I really didn't want to burn it.

Li Ang nearly threw out his back when he saw this scene. He quickly put away his runes to avoid causing unnecessary damage to the hospital.

"Tch~ I've been hunting swallows all day, but today I've been pecked in the eye by one. I've fooled so many people, but today I've been fooled by someone else."

Li Ang never expected that Araya Sōren, who possessed such powerful and aggressive magic, would back down at the last minute and run away without even uttering a harsh word.

You're a big boss, after all! You're the mastermind behind several major events in "Kara no Kyoukai"! You're the big boss who shares the same voice actor as Professor Nero and Father Kirei!

They just ran away like that?!

Faced with this, Li Ang could only look helplessly at the place where Araya Sōren had appeared and give a wry smile.

However, even though the monk ran away, Li Ang wouldn't chase after him.

The home of a barrier master is even more disgusting than a regular magician's workshop; whoever steps into it is doomed.

It's not hard to understand why Araya Sōren would choose to run away.

Through their exchange just now, Li Ang had a general idea of ​​his opponent's strength.

Although her defense is indeed very strong, Araya Sōren undoubtedly lacks effective means of attack.

For most magicians, this is a turtle shell with high health and defense, a source of despair.

But Li Ang is definitely not among the vast majority of magicians. Araya Sōren's "turtle shell" at most only made Li Ang feel a little troubled.

However, entering the lair of Araya Sōren is a different story. Barrier masters with and without barriers are completely different concepts, just like the difference between Ying Zheng inside and outside the Qin Dynasty.

Just look at Araya Souren in Ogawa's apartment in the original work; even someone as strong as Touko couldn't handle Araya Souren in that state.

Even though the Ogawa Apartments haven't started construction yet, and Araya Sōren's magic workshop isn't that outrageous right now, Li Ang still doesn't want to make things difficult for himself.

[Actually, the host could choose to use an RPG to directly overwrite Araya Souren's hometown.]

"Then let that rat hide in a deeper sewer? Let's forget about it." Li Ang shook his head slightly.

Araya Sōren can change bodies just like Orange, and coupled with her excellent barrier skills, she is almost as good as a cockroach when it comes to survival.

Anyway, I've already scared the monk away. It's enough to let him know that Ryougi Shiki has someone not to be trifled with by his side.

Furthermore, according to the original work, Araya Souren's Ogawa Apartment incident is somewhat similar to Ryougi Shiki's enhanced version.

After the events of "Overlooking the View," "Painful Residue," and "Paradox Spiral," Ryougi Shiki's skill in using the Mystic Eyes has indeed reached a new level...

"Wait a minute." Suddenly, Li Ang smiled as if he had thought of something. "I have a way. Even if Ryougi Shiki can't awaken her Mystic Eyes, I still have a way to deal with her."

[Host, this system needs to confirm first. Your "getting things done" doesn't mean you've actually managed to seduce Ryougi Shiki, does it?]

"Hmm... more or less, but it's a little different from what you expected."

【Huh? ⊙?⊙? ...

The system displayed a series of question marks in a pop-up window.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Araya Sōren walked along the streets of Kanbushi City at night, completely bewildered.

Who could have imagined that such a huge change would occur when his plan was progressing smoothly?

That Chinese magician named Li Ang is a monster. If the fight had continued, he would definitely have died!

"No, we need to think of a way."

Although Araya Sōren was confident that once his planned apartment was completed, he would definitely be able to defeat Li Ang inside it.

But the other party certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to walk into their own trap.

Therefore, we must find a way to trap that mysterious magician.

"Ok?"

As Araya Sōren walked down the street, he suddenly felt a slight pain in his right hand.

I was attacked? Right there on the street?

Unable to believe it, Araya Sōren quickly looked at the back of his hand.

"This is……?"

Looking at the bright red emblem on the back of his hand, Araya Sōren fell into deep thought.

PS1: Here's a supplementary setting that wasn't mentioned in the previous chapter.

Ryougi Shiki fell into a coma in 1996, the same year Slam Dunk ended.

M78 Nebula 756365104

PS2: By the way, compared to Nakata's other boss characters, the monk's strength is indeed not that great.

In a horizontal comparison, a monk wouldn't even be able to beat a teacher.

Of course, the monk is absolutely top-notch in defense; if he plays defensively, even Rin and Illya wouldn't have a easy time winning.

Of course, if the monk is on his own turf, that's a different story. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Chapter 125 Wuzhao Kirie: I want to be cared for too!!

In the hospital room, Wutou Wue sat on the hospital bed, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, her eyes full of longing.

From childhood to adulthood, her world consisted only of the view she saw from her hospital bed.

Even if she manages to leave the ward in a wheelchair, she can only wander around the hospital courtyard.

Such a secluded life instilled in Wujiang Kirie a strong desire and longing for the colorful world outside.

"If only we could go outside..." Wujou Kirie sighed wistfully, "Or perhaps..."

Wu-jo Kirie thought of the rumors circulating in the hospital recently, and a glimmer of hope returned to her heart.

That was information gleaned from conversations among the nurses—a young man who came every day to care for his unconscious lover.

Since the girl was admitted to the hospital two months ago, the boy has visited her every day.

He fed her, read to her, and took her for walks.

This is something that Wu-jo Kirie has always longed for, but no one has ever done for her.

From childhood to adulthood, Wuzhao Kirie had no friends or relatives, and was always alone in this room filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Apart from a family friend (Araya Sōren) who helps her pay her medical bills, she seems to be isolated from everyone in the world.

Wu-jo Kirie never harbored any resentment towards that old family friend. They were not related by blood, and Wu-jo Kirie was already extremely grateful that the other party had paid for her medical expenses.

But if possible...

"If only you could come and keep me company..."

"Itsuki said in a low voice."

She had peeked out the window—at the "Knight" the nurses had mentioned.

He wasn't particularly stunning-looking, but he was still a handsome guy, and the more you looked at him, the more you liked him.

If we were to use an idol group as an analogy, "Mr. Knight" might not be the most popular or the most handsome, but he definitely has the most stable fan base and is always gaining more fans.

“If… we could snatch him away…” A kind of fanaticism flashed in Wuzhao Kirie’s eyes, “You can grant any wish… can you do that?”

Wujiang Wue raised the back of her hand, the scarlet emblem on her pale skin standing out strikingly.

This suddenly appeared on the back of Wujiao Wuhui's hand tonight.

Upon seeing this crest, Wujiu Kirie inexplicably learned its function.

No, this isn't an emblem, but a magical crystal called a Command Seal. It possesses absolute authority to command Servants and is the Master's exclusive mark.

Kirie Wujou knew that she had been chosen to participate in a war, and that she needed to summon Servants as a Master to fight in order to win the Holy Grail.

It was called a war, but it wasn't large in scale. Apart from Wutiao Wue, there were only 13 other participants.

The two sides were divided into red and black teams to compete, eventually fighting until only one Servant remained.

As an all-powerful wish-granting machine, the Holy Grail can grant the winner one wish.

Although this information seemed like a children's fairy tale, Kirie could feel that the Command Seals on the back of her hand were real.

Therefore, Servants and the Holy Grail should also be real.

In that case——

"If I win the war, will 'Mr. Knight' come to my side?"

"I can't wait to hear what I'm saying to myself," Wu Jie muttered expectantly.

Although the Command Seals explained the general outline of the Holy Grail War, Kirie Wujo still couldn't clearly understand the idea of ​​summoning ancient heroes to fight.

In her mind, the battle involving 28 people in 14 pairs of masters and servants was nothing more than a village brawl; calling it a war was more like a group fight.

Although she didn't know about the other Masters, since a sickly woman like herself could become a Master, the Holy Grail must think that it definitely had a chance of winning.

Therefore, this naive girl, who had just turned 25, was more focused on fantasizing about how she would use that omnipotent wish after winning the competition.

"Should I make Mr. Knight my personal knight? Or should I regain my health and go find 'Mr. Knight' myself...?"

Just as Wuzhao Kirie was caught in some kind of dilemma, there was a knock on her hospital room door.

"Please...please come in."

Thinking it was a nurse making rounds, Wu Jie was a little nervous. She didn't know how to explain the red tattoo that had suddenly appeared on the back of her hand.

However, Wujiang Kirie was wrong.

It wasn't a nurse who walked in, but the "Knight" she had just been fantasizing about.

"Hello." Li Ang greeted Wu Tiao Wu Hui with a smile, "I apologize for bothering you, Ms. Wu Tiao."

"Mr. Knight?!"

A hint of surprise appeared on Wujiang Wuhui's face.

"knight?"

"No...it's nothing...I was just reading..."

Wu-jo Kirie covered her burning cheeks with the blanket.

"Honestly, what am I saying... It's my first time meeting 'Mr. Knight,' and I'm already so embarrassed..."

"Ah...ah...Miriha, you really are a big idiot!"

Wujiang Kirie, who almost never communicates with anyone, is now in a state of extreme confusion.

As for how Li Ang ended up in her hospital room, and why he was there, Wu Tiao Wu Hui no longer cared about such trivial matters.

Looking at Wutiao Wuhui hiding under the covers, Li Ang really wanted to ask, "Miss, why are you blushing like a teapot?"

However, maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor of showing deference to girls, Li Ang still kept a friendly smile.

“Miss Wutiao, my name is Li Ang. There’s something I need to discuss with you.”

"He smiled at me, he smiled at me...hehe...hehehehe..."

"..."

Li Ang shook his head slightly. Seeing that he couldn't communicate normally with Wu Tiao Wu Hui, he directly took out his trump card.

He rolled up his wrist, revealing a red tattoo on his arm.

"This is... a Command Seal?"

Wu Tiao Wu Hui finally pulled her head out of the blanket and looked at Li Ang in surprise.

"Could it be... that Mr. Knight is also a magician? Does that mean we're going to be competitors?!"

Fortunately, what Li Ang said next made Wu Tiao Wu Hui feel a little more at ease.

"As you can see, I am a participant in the Holy Grail War in Guanbuzi City, just like you. I believe the Command Seals on the back of your hand have already informed you about the Holy Grail War, haven't they?"

Wu Tiao Wu Hui nodded slightly.

Li Ang continued to explain to Wujiao Kirie: "However, there is a slight difference between us. I am not only the Master of the Red Team, but also the Captain of the Red Team."

"team leader?"
