legs like a mad snake.

A powerful pulling force came from Ryougi Shiki's ankles, and her body was involuntarily dragged backward, instantly dissipating her killing intent and speed.

Mikiya Kurotō didn't understand what had happened.

However, before he could have more time to think, Ryougi Shiki's situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse.

His body was violently pulled by the spider silk, and the dagger was getting further and further away from Matou Ike's chest.

Fortunately, Ryougi Shiki did not do anything foolish like forcibly trying to break free, but instead glanced at the ribbons that had been transformed from spider silk out of the corner of her eye.

In an instant, Ryougi Shiki's eyes became as dazzling as a starry sea.

Magic is not omnipotent; it is based on the principle of equivalent exchange.

Therefore, magic is also part of the order.

This means that it is also something that can be "killed".

A knife.

The line of death suddenly snapped.

But in the next instant, Matou Ike had already raised the "little helper" in his hand.

Bang!----

The bullet was suddenly fired.

coming.

Ryougi Shiki certainly wouldn't ignore the real threat right in front of her.

Given the distance between Ryougi Shiki and Matou Ike, with her perfect body, she could have easily "killed" the bullet just like before.

He twirled the dagger in his hand, even creating some fancy flourishes.

The death lines of the bullets were as bright in her eyes as candlelight in the darkness.

She was going to "kill" the bullet that was aimed directly at her again.

No, what is "killed" is not the bullet itself, but the order in which the bullet flies, its kinetic energy and potential energy!

The flashes of blades and the shadows of bullets overlapped.

You can do it!

After all, it had already been cut once before.

This is a futile counterattack.

But the next moment.

The light and shadow suddenly distorted and expanded, and intense heat and repulsive force emanated from Ryougi Shiki's chest.

This is the impact caused by the bullet exploding!
