In the face of Shana's dissatisfaction, Wilhelmina turned a blind eye.

"But he killed the Fire Mist Warrior, which means there is hostility between him and the Fire Mist Warrior. We can't just turn a blind eye to it."

“Extraordinary behavior.”

"That's because the other party tried to snatch his treasure first, right? Fang Zheng is not an easy person to talk to, don't we all know that?"

That's right, Shana and Wilhelmina had fought each other because they wanted to seize Fang Zheng's Zero Hour Lost Child. But facing Shana, Fang Zheng only defeated her. And Wilhelmina was beaten half to death by the opponent. So Shana knew better than anyone that even though the man was usually kind and gentle, he would show no mercy when he was really ruthless.

As for the Fire Mist Warriors that were killed, it was no big deal for Shana. She was actually very similar to Nanoka, because she was not born for revenge, so she was always out of tune with the other Fire Mist Warriors. And the other side actually "bullied the minority" to deal with Fang Zheng, which made Shana very unhappy. That is, she was not there. If she was there, I am afraid Shana herself would not be able to resist drawing her sword to help kill those bastards.

After all, there was no sense of companionship among the Fire Mist Warriors. Fighting and killing each other was a common occurrence, so Shana didn't understand why Wilhelmina wanted to join her to attack Fang Zheng, who was not a Red World member!

"The Lost Child of Zero Hour is not a Noble Phantasm that any human being is qualified to possess."

But what puzzled Shana was that Wilhelmina seemed to be quite persistent on this point.

"Great power can lead to loss of direction. From what I have seen, that man has lost himself in power and has become our enemy."

"I don't believe Fang Zheng is that kind of person."

Shana shook her head. She had been with Fang Zheng for such a long time, but she didn't see Fang Zheng getting lost in the power.

"That was just a disguise of that man in front of you."

"Why do you always dislike Fang Zheng so much, Wilhelmina?"

Shana finally couldn't bear it anymore, or she had had enough. Ever since Fang Zheng left, Wilhelmina had been telling Shana that she was bewitched and deceived by Fang Zheng, hoping that she could wake up and regain the glory of being a Fire Mist Warrior. But Shana couldn't figure out why Wilhelmina said that. She, Alastor and Fang Zheng had been together for so long, and Wilhelmina had only fought with them. The two sides had probably spent less than an hour together. How could she think that she knew Fang Zheng better than herself and Alastor?

Could it be that both he and Alastor were blind?

In the past, when Wilhelmina said these things, Shana could still tolerate it. After all, she had raised her since she was a child, and her original intention was also for her own good. But now, Wilhelmina actually planned to take her to besiege Fang Zheng? Shana could not bear it anymore.

"I have learned a lot from Fang Zheng, and my strength has also increased, right? Didn't you see it when I faced that crazy professor before?"

What Shana was talking about was the battle that took place in Yuqi City not long ago. At that time, the mad professor "Explorer" Dantalio from the Red World came to Yuqi City for some unknown reason, and with the help of the "dressed rider" Kamsin at that time, he used a strange free method set up in Yuqi City to restore the distorted tuning rate.

Although no one knew what he was going to do, in the end, with the joint efforts of Shana, Wilhelmina, Kamsin and Marjorine, they still repelled the attack of the crazy professor.

In that battle, the strength Shana showed even impressed Kamsin and Marjoline. This also made Shana very happy, which showed that her efforts were effective.

But... only Wilhelmina seemed dissatisfied with this.

"As a contractor of the Heavenly Fire, this level of power is natural. Even without that man, you will eventually realize this power."

"Ten Thousand Skillful Hands, what you said is a bit too biased!"

At this time, Alastor, who couldn't stand it anymore, finally broke the silence.

"This child has grown to where she is today, thanks to Fang Zheng's teaching, but her own efforts are also indispensable. You put it this way..."

"However, it is still far inferior to the previous generation's 'Flaming Burning Eyes'."

Wilhelmina did not stop talking because of the Crimson World Demon's rebuttal.

"This child is not mature enough yet. No matter what, she must become a qualified contractor of the 'Heavenly Tribulation Fire'. But the way she is now really disappoints me."

"Disappointed...really?"

Just at this moment, Wilhelmina realized that Shana had lowered her head and clenched her fists tightly.

"That's right. Survive with confidence, strength, and perseverance. Survive with your own will and tenacity. That's what a true Fire Mist Warrior is."

This is what she had heard from Wilhelmina since she was a child, but for some reason, this time, Shana suddenly thought of Fang Zheng.

This is what Fang Zheng taught himself, to survive with confidence, strength, and perseverance, but his direction is completely different from Wilhelmina's.

Wilhelmina tried to keep herself away from everything in the world, as long as she was high above. Because the Fire Mist Warrior was lonely, there was no need to invest emotions in unnecessary things.

But Fang Zheng's understanding is completely different. In his opinion, even an elephant can travel around the mountains and rivers, turn over stones and fiddle with flowers and plants, but even so, it still does not forget that it is an elephant and the king of the forest. It can lie leisurely and comfortably on the river bank, spraying water while living in harmony with other animals. It can also show its fangs and raise its trunk when danger appears, and roar angrily to deter and kill the enemy.

Because an elephant will always be an elephant; it will not become a sheep just by hanging out with sheep.

"But... isn't that cowardice?"

Shana raised her head and looked at Wilhelmina, her eyes showing emotions that were not shaken at all.

"Shana?"

Alastor was also a little surprised when he noticed the changes in his contractor.

"Wilhelmina, you always keep me away from everything. Why is that? Will everything I'm exposed to really make me forget the mission of the Fire Mist Warrior and become weak? Wilhelmina, do you really not trust me?"

"However, your current performance is very different from that of the 'Flame-Haired Blazing Eyes Slayer'. The previous 'Heavenly Calamity Fire' was a strong man who was loyal to his own desires and would never rely on the power of others to accomplish anything. He was able to break through obstacles and win on his own no matter what the situation was..."

“But that was the previous generation!”

Shana's roar interrupted Wilhelmina's words. She stared at Wilhelmina intently, then reached out and pressed her hand on her chest.

"She and I are different. I am the current 'Flame-Haired Shakugan Slayer' - Shana! Not Matilda!"

“…”

“…”

Wilhelmina, Tiamat, and Alastor were all stunned by Shana's sudden outburst.

"I'm Shana, I have my own way of doing things! Why can't you understand this, Wilhelmina?"

"Because that's not right."

Wilhelmina was silent for a moment, then answered.

"I once promised Matilda that I would train a fire mist warrior as outstanding as her. This is my promise to her, and it is also my mission."

"Ten thousand skillful hands!"

Hearing Wilhelmina's answer, Alastor was suddenly shocked. He suddenly thought of something and wanted to warn her loudly. But at this moment, Shana suddenly took a step back and stared at Wilhelmina as if she didn't know the woman in front of her.

"That is to say, if I am not as good as her, then Wilhelmina you will not recognize me as a Fire Mist Warrior, right?"

"That's exactly what it is."

"I……"

Hearing this, Shana turned pale, clenched her fists, and then gritted her teeth.

"I hate Wilhelmina the most!!!"

Using almost all her strength, she roared at the woman in front of her, then turned around and rushed out of the balcony without hesitation. Then wings of fire appeared behind her, carrying the girl in a trail of fire and disappearing into the night.

Only Wilhelmina still stood there blankly, watching the girl's back as she walked away. Her eyes were round, revealing an unimaginable shake - yes, as a caregiver, Wilhelmina really believed so. She believed and practiced that she would cultivate the girl in front of her into a powerful fire mist warrior like her good friend Matilda, so that she could live up to the name of "Heaven and Earth Tribulation Fire".

What exactly is wrong with this?

Why, why did things turn out like this?

Wilhelmina didn't think she had done anything wrong, this was her duty, her mission. And the girl had never shown any resistance to this before, but why did she say such a thing this time?

Endless sadness emerged from the bottom of my heart, but soon turned into anger.

It's all that man.

If it weren't for him, the girl wouldn't have lost her way. She would have gone forward step by step as she had expected and become a perfect fire mist warrior. Instead of being like this now, if it weren't for him, she and the girl wouldn't have gotten to this point...

“Fang Zheng…”

While muttering the name, Wilhelmina once again looked at the letter in her hand.

There, was a letter of invitation.

To be precise, it was the Fire Mist Warriors who launched a siege against Fang Zheng.

Humans are not allowed to be superior to the Fire Mist Warriors, and many of the Fire Mist Warriors cannot tolerate such provocation. Originally, Wilhelmina had not made up her mind, but now, she has decided.

"We must... destroy him, at any cost..."

"Clear it up completely."

Holding the letter paper tightly in her hand, Wilhelmina made up her mind.
