Even if she were terrifying, in Kirishima Kuyo's short and desperate life, could she be more terrifying than Moshi and his cronies' sneers, than the indifferent gazes of her classmates, than the father who personally trampled her dignity…?
Could she be even more terrifying?
The good news was that those scoundrels could no longer harm Kuchiha...
The even better news was...
Hmm… now it was 'Kuchiha's' turn to harm them.
In the pool of blood, shattered bones were pulled by an unknown force, making a grating sound that set teeth on edge, and began to forcefully reset.
Torn muscle fibers were stitched together by invisible threads, and the nascent tissue beneath the skin gleamed with an unnatural porcelain-white luster.
Kirishima Kuyo's corpse sat up from the blood, her movements stiff like a marionette.
Blood trickled down her pale, almost transparent cheeks, like eerie tear marks, and more blood soaked the middle school girl's uniform she wore.
The dark blue fabric was dyed in large patches of dark red, clinging to her slender body. Mixed with dust and dried blood clots, the uniform skirt was wet and clung to her legs, dripping dark red liquid.
Her glasses had long since disappeared.
The shattered remnants of the lenses lay silently on the cold ground a few steps away, reflecting the indifferent light of the sky.
Without those old glasses that obscured her vision, her eyes were fully exposed.
Only this time, in the depths of her dark pupils, there was no longer timid evasion, but a cavernous void like an abyss.
Filled with Kuchiha's despair for this world, and the hatred and malice surging from the depths of Serie's consciousness, almost solidifying.
A new task appeared simultaneously—
Main Quest: Friendship Connects Us!
Goal: Win the Crafty Rabbit Witch her first friend in life.
Reward: Item 'Eerie Rabbit Mask'
Witch Quest: Wish for Revival
Goal: Learn 'Easter', revive Little Carrot, and use 'Rabbit Spirit' Mystical Arts' on it.
Reward: Ability Point +1
How pure and kind this girl was.
Even in this situation, the lingering obsession of this body was still about connection and salvation, not slaughter and revenge?
Serie was a person who inherently believed in 'the less trouble, the better'.
Especially those obviously thankless, ridiculously high-risk, and utterly unprofitable ventures that yielded nothing.
She avoided them faster than anyone.
She believed in equivalent exchange, or at least that the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
Bloodthirsty? Likes to kill? That was even further from her nature.
Serie only ever killed when she had to, or when the other party deserved to die and blocked her path.
It was purely an efficient means of problem-solving.
However, this current situation was definitely an exception.
Since Kuchiha had become a part of herself, then even without a reward...
Those scumbags who bullied Kuchiha, not a single one would escape!
Serie opened the 'Abilities' panel.
Surprisingly, although Kuchiha was born with an extra ability, the skill tree had one less branch.
Wild Rabbit (You are inherently similar to these fluffy little creatures, thus possessing a wonderful affinity; they like you): 'Easter' (unlearned) → 'Unicorn Rabbit' (details of this ability will be known after learning the previous ability) → 'Unlocked' → 'Unlocked'...
Rabbit Hole (You are born with a unique spatial ability, but it is not yet mature and is often mistaken for you stealing things or skipping class, leading to a beating): 'Arale's Opening' (unlearned) → 'Hat Trick' (details of this ability will be known after learning the previous ability) → 'Unlocked' → 'Unlocked'...
Serie didn't know why this was the case.
Perhaps it was an innate flaw? Or perhaps Kuchiha was simply too young, and her potential hadn't been fully developed yet?
However, counting the two ability points from killing Bewitching Fox and the Male Lion, plus the equivalent of learning one ability for free from [Witch Quest: Wish for Revival], Serie could directly learn three abilities.
So… which ones should she learn?
