I'll kill you after I finish this game!

After killing the Hydra, he was able to use techniques that mimicked the abilities of this Noble Phantasm even with other weapons.

Its essence is a 9-hit combo released at a high speed, as if all the attacks were combined.

Therefore, even if it is unleashed with a sword, spear, or axe, this move will still be used with the same Noble Phantasm-level power.

Hercules proudly introduced his skill to Shana, who, despite being skilled with her katana, could still use his "Shoot Down a Hundred Heads" technique without hindrance.

"Thank you, uncle."

Shana was naturally eager to learn such a versatile killing move and agreed to Hercules's well-intentioned request.

Hercules, who was called "Uncle," scratched his head, feeling that Shana seemed to suit his taste better than Ilya.

One was a little girl who needed care, and the other was a little girl with great potential whom he admired. The latter was able to defeat him head-on with her strength, which made Hercules very impressed.

As for how to pass on this technique, Hercules can simply enter the martial arts dojo again and use the dojo's dream-like rules to pass it on to Shana through his spirit origin.

This is also a rule that the heroic spirits discovered they could utilize: they are willing to pass on their power to students they find pleasing and admire.

Some time ago, Haimura Moroha received the technical skills passed down from Sasaki Kojiro and Okita Souji, learning the demonic sword techniques of Swallow Reversal and Mumei Three-Stage Thrust.

Because the other party is very suitable for learning swordsmanship, Haimura Moroha, who was the strongest guardian of the holy sword in his previous life, has a very powerful ability called [Yinghuo].

That is the ability to "sever the concept," somewhat similar to that of the former Seeking the Way God, Mibu Sojiro.

Fireflies do not distinguish between reality and illusion, tangible and intangible; they are all cut off.

Although Haimura Moroha cannot yet perfectly control this move, the Heroic Spirits skilled in swordsmanship can immediately see just how powerful this ability, combined with swordsmanship, will be.

With the same mindset of carving a fine field and a beautiful jade, Sasaki Kojiro and Okita Souji passed on their skills to each other and were happy to serve as each other's kendo teachers.

P.S.: In some interesting later plot developments, what would happen if a Heroic Spirit with a 'death' attribute, like the Old Man of the Mountain, witnessed Ma Zhonghua, this mass of death? Or what if a Heroic Spirit of the Sword path encountered the Sword God Sojiro, etc.?

Chapter Twelve: Valentine's Day, the Day of Divine Wrath, a holiday with only mercury serpents and no chocolate.

The special courses at Yazhong Academy are proceeding smoothly. Although the students find the training of the heroic spirits arduous, they personally experience the growth of their own strength and immediately feel that their hard work has paid off.

Moreover, after some time, the senior students at Yazhong Academy have already met the graduation requirements.

Shana has already received the certification of her strength from Master Tsuchimikado Ryusui. If she wants to continue her training, she can continue. If she wants to graduate directly and join the White Knight Organization, she can do so as well.

After all, although Shana is still not graduated, she is already recognized as an S-rank savior within the White Knight Organization.

Knowing that she would be heading to Earth, the home planet of humanity, Shana chose to continue her training in seclusion before the White Knight Organization officially began its operations.

However, today is a special holiday, and Yazhong Academy is taking a break in its rooms.

"Every year on this day, I feel like my stomach is going to suffer..."

Inside the student dormitory area of ​​Yazhong Academy, Shana looked at the mountain of chocolates in front of her with a helpless and troubled expression, touching her stomach with a somewhat nervous look in her eyes.

These are all chocolates given to me by my classmates and younger students.

Today is Valentine's Day again. Whether it's chocolate given to Shana because of a secret crush or out of pure admiration and longing, Shana has to finish all the chocolate in front of her.

Although she appears aloof and assertive in front of her classmates, Shana also possesses the delicate psychology typical of girls.

Putting aside the chocolates given to Shana as a confession, these "obligation chocolates" represent someone else's feelings, and Shana really has no reason to deny them.

"Hehe, this must be the hardship and trouble of being popular, my little Shana~~~"

A teasing voice, full of laughter, came from the kitchen, its tone also brimming with the schadenfreude of watching the spectacle.

"No way, no way, no way!"

Upon hearing this, Shana launched a three-part attack of tsundere attitude, picked up the chocolate on the table, pouted, and glared at her mother, Matilda, who was making chocolate in the kitchen.

Her mysterious adoptive mother was a very responsible mother, and according to some of her past life memories, this woman was also her mother in her previous life.

Regardless of fate or even a past life, Shana genuinely likes Matilda based on her daily interactions with her.

She casually tore open a chocolate wrapper and popped it into her mouth. Her delicate, pretty face drooped as she stared at her mother, who was happily making chocolate, and asked in a low, curious voice:

"Mom...chew...chew~, um...you're giving this chocolate to Dad, right?"

"Asking even though you know it~"

Matilda answered without turning her head, then casually flicked a small dollop of chocolate sauce into Shana's mouth with a 'splat'.

Shana licked the chocolate sauce off the edge of her mouth with her pink tongue, then wiped her mouth and continued to grumble at her mother:

"What does it feel like to be in love? Many boys at school said they liked me and confessed to me, but I didn't feel anything for them. You said you liked your dad, but I think your dad's feelings for you are very complicated."

Shana doesn't understand what love is, and she never had a love affair in her previous life.

But she felt loved, and Matilda clearly conveyed that feeling to her.

As for the feelings that other people at school have for her, Shana doesn't really understand those feelings, nor does she feel the same importance as she does for Matilda.

Shana observed the strange relationship between her adoptive mother, Matilda, and her very responsible father, and it puzzled her.

It wasn't until I grew up that I realized my mother and father weren't actually husband and wife.

However, the mother made it very clear that she liked the father very much. As for the father... he was very good to Matilda, but only to the extent of being 'very good', far from being the level of being husband and wife, or even lovers.

The father didn't dislike the mother, nor did he have no feelings for her, but their situation was just very complicated.

"You've stumped me with that question. Everyone has a different perspective on love."

Matilda was stirring the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl in her hands. She paused for a moment after hearing Shana's question, then resumed her movements with a helpless expression and replied:

"My view on love is possession and competition. Your father was my first love...the only one, and I can't tolerate my only one failing..."

Razer is the man who perfectly matches Matilda's XP, but because of her characteristics, she is probably the man who perfectly matches anyone's XP.

However, precisely because of this, Matilda did not want to lose and could not tolerate her defeat.

Moreover, Matilda genuinely loves him; she wouldn't fall for anyone else.

"That's weird..."

Shana, who didn't understand what love was, mumbled as she chewed on chocolate, finding her mother's words strange.

"If love could be clearly described, it wouldn't be love; it is inherently complex."

Matilda put the finished chocolates into the refrigerator to cool and solidify, then took off her apron and came to Shana, gently patting the girl's head, and said:

"This kind of discussion is meaningless. When you actually meet someone you like, you will naturally understand that indescribable feeling."

Shana, whose head was being rubbed, swallowed the chocolate in her mouth and listened to Matilda's words.

Then, with a slight blush, she reached behind her back and presented her mother with a piece of homemade chocolate as a token of gratitude for the care she had received since childhood.

After Matilda accepted the chocolate from Shana with great interest, Shana said to her mother with a smug look:

"The chocolates Dad usually gives you are just obligatory chocolates, right? Please accept these chocolates from your daughter who is full of love for you with gratitude."

"...Your chocolate, full of love for your mother, is really rich and delicious."

Matilda opened the chocolate wrapper in her hand with a speechless and strange expression, looking at the hard black cube in her hand.

Is this Shana's 'Dalang needs to take his medicine' version of chocolate?

Shana knew she was terrible at cooking, and seeing Matilda's strange expression, she blushed and said with a touch of embarrassment and pride:

"You've become so picky about food because of Dad's cooking. You'll always think that nothing you eat is as good as Dad's!"

Don't you think so?

Matilda grinned, broke off a piece of chocolate from her hand, popped it into her mouth, and asked Shana a question in return.

"Humph!"

Shana pursed her lips. The best cook in the family was Reiji, followed by Matilda. As the daughter, aside from her skill in baking pineapple bread, her cooking skills were simply terrible.

On the other hand, she didn't know if her father had made chocolate for her mother; he was always busy, and when she asked Matilda, she couldn't give her a clear answer.

Matilda likes Reiji so much, I wonder if she'll be sad if she doesn't receive chocolates today.

Shana thought with some worry.

If Lei Zhe really dared to do that, she would definitely give him a stomp on the face the next time they met.

"The chocolate is almost set...wait?"

Just then, Matilda made a strange noise as she went to look at her chocolate.

Shana rushed over and saw Matilda leaning against the kitchen table with a smile on her face, holding a chocolate with a white note attached to it.

Then look at the chocolate Matilda had put in the refrigerator to solidify; it has long since disappeared.

"Honestly, it was all eaten before I even finished packaging it, and it was all done so sneakily..." Matilda smiled as she showed Shana the note tucked into the chocolate box, then opened the box and happily began to eat the chocolate.

Shana took the note from Matilda and read it, her expression immediately turning into one of utter speechlessness.

The chocolate was delicious, and also... very hot. I definitely appreciated the thought...

This is the information written on the note; Shana recognized the handwriting as belonging to Raiji at a glance.

But, is it hot?

How could chocolate that's been put in the refrigerator be hot? Shana looked at Matilda, who was sitting at the table eating chocolate, with a puzzled expression. Matilda was also eating chocolate with a strange expression and a slight smile.

Could it be that there's something special about the chocolates these two people made?

"Give me a piece!"

Shana took the note and went to her mother's side, reaching out to break off a piece of white chocolate from Matilda's hand to taste it herself.

"You have so much chocolate, why do you have to steal your mom's?!"

Matilda, who would normally not stop Shana from doing anything, seemed to get angry and grabbed the chocolate to dodge Shana's outstretched hand, and said to her righteously.

At this moment, Matilda's expression was very abnormal, with an unnatural blush on her face and a hint of embarrassment and annoyance in her eyes.

Shana, sensing something amiss, directly voiced her doubts to Matilda, smiling as she said:

"There's something strange about the chocolates you two made. Dad ate the chocolate you put in the fridge and it solidified, and he said 'it's hot!' And you made that face when you ate the chocolate... I need to try some!!!"

Shana, who felt that Reiji and Matilda were acting strangely, became even more interested in the chocolate in her mother's hand. She pounced on Matilda and hugged her tightly, then started tickling her to try and win the chocolate back.

Shana, who had bathed with Matilda and was frequently assaulted by her under the guise of checking her physical development, naturally knew her mother's sensitive areas.

Meanwhile, Matilda, who was chewing on the chocolate that Reiji had given her, was so embarrassed by Shana hanging on her that she almost choked and spat out the chocolate.

"Guha... Okay, okay... I'll give it to you... I'll give it to you, alright!?"
