Although Aldebaran doesn't possess great intelligence, it does feel pain. Being attacked like that must have been incredibly painful. Although it recovers quickly, it couldn't withstand being scattered.

A massacre of Gastrea ensued, with Li Yu's classmates and upperclassmen launching a one-sided slaughter of the Gastrea.

Everyone watching this from the satellite felt a chill run down their spines. For the people of this world, Gastrea were terrifying, the natural enemy of humankind.

But now? Faced with absolute power, those Gastrea were like paper, crumbling at the slightest touch. This power was utterly bewildering.

This has left many people wondering what exactly happened. At this moment, everyone is curious and puzzled: what exactly is going on in the Tokyo Area?

Where did these people come from? The battle on Li Yu's side was not even over yet, but the Seitenshi was receiving a constant stream of call requests from various regions.

However, the Seitenshi refused them all. She looked at the battle scene on the screen with a complicated expression. If nothing unexpected happened, after today, Li Yu and the others' affairs would be impossible to hide.

At this moment, Li Yu landed on the Monolith and sat there watching the battle below. Not far from him were his classmates Sayaka Kirasaka and Yun Shu.

Yun Shu's magic power was almost exhausted. After leaving a little, she sat down next to Li Yu. After exhaling a breath of stale air, she couldn't help but ask Li Yu, "Class monitor, aren't you going to participate?"

Aside from getting Aldebaran out, Li Yu didn't make a move again. Instead, he quietly watched and let the students below fight, showing no intention of intervening.

"You should keep this experience to yourselves. If I were to intervene, the battle would be over soon." Li Yu glanced at her calmly.

This wasn't boasting; it was absolute confidence. After all, taking down Aldebaran would be a very simple matter for him, and Yun Shu never doubted the truthfulness of Li Yu's words.

She turned to look at the Gastrea below and said with some regret, "Unfortunately, my magic power is being depleted too quickly. Class monitor, do you have any ideas on how to increase my magic power?"

Her talent is Elemental Mastery, and she even gained Instant Casting True Magic, which is like a talent, in the Danmaku. But because of this, her magic power is a bit insufficient.

Once she enters Instant Casting mode, she can only bombard the enemy continuously for a few minutes before running out of mana. Although her firepower will be plentiful for those few minutes, it's not enough for her.

Therefore, Yun Shu is now eager to know how to increase her magic power limit. If she has enough magic power, then she will be the most powerful True Magic turret.

Hearing Yun Shu's question, Li Yu also fell into thought and said, "The only way to increase magic power is through Intermediate Potion, but even that would probably only provide a limited boost. So the best thing would be for you to create a permanent True Magic that can store magic power."

Li Yu was quite clear about Yun Shu's situation. Even if the other party could increase his magic power limit a little, it would only be a small increase, which wouldn't have much effect. Instant Casting would still consume too much magic power.

Yun Shu nodded upon hearing this, then said with some distress, "But without improvement, I can't fully utilize the advantage of Instant Casting."

Her magic reserves are about the same as her classmates', and even her recovery speed is about the same. She is now frantically trying to train her True Magic recovery.

But that's still too slow and doesn't meet her needs. Li Yu just said she needs a permanent True Magic that can store magic power? That's a good idea.

However, how to begin was something she couldn't figure out. Yun Shu couldn't help but look at their all-powerful class monitor, Li Yu. Li Yu had created True Magic himself, so according to what Li Yu said, he should have some ideas, right?

"Class monitor, do you have any thoughts on magic storage?" She had spent a long time with Li Yu, so she knew Li Yu temperament very well; she could just ask him directly.

If you try to reason with him indirectly, he might get upset. In Li Yu's words, "What are you babbling about? Can't you just speak plainly?"

"Yes!" You know what, just mentioning this made Li Yu's mind start to form ideas, and it would be quite simple for Li Yu to complete it completely, since he had already done so before.

"Tell me in detail!" Upon hearing this, Yun Shu's eyes lit up. Her eyes were filled with surprise, and she looked at Li Yu with admiration. As expected of the class monitor, he really has ideas.

"Weapon Storage True Magic. The essence of this True Magic is to construct a small space and then stuff the weapon into it. In essence, the weapon is thrown into a void, and the markings on it are the coordinates. Each time, we pull the weapon out using the coordinates," Li Yu said slowly.

This magic storage is similar to the space in one's own heart, only it can be modified slightly, which is why it is said that Li Yu developed it.

Although Li Yu's special space is used for storing things, it can also be modified to store magic power.

Yun Shu was also stunned for a moment as she listened to Li Yu's explanation. Weapon Storage True Magic? As Li Yu explained, the principle of this True Magic also appeared in her mind.

"What if we anchored the space for storing weapons and then used it to store our own magic? Essentially, both your mark and your magic are from the same source. As long as we build a magic transmission channel, we can store the magic that we don't usually use and take it out when we need it." Li Yu said this idea in one breath.

This thing is actually similar to the Yin Seal of a certain Fifth Hokage, except in this world, it should be called a magic storage?

Yun Shu listened to Li Yu's words, she began to brainstorm ideas, but she soon encountered a problem, which made her ask, "But how do I construct such a space?"

She wasn't good at Space Magic, and that alone was going to be a challenge for her. She understood the methods Li Yu had described, but how to implement them was another problem.

"The human heart is the essential pathway for magic. By imprinting a spatial mark on one's own heart and then constructing a separate transmission channel, it can be used directly as a backup source of magic." Li Yu did not explain further, but instead continued to talk about his own ideas.

Because once he starts thinking, he can't stop; Li Yu feels uncomfortable if he doesn't say it all at once.

Yun Shu didn't rush to ask any more questions, but continued to listen attentively, because this theory really might solve her problem.

If this succeeds, then everyone could create Second Magic Source? Two mana bars for everyone—are you scared yet?

This would be incredibly helpful for a mage, especially someone like her with unlimited firepower. If she could actually unlock it...

"Once the passage is completed, you can draw magic power at any time. However, the problem is how to construct the space in your own heart to store magic power, because magic power is not a weapon. If you put it in, it may dissipate." Yun Shu understood when Li Yu said this.

That's the biggest problem: how to store that magic power, and how much can be stored? Yun Shu already had an idea in mind about building magic power channels.

The problems of creating space and storing magic power stumped her. Oh wait, I should add another one: how to imprint a mark on her own heart? She couldn't exactly perform surgery on herself, could she?

But if it can be done on the heart, it seems like it could also be done on one's skin? But wouldn't that be too dangerous? Even if it were successful, wouldn't precautions be necessary on the skin?

Otherwise, if someone attacks you, and the magic goes haywire, you'll probably die on the spot. So, being in a place where no one can hit you is undoubtedly the best choice, like your own heart?

"Hiss... So, class monitor, because the heart is not easily attacked, and even if it is, the victim will die, that's why you stored your magic power inside?" Yun Shu instantly understood why Li Yu did this.

Hearing Yun Shu's words, Li Yu nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly it. After all, it's a giant battery. If someone pierces your heart, you'll definitely die. The magic source will also explode, so you might even be able to take someone down with you!"

"Hmm... thinking about it this way, it seems like it could be used as a last resort? If you encounter someone you can't beat, and you're going to die no matter what, then you could just detonate your stored magic power and perish together with them, right?" Li Yu's eyes lit up as he spoke.

Isn't this just self-destruct True Magic? If you store a lot of magic power inside, and then encounter someone you can't beat...

Goodness, we could totally go for a one-for-one trade! Even if we die, we'll drag the other person down with us, wouldn't that be great?

Hearing Li Yu's words, Yun Shu was immediately jolted. The class monitor was ruthless, actually thinking of dragging someone into a suicide bombing? But on second thought, it seemed that it was actually feasible.

"But... how do I implant the mark into my heart? And then there's the matter of creating space." Ultimately, the question returned to itself.

"Let me think. If it were Yukino, her talent would be enough to do it, but your talent... you'd need to develop an introspective Perception Magic... or even not True Magic? You could do it with True Qi, right?" Li Yu said, then fell into deep thought.

She began to construct methods in her mind that could be used by others as well. There were only three people on this Monolith, Sayaka Kirasaka overheard Li Yu and Yun Shu's entire conversation.

At this moment, she stopped attacking the Gastrea below and instead looked at Li Yu with a strange gaze. Was this class monitor's approach really that unconventional? Someone just asked a question, and you immediately offered a solution?

Isn't this a bit too outrageous? At this moment, Sayaka Kirasaka truly witnessed the absurdity of class monitor Li Yu.

Seeing that Li Yu was deep in thought, Yun Shu did not disturb him. Instead, she turned to look at the battle below, where blood was flowing like a river, but it was all Gastrea.

"Shu, how are you? Have you recovered? Do you want to come down?" Just as Yun Shu looked down, the mark on her hand rang out, and Xia Yu's voice came from it.

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Yun Shu couldn't help but say, "I won't go down. I just discussed methods to increase magic power with the class monitor, and he gave me an idea. I'm currently thinking about how to implement it."

Xia Yu immediately became interested upon hearing this, and started chatting with Yun Shu while fighting. When Xia Yu asked her questions, Yun Shu didn't hide anything and told her about Li Yu Yu's thoughts.

She revealed everything, including things she could use to self-destruct, and her words were transmitted to everyone's ears through the mark, leaving everyone astonished.

Li Yu's idea is truly outrageous, but it's also incredibly exciting. Isn't this a trump card? If it could actually be realized, everyone should learn from it. Let's just hope it's not too difficult!

After all, many people haven't even fully mastered Flight Magic yet. This thing involves space and magic storage, which sounds like a very complicated project.

Not to mention that it seems like no one else can help you with this, plus it involves the heart... If you think about it carefully, even if Li Yu could actually make it, it would probably be a hellish difficulty level.

"True Qi allows one to perceive the condition within their own body. Combined with the assistance of magic, one can even see their internal organs, although this requires the use of sensory abilities," Li Yu said slowly.

He already had an idea. Perhaps he couldn't give someone the ability to control all the energy in their body like Yukino did, but he could easily make them see their own heart or other internal organs.

Hearing Li Yu's words, Yun Shu immediately perked up. Sayaka Kirasaka stopped attacking and sat down next to Yun Shu, ready to listen to what Li Yu planned to do. This was much more interesting than listening to a teacher's lecture!

"As long as you can observe your own heart, then controlling magic to imprint the mark shouldn't be a problem. This issue is considered resolved, right?" Li Yu said, then looked at Yun Shu.

Yun Shu nodded. If this could be achieved, the problem would be solved. After all, the biggest problem was not being able to see the heart's condition, and if your magic power ran rampant, it could kill someone.

"As long as the mark is applied and connected to the flowing magic source of the heart, it can be maintained indefinitely, just like the mark in our hands." Li Yu said, demonstrating the communication mark in his hand.

The image of the mark also appeared in Yun Shu's mind. As long as you activate it with magic from time to time, the mark will remain. If you don't activate it, it will disappear after seven days.

However, once a mark is placed in the heart, it will be constantly visited by magic, so once it's placed, it won't disappear. This is simply perfect! Yun Shu nodded with shining eyes.

"In that case, it becomes a matter of stabilizing the imprint's space. It would be interesting if it ended up teleporting directly to your own heart. Since it involves spatial matters, I'll consult Professor Nangong later; he's an expert in this area." Li Yu stopped there, not continuing further.

I've given you the general idea. The rest, like stabilizing the space and figuring out how to store magic, is up to you. If Li Yu wants to do it, he can simply modify his own space or create an additional one.

However, he didn't need to, because Li Yu's magic power was inexhaustible, it simply couldn't be used up, the recovery speed was too fast, there was no way he would ever run out of it.

"Hmm... I'll ask Teacher Nangong when I get back another day. I can start researching methods for storing magic power." After listening to Li Yu's words, Yun Shu nodded. She already had a complete idea, and it was highly feasible.

This already satisfied her considerably; the remaining problems were for her to solve herself. Perhaps this was homework Li Yu had assigned her? After all, if the class monitor did everything for her, what would she be left to do?

With this thought in mind, Yun Shu made up her mind. She would spend the rest of her time researching methods for storing magic power. Once this problem was solved, she could then ask for advice on how to stabilize space, incorporate the method for storing magic power, and finally build a transmission channel. At that point, the True Magic would be completely complete!

"Would this be considered high-level True Magic?" Sayaka Kirasaka asked at this moment. If this True Magic succeeded, would it be considered high-level True Magic?

After all, there are too many things involved. If you want to imprint a mark, you'll need to be able to project your magic, right? That's something only Fifth Tier True Magic can do, and it's also a skill required for many advanced True Magic.

Yun Shu was taken aback for a moment when she heard what Sayaka Kirasaka said, but she quickly understood. She nodded and said, "It certainly falls into the category of advanced True Magic, and it's a complete system..."

However, Yun Shu wouldn't mind. It's only the Fifth Tier; she'll reach it soon. As long as the True Magic succeeds, it won't be a problem!

"If you had Yukino's talent, you wouldn't need to be at Fifth Tier; you could even do it at level three." Li Yu smiled at the two of them. Yukino's talent gave her a significant advantage in this aspect.

The characteristics of high-level True Magic are nothing to her, because her talent allows her to do things that only high-level True Magic can do.

Hearing this, the two were speechless. They didn't have Yukino's talent, and it seemed they could only try after reaching the Fifth Tier.

"I'll send that technique for checking your own internal organs to the group later. You guys can study it yourselves and check yourselves whenever you feel like it. Check if there are any problems with your heart, kidneys, or anything like that. You can even check yourselves before you have children in the future," Li Yu said, unable to help but chuckle.

Yun Shu and Sayaka Kirasaka were speechless when they heard this. What the hell? "Go check on your own child first?" Wasn't that a bit too outrageous? What kind of skill was this? Called a self-examination?
