Magic High School.

Live interview with the sole survivor of Pure Island, revealing the true story behind it.

……

News reports dominated the headlines across the internet, shocking the world. These days, the Pure Island incident has become a topic of discussion and outrage for everyone.

"Our reporter has obtained permission to interview the sole survivor of Pure Island." In the television station, Zero, with a vacant look in his eyes and wearing a hospital gown, sat at the interview table.

"How did you manage to seize the yacht all by yourself and escape by sailing hundreds of nautical miles?" the reporter asked.

"No, I didn't steal it. My friends, Li Ge and Yi Lian, stole it. Then they even helped me plug the leak. With the help of the Paladin brothers, I was able to escape..." Zero said.

However, the reporter interrupted, "But, according to both surveillance footage and records, you were the only one who escaped. From the moment the ship left Pure Island, you were the only one there. There's no record of Li Ge, Yi Lian, Xiao Ye, Valerie, or even Daphne, whom you mentioned. Are they just friends you imagined?"

Ling opened his mouth, wanting to say, "They are not fantasizing," but when he saw the pity in the reporter's eyes—the kind of pity one has for the mentally ill—he fell silent.

“I…” Zero fell silent. Then, he slowly lowered his head, looked at his hospital gown, and said, “Perhaps…”

"Then, how did you manage to sail hundreds of nautical miles without knowing anything about it?"

"I have no idea……"

How exactly did you escape?

"I have no idea……"

What happened last on the island?

"I have no idea……"

The interview was rather anticlimactic. As the sole survivor of Pure Island, the little boy had always dreamed of having a group of friends who would escape the island with him, but in reality, he was the only one who escaped.

Even he himself probably didn't know how he escaped the strafing by the helicopter, the capture by the nuns, and the sentries on the yacht, and managed to steal the boat and sail back hundreds of nautical miles.

However, due to the popularity of Pure Island, the show's ratings skyrocketed. Even so, in the end, Zero simply recounted his life on the island, the people there, and the stories that unfolded there.

He calmly recounted everything he saw while hiding in the ventilation duct.

Finally, the male guests on the show fell silent, the female guests wept, and even the host listened to the little boy's story while wiping away tears.

"By the way, I heard you have a new name now. You chose it yourself. What is it?" the host asked, holding the microphone to the little boy's mouth.

"Abaddon, that's my name, Abaddon."

"Why is it called that?" the female host asked.

"Because it's the name of an 'unclean' demon..."

……

The little boy became a big celebrity.

Even because he was the only survivor and the only witness on the entire Pure Island, he was entitled to free access to the archives.

So unless there were special circumstances, he would lock himself in the archives. Before him lay a mountain of documents, densely packed, all related to Pure Island.

He found information about Charles...

He was a hacker who, before being hired by the old pope, was a typical shady character, having even committed many heinous acts. However, after accepting the job and obtaining information about Pure Island, he devoted the rest of his life to destroying it.

In the end, he was assassinated by the children of the gods.

“I’m not a good person, but even someone like me who walks the gray area can distinguish what is disgusting evil. I’d rather go to hell than let those disgusting evils go unpunished.”

“I stayed there. I can’t save you all; as many as you can escape, that’s what I can do…”

"I can't save you..."

The radio played intermittent audio from channel 97.42.

The little boy found the information about the former Pope, Saint Howls, again. Yes, he was a former pope; he was dead, died on that island, and no one knew how he died.

He was a soldier, though not a very determined one.

In his youth, he attempted to cleanse the world, but failed, resulting in the deaths of many. In the end, he voluntarily became a puppet pope and even succumbed to depravity.

Even so, he continued to fight. He continued to secretly develop his power until it was enough to destroy the behemoth that he had failed to destroy in his youth.

In the end, he stayed on the island, while he escaped...

Yes, everyone stayed there, except me, only me...

"Hahaha, hahaha, I understand, I understand everything. I know the truth of the world... Hahaha, I will become a sage, a great sage. I will live a more brilliant life than anyone else, and I will make greater contributions than anyone else!"

"I want to uncover the truth!"

Zero… now he should be called Abaddon, he smiled, seemingly surrounded by documents and books. He smiled, as if his companions, who had escaped with him, were still by his side; they had gained their freedom, they had finally escaped that cage…

Books fluttered all around him, and he laughed, tumbling and dancing among them.

Above are the files of the people from Pure Island, lists of names and their sins, redemption and judgment.

These scattered documents were automatically put back into place and sealed, making the room, which was filled with countless books and documents, neat and tidy.

“Thank you for liking my story,” said the little boy, Abaddon.

The Holiday After Chapter 171

While the entire school was busy with monthly exams, invigilators were conducting various forms of supervision and inspection, as well as preventing students from actually being assaulted by priests and nuns during this gloomy exam period.

The adjutant slowly arrived outside the school, near a manor close to the World Tree.

The World Tree behind the school mountain is enormous. Just how big is it? Even Juno, who has been the vice minister of the executive department for so long, doesn't know. It's probably nearly ten kilometers in diameter and tens of thousands of meters tall.

Whenever he sees this giant tree, he feels a sense of awe.

This estate, located beneath the World Tree, is simply inscribed with the two words "Cemetery".

He came here carrying a bouquet of flowers.

However, as he was about to enter, he paused for a moment, because Abaddon, the most eccentric professor in the mysterious academy, who even had a mental illness certificate, slowly walked out of the cemetery.

"Professor? I seem to remember that you were the one who set the exam questions these past few days, right? Aren't you in charge of proctoring?" the adjutant asked in confusion.

"Yeah, they asked me to proctor the exam, but I refused," Abaddon said casually, waving his hand dismissively as a greeting.

After his adjutant Juno entered the cemetery, Abaddon simply sighed and said, "I have told you everything I can teach you. As for how much you can learn, that's up to you."

"The path of the domain is inherently the loneliest path..."

He murmured to himself and slowly left the place.

When the adjutant Juno arrived, he looked at a newly erected tombstone, smiled, and wiped away the fallen leaves and grass clippings on it with his hand.

“Sheen, I’ve come to see you…” he said with a smile, placing the bouquet of flowers aside.

"It's been tested. Your daughter is perfectly suited to your Noble Phantasm, that sword and shield. However, she's only eleven years old, so she'll have to wait another five or six years before she can enroll in school..."

"We used to laugh at you, saying you were the youngest among us, yet the first to enter the 'walled city' of marriage. Looking back now, that was so long ago..."

The grass in front of the tombstone swayed in the wind, seemingly responding to him.

The adjutant spoke these words slowly, perhaps to the fallen junior student, or perhaps to himself.

He got up, brushed the grass clippings off his knees, and didn't look back.

As he was leaving, he was surprised to find that the two adjacent tombstones were also cleaned, and each had a small white flower on it.

From a distance, he saw the words on it.

To the Tomb of Pope Saint Howls...

To the Tomb of Holy Knight Charles...

Two clusters of small white flowers swayed gently in the wind, pointing towards the tombstone.

The adjutant, Juno, smiled as he slowly left the cemetery. Perhaps this was something left behind by that eccentric professor.

As he thought this, he looked towards the academy in the distance, which was shrouded in the star matrix spell.

Perhaps this is the time when the exam should end.

……

Meanwhile, those still taking the exam...

Daphne searched the beach alone. She had actually already moved far away from the island, but after seeing the massive explosion, she gritted her teeth and drove the yacht back.

“I don’t want to win against you this way!” she said, then turned back.

Then, on the way, she saw an even bigger explosion, one that seemed to pierce the sky, or like divine punishment descending from the heavens, as if it had completely pierced through the entire island.

She became even more anxious and went there.

But to this day, she still hasn't found any trace of those people.

It was as if they had been completely erased from that divine punishment.

The port that Li Ge had casually mentioned he would visit was now just a derelict ship with nearly melted-down vessels.

“You’re not at the port at all. Where did you go?” she asked, puzzled, amidst the ruins of the beach, kicking aside a charred plank, only to find nothing there.

……

[Monthly Exam: Paradise Fantasy Completed]

When Li Ge and the others returned to the real world from that pure white space, their first reaction was exhilaration.

A feeling of pure bliss from the inside out!

When I returned from the frail body of an eleven-year-old to the vibrant, burgeoning body of a sixteen-year-old, the feeling of being overflowing with spiritual energy and able to use it at will was so exhilarating that I wanted to pound my temples with my fingers!

Without comparison, there is no feeling. In an instant, it was as if they went from a 20-year-old old machine to a supercomputer. The smoothness and pleasure were simply unbelievable.

Especially since they were all injured or suffering from the side effects of using psionic energy.

"Ah, I'm awake? Is the exam over?" Valerie suddenly sat up and said.

other people:"……"

"So, what do you think?" Li Ge asked.

"I didn't feel anything. After blowing up Pegasus, it was like falling into a deep sleep, and then I woke up here. Have the scores come out yet?" She said casually, seemingly unaware that after blowing up Pegasus, all she could do was drool on the ship, and she drooled the whole way.
