From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 375 Lu Mingfei: They're back, they're all back!

Has the era of dragons ended?

When did it end? Nobody told her!

The shadowy figure's mind was in chaos, and she suddenly felt as if she had been left behind when the timeline shifted.

Or perhaps, the long-standing pressure of slaying dragons caused Angers to become mentally unstable?
The shadowy figure thought about it carefully and realized it wasn't impossible. He looked at Angers suspiciously and tried to think of the right words.

"As agreed, I will give you Norton's Dragonbone Cross."

Angers didn't bother to explain further and said, "As for the road ahead, you'll soon see it for yourself."

Aren't you curious about my identity?

After the shadowy figure spoke, he suddenly realized that he had asked a very stupid question.

“Not curious, it’s just one of the four monarchs anyway.” Angers lit a cigar, heaven knows where he got it from, and casually exhaled a puff of smoke. “By the way, don’t be late for class tomorrow, or you’ll lose credits.”

The shadowy figure panicked the moment it heard those words.

She admitted that sneaking into the Annihilation Well was indeed a risky move, but with her black combat suit and multiple layers of concealment, she was confident she wouldn't be discovered.

But now she suddenly felt a little uncertain. Could it be that she had really been exposed?

"You...you!" The shadowy figure opened its mouth, but found itself completely at a loss for words.

You can't just go up to Angers and ask him: Do you know who I am?

That's just too stupid!

Just as the shadowy figure was lost in thought, Angers flicked his finger, tossing his cigar into the groove of the bronze tree. He then turned and left with a flourish, waving goodbye as he said, "Oh, and remember to restore this place to its original state before you go."

"Yes, that's not right!"

The shadowy figure habitually agreed, but quickly realized that she was the Dragon King, so why was she being so humble?
But when she went to check again, she found that Angers was gone.

In the empty bronze space, she was left alone, staring at the destroyed alchemical matrix. All the thoughts and ideas she had when she infiltrated the space had turned into panic and helplessness.

Angers—no, it should be Kassel—have they discovered her true identity yet?!
Was handing her the Dragon Bone Cross a test, or did he truly not care anymore?

A jumble of thoughts swirled in her mind. Finally, the girl sighed softly, took out the bottle containing the Dragon Bone Cross, restored the alchemical matrix of the Well of Annihilation, and carefully returned along the path she had come from.

The next day, early in the morning.

Although both leaders of the student council and the Lionheart Society were absent, the 'day of freedom' that the students had fought for from the school proceeded as scheduled.

A piercing alarm suddenly blared across the empty campus, echoing like a howling, rampaging ghost.

Lu Mingfei, who had just finished eating breakfast for dozens of people in the canteen and still had a piece of bread in his mouth, had just stepped out of the canteen when he saw several people dressed in black combat uniforms and holding guns emerge from the dense bushes and trees by the roadside and aim their guns at him without hesitation.

"Oh, I almost forgot, today is a day of freedom."

The instant the gun was aimed at him, Lu Mingfei's body reacted before his nerves.

That was a completely subconscious reaction, a killing technique honed to near instinct and ingrained in one's bones after experiencing the extreme brutality of the battlefield.

While dodging the incoming bullet by turning his head, he stomped his right leg hard on the ground.

boom!
The hard, flat road surface underfoot was instantly dented, as if gunpowder had been buried inside, scattering gravel in all directions.

Suddenly, a flash appeared before the eyes of those who were trying to launch a sneak attack, followed by a sharp whooshing sound and a burst of wind, which swept towards them.

In the last second before losing consciousness, they vaguely saw a handsome boy wearing a Kassel school uniform. Then they suffered a concussion, as if struck by a hammer weighing hundreds of pounds. They were sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a tree trunk before everything went black and they lost consciousness.

Watching the students fly out in all directions, Lu Mingfei belatedly realized what had happened and slapped his forehead: "Damn, I went too far!"

Fortunately, Kassel College had some precautions in place, and these people weren't seriously injured; at most, they had a few broken bones and suffered minor concussions afterward. Boom!
Another bullet whizzed through the air.

However, Lu Mingfei seemed to have eyes in the back of his head; with a slight tilt of his head, he dodged the 'fatal' bullet.

Someone is sniping!
Lu Mingfei turned his head to look in the direction of the bullet, his eyes narrowed into slits, as if he were staring at the assassin from hundreds of meters away.

The 'assassin' hiding in the high clock tower discovered through her sniper scope that Lu Mingfei was watching her. Although she knew that at this distance, the other party could not possibly see her clearly, she still felt a chill inexplicably, as if she were being watched by a terrifying predator.

"I need to move to a different location!"

The assassin promptly put away his sniper rifle and said through his headset, "First ambush position completely wiped out. Repeat, first ambush position completely wiped out!"

"Understood. You continue to move to a new position, and we'll handle the rest!"

Nono's voice came through the earpiece.

"Second to tenth squads, slowly approach the canteen, advancing while providing cover!"

Wearing her combat uniform, Nono stared at Lu Mingfei on the monitor screen like a commander, and gave orders with a smile.

Soon, Lu Mingfei noticed that several hostile groups were rapidly approaching him.

"Target locked, fire!"

"Brothers, charge with me! Let's take down the S-class!"

"Get rid of him!"

Amidst the cacophony of shouts and cries, Lu Mingfei quickly saw several small teams closing in on him in a circular encirclement formation.

"Shoot! Shoot!"

Those people had excellent military skills, and although they had different slogans, they cooperated very well.

Countless bullets crisscrossed and whistled past his scalp, forcing Lu Mingfei to hide in the stairwell next to the cafeteria, his mind filled with questions.

Did something go wrong?
Isn't a day of freedom a battleground for both sides?
How did it inexplicably turn into two groups chasing and beating him alone?

"The S-class is hiding in the stairwell. Use rocket launchers to force him out!"

Someone shouted something, and Lu Mingfei's scalp tingled. He peeked out from behind cover and saw a burly man with a full beard excitedly carrying an RPG rocket launcher, aiming at Lu Mingfei's hiding spot, and then pulling the trigger hard.

The rocket launcher, trailing a plume of flame, rapidly expanded in view.

"Fuck!"

Lu Mingfei scrambled and rolled with all his might, rolling to the side to escape.

boom!
A wave of sweltering heat swept past.

But before Lu Mingfei could catch his breath, he saw several grenades arc through the air and land beside him.

"Fuck, why are you all attacking me?!" Fortunately, Lu Mingfei was exceptionally agile, and with a few tactical maneuvers, he directly infiltrated another cover.

However, this was not a safe place either; he could already hear dense footsteps approaching.

"Brother, it seems like their target is you~" The little devil, who always loves a good show, suddenly jumped out and laughed loudly: "How interesting, you've only been in school for one day and you're already being ganged up on by the whole school. Brother, keep it up~ I really believe in you."

After taking a few breaths, Lu Mingfei, who was hiding behind the cover, quickly regained his composure.

The scorching flames seemed to leap in his eyes, and an overwhelming fighting spirit, mixed with a feeling of excitement, gave him the illusion that he had returned to that familiar purgatory.

It's back, everything's back!
That's the feeling, it's absolutely amazing!
Every cell in Lu Mingfei's body felt like it was on fire. He shouted at the top of his lungs and charged out of the cover: "For the Emperor!!!"
