"When you're old... don't you ever die?... uh, are you human?

"It's that person.I can't die no matter how much I scratch.Of course, I don't get old.... take a look. "

Professor Kushira said so, and took an expensive ballpoint pen that he left beside his desk.It's not made of plastic, it's quite heavy and expensive.

Without any hesitation, Kushira pushed her arms forward to show them to the tenge, touching the pen tip inside her wrist.

I had a very bad feeling about it.

Tenji moved his hand in a hurry to stop, but Qiangou, who was standing behind him, pressed his shoulders and said with a small voice, "Keep your eyes open."

Tenge tension rises in response, and an unpleasant sweat gushes out of your body.

And...

Kushira threw the tip of the pen out of the cavity and pierced it thoroughly with her own vein.

The pishali and blood scattered around.

It still hurts.

As a matter of course, Kushira said, immediately pulling the pen out of her arm.

Fresh blood has already erupted vigorously from the blood vessels and is scattered on nearby floors, computers, lighting, etc.A little, but red blood was scattered on Tenji's cheeks.

Still, Dr. Kushiro was just saying "it hurts" with a small voice, and he was just observing this situation, which should not be silenced.

And I said to Tenji as I measured the timing.

"I'm coming."

- What happened?

It happened suddenly before I asked such a question.

A large amount of blood dropped on the floor, the fresh blood scattered on the computer, the deep hole wound, the fresh blood adhering to Tenji's cheeks - as if going back in time, Kushiro returns to the body, back into the wrist.As soon as it was finished, the wound was closed, and at the end, there was a healthy appearance of Kushira in front of her as if she had not done what she had done.

Tenge was speechless.

The reality was slightly farther away from the phenomenon of "something" that could not be described as merely a healing ability, but was an illusion that God might have been there.

Even an Explorer with a first-class healing talent, no one can exercise the ability to "heal back in time."It is impossible to reverse time, even with her famous healing system of zero-grade genius.

It is said that the ability to heal is to create new tissues and cells using MP atoms as mediators to heal.In short, it shows the effect of forcibly activating a person's natural healing power.

However, I have never heard of the effect of MP atoms on the concept of time.

In fact, even the association's database does not contain such a paper.

Tenge kept his mouth wide open and stopped moving.

Hisashira, who has seen such a tense upset many times, spins the words again as he explains.

"My talent is a first-class Wizard of Darkness, classified as weak.Do you know? "

"No...."

"There are three people in the world, including me, but I usually only use my casual abilities.Weigh the monsters, diminish their vision, weaken their tributaries. "

"It's a very common characteristic of weakness."

"Yes, it's just a weak genius everywhere.The only difference... is that it's classified as a weak, unusual, first-class genius. "

"Of course, I've never heard much about the first degree of vulnerability."

While impressed that Tenji remembered his knowledge as an Explorer, Kushira put aside a short time to explain how to proceed next.

With the pen in his hand twirling several times, Kushira opened his mouth again.

"That's why the 'price' story I just told you is involved.Compensation is the temporary exercise of the ability to remove the limitation of a vocation by paying for "something" as the name suggests.Some people call it over-limiting a cheap way.But it's not that easy.It's darker, heavier... something you shouldn't touch. "

"Kushira-sensei's body... maybe..."

"I know what you're trying to say.It's probably Tenji's idea. "

For the first time, Tenji began to feel horrified by the act of "price" that he was told.

Temporarily unlocks the ceiling of your talent and exercises more powerful abilities at the expense of 'something'.It's nothing to ask, it's an animation or a game or something.

However, when I saw the woman in front of me, Kushira Mui, who could neither die nor grow old, I saw her eyes drowned in regret and realized that it was not that simple.

I knew the price was something more terrifying.

Should I ask or should I not ask? I was worried for a while, but I decided to ask with courage.

What happened to a woman named Kushira Mui, what did she pay for her past and what did she get?I thought I had to know.

"Um... may I ask you something more detailed?

"Of course. It'll be a little longer, okay?

For a short time afterwards, Tenji heard about the past of a woman named Kushira Mui.
