Dragon Clan gacha, start as the top player in Takamagahara

Before the vice principal could reply, Angers hung up the phone.

The vice principal stared at the black screen of the phone and cursed, "You old bastard, be careful I fail to activate that alchemy matrix, or we'll all be finished."

"Damn it! I knew you had me cornered, you old bastard."

The vice principal cursed again, pulled up his pants, and then charged towards the bottom of the ice cellar once more.

However, at this moment, they were in another passage of the ice cellar.

Two girls with long red hair were walking in the passageway, one of whom was none other than Nono, who was wearing combat gear.

At this moment, Nono looked trembling with fear, and in front of her was Erii, a girl wearing a white off-shoulder taffeta dress.

"Principal Angers, is there really no other way?"

Inside the two-story building, Mans spoke in a deep voice to the old man standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking at the gradually collapsing Kassel College, they also saw the terrifying black sun that Lin Ye was about to unleash. When this pitch-black giant sun finally crashed down, it would be the end of the entire Kassel College.

Mans had no time to guess Lin Ye's so-called true identity. Whether he was the Dragon King or something else, the energy released by this boy was full of great destructiveness. He only wanted to preserve Kassel College and prevent any harm to the teachers and students, or at least minimize casualties as much as possible.

Although it may seem like wishful thinking, at this moment Mans truly longed for it.

Angers narrowed his aged eyes and looked up at Lin Ye high in the sky. He could already sense the boy's determination.

"If we're talking about solutions, we might have had a chance ten minutes ago."

"What opportunity!" Mans asked instinctively.

"Just ten minutes ago, when our classmate Lin Ye had just taken off and hadn't fully unleashed his power, our Equipment Department Minister, Mr. Akadula, called me. He said he had predicted the terrifying attack Lin Ye was about to unleash, which would be utterly devastating. Therefore, he and the entire Equipment Department urgently devised a plan, the most specific of which was to launch their newly developed small alchemical nuclear bomb."

Then they would unleash a barrage of fire at Lin Ye high in the sky. Once the attack was launched, Lin Ye would most likely be shot down from the sky. And the chances were very high, about 60%.

It might even be possible to preserve most of Kassel College, however, because this alchemical nuclear bomb is filled with a high concentration of mercury vapor, there is a high possibility that some of the faculty and students of Kassel College would be injured or killed upon detonation.

Mans frowned, as if he was thinking and weighing something.

After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Principal Angers, you should have agreed then, but you missed the best opportunity."

Mans directly told Angers that his approach was wrong, even though the person in front of him was the principal of Kassel College, while he was just a professor. The difference in their levels was not small. In fact, Mans had always held Angers in awe, feeling that this old man had always stood on the front line of the dragon-slaying battlefield and was even willing to give his life for it.

Mans knew all too well that behind the resounding title of this so-called legendary dragon-slaying educator lay decades of unwavering dedication. Without Angers' contributions, Kassel College would never have achieved its current prosperity. In fact, the board members tried every means to impeach Angers, almost every year, but each time they failed.

Because Angers is at Kassel College, his appointment as the college's principal is a popular choice and cannot be overthrown. Although the seven board members of Kassel College are all highly powerful and possess immense wealth and influence, none of them are qualified to serve as the college's principal.

Because this academy needs a true soul, and this soul must be fiery, passionate, decisive in killing dragons, and possess everything that is either positive or evil.

There was no one more suitable than Angers, in fact, he was perfect. In the hearts of all the teachers and students of the entire Kassel College, they all felt that Angers should be the principal of the college, and had always been the principal of the college. No one could overturn this.

They even thought that if Kassel College were to truly perish at this point, as long as Principal Angers were still alive, a new Kassel College could be rebuilt in the future. It would simply be rebuilding one. However, even if Kassel College still existed, if Principal Angers were to die, then the college would lose its true soul, and Kassel College would cease to exist.

Even if this Gothic architecture still exists and remains as magnificent as a castle, it is merely a castle now, not a dragon-slaying academy, much less a force capable of becoming a mainstay in future dragon invasions.

It is believed that no one in the entire Kassel College would dare to refute any of Angers' mistakes, because in their minds, Angers could not possibly be wrong.

Because of the tragedy of bloodshed, they were abandoned by the world. It was Angers who gave them a home. No matter what Angers did, it was all for their own good.

But at this moment, Mans strongly refuted Angers. He felt that just ten minutes ago, Angers could have agreed to Akadura's proposal. After all, it was the last chance. Although some of the teachers and students of the entire Kassel College would be killed or injured, it would be better than total annihilation.

As long as seeds can be preserved, as long as Angers still exists, and the World Tree can still shine brightly in the future, the glory of Kassel will shine on the world again, instead of being completely extinguished.

Angers remained noncommittal. "Yes, Professor Mans, you're right. I should have agreed earlier, even though Minister Akadura, on behalf of all the members of the Armaments Department, made a request that I arrange for them to be placed on my Gulfstream private jet, the Sleibnier, so that they could leave on the private jet just before the alchemical nuclear bomb explodes."

But I told them directly that my pilot was on leave due to illness, so the Sleibnir couldn't start. Then those cowardly scoundrels immediately changed their tune, saying their alchemical core technology was far from mature, and if they recklessly went for it, it might self-destruct before even taking off. They even said that if General Lin Ye were to be shot down, Kassel College would be destroyed first.

Angers took a sip of brandy, his tone full of regret.

After hearing the whole story, Mans couldn't help but twitch his lips. Hearing that the Equipment Department had made such a request, even though he knew these guys were usually cowardly, he had completely underestimated their bottom line.

But at the same time, Mans was also extremely conflicted. After a moment of silence, he looked up at Angers and said, "Headmaster, I have a question for you from the bottom of my heart. Did your personal pilot really take leave for that Sleibnir private jet? Or is it that you never wanted that alchemical nuclear bomb to attack Lin Ye in the first place?"

Mans knew that as a subordinate, he shouldn't ask, but he had no choice but to.

Even if Angers pulled out a folding knife and stabbed him to death right now, Mans would still have to speak out.

Angers remained silent for a long time at that moment.

“Professor Mans, as I said before, we cannot directly oppose Lin Ye unless absolutely necessary. This boy is too young and too terrifying, possessing unimaginable potential. We need to reach a reconciliation with this boy, rather than going to great lengths to kill him.”

We need his power to exert great combat strength in the future dragon-slaying war, and to stand in front of all of us, not on the opposite side. I hope you understand this, although it is really difficult to achieve this understanding.

But this is our battle to slay the dragon. If I had a choice, I could face the Dragon King without any scruples. I could even leave by plane with those scoundrels from the Equipment Department. But I cannot retreat. The enemy we face is an existence beyond your imagination.

Do you really think Lin Ye is cruel? If it were a real dragon, we would have died ten minutes ago, and Kassel College would have been destroyed as a result. But this boy, despite his frantic anxiety, still gave us ten minutes until he almost lost his patience.

Dragons are incapable of patience; they are bloodthirsty monsters at heart. But Lin Ye is different. This boy is human and will always stand by our side.

I know the mistake has been made, but I will not back down. If Kassel College is truly destined to perish, I will be the first to die.

Mans let out a long sigh, "Principal Angers, at this moment I truly understand your determination to slay the dragon."

Angers didn't say anything, but instead downed the brandy in his glass in one gulp.

……

At this moment, in a passage at the bottom of the ice cellar, two girls are walking through the passage.

Because of the constant vibrations coming from above, the entire ice cellar passage was now filled with cracks and tremors, so they stumbled and staggered as they walked.

Nono patted the watch on her wrist. It was an electronic watch that could communicate with external surveillance. Nono originally wanted to see what had happened.

Yes, until now, Nono has no idea what's going on outside or what's causing the tremors here. She even wonders if those bomb fanatics in the Equipment Department are testing some new weapon and that caused the accidental explosion.

Or perhaps a sudden and terrible earthquake caused this violent fluctuation; otherwise, how could cracks appear in the entire ice cellar passage?

Nono had the privilege of walking through this passage with her mentors before. At that time, her mentors introduced that the passage was made of a kind of tough granite, and even reinforced with titanium by those scoundrels in the equipment department. It could be said that even a real magnitude 10 earthquake could not tear it apart.

However, at this moment, these cracks spread like a spider web, reaching all the way to the end of the line of sight, giving people no chance to react at all.

It felt as if a giant's fist was pounding down on the ice cellar from above, causing violent tremors and collapses. Nono nearly got hit by falling rocks several times, and she couldn't help but curse the damned equipment department. Everything they created either exploded or exploded accidentally; in short, everything was on its way to exploding.

She wasn't paying much attention to these technological products, and she didn't know the specific reason why Nono's electronic watch was completely black and couldn't connect to the outside world at all. She remembered that Minister Akadullah had assured her that this kind of electronic watch would not have its signal affected even in the event of a violent earthquake.

Nono is now almost blind; she has no idea what is happening in the outside world.

Meanwhile, the girl named Erii was still searching for something, wandering aimlessly through the passage.

The reason why Nono encountered Erii, which I am very ashamed to admit, is because when Lin Ye was beating up Caesar and the others in Odin Square, Nono saw that Caesar was about to collapse, which was obviously the time for her to run away.

Although Caesar was no match for his opponent, no matter how fierce Lin Ye was, he couldn't possibly kill Caesar with a single punch. The point was to have a friendly spar, so Nono thought that as long as Caesar didn't die, there wouldn't be a big problem. So she took the opportunity to slip away.

Moreover, Nono was very cunning, always looking for places where no one was around to run. But as she ran, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure, or rather, a figure that surprised her greatly. This figure was none other than Erii.

The girl seemed to be influenced by some kind of voice, walking forward continuously, searching for something. Nono's sixth sense told her that something seemed wrong, so she followed Erii to see what the girl was up to.

After all, this is Kassel College, and Erii and Lin Ye are new students who are visiting Kassel for the first time. How could they possibly be looking for something? Or do they have other purposes? So Nono followed behind Erii, waiting for an opportunity.

As they walked, Nono suddenly realized that they had unknowingly ventured deep into the ice cellar. She didn't even know how they had gotten there. Especially after entering, a terrifying tremor came from above. Even dozens of meters underground, she could feel the terrifying roar, as if an extremely furious monster was roaring above the Kassel College, venting its deep rage.

Nono didn't know what it was, but she had a feeling it must be something extremely terrifying. She wanted to use the surveillance video on her smartwatch to see what had happened as soon as possible, but unfortunately, the smartwatch screen went black, and no matter how much she tapped it, it didn't work.

She wanted to smash the watch, but considering the possibility of the screen breaking, she held back for the time being.

Nono even wanted to go back up to the top of the ice cellar to take a look, but when she saw Erii continue to go deeper, especially when the tremors became more and more violent and large chunks of rock fell down, Nono was worried that Erii would be hit by these rocks, so she gritted her teeth and chose to follow behind Erii.

They didn't know how much time had passed, but the tremors above grew stronger and stronger. Even as they went deeper and deeper into the bottom of the ice cellar, the symptoms did not lessen at all. Nono was afraid that the cellar would collapse, or they would be completely finished.

What's even stranger is that Erii passed through the heavily guarded ice cellar without encountering any obstacles.

You should know that when Instructor Nono led them into the bottom of the ice cellar, they were only allowed to enter with a black card. Otherwise, the weapons hidden in these passages would have been enough to kill any A-rank hybrid who dared to trespass. But now, none of these weapons have been activated, as if Erii is a princess who has entered her own castle.

When Erii stopped at a fork in the road, Nono could no longer hold back. She went up to Erii and mustered up her courage to ask the girl a question.

"Have you lost something? Do you want me to help you look for it?"

The tremors grew stronger and stronger. Nono felt that this place was too dangerous and could collapse at any moment. She should go to a safer place. She didn't know how to address Erii, so she asked her in a gentle tone.

Erii looked at Nono with a blank expression and said in a low voice, "I'm looking for Totoro. He's calling me and says he can grant all my wishes."

Nono was stunned. "Totoro? What Totoro?!"

A series of huffing and puffing sounds came from the passageway of the ice cellar.

An extremely obese figure was trudging through the ice cellar corridor with great difficulty. He was clearly very tired. He had to stop every now and then, put his hands on his knees, bend over, and catch his breath. He would then grit his teeth and continue forward, leaving a trail of cold sweat behind him.

The other party was Leonardo, the vice principal of Kassel College. He didn't have much time left. Although he was panting and could run out of breath at any moment, he still couldn't stop.

At this moment, the vice principal felt extremely regretful. Why did he eat so much junk food? Why did he drink so much alcohol every day? Why did he just lie on the sofa and do nothing after eating and drinking instead of exercising? Why was Angers, this old guy, so elegant and in such good shape, when everyone was almost the same age? All those young girls and women wished they could crush themselves and squeeze into Angers' arms.

Then look at the vice principal himself. Not to mention women would shake their heads at him, even dogs would shake their heads. He might secretly curse himself as a fatso. The difference between people can be so great.

However, thanks to the vice principal's persistent efforts, they finally reached the bottom of the ice cellar. Normally, only Angers and the vice principal have this authority to enter the entire Kassel College. In addition, the seven members of the Kassel Board of Trustees also have the right to enter.

A cold, icy light shone down, faintly illuminating the vast, dark space. The vice-principal had finally arrived. Scattered in the enormous space before him were various alchemical artifacts: swords, a dark gold music box, and even an ancient, weathered bronze mask. On another iron rack lay a mummy, clearly many years old, its bandages now greasy and sticky. It looked just like one of those terrifying nurses from Shutter Island.

Perhaps because of the violent tremors coming from the ice cellar, the mummy bound to the iron frame twisted its waist.

Could it be that being single for too long has made even a mummy seem handsome, and even... himself...

The vice principal shook his head, clearing his mind of those unrealistic fantasies.

The alchemical artifacts in front of us are divided into specific categories, but due to the violent tremors, large chunks of rock fell down, causing damage to many of the artifacts. In particular, one rock directly hit a two-meter-tall pipe organ, whose interior is based on a small alchemical matrix and can even play Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 on its own.

At that moment, a huge rock crashed down on it, and a stirring melody suddenly rang out, as if thousands of death gods were roaring and howling in defiance of fate, even though they had already fallen into hell, they still had to climb back up no matter what.

"What the hell are you yelling for! I still want to fight against fate!"

The vice principal was so startled that he jumped up and down on the keys of the organ. He pressed the keys rapidly, but the organ kept playing louder and louder. His hands went numb from the vibrations.

"Whatever, let them scream if they want. Scream as loud as they can, consider it my farewell background music. Charge!"

The vice principal twisted his waist a couple of times, tightened his belt, and rushed forward.

The vice principal's target was not here, but deeper into this cave, also known as the Well of Oblivion, where the almost abandoned alchemical matrix slumbered.

Time was running out, and there was no time to waste. The vice-principal sprinted forward, running all the way to the huge cavern 50 meters away, which was also the end of the cavern. The road ahead seemed to be abruptly cut off, with a huge abyss blocking the way. However, it was not an abyss, but an even deeper cavern.

There was an elevator and a long, narrow ladder leading to the bottom of the cave. The vice principal chose the ladder, even though climbing down would be very tiring, taking the elevator would be risking his life.

The shaking was intensifying. If he were to get stuck in the elevator or fall into the cave, the vice-principal might only have time left to pray. Even if he didn't fall, just being stuck in the middle would be enough to drive him to despair. At this moment, going down the ladder was the wisest choice.
