Magic High School.

“Yes, I’m waiting for you to master the domain so we can fight,” Li Ge encouraged.

Another day passed, and on this day, they saw the confident fairy lady again. However, it seemed that after being beaten up a few times, her sharp edges had gradually been smoothed out. She was no longer so godlike, and she had also learned not to raise her head too high when she spoke, but to speak to others on an equal footing.

This time, Li Ge went easy on him. He felt that he had trained him enough, so he performed a demonstration where he didn't master the domain distance and released the domain without doing so.

It seems that the fairy lady also seized the opportunity to make this seemingly empty play.

She immediately launched a barrage of attacks, the light element in her hands transforming into countless densely packed light rings and rays under her high-speed chanting.

In the end, Li Ge had no choice but to transform into his masked armor form and deliver a Rider Kick.

It seems that Miss Fairy had planned this Knight Kick in advance, preparing a powerful attack on the inevitable path.

Finally, Li Ge kicked her chest to pieces, and her energy bomb took Li Ge away with it.

"Battle over. System verdict: Draw!"

This time, after leaving the virtual arena, the fairy seemed to feel a kind of sublimation. She felt that she had broken through, but she couldn't quite remember where she had broken through.

But this feeling is wonderful, so... exhilarating!

She seemed to have finally found the long-lost pleasure, whether it was the pleasure of fighting or the pleasure of finally being able to defeat this invincible enemy after suppressing it for so long.

Although she didn't win, it was just a draw, but she seemed to be gradually finding a way to deal with the field, and gradually touching the threshold of the field.

She felt that tonight, her domain would be solidified, thus getting closer to the initial form of her domain.

"Let's go for barbecue tonight!" Li Ge, who came out with a draw, seemed to have no regrets. Instead, she strode around with an air of indifference and asked her friends this question.

"Okay, okay, where to?" When it came to food, Valerie was the first one who wasn't sleepy anymore.

"The most expensive barbecue in Academy City! Let's invite Lola and Ryza along, it's on me!" Li Ge said generously.

Although he had used all his savings to repair the Masked Armor and upgrade it to the Ohmu's exoskeleton, his wallet had recently started to bulge again after the mission rewards came in.

It would be more than enough to treat someone to a barbecue or something similar.

"Yay! Watch me slaughter you, you bastard!" Valerie said.

Watching that group of people chatting and laughing, for some reason, Miss Fairy felt an unparalleled...

Lonely?

maybe.

She has few friends, whether at school or in her clan's territory, and most of the other fairies respect her.

In the past, she, like other fairies, believed that "proud fairies don't need friends" and that "we fairies are meant to stand at the top of everything and be the absolute number one."

She is able to enjoy solitude because she believes that as an absolute powerhouse, the solitude that comes with it is only natural.

A strong person is one who can feel loneliness, understand loneliness, and enjoy loneliness.

But now, for some reason, looking at that lively little team, she suddenly felt a...

envy?

Perhaps so; this jealousy was so subtle that she herself didn't even realize it.

But after that jealousy, all I felt was that familiar loneliness...

Forget it, I'll just be lonely. I'm used to being alone anyway...

"Hey, wanna join us?" Li Ge suddenly spoke up, his clown mask still showing a smile, making people laugh like a circus clown.

"Are you talking to me?" Daphne asked, startled.

"Otherwise, what else? Are there any other outsiders here besides you? Just consider it a treat to barbecue so I can have a good time," Li Ge said.

"Heh, you begged me to go!" Little did the fairy know, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her own mouth.

It seems like... happiness?

maybe.

Having gained the approval of someone I could never defeat, I'll do them a favor and have a meal with them—it's the fairy princess's charity.

However, for some reason, she felt an indescribable joy and satisfaction.

The atmosphere at the barbecue in the evening wasn't actually stiff.

Besides the four members of Li Ge's team, she also met a little girl named Lola. The little girl had a sweet tongue and kept saying things like, "Sister, you are so beautiful," and "Little Lola wants to be as beautiful as you when she grows up."

After a few sentences, Miss Fairy seemed to have been tricked into pouting.

Thanks to Ryza's lively atmosphere and her part-time role as the barbecue chef, the group thoroughly enjoyed their dinner barbecue, eating over ten kilograms of meat.

Valerie alone ate a full eight pounds; it seems she really came with the intention of eating Li Ge out of house and home.

However, Li Ge felt that this amount of spending was nothing, just the money he earned from the dividends of one of his Setu cards.

Although Yilian has reduced the frequency of selling suggestive images due to training, it is still a considerable income.

"See you tomorrow!" Li Ge asked casually as they parted.

"Hmph!" The fairy gave what she thought was a cool snort, and then left.

At this moment, Li Ge and the others said with a smile, "After spending so much time, the plan should be in place. In another two days, we should be able to go to the fairy kingdom for a visit."

"I'm exhausted. It feels like acting is more tiring than going on a mission," Valerie said.

"No, what did you act in? Haven't you always been playing yourself?" Yilian asked in confusion.

"You wretched Yilian, I'll remember your sabotage!" Valerie glared at him fiercely.

The group laughed and felt that it was about time. This way, they would most likely not encounter any major troubles after arriving in the Fairy Kingdom. Even if they went through the Executive Department's connections to get in through official channels, they could bring that fairy lady along, and she might even be happy to do so.

……

Meanwhile, back in her dormitory, Miss Fairy was smiling happily.

"Your Highness, what makes you so happy?" another fairy in the same dormitory asked casually.

"It's nothing, I just defeated a formidable enemy today." Daphne couldn't help but hum softly, then, without bothering to explain further, she went straight back to her room.

That night, this time, she drifted off to sleep and saw her own domain. At the same time, she also learned the true name of her domain.

"A Midsummer Night's Dream from Fairy Opera..." she murmured the name, watching the butterflies and fireflies fluttering in the summer night. The moonlit summer night was truly beautiful. This was the name of her domain.

Although she can't even be considered to have a rudimentary domain yet, she understands that she has truly stepped into the realm of domain sorcerers.

Chapter 245 Departure, Taking Office in the Fairy Kingdom!

Subspace, a place that no one can discover, is where the vice principal is located.

"Vice Principal, you'd better think of something quickly!" The secretary grabbed the old man's collar tightly.

He didn't know how long he had been locked up, but he knew that something serious was going on.

The two of them were attacked on the territory of the Church of Order, and the attacker turned out to be a senior from thousands of years ago? Or even an old friend of the vice principal?

In this situation, even a fool could tell that the problem was serious. If nothing unexpected happened, that person would use their position to cause harm to the school!

The vice principal, on the other hand, was the calmer one. Although he would normally be very irritable, at this moment he was frighteningly calm, as calm as an ice cube.

“There’s no need to panic. The problem is huge, panicking won’t help.” He looked at the extremely unusual space and said, “Jupiter’s Abyss Tartarus… just as I thought…”

"Vice Principal, why aren't you putting up any resistance?!" the secretary yelled.

"Because here, the more anxious you are, the more it will affect your judgment! Tartarus of the Abyss is a Noble Phantasm that is close to the level of a divine artifact. Its effect is to imprison any soul in the abyss, but it requires the target to stand still for a full three seconds to activate the effect."

"In my understanding, apart from true gods like the God of Order, even the world consciousness cannot withstand Jupiter's Abyss Tartarus." The vice principal began, speaking slowly, "After all, he once truly imprisoned a corrupt world consciousness."

"The more anxious you are here, the slower time will feel, and the weaker your soul will become."

Although she knew she couldn't rush things, the secretary had no choice but to!

During this time, he also learned about Jupiter.

Thousands of years ago, he was the vice principal's senior, and even taught the vice principal when he was still a student. He was essentially a senior who led the vice principal on several missions.

Thousands of years! This is a timeframe he can only look up to. Even elves, known for their longevity, would have seen four or five generations pass away during this period, and humans would probably have gone through dozens of generations.

The vice principal is still alive because he can no longer be considered a "human." He has completely transformed himself into a pure soul entity, much like data, and is merely clinging to life as a puppet.

But what makes Jupiter so alive?

And he's simply, ridiculously strong, with this outrageously powerful Noble Phantasm, why is that?

Why is he on the side of the Order God Cult when they are both senior students at the magic high school? And what's wrong with that strange sealing ring on his hand?

"So, are we just supposed to wait here to die?" the secretary asked.

“No, I already sent a message to my other doll beforehand. When it was activated, the school was able to receive the message that we should have returned long ago, but we didn’t. That’s when they’ll know there’s a problem,” Vice Principal Moriarty said instead.

"So, we just have to wait?" He was on the verge of collapse.

“There is another way,” the vice principal said slowly.

"any solution?"

“It far exceeds the limits that Tartarus in the Abyss can tolerate, that is, it must at least reach the quasi-sixth rank, breaking through Tartarus in the Abyss from the inside out.” The vice principal stated the most likely scenario.

"How could that be?" the secretary immediately denied.

According to the academy system's evaluation standards, all beings above the sixth rank are considered true gods.

Even the world consciousness, within its own world, is only at the mid-level of the fifth rank.

This is nothing short of a fantasy.

"Do you know my current psionic level?" the vice principal suddenly asked.

"Fifth...fifth rank?" The secretary seemed a little unsure.

Generally speaking, in the native pantheons of a typical planet, the fourth rank is equivalent to a chief god, and the quasi-fifth rank is equivalent to a god-king.

A fifth-order being is essentially a being similar to a supreme god or a unique god. Generally speaking, it is impossible for beings to reach the fifth order on ordinary planets, simply because they lack sufficient psionic energy.

As for why the school was able to allow a very small number of people to reach the fifth rank, we have to thank the World Tree. It is said to be a creation from the same era as the original school, possessing extremely vast and terrifying energy.

Some have even said that the World Tree possesses self-awareness.

Over the years, all the fifth-tier individuals who have appeared in the school have signed a contract with the World Tree, received energy from the World Tree, and thus transcended the constraints of the fifth tier. And those people will eventually return to the World Tree, giving back the spiritual energy supplied by the World Tree to the World Tree.

He wasn't really sure what level the vice principal was using at full strength, but it should be the fifth rank. He didn't know exactly what level within the fifth rank.
