Fushiguro Shige's eyes narrowed. He and Gojo Satoru were more than ten meters apart. Ordinary people might not be able to hear other people's whispers at this distance, but for him who was concentrating, it was no different from someone talking in his ear.
Gojo Satoru had no intention of stopping the other party from hearing.
It only takes about ten to twenty seconds to explain. It makes no difference whether you say it in battle or arrange it in a safe situation, because it is an open tactic and there is no conspiracy at all.
Fushiguro Shier felt that he was underestimated. But it didn't matter, he would make up for the lost face in the next battle, and he only hoped that the two special-grades would have the confidence to support their confidence.
Shishi raised her hands, folded them in front of her chest, and made a prayer-like gesture, while silently saying in her heart:
[Fall down! Don't use your full strength... The range is about 200 meters in radius. ]
A white firefly as big as a child's head appeared on Poetry's chest, emitting pure white phosphorescence. Its sapphire-like eyes quickly lit up with an ominous red light. At the same time, a somewhat distorted but still recognizable voice of Poetry sounded from all around.
〖It’s so scary…Don’t hurt me…〗
〖Sister...Rina...where are you——〗
〖Everything that hurts me——Destroy it all!!〗
White snowflakes gradually fell from the sky with the sound.
Huh? Snowflakes?!
At first, Fushiguro Shigeuchi did not realize that the thing falling from the sky at this moment was the strange phenomenon caused by the ritual of poetry.
It's just like you wouldn't immediately consider the solid ground you're standing on as an enemy, and the trees in the forest aren't born able to speak.
If the rain in the sky didn't have a strange smell or change into a different color, you wouldn't think it was dangerous. The wind without smell is unlikely to harm your body.
Yes, they are just a few thin snowflakes, how could they cause any harm to humans?
The World of Insects——
The same thought flashed through the minds of all the parasite carriers:
coming! !
Fushiguro Shigeki was no slower than the insect possessors to realize that there was something wrong with Snow Flower.
This is because beyond his subconscious impression, common sense immediately reminded him that there was definitely something wrong with this snow!
The reason is very simple: it is the middle of July now. How can it snow in Tokyo, a place as hot as hell? !
Once you realize this, it’s not hard to decide that this localized snowfall is the stuff of poetry. The hard part is what to do next.
To be honest, when Fushiguro Jyouji saw the area above his head with a radius of about 200 meters and a diameter of 400 meters, all covered with glowing snowflakes, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
The new special-grade sorcerer An Ben Shi - the sorcery is called "Destruction Ritual".
Whether from the name or the results of its two previous uses, this spell must have dangerous destructive power!
However, when this ability used "snowflakes" as a medium and its attack range was as rapid as the natural weather accompanying the snowflakes - "snowfall", he finally understood why the cliff by the sea was shattered along with the streets above it in just a few minutes.
Fushiguro Shiji thought of a very appropriate metaphor: facing the green-haired girl's technique was like several mortar positions carrying out saturation bombing.
This sounds like a fantasy - how could a person deserve such extraordinary treatment?
Hiraga Saito: …
But there is no need to question this now, because in fact, he is currently enjoying a situation similar to his clever metaphor.
So the question is asked again: If he really faces such a situation, how should he respond?
He felt an impulse that made him want to rush straight towards the two sorcerers before the snowflakes fell completely. Wouldn't that way the crisis be over in an instant?
Reason made him immediately dismiss this idea - Gojo Satoru had already pointed his hand this way.
This time he had neither the concealment to lurk nor the speed to move. If he had insisted on rushing towards the target knowing this, he would have died countless times.
And since we can't move forward, the next choice is easy.
Retreat! Retreat to a safe distance!
Although snowflakes were waiting for him on his way back, with his physical ability, it was no problem for him to dodge them while moving at high speed!
As soon as he thought of this, Fushiguro Shinji's body began to move.
Although there were ruins of buildings and large rocks everywhere, and broken trees everywhere, these were the traces left by his previous battle with Gojo Satoru.
But this still cannot affect Fushiguro Shige's speed.
Gojo Satoru launched an attack towards Fushiguro Shiji, who dodged it easily. In the blink of an eye, Fushiguro Shiji ran almost a hundred meters away.
Not only did none of the poetry snowflakes touch his body, he even had enough time to kick a half-man-high rock on the ground towards a snowflake as he retreated, apparently wanting to test the strength of the poetry ritual.
The result of this rash action was beyond his expectations.
No different from any previous time, the large rocks shot at the snowflake at extremely high speeds carried huge kinetic energy, destroying the snowflake's already unstable structure.
The snowflakes begin to release energy!
Within a range of nearly 20 meters in diameter, the expanding disordered energy crushed from the center of the explosion to the surrounding areas, destroying the gravitational field and inadvertently shaping it into a field that was extremely dangerous to any tangible thing.
After the destructive field engulfs all matter within its range, it is followed by a blow to the molecular structure.
A loud rumbling sound accompanied by a violent shock wave occurred at this time. It was at this time that Fushiguro Shige, who was about to escape from the safe area, had his body balance destroyed by the surging shock wave.
His speed of dodging slowed down for a moment, just for a moment... However, the density of the snowflakes of [Winter Firefly] can completely match the snowfall in nature.
Even though it was a light snow, the density of the snowflakes was not so great that a careless man would not get a single drop of snow on him.
A snowflake fell on Fushiguro Shiji's right upper arm...
Boom boom boom boom——
The exploding shock wave and energy ball engulfed Fushiguro Shigeru's body.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom -
At this moment, the countless insect-attached creatures guarding the light curtain understood why [Winter Firefly] was called a "natural disaster"!
The other viewers on the screen knew that Fushiguro Shigeki was a bad guy.
He is a killer, a mercenary, and a villain who kills innocent girls for money.
However, when the light curtain showed a scene that seemed to be submerged by a natural disaster, like an avalanche, and people were desperately running down the mountain with their two legs. Because there was no way to avoid being swallowed by the avalanche, and they could only stand there in despair, quietly waiting for death to come, many viewers felt sympathy for Fushiguro Shigeki.
And at this moment, the snowflakes are still falling.
Fushiguro, he is not dead yet!
58. What happens after defeating the invaders
Ever since the mission to protect the astral plasma, no, to be more precise, since returning from the headquarters of the Astronomical Disk Church, Shizi always felt that Senior Getsuyu was hiding something in his heart.
His face became visibly gloomy, and he sometimes looked absent-minded while talking.
Although he himself claimed that it was influenced by the bitter summer, the poem always felt that this was not the case.
But this is not something that a junior like her should say. Even if being a junior is sometimes an advantage when facing a senior, given Natsuyuu's personality, the person who should take advantage of this is definitely Haibara-san, not her.
So, with a hint of worry, Shi Shi embarked on another mission.
The people she is traveling with are Nanami and Haibara, and their target is a child-bearing god who believes in the countryside.
Using gods as opponents may sound exaggerated, but Japan's eight million gods mythology system has a very broad definition of gods.
Excluding the few Tianjin gods and Kunitsu gods recorded in the Kojiki, as well as some great gods who have become widely believed for various historical reasons, there are countless wild gods who have no names and are only circulated in local areas.
These gods, who are contemptuously called "wild gods" and "miscellaneous gods" in Shinto beliefs, are often bullied by various monsters and even humans even in Japanese stories. If applied to the situation in this world, the so-called childbirth gods are probably just a collection of resentments of people in a small area about miscarriage, premature death and the like.
In fact, the High Commissioner did not assess the danger of their commission very highly. The target cursed spirit, "Child-Giving God", was believed to be a newborn cursed spirit of level three. With their current lineup, they had more firepower than they needed to carry out the commission.
Even so, the reason why the High Commissioner still decided to send three people together was that recently there were fewer and fewer commissions worthy of the special-grade sorcerer, Anmoto Shiji, to take action.
In the battle against the invader Fushiguro Shier inside the high school, Shi Shi showed her unparalleled destructive ability at close range. And this time, she did not destroy the outside, but destroyed the land within a radius of one kilometer inside the high school!
This kind of thing is easy to deal with when fighting the enemy, but after defeating the enemy, the high-level experts have a lot of opinions about poetry. Although the deterrent power brought by the ability of poetry in this battle made the high-level experts dare not act rashly, in terms of executing commissions, the high-level experts further restricted the conditions for poetry to accept commissions.
If Shizi was able to live a good life by picking up the remaining commission fees after completing her first commission that caused the teaching building to collapse, then after the battle with Fushiguro Shirō at the technical high school, the fees she earned from commissions every month could probably only allow her to live a life like an ordinary office white-collar worker, and she had to calculate how much she wanted to buy.
This is indeed a bit outrageous.
The academy was actually very generous in paying sorcerers. Not only would sorcerers receive a fixed "salary" every month according to their level, but they would also receive additional bonuses if they were commissioned.
In addition, board and lodging are free in the college, and educational resources on spells are free of charge. For folk spellcasters, spell tools are very valuable. In the college, not only are there a full range of styles, including swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks for you to choose from, but you even have a certain chance of getting one directly by applying.
It can be said that the college is quite serious about maintaining the welfare and dignity of sorcerers.
Even if this treatment is different from the excellent treatment that Alice believes a sorcerer should enjoy - in Alice's fantasy, a sorcerer, who silently protects the peace of mankind behind the scenes and risks his life to serve the human world, should not only be paid far more than his peers and regular employees of large companies in terms of money, but also be given psychological recognition.
The academy has made almost no progress in the recognition of the profession by the sorcerers. After so many years, the sorcerers still believe that "the sorcerers exist to protect ordinary people" and "protecting world peace is the sorcerers' mission". It emphasizes the Buddhist mentality that the higher the moral level of the sorcerers, the longer they can eat the pie. They don't consider making a delicious pie at all, so Alice wants to work hard in her own way.
After all, Poetry is not an ordinary sorcerer.
If it were an ordinary sorcerer, the college wouldn't care about the fact that he couldn't make a living on his own. They would definitely think that it was all due to the other party's limited ability and that it was his own fault.
However, poetry is a superb sorcerer.
If the top-class sorcerer that the academy put forward as a facade cannot live a decent life, then the academy will be the one to be slapped in the face. That's why Shizi was assigned this commission that was totally a waste of her talent - strictly speaking, she was taking advantage of the commission fee from Nanami Kento and Haibara Kuma.
【…】
Shi Shi felt embarrassed because she had benefited from the help of two classmates. However, after the commission was completed, she would be grateful for the arrangement made by the college.
It was too dangerous - if she hadn't happened to be traveling with two classmates this time, the consequences would have been disastrous when facing a target curse spirit that suddenly increased from level three to level two!
While Shi Shi was celebrating, on the other hand, Geto Suguru was still worried.
He was now thinking about some issues that he could not tell others. He thought these issues were very important and might even shake the foundation of his actions as a sorcerer.
That is the idea that "sorcerers exist to protect ordinary people."
In the past, he took it for granted as the truth and acted accordingly. However, after receiving the escort request from Tenriko, Geto Suguru began to doubt his once unwavering belief.
——Are ordinary people really worth a sorcerer risking his life to protect?
This was a thought that could not be known to others, because it was completely different from the image he had shown in the past.
He was sure that it was not someone else. If it was his past self who suddenly appeared in front of him now and knew that he would seriously think about such things, then his past self would definitely beat him to a pulp with his fists. The him with firm beliefs would definitely be much stronger than the him who was now pondering dirty thoughts, right?
grim Reaper--
"Come on, don't lose to those boring guys!"
Ichigo Kurosaki silently cheered for Geto Suguru who was in a dilemma.
He is a Shinigami agent. Although he is a human, he performs the functions of a Shinigami and works to protect humans from being harmed by hollows. Although he doesn't usually say it, he is actually quite proud of this unpaid job.
"..." Rukia Kuchiki, who had lost all her powers as a god of death, sat on Ichigo Kurosaki's bed and looked at him silently.
Rukia didn't know whether she should explain: the god of death does have the obligation to save humans from the threat of the hollows, but the god of death's job is to maintain the balance of the soul world, the real world, and the Hueco Mundo. This is the premise! On top of this, all problems that conflict with this premise will be violently eliminated by the god of death.
For millions of years, the reason why the God of Death has acted like the protector of mankind, and even made Ichigo Kurosaki have the "misunderstanding" that the God of Death is to protect mankind, is simply because humans do not have the ability to threaten the balance of the three realms...
If one day, human talent, technology, or other things advance to the level that affects the balance of the three realms, then at that time, the one standing opposite to humans may be the god of death.
One Punch Man——
"Hey, Genos, isn't this a bit bad? That boy seems to be getting a little too obsessed."
"Yes, teacher. After all, he doesn't have a teacher like me by his side. When he encounters a major event that will affect his cognition, he will actively walk into a dead end if he relies on his own thinking - this is not uncommon at that age."
"Oh, oh~. Genos, you are so good at talking."
Saitama felt a little sorry that a young man who aspired to be a hero might go astray.
In their world, heroes are respected professions that stand on the surface stage and fight monsters for the safety of the people.
Yes, profession, hero has become a profession, not just a recognition.
At first glance, this doesn't sound like a good thing. Professional heroes... it seems to tarnish the concept of "heroes".
In fact, when being a hero becomes a profession, there should be many people with evil intentions who join the hero industry only for money and fame, right?
But it is undeniable that: at least on the surface, all professional heroes must behave and speak in a way that conforms to mainstream social values.
From this perspective, professional heroes will not fall into the same troubles as Geto Suguru, because Geto Suguru is more pure as a "hero".
People who work in related industries purely because of their beliefs or, to put it another way, because of their hobbies, can easily suffer from the gap between the actual situation in the industry and their ideals.
If you can't get out of it, it's not uncommon for people to stay away from the industry they once loved because of the reality. In the case of Xia Yujie, he originally set his beliefs too high and his moral standards were too high, so he was repeatedly hit in reality.
On the contrary, the girl named Mingming in the light curtain can smoothly transition from ideal to reality.
"Teacher, what do you think we should do next? What would be helpful to Geto Suguru now? I'd like to hear your opinion."
