We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

"I have some good news to tell you in advance: you have already passed the interview and will soon receive your offer letter."

Cardiff High School admits a certain number of international students each year, but... depending on whether a student is of mixed race, the class they end up in will also be different.

"With your bloodline, you would have been selected for the preparatory class in your second year of high school. You would have learned the secrets of the dragon world then, but this sudden attack has brought it all forward."

Wine Virtue and the Way.

She explained the mixed-race population again, as well as the specifics of Kassel College, and finally encouraged Chihaya Aine:

"Don't look so scared. Actually, it's a good thing to know now, so you won't be frightened by the teacher in the preparatory class next year."

"I... I just feel like I need to slow down first."

Chihaya Aine's voice sounded weak and listless.

Her shattered worldview was rapidly reshaped by Shude Aki, but now her mind is also filled with her past understanding of the world.

Two completely different perceptions clashed in her mind, leaving her momentarily unable to process them.

"Oh, don't rush. I was shocked when I first heard this news too. Let's calm down first."

"This is what I'm trying to comfort you with," said Shudeya.

She brought Chihaya Aine a glass of water, hoping she could drink some to calm her nerves.

Then she picked up the iPad again and placed it where Chihaya Aine couldn't see it. Unexpectedly, she received a video from Professor Margaret Davis.

[Please do not leak this video. I will come to the hospital in person shortly.]

"What exactly is inside? What could possibly make the professor so concerned?"

A few doubts arose in Shudeya's heart.

When she received news that the fourth-generation creature had appeared nearby, she rushed to the scene, only to find that the fourth-generation creature was already dead on the spot.

Seeing that the unconscious Chihaya Aine was still clutching the revolver, she could roughly deduce that Chihaya Aine had killed the fourth-generation Species with the revolver.

At first, however, she mainly believed it was due to the alchemical bullet, with the Word of Power being merely a side effect.

But seeing the esteemed old professor in such a hurry, Shutoku Aki realized that the girl in front of him probably truly possessed extraordinary powers of speech.

What's in the video?

Shutoku Aki glanced at Chihaya Aine, who was still in disbelief and hadn't recovered, and then clicked on the video.

The video is very short, only 4 seconds long, and what it captures is not the fourth generation of the species, nor Chihaya Aine, but the trajectory of a bullet.

In the scene, ordinary alchemical bullets burst from the gun barrel, but the bullet tails have golden ballistic streaks, just like the special effects in some shooting games.

The fourth-generation species didn't even have time to make any dodging movements before it crashed straight into the bullet.

The bullet pierced through its head in the next instant, and the golden light at the tail created an explosion-like effect, shattering its body into pieces.

"Is this girl's power of words really that strong?"

Only then did Shudeya understand why this fourth-generation species had died so tragically.

"The name of this Word of Power... is it called Holy Judgment? I remember learning it in class before."

"I never expected... that she would possess such a rare power of words."

"Half-breeds with this kind of incantation that guarantees hits are practically born agents. It just so happens that Cardiff High School's preparatory program trains half-breeds as agents, making it a perfect fit for their profession."

Just as the wine was pondering,

Suddenly, the door to the ward opened.

Chapter 157 Chihaya Aine, Training Program

Snapped--

The ward door opened.

Chihaya Aine turned her head and saw an elderly British lady with a full head of white hair walk in.

"Is this... another interviewer from Cardiff High School?"

Chihaya Aine immediately recognized her.

After a period of calm, she has only now begun to regain her senses from the initial realization of the truth of the world.

But then, she sighed inwardly:

"Why did I choose this school in the first place...?"

Chihaya Aine wasn't quite sure why her family had chosen Cardiff High School from among so many schools around the world; it was as if some unseen force had pulled her here.

Since that girl named 'Shudeyaki' was of mixed race...

Then, this old lady with a full head of white hair must also be one.

However, compared to her serious demeanor during the interview, Professor Margaret Davis now had a hint of eagerness on her face.

"I never expected... that this girl's Word of Power is actually 'Holy Judgment'."

She thought to herself.

The power of the word 'Holy Judgment' is extremely rare; it has only appeared a few times even in the records of the Kassel College.

The only person she knew who possessed this power of words was Henkel, the leader of the North American mixed-race group.

This kind of incantation seems to have a guaranteed hit attribute, and there are very few records of it. She only learned about the effect of this incantation from the principal of Kassel College, Angers.

"I originally just thought I would leave the school to relax and... and maybe interview some new students for my alma mater. I never expected to meet such a promising student."

Professor Davis was secretly delighted.

She was not a combatant, but a professor specializing in research, and therefore did not participate in the encirclement and suppression of the fourth generation. Instead, she stayed at Cardiff High School, receiving reports from the British Executive Office.

Upon hearing that the combat personnel deployed nearby had made an unexpected new discovery, Shuto Aki, as the assistant executive officer sent by headquarters, immediately went to the scene.

Meanwhile, at Cardiff High School, she received a video from the British Executive Office, which showed Chihaya Aine firing alchemical bullets with 'Holy Judgment'.

"The revolver used by the Japanese teacher at the British Executive Office... was just a fairly common one,"

"If we could use real alchemical weapons, the blessing of 'Holy Judgment' would be even more powerful."

She looked at Chihaya Aine on the hospital bed, pulled a stool from the room, and sat down next to her.

“Hello, Chihaya-san. I’m Margaret Davis. We’ve already met once before.”

"I don't know if Aki has told you, but I also come from Kassel College and am currently a professor of Word Spirit Genealogy at Kassel College."

Professor Davis had a serious expression on his face.

"First of all, I would like to welcome you as the first student selected for the Cardiff High School Kassel Preparatory Program this year."

“I just saw your application. It doesn’t have any specific requirements for scholarships, but I will grant you a special scholarship that will cover all tuition and fees during your studies at Cardiff High School, and you will also receive an additional $1.5 scholarship each year.”

Chihaya Aine opened her mouth, about to say something.

No, I haven't said I want to attend Cardiff High School yet.

Before coming to the UK, she dreamed of studying abroad, attending a prestigious public school like Cardiff School, and then gaining admission to a world-renowned top university.

But the moment she was attacked by the monster in the fitting room, only one thought remained in Chihaya Aine's mind—

I want to go home!

In that instant, her mind was racing, and she could no longer muster any desire to study abroad; she only hoped to survive.

Furthermore, the UK admissions system doesn't require you to attend a specific secondary school just because you receive an offer. Students can choose based on the offers they receive.

She could have easily declined Cardiff High School's offer and returned to Japan to attend high school.

How come it seems now... that these two interviewers from Kassel College are so certain that I will definitely attend Cardiff High School?

Professor Davis noticed Chihaya Aine's expression.

"Is a scholarship of $1.5 a year a bit too little? Not attractive enough?"

She coughed softly:

"Aiyin, the $1.5 scholarship per year is just the basic requirement. If you perform exceptionally well, it can be increased further."

"Of course, if you go out to carry out missions during your preparatory course, you will also receive a bonus as an incentive."

"And there is no upper limit to the bonuses for carrying out the mission. Believe me, these bonuses are definitely much higher than the income from attending an ordinary university."

"University? Cardiff High School...isn't it a high school?"

Chihaya Aine was confused.

"Yes, that's what I'm going to talk about next."

Professor Davis said kindly.

"I just mentioned the preparatory program at Kassel College, and graduates of the preparatory program will be directly admitted to Kassel College after graduation, with a choice of majors."

"Of course, you don't need to worry about the cost. With the talent you've shown, you'll also enjoy a full tuition waiver and an additional scholarship every year after you enter Kassel College."

"Of course, the scholarship at Kassel College is definitely more than the $1.5 at Cardiff High School. With your talent, you could earn at least $4 to $5 a year."

Professor Davis said.

"Can I choose not to go...?"

Chihaya Aine said weakly.

Taking advantage of the pause in the old British professor's sentence, she was finally able to speak out her true thoughts.

Dragons... hybrids, words of power—they all sound terrifying.

I feel like going back to Japan would be better... There's a band-forming craze going on in Tokyo right now. Even forming a band would be better than getting involved in these weird things.

"that's not allowed."

Saketoki smiled.

"The Cardiff High School application process includes an agreement that states if someone is admitted to the preparatory program but chooses to withdraw, they must undergo memory erasure..."

"Junior, you've already experienced the real world. Don't you think it's a pity to quit?"

"Memory...cleansing?"

Chihaya Aine was shocked, suddenly feeling like she had boarded a pirate ship.

"Do I still have a chance to go back to Japan?"

Chihaya Aine had a long face.

“Of course,” Professor Davis continued, “and given Cardiff High School’s training model, with your Word Power, you’ll probably need to return to Japan for a while after you enroll.”

"Go back to Japan?"

Chihaya Aine was pleasantly surprised.

"Actually, it's a social practice for preparatory students. Since you're from Japan, you can choose to intern at the Japanese branch of Kassel College for a period of time. If you perform well, you can graduate early."

Professor Davis said.

"However... we may have to deal with the Snake Clan at that time, and this needs to be discussed by the academy based on the circumstances at that time."

Chihaya Aine astutely captured a key word:

Graduating early?

Very good!

But the thought of graduating early, which might mean going to Kassel College early... made Chihaya Aine feel a chill.

“Oh, right,” Shudeya reminded him, “that was a simple orientation for new students. Remember to keep all of this a secret.”

"The acceptance letter will be sent to your email soon, but that's just a formality. You've already been added to Cardiff High School's new student list, so just come and register when the time comes."

Wine Deya smiled:

"There's another thing: we covered up the real cause of the mall accident, and the investigation results we released to the public were a gas explosion."

"Your mother is waiting for you to be discharged from the hospital. She cares about you a lot, and when she heard about the accident on the fourth floor of the mall, she cried."

"But a teacher from our Cardiff High School happened to be nearby and got you to the hospital in time. You'll see her soon."
