Chapter 41: Can Only Destroy (Revision)
"Is that you?"
Nene turned and saw the figures of Stella and Shizuku.
At this moment, Shizuku was cautiously observing the surroundings, while Stella, wearing sunglasses and a mask, joined Nene in surprise.
"Nice to see you here, sensei. With your abilities, couldn't you eliminate all the terrorists present at once?"
Stella's voice was filled with eager anticipation.
Despite having the strongest magic power in the world, she was ultimately still a Knight Student, subject to many limitations. Not to mention, she herself didn't have much combat experience and couldn't compare to the professionalism of a real professional Knight.
If a fight really broke out, Nene could kill Stella instantly.
Not to mention, releasing Jibakujin with a hundredfold gravity in one breath would ensure she couldn't move. With Nene's level A magic power, a hundredfold gravity was routine for her.
"My abilities are too destructive, and I can't perform precise operations. Every move I make would involve hostages, so I can only use them as a last resort."
Nene shook her head and rejected this approach.
Stella was stunned for a moment before recalling the information sheet about Yaksha Princess Blazer Saikyou Nene released by the League.
The total amount of magic power, attack power, defense power, physical strength, and luck were all at the highest level A. Only the control of magic power was at an average or even lower level of E.
In short, what was called magic control was the skill of using magic. The higher the level, the more efficiently one could use magic.
When other Blazers needed to use 10 points of magic power to complete a certain operation, a Blazer with excellent magic control could use 2 or 3 points to achieve the same operation, and the effects could even be better.
Magic control was a compulsory course at Knight School. Basically, every Blazer could improve their magic control after studying this course, so according to alliance statistics, the average grade was around D.
However, Nene's magic control was relatively lower than E, which meant her use of magic was very wasteful, and it also meant she couldn't perform precise operations.
Taking Jibakujin as an example, she couldn't divide the area and accurately release gravity in a small area, so once this technique was used, everyone around would definitely be involved.
But ordinary people couldn't bear the weight of multiple times gravity, and it seemed there was a pregnant woman among these hostages.
Nene glanced at the terrified pregnant woman not far away and sighed slightly.
If everyone here were young and middle-aged, she would have already deployed Jibakujin, but with the presence of a pregnant woman, once she deployed the gravity field, one mistake would cause the unborn life to be choked by it.
"And more importantly, the number of terrorists here is too small, only about ten. There must be other terrorists hiding. I can't take action until all the terrorists appear, otherwise, any hostage could die. The League would blame me."
Nene looked around, frowned, and whispered.
She was a world-class Blazer, and therefore, she also bore great responsibility and high expectations.
If people died afterward, the thoughts of the people wouldn't be "it's not easy to protect so many people" but "people will die even if you are here." accompanied by much scorn.
This was also the weakness of the social structure "Blazers must protect ordinary people."
Again, she couldn't easily take action before the absolute safety of all hostages could be guaranteed.
But she was only good at destroying, and it was very difficult for her to protect others.
In terms of protecting others, Shinguji Kurono was better at it. She herself was truly ruthless.
Nene thought so in her heart.
"Then leave it to me to protect the hostages."
Seeing this, Shizuku took the initiative to speak.
"Shizuku's magic control is at the highest level A! And she's also a water Blazer very good at protecting people. As long as she sets up a water barrier, even bullets from assault rifles can't penetrate!"
Stella suddenly came to her senses and clenched her fists with a low voice.
"...Do you know my information?"
"After all, you are Ikki's younger sister. I investigated earlier."
"Mhm."
Shizuku pursed her lips unhappily, then returned to the topic.
"If I want to hide them from these people, I have to concentrate highly and prepare with all my heart. During this period, I can't face external threats and need to be delayed for a certain amount of time."
"I see."
"Leave it to me, I won't let those people touch you."
The two agreed separately.
"By the way, where are the other two boys?"
Nene suddenly realized that only two girls seemed to be mixed in with the hostages, and Ikki and Nagi were not there.
"They went to the bathroom before the movie started and weren't with us. They should have realized the attack now and are hiding somewhere in the mall. But it seems Hoshiharu isn't here either?"
"Him? He has other plans."
The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, surrounded Shizuku in the middle, guarding the surroundings.
Shizuku closed her eyes and concentrated on controlling the magic power in her body, turning it into water flowing from her slender fingers and spreading in all directions.
"Next, just wait for Shizuku to set up her barrier. I hope there are no surprises..."
Stella murmured quietly.
But sometimes fate just likes to toy with people, always making people fear what will happen.
"Don't bully mom!"
When the crowd was pushed by the surrounding soldiers, a boy about an elementary school student jumped out and angrily threw the ice cream in his hand at a soldier.
"Shinji!"
The woman beside him suddenly turned pale and pulled back the boy with her swollen belly.
Maybe because he was taught by his parents that "as a boy, he must protect his mom and siblings." he stood up when his mom was pushed... But his behavior could only be said to be foolish.
Hoshiharu watched all this and clicked his tongue.
"You're just a pig! How dare you dirty my pants!"
Although he couldn't see his face clearly behind the gas mask, he could still hear how angry he was from his roaring tone.
"Yakin, you've grown up now. Don't go crazy over such a trivial matter! Bishou-sama said don't kill the hostages easily. When that sir is angry, he won't stop until he kills twice as many people!"
"Such a pity! I'm an honorary citizen of the new world. Aren't I better than a pig from the old world? I'll just kill one or two hostages, and he won't be able to find out!"
Despite the obstruction from his companions, the strong man named Yakin raised the assault rifle in his hand and aimed it at the mother and child in front of him.
**Da da da da**
Without saying a word, blue fireworks burst from the muzzle of his gun. Once the trigger was pulled, several bullets immediately left the chamber and were fired.
Those who didn't treat humans as humans were the Rebellion terrorists.
Hoshiharu initially wanted to call his Device to save them immediately, but his action soon stopped.
Because someone had taken action before him.
Blazing flames blocked the machine gun, and the extremely high temperature evaporated all the lead bullets fired. None of them could penetrate the barrier of the fire wall, let alone touch the mother and child.
Stella intervened between the two, and the magic-containing flames burned the bullets until nothing was left.
"Come."
Nene yawned again and waved her small hand slightly to comfort her.
