I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Nangong Nayue squinted at Jill.

Yes, it's very strange... Just now, his speed was so fast that even I couldn't react. If he were an assassin, I'm afraid not many politicians would survive.

That rules out the possibility that he is an employee of a certain faction. The arrogant aura he exudes suggests that if he were within that faction, he would definitely be a leader—or at least the highest-ranking leader.

People of this caliber generally don't take action themselves, or those with that kind of strength are usually famous figures... It's absolutely impossible for them to be as unknown as the person in front of them.

Moreover, he used improper means to get to the island—if I hadn't sensed the strange spatial fluctuations today, I probably wouldn't have guessed that he used spatial control magic to get to the island.

There are too many suspicious things about the person in front of me, and... did this guy do his scouting? Why is his place next to that annoying place?

It also involves his own student—Nero Claudius, who lost his memory six months ago.

After that, the student lost a lot of his memories, but he was unusually fixated on the fact that he had an older brother...

From this perspective... the person in front of me is far too suspicious.

Jill flipped over and landed about ten meters away from Nangong Nayue.

Like Nangong Nayue, he pondered many questions in a short period of time.

"Then I'll ask you one more time—who are you?" The chains beside Nangong Nayue seemed ready to spring into action. "Based on your answer, I will determine whether you are friend or foe."

"What? You seem a little guilty."

Gilgamesh shrugged. "My name is Gilgamesh—I'm here to find something that doesn't belong to this world, that's all."

While Jill was speaking, Nangong Nayue used a lie detection magic on Jill—

The results showed her that Jill was not lying.

Jill also found the information she wanted.

While the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star faces certain limitations in this world, which is comparable in its level of "mystery" to Type-Moon, it is not unusable.

Jill also learned about the so-called witch.

—The term "witch" is an alternative name for a woman who has made a pact with a demon. Through their role as "guardians" of demons, they can use the same abilities as demons. As humans, they can manipulate and even rival the magic of high-ranking demons, and their magical skills surpass those of even the highest-ranking magicians.

However, there is a price to pay for making a pact with the devil.

And the price Nangong Nayue paid was...

Jill's eyes narrowed; this part seemed to have been cut off.

The world wouldn't let him continue his deduction?

Jill's eyes held a hint of amusement. "Nangong Nayue, it seems you have quite a few secrets."

Nangong Nayue was somewhat displeased by being stared at by Jill. After all, no one would be happy to be stared at with a scrutinizing gaze.

"..." However, it only took a moment for Nangong Nayue to calm herself down.

"I'll ask you one more time, who exactly are you—?" Nangong Nayue stared at Jill. "Based on your answer, I'll decide whether to take action."

“Hmph… if you can do it.” Jill chuckled, slowly raising the longsword in his hand, golden arcs of electricity crackling along its blade. “I wouldn’t mind playing with you.”

Nangong Nayue's brief exchange with Gil was merely a test, but even from that test, Nangong Nayue could sense that the person before her was definitely not much weaker than herself.

It even subtly overshadows me.

You can sense the presence of magic on the other person, and the magic is not weak. The other person is not using magic. It cannot be ruled out that they do not know magic, but it is more likely that the other person knows magic but has not used it yet.

It would be unwise to start a fight here.

What to do... Now we're in a bind... If the strange phenomena that occur later, it will be very difficult to handle.

Nangong Nayue frowned. What should she do...?

"Ughhhhhhh!" The sound suddenly rang out, and a figure rushed towards Jill.

Jill: "..." To shout while being ambushed, is this guy crazy?

He dodged the incoming fist by sidestepping it, then raised his hand to grab the wrist of that hand, and immediately followed up with a violent over-the-shoulder throw.

With a loud "boom," the person who had launched the sneak attack from behind (which could be considered a sneak attack) was slammed to the ground.

"Ha, so weak... Although his physical attributes are indeed good, it's strange that he has no skills." Jill poked the gray-haired boy in the hooded jacket that she had slapped flat on the floor, while looking at Nangong Nayue's doll-like face.

“…This guy is your student, right…Catch him.” Gil picked up the boy and tossed him to Nangong Nayue. “Seriously…So troublesome.”

“I thought you were going to take this kid hostage…” Nangong Nayue said as she took the boy.

“…” Jill was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes flashed with anger.

"Are you underestimating me?!" Gil slowly raised his sword. "If you make such a statement again, I will spare no effort to turn this artificial island into dust in history!"

Gil's crimson eyes burned with a fury akin to the raging flames of karmic retribution.

This scene reassured Nangong Nayue slightly.

The person before me is not the kind of person who would resort to scheming and trickery.

Perhaps it's not that he can't, but that he disdains it.

In her heart, Nangong Nayue labeled the person in front of her as "dangerous".

"Tch... In the middle of the night, aren't you sleepy...?" Jill frowned slightly. "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"..." How can this person be so carefree... wanting to fall asleep halfway through a fight?

However, this is also Jill indirectly giving Nangong Nayue a way out.

“Well—I’m being a little self-aware…” Jill raised her eyes slightly, “If you ever need anything later, you can come to me, and I’ll help you out to some extent, of course—”

The warning in Jill's bloodshot eyes was clear: "This is not an excuse for you to act recklessly in front of me."

"Also, please help me get a legitimate identity, otherwise some things will get very troublesome."

P.S.: I... can still... can still write...

PS2: I also have level 5 and level 11 artifacts myself, okay?

Chapter 267 Negotiations

"……you……"

"Stop asking those questions...it's so annoying..." Jill hadn't slept for almost two days, and he had endured it to get over his jet lag, so he wasn't going to just cut him off right now, which was also because he had a good temper. "I'm very sleepy right now—of course, you can try to attack me, but I can't guarantee what will happen."

His crimson eyes held undisguised murderous intent and coldness, as well as... drowsiness.

However, Nangong Nayue could guarantee that if she were to become hostile or take action again, the other party would display an even more terrifying speed.

That's the anger of someone who can't sleep well!

Jill stomped her right foot hard on the ground, unleashing a burst of magic that sent her back to the seventh floor.

"..." Nangong Nayue stared at Jill's figure, and before she knew it, cold sweat had soaked her back.

"Such terrifying pressure—" Nangong Nayue muttered to herself, "He probably just doesn't want to get entangled..."

Otherwise, if that knife were to be swung...

……

The next morning.

Jill rubbed her messy hair, which had become disheveled from sleeping, and came into the living room wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

He habitually went to the refrigerator, wanting to grab a drink.

Good morning, brother~

"I'm not your brother!" Jill's lips twitched as she looked at Nero, who was searching for food in the kitchen. "Seriously... why am I arguing with you..."

He took out the milk he bought yesterday and prepared to make breakfast.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Jill paused for a moment, then placed the milk on the table to the side.

So Jill went up and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a girl who looked like a doll, dressed in complicated clothes that seemed stuffy just by looking at them.

She reached out and handed me a paper bag.

"Here you go." Nangong Nayue's tone wasn't very nice, but Jill just stared at her silently for two seconds before taking the paper bag.

"Here's your ID card, teacher's certificate, and magic attack license," Nangong Nayue said.

A teacher's certificate is proof of being a qualified teacher, and then there's the Demon Slayer...

The term "magic master" refers to a group of humans with special skills, such as magicians and superpowered individuals.

Special members of the military and police, employees of civilian security companies, and people employed by other organizations—their identities vary, and the skill sets they use also differ greatly.

However, regardless of the circumstances, their ability to fight against demons and their status as natural enemies is undeniable. Furthermore, there are many demon hunters who make a living solely by hunting demons, acting like assassins.

If Jill also got this, it's probably a convenience given by Nangong Nayue, making it easier to use her abilities.

"That's really efficient..." Jill muttered to herself. "Thanks, now explain your purpose."

With both the teacher's certificate and the magician's license on hand, it's easy to guess that the other party definitely wants Jill's help with something.

"Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?"

Nangong Nayue simply asked that question.

“Please.” Jill stepped aside and slowly walked into the house.

He took out some tea leaves and casually brewed some tea. Nero had already retreated to his room, and no one knew what he was doing there.

"I didn't realize you had such good taste," Nangong Nayue remarked, looking at the room's furnishings.

“Whether it’s collectibles or everyday items, I only use the best.” Jill gestured for him to sit down, and Nangong Nayue also sat down on the sofa.

Jill placed the tea she had brewed in front of Nangong Nayue. "Tell me what you want me to do. Depending on the situation, I will choose to refuse."

“…You really are a hard person to figure out.” Nangong Nayue picked up her tea. “How about I ask you to be a tutor?”

"Is this a small matter? Bring my students who need tutoring, and even if they're rotten wood, I'll straighten them out."

Indeed, Jill was confident that he would use his own methods to show the other party what a "devil" was.

"Then there's no need for that—just make sure he passes his summer make-up exam."

Nangong Nayue said this, and then posed another question, "Are you an over-adaptor of abilities?"
