Rin Tohsaka: The newcomer issue is finally resolved. Congratulations are in order!
Kanae Kocho: As expected, it had to be Lord Su Mo who took action!
Rin Tohsaka: Yeah! Although I knew Lord Su Mo's strength was far beyond Tier 3, I never thought he could become a Tier 4 powerhouse whenever he wanted!
After the battle, Rin had specifically checked and found that Su Mo's power level had indeed reached Tier 4, Continent-Sinking. This display of "getting stronger when the enemy is strong" left everyone in awe.
If the next newcomer was a Tier 5 Star-Busting powerhouse, would Su Mo be able to directly ascend to that level?
Madoka Kaname: In any case, it's great that there wasn't a conflict!
Madoka also breathed a sigh of relief. If Jibril had ended up leading the chat group, who knows what would have happened.
Rin Tohsaka: By the way, Jibril was so arrogant before. Didn't she submit a little too quickly in the end?
Rin Tohsaka: It doesn't seem like she's playing any tricks, but we should still be careful!
Kanae Kocho: From her behavior, I don't think she was pretending. It's hard for a normal person to act that… perverted. Ahem, I mean, unconventional.
They were all a little puzzled by Jibril's lightning-fast submission.
Jibril: !
Jibril: How can you talk about me behind my back like that? Are you trying to sow discord and usurp my place in Master's heart?
Seeing the messages in the chat, Jibril grew anxious.
Even if Su Mo trusted her, if these people kept saying she was unreliable, doubts would inevitably arise in his mind.
She had just found a lord who could accommodate her ideals; how could she let these people ruin it?
Rin Tohsaka: Getting flustered?
Rin Tohsaka: By the way, we're not talking behind your back. We're talking to your face.
Now that the other party was a defeated general, there was naturally no need to worry. Thinking back on her previous threats, it wouldn't be her if she didn't retaliate now.
Kanae Kocho: You can't blame Rin for thinking that way, Miss Jibril. Your previous behavior was indeed… likely to cause suspicion.
Even the gentle Kanae could only point this out tactfully.
They couldn't help but subconsciously feel a bit resistant toward this arrogant Flügel who had offended everyone right after joining, even if they didn't want to hold a grudge.
Madoka Kaname: Indeed.
Jibril: Waaah! I'm sorry! Lord Su Mo, what should I do now?
Jibril: @Su Mo
Having been cornered, she frantically sought help.
To this, Su Mo gave a simple reply.
Su Mo: Show your sincerity.
Jibril: Sincerity?
The Flügel tilted her head, thought for a couple of seconds, and then her face lit up with understanding.
Jibril: I understand!
Jibril: I'm sorry, everyone! I shouldn't have said you were all weaker than Elves. Although it's true, I shouldn't have said it.
Jibril: After all, you are group members who interact with Master as equals. To slight you all is to disrespect Master's authority. For a servant to make such a mistake is a crime punishable by death. For this, I wish to offer my most sincere apology.
Jibril: [Bowing.JPG]
Rin Tohsaka: …
Erica Blandelli: …
Madoka Kaname: …
Jibril: Huh? Is there something wrong with my apology? Please tell me, I'll correct it!
Rin Tohsaka: What kind of apology is that? Isn't that just insulting us all over again?
Jibril: But… this is truly what I think! Lord Su Mo asked me to be sincere. Am I not being sincere enough?
Jibril felt she had been sincere enough. As for the so-called belittling, wasn't it the truth? These weaklings who hadn't even reached Tier 2 were indeed inferior to those Elven weeds!
Rin Tohsaka: Well, you're not wrong about it being the truth…
Rin Tohsaka: But why do I feel like I've been insulted again?
Through this apology, Rin had roughly understood Jibril's worldview. For this Flügel, strength determined one's right to speak.
She was, at this moment, expressing her thoughts with the utmost sincerity.
In her mind, there was nothing wrong with mocking the weak; the problem was mocking the friends of her Lord, Su Mo.
If they didn't know Su Mo, in Jibril's eyes, they probably would be no different from weeds, right?
With her modern values, she found it difficult to accept this way of thinking that lacked basic courtesy.
But with her values as a magus, Rin deeply understood that Jibril's "survival of the fittest" mentality was not fundamentally wrong.
Rules were always meant to constrain the weak.
Rin Tohsaka: I can understand it, but I'm still angry.
Madoka Kaname: +1.
Jibril: It's still not enough? You can't expect me to lie, can you? I don't mind doing so, but Lord Su Mo asked me to show sincerity… Lord Su Mo, help!
Feeling she had been sincere enough, Jibril once again called for help.
And this time, Su Mo's comment was just as simple.
Su Mo: Not practical enough.
Jibril: I understand! Thank you, Lord Su Mo!
Seeing Jibril cheer again, Rin's lip twitched. What did she understand this time? Is she going to insult me again?
Rin Tohsaka: Do you think we're the type to be swayed by petty—
Before she could finish her complaint, a series of system notifications came through.
[System: Group member Jibril has purchased your Mana Refinement Method.]
[System: Group member Jibril has purchased your Fundamentals of Jewel Magecraft.]
[System: Group member Jibril has purchased your…]
Looking at the string of notifications and her rapidly increasing point balance, Rin silently deleted her previous message and typed out a smiley face.
Rin Tohsaka: You're a good judge of character!
Rin Tohsaka: I suddenly feel all my resentment has vanished. Thank you, boss! @Jibril
Although Jibril's way of thinking was infuriating, she was truly generous!
Rin had put up all of the Tohsaka family's magical skills, including many obscure techniques that had never sold.
Jibril had bought them all in one go, boosting Rin's point balance to over ten thousand.
With this many points, she could finally buy the Great Source Mana Refinement Method she had been dreaming of.
On top of that, Su Mo had recently uploaded a bunch of materials, including many useful arts and tecnique. If she could afford them, her strength would soon surpass her father's.
With such great benefits, being insulted earlier suddenly didn't seem so bad. This was over ten thousand points!
The same thing happened to Erica, Kanae, and Madoka.
Aside from Madoka, who hadn't uploaded many items and thus didn't gain much, Erica received the most points, even more than Rin.
Kanae received a little less, but all the items she had uploaded were also bought out. For her, this was already a huge gain, exceeding what she could have accumulated in over six months.
Kanae Kocho: Thank you, boss!
Erica Blandelli: Thank you, boss!
Madoka Kaname: Thank you, boss!
They finally felt the power of a rich woman.
Jibril: So, does this mean you all forgive me?
Jibril blinked, surprised she had gotten off so easily. With her power, her innate starting points were in the millions. The points she had spent buying everyone's items were not even a fraction of her account balance.
Rin Tohsaka: Of course! Remember to give us your business in the future, rich lady!
Rin clenched her small fists, already thinking about how to trick her father into letting her use the family's Magic Crest.
A Magic Crest often contained the accumulated foundation of a magus family over hundreds of years, making it far more valuable than ordinary magic.
Jibril: No problem!
Jibril: By the way, Master, shouldn't we be heading out now?
Jibril's message caught everyone's attention.
Rin Tohsaka: Heading out? Is Lord Su Mo going to fight again?
After leaving the moon, Su Mo had turned off the live stream, so they didn't know the current situation.
Su Mo: Yes.
Rin Tohsaka: I suddenly feel like it's normal for Lord Su Mo to get stronger so quickly. It's only been a few days, and he's been fighting nonstop, with basically no rest.
The twin-tailed loli sighed.
Besides his heaven-defying comprehension, Su Mo's proactiveness was another reason he could get stronger so fast. Otherwise, there was no way he could have broken through to Tier 4 in just four days.
Hearing this, Su Mo shook his head.
Su Mo: This doesn't count as a battle. It's just a trip to the Divine Realm.
He had decided to go to the Divine Realm earlier, which was why he had specifically lured Athena over and defeated her. He had just been interrupted by the matter with Jibril.
After dealing with her, it was natural to proceed with the original plan.
Rin Tohsaka: "Doesn't count as a battle"… Does that mean the enemy is too weak to be a concern?
Kanae Kocho: I remember we were a bit nervous when the Divine Realm was mentioned before, but now…
Having witnessed the moon-shattering scene, they were no longer worried about Su Mo's plans. A normal god probably couldn't even get past Artoria and Jibril, let alone Su Mo.
Times had changed. It was no longer just Su Mo standing alone at the peak; even two of his retainers could stand at the top.
Erica Blandelli: I used to worry for Lord Su Mo. Now I'm starting to worry for the Divine Realm.
Erica Blandelli: Are they really ready for Lord Su Mo's arrival?
