"Patter—"
Zenn was startled by his senior's sudden movement, his whole body trembling. He nearly dropped the fork in his hand.
"Mr. Gut, you scared me to death." The girl Sola beside them also pouted, expressing mild protest at his sudden standing and table-slapping behavior.
"Sorry, I thought of something exciting."
After apologizing for his behavior, Gut continued browsing the system's description of the Kirin Flying Talent Experience Card, specifically going to the front counter to ask for a glass of ice-cold water.
Taking a few light sips, even this bone-chilling coldness could hardly suppress the fire burning in his heart at this moment.
Who was Kirin Flying?
Flame Emperor Xiao Yan took thirty-seven years to prove his path and become emperor; Desolate Heaven Emperor Shi Hao walked for a full fifty-six years on the road to achieving supreme humanity. Even so, such growth speed had already surpassed all the prodigies of an entire era.
But Kirin Flying was different. From a zero-foundation middle school student to speed-running through seven parallel universes and becoming a super beast warrior who could destroy entire universes, he only took less than seven days.
Fifteen minutes after obtaining the supernatural lock, he could go to space and fight against Hades soldiers who had trained for hundreds or thousands of years. Super beast armament that ordinary warriors couldn't master in tens of thousands of years, he summoned in just one day and used in actual combat.
Undeniably, there were encounters and accumulations from several reincarnations during this period. But which prodigy's growth path didn't have some encounters? Even if all these encounters were completely removed, Kirin Flying's own talent was still terrifyingly unique.
If he could bring this talent to magic, even with just seven minutes, Gut believed mastering Curse Reversal Magic shouldn't be difficult.
After taking deep breaths for a while, gripping the ice-cold cup wall covered with water mist, Gut tilted his head back and drank it all. As the coolness surged through his body, his fiery mood finally began to calm down.
But even so, Gut's little finger was still trembling uncontrollably.
Tomorrow, after serving his teacher's morning routine, he would ask her to completely and quickly demonstrate Curse Reversal Magic for him after activating the experience card.
Then, how much he could absorb would depend entirely on Flying Brother's talent.
But Gut estimated that even in the most conservative scenario where the effect wasn't ideal, thoroughly understanding the introductory section required by the main quest shouldn't be a problem.
After completing the main quest, whether it was the system's new Investigation Module or the enhancement to talent traits, both would bring him tremendous benefits.
"Ding-ring—"
The bell on the shop door jingled as several people pushed open the restaurant door and filed in, interrupting Gut's fantasies.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We are guards from the Holy Capital City Defense Team."
The group immediately identified themselves upon entering and informed everyone of their purpose.
"During our night patrol, we discovered that an elderly gentleman in this alley was brutally beaten by others. After the beating stopped, the perpetrator also tied up the old man and fled after committing the crime."
"We came to ask if any of you noticed any clues related to the perpetrator."
Hearing that these city defense team members had only come seeking clues, the restaurant owner couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After signaling to several shop assistants with his eyes not to meddle, the owner stepped forward to represent everyone in the shop, stating that no one had noticed anything.
Anyway, everyone was clear about what kind of character that old man at the end of the alley had.
Not only was his personality terrible, but he constantly engaged in petty theft.
Every few days he would come to the shop and refuse to leave, eating and drinking for free while harassing the female servers and stealing restaurant utensils to sell outside.
Never mind others - if it weren't for the old guy being too old and worrying about serious consequences, the restaurant owner would have wanted to follow him and give him a good beating himself.
Now someone had taught that old fool a lesson for him. The restaurant owner was too happy to care about it. How could he go through the trouble for that old thing? He might even offend a dangerous person in the process.
Moreover, the owner, who had been busy with bookkeeping earlier, really hadn't noticed the commotion outside.
"Is that so?"
The city defense team members, seeing they couldn't get anything from the owner, simply wanted to give up and try another target.
But unexpectedly, someone stood up at this moment and directly admitted to doing it.
"How foolish."
The restaurant owner looked at the customer Gut who had voluntarily stepped forward and immediately shook his head, sighing with pity. This young man was still young - suffering punishment for that old thing was truly not worth it.
But... that was all.
Taking Gut's finished water glass, the restaurant owner turned his back to the customers and began wiping it.
Anyone in business hated unexpected trouble most. The old beggar who lingered in the shop eating and drinking for free was trouble, and Gut, who actively drew the city defense team's attention after committing a crime, was also trouble.
The several city defense personnel reacted swiftly. Their steps that had already left the shop immediately turned back upon hearing Gut's "voluntary confession," surrounding him.
The leader stared directly at the perpetrator who had voluntarily surrendered. Though his eyes showed surprise, they held more joy.
He had thought investigating and gathering evidence for this case would be quite tedious, but unexpectedly, the perpetrator would voluntarily jump out and admit guilt. This was practically free merit.
Thinking of this, the captain took metal handcuffs from his waist and stepped forward two paces, wanting to skip the proper procedures and cuff Gut first to prevent him from changing his mind.
The necessary evidence gathering and questioning could be done later in jail.
After all, this was just a small shop in a street alley - no one would likely jump out to criticize his law enforcement methods.
However, the patrol captain's scheme was destined to fail.
Seeing the gleaming handcuffs about to be fastened on her benefactor's hands, the girl Sola immediately couldn't sit still and shouted at the patrol captain, "Stop! Your law enforcement doesn't follow proper procedures!"
"Moreover, that beggar is definitely not a victim - he deserved what he got!"
Even though she had spent most of her time growing up in the countryside ancestral home, the girl's identity was still that of a noble. Having received special training in posture and etiquette from childhood, her demeanor and movements were definitely not like those of an ordinary family's daughter.
Therefore, after being called out by Sola, the patrol captain actually stopped his actions and looked the girl up and down.
Even though she was somewhat disheveled, to be safe, the captain still used relatively respectful language in his response.
