Becoming a Shadow in the New World

Later, during a conversation with her senior, Sid, she discovered a problem.

According to Sid, most, if not all, of the students at Saikai School were there to establish a relationship similar to a marriage alliance, like that of a king and his consort; it was a semi-aristocratic school.

That's not a problem; elite schools exist everywhere. The question is, why does she want to attend this particular school?

She is a sword sorceress of the Lion King Organization, sent to monitor the Fourth Progenitor. Why was the school she was assigned to be a noble school?

Since it's for surveillance, shouldn't they have arranged for her to attend the same school as Akatsuki Kojou?

What does it mean to send her to a prestigious private school?

She had a bad feeling when she received the task, and after talking with her senior, the feeling intensified.

When you feel there's something wrong with something, you'll see something wrong no matter what you look at it.

She hadn't thought about it in detail before, but now, after being reminded by Senior Sid, a series of questions came to mind.

Why should a sword sorceress like her be assigned to monitor this? Shouldn't this task be given to Wu Weiyuan?

Asking a sword sorceress to monitor the Fourth Progenitor, especially since they don't even go to the same school, is it really her job to monitor him?

She had never done surveillance work before and didn't know anything about the surveillance industry, but she should at least be given some information about Akatsuki Kojo.

Her current understanding of Kojou Akatsuki comes entirely from the three Saints at the Lion King Organization. She only heard the three Saints say that Kojou Akatsuki concealed his identity in order to secretly control Itogami Island and build an army, but she knew nothing else.

The more I think about it, the more problems I feel. I sent her to monitor the Fourth Ancestor, but then I put her in a prestigious school without giving her any information. Her major is not relevant to her studies. It's suspicious, very suspicious.

Of course, these issues are no longer important now; what matters is whether we can defeat the other side.

"clang--"

Amidst a sea of ​​fire, a silver spear and a giant axe clashed in mid-air with a piercing sound, before separating after a brief stalemate.

"Please stop fighting. You have violated the Sanctuary Treaty and international treaties."

Gripping the "Demon-Slaying Holy Lance" tightly in her hand, Himeragi Yukina landed and stared intently at the opposing teacher, not daring to relax for a moment.

"Astarothie, take care of him."

Despite Himeragi Yukina's attempts to persuade him to surrender, the teacher ignored her and instead gave orders.

"The command is obeyed, begin execution, at the fingertips of Rose."

As the order to eliminate the teacher fell, a petite figure leaped out from the sea of ​​fire behind Himeragi Yukina. Magic surged from her body, and a massive white arm materialized, breaking through her coat and hurtling towards Himeragi Yukina.

"clang--"

Hearing the wind, Yukina Himeragi turned around to block in time... but she couldn't. The clash between the Snow Wolf and the giant arm ended with the Snow Wolf collapsing instantly, while the giant arm sent Yukina Himeragi flying, crashing into the wall behind her.

Under the sneak attack and the overwhelming power of magic, even with the Demon-Slaying Holy Lance, a single blow left Himeragi Yukina in a state of uncertainty about her fate.

Cracks spread across the ground as Yukina Himeragi fell, kicking up clouds of dust.

The teacher didn't focus his gaze on Yukina Himeragi, but instead looked at the giant arm formed by Astarothie's magic.

The part of the giant arm that had just touched the silver spear was much lighter in color than the rest of the arm, and a large amount of magic was flowing out of Astaroth to fill that part.

"Could that gun be the Type 7 Assault Demon-Slaying Gun? It's a secret weapon of the Lion King Organization, imprinted with the Divine Wave Vibration Wave Drive Technique! I never expected to see it here!"

The teacher's gaze fell to the spot where Himeragi Yukina had just fallen, and the monocle on his face flashed red.

As the smoke cleared, Himeragi Yukina was seen standing there in a disheveled state, with Yukishou stuck in the ground. She leaned against Yukishou as she stood up.

"Did you survive with this gun? Whatever, Astarothie, continue."

"Command accepted!"

A figure rushed in front of Himeragi Yukina in just a few seconds, causing Himeragi Yukina to instinctively draw her gun to block it, but she was already at her limit and could not defend herself.

Himeragi Yukina was sent flying again, but how will she get up this time?

He lay on the ground, almost losing consciousness, but his hand was still tightly gripping the Snow Wolf.

Just before Himeragi Yukina lost consciousness, she heard only the sound of footsteps slowly approaching from the opposite side, and...

"The world is already covered by spider webs, yet you choose to kill each other. I really want to see if you can break free of your cocoons."

A deep, magnetic voice and a figure dressed in black were seen.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Discovered Conspiracy

Astaroth stood in front of Himeragi Yukina, her empty eyes looking at the unconscious Himeragi Yukina lying on the ground, a hint of pity flashing in her eyes.

However, she still manipulated the magic within her body, activating the fingertips of the rose to form a giant white arm around her body and swung it down at Yukina Himeragi.

Just as the giant white arm was about to strike Yukina Himeragi, a black figure appeared in front of her.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, one of the giant white arms was blocked.

It was a hand that didn't exude any magic, was unremarkable, and even looked somewhat thin under the black coat.

But it was this one hand that blocked the white giant wrist that could theoretically shatter a boulder with ease.

Seeing this scene, even the emotionally detached Astarothie couldn't help but have her pupils twitch slightly, let alone the teacher Rudolf behind her.

Before any order could be given, the black figure chuckled and gently moved the hand that was blocking the white giant arm. It was as if the hand hadn't used much force, yet Astarothie's figure was sent flying backward at a speed that the naked eye couldn't follow, crashing heavily behind Rudolf.

"The world is already completely covered by spider webs, yet you choose to kill each other. I really hope you can break free of your cocoons!"

As Astarothie landed, what followed was this sentence that left Rudolf completely baffled.

But at this moment, Rudolf had no time to think about the meaning of those words. He stared wide-eyed at the black figure in front of him and swallowed nervously.

"Darkness, shadows."

His trembling voice was filled with unease, which was normal, because standing in front of him was the first and currently only global terrorist jointly wanted by all three worlds after their merger—Shadow.

Rudolf wasn't afraid of death; he was prepared to die the moment he became a teacher. But he couldn't die now, at least not now. He had a more important mission to complete, so…

"Astarothie, prepare..."

"Come on, let me see what kind of drama you can offer me. I'm looking forward to your performance."

Rudolf's voice was interrupted just as he was about to order Astarothie to use all the magic she had accumulated over the past few days, preparing to fight the Shadow to the death.

Rudolf wanted to comply with Shadow's request to leave, but he was also worried that it was a ploy to lull him into a false sense of security and launch a sneak attack from behind, so he hesitated to do so.

"Command recognition error, request to reissue command."

Astarothie got up, and through the gaps in her cloak, it was clear that the fall injuries she had sustained from being knocked away had healed in just a few seconds. If it weren't for the bloodstains still on her skin and clothes, one would think that Astarothie hadn't been injured at all.

The mechanical voice of Astarothie behind him snapped Rudolf out of his shock and fear at seeing the shadow.

Why resort to a sneak attack when you can fight them with the power of shadow? Even if you use all the magic power that Astarothie is planning to use to break through the Foundation Gate, it's questionable whether you can even withstand one more move from the shadow.

After figuring this out, Rudolf calmed down and began to think about why the shadow had appeared here. After all, such a powerful person wouldn't break their promise because of someone as insignificant as them, and if they really intended to break their promise, there was nothing they could do about it.

Judging from Shadow's tone, if he didn't appear to deal with them, then what was Shadow's purpose in appearing? And what was the meaning of that last sentence?

Rudolf's gaze fell on Yukina Himeragi, who had collapsed behind Shadow. Shadow had appeared just now when Astarothie was about to confront this sword shaman from the Lion King Organization. Although he didn't quite believe that such a powerful person would be obsessed with women, judging from the current situation, Shadow had indeed appeared to save this sword shaman from the Lion King Organization.

As if he had seen through Rudolph's thoughts, Shadow chuckled softly.

"Ha, it would be too boring for you to kill her now. Of course, if your drama satisfies me, you will thank me for saving her."

You saved my enemy and now you expect me to thank you?

Although that was what he was thinking, Rudolf dared not show it on his face at all, and could only quickly order Astarothie to follow him away.

Standing high in the air, Sid watched the fight below, his mind a bit of a mess.

Just after Himeragi Yukina left, he randomly found an empty alley, changed his clothes to avoid the surveillance cameras, and came over as a shadow.

The first thing they saw was Himeragi Yukina fighting with Rudolph, the conman they had met before—no, it wasn't fighting, it was crushing him.

This scene greatly shocked him.

Where's the conman guy I was promised? With this kind of strength, you're telling Rudolph he's a conman? A conman who can defeat Yukina Himeragi in three rounds? What kind of conman could have this kind of strength?

If Rudolf isn't a fraud, then what he said before... could it be true?

Rudolf was truly a scourge of the church!

Astarothie is truly an artificial life form!!

They really want to sink this island!!!

Although there were still a lot of questions, Sid didn't intend to think about it any further; if he did, Himeragi Yukina would die.

With that thought in mind, Sid leaped into the air with his right foot and swooped down, his high-speed movement through the air creating a series of sonic booms.

"Snapped!"

The massive white wrist was blocked by his palm.

Okay, now let him think about what lines he should say... Got it!

"The world is already completely covered by spider webs, yet you choose to kill each other. I really hope you can break free of your cocoons!"

As she delivered her lines, she forcefully struck the giant wrist with her palm, sending it flying along with Astarothie.

Seeing the shock and confusion in Rudolf's eyes, Sid nodded in satisfaction.
