IW: Chapter 295 - Subduing the Time Card, Thor Being Followed!
"It seems you've failed a few times; it looks like you can't deal with the Time Card."
Bai Ye could actually sense the time reversal.
After they failed a few times, the Time Card was still controlling the clock tower.
Perhaps to toy with Sakura.
The Time Card didn't directly revert to an earlier timeline; instead, it consistently maintained a half-hour loop.
As soon as Sakura was about to approach the Time Card, it would immediately reverse time.
This was only because Sakura posed no threat to the current Time Card.
It just slowly played with her.
"But every time we go up, time gets reversed! The same will happen to you!"
Although Kero didn't want to tell Bai Ye about the Clow Card's ability.
But in the end, he couldn't hold back.
After all, Bai Ye's words made it sound like they were very weak.
Were they weak?
Kero didn't think so!
"I'm sorry, Kero didn't mean it that way!"
Sakura apologized repeatedly.
Her personality dictated that she wouldn't argue with people, especially strangers.
Seeing Kero's words seemed to express some doubt.
As Kero's master, Sakura felt it was necessary to apologize for him.
"I know, but since you've already tried, it's my turn now."
Bai Ye smiled, not caring about what Kero said.
The Clow Card itself didn't belong to him.
It's just that this Time Card was too tempting for Bai Ye.
Of course, he wanted to take it.
Later, when he could fully understand or replicate this thing.
He would then exchange this card with Sakura.
Just exchange it for some other cards to replicate.
No matter how good the clow cards were, this card didn't belong to him but to Clow Reed.
Ultimately, Sakura was the one chosen.
Him taking this wasn't the optimal solution.
"Sakura, are we just going to watch?"
Tomoyo was a bit hesitant; she was actually planning to film Sakura.
But Sakura was currently resting.
In that case, she could shift her focus to Bai Ye instead.
However, her camera still didn't want to leave Sakura.
After all, she had prepared a battle robe for Sakura today.
"Let's go with him!"
Sakura hesitated for a moment, then finally decided to follow Bai Ye's footsteps.
Although climbing the clock tower earlier had left her exhausted.
"He probably can't, right?!"
Kero was also exhausted, otherwise, he would have definitely followed.
Of course, it was mainly because Kero didn't think Bai Ye could do it.
They had tried so many times, but in the end, they still couldn't get close to the Time Card.
Bai Ye had very strong magic power.
But it was his first time dealing with the Time Card, so it probably wouldn't be that simple to subdue, right?
"Whether he can subdue the Time Card or not, I can't give up!"
Sakura wasn't sure if Bai Ye could subdue the Time Card.
She only knew that her mission was to subdue the Time Card.
She released it, so could she just stand by and watch Bai Ye take this Time Card?
Regardless of whether Bai Ye could get it, that wasn't a reason for her to give up.
"I understand, Sakura, let's hurry and catch up!"
Kero's expression froze, and he realized he had been a bit careless.
This matter shouldn't be given up on.
"Then let's act!"
The most excited was Tomoyo.
On one hand, she could film the battle suit specially prepared for Sakura.
On the other hand, she could also follow and film the handsome big brother.
Tomoyo quickly followed Sakura and Kero.
Bai Ye had already walked a distance ahead.
Watching Sakura quickly running up from behind.
She ran while reminding him, "If we go up like this, it will discover us!"
The Time Card was on the hour hand at the very top of the clock tower.
Sakura had seen it before, but the moment she saw it, time reset.
"You're just going to tell me that?"
A smile flashed across Bai Ye's lips, and he slowed his pace slightly, looking curiously at the panting Sakura.
This matter was also an experience she had summarized before, right?
She just told him?
That's right!
How could she tell him!
Kero got anxious.
This was some experience they had just summarized.
Going up like this would get them discovered by the Time Card; he originally wanted Bai Ye to suffer a bit.
"I… I just felt that I should tell you, and I actually don't want to keep looping in one day."
Sakura had thought that perhaps the information she provided would allow Bai Ye to obtain the Time Card.
For her, that would indeed mean losing this opportunity.
But Sakura hoped even more that she wouldn't have to repeat every day.
If Bai Ye had the ability to subdue the Time Card, then perhaps it would be alright?
Sakura wasn't entirely sure, but at least this way, she was following her heart.
"The Time Card is temporarily useful to me…"
Bai Ye hadn't thought of keeping it forever.
After all, Clow Reed's reincarnation was still around.
Moreover, for Bai Ye, the Time Card was actually very good when used with the Return Card.
There were also some other powerful clow cards.
But without exception, these cards all belonged to others' power.
"Why are you collecting clow cards?"
Kero asked curiously at this moment.
It seemed unrelated to Bai Ye.
If clow cards were collected by someone with ill intentions, it could cause significant harm.
Kero didn't sense that kind of aura from Bai Ye.
However, it was inherently Sakura's role as a Clow Card user to retrieve them.
"I want to study the clow cards."
"Study?"
"Yes, for example, the Time Card, the power to control time, is still worth studying."
Bai Ye didn't hide anything; he originally took it to study.
Of course, he could occasionally use it.
"The clow cards contain strong magic power, and if you're not careful, they might affect the user."
Kero pondered for a moment, then finally reminded Bai Ye.
He admitted that he had a slight animosity towards Bai Ye earlier.
Because Bai Ye was collecting clow cards, it was impossible for him not to have animosity.
There was definitely a conflict between them.
Kero hoped Sakura could collect the clow cards, but then someone suddenly appeared saying he also wanted clow cards.
Now it seemed impossible to stop Bai Ye.
However, Kero still reminded Bai Ye again.
"I know, little one."
"..."
Suddenly, he regretted reminding this scoundrel!
"Sakura, let go of me! I want to fight this guy one-on-one!"
Kero glared at Bai Ye, baring his fangs and claws.
He swore, if his tail hadn't been caught by Sakura, he would have definitely made Bai Ye pay.
"Kero, save your strength, you might have to do it again later."
Sakura rubbed her forehead, looking at Bai Ye apologetically and saying, "I'm sorry, Kero is like this."
Apologize for what!
What's wrong with him being like this!
Although Kero wanted to act, considering what Sakura had said earlier, he finally stopped.
Indeed, it might happen again later.
So Kero stopped talking.
He was waiting.
Waiting for Bai Ye to fail later, then he would definitely mock Bai Ye!
"If we get any closer, we'll be discovered."
While chatting, the few of them had already walked to the base of the clock.
The Time Card was up there; Sakura had been discovered just a little further ahead before.
"I see it."
Bai Ye looked up and saw the Time Card.
Apparently, the Time Card also noticed the arrival of Bai Ye and the others.
He wasn't flustered.
After all, it wasn't the first time.
He had already toyed with that little girl a few times before.
"Let's go."
So fast!!?
A trace of shock flashed across Kero's face.
Was this truly a speed a human could possess?
He hadn't even used magic.
Looking at Bai Ye, it seemed like pure physical combat, right?!
And this speed obviously caught the Time Card's attention.
He could feel Bai Ye was very strong.
"Useless."
The Time Card looked at Bai Ye; although his speed was very fast, his time hourglass had already begun to reverse.
No matter how fast Bai Ye was, he controlled time.
"Your Shield will not be affected by the Time Card."
Bai Ye reminded Sakura, while he himself directly hid inside Kamui Space.
"Shield?!"
Sakura was momentarily stunned, but the next second she immediately reacted and began to use the Shield.
She had subdued the Shield, but she had never thought of using it to block the Time Card's time reversal before.
"It really works!?"
Inside the Shield.
She was indeed not affected by the time reversal.
"How come he wasn't affected either?!"
Kero was originally a bit happy.
After all, if Bai Ye was affected, then wouldn't this Time Card be theirs to reclaim?
But when Kero looked at Bai Ye, he wasn't affected either?!
"How amazing."
Tomoyo was protected by the Shield, and everything around them had stopped.
This was the power of magic.
"The Time Card is leaving!"
Sakura was originally overjoyed, finally finding a way to counter the Time Card.
But she didn't expect the Time Card to sense something was wrong and seem to be preparing to flee.
"You can't escape."
With that, Bai Ye waved his hand, directly summoning a bolt of lightning to strike down the Time Card.
Bai Ye had been keeping an eye on the Time Card's movements.
Before entering Kamui Space, he had arranged a bolt of lightning in the air, ready to strike down the Time Card at any moment.
The Time Card itself didn't have much combat power.
So when the Time Card discovered something was wrong, it would immediately flee.
"Seal it."
The Time Card had lost its combat power, and now it needed Sakura to seal it.
Bai Ye would not seal the Clow Card.
He was gambling.
Gambling that this Clow Card would eventually become his card.
According to the anime, the Time Card ultimately chose Syaoran.
"Me?"
Sakura originally thought this card would have nothing to do with her in the end.
She was actually a bit regretful.
But then she thought about how Bai Ye reminded her and dealt with the escaping Time Card.
She believed this card belonged to Bai Ye.
After all, Bai Ye had said earlier that he wanted to take the Time Card.
"Yes, seal it with your staff."
"Sakura, hurry up!"
This was what Bai Ye himself said.
Seeing that Bai Ye said so, Kero also quickly urged her.
"Okay."
Sakura touched the staff, and the Time Card turned into a card.
However, to Kero's surprised gaze, the Time Card finally floated through the air and landed in Bai Ye's hand.
"It seems it's just as I thought. Whoever subdues this card, it will ultimately choose them. This time, I won."
Saying that, Bai Ye waved the Clow Card in his hand.
Although he spoke casually, Bai Ye was still relieved.
After all, he was just going by experience.
He wasn't sure if it would truly turn out exactly as he thought and definitely belong to him.
"There's something like that?"
This touched upon a blind spot in Sakura's knowledge.
She didn't expect that with clow cards, whoever subdued it, the Clow Card would ultimately choose them.
"That's how it is…"
Kero was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Alright."
Compared to Kero, Sakura only felt a bit of regret.
Besides, she didn't solve the Time Card herself in the first place.
Bai Ye proposed the idea, and Bai Ye was the one who ultimately got it.
"Time won't reset anymore, so we can go back and rest. I'll temporarily take this card."
Bai Ye put away the Time Card.
He didn't know how to use it yet.
But it didn't require a Clow Card user to use it.
As long as one possessed magic, they should be able to use it, right?
"That…"
"Don't worry, you and Haibara can be friends if you want. She also transferred to your school by chance."
She wasn't trying to ask about that!
Sakura smiled wryly, looking at the already departed Bai Ye, and for a moment didn't know what to say.
This should be the only two good pieces of news today, right?
First, no more time resetting.
Second, she could become friends with Haibara.
But...
Weren't they already friends?
"Sakura, I filmed everything today!"
Tomoyo took out her camera; it recorded everything that happened tonight.
Bai Ye's actions just now had indeed somewhat shocked Tomoyo.
She hadn't expected Bai Ye to be so powerful.
"Tomoyo, isn't it bad to film him like that?"
Sakura herself agreed, but Bai Ye didn't.
Would this be inappropriate?
"It should be fine, I'll ask next time."
Tomoyo was still a bit reluctant to delete it.
She decided to ask Bai Ye's opinion next time; if he didn't mind, she would keep it.
"Please, what we should be thinking about now is how to reclaim the Time Card…"
A trace of helplessness flashed across Kero's face.
This card would later be controlled by Bai Ye.
His strength was simply incomparable to Sakura's.
"Didn't that big brother say he would give it to me later?"
"..."
Sakura, you really are too naive.
Kero couldn't help but inwardly complain.
The other party only said he would give it later, but whether he would give it or not was not certain.
So how could Sakura be so sure about this?!
What if Bai Ye didn't give it later?
But now wasn't the time for him to think about that; he should collect the other clow cards quickly before Bai Ye set his sights on them.
On the other side.
Just after returning home, Bai Ye felt as if he was hugged by something.
Brainwave?
"Lord Bai Ye, you're finally back! I feel like I've been followed by something lately!!!"
