I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

It was a wave of lightning strikes that destroyed everything like a storm.

An uncontrollable, massive bolt of lightning swept across the ground, creating a shockwave that transformed into a raging storm. The ancient city was completely engulfed by the light, and bolts of lightning flew indiscriminately in all directions.

The scene resembled the largest thundercloud in history suddenly appearing on the ground.

Itogami Island was in turmoil as if it had been bombed, and the surrounding sea was as fierce as a tsunami.

This extraordinary situation, which seemed to change the very nature of the world, lasted for at most about twenty seconds.

The thunder and gale were eventually completely wiped out, as if nothing had happened.

However, the claw marks that caused the destruction could not be erased.

What remains before us is the warehouse street, riddled with fan-shaped holes and reduced to ruins.

Gil was surrounded by a golden light shield. In the end, only he and Yukina Himeragi, who reacted quickly and used her silver spear to create a barrier that protected herself and the old-generation vampire man, were unharmed.

"Tch! What a nuisance!" Gil looked at Akatsuki lying on the ground and was furious.

Finally, I had a chance to catch that teacher and find out why he came here, but that guy, Kojou, actually... damn it, what a terrible teammate!

Chapter 277 Surveillance?

The next day, the media was completely dominated by the mysterious explosion that occurred in Itogami City.

Photos of the damaged warehouse street were prominently displayed on an entire news page, and eyewitness accounts were repeatedly broadcast on television and related video websites.

Most of the damaged buildings were food company warehouses, about sixty in total.

The power outage affected approximately 20,000 households, and as of this morning, half of those households still had not had their power restored.

The connecting bridge between Island East and Island South, as well as the train tracks, were also severely damaged, with direct damages alone amounting to approximately seven billion dollars.

If indirect damages are included, the total amount of harm is said to be over 50 billion. The only saving grace is that there were no deaths or injuries.

"That's really surprising," Enkidu commented as he watched the news.

"Crunch crunch crunch..." A slightly discordant sound rang out.

“There are rumors that… the warehouse fire was caused by a lightning strike,” Nero said, sipping his coffee.

"Crunch crunch crunch..." The sound was still ringing.

“Natural disasters and stuff… those things are obviously caused by some kind of magic…” Enkidu said, “Very violent magic, it might be a demon.”

"Crunch crunch crunch..." The sound still echoed in the room.

“Speaking of which… brother has been chewing ice cubes all morning… is that alright? Won’t he get an upset stomach?” Nero tilted his head, looking at Jill who was grabbing ice cubes and putting them in her mouth, and asked.

“There won’t be any problems… he’s just a little depressed right now, that’s why he’s like this…” Enkidu said helplessly.

Actually... Jill was just in a bad mood.

Not only were we bombed last night, but the teacher also got away. What I hate most is the mess that bastard Akira Kojo made, making me clean up the mess!

He was busy until 3 a.m. before he went to sleep, and he has only slept for a total of five hours so far.

If Gil hadn't rested for about two hours yesterday, making him less tired, he would have already charged into Kojou's house with Excalibur or used a Berserker class card for a Dream Summon and utterly crushed him.

Or rather, if it weren't for the fact that Akatsuki Nagisa was at Kojou's house, and that Himeragi Yukina was there too, Gil would really have done it.

Hmm... a beam cannon piercing the heart or something...

"Crunch crunch crunch".

Ugh... I'm so annoyed, so annoyed.

Unable to vent his anger, Jill grabbed a block of ice, and to Nero's horrified gaze, the ice melted into water in Jill's hand.

"..." Jill acted as if nothing had happened, grabbed another ice cube, and popped it into her mouth.

"..." Enkidu snatched the ice cube that Gil was about to put in his mouth.

"Alright, even if you're healthy, it's still not good to eat ice cubes in air conditioning first thing in the morning." Enkidu crushed the ice cube in his hand. "Gil, what are you going to say now?"

“…” Gil judged from Enkidu’s strength and the ice cubes that had been crushed into powder…

"I'm full," Jill said sensibly, tossing two ice cubes into her water glass.

“…Confiscated.” Enkidu paused for two seconds before taking the water glass from Gilles’ hand.

"Nooooo! Enkidu, you can't do this..."

"Crack!" The water glass was crushed into pieces, and the water inside splashed out.

The ice cubes in the water glass were even crushed into powder.

Enkidu looked at Gil, "I'm doing this for your own good."

“…Okay, you can do it that way. My best friend is always right.” Jill chose to follow her heart.

What? I acted like a coward? Are you kidding me! How can you call it cowardice when it comes to the King's affairs?! That's called supporting your best friend's decision!

Yes, I support my best friend's decision.

After Jill found the perfect excuse to cover up her cowardice (crossed out), she gave up thinking about the water glass and ice cubes.

So Jill stood up. "I'm going out."

"Brother, I'm going too!"

"Hurry up." Jill didn't go out immediately.

Nero is also a student at Ayakai Academy, which gives Gilles a real headache.

After all, no one can guarantee that Nangong Nayue won't cause trouble and actually assign him to Nero's class.

Probably not, Nangong Nayue shouldn't be that wicked... right?

……

It was 10 a.m.

"..." At this moment, Jill was looking at her students with a complicated expression.

“I am your new teacher—just call me Jill. For the next period of time, I will be your world history teacher.”

Jill glanced over and immediately spotted two familiar faces from the class.

One is Akatsuki, and the other is Nero.

Jill now desperately wants to go back two hours and chop off the version of herself who liked to randomly plant flags.

What?! How could I have believed that Nangong Nayue wouldn't cause trouble?!

He could already imagine that cunning, seemingly young girl smirking!

"So young..."

"She's probably a recent college graduate, and a student teacher..."

"Why is this happening..."

"But this teacher is so handsome..."

"He is, after all, Yu's brother."

Whispers arose from below the podium, mixed with two rather strange voices.

Jill ignored all of that and simply picked up her textbook. "Alright, students, let's begin the lesson."

His second thought was that he absolutely had to settle accounts with that guy, Nangong Nayue!

absolute.

……

Lunch break was fast approaching, and Jill, having concealed herself, arrived at the door of an office, her displeasure and anger obvious to anyone.

Jill pushed open the door.

"You've arrived." Nangong Nayue looked at Jill.

"You did this on purpose?" Jill frowned.

“Now that you know Xiao’s true identity, you have to help me out… How about you help me keep an eye on him?” Nangong Nayue said, picking up a thick stack of documents.

"Hmph... I don't believe that such a dangerous being would only have Himeragi Yukina as a watcher—he probably has another watcher by his side, one who is more secretive and has a good relationship with Akatsuki Kojou—so why would he need me to watch him?"

Jill walked over and sat down opposite Nangong Nayue, and asked.

"After all, even their words might not be able to restrain Xiaogu City's rampage... You're different, you're very strong, you might be able to do it?" Nangong Nayue said without looking up as she sorted through the documents.

Chapter 278 The Saint's Right Arm

"What are those documents?" Jill saw Nangong Nayue organizing the thick stack of documents, so instead of continuing Nangong Nayue's previous conversation, she asked a question as if changing the subject.

"...You can look at this if you want, since you're an attack mage anyway." Then, Na Yue roughly threw a thick stack of documents onto the table.

Although we don't know where these came from, they appear to be police files. They are enlarged images of CCTV footage, with a rough, unedited look.

"Oh, is that so... They were all demons who were attacked."

Jill flipped through the documents, then nodded and said.

"Do you know anything?" Nangong Nayue asked.

"Ha, probably." Jill flipped through the photos and saw two familiar faces.

"Huh?" Jill raised an eyebrow.

"Speaking of which, do you know about the outrageous incident that happened in Island East yesterday?" Nangong Nayue asked.

"It was all over the news on TV and in the newspapers, and I was also in charge of handling the aftermath."

Jill continued to answer Nangong Nayue's questions with an indifferent expression, while still flipping through the documents.

"Actually, it's said that an old-generation vampire was discovered near the scene. Apparently, someone anonymously informed the Fire and Rescue Department that he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Although they kept it from the media..."

"I saved that guy, though I only managed to rescue him. He's got the vitality to live, so dying isn't that easy for him. That's all." Jill flipped through the documents, examining them carefully.

"That old-generation vampire is ostensibly an employee of a trading company, but he's been suspected by the police of being a member of a secret transportation organization. And yesterday's warehouse street seems to be a frequent location for such transactions. However, the organization's subordinates all claim they know absolutely nothing about the trading partners."

"...Okay, I see. And then?"
