Two seconds later, he died and took the umbrella along with him.

I guess that would be my fault for updating inconsistently. If you are still interested in the story, how about giving it another chance once more chapters pile up? As of today, there are 87836 Words uploaded publicly, so I guess when we reach 100k or 150k, you can binge it? All up to you, brother. Anyway, thank you for coming this far! I appreciate you being interested enough to reach this point.

But seriously, though, which part made you feel that way? I want to avoid such things in the future.

His thoughts behind it were: Short-term Solutions = He weakens her a bit for some moments enough to endure it, Long-term = She wouldn't do shit because he thinks that while she's fast, she can't be at every place at once.

Yes. It is a continuously accelerating rod that is created WITH HER energy. You are correct, it attracts/absorbs her energy and uses it to strengthen itself. It acts as a kind of hostage situation. Inazuma's archipelago is being held hostage, with the rods acting as the gun, in which he strongly implied to her that by his will or death, the rods will be let loose. So yep, rods to stop her from zapping him.

Thank you for the feedback, though. This is very helpful, I will try to avoid this much gap in the future. Sorry for the repeated deletion of my replies. I wasn't able to convey everything the 1st and 2nd time in a single reply, and I looked again to try and edit it, but it seems you can't do that here. I am currently writing Chapter 52, though I have yet to upload it, I will try to keep what you said here in mind in future chapters.

I made the dialogue that way so that I wouldn't, me, WOULDN'T CRINGE WHEN I SAY IT OUTLOUD For some reason, I get embarrassed by what I write when I reread it. So I wanted the dialogues to feel like something someone would actually say. As for why the narrations are written that way, someone mentioned that I should keep the description and narration as formal as I can.
