Chapter 20 [The World]
In a moment of about half a second, only enough for a blink of an eye. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In that half-dream, half-awake, Jack realized the unusual silence, as if everything was suddenly losing its life, even the sound was dead.
But when this moment passed, and everything was noisy again, the dead silence seemed to be an illusion, and it looked like a hazy dream.
But this "dream" was enough to dispel all of Jack's sleepiness, could it be the effect of this magic mark, silence, or something else?
"Fran. Jack quickly spun over from his chair and stood up, and he called out to Fran, who was practicing basic boxing.
"What's wrong, brother?" Fran, who had stopped, gasped slightly, her sweaty blonde hair sticking to her forehead, making her look a little embarrassed, but her innocent expression made people feel reliable.
"Did you feel anything unusual just now, or did you feel a moment of silence?" Because Fran's daily three-nothing made her look very stable, Jack didn't ask Remy on the side, but asked Fran first.
But even so, Remy, who was on the side, took the opportunity to stop the boring training, turned her little head over, and asked excitedly and curiously, "What silence, brother? Did you use magic just now?" Ah, I know, there was an assassin sneaking in! Brother suddenly felt that the world was quiet because he felt the biting killing intent, right?"
Jack tapped Remy's little head, then gently pinched her smooth little face, tearing the smug little face of "I know everything" into a weird abstract painting.
"What the hell is in your little head, but your first guess was right, Remy, I just used magic. ”
Although his face was pinched, because it didn't hurt at all, the playful Remy let out a giggling laugh instead, "What kind of magic, brother? Is it the kind of forbidden spell mentioned in the book, the kind of [Silent Enchantment] that can make mages unable to cast magic?"
Jack wanted to complain, but he knew that his knowledge of magic was very poor, so he wasn't sure if the magic he didn't know existed.
"Isn't that all in the book, and your brother and I can't release forbidden arts, I'm just a little one-ring magician now!" That said, Remy's words did inspire Jack a little, and I have to say that sometimes his big sister's out-of-the-box thinking is quite useful.
"Brother, are you sure there was silence for that moment?" Fran on the side thought for a moment and asked calmly.
"No, I'm not sure, because the moment was so fleeting that I felt like it was a blink of an eye, but if I hadn't had the illusion, I did feel an abrupt silence as my magic poured into the engraving. Jack frowned, and said with some uncertainty.
"But we don't feel anything, both me and Remy's five senses are the most acute when we are cultivating, and if there is an abrupt silence, we will definitely feel it. But you can't easily take your brother's feelings as an illusion, if only that strange period lasted a little longer. Fran analyzed it for a while, and finally fell into distress.
On the contrary, Jack, who listened to it, suddenly thought of something, "A little longer?" wait, time...... Time ......"
He suddenly realized that in addition to silence, there was also the option of a pause.
No way...... Is that mark such a powerful thing? However, if it is true, it will double his current combat power.
"Thanks, Fran, you're really my brother's lucky star!" Jack, stimulated by his imagination, hugged Fran excitedly, and then he found Tifa reading the book on the second floor, but when he was about to test his idea, he realized that he had no magic powers.
Taking Tifa to the training room with him, Jack directly entered deep meditation, relying on the purity of his mental power to speed up the recovery of his own mana.
"Then, Master Jack, I'm here!" Less than three meters across from Jack, Tifa made a martial arts move. In the East, knights focused more on skill than on the skills inherent in the bloodline, and their skill was so skillful that they often had a clever combination of moves, often ending the fight without the opponent being able to attack.
Jack's purpose is to try the magic mark with Tifa's attack, he has seen an old animation, in which there is a villain named Dior, who discovered his ability to stop when he was shot, but Jack didn't plan to try something so exciting as a gun, at least, Tifa, who can control his body freely, will not let him get hurt.
Jack nodded, [Star] had already told the operation in his mind, turned on the analysis and video function, and the next moment, he saw Tifa's graceful figure streak through an afterimage, pasted in front of Jack, her left hand in front of her had been pushed to Jack's chest, and her right hand was clenched into a fist, like a bow pulled behind him.
Because there was nothing murderous to stimulate Jack's strain, it was only then that he reacted.
The magic was infused into the magic seal, and this time, he clearly perceived the dead silence and pause of the moment, and he saw Tifa's outstretched right hand just against his chest, and reflexively leaned back.
The next moment, everything regained its vitality, and Tifa felt that the force she should have let go hit the empty space, and she couldn't help but let out a light "huh" and stopped moving.
"Just ...... What's going on, Master Jack?" asked Tifa, who had withdrawn her fists, curiously, the puzzled expression on her face made her look a little cute, and the sun outside the window shone on her flowing black hair, which made her bumpy body light and dark, like a heavy oil painting, a little more seductive beauty.
"Haaa......" Jack stared blankly for a few seconds, but he wasn't an uncle who was in heat all the time, so he quickly came to his senses, "That's magic, Tifa!"
"Space magic?"
"Almost...... "As an apprentice of a five-ring mage, Jack still knows the eight schools of magicians - plasticity, shapeshifting, curse, astrology, protection, undead, summoning, space, and mystery. There is no time in these eight schools, and he doesn't know what to say about it - but according to the space-time integration of general relativity, time should also be counted as space!
But this perfunctory attitude was obviously misunderstood by Tifa, which made the girl's expression lower for a moment, but the next moment, the girl changed to a gentle smile again.
If the current Master Jack doesn't trust me enough, then keep up the good work, Tifa!
Tifa, who cheered herself up in his heart, completely misunderstood Jack, you know, Jack is an extremely nervous traverser, even if it is a person of unknown origin like Safina, Jack can trust her very much, and he is not worried about the seventh-level knight killing people and taking treasures.
However, of course, Jack is not an unsuspecting wrongdoer, he just believes very much in his friends who have a similar temperament, in the past world, he lived like this, he does not feel that he needs to change, in this world, why can't he live like this?
"Thank you...... With your help, I've finally figured out what this magic sigil does!" Jack happily showed off, "it can pause time...... It's short, it's short, but that's a pause!Ah, by the way, I'll tell you, I'll name it "World" as he spoke, and Jack smiled strangely, a meme that only he could understand.
"Really?" Jack's words surprised and moved Tifa, who had just been sentimental, and she was amazed at the strength and rarity of this magic mark, and moved by Jack's unreservedness.
Although Jack had been vague before, he undoubtedly told Tifa something more secretive.
Sure enough, Master Jack still has me in his heart! You're amazing, Tifa!Ah, will there be a plot to invite me out on a date and dinner? Do I say yes, or do I say yes......
Well, apparently, Tifa, who was excitedly delusional in his heart, misunderstood again.
P.S.: [World] is a stand-in for Dio in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and his ability is to stop for seven to eight seconds.
