After a careful investigation of these strange black shadow monsters, Fang Zheng discovered that strictly speaking, these black shadow monsters were not even living beings. They were just the embodiment of some residues.

"Residue?"

Upon hearing Fang Zheng's findings, the girls were all stunned.

"Yes, it is the remnants of emotions. I think you can also feel that these shadow monsters have shown very strong anger and aggression, but they can't communicate at all... Well, just like a computer program, they will only react to specific targets, and other things are out of their range."

"So, big brother, what you mean is that these black shadow monsters will only attack us magical girls?"

Xiao Hei scratched his head in disbelief, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"That's true at this point. Maybe you two have something in common, but at least it's certain that these monsters are not going after the things you have collected, but you."

After hearing this, Xiaoke put forward his own opinion.

"Isn't it a reaction to magic?"

"I have experimented with magic, and even if I cast magic directly in front of those shadow monsters, they didn't react at all. But Sakura and Nanoha didn't even cast magic, and they were attacked just by appearing in front of them. This shows that it is their presence itself that attracts the attention of these monsters."

"I have never seen such a monster..."

Looking at the black shadow on the screen, Yuno shook his head.

“Isn’t this a product of the Earth?”

"What are you talking about!"

Hearing this, Xiaoke was unhappy.

"Crowley and I have lived here for many years. If there was such a thing, Crowley would have dealt with it long ago. How can I still be alive today? Could it be that your Holy Stone Seed is the cause of this?"

"What did you say? If that's the case, I think the magic item called the Clow Cards is more problematic!"

"You dare to question Clowrid? You stinky ferret..."

Seeing the doll and the ferret about to quarrel, Fang Zheng glanced at them and then winked at the person beside him. The next moment, the white cat that was lazily crawling beside him suddenly jumped up and pressed the ferret down on the table with one paw. Xiaoying also reached out and grabbed Xiaoke in a hurry.

"No quarreling!"

Faced with the two sides' attempts to stop them, the Snow Ferret and the Doll looked at each other, then turned away angrily. Fang Zheng completely ignored this low-level quarrel and turned his gaze to Nanoha - Nanoha had been absent-minded since she came back, as if she was thinking about something.

"Nanoha, what are you thinking about?"

"teacher……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Nanoha was stunned for a moment, then she raised her head and looked at Fang Zheng.

"What did you say?"

"I asked, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing Nanoha come back to his senses, Fang Zheng patiently repeated the question. Nanoha lowered her head hesitantly, and after thinking for a while, she finally answered.

"Teacher... Is it true that people cannot understand each other? I want to have a good talk with that child, but she is unwilling to talk to me. I don't know why..."

Having said that, Nanoha lowered her head somewhat depressed.

"Does this mean that we must solve the problem through fighting?"

“Fighting is not the only way to solve problems, but fighting is indeed a means to solve problems.”

Hearing Nanoha's question, Fang Zheng shrugged.

"You want to talk to that child. It's actually very simple. All you need is to have the same power as her, or even stronger than her."

"Eh? Is that so?"

Hearing this, Nanoha couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise and looked at Fang Zheng, who nodded.

"Yes, in fact, as the child said before, she wants to collect the seeds of the holy stone, and you also have to collect the seeds of the holy stone, so you are opponents and enemies - this is an unchangeable fact, and for her, it is unnecessary to communicate with you. Because even if you communicate, you will still have to fight for it in the end."

"But……"

Nanoha clenched her fists and opened her mouth to refute, but she didn't know what to say for a moment. Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and made a gesture.

"It's actually like a passage. You walk through this side of the passage, and there is something moving towards you on the other side. If it's a bug, you definitely won't care about it and just step over it. If it's a cat or a dog, you might choose to get out of the way, but some people with bad tempers will choose to drive these small animals away. But if the thing in front of you is an elephant, then you need to take the initiative to give in, and even show it that you have no hostility... Do you understand what I mean?"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng smiled slightly as he looked at Nanoha in front of him.

"Look, at the end of the battle, didn't the girl take the initiative to talk to you for a few words? Why? Because you showed enough power to hinder her from recovering the Holy Stone Seed, so she wanted to talk to you and try to resolve the conflict between the two sides. Although you are not an elephant now, at least you are already a kitten that can stand in front of her..."

“…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Nanoha's eyes became brighter. She seemed to understand something, clenched her fists, and nodded vigorously.

"I understand, teacher!"

"Oh? Do you really understand?"

“That’s right!”

As she spoke, Nanoha stood up and looked at Fang Zheng.

"As long as I show a power stronger than hers in front of that child, then that child will listen to me obediently, right?"

"Ah... well, that's about right."

Although he felt that Nanoha's train of thought was a little off, Fang Zheng still nodded.

"Whether you want to protect something, stop something, or communicate something, you must show enough strength to prove that you are not just talking nonsense. After all, everyone can talk, but it is not enough to gain the trust and understanding of others. You need to show enough strength to gain the recognition of others."

"I understand too! Teacher!"

Hearing this, Sakura also quickly raised her hand.

"Every time before I recover the Clow Cards, I have to defeat them. That is to say, only after I defeat the Clow Cards will they acknowledge me as their master. This is what you call recognition, right?"

"That's about it..."

Looking at the excited Sakura and Nanoha in front of him, Fang Zheng always felt that something was wrong, but... anyway, this was the truth, so there really was no difference, right?

"So you have to remember this, Sakura, Nanoha."

After coughing, Fang Zheng looked at the two of them again.

"You have various duties and missions, but the most important thing is to convince others with reason. Strong power is necessary, but strong power is not the goal, but the means. Do you understand?"

"yes!"

Looking at the excited Sakura and Nanoha, Illya turned her head and looked at Kuro.

"Xiao Hei, why do I feel like something is wrong?"

"What's wrong with that? Aren't you the same?"

Hearing this, Xiao Hei rolled his eyes at Illya.

"As the saying goes, firepower is justice, so we magical girls are the embodiment of justice."
