Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

"Shut up, Satomi!" Kisara quickly pushed Isaac off the podium.

"Does everyone know about the Holy Emperor?"

This time, almost all the students in the class nodded in agreement.

"Is that the beautiful princess?"

"That is, the head of state."

Kisara laughed and said, "That's right, His Majesty the Holy Emperor was also Miwa's student. However, due to her busy schedule with official duties, she has never come to the school."

Just then, Isaac suddenly jumped onto the podium again, slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Classmates, don't be blinded by appearances!"

Tendo Kisara: "?"

Everyone: ?

"That Holy Emperor is not only inefficient, but he also owes money and refuses to pay it back!" Isaac shouted.

"Huh?"

"really?"

Kisara Tendo covered his forehead and said, "I'm telling you, it's not good to smear the head of state in front of children."

“I think so too, Mr. Satomi.”

A sudden voice came from behind Isaac. When he turned around, he found that beautiful white figure standing right behind him.

The Holy Emperor has arrived.

Kisara opened his mouth wide but couldn't utter a single word.

The Holy Emperor looked at the students below the stage and greeted them with a smile: "Hello everyone, are you enjoying school?"

The students stood there, mouths agape, stunned.

"Hoo-ha."

Only one person made a sound at the scene, and that was Tina, who had been sleeping since the beginning.

“Mr. Satomi, it’s not good to speak ill of others in front of your students,” the Holy Emperor said with a smile.

"Yes, that was indeed not good," Isaac said to the students below the stage. "I just set a bad example, so please don't talk badly about others behind their backs in the future."

"Great!" the children shouted.

The Holy Emperor nodded in satisfaction.

"Why are you nodding? Come on, come up to the podium." Isaac beckoned to the Holy Emperor.

"?"

The Holy Son did not understand what Isaac had asked her to do, so she went up onto the stage.

As she walked onto the stage, Isaac pulled her aside and pointed at her, saying, "Classmates, this Holy Emperor is not only inefficient, but he also owes money and refuses to pay it back!"

Holy Emperor: "..."

Tendo Kigeng: "..."

The students in the audience: "..."

They all looked at Isaac, while Elder Matsuzaki, who had been listening in, had already fainted from fright.

“What’s wrong? I’m not talking about you behind your back right now,” Isaac said, looking at the Holy Emperor. “I’m saying it to your face.”

He then looked at the children below, who were still in a daze, and said, "Classmates, not repaying debts is a bad habit; please don't follow it..."

"Wait a minute! Mr. Satomi!!" The Holy Emperor hurriedly covered Isaac's mouth. "At least give me some face!!"

Isaac lowered his voice: "When are you going to hand over my ten billion dollars?"

"Today!"

"Very good!"

The Holy Emperor continued, "Actually, I came to see Mr. Satomi this time because I have a request."

"……Wait me a moment."

Isaac returned to the podium and said, "In short, that's all for today's lesson. The Holy Emperor has some matters to attend to with me. Everyone should study hard in the future and strive to become like me or Teacher Tiantong."

"Okay, get out of class dismissed."

--------------

In the conference room of Tiandong Civil Security Company, everyone was silent.

The Holy Emperor sat opposite the guest sofa. Across the glass table, Isaac and Mogen sat side by side on a two-seater sofa.

Both of them had just heard the Holy Emperor explain the situation.

The content is unbelievable.

Kisara Tendo looked incredulous, while Isaac seemed completely indifferent.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, in six days the megalith will collapse and Gastrea will invade in large numbers. Will the Tokyo area be infected, break out, and be destroyed?"

"If no measures are taken, then it certainly will."

The Holy Emperor was much calmer than they had imagined.

Kisara looked at the whitened photos of the megaliths spread out on the glass table, as well as the terrifying Gastrea head photos that made it hard to look away.

"Yesterday's news said that the Gastrea near the megalith was quickly driven away..." Kisara Tendo said with a grim expression.

"The media has learned the truth and is willing to assist."

"..."

The implication is that Tokyo is facing imminent disaster, but the general public seems largely unaware of this.

The Holy Emperor placed a bank card on the table and said to Isaac, "This is the 10 billion US dollars I owed before. I'm sorry it's only now that I'm paying it back."

After Isaac accepted the bank card, she continued, "I've come here today to ask you for a favor, sir."

“I think I know what you’re going to say,” Isaac said. “Let me fend off these Gastrea while you ‘take action,’ right?”

The Holy Emperor gritted his teeth.

“I know it’s very unreasonable of you to trouble Mr. Satomi, but I absolutely do not want to see Tokyo Ward turn into ruins again.”

"This might turn you into a debtor head of state once again."

“It’s alright.” The Holy Emperor looked at Isaac earnestly. “I will definitely pay the commission. I must protect the people of Tokyo no matter what.”

After a long silence, Isaac smiled and said, "The more clearly you describe the location, quantity, and configuration, the better."

The Holy Emperor then showed a look of surprise.

Chapter 279: Crisis in the Tokyo District

"In a few days, we will be able to see the whitening of the megalith from a distance. Now, under Aldebaran's command, a large number of Gastrea have gathered outside the megalith. It is predicted that there will eventually be two thousand," the Holy Emperor said.

"Two thousand?! You must be kidding me!" Kisara Tendo was the first to panic. "...That's outrageous. Everyone's going to die. The Tokyo area will be completely wiped out!!"

Seeing the somewhat distraught expression on Tendo Kisara's face, Isaac asked, "Is that Aldebaran very powerful?"

The Holy Emperor nodded and said, “It’s terrifying. Aldebaran is an ancient Gastrea that always appears alongside Taurus in Phase V. Taurus is a rare Phase V Gastrea that takes collective action, and Aldebaran is like its right and left hands. That’s why the brightest star in Taurus—Aldebaran—is used as the identification code.”

Kisara Tendo seemed to remember something, and looked up to ask, "But Taurus should already be..."

It should have been eliminated. Defeated by the initiator, whose IP address ranked first.

The Holy Emperor continued, “That is indeed the case. Of the eleven Zodiac Gastrea, three have been confirmed to have been eliminated. One was Scorpio, defeated by Mr. Satomi; another was Virgo, defeated by the German Initiator, currently ranked second in IP. As for the last one, the Taurus Legion, once considered invincible and instilling fear in humanity, has been confirmed to have been eliminated by the Initiator, currently ranked first in IP and the strongest in the world. However, the most important thing is that Aldebaran is in its complete form, not Stage V.”

Kisara covered his mouth with his hand and let out a soft "ah".

"Yes, Miss Kisara, all Gastrea except those from the zodiac would normally be absolutely unable to enter the inner side of the monolith due to its magnetic field," the Holy Emperor said. "However, Aldebaran did successfully climb onto the monolith, inject the corrosive fluid, and then retreat..."

After listening to the Holy Emperor's words, Isaac pondered for a moment.

“I believe this was an organized operation,” Isaac said.

The Holy Emperor and the Heavenly Child Kisara both looked at Isaac.

He continued, "First, I'd like to ask, what happened to the megalith before this?"

The Holy Emperor recalled the information and said, "Indeed, ant-like Gastrea attacked the nearby Self-Defense Forces earlier."

“This is it,” Isaac said. “This is a detailed attack, designed to create an opportunity for that Aldebaran to cling to the megalith.”

The Holy Emperor paused for a moment, then shook his head: "Mr. Satomi, those ant-like Gastrea do not have the ability to get close to the monolith. They will be killed by the magnetic field. Only Stage IV or Stage V Gastrea can get close to the monolith."

"What if it's a suicide attack?"

"What!?"

"Those ants chose to attack the megalith knowing they would die, just to protect Aldebaran from leaving its saliva on it," Isaac said. "I have to say, I admire them a little, hahaha."

Looking at Isaac laughing heartily, the Holy Emperor frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Satomi, Gastrea are enemies."

“Of course I know, I only admire their will,” Isaac laughed.

At this moment, the Holy Emperor also began to think about it. Although he was unwilling to believe it, Isaac's analysis did indeed make some sense.

The meeting room fell silent immediately.

"So, Holy Emperor, you summoned me here so that I could single-handedly wipe out two thousand Gastrea?" Isaac asked. "If that's the case, you might as well just have me build a giant stone monument for you."

“Mr. Satomi, please don’t joke around. How can a giant stone monument be built just like that?” the Holy Emperor said helplessly. “The main reason I came here this time is to hope that Mr. Satomi can stop the ‘auxiliary forces’.”

"Auxiliary troops!?"

Kisara's body stiffened with tension. It seemed she knew the meaning of that term.

"Boss, what's that?"

"Huh? Police officer Zhizao should have mentioned that in his lecture... Oh right, you have amnesia."

Kisara explained, "When the government takes emergency measures, it can allow police officers to join the Self-Defense Forces. The support system refers to the police detachment system under the military."

"Does that mean I should find someone to play with?"

"...You don't have to use this terminology, but that's roughly the idea."

The Holy Emperor also explained:
