章節 10: Regression? Death Might Also Have Value
If, as he previously suspected, this was a glimpse of the future, then this would be an incredibly valuable source of information for Ayanokouji, who had never experienced such a future.
He locked his eyes on Elsa, searching for any useful details.
Perhaps the person in the video could not defeat their opponent, but knowing the future, everything was hard to say.
For Ayanokouji, it didn't matter if he died in the video.

"I'm a bit tired of playing."
At this moment, even though Elsa seemed to be in a 50-50 situation with Ayanokouji, in reality, she hadn't used her full strength at all. She was merely like a wild cat playing with a mouse.
Although Ayanokouji had reached the peak of human capability, and his strength far exceeded that of ordinary guards, his physical strength was quickly depleting, and frostbite was gradually slowing his movements. Elsa was not just an ordinary human but an elite assassin with unique Divine Protection abilities. Her strength and speed had surpassed human limits. Even if an entire team of guards came to fight her, they would surely be annihilated.
Elsa who was initially standing in front of Ayanokouji, suddenly disappeared, followed by a strange cold wind. In the next moment, she was already standing behind him.
Finally, as a burst of sword light passed, blood bloomed on Ayanokouji's body. He fell weakly to the ground like a puppet whose strings had been cut, and severe pain came from his abdomen.
"Is this what death feels like?"
Ayanokouji felt the increasing pain, and his body temperature dropped rapidly. But beyond that, he felt nothing, and his heart was very calm, as if his own death was just a trivial matter, and he had no obsession with struggling to survive because he knew that such struggle was meaningless and wouldn't change the outcome.
This made Elsa slightly dissatisfied. Whenever she killed, she could clearly feel the emotions emitted by everyone before death, including fear, hatred, and sadness... She savored the emotions of the dying and enjoyed them. But right now, Elsa couldn't feel any emotions from him, as if he wasn't fully human, giving her a sense of discomfort.
Feeling his life and body temperature drop rapidly, Ayanokouji slowly closed his eyes.
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka died.
❀❀❀
There was a suffocating silence throughout the classroom.
Although they hadn't expected Ayanokouji in the video to show thoughts and abilities beyond what ordinary people could possess, if there were humans fighting him, Ayanokouji might have been able to defeat them... But Elsa's speed and strength were extraordinary, completely beyond human reach.
"NO..."
Tears streamed uncontrollably from Horikita's eyes. Even though she kept telling herself that this was just a video, not real, and the person wasn't Ayanokouji, the realistic scene made it hard for her to distinguish the person in the video from the Ayanokouji next to her.
Even just watching the video, Horikita felt as if Ayanokouji had truly died in front of her.
She quietly reached out and wiped the tears from her face. She didn't want her classmates to see her like this, but she still glanced anxiously at Ayanokouji, only to find that he seemed fine, calmly watching the screen.
"Ayanokouji, it was you who died!"
There was a bit of anger in Horikita's words. Even though it was just a video whose authenticity was hard to distinguish, and the exact person who died, Ayanokouji shouldn't be so calm.
"Do you have any feelings at all?"
"Am I not alive and well now?"
Ayanokouji said calmly, with no visible excitement on his expressionless face. For him, the person in the video and himself were just two unrelated individuals.
However, he was also somewhat curious in his heart as to why he could be resurrected in the video.

At this moment, Ayanokouji was also a bit confused in his heart.
He didn't know if time had truly rewound and he had been resurrected, to verify this, he followed the route in his memory and soon returned to his previous location.
Sure enough, not long after he entered the alley, the three gangsters from before walked out leisurely: "Hey, if you don't want to get beaten up, hand over all your valuables!"
The familiar lines slowly sounded in Ayanokouji's ears, and he slowly asked: "Have you and I met before?"
"Huh?"
A look of surprise always appeared on the faces of the three robbers. They didn't know what he was talking about.
"Are you trying to mess with us?! It's useless. Hand over the money quickly!"
'It seems time has indeed rewound.'
Seeing the robbers' reactions, Ayanokouji could confirm that time had indeed gone back a few hours, but now he was still a bit confused as to why time had rewound.
Was it due to his own death?
Were there limits to how many times this time regression could happen?
If his own death was the switch that triggered the time regression, then perhaps death could also be a tool he could use.
Ayanokouji knew he could use suicide to verify if this was accurate, but if he failed, the consequences would be too great and not worth the risk.

"Can you really use death as a tool?"
In a small, dark, and messy room, as the older brother, Sora lowered his head and looked at Shiro, who was curled up in front of him, and said slowly.
On the computer screen in the room, there was also an image of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka in another world.
"Just like when we play games, sometimes we die on purpose to learn the BOSS's moves we haven't experienced before. This is called a necessary 'death.'"
Shiro, who had a childish face, said slowly.
"It seems this person is somewhat similar to us."
Moving his gaze back to the screen, a smile appeared on Sora's face.

"Do you want to get beaten up?!"
The tallest of the robbers didn't understand what Ayanokouji wanted and let out a low, angry roar, ready to intervene in the robbery.
In front of him, Ayanokouji had a calm expression on his face. After confirming that time had successfully rewound, he already had a plan in mind.
"If it's true that time can rewind, there's still time. Felt will come here. I have three minutes and thirty seconds, so let's deal with you during this period. After all, I'm sure you're just ordinary people without any special abilities."
"Y-You want to fight one against three?!"
Before the robbers finished speaking, Ayanokouji launched an attack at this moment.
His first target was the skinny man standing in the middle, as Ayanokouji clearly remembered that man hiding a weapon behind him.
His attack was fast and precise. A thrust struck the man's throat with unmatched accuracy. The great impact spread to his throat cartilage. Precise control of his power made him lose consciousness in a short time but didn't result in death. After all, there were guards in this world. Ayanokouji didn't want to be burdened with a murder case and get involved in other troubles.
All this happened so quickly that the other two accomplices didn't react. Ayanokouji's next target was the taller man.
He suddenly crouched and used his body's inertia to slam into the opponent's chest, causing the other party to lose balance and fall.
Ayanokouji also took advantage of this moment, lifting his knee and aiming at the opponent's head for a fierce attack. This giant man was nearly twice his size.
