Chapter 160: Clay Marsha (3)
TqpqThe students had also become serious now. They were all staring intently at Siina.6RUpEU0
V929“But for that person to die, they must spend a night with me.”Uo3HL9
HeZGnqpThe male students’ faces turned red.gUQ
sgA“T-Teacher, that example is a bit……”EXOUhz
8DL5AX“There’s no need to be embarrassed. I will never do such a thing. You gain powerful abilities as a price for hanging something you never want to do. It’s an equivalent exchange. Revealing the price can also be a price, but what’s important is that the Unregulated Eater truly believes that. It’s about injecting a very personal omnipotence into someone else with the power of omnipotence.”8tSWr
JpuFszThe students finally realized.BwXaX6
OqqIXaIAn Unregulated Eater was some kind of human whose way of thinking had completely diverged from that of ordinary people.Za2
cmw09“You can’t learn just because you try to. The idiosyncrasies of the mind manifest through obsession and bias. Unregulated Eating is said to be the most feared existence for a mage.”pOx
mLAZThat was all Shirone knew about Unregulated Eating. At the time, he thought he understood, but when it actually happened to him, it was the height of confusion.ITN
6IiAEAbove all, he couldn’t figure out why the Spirit Zone had suddenly disappeared. Since when? Even though it was supposed to be triggered by restrictions and a price, Shirone had never done anything to her.btrt
0Wcf0‘No, there is! I definitely did……’MQ80RFj
RduaKCShirone suddenly remembered the situation just before.IZx
lCbXc3-I don’t mind if you kill me.XqR
7XAiThat was the moment. A magical incantation known only to him and Marsha.crklJCm
BzZbqD9The moment she uttered those words, Marsha’s omnipotence had infiltrated his mind and triggered the rule.t52f
QxA41JGHis heart was pounding. He had been caught by an Unregulated Eater. What was going to happen to him now? He couldn’t predict anything.sddI
o23‘Keep calm. It’s just that the Spirit Zone has disappeared. If I just stay sharp, I can get out of this crisis.’M5Q
ICVUnregulated Eating is like weighing the values of the possible and the impossible. Therefore, the price to be paid is inevitably large.qi3iR
dl75o4Probably, when she said, ‘I don’t mind if you kill me,’ she had to endure being vulnerable for quite a long time. If he had attacked then, Marsha would have died.wOWt
7qjKGBut why didn’t he attack? Was it because of Yuna? No, Yuna was safe.GCmNuM
QP6EHis thoughts were not connecting. What on earth was happening to him?9kwo0E
LKC‘From the beginning. I’ve been trapped ever since I met Marsha.’Qn3
x9SThe moment Shirone realized that everything had been scripted under Marsha’s direction, he felt chills.ner
R4Do8AjShe had taken him to a bar, provoked him using Yuna, and didn’t touch Yuna.vpLwehK
T62pN“All for this moment?”HdiUp
r9jQ62Marsha laughed triumphantly, as if she had seen through Shirone’s thoughts. Seeing his bewildered face, she was so delighted she was about to go mad.Qq51
Imw“Ho ho ho! Of course, that’s right. Ah, of course, meeting you was a coincidence. I’m someone who turns coincidences into inevitabilities. There’s nothing wrong with laying the groundwork in any situation. This meticulousness is my charm, isn’t it?”seN97MB
Nc4I8sShirone couldn’t help but agree.9O43
gDiIt wasn’t that she had targeted him to approach. She had laid plans for everyone she met in life. Just the small assumption that they might meet again someday.1bf
vAaoNo“Shall we start then? I’m not sure what I can do.”4OXqKTz
77fRNMarsha approached Shirone with a leisurely smile. In contrast, Shirone couldn’t help but feel intimidated. He tried to teleport, but it still wouldn’t activate.kAp34
tzGWThis state was clearly not going to last forever. However, the concept of stealing the opponent’s mental strength was extremely foreign to Shirone.Cq4UCh
BLviI‘It doesn’t make sense. Where in the world does such magic exist?’ox2Mvg
175lShirone felt the greatest crisis of his life. Marsha’s Unregulated Eating was clearly dangerous. It completely sealed off even his last bastion, the Immortal Function.rIDC
PdI“Ho ho! I’ll gladly take your mental strength.”qHiTWb
XHkTAll the mental power Shirone had intended to use for teleportation flowed into Marsha. Using that power, Marsha fired the Sonic Cannon again.OOsrD
GxskIU“Keuk!”wZW
PpFHShirone turned and ran. It was a shocking sight to see a mage running in such a situation, but if he was hit by the Sonic Cannon without being able to use magic, he could lose his life.wpu
zEK“Hehe, I’ll commend you for abandoning your pride. But the fight is already over. Now that you’re under my Deprivation.”6Ugpgm
bGMiUnregulated Eating Deprivation.QsB2A4
aiAmqGShe could deprive and steal from others. Among these, the magic she had cast on Shirone was called Plunder, an ability to steal the Spirit Zone’s mental power.hRWsz
7Id6Shirone moved as far away as possible. He had to buy some time.XqAyFe
6nc‘I don’t mind if you kill me.’ Just by not complying with those words, if mental strength was stolen, then considering it as an equivalent exchange, there had to be a time limit.e6M5
UbE‘It’s done!’Lp0
WLaT2As expected, the Plunder was released, and the mental power returned to him. Unable to assess the situation from behind, Shirone turned around and immediately cast Wildfire.AMGxMQw
GtfmThunder rumbled as if striking all around, and the area flashed brightly.8YPq
KNIThe effects of Wildfire, which he cast with all his might in an open field, were beyond imagination.GvyCyP5
CkJIN“Whew, cool. That’s really amazing.”cHPE
jhG5Shirone glared at Marsha. The fact that she didn’t approach him indicated that she must see people as nothing but water.SvP6NK2
qsUAt any rate, if there was a time constraint, there was no longer any need to fear Plunder. He wouldn’t be foolish enough to fall for the same trick again.2kqHhG
pYTr“Here I go!”cez3mA
3iOIShirone attempted to teleport towards Marsha. However, Marsha still overflowed with ease. And the moment Shirone entered her Spirit Zone, she stretched out her hand and murmured.hhcy
PQjXh“Unregulated Eating. Pillage.”iYOM8x
pFSZowSimultaneously, Shirone’s teleportation was released. Following the inertia, Shirone slid several meters across the ground.Asky9
Q5nwcm“Kuk! What?”hbX0N
uoWQ66The magic was released again. Had his mental power been stolen again? However, the Spirit Zone was still maintained.kvAzv
RYyU“Huh? What?”pw6js
ZuPhShirone couldn’t believe it. Such magic couldn’t exist in the world. He couldn’t believe that what was happening to him was real.Rwta9
4AkWatching Shirone’s bewildered face, Tess turned to Amy and asked.rKcL
eGc9w2Z“What’s going on? Did something happen to Shirone?”jwMfFP
lDAeb“I don’t know. The Spirit Zone hasn’t disappeared. But the fact that the teleportation was released means……”FshwZCC
FKIntAt that moment, Amy shivered as she suddenly realized.nOm
dpgMUNo, it couldn’t be. That would be too cruel. Shirone had put so much effort into reaching this level.2UQGT6K
0d6aTM5Amy’s ominous premonition became reality. Shirone incredulously examined his body and muttered.uhd
QNF“I can’t cast magic.”2GO
Ws0Y“Hehe, exactly. Unregulated Eating Pillage is only possible if Plunder has been applied. Of course, there’s also a restriction that you have to see the opponent’s magic directly.”cxFAhp
OKs0BMarsha explained kindly with a smile, though she never provided more information than necessary, essentially taunting her opponent.MaOu0t5
u43hShirone shook his head. It didn’t make sense. Even if such restrictions existed, the idea of unconditionally stealing the opponent’s magic violated the principle of equivalent exchange.wTAS
pH0v“Wow, such cool magic has been created. I’m so happy. Sound magic was annoying. Thank you, Shirone. You’re really a kind brother.”1UQCC
v5qhxRLight spheres gathered before Marsha’s eyes. It was the magic that gave mass to light, Photon Cannon.nDhICh
Ihi0Shirone hastily dodged to the side. Simultaneously, a heavy flash struck the spot where Shirone had been.mIvnGz
6sVogFragments from the ground stung Shirone’s face. The feeling of being hit by his own magic was truly dreadful.AkHxF
LfPS6WL“Phew, this consumes a lot of mental power? How did you handle it? Really amazing, Shirone.”PSRw26
qgSShirone sprang up and glared at Marsha.qJKd
913He couldn’t contain his anger this time. No, it was frustration. The resentment of having all his magic stolen made his body tremble.8LamLTL
G6aRU“But it’s cool. The ability of an Unlocker.”31UKO
tpeLMarsha smiled contentedly and even flaunted a laser.3WMZ6O
jw9nnGrAs he watched the approaching laser scraping the ground, Shirone couldn’t react at all. Even his teleportation had been stolen.L2q
a4lYJust then, Amy ran over and grabbed Shirone, performing teleportation. She too was low on mental power and couldn’t move far. Rian and Tess rushed over to shield the two of them.7ghkk
5bpl8lMarsha watched them mockingly.O2kmhE
7ziSThe knights were a disgrace, and Amy was struggling even to perform teleportation. Moreover, Shirone, their only hope, had become an ordinary boy after losing his magic.Gk2WzW
6G9c9“That’s what I said, didn’t I? You can’t win against me.”hRZXTb
YDeQ3The situation was indeed miserable. Especially the psychological shock Shirone received was tremendous. An ordinary person might have cursed Marsha and thrown a fit until fainting.xpm9DLs
VfXB9G“Shirone, snap out of it. The battle isn’t over yet.”RRyXCq
fh2Gha“But my magic, my…… magic.”F0D
2TfY27RShirone’s voice trembled.hqR65eA
wICUNAmy understood. If it had been her, she might have collapsed from hysteria.JL33lJ
Zj6To a mage, magic was everything. The mere thought of having it completely taken away was enough to send chills down her spine.Mkw8
jfQwXM“Shirone! Get up! We have to keep fighting!”v3hMLwb
OnQXFUSShirone staggered but managed to stand up.hzM8
KhejzWUAs befitting his strong mental strength, the thought that he must not give up arose instinctively. But the emotional wound was too deep.kCKV0HF
tyyD9L“How exactly? How am I supposed to fight?”CLNo
n2fbSZ“Think rationally! Where in the world is there magic that can easily steal like this? According to the principle of equivalent exchange, there must be huge risks involved.”ywMER1Q
Bs80Shirone suddenly came to his senses. Now that he thought about it, he was right. He had been so preoccupied with having his magic stolen that he hadn’t noticed, but Marsha’s Pillage couldn’t just be activated so easily.1FCd
JmwHeNFirst, it had to be under Plunder. And she had to see the magic she intended to steal. The conditions were stringent, but even these two constraints made Marsha’s Unregulated Eating unreasonably overpowered.UIK
KxoOBlAmy desperately persuaded Shirone.rTOTZk
11gZsK“It was stolen easily, so it can be regained just as easily. No, it should be even easier to retrieve than it was stolen. That’s equivalent exchange. So never give up.”hYt5HJ
pik0“Alright. I’ll try.”WoKqw
2ux9BiTShirone regained his courage. Not that any particular means had appeared, but he couldn’t just sit down and cry.P0riFKh
gpj“I don’t quite understand what you’re saying……”UTcG
i96SRian, who had been listening, spoke up.dBYSLeL
3l6ai“If stealing requires seeing the magic directly, then magic not shown should be usable, right? Like the Windcutter magic you showed at home.”rWxFiUL
xrSBD0“Ah, right.”QC5oXj
amKSrsyAt that moment, a strong thought penetrated Shirone’s mind. That’s right. Strictly speaking, from the victim’s perspective, Pillage was better than Plunder. At least the Spirit Zone could still be operated.MS2L7
UVQ1“Right. I have no choice but to physically confront her. Thanks, Rian.”qq7cnRL
tZu7nAmy whispered as she wrapped her arms around Shirone’s waist.86vFaY
BUvQs6“I’ll approach with teleportation. From there, you try to do something with Windcutter.”WqKTP
FAsCfQAmy put all her strength into performing teleportation. As the two of them split the air with light simultaneously, Marsha also teleported away.ehJG5JJ
KjS2The magic stolen by Pillage could only replicate the opponent’s knowledge exactly, making it impossible to adapt if the operating principles were unknown.iojHig
tvUVbSThat’s why even Marsha, who had stolen Shirone’s teleportation, couldn’t attempt techniques like Patrol or Rainbow Drop.TsQo3B
7OEAmy persistently exploited this aspect. With dazzling movements, she approached Marsha and threw Shirone at her.pYLv4F
z52huShirone reached out his hand towards Marsha and cast Windcutter. Since it wasn’t his specialty, it was difficult to hit unless he approached closely.vbH0QwO
3XNnHowever, this disadvantage turned into a blessing in disguise. Because Marsha had moved much farther away than expected.hGH
kF8M‘What?’haS
2lmMarsha’s movements were strange. No matter how unfamiliar she was with the magic, she could have tried something like Photon Cannon or Wildfire against Windcutter.yPK
Ey4lBut she chose to retreat. And quite far at that.paq9qB
j05MRT“Could the constraint of Pillage be……?”7TH
fuYzhA possibility flashed in Shirone’s mind.1iR
