Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

Even if it were a very beautiful and gorgeous suit of armor specially made for her, she wouldn't like it. Her specialty is disguise and disguise, not charging into battle in armor.

Such things were merely a burden to her, utterly useless.

Even if you encounter danger, wearing this thing might prevent you from escaping when you could have.

So all things considered, this thing held almost no appeal for her.

Miyazaki Yu smiled slightly: "I know what you're thinking, but I think it would be better if you let me finish what I have to say before you decide whether to refuse."

Vermouth raised an eyebrow: "I'd like to see how you convince me that there's absolutely no way I could like this kind of thing."

Miyazaki Yu smiled faintly: "Then you'd better listen carefully. The first point is its sturdiness. Ai and Akemi must have tested it, and you must have noticed how sturdy this armor is, right?"

Hearing this, Miyano Akemi nodded: "You're right. This armor is extremely hard, almost ten times harder than diamond. Ordinary attacks simply cannot leave any mark on it."

Miyazaki Yu continued, "Such hardness is enough to withstand the vast majority of attacks. Even bullets cannot harm it in the slightest. Moreover, the function of this armor is far more than that."

This armor is a strange weapon born by chance from the combination of a bizarre meteorite, red magic, and psychic abilities. The entire armor is filled with a strange magnetic field that can continuously stimulate the wearer's body, giving them an inexhaustible source of power.

Once spiritual energy is infused into it, this armor becomes incredibly light, providing warmth in winter and coolness in summer, and is insulated from extreme heat and cold. Neither blazing flames nor freezing seawater can harm it in the slightest. Furthermore, it can amplify one's own power, greatly enhancing one's combat strength!

It can even increase physical activity, allowing injuries to heal quickly. Unless it's a life-threatening situation, this armor can greatly improve the wearer's condition.

According to a mysterious figure, this armor is a pinnacle of magic and supernatural power, a unique artifact in the world, and an existence that transcends scientific creation. Can you really remain unmoved by such a weapon?

"Gudong!"

A clear sound of swallowing rang out, but Vermouth was completely oblivious to this, her eyes fixed on the armor in front of her.

She never expected that this armor would have such capabilities; it was truly astonishing!

This is simply a magical artifact!

Indeed, this is the case. This armor is not a scientific creation, but a terrifying weapon made by chance, combining magical power, supernatural abilities, and strange metals from the universe.

Otherwise, although Aurenero was a powerful individual with psychic abilities, reaching the transcendent realm was his limit, and he could never possess such terrifying power!

During their first encounter, if Miyazaki Yu hadn't broken through to the limit and combined his spiritual power with sword energy to unleash tremendous power, unexpectedly severely injuring Orenello, and if Orenello hadn't been unwilling to fight to the death, the outcome would have been uncertain.

Therefore, this armor provides an extremely significant boost to combat power!

In other words, possessing this armor is equivalent to instantly becoming a powerful being!

"No wonder in the rumors this guy always covered his face with armor and seemed to never take it off, so that's why!"

This armor is an absolutely perfect garment. Not only does it keep you cool and dry, but it's also incredibly lightweight. It can even heal injuries, and on top of that, it significantly increases your combat power. The benefits are simply perfect!

Seeing Vermouth's eyes light up, Miyazaki Yu smiled. This woman was like a cool kitten, always exuding a goddess-like aura, maintaining her calm, elegance, and mystery at all times.

However, when faced with such a divine artifact, one cannot help but feel deeply shocked.

Ai Haibara, who was standing to the side, gave a soft hum.

"That woman, Vermouth, must have seduced this guy. That lecherous scoundrel completely forgot everything else because of her beauty. It's infuriating! Why are all men such creatures who think with their lower bodies? They can't help but be tempted when they see a pretty woman. If I were still an adult, I wouldn't be so passive!"

For the first time, Ai Haibara felt a touch of helplessness because of her body shrinking.

However, now is not the time to talk about these things. Research on that kind of medicine has begun in the underground laboratory. The first batch of reagents will be completed soon, and then there will be hope for my recovery!

Thinking of this, she glared at the guy again.

Miyazaki Yu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He activated his senses and saw Ai's expression. He smiled inwardly, knowing that this girl would only show such a look to the person she depended on.

It seems that my position in her heart has become quite different.

He knew that to gain unwavering loyalty, one needed to employ certain methods. Simply being lenient wouldn't work, but being too harsh was also unacceptable. Most importantly, there needed to be a strong emotional bond between them.

Any group that wants to develop cannot ignore the emotional bonds it forms. Simply using rules and power to bind it will only lead to internal strife, as the Black Organization is a prime example of.

If this were a highly cohesive organization, there wouldn't be so much counterfeit alcohol.

Chapter 344 Reforging the Armor

However, after a brief moment of excitement, the appalling damage to her armor brought her back to reality.

"This armor is indeed perfect. If it were still usable, even though it was worn by a stinky man, I could tolerate it after a proper cleaning. But the problem is that this armor is severely damaged and I'm afraid it's unusable."

Moreover, you just said that this armor was not only forged from a strange meteorite, but also an unexpected product of magic and psychic abilities. In that case, it would be almost impossible to repair the armor, right?

I don't believe that someone like Aurelion Sol would leave behind the people who forged the armor and knew its secrets after obtaining it.

Miyazaki Yu nodded with a smile; this woman's reactions were always the fastest.

Moreover, Vermouth's ability to grasp people's hearts is extremely accurate and insightful. This is what makes her truly remarkable. A woman's strength does not necessarily rely on physical power; women have their own strengths.

“You’re right, that’s exactly what he did. After obtaining the armor, he killed the mage who forged it. He thought he was safe now, but he didn’t know that this mage had a successor in this world. I only got this information from the successor.”

At this point, Miyazaki recalled the previous scene, when Kaito Kid came to his house to find him, Koizumi Akako also went in and told him some secrets.

"Miss Hongzi, you mean you know the weakness of that armor, right?"

Koizumi Akako proudly tilted her head back and said, "That's right, because that armor was forged by my father himself!"

My father is hailed as the master of red magic over the past few centuries. His mastery of red magic has reached the level of a grand mage. He was even once a guest of honor of the pope and was named an honorary bishop by the previous pope. He was a truly remarkable person!

"But my father ultimately underestimated human nature," he said, his face darkening.

Through subsequent conversations, Miyazaki Yu learned what had happened.

This is another very simple story. Hongzi's father is a genius in red magic. He has a very high level of skill in magic and is extremely obsessed with it. So he began to study magic circles and began to create various magical items.

While magical artifacts and magic circles of the past were powerful and had amazing effects, they also had a drawback: they could not last long.

Just like the magic circle that Akako once used on Kaito Kid, the falling snowflakes simply broke the magic circle, and the entire formation was broken.

Moreover, even if they are not broken, these magic circles inscribed with magic power will collapse on their own after a period of time, and they cannot exist for long.

Those crystal balls, magic brooms, and bomb dolls are all the same; if they're left unused for a while without magical maintenance, they'll simply become ordinary things.

So Hongzi's father began frantically searching for all sorts of materials, hoping to find one that could create a powerful magical artifact that could last a long time, thus ensuring the continuation of magic.

Just when he was searching desperately, things took an unexpected turn, and someone actually came to his door. This person was Orenero.

He took out another meteorite, which had properties unlike any other material in the world. Not only was it extremely strong, but it could also store spiritual energy!

This overjoyed Hongzi's father, who then spent several years researching and finally achieved success. With the help of Aurenero, he finally forged this armor.

Unexpectedly, Orenero was so vicious and ruthless. The armor had just been forged, and as soon as he put it on, he immediately turned on Hongzi's father.

So all these years, Akako has been searching for Orenello's whereabouts, but she never expected to find clues about him in the Morita family incident.

That's how the later events came about.

Vermouth smiled and said, "It seems you were prepared all along. So, you mean to find that magician's successor and then reforge this armor?"

Miyazaki Yu nodded: "This is the only way, so what we need to do now is to visit this rightful heir of the Red Magic."

At Koizumi Akako's residence.

"Is this the armor my father forged? Although I had seen it once before, observing it up close like this makes me realize its extraordinary nature. It is a perfect magical creation, even though it is damaged like this."

I can still feel a tremendous power emanating from it. It's truly unimaginable how much this armor would amplify my strength.

Hongzi gently stroked the surface of the armor with her fingers, feeling the fluctuations emanating from it, her heart surging with emotion.

She raised her head and solemnly addressed Miyazaki Yu, "This time, I was able to kill that bastard and avenge my father, all thanks to you, sir. On behalf of the Red Magic family, I thank you for your kindness. If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best!"

Miyazaki Yu smiled; that's exactly what he was waiting for.

“Miss Hongzi, the reason I have come here is that I do need your help. Since you have put it that way, I will not stand on ceremony. What I want you to do is repair this armor!”

"Repairing the armor? I see."

Hongzi immediately realized what was happening and a sudden realization dawned on her.

"Lord Miyazaki, please forgive my bluntness, but this armor is indeed quite powerful and has many wonderful functions. However, the magic array covering this armor is far too complex. With my level of magic, it is almost impossible for me to repair it."

Moreover, the armor is severely damaged, and even if it were to be repaired, it would require a considerable amount of the same material. This particular meteorite is one of a kind, so please forgive me for not being able to do it.

Vermouth, who was disguised as Miyazaki Yu's attendant, couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.

However, this should be the truth. The reason why Orenero killed Akako's father was to keep the secret.

It would be abnormal if the armor could be repaired so easily.

Miyazaki Yu had already anticipated this, and only after hearing Akako say it herself did she give up the idea.

However, he is not one to give up easily, and he already had a way to make amends.

“Miss Hongzi, you’re right. Repairing this broken armor is indeed very difficult. However, if we recast a brand new set of women’s armor and make the dimensions of each part smaller, the amount of material used should be greatly reduced.”

As for your lack of ability, that's something we need to study together. I'm also quite interested in the mysteries of magic.

Hongzi felt a pang of difficulty. The inheritance of red magic followed ancient and strict laws, and it could never be revealed.

But this guy in front of her is domineering and powerful, and he's also done her a favor. If she refuses, she's afraid...

Miyazaki Yuya noticed her concerns.

“Miss Hongzi, I can promise you that I only want to study the records left by your father about this armor, everything about red magic. I promise I will not reveal a single word. This is my promise. If you still don’t agree, then I can only take my leave.”

However, I think this is also an opportunity for you. You once said that when your father died, you were still young and had not yet mastered many of the secrets of the Red Devils.

Our joint research opportunity is also an excellent chance for you to gain insights from similar cases. After all, I have now mastered not only swordsmanship but also spiritual power. If anyone in this world can unravel the secrets of this armor, it can only be me.

"With this opportunity, you might very well regain your lost heritage, which should be an offer you can't refuse, right?"

Hongzi lowered her head, the shadows obscuring her expression. After a moment of silence, she raised her face and said in a deep voice.

"make a deal!".

Chapter 345 Nishikawa Tetsumei's Resolute Actions

At 8:55 a.m., Nishikawa Tetsuaki arrived at Miyazaki Yu's house with a mix of trepidation and excitement.

A surge of emotion welled up within him!

He had been practicing swordsmanship since childhood and had a sincere heart for the way of the sword. He was extremely fascinated by the feeling of gradually becoming stronger in his training.

Moreover, in the process of becoming stronger, he also obtained many things he wanted.

With praise from everyone, and admiration from teachers and classmates, especially after winning several championship titles, he joined the Kendo Association and became the personal disciple of the association's president!

These achievements were like dazzling stars, and without realizing it, he had become intoxicated by these illusory praises, accustomed to being respected by everyone, and even more fond of hearing all kinds of compliments.
