Chunji’s going to use ethos on the archer and Professor Alto.

Then it’s time some talk action while the gang does everything else. Lucky I get to do nothing.
I'll let everyone else cook for once. I have an idea what I might do, but I'll wait.
Victory flooded Shun's senses. Two enemies, the ones the main perpetrators of Yuudai's death, were down for the count. The wind whirled around her as she entered a freefall back to the ground. There were two left; she could do this. All she needed to do was feast on the corpse and prepare herself once more. Yes, it was just that simple-

In an instant, a blur. If Shun hadn't been so used to moving at lightspeed, she might have missed it and instinctively threw her arms up in a guard. A nostalgic feeling rose as she saw a familiar bladed tail descend onto her arms. She had remembered this kind of scenario before; her arms survived a blow like this. It wasn't-

Pain

Shun's body landed on top of the hulkaphant's decapitated head. Oddly enough, she felt no pain as she struggled to get up. Her vision started to blur, and her senses started to feel faint. Red colored her once peach skin and fertilized the grass below her. So, she was dying. A calm, cold fact that registered deep into Shun's psyche.

A small smile grew on her face as she lay in front of the decapitated head.

A decapitated head

Laid straight in front of me

Mirrors my future and those around me

What wonderful haiku. Even if it didn't fit the rules, Shun could call it whatever she wanted. Yuudai's dead, nobody would care, and she was the clown of her world.

And she was going to make her last performance a banger.

Her arms impaled through the sockets of the hulkaphant. Consuming them as fast as she retrieved them, her body flew right up. "HEADS UP!" Throwing the decapitated head at the longtail, Shun got right back up. Her legs burned, and her arms were numb, but the car wouldn't stop until it crashed and burned.

The same scenario would play out: the longtail would just slash through the head, but she wasn't going to go after him. In her peripheral, the wolf bear was coming in fast. If it was a race, she couldn't be beat. Running straight at the wolf bear, she rolled under its swipe and was in position.

Curled in a ball, legs tucked in, arms folded, Shun activated Overdrive. It was a brief moment, but she learned how her speed worked. As she was propelled forward, an opposing force was also against her. Shun's arms were sacrificed last time, but she wouldn't use them.

Her back was going to be one to suffer the consequences.

At the angle below the beast, Shun was in the position to not only hit the wolf bear but also the short tail. This was her last Overdrive, her last move, her final breath.

A shun-sized cannonball raced straight toward the wolf-bear. All remaining energy was burned into this exact moment. It was an action that didn't consider the past or future but the present in front of her. A present where she would laugh amongst the corpses of those who didn't understand what a haiku was.


The party when they watch Ciara just run in while saying her ethos incantation backwards.
@Sifr

Yeah, take your time. I hope things get better for you.
Cut off your left arm and kowtow a thousand times for your disrespect, junior.


This junior shall pay for insolence with his life.
Sure! That sound good. I think I'm posting too fast and I need to wait others to respond as well.

Sorry for any trouble I've caused.
<Snipped quote by AThousandCurses>

It would count as manipulation, for the standard ones being taught. Though some teachings would try to optimize their PBs by turning them into spells with additional added benefits, those variants would also come with rules and restrictions that make them less versatile than building one through pure manipulation.


I figured as much. There wasn't any real incantation of the sort for it.

Gonna edit my post. Originally I had Chunji use his personal barrier as a shield for Davil.

Also proceeding on, do you want me to request information whenever Chunji uses his Ethos?

Like in this scenario, Chunji is using his ethos to locate the mannequins. Should I ask for more information such as where they are, so I can detail it in my post?
"If you cannot provide anything useful, Ms. Ventura, then silence would also be good. Causing a patient to panic through hysteria can cause fluctuating breathing, which may prove fatal during an operation." The words were meant for the former as the latter brought Iraleth to the table.

Assisting in any way he can, Chunji found everything right in the words of Otis's work. It was a capable solution that could solve their present situation. A solution that Davil promptly denied out of either idiocy or pride.

Filtering out his other classmate's remark about killing Davil, Chunji listened to what Iraleth had suggested.

If anyone had noticed the curve of Chunji's frown deepening at the mention of healing Davil, some would assume that he didn't like the idea of healing his classmate. No, Chunji had a problem with the concept of healing itself. He knew the spells, the incantations, and the hand seals, but Chunji could only apply them with unintended side effects.

"Understood," Iraleth didn't seem proficient in healing, so it relied on him fixing what was left over. Heal would find some use in this setting. Cancelling his current spell, Chunji began performing hand seals. Dragon, Dog, Sheep. Heal didn't require hand seals, but Chunji needed to ensure he didn't create immediate pain for Davil. "Heal," Reaching out to Davil's arm, Chunji casted the spell onto his arms.

Nothing changed.

In under a second, Chunji realized something was wrong. "My spell..." Finding David's arms still needed to be restored told everything Chunji knew. The spell failed. Failing the spellcast was critical; even when Chunji cast the wrong spell, he had never failed to cast a spell before. There was a moment he had felt the essence gather inside him, but it fizzled out the exact moment he cast the spell. A few scenarios ran through his mind, and only the natural solution came.

It was the location itself. The strange place that Alto had brought them into. An overcharged leyline.

Before Chunji could figure out the abnormalities, their time was up. Chunji's mind jolted into action, and he immediately moved into position. Chunji threw his arm towards Davil, shielding him from the incoming arrow. The arrow would be caught by the smoke and sent flying deep into the ground. Otis could handle himself as he most likely had a Personal Barrier active.

Their mannequin attackers concealed themselves within the dense forest. However, they could not hide from Chunji's eyes. "透过现象看本质," The Doctor's eyes glowed and searched for them. Chunji would inform his classmates the locations of the mannequins if he had located them.

Rio would probably lose to Alto, and Chloe had a slow reaction time; they needed to finish the mannequins before anything else.
Damn, you're so good at world building Nanaya.

So would Personal Barrier classify as a spell or a manipulation?

Sorry for the redundanct question.
