"Boss... ahem, what I've been doing recently is related to the Pirate King."
The Pirate King...? Horrified expressions appeared on the students' faces.
Typhoon Draim Kans is a household horror story in the Citadel...but only for children before bed.
Well... Grown-up students certainly know that the pirate power is almost gone now, but when they were young, everyone has heard their grandmother hum something like "The Pirate King Eats Children".
And that Xing Sheng... the legendary "Dark Priestess" in the dark night of the middle school town, actually went to confront the Pirate King head-on!
"Then... Professor Ling is back, why isn't the boss back?" The student looked around.
"The boss's mission isn't over yet," Nobo said in a serious tone. "She's different from ordinary students like us. Her goal is... the stars and the sea, or something like that."
Not long ago, Master Nob Sunlight, who used to claim every day that he served the "Angel of the Blazing Sun", also began to regard himself as an "ordinary person".
Of course, this is because he realized that he didn't have anything special, and the little talent he had needed to settle down before it could be fully developed.
At least, compared with Xing Sheng, he is completely no match for her.
When they met for the last time, Nobo even felt the aura of "Saint Auros, the Angel of the Burning Sun" on Xingsheng!
That was the aura of the Blazing Sun Angel! Nobo had never felt such an aura from his own father.
Did He look at that girl during the struggle in which the angel sacrificed himself to defend the Citadel?
"..."
Nobo shook his head and focused his attention on the field class in front of him.
At this time, the ships in the port were moving away in all directions, clearing a large area of sea.
Only the three-masted sailing ship belonging to the imperial ambassador was still floating on the sea, the sun totem on the hull emitting light.
"The Imperial Ambassador has landed...!"
A blaze of fire suddenly shot up at the port and rose into the sky, scaring the students so much that they stepped back.
Then, a figure wearing a bronze helmet walked out of the fire, and the masked head glanced slightly at everyone in the port.
The person who came was undoubtedly the Imperial Ambassador, the Scarab.
"You're trying to disperse us," the Scarab said calmly. "Are you ready to fight the Golden Fleet?"
"No, man, it's a misunderstanding."
Not far away, someone was shouting and jogging. Nobo turned around and saw Principal Merlin running towards him.
The gentleman in a black suit stopped in front of the Scarab, exhaled, and clapped his hands.
“We are teaching the students.”
"Your course requires clearing the ocean?" Scarab asked, somewhat bewildered. "Obviously, swimming competitions can be held elsewhere, not here."
"No, certainly not a swimming competition."
Merlin clapped his hands, turned around, and opened his arms to the students:
"Today, we are studying 'Sacred Objects'!"
There was a sudden commotion in the crowd. It was obvious that everyone had been looking forward to this class for a long time.
After all, most of Nefera Beta's field classes revolve around field investigations and research, with very few related to adventure, let alone courses on "holy objects."
And this time, it was Principal Merlin who personally taught the knowledge about the "holy objects"?
Looking at the surprised students, Merlin smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet:
"As everyone knows, a 'holy object' is an object that can, without playing any strings, use its own power to activate the power of strings in nature."
"Among these, some 'sacred objects' can be artificially manufactured, such as the 'harp' that everyone has seen on the entrance exam."
"Some are formed from natural and extraordinary objects. For example, the horn of the Storm Narwhal can easily be transformed into a sacred object capable of triggering the power of the Thunder String."
"And 'holy objects' are ranked according to the level of chords they can generate, just like wizards."
"Today, the 'sacred object' we're using as a teaching example is of the octave level."
The students were previously immersed in excitement, but when they heard the word "eight strings", they all fell silent at the same time.
Everyone looked at Principal Merlin in disbelief. Eight-stringed horns? Wasn't that a demigod-level creature?
"Ling, please bring the teaching equipment up." Merlin clapped his hands.
The sound of splashing water came from not far away. The students turned around and saw Professor Ling walking towards them with a wand in hand. In front of him was a group of things surrounded by six or seven bracelets.
That thing looked like a flute that was half bone and half metal.
Seeing the bone flute, the "Scarab" stood still, and the pair of eyes behind the mask revealed an unpredictable look.
Principal Merlin nodded to the Scarab, then waved his wand and the bone flute flew out of the water ring and landed in his hand.
He wrapped one end of the bone flute with a golden handkerchief, and as the golden light flashed, the continuously flowing water disappeared.
"It's called the 'Storm Beacon,'" Merlin smiled as he showed it to the students. "It's a contraband item we seized from pirates on the Storm Sea some time ago. Of course, the Imperial Navy also contributed to it."
Merlin smiled politely at the Scarab as a token of his gratitude.
The Scarab still maintained an unpredictable expression, without any response.
Merlin nodded, raised the flute, and said to the students:
"Generally speaking, the power of a 'holy object' requires specific means to activate. One method involves infusing it with spiritual energy, while another, like our string-playing technique, requires the corresponding musical score."
"Those that are infused with spiritual power do not require special demonstrations and teaching, so today we chose the latter."
"Please behold the power of the Storm Beacon."
Merlin put his mouth to the flute and was about to play, but then, as if remembering something, he turned to the Imperial Ambassador and clasped his hands together.
"Excuse me... Please move the boat a bit, it might be a bit of a scene later."
After hearing what he said, the Scarab remained silent, seemingly considering something.
After a moment, he nodded and then took a few steps back.
At the same time, the Black Jackal began to retreat on the sea, moving away from the sea in front of the port.
"Thank you for your generous cooperation, Your Excellency the Envoy." Merlin smiled politely.
Seeing that the Scarab didn't speak, Merlin turned and faced the sea.
He put his mouth to the flute and began to play softly.
"?~~~"
The ethereal sound of a flute rang out, echoing over the harbor and passing through the crowd.
Then, like a sharp sword, the melodies pierced the sea, like a dragon passing over the sea.
The next second, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a storm came from the sky, slamming into the sea level.
"boom!"
Huge waves surged, spray rolled up by the wind, sea water flew into the sky, and moved rapidly along with the whirlwind, forming a magnificent waterspout!
Nobo only felt a gust of wind coming, and he subconsciously raised his wand, trying to build a barrier in front of him.
But before he made a move, Professor Ling had already stood silently in front of the students, and a golden barrier appeared out of thin air to protect the students.
"The power of the 'Storm Beacon' is to mobilize the forces of the sea and storms," Professor Ling explained calmly to his students amidst the raging wind. "According to current intelligence, this bone flute can stir up a massive, moving storm covering dozens of miles, and can move across the ocean at the user's will."
"This is too exaggerated..." Nobo muttered, "It's like the Storm God himself is showing his power..."
Nobo had never seen a god perform a miracle. Even though the "Starry Sea Mass" in the "Cathedral of St. Auros" always looked like the stars were descending, Nobo knew that it was just a scene created by mortals.
He always felt that the power displayed by gods should be clearly different from that of humans.
And when Principal Merlin created such a commotion on the sea by playing the flute, as a servant of God, Nobo seemed to understand a lot about "the power of God" all of a sudden.
"..."
During the storm, most of the students watched everything in front of them with awe, witnessing the mighty power of nature being controlled by humans.
At this time, a little boy said weakly:
"Professor Ling said that the item was captured from pirates...and the young master said that Boss Xingsheng also dealt with the Pirate King some time ago."
"...Could it be that the boss snatched that thing back..."
Nobo: “…?”
He subconsciously wanted to refute, but suddenly realized...
Oh my god, is this really the case?
That power that seemed to be able to control the storm, was taken back by Boss Xingsheng?
Is she really a four-stringed instrument? Is she a five-stringed instrument? Is she a six-stringed instrument? Is she a demigod?
For a moment, Nobo's pupils trembled wildly.
Recalling the time he provoked Xing Sheng in a class during his first year of school, he suddenly felt...
...I am able to live to this day, I think I am blessed by angels.
"Master, why are you silent?" the boy next to him asked cautiously.
"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed," Nobo shook his head in a solemn manner. "Some things... should remain secret."
"Got it! Got it! Keep it secret..."
The students all shut their mouths and decided not to mention the matter again.
It was as if if they said one more word, a waterspout from the sea would come and sweep them all up into the sky.
"..."
While using the Storm Beacon, Merlin fully felt the loss of his spiritual power, a speed that even he was astonished by.
As expected... it's still difficult to fully weaponize this bone flute with just one person using it...
Delem Kans must have been blessed to have been able to sustain the powerful storm for so long.
But this is not a problem. Even without the blessing, relying on the "Superstring Array", it should be no problem to repel the Empire's fleet from the sea.
Merlin thought, finished playing, turned around and looked at his classmates with a smile.
"Okay, students, I believe this will give you a more intuitive feeling."
As he finished playing, the storm above the sea gradually dissipated, and a large amount of sea water that was swept into the sky fell from the sky, forming a rainstorm.
Merlin decisively opened the umbrella he had prepared long ago, and the students were soaked like drowned rats.
"Alright! Find some shelter!" Merlin laughed heartily in the rain, looking at his classmates' disheveled faces. "Sorry, haha, I forgot to remind you to bring an umbrella. But getting wet in the rain will definitely help your moldy bodies from staying in the dorm, right?"
Merlin watched the students run towards the distant shelter. After confirming that they were safe, he turned back to look at the location of the Scarab.
He saw the Scarab gazing at the sea, with heavy rain pouring down his bronze helmet, but he paid no attention to it.
He just stood there, staring in the direction of Shinjara.
......

"Huh...? It's only the second day... and you have a commission?"
Aurora rubbed her eyes drowsily. Her messy bangs covered her little face, making it look like a small cluster of seaweed that had just emerged from a seaweed bush. She looked so clumsy and foolish.
Whose evil god is so stupid...? Xingmo sighed and threw the clothes to Aurora:
"Mr. Luffy briefed us on this emergency. Get up quickly."
"Oh~"
Aurora slowly took off her nightgown, changed into a cool off-shoulder dress, and immediately put on calf socks on her feet.
Looking at her movements, she is just like a kid in winter who is trying to resist going to school by getting up slowly!
Well...it is indeed winter now, but the sunshine outside is abnormally bright.
"..."
While Aurora was changing her clothes, Xingmo quickly sorted out the basic medicines at the small table and put them into her backpack.
In fact, most of them are used to cover up. The only important medicine is "Flower Language", which is used to fight spiritual damage.
