Abnormal Moon

“Her uncle never treated her as a niece, but as a tool for his career advancement. The reason I fought with Toudou Kirin last time was because I saw him beating Toudou Kirin and I couldn’t stand it, so I tried to stop him, which turned into a duel… Because I lost the duel, I couldn’t interfere in their family affairs.”

It turned out to be the case.

That's why she maintained a restrained attitude in the arena just now.

However, is it normal for Kirin Toudou's uncle to beat her?

Roy frowned as he recalled the complex expression on Toudou Kirin's face when she lowered her head and remained silent.

"So... you don't have any teammates right now, right?"

Eurythm's voice became hesitant and stammering.

"I happen to be single right now, and I'm also in a hurry to find teammates. I'm ranked fifth among the twelve on the starting page, so my strength should be barely enough. Of course, I understand that saying this after knowing your strength is a bit... awkward. I don't deny that I'm being opportunistic. So, what I'm saying is—"

"Silence."

Roy stopped in his tracks.

"Are you going to reject me?!"

Eurythmia froze, and a look of ashen expression quickly crossed her face.

"That's true, you're much stronger than me, someone like me—"

“I mean, there are people there.”

Roy pointed to the bushes beside the road.

The next moment, a golden arrow of light shot out from the bushes, aimed directly at Yulis!

Chapter 161 I'm a magician, I'm not lying to you.

Reminded by Roy, Euryss saw the light arrow shooting towards her and quickly turned her head, narrowly avoiding the sneak attack.

A short, stout black figure flashed past in the grass, and after missing his first attack, he tried to escape.

"You've attacked me time and time again, this time you're not getting away!"

Yulis's anger flared up instantly, and she took off chasing after the shadowy figure.

Roy watched Yulis's departing figure, his expression somewhat subtle.

Is she not worried at all about falling into a trap?

Or do you think you're too skilled and daring to lose?

Ahead, Eurythm followed the dark figure into a forest.

Suddenly, a powerful gust of wind swept in.

An axe flew towards her from the side of the forest, spinning wildly. Its momentum was incredibly fierce, cleaving through the trees in its path as easily as paper, and it seemed it could even blast through a concrete wall.

"Bloom, Crimson Heart Shield!"

Euryth reacted quickly, waving her hand to summon a massive shield of fire in front of her.

The flying axe spun around and smashed straight into the fire shield. After a brief stalemate, it shattered the shield and continued flying towards Yulis. However, in that brief moment of respite, Yulis had already retreated from the trajectory of the flying axe.

However, by the time she was caught by the flying axe, the dark figure had already disappeared.

Eurythm searched in the direction the flying axe had come from for a while, but still found nothing. Finally, she had no choice but to return to her original spot and pull the axe out of the ground.

"They didn't catch them, did they?"

Roy's voice came from behind her.

“It’s not that there are no clues. This axe is taller than me. Very few people in the school would use such a large weapon.”

Yulis held the axe upright, the blade even higher than her head, visibly almost two meters tall.

"To be able to wield such a weapon and break through my Great Red Heart Flame Shield, this person's arm strength is extraordinary. I couldn't find another one like him in the entire Star Guide Hall."

Yulis's beautiful expression darkened slightly.

Roy only needed a moment to realize who she was referring to.

"Was that the Thunderous Battle Axe from earlier called Lei Shida?"

"That's right. His arm strength is among the best in the entire Seidoukan, but he relies too much on strength and is not good at dealing with the abilities of witches and magicians, which is why he lost to me."

Yulis nodded, but a hint of confusion appeared in her expression.

"But this is a bit strange..."

"Using this axe to attack you would be too easy to expose my identity. Lei Shida shouldn't be that stupid, is that what you're trying to say?"

"Yes."

Yulis looked at Roy with great surprise.

Unexpectedly, he made the same judgment as Lei Shida after only meeting her once.

“Leishda is indeed a hot-tempered person, but he is not stupid at all. At the very least, he should understand the principle of switching to a weapon he is good at when launching a sneak attack.”

This attack practically screamed "suspicious."

"Come with me."

Roy nodded noncommittally and then walked towards the exit of the woods.

"Where to go?"

Yulis paused for a moment.

"Let's go find the criminal."

Roy stopped and looked back.

"Of course, if you don't want to look for it, then we can set off back now and go our separate ways."

Do you know who the culprit is?

Eurythmia, of course, wanted to find the culprit. She quickly caught up with Roy and stared at him in astonishment.

"You've only been enrolled for a few days, how do you know so much about the people at the school?"

"Of course not. I only know people I'm interested in; I won't even bother to hear the name of someone I'm not interested in."

Roy shook his head dismissively.

"However, I am actually a magician, possessing abilities similar to tracking!"

Among the Star Pulse Generation, some people are able to connect their physical bodies with the universal elements in the air, thereby using stellar power to influence changes in the universal elements, achieving the same things as magicians in fantasy works. Such people are called "magicians" for men and "witches" for women.

Such people are extremely rare, accounting for less than 5% even in the Star Pulse Generation. However, their abilities are usually incredibly diverse, with common ones including the manipulation of fire and ice, and rarer ones including healing and detection. These abilities can all appear in witches and magicians.

Like Euryth, she is a witch who can control fire.

"You're still a magician..."

Yulis paused for a moment, a bitter expression appearing on her face.

His terrifying speed alone was enough to make him stand out among the tens of thousands of Star Pulse Generation students in the Academy City. Coupled with his magician abilities, Roy's strength was far greater than she had imagined.

Someone like that probably wouldn't even look at her.

"That's right, I am a magician, but I personally prefer the title of magician."

Roy nodded very seriously.

He really was a magician; he wasn't lying to her.

"If we find the culprit, you'll be paying for dinner tonight, okay?"

"This level of reward is far too easy..."

Yulis sighed somewhat dejectedly, but it was probably just a small favor for Roy, so she didn't say anything more, only keeping the favor in her heart.

The outermost part of the academic city Asterisk consists of six academies situated at the six vertices of a six-pointed star, like the tips of snowflakes.

Walking out of the academy, you will enter the outer harbor area.

Although the harbor area is located between the school and the city, it is almost deserted. There are only countless virtual entities transporting goods back and forth. Even the freight trains that come and go are driverless. Normally, almost no one would come to the harbor area.

As night fell, a cool breeze blew in from the sea.

Roy led Euryss into the harbor area without alerting anyone, and they arrived at a warehouse.

A bird flapped its wings and landed in Roy's hand.

"It seems like this is it."

Before Eurythm could get a good look at the bird's shape, it vanished from Roy's hand.

What kind of ability does this guy have?

A question flashed through Yulis's mind, but she quickly focused her attention on the matter at hand.

"A warehouse in the harbor area? Would people usually hide in places like that?"

"What if it's not human?"

As Roy said this, he stepped forward.
