If either of these two clubs wins the Freedom Day and becomes the victor, then it will inevitably be able to attract more new members in the future. In this way, a club can have a constant influx of fresh blood, thus ensuring its continued strength. With the ebb and flow of the other, the club will become stronger and stronger.
Conversely, because the other club cannot attract new members for many years, it will inevitably gradually weaken and eventually decline. Therefore, both clubs want to win the title of victor on Freedom Day.
The most established society is the Lionheart Society, which has a rich history at Kassel College. Its predecessor was the vanguard of the Camarilla. In the past, when dragon-slaying techniques were not as advanced, members of the Lionheart Society would drive carriages and carry old hunting rifles or longswords to slay dragons. It is conceivable that it must have been a difficult and passionate era, with various acts of fervor and tragic sacrifices composing an extremely stirring melody.
Although the Lionheart Society has declined somewhat in recent years, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. Similarly, even though the Lionheart Society is now somewhat weakened, it still retains the ruthless and cold-blooded character of the former Dragon Slayer Secret Party's vanguard. Every member of the Lionheart Society is a battle-hardened dragon slayer with powerful bloodlines.
Although the Student Union is not as old as the Lionheart Society, it is the largest student organization in Kassel College in terms of its current size. This is largely due to a student named Kaiser, who led the Student Union to grow stronger and now has the potential to replace the Lionheart Society.
As for Caesar's reputation, although he was only a student for less than two years, his name was already widely known. Even before he became a student at Kassel College, he was already admired by many scions of mixed-race families, because Caesar came from the Gattuso family and was also the sole heir of the family.
The Gattuso family, to which Caesar belongs, is an extremely powerful family. Whether it is the wealth they possess or the technological means they have, they are far ahead of those of the world's developed countries. At the same time, the Gattuso family is also the most powerful board of directors in Kassel College. Even now, the acting patriarch of the Gattuso family, Frost, is able to be considered an equal to Angers.
Although Angers himself didn't feel this way and didn't even take the other party seriously, being compared to Angers was, to some extent, an unparalleled honor.
For Caesar, the future held the destiny of inheriting the entire Gattuso family, provided he successfully graduated. It was also due to Caesar's exceptional abilities that he was able to grow the student council to such an extent in such a short time, even rivaling the long-established Lionheart Society, and in recent years showing a trend of overwhelming it.
The elders of the Gattuso family also eagerly anticipated that Caesar, this exceptionally talented heir, would lead the Gattuso family to a brilliant future.
In short, regardless of the circumstances, the strength of the elites in both the Lionheart Society and the Student Council is undeniable. They are the strongest among the strongest in Kassel College, and any one of them would be an absolute A-level. Now, in the showdown during the Free Day, one can imagine how intense and exciting the clash will be.
In the past, on the day before Freedom Day began, a betting pool would be set up on the Kassel Watchers' forum to bet on which of the two societies would win and who would ultimately wear the crown of freedom. In fact, the bettors were not only students from Kassel, but also some mentors and professors.
On the eve of Freedom Day, both the Lionheart Society and the Student Council would conduct preliminary preparations, ensuring that they and their entire organizations were at peak condition when the battle began. Members of both the Lionheart Society and the Student Council would prepare various weapons, but these weapons would not use live ammunition; instead, they would use Frigga's tranquilizer darts. Even some heavy weapons, such as small tactical nuclear bombs—though called nuclear bombs—were actually filled with Frigga's tranquilizer.
However, once this small nuclear bomb is detonated, the anesthetic effect and range are so great that even an A-level hybrid would be instantly anesthetized and fall into a coma if they were in the midst of it. All of these measures are intended to determine the final victor in the final battle.
Aside from the strong dependency effect brought by the winner's club, the most direct reward is a year's use of the Norton Hall, which also includes a spot in the finals of the Kassel College Star of the Year competition. There's even a special reward: the winner can pursue the girl they've always had a crush on at Kassel College, and she can't refuse for three months, while she must also maintain a normal romantic relationship with the girl for the same three months.
Lin Ye couldn't help but feel a little emotional. In the original Dragon Raja novel, when he saw the scenes described in the novel about freedom, he felt quite excited. However, when it was actually his turn, he found it rather boring.
Perhaps his mindset has changed. In Japan, he gained great strength time and time again. With his current strength, when he truly unleashes his full power, he could reach the level of a third-generation monster. So with his powerful combat strength, how could he still look down on this childish game?
However, despite his disdain, what left Lin Ye speechless was why they had to provoke him. Since it was a showdown between the Lionheart Society and the Student Council, why drag an outsider like him into it?
This made Lin Ye very unhappy.
The reason he was upset was primarily because he had been provoked.
The second reason is that those people's behavior made Erii unhappy, and when Erii is unhappy, Lin Ye gets angry, and when he gets angry, he wants to hit people.
After all, Erii had always hoped that Totoro's wish-fulfilling magic had come true, and that Totoro had always cared for her. This made Erii even happier and more excited about the future. However, before this expectation could fully unfold, she was shot at. Even though the other party did not use real bullets or shoot directly at Lin Ye, a provocation is a provocation. And the premise of a provocation is naturally that they are unhappy with their arrival. Otherwise, why would they shoot bullets at them?
Therefore, Lin Ye knew at this moment that he had to take action. He felt that if he didn't, Erii might become extremely unhappy with those people, and the girl might even take action herself. It was better for him to handle it himself. Moreover, in the process of handling the situation, Lin Ye had to be decisive and ruthless. This was not only for Erii's sake, but also because Lin Ye felt it was absolutely necessary to do so.
Only by making these people suffer will they behave themselves and dare not make such small moves against him and Erii in the future. After all, the buzzing of flies in his ears, though not deadly, is still annoying.
Lin Ye stood in Odin Square. A few dozen meters away stood an ancient church with white doves taking off and landing on its roof. Just now, when the gunshot rang out, the white doves were startled away, but they quickly flew back.
Both sides of the road were lined with red maple trees. At this moment, the wind blew and many maple leaves fell, making the long bluestone road look like a red carpet.
From the square to the church, a distance of tens or even hundreds of meters, Lin Ye, through his keen senses, knew that many students were lurking in the red maple forest on both sides.
Although they were well hidden, Lin Ye still managed to spot them through the gaps in the maple leaves. He could even see the combat uniforms worn by the fighters on either side of the red maple leaves. One side was dark red, and the other side was black. This was also the exclusive equipment representing the student council and Lionheart Society members.
Lin Ye raised an eyebrow as he watched this scene.
He felt that if things had gone according to plan, the battle would have been a showdown between the Lionheart Society and the Student Council, with the two sides fighting across Odin Square. However, he did not expect that with Lin Ye's arrival, these originally opposing members would stare at Lin Ye with great tacit understanding, and even turn their guns towards him.
From the gaps in the red maple leaves, one could see dark gun barrels peeking out.
According to the current plan, these people now have a common enemy, and that enemy is Lin Ye.
Both the Lionheart Society and the Student Council members knew that Lin Ye, who was about to arrive, had the potential to be an S-rank, a potential that was also recognized by Principal Angers. Therefore, they would not underestimate him, since they trusted Principal Angers. However, the reason they were targeting him was because they were all elites. So what if he was an S-rank? Did they not even have the courage to fight him?
Not only that, they even wondered if Lin Ye really had the potential to achieve an S-level breakthrough. Potential is potential, but it's not absolute strength. Or rather, was Lin Ye really that strong? Why hadn't they heard anything about this boy before? Despite Principal Angers' strong recommendation, it all came too suddenly. So deep down, they still wanted to test Lin Ye's strength to see if he truly had the potential to achieve an S-level breakthrough, or if it was just empty boasting.
Of course, Lin Ye's strength is certainly not low. To simply regard him as a pretty face is not only looking down on Lin Ye, but also insulting one's own intelligence.
There was also a thought that the members of the two major clubs present did not voice.
That was when Lin Ye truly stepped into the square. Although the boy did not unleash his full power, nor even release his aura, at that moment, his seemingly frail figure became the focus of the entire scene. It seemed that this boy was destined to become the center of this world, making it impossible for anyone to look away.
Not only that, the boy's casual glances felt more like the sharp edge of a blade, sending chills down their spines. So, they instinctively pointed their guns at Lin Ye. The two gangs simultaneously turned their guns on Lin Ye at that moment. This so-called tacit understanding actually stemmed from their feelings towards Lin Ye.
They felt the boy was somewhat dangerous.
As elites of the organization, some members were even specialists in the executive department, and they had experienced many missions. However, when facing Lin Ye, they still felt a strong sense of unease. Although they were hiding in the maple forest and thought they were well-prepared, they knew they had been exposed when Lin Ye's gaze casually swept over them.
Moreover, the boy is about to erupt, and if no action is taken at this time, they are likely to lose miserably. This feeling is not inexplicable, but rather a subconscious judgment based on their rich experience.
So when Lin Ye actually stepped into the square, as the red leaves fell, these people pulled the trigger at the same moment.
Boom boom boom!
In an instant, a barrage of crimson bullets rained down like a storm. These bullets contained a strong impact force, instantly shattering the maple leaves in the sky, and then shooting towards Lin Ye's direction.
This wave of projectiles was extremely fierce. The relatively large red maple leaf was shattered into pieces in this instant, and it was as if a red blizzard was falling between heaven and earth, with streaks of crimson bullets in the snow.
Just as these barrages had surrounded Lin Ye and were about to attack the boy...
Everyone was stunned.
Because Lin Ye's figure suddenly disappeared at this moment, the fierce Frigga bullets hit the tree branches, and the crimson mist dissipated.
Everyone present tensed up, especially the comrades in the maple forest, who had a strong premonition that disaster was about to befall them.
Immediately following, painful howls and muffled thuds of blood gushing from the nose echoed from the depths of the maple forest.

Lin Ye certainly couldn't possess teleportation abilities. The reason he could disappear into thin air the instant those bullets were fired was because he was too fast.
As the gunshot rang out, Lin Ye stomped his foot hard on the ground as well. With the explosive speed of Thunder Breathing, he became like a twisted and narrow stream of light. With the crimson bullets and maple leaves obscuring his vision, many people did not see where Lin Ye had disappeared to for a moment.
One of the student council members hid among the maple leaves in the tree, frantically scanning the surroundings through a sniper scope, trying to find Lin Ye, but found nothing.
"Excuse me, were you looking for me?"
The student council member tensed up and instinctively turned his head to look, only to find Lin Ye standing right beside him.
"Depend on!"
The sniper's face turned ashen with fear.
It should be noted that the maple tree he was on was extremely tall, about twenty meters above the ground, and his position was at the very front of the tree. It was difficult for him to climb up, but the high vantage point made it an excellent sniping spot, so he managed to climb up despite the difficulty.
But Lin Ye was able to arrive nearby without making a sound, and the boy even smiled at him very politely.
However, this member did not feel any warmth under Lin Ye's smile. Instead, he felt an indescribable chill in his heart. Without thinking, he pulled out a Beretta from his pocket and fired at Lin Ye at close range. The magazine was also full of Frigga bullets.
At such close range, the sniper rifle was no longer effective, so without thinking, he decisively drew his gun.
This member, a seasoned executive officer in the execution department, could sense that Lin Ye's seemingly polite smile concealed a surge of energy that would erupt at any moment. Therefore, this officer decided to strike first.
Moreover, he had extremely rich mission experience, and had even hunted down an out-of-control hybrid on his own. As an executive officer, that fighting instinct was almost ingrained in his bones. So even when faced with the sudden appearance of Lin Ye, despite being shocked, his hands did not slow down at all.
Moreover, this member has a very good mentality and is not cowardly at all. Let alone Lin Ye, who only has the potential of S-level, even if there is a so-called second-generation species in front of him, this member still dares to draw his gun and fire angrily, because this is his attitude, this is his... Ah!
Before the member could even vent his emotions, Lin Ye's fist slammed into his nose. The member immediately covered his nose, and tears streamed down his face.
All the iron-fisted decisiveness and unwavering mentality crumbled at this moment.
That was too ruthless, an S-rank attack! The blow was aimed directly at the nose, and the force was incredibly strong, causing immediate bleeding. The member felt an extremely sharp pain in his nose and couldn't bear the pain any longer, so he squatted on a tree branch and started sobbing.
"No way, that's it?"
Lin Ye was caught off guard and never expected that this student council member would start crying in front of him after being punched.
However, Lin Ye did not linger at all, because the moment he punched the commissioner in the nose, his figure was exposed to the other members' view and also fell into their attack range.
Upon hearing the member's cry of pain, the surrounding members launched their attacks, unleashing a barrage of bullets at the branch where he was standing. The surrounding red maple leaves were once again shattered, and the Frigga bullets also struck the thick branches, only to be instantly crushed, sending wisps of crimson mist drifting away.
The crying member was instantly numbed and knocked unconscious by the Frigga aura, his body slumped on the maple tree branches, looking at him like a piece of barbecue being grilled.
As Frigga's anesthetic mist spread, the surrounding area became a restricted zone. Anyone who ventured in or was nearby would inevitably be anesthetized and fall into a coma.
There are also many combatants nearby.
Seeing this, the surrounding gang members remained calm. They were also prepared and took out gas masks to put on their faces, so that they would not be affected by Frigga's tranquilizer bullets.
At the same time, no matter how fast Lin Ye's reaction speed is, he is helpless in the anesthetic fog created by Frigga. Even if the opponent's bloodline is really strong and he will not fall into a coma immediately, his strength will inevitably be weakened. In that case, as long as Lin Ye's speed can be reduced significantly, it will be the time for these members to truly counterattack.
Therefore, the members of these clubs were extremely excited. They felt that they must personally take down the S-rank, which would be an extremely glorious thing. At the same time, the goals of both the Lionheart Club members and the Student Council members changed. Whichever of these two clubs could capture Lin Ye would have a great impact on the reputation of their own club.
At that moment, Lin Ye also became their prey. They excitedly scanned their surroundings through the goggles on their gas masks, eager to find Lin Ye as soon as possible.
On one of the thickest branches, two Lionheart Society members stood back to back, remaining vigilant and keeping their weapons at bay. They scanned the possible directions Lin Ye might appear, ready to face their furious barrage of bullets the moment Lin Ye attacked.
Just as they were on high alert, a playful greeting suddenly came from above.
"Hello, I'm here."
Upon hearing Lin Ye's voice, the two men, almost without thinking, simultaneously raised their guns and fired upwards.
Because they knew that Lin Ye was definitely above them. Although they couldn't believe that this guy could jump above them without them noticing, it had already happened, and they didn't have time to think. Relying on their fighting instincts, they immediately raised their guns and fired at the top of their heads.
They were determined to catch Lin Ye off guard and let this show-off know that showing off comes at a price.
But what happened next horrified them.
Because Lin Ye reached out and grabbed their gun barrels, then twisted them sharply, causing the barrels to bend. With two loud bangs, the Frigga bullets exploded inside the barrels, spraying out crimson Frigga mist from the gaps in the barrels.
Holy crap, this actually works?!
The two Lionheart members were completely terrified.
It's important to understand that although their guns were loaded with Frigga bullets, the firearms they carried were genuine alchemical weapons crafted by the Equipment Department. These weapons were extremely tough; even a boulder hitting them might only scratch the outer paint. Yet, Lin Ye had bent them with his bare hands.
My God, what kind of monster is this? How could it be so terrifying?
Is this guy even human?! They'd believe it if you told them Lin Ye was a dragon!!!
If it were the power of the Bronze Throne, it would be understandable, since it's a powerful power that can directly enhance the physical body. But how could the Vice Principal release a power within the Vice Principal's domain in Kassel? Moreover, they could also sense that Lin Ye hadn't released any power; it was just pure physical strength. And this physical strength was so terrifying that it bent the barrels of the guns in their hands.
The two Lionheart members could even imagine that even if a charging rhinoceros were to try and charge at Lin Ye with all its might, this boy could stand still and kill the charging rhinoceros with a single punch. That was the shock it brought to them.
Amidst this shock, Lin Ye did not hesitate for a moment and threw another punch.
Through the goggles of their protective masks, the two could see the fist getting closer and closer until, with a loud bang, even through the protective masks, their noses were instantly smashed and blood flowed out, and their nasal bones were broken.
"Uuuuuuu..."
The two Lionheart members immediately covered their noses, squatted on the tree branches, and started crying, their fate looking very tragic.
"Holy crap, this S-rank is way too ruthless! They're hitting people right in the nose, who can withstand that!"
