My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

“Huh?” Wu Nuo grabbed at his pink, choppy hair. “Yeah.”

“Fighting at night makes things a little quieter. No need to spread a barrier to mask our presence or chase away bystanders, and it’s easier to wipe the memories of ordinary folks afterward…”

There was a slight hint of embarrassment in Wu Nuo’s voice as he said this.

After all, given the power Lin Guang had just displayed, if he really went berserk and they fought in a crowded downtown area, Wu Nuo honestly had no way to force him to change the battlefield.

Normally, at this stage, the Sixth Division would have sent someone to release a barrier and clear out the civilians.

But as the so-called Strongest of the current era and the undisputed next Sect Master of the Guyue Sect, he was used to doing whatever he pleased…

Let’s just say he had gotten a bit careless.

“……”

Seeing Lin Guang’s brow furrow slightly, as if he was displeased, Wu Nuo scratched his cheek. “Uh… did I interrupt your training?”

Lin Guang didn’t answer. Instead, he asked a different question: “What are demons, demon-possessed humans, and what are sorcerers?”

“Huh?”

Wu Nuo was clearly taken aback. “There’s no way you don’t know even that, right?”

“………”

Meeting Lin Guang’s utterly expressionless gaze, he paused for a moment, a flicker of surprise in his eyes as if he were pondering something. After a few seconds, he finally spoke.

“So-called ‘demons’—you can think of them simply as a kind of pest, or maybe a collection of negative emotions. They need some kind of medium to manifest in the world.”

“Low-level demons generally don’t have much intellect; most of them only use physical matter as their medium. High-level demons, on the other hand, might be some kind of ‘concept,’ like the ‘Space Demon.’”

“People who have had their curse power shared with them by a demon, or who have been completely robbed of their sanity after being possessed by one, are what we call ‘demon-possessed humans.’”

“And by the way, a demon’s strength is related to the nature of its medium. For example, a ‘Blade Demon’ would definitely be stronger than a ‘Tomato Demon.’”

“Most of them are enemies. A small minority can be worked with under strict supervision.”

Lin Guang nodded.

—This was recorded in I Want to Be Makima’s Dog as well.

He wondered if there was a Chicken Breast Demon, and whether or not it was edible.

“As for sorcerers…”

Wu Nuo spoke calmly as he walked, his tone taking on a solemn gravity.

“‘Sorr’ stands for the achievements of our predecessors.”

“‘Cer’ stands for teaching those who come after.”

“Simply put, a sorcerer is a superhuman who considers themselves human, acknowledges that at least a significant part of their power comes from learning and inheriting the traditions of their predecessors, and is willing to pass on what they’ve learned to future generations.”

“Whether someone is born superhuman or becomes one later, as long as they are willing to learn and identify as human, they are a sorcerer.”

“Naturally, there are good and bad sorcerers, and plenty of them deserve to die. But worst-case scenario, at least they still see humans as their own kind—they just don’t agree with the ‘current’ social order.”

Wu Nuo put extra emphasis on the word “current.”

“……”

Lin Guang looked at him, sensing there was something hidden in his words.

The pink-haired young man continued, his tone now carrying a hint of probing.

“And by the way…”

“The most dangerous sorcerers are often the ones who, using various means, ‘smuggled’ themselves from hundreds or even thousands of years ago into the present, regained a physical body, and completed their resurrection.”

“They preserved themselves during the peak of ‘mystery’ in the past. Even if they are now locked at the second Energy Level, they might still carry super-limited techniques from higher realms that the current world environment no longer permits.”

“Even if most of those are one-time-use consumables that can’t be replenished, they are still incredibly dangerous.”

“…………”

As he spoke, Wu Nuo kept his eyes fixed on Lin Guang, as if trying to read something from his face.

Lin Guang showed no reaction at all.

After a moment of thought, he asked another question: “What is a first-grade sorcerer? How do you classify them internally? Is there a special-grade sorcerer?”

Wu Nuo was a bit speechless. “………Are you reading too many manga or watching too many TV dramas? The highest is first grade. Below that, there’s second, third, and fourth grade.”

“Currently, anyone who can break through to the mid-phase of the second Energy Level and has their own unique sorcery techniques can basically be classified as a first-grade sorcerer.”

“And even among first-grade sorcerers, I can pretty much be called the strongest, with a massive gap between me and those below.”

Lin Guang: “……”

—So you’re telling me the “Strongest First-Grade Sorcerer” is basically you being a damn Nanami Kento knock-off, huh.

Wu Nuo’s lips curled up slightly. “But the term ‘special-grade sorcerer’ does sound pretty good. I think I’ll tell them to add a special-grade tier when I get back. Otherwise, there’s no way to distinguish people like me from ordinary first-grade sorcerers.”

“………”

—Please don’t go creating a special-grade sorcerer category just because of one thing I said.

Lin Guang was silent for a few seconds before speaking again:

“You said ‘currently’?”

“Yeah.”

Wu Nuo nodded. “You should be able to feel it too. The level of ‘mystery’ in the world today has risen quite a bit compared to before.”

“The concrete signs are the difficulty and the ceiling of cultivation.”

“Over a decade ago, a new generation member capable of reaching the second Energy Level was an absolute rarity.”

“But now, even a rat in the sewer might get lucky and break through. And modern technology is not necessarily inferior to ancient methods. All kinds of mass-production methods for creating superhumans are popping up constantly. The situation is changing almost every single day.”

“After all… the place called Wind Capital is extremely special, no matter how you look at it.”

Wu Nuo turned his head, looking at the silhouette of a windmill nearly a hundred kilometers away, barely a faint outline in the night. There was a hint of emotion in his voice.

“Maybe… the centuries-long decline of mystery is finally ending. The path to the third Energy Level, and even higher realms, is about to open.”

The pink-haired young man glanced back at Lin Guang, almost certain of one thing in his heart.

This is probably why someone like you chose this era to emerge into the world.

With that thought, he once again revealed a carefree grin.

You’re just relying on the fact that you had a higher realm in the past. If we both truly reached that same realm, how could I possibly lose to you?

“……”

The two of them walked on through the night, sinking into another stretch of silence.

Then, the black-haired youth suddenly spoke up again:

“You mentioned ‘transformation’ earlier, right? ‘New-style’ superhumans?”

“Oh, this one you really couldn’t possibly know.”

For some reason, there was a hint of disdain, even disgust, in the pink-haired young man’s voice. “Simply put, it’s a catch-all term for those talentless losers who, because their adaptability isn’t good enough, have to store their sorcery techniques and curse power externally using special means, then temporarily inject it into their bodies before battle.”

“Usually, the higher-grade ones use things like belts or rings. The lower-grade ones use all sorts of junk.”

“Because their appearance often changes drastically, it’s called ‘transformation.’”

“……!”
