After accepting her Gege's advice, Shanna raised her Wand, and the flames on the ground ignited by the "Train" began to converge towards Shanna in the air.

Long streaks of flame, like dragons, swirled and burned around Shanna, making Shanna look like a House-elf.

Several evil spirits suddenly leaped out from the rubble of the building, covering a distance of more than 10 meters, and pounced on Shanna.

Having learned from her previous experience of being attacked, Shanna remained calm this time. The little girl controlled the flames to form a shield, blocking the path of the evil spirit.

Without any suspense, the evil spirit was burned to ashes the moment it came into contact with the flames.

"Gege, why can these bad guys jump so high? They look exactly like those weaklings down there!"

Shanna was very puzzled.

But it's okay. As the saying goes, if you have a problem, ask your Gege. The little girl believes that her Gege will definitely be able to answer her questions.

While asking questions, Shanna didn't forget to continue controlling the flames, burning the few ugly creatures that rushed at her again to ashes.

As for the issue of "weakling," Bell has basically given up. He has told his sister countless times not to use such an impolite word as "weakling."

Unfortunately, it had no effect whatsoever.

As for his younger sister's question, how would Bell know the answer?

This was the first time he'd ever encountered an evil spirit today, aside from knowing that the weakling at his feet... ugh! Bell seemed to understand why his warnings hadn't worked...

Aside from knowing that the "Train" beneath his feet was a B-Rank Evil Spirit, Bell still knew nothing about other evil spirits.

"Ahem, these... these should be ' Elite Monster '!"

Bell glanced furtively at Yomi, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the other nod.

"Elite Monster?"

This was the first time Shanna had heard this word.

"Does this mean the same thing my Gege always talks about, Elite Wizard?"

"That's right! Just like how a few exceptionally strong elites occasionally emerge among wizards, when the number of monsters increases, some elite individuals will also emerge."

Bell glanced at Yomi again, and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing him nod once more.

Looks like I guessed right.

"Oh!"

Shanna nodded. As expected of her Gege, there's really no problem that can stump Gege!

With her questions answered, Shanna refocused her attention on the battle at hand.

The little girl was like a conductor in a concert, and with the wave of her Wand, the flames played different notes in the air.

Shanna discovered that compared to frantically throwing Explosion Curse at the beginning, after listening to her Gege's advice and using Transfiguration on the flames on the ground, not only did her magic consumption decrease, but her speed in clearing monsters also increased significantly.

Moreover, with less debris and dust kicked up by the Explosion Curse, her vision became much clearer.

Watching Shanna vanish into thin air with a wave of her hand, Yomi felt a sense of relief, but was also extremely shocked.

It's one thing for Bell, as the Gege, to lack her strength. But even his younger sister, Shanna, is this strong?!

Yomi estimated that even among her teammates in the Countermeasures Office, none of them could handle the siege of so many low-level evil spirits so easily on their own.

So are all wizards monsters?!

Having developed a deep misunderstanding of wizards, Yomi glanced down at the "Lion King" in his hand and suddenly didn't find it so appealing anymore.

"What use is this katana to me...?"

Ahem, sorry, I misspoke...

To this day, Yomi still believes that the longsword in his hand is the strongest.

But tonight, after watching Bell and Shanna's performance, Yomi has become somewhat interested in magic. She plans to learn more about it if she has the time.

"Hmph! My Gege really didn't anticipate my growth. These little monsters are a piece of cake for me now. Gege must be very surprised!"

Little Shanna felt like she had it all figured out. The little "Train" at her Gege's feet was already hers.

However, considering that her Gege wanted to use the little "Train" for experiments, she would be careful not to kill him.

As a loving Gege sister who cares deeply for her brother, Shanna wouldn't ruin Gege plans. So she'll return the little ' Train ' to Gege alive.

Just as Shanna was about to hum a song and dance triumphantly, a dark shadow suddenly flashed past her.

A translucent Shield Charm shield appeared, and amidst sparks, the dark figure vanished into the shadows of the ruins.

"Careful!"

Hearing the belated reminder from Sister Yomi, and seeing the cracks appearing on the shield in front of her, Shanna wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

Even though her own shield was broken, she still had many layers of shields from the jewelry her Gege gave her... 5? 7? In short, many, many layers, to protect her, but Shanna was still terrified.

Incidentally, although Shanna also wears Crisis Perception Earring, the role of this magical item in combat is actually very limited.

First, the cues from the earrings are very subtle. Therefore, they can easily be missed during intense battles.

As for why the notification fluctuation wasn't set stronger?

For details, please refer to the example of a cell phone ringing suddenly in your ear while you are sound asleep at night.

If you're fully focused on a battle and are startled by a sudden notification, you might just get yourself killed.

Secondly, earrings cannot clearly identify the target of a crisis.

For example, right now, facing the siege of numerous evil spirits, the earring keeps twitching, but Shanna has long since ignored it.

Therefore, even though the earring had given Shanna a warning before the attack, Shanna didn't pay any attention to it.

Aside from these two drawbacks, there are actually many other ways to bypass the warnings from the crisis perception system. No magical item is invincible.

Those guys who accidentally obtain one or two powerful magical items and then lose all sense of self-importance usually die within the first or second episode.

Only true strength lies in one's own power.

This was the first time since Shanna was born that a bad guy had shoved something into her face. It felt absolutely awful.

The little girl was angry. Not only because she had just been startled, but also because that scoundrel had embarrassed her in front of her Gege!

Unforgivable!

An angry Shanna raised her Wand again, gathering all the flames at the tip.

"Bell! Stop Shanna!"

Looking at the huge fireball, like a small sun, burning fiercely at the tip of Shanna's staff, Yomi couldn't help but feel a chill.

If Shanna were to unleash that giant fireball, Yomi didn't know whether the suddenly appearing B-Rank Evil Spirit "Kama Itachi" would die. But she did know that the affected area tonight would expand at least several times over.
