Through the dark night, what... Usually, this kind of plot only happens in gal games when something magical is about to happen. Although at this moment, it indeed involves a girl asking me to find her, it is clear that a tough battle awaits me ahead.

Just as I landed on a rooftop near my destination, two shurikens flew towards me, not giving me any time to react even with my alertness.

Simultaneously, a ninja with a title of 【Unable to Display Equipment Effect】 landed in front of me, obviously not planning to let me pass.

Hmm... she looks like a girl, although she is completely covered up, her chest is obviously not small.

Don't tell me she is a guy with pecs only, otherwise, I'll use my ultimate move to annihilate her right now.

I glanced at what was happening behind her, where several ninjas were fighting with Dragon Princess and another girl on the playground. The other ninjas... all their titles were 【Unable to Display】, and the other girl... should be the original target of that Dragon Princess, her name is...

Her name is...

What? Ryuyang?

The corner of my mouth twitched again.

A Ryuyang and a Dragon Princess, it seems I triggered another interesting event...

"You seem pretty relaxed, to have the time to go see other girls at a time like this, Fir."

Suddenly, the ninja in front of me spoke up.

"What..."

I looked at her in confusion, and after a moment, I figured it out.

"I see, so you are also someone from another world, right?"

"Yeah, don't call it another world, we refer to ourselves as 【21st-century people】."

"You guys really like giving yourselves names, I thought you would use 【adventurers】 or 【heroes】 or something."

"That was indeed the case, but we felt it wasn't cool enough."

"Alright, alright, I didn't come here to listen to your cool speech, so tell me, what are you guys up to this time? If I'm not mistaken, you should be one of the followers of Snake Eyes, right?"

"That's right, but our intentions... well, it doesn't concern you and won't interfere with your school life."

"You've got the nerve to say that, after you blew up my school before, are you planning something else this time?"

"So what?"

"Because of that, I won't let you kill those two until I understand what you're up to."

"...Is that so?"

The opponent took a battle stance.

"So, are you planning to settle this with force?"

"Oh~ indeed, otherwise... it would be too boring to let you destroy another school!"

After saying that, I spread my wings and flicked my hand, summoning five skeleton soldiers holding bone knives from five directions to surround the enemy.

At the same time, I summoned an ice sword and accelerated towards her.

When fighting ninjas, I have to be faster than her!

The ice sword cut through her, although it touched something, in the next second, it turned into a wooden stake that was cut in half.

Substitution jutsu?

At the same time, five impact sounds reverberated, and the red lights in the eyes of the five skeleton soldiers around me slowly faded.

Were they taken out?

I immediately flew higher into the sky, now unable to see any trace of the opponent. If I were to be ambushed, those skeleton soldiers would be of no use.

And just as I ascended, an iron chain wrapped around my foot from below. I was about to struggle free when suddenly an attack warning sounded from behind, followed by an explosion, and in the next second, I was blown away by the impact of the explosion!

"Hehe, only level 40 and dare to challenge me? Go back and practice some more."

As these words reached my ears, numerous unrecognizable attacks kept coming at me, causing a sense of pain. Well, I was used to that feeling, but when I saw my HP bar continuously decreasing, I immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Arcane Frost Domain!

Cold air swept around, gradually revealing the figure of the opponent. Though it was still fast, at least I could see the silhouette now.

I flapped my wings and flew up into the sky while rapidly healing myself.

Then, I locked onto the ninja in front of me!

Arcane Legendary Ice Dragon Summon!

A huge ice dragon burst out of the magic circle and opened its massive mouth to bite the ninja! The opponent gave up attacking and performed two consecutive backflips, while summoning countless fireballs to shoot at the ice dragon.

Following that, the opponent directly jumped onto the head of the ice dragon and turned their hand-held shuriken into a giant firebird, stabbing it towards the dragon's head!

Boom!

After a loud explosion, the ice dragon shattered into pieces with a roar! The entire ice dragon, starting from its head, turned into fragments!

Meanwhile, my HP bar and mana bar suddenly dropped by half, and a liquid with a taste of rust violently spurted out from my mouth.

Blood... Is this... magic backlash?

"Wow, impressive! You can actually use magic beyond your level. I underestimated you."

In an instant, the opponent appeared in front of me, stepping on a floating ice block in mid-air, smiling at me.

"But unfortunately, we are much more familiar with the use of skills than you, and our level is much higher as well. You better focus on being a teacher and stop meddling in our affairs. Doesn't that sound nice?"

"Hehe..."

I chuckled bitterly.

"What I hate the most... is being threatened! Arcane Angelic Aura! Great ultimate Twinblade Tear Heaven and Earth!"

As the name suggests, Angelic Aura can instantly heal and grant invincibility for 3 seconds, but the cost is 500 mana and one-hour vulnerability afterwards. Twinblade Tear Heaven and Earth is an evolved version of the Cross Tear, which is not commonly used because...both the user and the target will endure the same pain.

This is the reason why I need invincibility.

The red cross in my hand transformed into the shape of a plus sign, with one exceptionally long blade. At the same time, I could feel something piercing through my hand holding the sword, but thanks to the invincibility effect, I felt no pain at all.

"Die! Go repent in the graveyard!"

The red blade pierced through her chest, and at the same time, blood spewed out from my chest. I quickly pulled out the sword, yet the wound on my chest didn't heal.

Three seconds... is it still too short after all?

But the only comforting thing was that I saw the ninja's HP bar instantly emptying. As she covered her chest wound, her body turned into pieces of white fragments, drifting away in the distance.

"...Haha...hahahaha!"

Looking at my almost depleted HP bar, I laughed.

"Big brother can heal himself, are you scared?"

After saying that, I spread my white wings, and my HP bar rapidly replenished.

At the same time, the wounds on my body started healing rapidly.

I stood up, then walked to the edge of the rooftop. The battle below continued, with both sides deadlocked, seemingly in a fierce struggle.

"Um, are you going to help?"

Suddenly, a child's voice came from behind me. Before I could turn around, I felt a sharp pain in my back and then I fell onto the roof.

"What...?"

My HP bar didn't decrease, and there were no abnormal statuses, but I felt my control over my body weakening, and my consciousness becoming hazy.

"Hey mister, do you know that Dr. Edison, who is filled with love, created a device specifically for sealing the souls of people like you, who are the same as us '21st century individuals'? This way, you won't die, but you also can't revive... to put it in the closest words, you've become a vegetable~ Well~ enjoy it to the fullest..."

The figure in front of me became more and more blurry, and then, I couldn't feel anything anymore. My consciousness faded away.
