Lin Ye glanced over instinctively and recognized it immediately. The building in Odin Square had a Byzantine style; it was Valhalla. On the top of Valhalla stood a rooster sculpture. When Erii saw the rooster, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Lin Ye was both amused and exasperated. What kind of strange explanation was this—"fighters under attack"?

Meanwhile, Masashi Tomiyama, standing nearby, couldn't help but explain, "Eri-kun, this rooster actually represents..."

Erii listened from the side, nodding occasionally as if she understood.

Actually, she didn't understand anything, but she felt that since everyone had explained it, she would seem stupid if she still didn't understand.

After Masashi Tomiyama finished explaining, his experience as a mentor made him subconsciously ask, "Eri, now that you understand, could you give me a brief explanation? Consider it a small summary."

"ah?"

Erii looked on in surprise, then turned to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye naturally knew what his girlfriend's look meant; she was obviously asking him for help. However, Lin Ye was busy looking at other scenery and didn't hear what Masashi Tomiyama said at all.

"Professor Masafumi Tomiyama, I think we can move on to the next location," Lin Ye coughed a few times, reminding him.

The latter immediately came to his senses.

He realized he was now acting as a teacher here. He understood Lin Ye's attitude and quickly replied, "Okay, okay, now I'll take you to see the garden."

Masashi Toyama points ahead.

Across the way is the Versailles Gardens, in the very center of which is a unicorn sculpture, seemingly made of crystal, gleaming brilliantly in the sunlight. A fountain, like a waterfall, sprays directly from the unicorn's mouth. As the sunlight shines through, rainbows unfold, creating a truly dreamlike scene.

"Lin Ye, look quickly! That unicorn can actually spit water from its mouth!"

Erii curiously pulled Lin Ye's hand over to watch, and even reached out to feel the coolness of the fountain. Erii's palms moved among the rainbows, and it really felt like she was touching the rainbows.

The dazzling light shone on Erii's angelic face, making her look exceptionally beautiful at that moment. A gentle breeze blew, and the girl's silvery laughter echoed. Even the surrounding flowers and plants seemed to become languid.

"It seems Erii really likes this place."

Masashi Tomiyama approached Hayashi Yoru and couldn't help but smile as he spoke.

Nothing could better demonstrate Erii's immense approval of Kassel than the girl's joyful laughter; it was clear that Erii liked it here, that much was beyond doubt.

Hearing Masashi Tomiyama's words, Lin Ye nodded. Seeing Erii so happy made him feel incredibly gratified, because happiness is something that money can hardly buy.

Lin Ye couldn't help but think that perhaps there really was a magical spirit named Totoro who, upon hearing Erii's sincere call, cast a spell to grant her a wish, allowing her to have a beautiful and happy future.

Bang!

However, just as Lin Ye was feeling sentimental, a gunshot suddenly rang out in this extremely peaceful environment.

Someone shot!

And the bullets were still fired in his direction.

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up.

The bullet came flying with a brilliant trail of flame, but it didn't hit Lin Ye. Instead, it splashed a crimson spray into the spring water in front of the boy.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Ye did not move, because he had realized from the beginning that the shot was not aimed at his body, but merely at the pool of water in front of him.

provocative!

Lin Ye instantly recognized the shooter's action as extremely provocative.

He wasn't just looking ahead. On the roof of a building a few dozen meters away, a slender, graceful figure was lying there.

Although the other party only made this provocative shooting gesture, it startled Masashi Tomiyama on the other side, almost causing him to faint.

You have to understand that Lin Ye is a potential S-class talent recognized by the principal. In particular, the principal personally witnessed Lin Ye's powerful performance on the CC1000 train. Who would dare to make such a joke and open fire in Kassel?

Masashi Tomiyama immediately realized that today was Freedom Day, so the students of Kassel College were allowed to fire their guns. However, the bullets were all Frigga bullets, and the anesthetic inside them would quickly weaken or even knock the opponent unconscious.

Masashi Tomiyama also saw that the bullet did not hit Lin Ye, but only the pool of water in front of him.

Even so, Masashi Tomiyama was still in a cold sweat. After all, was Lin Ye someone who could be provoked so easily?

That guy was even more arrogant than Caesar.

Lin Ye is an S-rank, so if you make Lin Ye unhappy or leave a bad impression on him, then Masashi Tomiyama will be a sinner for all time.

Who on earth is courting death?!

Masashi Tomiyama was furious and quickly stepped forward to explain.

"Lin Ye, don't misunderstand. This is just a prank by the students at Kassel College. They didn't really intend to shoot you. You might not know, but today is Kassel College's Freedom Day. On this day..."

“Professor Masafumi Tomiyama, you don’t need to explain too much. I know everything, especially about the day of freedom in Kassel. Before I arrived at Kassel College, when I was in Japan, Director Genji had already told me about it many times.”

Freedom Day is a rare feast for students at Kassel College. On this day, students form various factions and fight each other using anesthetic bullets called Frigga, until a winner emerges. The winner receives certain privileges and rewards, but more importantly, they receive glory—a glory recognized by all the students in the college.

Lin Ye interrupted Masashi Tomiyama's explanation first, because he felt there was no need to continue explaining, as he already knew the rule.

"Ah, so Lin Ye knows too. Then it shouldn't be a big problem. But Lin Ye, I still need to explain to you about the student who just fired the shot..."

"Instructor Masashi Tomiyama, there's really no need to explain. I know they just want to see my S-rank title. Although I find it a bit boring, if this is the only way to shut them up, then I think it's necessary."

"Mr. Masashi Tomiyama, if I choose to join the fight right now, it should be alright, right? Although I haven't completely completed the formalities a freshman should have."

Lin Ye said calmly.

Especially the last sentence about wanting to join the war, although it was asked of Masashi Tomiyama, sounded more like an affirmation of his own statement, and all he was waiting for was a yes from Masashi Tomiyama.

"Of course you can, Lin Ye. Actually, when you stepped onto the CC1000 train, you became a formal student of Kassel College. You also gained the recognition of the entire Kassel. Of course you can participate in the battle on this free day."

However, Lin Ye, many students have already formed factions during this day of freedom. For example, the two most powerful forces in Kassel, the Lionheart Society and the Student Council, have been vying for power throughout this day of freedom. So, if you were to join the fight, which side would you choose?

Masashi Tomiyama asked instinctively.

In his mind, Lin Ye couldn't possibly join the battle without any identity. If he did, Lin Ye would have to face attacks from two major gangs, even if they were S-rank. If he acted recklessly, he might end up losing. So, Masashi Tomiyama reminded Lin Ye to think it over before making a decision.

Moreover, this decision is of paramount importance, because joining either the Lionheart Society or the Student Council could completely change the future strength of the two major clubs. After all, the addition of an S-level member is a heavyweight move, so at this moment, the teachers and students of the academy are all paying attention.

"Mr. Masashi Tomiyama, you may not understand what I mean. What I want to say is that I want to participate directly in the war without getting involved with either side. If I participate in the war in this way, it means that I will challenge the two major clubs. That was my original intention. After all, there can only be one winner. I will not represent the other clubs, and I have no interest in joining the other clubs, including the so-called executive department. I made this clear on the CC1000 train, so you should know that."

Lin Ye couldn't help but chuckle.

However, this laughter sent a chill down Masashi Toyama's spine.

Although Lin Ye initially only wanted to join the battle, seemingly drawn by the burning passion of the war, Masashi Tomiyama realized at this moment that Lin Ye was definitely angry, and because he had been provoked, he was about to explode.

This boy will fight alone.

"Ah, oh, I see. So Lin Ye has such ambition. Well then, joining the battle as a lone wolf is entirely possible, although the process might be a bit difficult, in case..."

Masashi Tomiyama was about to continue persuading Hayashi, but he shut his mouth the next moment.

Because Lin Ye wasn't listening to him at all, and instead went straight to Erii.

Erii's face was also somewhat cold at this moment.

Just moments before, she had also witnessed someone provoking Lin Ye. Erii had initially thought this was a very warm and welcoming place, and she felt she would create wonderful memories here. However, she never expected that as soon as she entered the castle, someone would try to attack them.

"Eri, don't be angry. They're just playing a game. Besides, the bullets they're shooting aren't real bullets; they're more like anesthetics. Everyone's just messing around."

"But……"

Erii wrote something in her notebook with a troubled expression, seemingly still unhappy.

Lin Ye continued to comfort her.

"Eri, don't worry. Even if we're just playing a game, I won't let them off easily. I'll make them taste my fist in a bit, and I'll smash it right in their noses. They'll all get nosebleeds. Erii, cheer me on then!"

Lin Ye pretended to be fierce and even raised his fist.

Erii couldn't help but laugh when she saw it. Her original depressed mood gradually dissipated because she knew that Lin Ye always kept his word. If he said he would punch those people in the nose, then those people's noses would definitely be in jeopardy.

"Alright, alright, Lin Ye, give them a good beating then! Who told them to bully Lin Ye? Humph!"

Erii wrote in her notebook with a resentful look on her face, while also cheering on Lin Ye.

"Yes, Erii, wait for my good news."

Lin Ye patted Erii's head one last time, then turned and left.

However, as she passed by Masashi Tomiyama, she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Masashi Tomiyama, please keep an eye on Erii for me. I'll be right back."

"You'll be right back?"

Upon hearing the last four words, Masashi Tomiyama's lips twitched involuntarily. Anyone who didn't know better would think this was just child's play.

Although Lin Ye is an S-rank, the Lionheart Society and student council members who participated in the Freedom Day were all elites, and they would all be able to enter the Executive Department as specialists in the future. When Lin Ye and Erii arrived at the Kassel platform, none of these elite specialists left. They stayed in the academy and fought against the enemy.

Now that Lin Ye has arrived, these people can no longer hold back. After all, they are all elites, and they naturally want to see Lin Ye's so-called S-level strength.

"Okay, Lin Ye, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on Erii. You do your best too."

Masashi Toyama nodded repeatedly.

Watching Lin Ye's departing figure, the middle-aged teacher felt a sudden pang of unease for some reason.

He originally thought that Lin Ye's battle with the two major gangs would be at most a 50/50 chance, but now he felt that the elite members of the two gangs were likely to suffer next.

Perhaps even Caesar and Chu Zihang will get beaten up.

Just as Lin Ye left, Masashi Tomiyama saw with his own eyes that the boy's smile was extremely bright.

Masashi Tomiyama had also seen Lin Ye display this smile on the train, when he faced the ancient alchemical sword, which had ultimately been tamed by Lin Ye and made obedient.

At this moment, Masashi Tomiyama couldn't help but pray for the participating trainees, hoping that Lin Ye wouldn't beat them too badly.

新年 快乐

Happy New Year everyone! And I'm going to be taking a break today...

Chapter 170 Erii is unhappy, Lin Ye will get angry, and then want to hit someone.

Freedom Day has always been a traditional holiday at Kassel College.

On this day, the students at Kassel College would have a celebration, because on this day they could disregard most of the rules, such as not being allowed to fight or use firearms on campus, and could do almost anything they liked.

The most anticipated event is the clash between the two top student organizations, the Student Union and the Lionheart Club.

On this day, the two major clubs will each occupy a piece of land in the academy, using it as a fortress or stronghold. Once either side's stronghold is breached by the other, it signifies the other side's defeat in this event, and the victor will also receive a generous reward.

However, for these two organizations, the rewards are secondary; the most important thing is influence.

Because every freshman entering Kassel College will know about the two major clubs in the college, the Lionheart Club and the Student Union, from other tutors or senior students, any freshman will subconsciously choose the strongest one when joining a college club.
