Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

During the following period, Tilan would spend several hours each day with the "Death Rose Society", both to assist them in improving their combat skills and secret techniques, and for mutual learning.

Having been a disciple of the Ghost Princess who had lived through many eras, Tilan had an exceptional understanding of the ancient knowledge and tomes of the Mercury Dynasty, but she wasn't as familiar with the various detailed categories of the Withering Sequence and new technologies; this was also an opportunity to gradually address these weaknesses through exchange.

"President Tilan, have you studied the 'Spirit-Locking Aim Spell'?" one day, as a few of them discussed sudden situations that could occur in modern life, a member asked.

"I've heard of it, but I haven't looked into it in detail," Tilan shook her head.

"This kind of spell is generally not taught in high school, but Edith Academy can teach such combat skills to students under the guise of joint training with the military academies," he said, pushing his glasses up and then smiling.

"Let me give a brief explanation to President Tilan," he offered.

"Those often engaged in security and special tasks will know that during battle, firearms are the most widely used and convenient weapons. Even an ordinary person wielding a powerful enough gun can pose a threat to transcendents," he explained.

"However, that's just in theory. A Sequence 3 transcendent, even without a gun, has too many ways to defeat and kill a mortal. On the other hand, an ordinary person, without extensive combat skill training, would find it extremely difficult to fight against a transcendent being with several times their reaction speed, high agility, and superior physical defense and impact resistance, even with a firearm at hand," he continued.

"Because firearms are so convenient, contemporary transcendents all develop various methods of defense. Common ones include the Dragon Sequence, Blood Pupil Sequence, Radiant Feather Sequence, etc. They can rely on their enhanced bodies and various abilities to directly withstand conventional firearm shots. Additionally, the Slashing Blade Sequence, Spirit Particle Sequence, Tidal Sequence, Primordial Sequence, and others also have ways to blur vision, create decoys, and distract the enemy," he said.

As he spoke, he activated the holographic projectors in the training area, and a record of a past battle materialized indoors.

One side consisted of four pursuing police officers, all clad in white exoskeleton body armor, with several jet nozzles distributed on their shoulders and lower back, capable of instant speed boosts and short bursts of flight. Each officer was also equipped with an electromagnetic rifle that could aim automatically. Their target, on the other hand, was a man with a scarred face wearing a disheveled red jacket, with only a handgun and a modified energy dagger as weapons.

Initially, the four officers chased the man into a frantic escape, as he wore no protective clothing and would lose his ability to flee if hit by a single shot.

Facing the officers' pursuit, he hardly dared to stay in one place and was constantly looking for various obstacles to prevent exposure to the officers' firing lines.

Thus, the pursuit went on for half a minute before the red-jacketed man entered an abandoned building, also kicking aside debris to delay the officers for a few seconds, buying himself time.

When the four officers once again rushed into the building, a red figure suddenly attacked from the side. The officers swiftly opened fire, but their shots had no effect, and they quickly realized what was happening. Yet, it was already too late as the true assault had begun. Using his decoy to draw their attention, the man jumped down from the ceiling, plunging his energy dagger directly into the neck of an officer, piercing through the sturdy exoskeleton armor.

After striking a blow, he did not linger for a fight but turned and fled, once again weaving into the complex interior of the building.

The remaining three officers continued their search, and then encountered a similar scenario around a corner. However, this time the officers were prepared; they stood watch to cover each other and immediately shot at a figure attacking from another direction. Yet they still failed to hit the real target.

Wandering the dimly lit, abandoned building, the three officers realized the difficulty of their situation. They stopped advancing, stood guard, deployed small reconnaissance units to scatter and keep watch, and then began calling for backup. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire

They originally thought that the fugitive would continue to flee and not risk a counter-attack on the three of them. This time, however, things did not go as expected; the man had returned, retrieved the electromagnetic rifle from the hands of the fallen officer, and used a black market decoder to unlock the biometric lock.

As the three officers stayed in place to guard and prepare, he found a good position in a corner and began aiming. Then he suddenly fired several shots, striking an officer's visor and piercing through the head protection.

The shattered orange, translucent metal and blood splattered as the officer collapsed, not dead, but in mortal peril.

Realizing that staying put was no longer tenable, the remaining two officers did not hesitate any longer. They followed the sound of gunfire to pursue their target once again.

At this point, the red-jacketed man did not simply dodge anymore but continuously utilized the terrain to fight the two remaining officers. In just a few minutes, sparks from their shots and bullet marks were everywhere, with bright flashes continuously erupting in the abandoned building.

And just as the two officers were becoming increasingly tense and sensitive to reaction, he repeated his old trick, drawing one officer's attention with a decoy and using the cover to shoot the other officer.
