It's All Ideology's Fault

Kagura wasn't sure if Sister Yomi had fully recovered, but she knew that this was a golden opportunity that wouldn't come again. Such a good chance to teach Bell lesson wasn't something that came around every day!

It was probably during this time that Yomi realized that Bell wouldn't take Kagura's harmless pranks seriously.

So, after hearing Kagura's suggestion, she ignored Bell's crazy hints on the other side, smiled and walked to the edge of the Dojo, giving up her spot to Kagura.

Next, it was time for revenge. Kagura had long wanted to teach Bell, that scoundrel who had secretly kidnapped her older sister, a lesson.

She had to let them know that Sister Yomi's family was not to be trifled with!

If the other party dares to bully Sister Yomi in the future by relying on the contract, she will not let them off!

"Stop running! How can you learn Kendo if you keep running like this!"

Seeing that Bell was as slippery as a rabbit, Kagura's eyes lit up and she came up with a way to intimidate him with righteousness.

They were the ones who asked me to learn Kendo, so how can this attitude be acceptable?

They didn't even let her cut it obediently; that's so disrespectful to a teacher!

"If you want to learn how to kill, you have to learn how to get killed first. I call this laying the foundation!"

Bell said that Kagura is far from being able to compete with him in talking nonsense.

Even after all these years of training, Hermione is still his defeated opponent.

"You..."

Just as Kagura was getting furious, a space within the Dojo suddenly distorted slightly.

With a wave of his hand, Bell broke Yomi's guard and looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared in the Dojo.

"Young Master, I failed in my duty and the target escaped!"

As soon as she appeared, Jennifer bowed to Bell and said with self-reproach.

"Oh? You found it so quickly? Tell me what happened?"

Bell asked curiously.

"Chance!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind Bell. Kagura leaped high into the air and delivered a powerful jumping slash, aiming for Bell's head.

"Certainly!"

Turning around and pointing behind him, Bell used Full Body-Bind Curse to control Kagura.

Are you planning to kill me?

Reaching out to grab Kagura's collar to prevent the little girl from falling, Bell couldn't help but complain.

Judging from the way they were acting just now, anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were eliminating an evil spirit.

"We're talking serious stuff, stop fooling around. Yomi, come here and take your sister away."

"That scoundrel! He said no using magic, but he broke the rules. He really is a big bad guy!"

Unable to move, Kagura could only silently condemn Bell in her heart.

"Okay, you can continue."

After Yomi led Kagura aside to comfort her, Bell looked at Jennifer was standing quietly beside him, again.

"Yes!

Last night, we first went to the location where Miss Yomi was murdered, as recorded in the information, in an attempt to collect any remaining magical energy from the target.

Unfortunately, the other party must have dealt with the scene afterwards, and we got nothing.

Next, I divided everyone into 50 teams and conducted a thorough search of the city area. Then this morning, in the forest Young Master you fought yesterday, we found traces of the target.

However, the target was very cautious, and after the team members sent out a signal, the target quickly discovered our tracking.

So the target used a Gemstone called the Killing Stone to summon many evil spirits to interfere with us.

For some reason, our Curses are very ineffective against evil spirits.

Ultimately, due to the interference of these evil spirits, the target escaped our blockade.

I am extremely sorry, please punish me!

After briefly explaining their actions, Jennifer said again with remorse.

She never expected that such a simple task would take them all night, and they still wouldn't even catch a glimpse of the other person.

That's so embarrassing!

Fortunately, Yomi was unaware of Jennifer's thoughts at that moment, otherwise she would probably be mortified.

After being warned by Bell that someone was secretly watching them that night, Yomi conducted an investigation afterwards.

However, whether they relied on the influence of the Isayama Family or reported the information to the Countermeasures Office, they ultimately gained nothing.

It can be said that she didn't know who the mastermind behind all this was until Mitarashi Kazuhiro took the initiative to appear in front of her.

However, Jennifer and her team managed to track down the other party's trail in just one night.

Even if there is an information asymmetry involved, it is clear that the capabilities of the Action Team are far superior to those of the Countermeasures Office.

"It's not your fault."

Bell waved his hand, gesturing for Jennifer to straighten up.

This was actually his oversight.

Strictly speaking, Bell hadn't had much contact with evil spirits. So, he had inadvertently forgotten that wizarding Curses were ineffective against evil spirits...

As is well known, in Europe, most wizards are unable to deal with ghosts.

Even against Dementor, whose existence is similar to that of ghosts, wizards only have the Patronus Charm as a means of dealing with them.

Of course, this does not include a few powerful wizards.

While evil spirits differ from ghosts in that they possess physical form to some extent, they are still essentially spiritual beings.

Therefore, compared to the spells of Cultivator and the incantations of Onmyoji, the Curses of wizards are much less effective in dealing with evil spirits.

This may be because the environment in different regions leads to differences in the thoughts and consciousness of people in different regions.

Magic, on the other hand, interferes with reality by accepting intentions. This difference in ideology means that seemingly identical spells can produce completely different effects.

Of course, all of the above is merely speculation by Bell based on the available information. Whether it is true or not, he does not know.

"Which direction did the target escape in?"

"Bell asked."

Upon hearing this, Jennifer did not immediately answer Bell's question.

She raised her right hand and slowly swept it across her face, and a map formed of magic appeared before Bell.

The map has a dozen blue arrows and one red arrow.

"Young Master, the red arrow indicates the direction the target is fleeing."

We are still tracking them, and this time, we will not let them escape again!

Jennifer said through gritted teeth.

You must get up where you fall!

Only in this way can they wash away the shame of being mocked before!

After staring at the map in mid-air for a while, Bell suddenly frowned.

He simply raised his hand and swept it across the map, which quickly shrank, and lines of magic extended from the edges of the map, forming a complete national map in no time.

"Tsk! That damned rat!"

Bell muttered unhappily.
