On the other side, Old Tang also heard the broadcast from the academy, as well as Mr. Turing's words.

His heart skipped a beat, and his hands trembled slightly.

He didn't understand many of those conditions, such as tenured professorship and senior member; he had no idea what they meant.

But he could understand what was said after that.

For this academy, the power, wealth, mansions, and women that ordinary people dream of are just the simplest things, so much so that they are ashamed to bring them up as bargaining chips.

In other words, they can offer something more precious.

Will the boss agree?

Although Morikawa Yu had personally promised, Old Tang still couldn't help but worry.

......

The Academy, Valhalla

One of the elders, looking at the image projected on the screen, couldn't help but snort, "It sounds really disheartening."

"This kid stole the Dragon King's Egg and EVA, but Turing still had the nerve to negotiate with him, offering the Academy's possessions in exchange for the Dragon King's Egg and EVA."

"If things continue like this, will everyone be able to trample on the Secret Party's face?"

"What's there to be discouraged about?" another elder sneered.

"He can humiliate the academy, does that mean he has the power to do so? If I had the power, I would have beaten you old guys up long ago."

"They hide themselves in dark corners every day, more like dragons than dragons themselves."

"is that useful?"

"Can you deal with those dragons?"

"I do hope he can accept Turing's conditions, join us, and become an elder; that would bring some vitality..."

.......

"...So, Professor Morikawa, would you be willing to return to the academy?"

Mr. Turing asked in a deep voice.

Morikawa Yu shook her head.

"Mr. Turing, you don't even ask me why I stole the Dragon King's Egg and EVA before trying to persuade me to reconcile with the Academy?"

His voice is not loud.

But it was carried into the night sky by the wind.

Mr. Turing fell silent for a long time before saying, "That's because they all think you're a dragon, but I don't think so."

“You are different from those dragons; you are a hybrid like us,”

"You must have your own reasons for taking the Dragon King's Egg and EVA. I hope I can persuade you to turn back before things get out of control."

"If you have any problems, the college will work with you to solve them."

Morikawa Yu's heart moved.

Even though Mr. Turing said that, he still shook his head.

Because what he wanted was to protect Lao Tang, who was the ruler of the Dragon Clan.

The conflict between the Secret Society and the dragons has lasted for thousands of years and is certainly impossible to resolve.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Turing."

Morikawa Yu: "I am indeed not a dragon, but I am not a hybrid either."

"I came into this world to change some things, and if I can't change those things, then I've come for nothing."

He waved one last time at the helicopter in the night sky, then turned around, drew his crescent moon sword, and walked toward the high wall.

A pale moonlight shone on the blade of Mikazuki.

On the helicopter, Mr. Turing stared blankly at Morikawa Yu's back.

Suddenly, the radio rang.

It was Beowulf's voice: "Alright, Mr. Turing."

"It's time to end this childish negotiation."

"Next comes our...war against this dragon!"

He took a deep breath and roared in a deep voice.

"All troops, attack!"

boom!

A huge explosion!

The high wall on the north side of the college collapsed in an instant!

But it wasn't Morikawa Yu who swung his sword to cut down the high wall; rather, something crashed through the wall from the outside and rushed towards Morikawa Yu, who was standing by the wall.

Amidst the swirling dust and shattered concrete, Morikawa Yu finally saw its true form.

It was an exaggeratedly large creature. Although it had a human shape, it was as tall as a standing rhinoceros, with muscular arms and a ferocious face.

It easily smashed through the high wall and rushed towards Morikawa Yu, opening its enormous palm.

Beside it were two other figures.

The figure on the left was very thin, but he held ten sharp blades in his hands, cutting through the hard wall as easily as slicing tofu.

The figure on the right, carrying a rapier, scrutinized Morikawa Yu's body with cold, emotionless eyes. He leaped forward and swung the blade at Morikawa Yu.

"Battering Ram, Edward, Silver Ghost," Beowulf muttered, watching the images projected on the monitor.

These are the three "Immortals" who have just been unsealed. They all possess power close to S-rank and high-risk incantations, making them unconventional combat forces.

Even Principal Angers found it difficult to deal with them.

In addition to these, the academy also assigned a sniper, armed with a heavy sniper rifle, ready at any time to deliver alchemical bullets forged from the Philosopher's Stone into Morikawa Yu's body.

This can be described as a deadly trap set for Morikawa Yu!

They will launch a swift and decisive attack as soon as Mr. Turing's negotiations fail!

However, Morikawa Yu did not panic at all.

To him, these three guys who had just rushed out were too slow.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward and slashed, dodging right past the "battering ram" with a crescent moon strike that severed its outstretched arm, which was even larger than that of the giant ape!

Then, he lowered his head to dodge the blades that "Edward" attacked from the side, and with a swift motion, he slashed down with his Crescent Moon sword, cutting those blades in half as well!

"Roar!" The battering ram roared angrily.

Edward roared as well.

But Morikawa Yu completely ignored them and charged toward the last figure wielding a rapier.

The other person was also rushing towards him.

A flash of light, and the two passed each other.

Morikawa Yu swung his sword and his blood vibrated.

The figure wielding a rapier, known as the "Silver Ghost," froze in place, shuddered violently, and collapsed with a thud.

"How can it be!?"

In the central control room, Beowulf was stunned.

He hadn't expected the battle to be so devastating once it began.

In his shock and anger, he recalled the battle between Morikawa Yu and Principal Angers and suddenly realized that Principal Angers had forced Morikawa Yu to defend himself by using the extreme speed of time zero.

Aside from time zero, in terms of strength, physique, reaction time, and endurance, the principal is inferior to Morikawa Yu.

The three "immortals" are not even comparable to the principal.

It's not surprising that this one-sided situation has emerged.

Soon, Morikawa Yu started moving again, rushing over the high wall that had been knocked down by the "battering ram" and arriving at the flat ground outside the academy.

"Battering Hammer" and "Edward" gave chase.

However, the next moment, Morikawa Yu turned around and waved the Mikazuki sword in his hand at them.

He had already arrived outside the academy, where the alchemical matrix and the Word of Power: Commandments had little effect on him.

He felt the wind around him.

In an instant, the wind surged from the tip of Mikazuki's sword!

A storm is coming!

"Battering Hammer" and "Edward" staggered a few steps backward and were instantly swallowed up by the gale.

Morikawa Yu's figure flashed, and he arrived beside them.

—Gale-force Slash!

His figure weaved through the storm, unleashing rapid combos before finally bringing down a heavy slash!

He cleaved the battering ram in two, tearing it to pieces!

Edward was in slightly better shape, but his limbs were all broken, and he was being trampled underfoot by Morikawa Yu.

It still tried to struggle.

Morikawa Yu swung Mikazuki and severed its head.

In the central control room, Beowulf roared, "Where's the sniper?! Fire!"

Although the three "Immortals" have been taken down, the sniper hasn't yet taken his shot; that's the real killing move!

On the other side, the sniper pulled the trigger before Beowulf could even roar.

This alchemical bullet, forged from the Philosopher's Stone, was three times faster than the speed of sound. It tore through the air, creating a whistling sound, and hurtled towards Morikawa Yu outside the school.

But just as it was about to hit Morikawa Yu, it was blocked by a wall of wind.

Beside Morikawa Yu, a beautiful white-haired girl wearing a kimono appeared, holding a half-real, half-illusory katana.

The wind wall was released by Tsurumaru.

She kept a watchful eye on Morikawa Yu's surroundings, and finally used the wind to create a wind wall, blocking the bullet that would be fatal even to a dragon lord.

In the central control room, Beowulf fell silent.

He punched the control panel.

"who is she!?"

"Why did she suddenly appear next to this dragon?!"

But no one could answer him, because they had never seen the girl either.

No one knows why she suddenly appeared.

Finally, a professor cautiously asked, "What should we do now, Mr. Beowulf?"

Beowulf stared at him coldly: "Release more 'Immortals'!"

"If three immortals couldn't trap him, I refuse to believe that thirty immortals couldn't!"

The professor nodded, then couldn't help but say, "But we don't have time."

"Even if we release more immortals, we probably still won't be able to catch up with Professor Morikawa."

Beowulf turned around abruptly.

Morikawa Yu was no longer seen in the surveillance footage...

......

On the other side, Morikawa Yu held Tsurumaru's hand.

After leaving the academy, he casually made a spatial mark on a tree by the roadside and took Tsurumaru into the space of the Goshuincho.

Tsurumaru: "Master, did I help?"
