So the three of them went deep into the Bamboo Forest of the Lost and found an open space where they could easily use the spell cards.

"I'll briefly explain the concept of spell cards here—"

Alice held a 'spell card' (something similar to a card) in her hand and said, "The most important rule of spell cards is the 'named duel method.' The name of the move is recorded on the card in the form of a contract, and the move must be performed in accordance with the name of the move to be considered valid. This contract is called a 'spell card.' Although this card is used more often, sometimes it is not necessary to use the move in the form of a card."

Many people's moves are different from bullet hell; they require the use of items or special techniques to perform. Such moves are naturally unlikely to be sealed in spell cards.

Just like Alice's puppet attacks, many of them are special moves of the puppets, and many are physical. Naturally, they cannot be thrown out in the form of cards to hit people.

"I think I understand—"

After listening for a while, Mo Yi understood that the most important thing in the so-called Spell Card Battle was to first make his moves pass the spell card rules inscribed in the Gensokyo barrier. Only moves that had been identified and restricted by the relevant rules of the Gensokyo barrier could be considered 'spell cards'.

Any move that has been identified and restricted by the Gensokyo Barrier will have its power reduced to a level that the Gensokyo Barrier can easily absorb, and its special effects will not be weakened much. This is why Yuuka Kazami said that 'Spell Card Battle' is a game.

"A 'spell card contract' inexplicably formed in my mind—"

Guided by Alice, Mo Yi quickly sensed the so-called Gensokyo barrier. He then communicated with her telepathically, and Alice's blank spell card appeared in his hand. Finally, he tried to infuse the spell card with the entire process and principles of the technique, which would then transform into the corresponding spell card through the Gensokyo barrier.

"Alright—"

Alice and Reisen, seeing how easily Mo Yi produced his first spell card, went up to watch out of curiosity.

"Mr. Mo Yi, why don't we give it a try? It's easy to create a spell card for the first time and end up with an effect that is far from what you imagined."

"Shattering Fire— "

After learning about the process of creating spell cards, Mo Yi thought of the skills of heroes in Honor of Kings. Those skills already had special effects, effects, range, and various principles laid out on the spot. So Mo Yi randomly picked a hero's skill as a template.

Shattering Fire is Annie the Dark Child's skill, which fires a fireball at the opponent.

That's right, it's the legendary symbol of a mage—the Fireball spell!

A weakling's fireball spell won't even scratch a bear, while a powerful mage can master it to an unparalleled level, defeating any enemy with a single fireball! Just look at the legendary Xiao, who saved the world by conjuring fireballs.

The spell card that is successfully created is not actually a spell card in your own possession, but rather it can be released from the Gensokyo barrier as long as you activate the spell card in your heart and release the corresponding magic power.

The power of a spell card depends mainly on the completeness of the creator's ideas when making the spell card, as well as the amount of energy inputted.

The stronger a person is, the better they understand power itself, and the greater the amount of power they can instantly input. Therefore, the stronger a person is, the stronger they tend to be when playing Spell Card Battle.

Of course, the creativity in creating spell cards is also very important. For example, the Alice doll army series is far more complex and varied in terms of its creative ideas than simply firing magic bullets. Under the same conditions of not producing much power, it can often achieve a much greater effect than a simple and mindless spell card like 'magic bullet'.

"Shattering Fire— "

The most important principle in Spell Card Battle is the attack declaration; you can only unleash your move after announcing its name.

As Mo Yi his attack, he fired a series of fireballs forward with his right hand. Without cutting off his magic supply, his right hand was like a magic machine gun, firing non-stop!

"Mr. Mo Yi, you're amazing!"

"As expected of Mo Yi, he easily accomplished what we couldn't. To create such a combat-ready spell card on his very first attempt—"

As the male protagonist, how could he not have a couple of casual fans around him to flatter Mo Yi while he was cultivating?!

That's right, Reisen and Alice were in charge of this task at the time.

Mo Yi: "..."

This mutual flattery made Mo Yi a little embarrassed!

I have a feeling that I'm about to suffer a setback.

"Damn it!!"

The person who made that somewhat eerie voice was naturally the Her Highness the Princess who had been hiding in the time barrier, secretly protecting Mo Yi (×). At this moment, it should be me acting as a tool for mutual flattery!

In fact, the Princess had been waiting for the right opportunity to appear, such as the chance to teach Mo Yi the rules of spell cards. However, she had been staying at Eientei all the time and knew nothing about dealing with spell cards. When Alice was explaining, she even had a sudden realization that it was how it was.

After some experimentation, Mo Yi created enough spell cards based on common skill settings in various games. The next step was to put them into practice.

However, what happened next left Mo Yi quite bewildered.

First, there was Alice. When she actually fought Mo Yi, she didn't show the same fierce and powerful aura as she did on stage. Mo Yi eventually discovered a pattern: by standing still, he could perfectly dodge Alice's spell card attacks.

Could this be Alice's weakness?!

Mo Yi certainly wouldn't think that way. He believed that Alice was hesitant to act because of their friendship, which was quite normal.

Alice like this was naturally useless in actual combat, so Mo Yi changed his next opponent— Reisen!

They discovered that the other person's situation was similar to Alice's, or even worse!

Alice at least looked no different from usual, while Reisen's spell card attacks were wildly off-target, even veering off course several times, threatening the Her Highness the Princess hiding in the time barrier.

Her Highness the Princess: "..."

A bunch of useless bastards!

As expected, only I, the Princess, am the woman who can truly help Mo Yi!

The Princess, who had been hiding in the sidelines creating her own set of spell cards, was preparing for a dazzling entrance.

Let me, the Princess, be your opponent, Mo Yi.

Or perhaps, if I'm not around for a while, Mo Yi, you'll run into trouble you can't solve. Sure enough, things just won't work without me.

Okay, okay, deliver your cool lines in a calm tone and make a dazzling entrance.

"Let me be your practice opponent, Mo Yi— "

Princess:"..."

I haven't even appeared yet, who the hell stole my lines?!

As a somewhat familiar voice rang out, Mo Yi looked over and saw Young Yuuka holding a parasol.

Where did this Reimu Hakurei come from?!

"Yuuka, aren't you participating in a spell card competition?"

"I got bored after playing for a while, so I came over to check you out—"

Mo Yi: "..."

You didn't just follow along to take a look; you were secretly observing—in layman's terms, you were spying!
