"Now that's an interesting reward."
A smile flashed across Han Feng's face.
Expelliarmus was one of the most frequently used spells in Harry Potter.
It had achieved many impressive feats throughout the original story.
For example, during the final battle, Harry Potter used this spell against Voldemort.
Because the Elder Wand truly recognized Harry as its master and refused to harm him, the curse rebounded in the end, defeating Voldemort.
It could be said that against enemies wielding weapons, this spell was extremely effective.
Its function was somewhat similar to the Golden Circlet from Journey to the West.
"Come to think of it... if Kujou Sara had been present during the original scene where Kaedehara Kazuha faced the Raiden Shogun with his sword, and she cast Expelliarmus... I wonder if the so-called 'Emperor Ye' would have been completely dumbfounded."
The thought made Han Feng chuckle.
After all, if you wanted to stand against the Radiance of Lightning, you at least needed a weapon in your hand.
If your sword was gone, what was left to fight with?
Your bare body against the Musou no Hitotachi?
Buzz—
A brilliant beam of light descended from above, enveloping Kujou Sara.
"Hm?"
Feeling a flood of unfamiliar information pouring into her mind, Sara's expression changed.
"Don't worry. That's your reward. Just accept it."
Seeing her tense up, Han Feng explained with a smile.
"So that's what it is. Thank you, Boss."
Once she understood the situation, Sara relaxed.
As a soldier, she was naturally cautious about anything unusual.
Now that she knew it was harmless, she closed her eyes and accepted the knowledge.
A few moments later, the light faded.
"Your reward is the spell Expelliarmus."
Han Feng explained after she opened her eyes.
"When cast on an opponent, their weapon will fly into your hand and obey you."
"However, it doesn't work against those who are significantly stronger than you, such as the Raiden Shogun."
"It actually has that effect?!"
Sara's eyes lit up.
When she'd first received the information, she'd wondered what use a spell would be in a world without magic wands.
She hadn't expected it to disarm opponents instead.
That was incredibly useful.
At least, for someone like her.
On the battlefield, nearly every enemy carried a weapon.
If she could seize their weapons and turn them against them...
Their combat strength would decrease while her own side's increased.
The entire battle would shift.
As for the limitation that it wouldn't work on overwhelmingly powerful opponents...
Sara didn't mind.
People at that level were rare and seldom appeared on ordinary battlefields anyway.
"Boss, one more question."
She suddenly asked, "Would this spell work on Visions?"
If it did, confiscating Visions in the future would become much easier.
Even if someone tried to flee, she could simply cast the spell.
"A Vision?"
Han Feng raised an eyebrow.
These people were learning to think creatively.
After a brief pause, he answered,
"A Vision is technically an external magical organ used to channel elemental power. Strictly speaking, it isn't considered a weapon."
"But..."
"You can always try it yourself."
"Practice is the best teacher."
"I understand. Thank you, Boss."
Sara bowed respectfully.
She planned to test it on Thoma later.
After personally experiencing the reward system, she finally understood why the Shogun valued this manga shop so highly...
...and why she'd ordered her to show the owner the utmost respect.
Someone capable of casually granting miraculous abilities like this was undoubtedly an unimaginably powerful existence.
Unless absolutely necessary...
It was best to remain on friendly terms.
Under no circumstances should they offend him.
"Still..."
"If I can obtain rewards here, then the Resistance can too."
"I'll need to keep that in mind."
Sara silently made a mental note.
Meanwhile...
Ei had finished her phone call.
After hanging up, she returned the Super Telephone to Lumine.
"This really is convenient."
"If everyone had one of these, wouldn't people be able to communicate anytime, anywhere?"
Thinking about the telephone's incredible abilities, Ei couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Even as gods...
Even though they could travel freely...
They couldn't communicate this conveniently.
This thing was simply astonishing.
Every new item she discovered seemed to overturn everything she knew.
"They do."
Hearing Ei's remark, Lumine smiled and held up her smartphone.
"The smartphone works like that. As long as both people have one, they can contact each other anytime."
"It just can't cross time like the Super Telephone."
"You have one of those too?!"
Shock appeared on Ei's face.
Having a Super Telephone wasn't enough?
She also possessed another device with similar functions?
Just how many amazing treasures did this girl have?
"They're different."
Lumine shook her head.
"I'm the only one with the Super Telephone."
"But lots of people have smartphones."
"As far as I know, Mondstadt has twenty of them."
"Liyue has another twenty."
"Even Paimon has one."
"What do you mean 'even I have one'?"
Paimon muttered unhappily.
"So I'm just here to make up the numbers?"
"Mondstadt and Liyue both have twenty already..."
Ei frowned.
If nobody had them, that would have been fine.
Everyone would be on equal footing.
But now...
Mondstadt had them.
Liyue had them too.
That changed everything.
Didn't that mean Inazuma had fallen behind?
That absolutely wouldn't do.
"Tomorrow I'll bring more people."
"I have to get smartphones."
Ei silently resolved.
If Mondstadt and Liyue had something...
Inazuma had to have it too.
And if Mondstadt and Liyue didn't have something...
Inazuma should have it anyway.
"Thank you for your help today."
Ei smiled warmly at Lumine and Paimon.
"As thanks..."
"If you ever come to Inazuma, just tell people my name."
"In Inazuma, no one would dare misuse my name."
"With my protection, you'll be able to travel anywhere without trouble."
"Consider it a bit of hospitality from your host."
