CROWNED IN A HUNDRED DAYS

ALL ELEMENTS ARE
FICTIONAL. DO NOT IMITATE.

Are you sure he's only in shock?

I also think Mr. Liang feels off.

Off how?

No, it's nothing.

Maybe I remembered it wrong.

With that much blood loss,

shock can last a long time.

If it goes badly, he may never awaken.

Luckily,

he's alive for now.

But in this condition,

a healing skill can't fix this.

If we take him to a
hospital in District 9,

it may draw unwanted attention.

But District 10 has no decent clinics.

Were his pecs that big when he left?

You noticed. Stay quiet. Why touch him?

Maybe I overdid the shock therapy.

Can shocks really make pecs that big?

How much power would that even take?

Isn't there any better way to save him?

I've tried every physical method I could,

but Lan and I don't know healing spells.

I searched the forbidden book in my head.

I did find one spell: Healing Touch.

It should be able to bring life back.

Why didn't you use it on him?

I don't know why,

but this spell limits who can use it.

It must be a rookie who
knows no prior spells.

Why such a strange learning rule?

According to the forbidden book,

healing magic demands total focus.

If the learner mixes in other magic,

it will taint the spell.

So Lan, who knows magic, is ruled out too.

But before I teach
you this forbidden spell,

I have to infuse you with mana first.

Wait.

You mean...

Magic Infusion?

I won't do something that weird.

Wait.

There has to be another way.

Archmage Lei Wan, think of something.

Stop fighting it.

I don't want to do this to you.

To save Mr. Liang, just bear with it.

Stop it, Meow.

Miss Huang is a proper young lady.

Magic Infusion is too humiliating for her.

Of course I know that.

But a life is at stake. Shame can wait.

Enough. Stop joking around.

I was just trying to scare her.

But we tried other ways last time.

You saw what happened.

Only injuries or worse.

Not like we've tried everything.

There are still some
methods we haven't tried.

Stop, stop!

That idea is beyond shameless.

It's downright disgusting.

My first kiss is only for Xiaohong.

Don't even think about it.

Exactly.

You're the one taking advantage here.

How did I forget about that?

Isn't there any normal way to do this?

To channel the magic into your body,

there are only a few entry points.

Entry points.

I've got it!

They say illness enters through the mouth.

Eating something unclean
brings germs into the body.

So by that logic,

what if we treat the magic
like food and swallow it?

Isn't that the same principle?

But how do you get magic into her belly?

Did you forget?

I can conjure food with magic.

I can also infuse the food with magic.

Wow!

It really is different.

This is...

Cake.

The magic's in the cream.

This is a special magic cake.

But even so...

That's still way too much.

Well,

I wanted to give Miss Huang more magic.

I lost control and went overboard.

This is magic, not calories.

This is magic, not calories.

Stop beating around the bush.

You're making me dizzy.

The District Chief is dead.

Mr. Liang is badly hurt.

He said we'd build
District 9's business empire together.

Now we don't even have a team.

How can we not be worried?

Meow will bring Mr. Liang back soon.

Soon, soon, that's all we hear.

It's been a whole day.

The district office is closed.

People will start asking questions.

I used magic to clean up the scene.

Also,

no one should bother us these days.

CLOSED TODAY

Did you hear we had today off?

No, but the sign's already up.

Right.

Come on. A day off is good, right?

Let's go.

This can only hide it for so long.

We need a plan,
then an official statement.

This is bad.

Some stranger showed up.

They insisted on coming in.

The one from yesterday

was left mangled by Datui.

We still don't know who they are.

We thought trouble hit you in District 9,

so they sent someone to check.

But it seems unrelated to District 9.

Ask about what she looked like. Details.

Can you describe her again?

Very short, with short hair.

Her face was painted or masked.

I couldn't make out her face.

She can reshape herself like clay.

Doesn't sound like any
of the Eight Tiger Generals.

But none of the others look like that.

Finally done eating.

I'm stuffed.

How are you feeling now?

Can you feel the magic flowing in you?

I feel a wave rising from my stomach.

That's it.

That burp means your magic's full.

Then let's begin. Follow me.

Repeat after me.

Life can't stay on pause.
Get up and do it big.

Life can't stay on pause.

Get up and do it big.

It worked!

He's up.

That hit was hard.

Did he just get knocked out?

I didn't mean to.

His legs.

They're still twitching.

He's still alive.

Hurry, pull him down!

Don't pull off his pants.

I know. Just a little more.

Where am I?

Meow carried you back to District 10.

Do you remember what happened?

The District 9 Chief cut me to draw blood.

But why does my head hurt, not my chest?

Maybe you caught a chill while out.

Or maybe you slept wrong.

What about my chest?

Why has it turned pale?

Looks like healing needs more than magic.

It also uses a person's life force.

I won't let her hurt herself again.

The attack had a clear target.

We may already be under watch.

Then we need to speed up training

and secure support in both districts soon.

If needed, both districts can split off.

By the way, is Lan
okay alone in District 9?

The merchants left behind should be fine.

But I do want to get back soon.

Who are you?

You won people over with cheap bread,

then used the District Chief to clear us.

You were ready to take District 10.

But District 9 Chief's
death was an accident.

How can you take his seat properly?

Can we use the same trick again?

Not this time. I went too far.

So,

ready to face this head-on?

I left him in no shape to be seen.

I did admit fault out loud,

but this is still on you.

Things were that heated.

Who could have held back?

Oh, right.

I do have another way.

There's a spell called Disguise.

It can make you look like anyone.

There's magic that good?

Archmage Lei Wan,

why didn't you say so?

What are we waiting for? Teach me.

I'll become District 9 Chief to help Lan.

But this spell is very demanding.

It needs strong magic reserves,
and it tests your taste even more.

See? You have to do this.

Got it.

That's easy enough.

Behold.

The mirror's phantom now appears.

In this moment, I am not myself.

The changed form becomes the true self.

Transform now, reborn from the shell.

Who is that?

Is that me?

I guess so.

Why did it turn out like this?

Were you thinking of something weird?

How would I know thoughts affect spells?

Change me back, now.

I am not myself.
The changed form becomes the true self.

Transform now, reborn from the shell.

Transform now, reborn from the shell.

Transform now, reborn from the shell.

Young people really lack good taste.

Looks like I need to step in.

Wait.

Archmage Lei Wan, what are you doing?

I just need to focus my thoughts.

No need for you to help.

Hold still.

Let me rearrange your face.
- Oh, my gosh.

No, no.

Ouch, ouch.

Go easy on me.

Who are you, exactly?

Where is your District Chief?

Tell him to get out here now.
