I rely on myself

Chapter 773 Academy x Battlefield
"…Is that so? That's good, but I have heard about it."

The witch's voice suddenly changed, and an interested smile appeared on her face. Looking at Astrid like this, everyone else had a bad feeling in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do.

"A special boy appeared in this academy. He defeated Edmond by himself, and he had the support of hundreds of thousands of mechanical troops. Can you tell me about this boy from Qing Dynasty? My lovely granddaughter."

Although she said the words of request, both her tone and actions were full of an attitude that no one could be refused. Of course, Olga did not dare to refuse, and quickly told Astrid all the information she had collected about Lin Yuan.

As Olga told Astrid the information about Lin Yuan, the smile on her face became wider, and in the end she even smiled as exaggeratedly as the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

Looking at the terrifying smile on the witch's face, everyone else felt a chill and felt pity for Lin Yuan's subsequent fate.

"I really came to the right place this time, this time."

After listening to Olga's story, Astrid became more interested in Lin Yuan. No! Or rather, she couldn't wait to catch him in front of her.

"Although I've seen some intelligence about the kid from Qing, it seems that the intelligence is still conservative. Otherwise, Edward wouldn't let him go like this. This is really getting interesting. Hahahahahahahaha..."

At the end, Astrid just burst out laughing, her eyes sparkling with great interest.

The others present were obviously more afraid of Astrid who looked like this. After all, it was not a good thing for a witch to take an interest in someone. Rather, it was a disaster.

"But although I really want to get that Qing kid here right away, the other preparations are not yet complete, so let's wait a little longer."

Astrid said this regretfully as her laughter gradually stopped. Olga suddenly had a bad feeling when she heard this and asked hurriedly.

"Grandmother, what do you mean by that?"

"Haha, don't be so restrained, my dear granddaughter. Just as you thought, I will take over this academy."

It was only then that Astrid revealed the purpose of her sudden visit to the Royal Academy of Mechanics. It was for no other reason than to take over this academy. Not to mention the Zecarus brothers and Dorothy who were unaware of this, even Olga, who had anticipated this, was very surprised when she heard this.

But despite being surprised, Olga did not completely lose her composure and raised the biggest question: "But, Grandmother, if we take over the academy, we will have to confront the dean. Do you have any plans for this?"

"Of course I have. After all, the reason why that guy is called the 'strongest magician of the 19th century' is because he stole the 'Lemengaton' from me. I must find a way to get it back if I have the chance this time."

Astrid said this confidently, which showed that she didn't just act on impulse, but had a plan in place. Olga naturally wouldn't say anything more about this.

Early the next morning, the college was as quiet as usual. Except for the occasional early risers who came to exercise, it was a quiet and peaceful scene.

No matter what secrets this academy hides, the main theme here is always the daily life of the academy. However, this peaceful appearance was soon completely broken by a group of uninvited guests.

Magicians suddenly appeared from every corner of the academy, wearing uniform black cloaks embroidered with thorns and large roses blooming on the black cloth, and with black panther-shaped automatic puppets by their side.

Under the manipulation of the magicians, the black panther-shaped puppets opened their mouths one after another and shot out purple plasma.
Explosions continued to sound, and plasma hit the buildings one by one. As the violent electric current flowed everywhere, the stone walls also turned red. The next moment, they expanded like toast, and then exploded and were completely destroyed.

The destructive power of plasma is quite amazing. Every time it hits the target, it will cause a terrible explosion.

After all, that was a magic that was several levels higher than the Fireball Technique or the Heat Pile Technique — Fusion Explosion.

All of a sudden, the entire college seemed to be bombed. A large number of buildings were hit and collapsed by the fierce artillery fire. A large amount of black smoke rushed up. At this moment, every corner of the college turned into a battlefield.

Faced with this indiscriminate destruction, the college staff naturally needed no words, and even the students launched a counterattack.

Those who can serve as professors at the Walpurgis Royal School of Mechanics are naturally not ordinary people. Each of them has considerable strength. With the help of outstanding students from all over the world, they quickly stabilized the situation and began to fight back.

But the attacking black-robed magicians were naturally not pushovers, and in the face of counterattacks, they all took out daggers or magic tools and engaged in close combat or magic to suppress them.

Each of these black-robed magicians possesses extraordinary fighting ability, and each of their strikes is aimed at the vital points, making it a veritable killing skill.

If professors and students are careless when facing such opponents for the first time, they may lose their lives.

To make matters worse, shortly after the attack began, an unusually sharp voice suddenly resounded throughout the academy.

“Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa————!”

As this sharp sound rang out in the academy, many automatic puppets at the academy first stopped moving for a moment, then all lost control and began to wreak havoc on the surroundings, completely ignoring the manipulation of the puppet masters.

Faced with this familiar situation, many people recalled the Black Prince's Rebellion that took place just two months ago. At that time, the Black Prince Edmund used the automaton named Evangeline, which was obtained from Professor Ionela Eliade and equipped with "Absolute Kingship" and "Infinite Chain Reaction", as a means to launch a large-scale magic and seize control of almost all the automatons in Liverpool.

And now the same situation happened again, but now it happened inside the academy.

"and many more!"

"How is this going!?"

"stop!"

"Come back quickly!"

Faced with their own automatic puppets that were out of control, many puppet masters became panicked. Some people even increased their magic power output in an attempt to regain control of the puppets. However, this was of course ineffective. The output magic power was even directly absorbed by the puppets and turned into greater power that was vented to the surroundings, even affecting themselves.

The entire academy completely turned into a battlefield at this moment, with screams everywhere!
