In the eyes of the people in this world, if there were no external enemies for human beings and there were no special powers such as magic and martial arts in the world, there would probably be no large-scale wars.
But in fact, war will never disappear no matter where it happens in the world.
After all, there is always only one source of war, and that is desire and greed!
…
At the same time, at the Imperial Academy of Magic, students were arguing about the impending battle.
"Ryougi Shiki's ability still has no explanation. What exactly is her Mystic Eye?"
"No matter what Ryougi Shiki's ability is, she must get close to Asagami Fujino to unleash her power. But Asagami Fujino's Mystic Eyes can affect a large area of the surroundings. In this case, Ryougi Shiki can't even get close to her, right?"
"Yes, I feel like this battle is disadvantageous to Ryougi Shiki."
"But Ryougi Shiki's fighting ability is not weak either. When he was looking down at the scenery earlier, he could jump around from such a high place."
"It depends on the situation. In a sense, this is a contest between a mage and a knight. It depends on who can seize the opportunity better!"
"Haha, then I still stand on the side of the mage, that is, Asagami Fujino!"
"Hehe, but the protagonist of this movie is Ryougi Shiki. I don't need to tell you who will win, right?"
The magicians had a lively discussion.
At the same time, everyone was staring at the screen at this moment, waiting with great anticipation for the official outbreak of the battle!
Chapter 145 Episode 3: Residual Pain (VI)
Chapter 145
In the movie, the dual narrative continues.
On the battlefield where the typhoon was howling.
Asagami Fujino gasped for breath, stared at Shiki, and roared with murderous intent:
"Liang Yi - style."
After hearing what Asagami Fujino said, Ryougi Shiki calmly held the knife in his right hand and said:
"It would be fine if you just went home. Now you are a beast that has tasted blood and enjoys killing people."
"No, I don't feel happy at all."
"Haha, no matter how you refuse, we are very similar now. Ah——I really want to kill you now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ryougi Shiki directly attacked Asagami Fujino. Her eyes lit up and she saw through the dense lines of death on Asagami Fujino's body.
On the other side, Asagami Fujino raised her left hand to cover her face... With her bright eyes, she peeked at her opponent through her fingers and directly distorted the space!
The battle is about to begin.
…
Just as the battle broke out in the typhoon, Kurodori Kaneya returned to the office.
When he saw Aozaki Touko, he immediately said:
"Ms. Orange, I have already done some research on Asagami Fujino. She is a person with acquired painlessness. She was no different from an average person before she was four years old."
"What are you talking about? How can there be such a ridiculous thing? For a special case like Asagami Fujino who only lacks feeling, it must be a congenital problem."
"But the fact is that, Asagami Fujino was originally from the Asagami family, but the Asagami family went bankrupt when she was twelve years old, and she followed her mother into the current Asagami family."
"-Then what?"
"It is said that when Fujino was a child, she had a sense of pain, and correspondingly, she also had an incredible ability to bend objects through the air. Because of this, she was treated as a cursed child in the village and was bullied. But when Fujino was four years old, that ability disappeared along with her senses."
“Disappeared?”
"Yes, it is said that her family assigned a doctor to treat her. I found that doctor, but he was only responsible for providing medicine. It is not clear why Fujino got painless. It is said that everything was arranged by Fujino's father alone."
"What's the arrangement?"
"In simple terms, it's a drug that eliminates pain?"
"I see. I understand."
After hearing what Kuroto Mikiya said, Aozaki Touko pondered for a moment and slowly said:
"Asagami Fujino's father blocked her ability by blocking her pain. They were completely opposite to Ryougi who tried desperately to use his ability. But sadly, doing so strengthened Fujino's ability. It's like some ancient magicians would sew up their eyelids to seal the magic power in their bodies to prevent it from leaking out. Asagami Fujino is in a similar situation. The magic power accumulated over a long period of time may have reached a very terrifying quality. But because of this accident, she felt the pain again and activated the power in her body, which turned her into an abnormal person!"
"It's so cruel. Not being able to feel pain is the only thing that keeps her normal."
"Yes, pain is a good thing. It allows humans to recognize danger. When we touch fire, we pull our hands back not because they are burned, but because we feel pain. Otherwise, we would not understand the danger of fire until our hands are burned to ashes."
As Aozaki Touko spoke, she picked up her coat and continued:
"Asagami Fujino didn't think those boys were dangerous before, but because of the sudden recovery of her pain perception, she understood that they were dangerous villains. However, killing them was too much. Moreover, this also confirmed that the girl had no wounds on her body to begin with."
“What does this mean…?”
"We'll talk about the details on the way. The biggest problem right now is that Ryougi Shiki has gone to find Asagami Fujino."
"What?!"
In an instant, a look of anxiety flashed in Kuroto Kan's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the scene quickly cut to the fierce battle between Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino.
…
Compared to the long analyses by Kiriya Kuroto and Touko Aozaki, all the viewers in front of the TV were obviously more concerned about the battle between Shiki Ryougi and Fujino Asagami.
At this moment, the picture changes to Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino starting a fierce battle in the midst of a violent storm.
The excellent filming techniques combined with the perfect music made all the audience watching the battle cheer nervously.
Compared to ordinary people who can only shout and boast about how awesome they are, the magicians of the Imperial Magic Academy are obviously better at analyzing the content of this battle.
"Asagami Fujino's ability is too strong. The most important thing is that the speed of activation is too fast. Even a magician at the level of a great magician cannot release magic with such a fast and powerful destructive power."
"Yes, the speed at which ordinary great magicians construct spell models is far behind her, and she doesn't seem to need to chant at all."
"If magicians can release magic at such an efficient speed, I'm afraid knights won't be needed on battlefields in the future. We can just send a team of magicians to defeat all enemies."
"This is too outrageous. It's not realistic no matter how you think about it."
Ordinary students can only discuss this much. After all, with their vision, they cannot imagine that an ability like Asagami Fujino could appear in reality.
To truly explain the internal logic of this battle, we have to look to the great sages at the top of the Alchemy Tower.
"Well, I remember there was a great sage who was able to do something similar before?"
In response to Hohenheim's remarks, Rosa immediately replied:
"Yes, he is a senior of our spiritual and soul discipline. He spread his soul into a tentacle-like shape and used his powerful soul to interfere with reality. He once appeared on the battlefield alone during a war between countries and killed thousands of soldiers, setting a new record for the destructive power of a great human sage in war."
"That person is indeed a famous figure, but the way he performs magic is different from that of Asagami Fujino."
"Of course, according to the description in the movie, Asagami Fujino's ability seems to be related to a kind of telekinesis under a high degree of mental concentration. To be honest, I think this is not magic at all and there should be no way to replicate it. Moreover, the movie said that eliminating pain can make people unable to release their abilities, which is even more difficult to understand."
Hohenheim nodded in response to Rosa's speech:
"Well, magic is a different kind of language. We magicians can only use spells to mobilize the essence of the world. Telekinesis does not exist in our world."
"But it is still worth studying, isn't it? When the spirit reaches its peak, can willpower interfere with reality? This is really a very valuable proposition."
"Haha, there are already so many existing research topics that they are almost filling up the entire Mage Tower. The number of great sages in each generation is so limited, how can they have the time to study so many topics?"
After hearing what Hohenheim said, Rosa suddenly spoke:
"What if people other than great sages can also conduct research, or even people other than magicians can conduct research?"
"you mean?"
"Forget it, let's just continue watching the movie."
The communication between the two ended here.
Obviously, this topic has far exceeded their ability to communicate. Even the top magician of mankind still dare not make any radical remarks on this issue.
Soon, the battle between Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino in the movie broke out completely, and the fierce battle between the two sides was shown in the picture.
At this moment, everyone's attention was completely focused on the battle in the movie, and no one dared to be distracted in the slightest.
Chapter 146: As long as it's a living thing, I will kill it for you to see, even if it's a god!
Chapter 146
In the movie screen.
In the ruined building amid the howling typhoon, a fierce battle between Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino is breaking out.
Because of a moment of carelessness, Ryougi Shiki's left hand was directly broken by the power of Asagami Fujino's Mystic Eye.
"I am stronger."
At this moment, Asagami Fujino truly felt a hint of joy. She endured the pain in her abdomen and chased after the fleeing Ryougi Shiki.
However, due to the complex terrain, Asagami Fujino was unable to quickly capture the opponent's figure, and due to Ryougi Shiki's amazing physical fitness, even if Asagami Fujino knew the opponent's hiding place, she could not quickly kill him.
"Since you can't see it, just clear away all the obstructions."
As the words fell, as Asagami Fujino's eyes began to glow, everything around her began to collapse.
"You really are messing around."
Ryougi Shiki's voice rang out in the darkness.
She rushed out from behind the cover where she had been hiding, injured Asagami Fujino with amazing momentum, and disappeared into the shadows again.
"—How could it be that…"
"I destroyed your hand, why—"
Compared to Asagami Fujino's panic, Ryougi Shiki hid back into the shadows. Her right hand had completely lost sensation in the previous moment, and it might never return to normal function for the rest of her life.
"That's great, Asagami, you're really great—"
Shiki muttered to himself, concentrating.
Asagami Fujino was probably a powerful enemy that she would never meet again. If she made the slightest mistake, she would die immediately.
This kind of crisis really made her feel very happy, as it allowed her to actually feel that she was a living human being.
"I know it's a waste of time..."
Killing Asagami Fujino wouldn't change anything.
But that's life.
If you accumulate all the futile attempts, you will eventually achieve something.
"Go ahead, I've seen through your tricks."
As he spoke, Shi suddenly walked out from the shadows.
Seeing Ryougi Shiki walking towards her, Fujino couldn't help but doubt her own eyes.
"You are really crazy."
Having said that, Asagami Fujino decisively activated her ability, and her vision distorted. The axes set on Shiki's head and feet rotated in opposite directions respectively - Shiki's body was twisted into a ball like a rag.
It should be twisted into a ball.
No, it was completely wiped out.
However…
“Crack!”
The knife in Ryougi Shiki's hand slowly fell, and the [Distortion] created by Fujino disappeared out of thin air.
Shiki simply waved the knife in his right hand and eliminated Fujino's [Distortion].
"Invisible things are hard to see with the naked eye, but you abused them too much. Thanks to that, I can finally see that your ability is a green and red spiral. It's really - beautiful."
"you… "
Unable to comprehend what was happening before her eyes, Fujino Asagami's face showed fear.
Ryougi Shiki continued to use his knife to eliminate the distorted power released by the opponent, and slowly spoke:
