"Forget it, let's just hand him over to the Master to deal with." Illya also began to persuade Gretel not to do anything more, the bespectacled man already looked miserable enough.

After being persuaded by her friends, Gretel finally stopped letting the dragon with its Jabberwocky attack. She lifted the barrier and let everyone return to the corner of the mall.

Kamijou Touma suddenly the scene changed, and the children reappeared. He quickly went up to them and asked, "How is it?"

"Hmph!" Gretel was still angry and didn't want to talk to anyone.

Little Jeanne took charge of the rest of the matter.

It's still a lot of trouble for Kamijou Touma to run errands and have him call Yuxian over.

Not long after, Yuxian and Mash arrived, along with Misaka Mikoto and Uiharu Kazari.

Upon seeing the bespectacled man lying on the ground in a pitiful state, Misaka Mikoto asked, "What happened?"

Yuxian explained, "He is the criminal involved in the Void Explosion, he is..."

"It was Alice who caught her," Little Jeanne quickly added.

Everyone looked at Gretel, curious about how she could catch the criminal.

But Gretel wasn't happy at all. She was still upset about almost hurting her friend earlier, and she was sitting there with her head down, sulking.

As Disciplinary Committee, Uiharu Kazari quickly contacted the police (Anti-skill) and had the bespectacled man taken away.

At this moment, Shirai Kuroko finally arrived. She already knew that the bespectacled man's target was the Disciplinary Committee, and she was very worried about Uiharu Kazari's safety.

Seeing that she was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his gratitude to Gretel for helping to catch the criminal.

Gretel reluctantly accepted the thanks, but her face remained expressionless, and she was not in a very good mood.

Yuxian already knew what had happened. He went over and gently patted her head, comforting her, "No one will blame you. Just don't be so careless next time."

The other children nodded in agreement, indicating that they didn't blame her, which made Gretel feel a little better.

When saying Kamijou Touma, Yuxian apologized to him, saying, "The children have troubled you."

Kamijou Touma scratched his head and said with a smile, "I didn't do anything."

Kamijou Touma and Misaka Mikoto left, no one had any interest in continuing to shop at the mall.

Yuxian then took them home, and they had already bought everything they needed to buy after shopping at the mall all day.

The children demonstrated good initiative in resolving the incident, even with the help of Kamijou Touma.

At the same time, this incident reveals that some of the children have a poor sense of danger.

They have always been well protected and rarely participate in combat. Even when they are allowed to take action, it is usually under circumstances where everything is foolproof.

This time, the bespectacled man wasn't very strong and posed a very limited threat to them, but they still almost ran into trouble.

In this regard, Yuxian had to remind himself to be more careful, as he would definitely encounter even stronger enemies in the future.

Children's education also needs to be done more meticulously, and they cannot always be allowed to have a playful mentality.

During dinner, Yuxian recounted the incident.

Mash suggested, "How about we let Miss Scathach train them..."

"No!" the children said in unison.

They don't want to undergo any special training; it's too tough and not fun at all.

Scathach said at the opportune moment, "As long as they don't separate, there won't be any problems."

"Mmm!" The children nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would not Independent Action and would always stay together.

Yuxian Scathach had already said so, Yu Xian stopped insisting.

He thought about it and realized that what Scathach said was true; with the six children together, there really weren't many enemies they couldn't handle.

He advised, "You should be more careful in the future, and not just focus on having fun."

"Okay!"

"Also, don't always bother others. Remember to thank Kamijou Touma next time you see him."

"Master, you talk too much!"

The children quickly finished their meal and ran off, unwilling to listen to Yuxian's nagging any longer.

Yuxian shook his head helplessly.

There's just no way to deal with them.

Section 184, Chapter Eleven: The People Children Fear Most

After the Void Explosion, Yuxian continued his leisurely days, doing nothing.

Kiyama Harumi has not contacted Yuxian, it seems she does not believe that Yuxian can help her wake up the sleeping children.

Yuxian didn't have the energy to meddle in other people's business; he wasn't Kamijou Touma.

When Kiyama Harumi finally suffers a painful setback, she will naturally realize that she could not have accomplished this on her own.

Just when Yuxian thought he could have a few days of peace and quiet, a phone call shattered Yuxian plans.

Uiharu Kazari was on the verge of tears when she said on the phone, "Uiharu Kazari has fainted!"

"Don't worry, we're on our way to the hospital right now," Yuxian reassured Uiharu Kazari over the phone.

After hanging up the phone, he said with a hint of helplessness, "Looks like I won't have any free time again..."

Mash quickly asked, "What happened?"

"Saten Ruiko used the Dream Device and is now in a coma and hospitalized," Yuxian explained to her.

"Ah! Then let's hurry to the hospital!" The children had a good impression of Saten Ruiko, and when they heard that she was hospitalized, they all started urging her to go to the hospital to visit her.

Although Saten Ruiko is only at LV0 in terms of ability development, she is very approachable and can make people around her unconsciously develop a liking for her.

This can probably be considered a skill.

In a sense, this is a more useful ability than others.

Yuxian and his group rushed to the hospital, where many patients who had fainted due to using the Dream Device had gathered.

When Yuxian and the others arrived, Uiharu Kazari was crying softly, deeply worried about her best friend Saten Ruiko.

Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto were also there, their faces showing the same worry.

The impact of the Dream Device is growing, and the affected area is constantly expanding. In just a few days, the hospital has admitted many similar patients.

Upon seeing Yuxian and his group arrive, Uiharu Kazari quickly stood up and grabbed Illya's hand. She still remembered the True Magic abilities Illya had displayed in the office of the 177th branch of the Disciplinary Committee.

She said urgently, "Illya, please save Uiharu Kazari, she... she..."

As she spoke, she started crying again.

Illya was at a loss and didn't know what to do, so she kept comforting Uiharu Kazari.

She didn't know if she could wake up Saten Ruiko; she was Magical Girl, and saving people wasn't her forte.

Illya looked up at Yuxian, seeking his help.

Yuxian calmly said, "Don't be too anxious, things haven't gotten that bad yet."

Just then Kiyama Harumi walked over; she was a researcher who had been specially hired.

Before she could even speak, she started taking off her clothes. The air conditioning in the hospital lobby didn't seem to be on, and it was indeed a bit hot.

Mash swiftly stepped forward and restrained her, preventing her from taking off her clothes.

"Ms. Kiyama, you should stop now." Yuxian looked at her calmly.

The Dream Device was created by her, and the simplest and most direct way to resolve this issue is to let Kiyama Harumi handle it.

"You can't save those children by yourself."

Yuxian's words spurred Kiyama Harumi into shouting, her emotions running high. "I must wake them up! If I don't save them, who will!"

She was very emotional and her voice was very loud, attracting the attention of everyone around her.

"Quiet! This is a hospital!"

A young nurse in a nurse's uniform walked over and sternly warned Kiyama Harumi not to make such a loud noise.

"Miss Nightingale!" Mash exclaimed, but immediately covered her mouth with her hand to keep herself from making a loud noise.

The children stood there solemnly, obediently not making a sound.

If there is anyone in Chaldea who these children fear greatly, it is none other than Nightingale.

In Nightingale, where medical care and patients were extremely strict, children would be taken to the infirmary no matter how much they misbehaved.

Yuxian greeted her, "Long time no see, Miss Nan Ding."

"Oh, it's Master. Please keep quiet, the patients need to rest now." Nightingale saw that Yuxian wasn't particularly excited, so she earnestly conveyed the hospital's rules to them, asking everyone to remain quiet.

Her powerful aura instantly silenced everyone in the hall.

"I'm leaving now; the patient still needs my care." Nightingale turned and left when everyone had stopped arguing.

After she left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Mash said, "As expected of Miss Nightingale, her aura is really a bit overwhelming."

"Mmm!" The others nodded in unison, indicating their agreement.

Misaka Mikoto said, "This nurse is really strict."

Yuxian thought to himself, how could the security guards at the steel plant not be strict?

"Nightingale was the most dedicated nurse in the world," Yuxian explained. "Teacher Mushan, let's talk outside the hospital; it's not convenient to communicate here."

Kiyama Harumi nodded, and then everyone left the hospital and went outside.

As for Nightingale, now that we've found her, we can come back to her later. The Nightingale we see at work is not someone we can have peaceful conversations with.

Outside the hospital.

Yuxian asked Kiyama Harumi earnestly, "What do you plan to do?"

"You spread the Dream Device you want to use the brains of these ability users for calculations, right?"

Kiyama Harumi nodded. "I applied to use 'Tree Diagram Designer' twenty-three times, and was rejected every time. I had no other choice."

"I've already said I have access to the 'Tree Diagram Designer'," Yuxian frowned at Kiyama Harumi's stubbornness. "Besides, even if you are allowed to use the 'Tree Diagram Designer', you still can't save those ten children on your own."

"Why?"

"They are scattered across various research institutes in Academy City. Do you have the ability to gather them together? Do you have facilities to house and treat them? You have nothing!"

Yuxian's words deeply affected Kiyama Harumi. She acted on her own, driven only by a desire to save the children, without considering the bigger picture.

At this moment, Yuxian ruthlessly exposed her, and she collapsed to the ground, tears welling in her eyes, extremely sad and in pain.

Seeing Kiyama Harumi in this state, Yuxian a little soft-hearted. After all, everything she did was to save those children.

Yuxian did not agree with her behavior, but he was very moved by her original intention.

He said to Kiyama Harumi, "You should resolve the issue of the Dream Device first. If this continues, you'll be imprisoned, and the children will have even less hope of being rescued."

Kiyama Harumi finally nodded.

Chapter 12, Section 185: The Lantern Angel and the Heaven Canceller

Kiyama Harumi nodded in agreement with Yuxian's words, and then took out a software chip and handed it to Yuxian.

"This is the healing procedure for the Dream Device."

"You should handle it yourself. Aren't you the expert hired to solve the Dream Device incident?"

Yuxian did not attend her treatment; it was better to let Kiyama Harumi handle this matter herself.

Kiyama Harumi looked at Yuxian with surprise, not understanding what he meant.
