“Jin-kun!”
Elsa cried who knows how many times.
Finally, Jin raised his head.
“Elsa, Reinhardt, sorry for the trouble. Valentino, let’s settle things.”
“Heheh, are you prepared?”
Valentino boasted arrogantly, while Jin stood relaxed. Reiko didn’t move.
“Alright, Albus, break his neck.”
Valentino gave out the ruthless order.
“Stop!”
Reinhardt tried to stop Albus, but there was no way it could be stopped by a flesh-and-blood human, and he was sent flying.
“I won’t let you hurt Jin-kun!”
Elsa too stepped forth to protect Jin, but Jin gently pushed her aside by the shoulder..
“Thank you, Elsa. Thank you, Reinhardt. But I’ll finish this myself.”
Jin said and took a step forward.
“Come.”,
He invited Albus.
“Die!”
With Valentino’s shout, Albus attacked.
“Kyaa!”
Elsa closed her eyes. Reinhardt also averted his eyes, but then opened them wide to see the spectacle that followed.
“[Barrier]”
“Wha- what…?”
Albus’s hands were about to grasp Jin’s head, but they stopped just 50 centimeters away, unable to touch him.

“What is this! You bastard! What did you do!?”
Jin replied in an indifferent voice,
“It’s just a simple physical defense barrier.”
But Valentino’s grin only got wider and he laughed,
“Ha, hahah, you seem to be using some kind of Magi Tool for defense, but I wonder how long can it last? Albus can move without recharging for two or three days!”
Hearing that Jin smiled and humphed,
“Oh, is that so. You didn’t bring an Ether Converter after all?”
“What are you saying!?”
Jin then faced Reiko and gave her instructions.
“Reiko, after I’ve neutralized this thing, could you see that Valentino doesn’t escape?”
“What the… You bastard, what are you talking about…”
Valentino was confused as he couldn’t understand Jin’s attitude or what he was talking about.
Jin didn’t pay him any attention and applied the Magi Language he had learned from the earlier analysis.
“[Erase]”
In an instant, Albus freezed.
“[Write In]”
Albus began to move again. But instead of Jin, it faced Valentino.
“Wha- how- what’s wrong!? Albus, he’s that way! Not this way! Do- don’t come hereeeeee!”
No matter how much Valentino ordered, Albus didn’t stop, and soon caught Valentino.
Snapping sounds could be heard as the bones in Valentino’s both arms were broken by Albus’s grip.
After that, Albus trampled on Valentino’s right foot.
“G-gyaaAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!”
“Oh, that’s bad.”
In a hurry, Jin said,
“[Standstill]”,
Realizing that without saying the Keyword, soon Valentino’s arms may get torn off.
And yet, Valentino foamed at the mouth and lost consciousness from the pain of having the bones of his arms and foot broken.
“*Huff* That was a bit tiring.”
Jin took a deep breath.
“Elsa, excuse me but could you give that guy some simple healing magic?”,
He asked. But Elsa replied,
“Why? He tried to kill Jin-kun. So even if he was killed by you no one could complain.”
To which Jin said,
“Mm. It’s just my selfishness. It would be troubling to let him die like this. I want to have him pay for his crimes properly.”
Elsa tilted her head a bit and said,
“I understand. You mean healing and then hurting him again. The repetition will work as punishment.”
A terrifying line like that came out.
