Power stone guys??????

After Drake left the room, a sense of awkwardness lingered in the air. Marilyn contemplated her next move.
Should she go see the training dummy as well?
The thought crossed her mind briefly, but she quickly dismissed it. Instead, she decided to savor the long-awaited silence, taking a seat at the head of her desk.
Years had passed since her ti at the academy, yet the mories she made there remained her most cherished treasures.
She still maintained close contact with her forr colleagues, and despite the rivalries that had ford, she couldn't deny her deep attachnt to that place.
To Marilyn, the academy was her true ho—a sanctuary where there were no monsters or dangerous dungeons threatening her. It was a place of respite.
Just as she was about to indulge in a pleasant nap, an unexpected event shattered the tranquility.
"Personality Expel Smash!!!"
Marilyn's body jolted as if struck by an electric shock. She felt an imnse impact, as if she had been physically attacked. It was a sensation she had never experienced before, leaving her bewildered and disoriented.
"Ughh!?"
Her consciousness was abruptly snatched away, leaving her defenseless against the unknown assailant. The force of the blow was overwhelming, and Marilyn couldn't help but shudder in response.
It took her a re 0.13 seconds to switch her mindset into a battle-ready stance. During that brief mont, Marilyn's mind raced, formulating nine strategies to counter the threat. However, the identity and ans of her adversary remained a mystery.
As she tried to make sense of the situation, Marilyn's thoughts raced. "It can't be a magical creature. This is a villain," she concluded, considering the possibility that soone with malicious intent had used their powers to target her. She wondered if they were aware of her presence at the academy.
Instinctively, Marilyn activated her Hunter abilities, scanning the area for any entities with hostility throughout the area.
The search completed in a matter of seconds, but to her surprise, the results ca up empty.
There were no enemies within a radius of 605.2 km2. It was inconceivable that soone could execute such a lethal attack without any apparent risk.
The humiliation of being caught off guard and suffering the consequences of the enemy's attack was difficult for Marilyn to accept.
As an SS-class Hunter, she had always been composed and in control, able to react swiftly to any threat.
Yet, in this instance, she found herself trembling, her forehead pressed against her desk, her arms wrapped protectively around her stomach.
The damage inflicted by the enemy's assault left her feeling as if she urgently needed to use the bathroom—an uncomfortable and embarrassing sensation that added to her frustration and confusion.
"This is a powerful enemy," Marilyn realized, her mind racing to understand the situation. "I didn't expect them to retaliate imdiately for using my magic with detection...!"
It was a clear warning, a ssage that sent chills down her spine. If she attempted to locate their whereabouts, they wouldn't let her off the hook.
"I'm certain it's a villain," Marilyn concluded, her instincts telling her that soone with malicious intent was observing her every move.
However, unbeknownst to Marilyn, the one responsible for the attack was Lucas, who had unknowingly struck a magical scarecrow without any intention of targeting her.
In the world of this, the protagonist would have the opportunity to pursue Marilyn later in the story. But given the vast power difference between them, following the villain's path would never bring them close to her.
Yet, the "Personality Expel" had created an event that shouldn't have occurred within the realm of this. The small enchanted scarecrow that Marilyn had left behind during her student council days unexpectedly beca the conduit for the "Personality Expel" attack.
Even Lucas, the user of the power, was unaware of this particular characteristic of the ability.
For example, if Personality Expel were used on a disguised piece or a summoning of an adversary, the effect would be "transmitted" to the main body. If Lucas had encountered a summoner in battle, he would have discovered this fact.
But reality took a different course, a delightful twist born from 70% chance and 30% crude circumstances. As a result, Marilyn's dignity was now being tested.
Marilyn found herself compromised, her precious and noble character challenged by this unexpected assault. "But what kind of assault is this?" she wondered, feeling the sweat on her brow.
The sensation was overwhelming, disorienting her in a way she had never experienced before. Even though several seconds had passed since the last strike, she was unable to lift herself from the chair.
"This is not a level where one can endure or tolerate!" Marilyn realized, her intuition as an SS-class hunter speaking loud and clear. She understood that this was not the kind of attack that could be withstood and overco. The faceless opponent held the initiative, keeping her on edge with each passing mont.
A vertiginous feeling coursed through her, as if she was about to release sothing crucial that she must not relinquish as a person. Her composure was slipping away, and the situation demanded answers.
"What do you want... tell !" she demanded, her voice filled with determination.
At that mont, the '30-second interval' began. Lucas, driven by his relentless and inhuman nature, chose to accelerate the assault, intensifying Marilyn's struggle.
Marilyn's breath ca in ragged pants, her voice reduced to low, animalistic moans as she struggled to comprehend the situation.
"Certain of it. This villain... overflowing with malice towards humans..." she muttered, her voice filled with a mix of fear and disbelief.
There was no hope for rcy; Marilyn could sense the sheer malevolence emanating from her faceless adversary.
