“Take this chance and surrender.”
Shinomiya Kuro looked down at Rei Qing.
The power she was unleashing was something even she couldn’t stop if it continued.
“Surrender?”
Rei Qing shook his head and laughed. “No, I just want to try out the… power I’ve recently acquired.”
Freeze!!!
No chill or ice crystals formed.
This was the first time he was truly utilizing the conceptual power of freezing.
Void!!!
In an instant, all the sounds of the crowd in the duel arena stopped.
Everyone's expressions and movements were frozen in place.
The fragmented space around him didn't change either.
Then.
He stepped out of this area with an air of ease.
And leisurely walked towards Shinomiya Kuro.
The members of the chat group looked at this scene with confusion.
Akame: “Why isn’t anyone moving?”
Yukari Takeba: “@Stella, is the live stream having issues?”
She mentioned Stella.
But there was no response.
Yotsuba Yayoi: “This is so strange.”
Friede: “I think I understand.”
Sakurajima Mai: “Understand what?”
Friede: “It’s time! And space! They've been frozen!”
Friede’s eyes were bright and curious.
Friede: “How was this done? @Rei Qing!”
Rei Qing: “Oh, it’s just a simple matter of freezing time and space in this duel arena.”
Sakurajima Mai: “Freeze time? And space?”
Akame: “Amazing… can ice do something like this?”
Friede: “This is an area worth researching.”
Friede: “If the temperature of the ice is low enough, it could potentially cause molecular motion to cease, thereby achieving an ‘frozen space’ effect in appearance.”
Friede: “But freezing time…”
Rei Qing: “My ability isn’t ice. It’s literally freezing.”
Friede: “!!!”
Friede: “Oh right! How could I forget that!”
Friede: “Freeze… freeze… such an interesting ability. I kind of want to research it.”
Friede: “Can I trade with you?”
Rei Qing: “We’ll talk about that later.”
He had already reached Shinomiya Kuro.
With a thought.
He unfroze the area.
At the same time, an ice sword was pressed against her throat.
“You lost.”
Hearing that nightmare-like voice, Shinomiya Kuro’s body trembled.
Her eyes fluctuated violently.
“How…?”
“When did you escape from the shattered spacetime?”
She didn't see what happened in that moment.
Was it that strange ability again?
To this, Rei Qing smiled mysteriously.
“It’s not just you who can interfere with time in this world.”
Time!
This time, Shinomiya Kuro understood.
Rei Qing also possessed some kind of time-manipulating ability.
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of her lips. “I lost.”
Suddenly, her eyes narrowed.
“No good, spacetime shattering is out of control!”
“What’s happening?!”
A white-haired girl with a black hair band looked in panic at the fragmented space spreading towards her.
Her body felt a tearing pain within it.
“You can’t control this?”
Rei Qing’s expression was strange.
“My ability is spacetime shattering caused by time manipulation, it doesn’t mean I can control space!”
Shinomiya Kuro was somewhat anxious.
If she injured her student because of this, she would be held responsible.
She hurriedly shouted to the other students in the school who were not affected by the area: “Everyone, retreat, get out of the duel arena!”
“That girl…”
Rei Qing recognized the girl who was being affected.
Smiling, he said to Shinomiya Kuro: “Add one more thing to the trade. I’ll help you save her.”
Shinomiya Kuro said seriously: “Save her, I’ll agree to anything!”
“OK, deal.”
He froze time again.
He dashed forward, his body a blur.
He knew who it was at close range.
Kurogane Shizuku, the younger sister of Kurogane Ikki.
Good heavens.
This girl really had bad luck.
He scooped her up and carried her away from the shattering space, then unfroze time.
Shinomiya Kuro, who had been frantic, instantly saw Rei Qing holding Kurogane Shizuku beside her.
She immediately understood that Rei Qing had used that time-manipulating power that even she couldn't sense again.
Thankfully, she was fine.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Kurogane Shizuku also froze when she realized she was being held in someone’s arms.
Rei Qing looked down and asked: “You’re not hurt, right?”
Kurogane Shizuku subconsciously shook her head.
But Shinomiya Kuro still said sternly: “You need to be examined carefully, spacetime shattering is not something to be taken lightly.”
Then she bowed deeply to Rei Qing.
“Thank you for saving her, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable.”
“As for the bet you made earlier, and the deal we just made, give me half an hour to handle this situation.”
“Half an hour… fine.”
He had two hours left, enough time.
As for Kurogane Shizuku…
“Can you walk?”
“!!!”
Kurogane Shizuku realized that she was still clinging to someone’s neck.
Her face flushed as she nodded slightly.
“Um, please, just put me down.”
Standing on the ground, Kurogane Shizuku hurriedly adjusted her skirt.
