"It is reported that in Academy City's central region, the Seventh District's landmark building, the 'No Window Building,' suffered an unknown terrorist attack. The building was completely destroyed, but fortunately, there were no casualties, which is truly a blessing in disguise. Now, let's go to our on-site reporter for more."
Several display screens across Academy City continuously reported on the inexplicable disappearance of the Seventh District's landmark building, leading many students to discuss it.
"Oh, how terrifying, to actually encounter a terrorist attack."
"I suspect it was caused by that giant strange bird from last night."
"What strange bird?"
"You don't know? There are many videos online."
"Luckily it happened at night, otherwise, who knows how many casualties there would have been."
At a certain Hospital,
Dr. Meito Ansei, the guatai doctor, was inspecting patient rooms. He looked at the empty, open-windowed private room, covered his head, and sighed helplessly, "It seems like a patient who can't stay put. Seriously, surviving such fatal injuries, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a miracle. Can't they just quietly rest and recuperate?"
The person being talked about let out a big sneeze. He was covered in bandages from head to toe, looking like a mummy, leaning on medical crutches, walking alone on the street, ignoring the surprised and even horrified gazes of the people around him.
It was no wonder people around him were stunned. Who wouldn't be surprised to see a severely injured patient, covered in bandages, with a broken right arm and left leg—a state that could be described as heavily disabled—swaggering down the street? Moreover, he was wearing a patient's gown, and many people had already started contacting Judgment.
Arriving at a park, Rhode casually tossed aside his medical crutches and sat down, looking at his sole remaining left arm, he complained speechlessly,
"This is ridiculously strong. Is this the so-called strongest combat power of the Old Testament? This unknown power even suppressed my Curse Power, preventing me from using Reversal Technique for treatment."
"Well, I should be adapting to it by now." As he spoke, Rhode looked up. A strange dharma wheel, difficult for ordinary people to perceive, floated above Rhode's head.
It was Mahoraga's dharma wheel, which was trying to adapt to the unknown energy within his body. After spending about a night, Mahoraga's analysis was nearing its end.
'But it wasn't without Harvest.'
Looking at the Sukuna Panel that appeared before him, Rhode uncharacteristically smiled.

He finally understood what a monstrous talent Infinite Transcendence was. In the face of extreme life-or-death battles, this kind of improvement was like riding a rocket, with no Bottleneck, constantly improving. He felt that if he went through a few more of these, splitting a planet with a flick of his finger would be nothing.
But thinking about provoking that foul-mouthed angel again, he decided against it. That guy definitely held back, otherwise, he wouldn't even exist as dust. Fortunately, this angel also had a bit of a playful nature, allowing him, this variable, to exist on Aleister's chessboard.
Otherwise, even if he didn't die, he would incur a considerable debt. The System's backup protection System required a significant cost to activate, and he really didn't want to try it unless absolutely necessary.
"Um, sir, do you need me to call an ambulance for you?" A sudden, timid girl's voice came from his side, making Rhode instinctively look up.
He saw two girls. One girl had short black hair and light brown eyes. Although her eyebrows were relatively thick, the flowers adorning her head were her most distinctive feature. She had a loli Physique and wore the iconic school uniform with a red scarf matching the uniform tied at her chest.
The other girl wore a familiar school uniform, the girls' uniform of Tokiwadai Middle School, and her hair was styled in twin tails with bows.
They were the other two members of the Railgun Four, the Judgment duo: Haruue Erii, known as the 'Constant Temperature Reaper,' and Shirai Kuroko, known as the 'Railgun's Mount.'
"No, it's not needed. I'm just resting here. You don't have to mind me." Rhode casually waved his hand, signaling them not to bother him. Right now, he just wanted to wait for Mahoraga to complete its analysis, then use Reversal Technique to recover from his injuries, and then go check out the free residence Aleister had assigned him.
"Um, I think, sir, given your condition, it would be better to go to the Hospital." Haruue Erii's face was full of worry. In the eyes of outsiders, Rhode's current condition was no different from having one foot in the grave. If he continued to be left outside, he might just die out there.
And as a diligent and responsible Judgment member, what she needed to do now was to safely escort him to the Hospital and save his life.
"Please cooperate with our work, sir." Shirai Kuroko's unique voice made Rhode look at her a few more times. To be honest, Shirai Kuroko's voice actor had a very strong recognizable quality, like 'Betty' from Re:Zero or 'White Night Yaksha' from Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren't They?—both characters with 'hentai' attributes.
"What kind of rude gaze is that?" Shirai Kuroko noticed the strangeness in Rhode's gaze, raised her delicate eyebrows, and glared at Rhode in dissatisfaction.
"No, nothing." Ignoring the girl's glare, Rhode noticed the rotation of Mahoraga's dharma wheel. After nearly 12 hours, the analysis was finally complete. With the rotation of the dharma wheel, the influence of the unknown energy on Rhode's body was lifted.
Rhode stood up, his bandages burst apart, and the missing parts of his body began to grow bones, followed by visible flesh spreading out. To the two girls' stunned surprise, Rhode used Reversal Technique to complete his limb Rebirth. He swung his brand new right arm, and his left foot firmly touched the ground as he began to stretch his muscles and bones.
With a series of bone-cracking sounds, Rhode stretched and said to the two girls, whose jaws were almost on the floor,
"See? I told you I was fine."
...A moment of silence, the two girls exchanged glances and both gave a wry smile.
"Is this gentleman's Item limb Rebirth?"
"No, my Item is called Reversal Technique. It can not only be used on myself but also to heal others. If your limbs are cut off, as long as you're still alive, I can still treat you."
...Shirai Kuroko's face was covered in black lines. She felt like this guy was cursing her.
