Goki's action was not only to stop the Celestial Envoy, who was currently heading towards self-destruction and risking everyone in the city with oripathy, but also to allow Ifrit to unleash the power that inherently belonged to her.
Under harmless conditions, Goki and Ifrit could together use the power of the God of Burning Wind to simulate his extraordinary strike.
"Roar----"
A low roar echoed in the surrounding space; behind Goki and Ifrit, a somewhat illusory shadow emerged, and a pair of eyes burning with blazing flames opened in the space.
"Ugh----"
In an instant, Kaltsit's ear fur bristled; she felt a threat more intense than when she first saw the skull that day.
She instinctively wanted to let out a low growl, but quickly, she clamped her mouth shut—there were too many people here, and if she made a strange sound, her traveling career would be over!
Kaltsit looked around. Skadi and Saria also had solemn expressions, shielding Silence, Ptilopsis, and Muelsyse / Muir Sais behind them. The feathers on the three Liberi girls' bodies were similarly tensed, and their expressions were exceptionally worried.
"Click."
Suddenly, a camera shutter sound came from beside Kaltsit. She turned her head and immediately saw the person pointing a mobile terminal lens at her.
"Director… what are you trying to do?"
After capturing her teacher's ruffled expression in a photo, the Director looked enviously at the tall man not far away and raised an eyebrow at Kaltsit.
"Teacher… is he really just my Junior Brother? Not my grand-teacher?—Where did you find such a peculiar fellow?"

In response, Kaltsit merely raised her hand and, just like in school, firmly slapped the Director on the head.
"It was just a chance encounter… but he is indeed extraordinary."
Kaltsit didn't even notice that the corners of her own mouth were uncontrollably curving upwards.
At this moment, everyone knew that the only thing they could do was to believe in the Ifrit before them, and even more so, to believe in this man who had suddenly intervened in their lives and given them a new path.
"Goki, you can do it!"
"Go… you can do it."
Accompanied by Skadi's excited cheer and Saria's somewhat shy, whispered encouragement, the flames around Goki and Ifrit suddenly extinguished completely, or rather, were absorbed into their bodies.
The knowledge and wisdom of the God of Burning Wind all flowed into their minds.
Perhaps even now, Goki and Ifrit still didn't understand the academic problems of Originium Arts, but their minds had already grasped how to unleash this next strike.
When they opened their eyes again, the white light in Goki's and Ifrit's eyes had transformed into fiercely burning flames.
"Are you ready, Ifrit? Do you already know what to do?"
Goki held Ifrit's small hand with his left hand, feeling the increasingly clear flow of Originium energy around them, and together they looked at the Celestial Envoy directly opposite the building, which was already somewhat dazzling and blinding.
"Yes, Brother Goki! Let's do it together!"
Ifrit knew that Goki was one of the best people to her, and the innate sense of closeness she already felt made Ifrit fond of Goki, and she hoped to help him even more.
Now, Ifrit felt… she truly possessed enough power.
Her body felt no pain from oripathy; instead, it felt exceptionally light. Ifrit herself didn't even notice that the black Originium crystals on her long horns were seemingly losing their power little by little and flaking off, revealing tender black Sarkaz horns.
If Saria and Silence were to conduct a routine blood test for Ifrit, at least at this moment, the Originium crystal content in Ifrit's body… was infinitely close to zero.
