“Kudan is a unique ability inherent in each of us here. The manifestation of everyone’s clever breaking varies widely—some have little fire-breathing creatures, birds, fish capable of spraying water, musical instruments, and even humanoid beings.

The potency of Kudan’s ability varies across different levels, ranging from the highest special level, followed by levels one through five. The strength of Kudan is contingent on the mind; the more robust the mind, the greater the power of Kudan.” Beside the abandoned car, Masayoshi pointed towards the two rival gangs on the broken bridge who were utilizing Kudan, providing an explanation.

By this time, Jerry had successfully absorbed the necessary laws from the feathers and returned them to the Syaoran.

Observing the individuals on both sides, Jerry pondered the nature of Kudan, the charioteer, “This ability bears some resemblance to that of a guardian spirit.” The guardian spirit spell involves using spiritual and light energy to construct a guardian spirit tailored to the individual.

It boasts formidable defensive capabilities and can inflict substantial damage on dark creatures.

While most manifestations take the form of various animals, exceptions exist, as seen with Jerry.

“Watch out, be careful!” In that instant, Masayoshi exclaimed, and a child clad in ancient attire emerged from his body, positioning themselves in front of everyone.

The chaos of the skirmish between the two gangs led to a fireball, discharged by a firebird, being redirected and colliding with the abandoned car where they sought refuge.

For an ordinary person, a direct hit from the front would likely result in a barbecue transformation. Reacting swiftly, Masayoshi summoned his Kudan to shield everyone from the impending danger.

Despite his Kudan being at the lowest level of level 5, the likelihood of being blown away even while blocking was high.

However, just as the fireball descended, Jerry’s form vanished from the spot, reappearing instantly in front of everyone, including the humanoid figure.

“Bang!” With a casual slap, Jerry swatted the fireball away effortlessly.

Jerry refrained from using magical defenses, deeming them unnecessary against the power of this level of fireball. Even a direct hit would not inflict harm upon his body.

“So fast!” Kurogane, maintaining his cool demeanor until now, had his pupils contract at this moment.

While he could have intercepted the fireball with his own body, what truly astounded him was the speed demonstrated by Jerry.

From disappearance to reappearance, though Jerry had only shifted a few paces, with Kurogane’s keen eyes, he could only perceive faint afterimages.

In essence, if Jerry, the self-proclaimed magician, were to engage in combat, he could effortlessly overpower him—the preeminent ninja of his world—solely relying on his swiftness.

Jerry’s maneuver prompted a halt in the scuffle on the broken bridge, redirecting the attention of all parties involved.

From Jerry’s perspective, it appeared as though he had merely taken a few steps and deflected a fireball.

However, to a denizen of this world, it seemed nothing short of extraordinary.

In this world, victory hinges on shrewd decision-making. It’s an acknowledged truth embraced by all.

Despite having formidable Kudan abilities, the practitioners of these skills possess bodies that are fundamentally those of ordinary individuals. At best, they can enhance their physical well-being through exercise.

In the face of Kudan, one must employ Kudan. Engaging without utilizing their specialized ability would result in certain deaths.

This explains why, in this world, even those endowed with remarkable skill-breaking capabilities adhere to societal norms.

A super skill-breaker, for instance, would meet their demise if confronted by law enforcement wielding firearms.

Jerry, however, refrained from deploying Kudan.

Instead, he advanced, casually swatting away the fireball expelled by Kudan.

The spectacle would be as astounding to an inhabitant of this world as someone in the mundane realm catching a bullet with bare hands.

“Who are you? A newly-formed gang attempting to seize territory!” the leaders of both factions shouted at Jerry simultaneously.

Upon their exclamation, they proceeded to display their prowess—unleashing a super-class flying water-type giant eel and a first-class flying iron-type hedgehog eel.

Jerry, however, chose not to respond to their inquiries. Instead, after deflecting the fireball, he turned his attention to Masayoshi’s Kudan—a humanoid child adorned in ancient attire.

Within this humanoid child, Jerry detected the same essence of Sakura’s soul as the feather he had just held. It indicated that the true repository of Sakura’s soul and memory in this world resided within Masayoshi.

“Hahaha, no need to worry. We’re just passing through. Continue with your business!” Holding the tired and slumbering Mokona that had worn out from utilizing its space-traveling ability, Fay stepped forward to address both sides in explanation.

The rotund boss, sporting a cocked-up hairstyle on the right, seemed unconvinced, “You claim to be passers-by. Do you think I’m that gullible?”

“Whether you’re just passing through or not, I love sparring with formidable opponents, like that gentleman over there!” The boss gestured enthusiastically towards Jerry.

“Expecto Patronum!” Without turning around, Jerry activated the Patronus Charm.

Without delay, a radiant giant, nearly a hundred meters tall, materialized at the center of the fractured bridge.

In a swift motion, he seized the colossal water eel with his left hand and the spiky iron eel with his right.

Squeezing firmly, the leaders’ Kudan instantly disintegrated into fragments, returning to their respective master’s bodies.

“Clear off!” The Patronus uttered a cold snort, and the resounding noise shattered all the third- and fourth-level Kudan on both sides.

“Is this truly a Kudan? If so, it surpasses even the special level!”

Witnessing the Patronus Charm effortlessly neutralizing all the Kudan from both gangs, terror struck the hearts of everyone. Trembling, they turned on their heels and fled in opposite directions.

Upon discovering the trail of feathers, Jerry had no patience for the pointless banter between the warring gangs vying for territory.

In a nonchalant move, he unleashed his Patronus Charm, a luminous giant standing at a hundred meters, enough to send the brawling factions fleeing in fear.

The towering figure was not limited to 100 meters due to any constraint but was deliberately set by Jerry. With his current formidable abilities, employing the Patronus Charm at full strength could summon a colossal being reaching a towering thousand meters—a true behemoth.

In his present state of power, even seemingly inconspicuous spells wielded with full force became immensely potent and formidable.

“Another feather has appeared. Take care of it!” Jerry shouted after him.

Unperturbed by the astonishment shared by Syaoran and the rest, Jerry dismissed his Guardian Charm.

He extended his hand towards Masayoshi’s Kudan, and with a wave, a memory feather gracefully transitioned from Kudan to Jerry’s waiting hands.

“I’ll use it for now and return it later!” Addressing the bewildered Syaoran, Jerry held the memory feather, closing his eyes once again in focused concentration.
