Gensokyo, Red Devil Mansion.
Wu Yan held a thick grimoire as he read it silently.
The sound of pages being flipped gave the library a serene vibe.
Wu Yan has a certain level of understanding of grimoires, after all, he is the owner of 130,000 grimoires in his brain.
However, the grimoires in his mind are replicas or iterations of originals.
Meanwhile, these grimoires were made by Patchouli.
There are original grimoires too. The focus is on the grimoires she transcribed.
Patchouli’s understanding of magic is undeniably high if most of the books here were transcribed by her.
Although her power isn’t much to mention, her knowledge is one of the most extensive in Gensokyo.
Wu Yan’s mastery is over Toaru Majutsu’s magic.
Genskyo’s magic is more esoteric pared to Toaru Majutsu.
Wu Yan is absorbing the knowledge and making it his own.
Patchouli is peeking from around the corner, unbeknownst to him.
She had a thick grimoire in her hand.
It looked new but it was faintly translucent, giving its identity away as a potent grimoire.
Patchouli grinned when she saw the tome in her hand.
“The Tome of Soul, it can unveil the soul of a target, bringing the true nature of someone out. Let’s see if you’re not a predator.”
It is one of her tome.
It can manifest the desires of the target.
Wu Yan can play enigmatic but this spell will unveil his core character.
It is also for this reason that she invited him to her library.
“He is also a strong mage.”
Patchouli rubbed her head.
“Can I cast this spell without him noticing?”
There are other soul-type spells.
Counter-spells and defensive warding are an expected behavior for acplished mages. If Wu Yan is as good as her, he would have defense spells in spades.
Patchouli isn’t sure she can cast this spell without Wu Yan being the wiser.
He might even burn down her library if he detected her furtive actions.
This is what it means to tango with a strong foe in her library, it isn’t just her at risk.
Patchouli bit her lips.
“If I really screwed up I will just use myself as the collateral.”
Patchouli channeled magic slowly into the Soul Tome.
The Soul Tome opened and the pages slowly flipped as it took on a pale blue sheen.
“Nn?’
Wu Yan looked around as he felt some fluctuation.
“Was it my imagination?”
Wu Yan continued reading.
He is sure he felt something but this is Gensokyo and Red Devil Mansion.
There aren’t a lot of actively evil entities prowling around.
This is the chance Patchouli needed.
“Now!”
Patchouli pressed down on the soul tome.
Vrm
The tome emitted a magical ripple that hit Wu Yan.
“Shit.”
Wu Yan raised his head.
It was too late however, he let his guard down and Patchouli cast the spell very close to him.
Patchouli’s worst-case scenario happened.
Spark bzzt
Wu Yan’s body was clad in lightning. It was the ESP passive mind-shield from Mikoto’s ability.
The spell got shattered when it touched Wu Yan’s bluish-white lightning.
“Crap!”
Patchouli gasped.
The Soul Tome Ripple was not shattered pletely, some of the deflected Ripples hit her.
Vrmm
The spell hit her hard, her body absorbed the spell.
Patchouli got down on her knees as her eyes wavered between consciousness and daze. Finally, she only saw a pink world.
It wasn’t only her world that turned pink, her body burned as she blushed.
