Chapter 190

[Congratulations to Vill-V for receiving the reward: Anti-Kevin Noble Phantasm.]

[Description: Upon using this Noble Phantasm, a Reality Marble will be created. Within this marble, all individuals defined as Kevin, whether they are part of the World Bubble or dolls, will suffer double damage.]

Vill-V: "An additional type of weapon? For Anti-Kevin Noble Phantasm... I like the name!"

Now, her long-accumulated Anti-Kevin Armament could finally be put to use.

Even with the double enhancement, she wasn't sure if her Anti-Kevin Armament would actually cause Kevin any damage.

Unfortunately, Kevin wasn't there either, so we couldn't proceed with the first step of the test.

Bronya: "Is it Bronya's imagination? You and Kevin should be on the same side, so why is Vill-V so keen on killing Kevin?"

Kiana: "And they even have a special Anti-Kevin Bounded Field."

Kevin: "..."

Don't ask. Asking too much will only make you feel tired.

In the scene, Raiden Mei is searching for clues about Sakura as she walks along a path in the Elysian Realm, her destination being Vill-V's workshop.

--To my lovely audience, the Great Magician Vill-V awaits your arrival at the amusement Elysian Realm, just on the other side of the tower.

On the gate, Raiden Mei only saw this one letter.

Helpless, Raiden Mei had no choice but to change direction and head towards the amusement Elysian Realm that Vill-V had mentioned.

Welcome, lovely audience!

The moment Raiden Mei stepped into the amusement Elysian Realm, she heard Vill-V's voice.

"What is about to be presented to you is the most spectacular live magic show of this century, performed by a once-in-a-century genius, a great Magician..."

"Come out, before I draw my sword."

In an instant, Vill-V appeared in front of Raiden Mei in a flash, the exaggerated effect resembling a sudden appearance.

"Oh dear, not only did he come backstage during the performance, but he also threatened the Magician. This audience member is really something..."

"Enough, Vill-V, this is not the time for lighthearted banter," Raiden Mei said coldly.

"Why? Because Kevin is dead?"

"Vill-V asked in return."

Instead of reacting to such a significant event, she continued performing her magic trick.

"You already knew?"

"Those pieces of paper falling from the sky are everywhere; it's hard not to notice them."

Vill-V shrugged and picked up a file from the ground. It contained information that Kevin was dead.

"I never expected that after the Elysian Realm, I would be robbed of my front-page news position again, and by that Kevin again. I feel like a failure now."

Being surprised twice by others was a slight blow to the Magician.

You seem unsurprised, or even indifferent.

Raiden Mei frowned.

Vill-V's reaction was vastly different from the other Flame-Chasers; it was as if the bombshell news of Kevin's death was a trivial matter to her.

Chapter 308 The Dean's Favorite Anti-Kevin Armament

"Maybe it's because I'm more easygoing."

Vill-V smoothed her long hair and smiled mysteriously.

"My dear audience, perhaps my brilliant performance made you forget a simple fact: the Memory Body is essentially the deceased. For us, death is not such a foreign word."

"Can..."

Raiden Mei opened her mouth to retort, but was interrupted by Vill-V first.

"I know what you're trying to say—not everyone died, right? But that's from your perspective. When the Flame-Chasers left behind their Memory Body, without exception, they were all prepared to die and ready to sacrifice themselves."

Fifty Thousand Years from now, Flame-Chasers live on in the world, carrying out their mission.

But what does that have to do with Memory Body?

Their memories and their consciousness have both remained at the point of their last synchronization; they can be considered separate individuals.

During the synchronized memorization, the Flame-Chasers were filled with a death wish, so from the perspective of the Memory Body, the Flame-Chasers were already dead.

Their existence is the epitaph that the Thirteen Flame-Chasers wrote for themselves; to those outside, it is not so important.

That's not the point.

Raiden Mei shook her head, her expression indifferent.

"You're wondering why Kevin disappeared, right? Okay, don't be nervous. I'm just pretending to be surprised, but I'm probably more curious about the truth than you are."

Although Raiden Mei saw absolutely no surprise or curiosity on Vill-V's face.

"Although Memory Body is just data, it also grants the possibility of a second life, and might even make up for regrets in reality."

"Isn't it quite interesting when you think about it that way?"

Vill-V laughed and said, "That's what Elysia said too. She was the one who first relayed Sakura's request from [outside] to us."

Sakura didn't want the Memory Body to know about that, so she asked Mobius and Elysia to tamper with the Memory Body.

There are some truths in this world that are better left unknown.

"Sakura, it just so happens that I wanted to talk to you about her. The last time I saw Sakura, she mentioned you to me."

"Oh?"

Vill-V frowned, then widened her eyes as if she understood something.

Sakura has also disappeared.

"This is a bit frightening. She came to see me to retrieve the complete Seven Thunders of Retribution."

Vill-V recalled what had happened that day.

Sakura's expression was terrifying at that time, and she even drew her sword, the Seven Thunders of Retribution, which she hadn't used in a long time, to cleanse her own sect and kill traitors.

Now that a knife has been drawn, and considering Sakura's disappearance, many things have become increasingly mysterious.

"By the way, why are you suddenly concerned about Sakura? Do you suspect she killed Kevin?"

"I just want to know where she went."

"Hmm... just in case, I'd better abandon that idea. Taking down Kevin all by yourself without alerting anyone? How is that even possible?"

Vill-V crossed her arms, looking disdainful.

In this respect, she is the real expert; the number of attempts she made with Anti-Kevin Armament is estimated to be dozens of times more than the number of clothes that Chakravartin burned.

"All the weapons developed by Vill-V against Anti-Kevin Armament total over four figures, but none have yet reached this goal."

"Nobody can do this. I've been racking my brains every day trying to figure out how to take him down!"

"..."

Silence, an awkward and speechless silence.

"Hey, judging from the inflammation just now, could I be the most suspicious person?"

Vill-V pointed to her face, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

"Are the audience doubting me? Are they doubting that my ' Anti-Kevin Armament have finally taken effect?"

That's hard to say.

Raiden Mei stared intently at Vill-V's face, trying to find some clue.

She hadn't suspected Vill-V at first, but now, after Vill-V herself reminded her, she realized that she was the most suspicious person.

To prove her innocence, Vill-V had no choice but to drag Raiden Mei along to try out her Anti-Kevin Armament.

Seeing the expectant look on her face, Mei suspected that Vill-V had planned this all along.

So, in a semi-voluntary manner, Raiden Mei tried out various of Vill-V's Anti-Kevin Armament.

Among them were a giant fire wheel, a huge yellow Humo doll, and extravagant magic props.

The video ends here.

Kevin: "... Sigh."

With mixed feelings, Kevin himself didn't know whether to feel fortunate or angry that this thing could be called Anti-Kevin Armament.

Vill-V you had been even slightly more serious about killing Kevin, you wouldn't have created these bizarre contraptions.

Theresa: "Humo! Hey! It really is Humo! That Anti-Kevin Armament Model Ninety-Nine, I love this design so much!"

Bronya: "Bronya agrees."

Back then, Anti-Kevin Armament was practically a limited-edition Golden Humo King!

It can be used as a huggable pillow, and also as a punching bag for Kevin —what a brilliant and humane design!

Kiana: "It's just a doll, what's so special about it? I don't think it's reliable at all for Anti-Kevin Armament."

Theresa: "Slander! Kiana, you're slandering the masterpiece of the genius Vill-V!"

Vill-V: "This viewer seems to know a lot."

Although it's unclear why things turned out this way, it seems there are still people who highly agree with her Anti-Kevin Armament No. Ninety-Nine.

Finally, finally someone who can understand her genius-level creative work!

Theresa: "Hehe, of course, well done, Vill-V!"

The headmaster absolutely adores this Anti-Kevin Armament! It's both cute and practical; no wonder it's an invention created by Flame-Chasers from Previous Era.

Theresa: "Vill-V, considering how much I like that guy who 'Anti-Kevin Armament, and also because I'm a huge fan of yours, do you think you could...?"

Himeko Murata: "Image, Theresa, mind your image!"

"How embarrassing! "Teacher Himeko put her hand to her forehead.

That idiot Theresa is completely mesmerized by the sight of the Golden Humo King. She's never been very bright to begin with, and now she's practically brainless.

Vill-V: "Since it's just a small request from the audience, as Magician, I can certainly fulfill it. But if it's about Anti-Kevin Armament, I'd recommend another option, digestion..."

Theresa: "No, no, no, I want that Humo King... cough cough, I mean the Anti-Kevin Armament Model Ninety-Nine."

Vill-V: "What a determined viewer! But who can blame me for being the greatest Magician of the Twilight Era? No problem! I'll keep the Anti-Kevin Armament Model Ninety-Nine."

Chapter 309 Who's been sneaking around behind Mei?

From the very beginning until now, Vill-V has invented so many Anti-Kevin Armament that even she herself has almost lost count.

Moreover, now that she's in the Death Space, she's doing construction work while also making a few things to play with when she's bored. Sooner or later, the warehouse will be filled with Anti-Kevin Armament.

And even if you wanted to give it away, you might not be able to.

Now that Theresa wanted to Anti-Kevin Armament Model Ninety-Nine, Vill-V hesitated for a second before decisively handing it over.

After all, it has been proven that even among the many failed attempts to Anti-Kevin Armament, Model 99 was the worst of the worst.

Theresa: "Hooray! Hehehe, my Humo King!"

The headmaster was so excited he almost jumped for joy.

By getting a free Golden Humo King, she can save a lot of money, and then she can indulge in... no, I mean become completely absorbed in her career!

Welt: "Headmaster... never mind, whatever makes you happy."

The Anti-Entropy Leader sighed. After thinking about it carefully, Humo existed in Previous Era, so his actions of drawing comics and releasing merchandise all this time didn't constitute copyright infringement?

Is it necessary to pay copyright fees?

Bronya: "In any case, now Vill-V is cleared of suspicion of killing Kevin."

Vill-V: "Oh? You've stopped suspecting me so easily? I even prepared a special surprise."

Pardofelis: "Sister Vill-V, it's not that we don't trust you, but even I think your plans for Anti-Kevin Armament are unreliable."

Not to mention Pardofelis, even the Canned Food shook its head in disbelief.
