Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

"Please enjoy your tea. So, what do you want from me? If you are here to ask me some questions to test my intelligence and information like those people did before, then I can only ask you to finish your cup of tea and leave."

"Oh my~~~ Don't be so ruthless."

Xijing Ningyin opened her folding fan and said with a smile, "But don't worry, we are not here to cause unpleasantness with you this time. I really want to see your original expression again, but Xiaohei will definitely not let me, so this time I am just here to join in the fun."

"If you know how to join in the fun, don't say anything."

Shinguji Kurono sighed softly, picked up the barley tea and took a sip: "——I am here to inform you of the next punishment, [Flame Beast]."

Sanction.

Hearing this description, Sieg frowned slightly.

Although his starting point was not a problem, according to the current laws and rules of this planet, the [Flame Beast Rebellion] he brought was undoubtedly a disaster, and as the instigator, he must be punished.

"Due to a series of follow-up issues that need to be dealt with over the past ten days, your treatment has been temporarily decided to be detention. Do you remember?"

"Yeah, remember."

"But since you will escape the next second after being locked up, and the special handcuffs are completely ineffective against you, and your combat ability is outstanding even among A-class knights, ordinary cells cannot hold you at all, so now you are locked up in the dormitory, and you are not allowed to leave your dormitory before the subsequent disposal - this is your current punishment."

When saying this, Shinguji Kurono actually had a headache.

Judging from Zieg's behavior, even if his starting point was not wrong, in terms of the result, it can be regarded as a terrorist attack. If we really go by the law, he should be directly sentenced.

But the problem is...Sieg is not only a [stateless person], he is also a [minor].

This means that his sentence will be reduced to the minimum effect in the end, which is very frustrating.

On the other hand, Zieg himself actually showed a cooperative attitude. At least in the past ten days, he really did not leave the dormitory even for a single step.

Therefore, after taking all the circumstances into consideration and taking into account Sieg's own special characteristics -

"Sieg Fehr, I will now issue a formal verdict on you."

"From now on, all your privileges as an [A-level Knight] are frozen. At the same time, without the permission of all the directors of Pojun Academy, you are not allowed to step out of Pojun Academy. The use of inherent spiritual equipment and supernatural powers must also abide by the same rules."

"In addition, you are not allowed to attend classes at Pojun Academy in person. You can only stay in the dormitory for remote learning for all courses. A total of 23 cameras will be installed in your dormitory to monitor your every move at all times."

"——The above punishment will last for one year."

When Shinguji Kurono finished the last word, Sieg just drank the last drop of barley tea.

After putting down the teacup, Zieg said, "If it weren't for the last sentence, I would still take it seriously, but the last sentence makes me think that this punishment is nothing but a joke. Miss Shinguji. In addition, do you think that since I will stay in this cell quietly for the next ten days, I will also stay in this cell quietly for the next year?"

"I think so." Shinguji Kurono held his forehead, "That's why Ningyin and I came here - thanks to you, I will be busy for the next three years."

"Ok?"

Zigg was a little confused.

Shinguji Kurono: "Because of what you did this time, the conspiracy between the Kurogane family and the Pojun Academy Board of Directors has also been exposed. After various meetings, it has been confirmed that the Pojun Academy Board of Directors will be dissolved, and more than half of the board members, including the chairman, will resign."

"And it's not just the board members. Some of the teachers who have been in cahoots with the chairman over the years are also the same. It can be said that more than half of the middle and senior management of Pojun Academy have been eliminated. In order to fill this vacancy, and seeing that you are a time bomb, I was hired by the country and the alliance to serve as the new chairman of Pojun Academy."

The new chairman of Pojun Academy?

Sieg raised an eyebrow: "That means..."

"The system that will hinder Kurotsuchi will be abolished, and he can graduate normally. However, there are many processes and formalities to go through, and before that, a new board of directors must be formed and new teachers must be recruited. So in terms of time, it will take until the second half of the year to completely resolve this matter."

"Before that, I'll have to put up with you, Kurogane. Don't show your dissatisfaction. This is already the best outcome. It's useless for you to express your dissatisfaction to me. This is the national situation of this country." Shinguji Kurono stopped Sieg, who had a fierce look on his face. "I really don't know what kind of environment you lived in before, but since you are in this country, please abide by the minimum rules. Everyone has their own difficulties."

Sieg fell silent.

"Also, regarding the agreement between you and the former chairman, you will not be able to compete in this year's Seven Stars Sword Festival because you will still be under punishment at that time. You will have to wait until next year's Seven Stars Sword Festival. But to be honest, this matter is currently under discussion. Your strength is obviously far beyond the level of the students. If you are allowed to compete, it is hard to say whether there is anyone among the students who can beat you."

"That doesn't matter."

Coming back from silence, Sieg put away the murderous look on his face and said, "I understand. Since you have given me a punishment that is almost like a joke, I am willing to cooperate. In the next year, unless something happens that makes me want to take action, I will not do it casually."

"It's okay if you want to do it~~~"

Xijing Ningyin, who had come into Zigg's arms at some point, laughed softly.

"I am now a temporary teacher at Pojun Academy. If you ever feel horny or unsatisfied, just come to me. I can accompany you for as many nights as you want~~~ It would be best if you can bring the gravity user with you, and the three of us can have a-"

Duang!

The iron fist of the World Clock hit Yashahime's head mercilessly.

21. The Joy of Interstellar Travel

Shinguji Kurono and Saikyo Ningyin finished talking about what they needed to say and left.

Not to mention the latter, the former is a very busy man now. He was still busy with the reconstruction of Shinjuku district a few days ago. Now he has been commissioned by the Japanese government and the International Magic Knights Alliance to serve as the new chairman of Pojun Academy. He has a lot of things to deal with in all aspects.

After they left, Zig turned on the TV.

"Beep!"

As the TV screen flickered, Brunhilde's figure appeared in front of Sieg, along with Tina who was sitting next to her and Em who appeared as a projection. As for where the three of them were, judging from the background, it was the bridge of the Kreinhild.

【Lord Sieg】

Brunhilde bowed slightly to Sieg and said: [The relevant information has been received by the Klinhildr, and corresponding solutions have been prepared.]

"Well, hard work."

Sieg nodded. "Although I am aware that I have made some mistakes, I don't think it is my turn to be punished by those high and mighty dragons. But to be honest, I think this punishment is too light anyway."

"After all, this is society~~~~"

Em smiled and said, "On the previous planet, you lived in a no-man's land that was not governed by any laws or rules. In that place, the bigger your fist, the more important it was. No matter what happened, as long as your fist was big enough, you could handle everything."

"But on this planet, this approach is not completely useless, but it is not very useful either. At best, it can only solve a small part of the problem. If you want to completely solve the problem, you will eventually need to follow local laws and regulations."

"For what you did this time, it's reasonable to lock you up in an underground prison for decades. However, since you are a foreigner, a minor, and an A-rank knight, even if you are sentenced to decades in prison, it will be reduced to just one or two years."

"Not to mention, the prison on this planet is totally unable to hold you."

Yes, it can’t be locked up.

After subduing Sieg, the Japanese branch did want to lock him up first, but he was thrown into a cell one second and disappeared from the cell the next, and then appeared in the dormitory of Pojun Academy the next day.

This is all because of the [Transmission Device] on board the Klingshid. As long as this device is there, Sieg can return directly to the Klingshid from anywhere in the world as long as the space is not affected. Even if the space itself is disturbed, the Klingshid can continue to transmit Sieg back after fully analyzing and understanding the situation in the space.

It is almost impossible to lock up Sieg given the level of this planet.

Plus, Siegna's fighting ability is outstanding even among A-class knights...

It is not entirely unreasonable that the final sentence imposed on him is so light.

"However, our previous conclusion that [the combat power of this planet is not high] may now be overturned. Although the number may not be large, there are indeed people whose level is far superior to ours - Miss Tina, what do you think?"

Tina was silent for a moment: "...Indeed. It's hard to say about others, but that dwarf, her ability in gravity magic should not be much worse than mine. She can block 500 times gravity without changing her expression. Even if we are both users of gravity magic, it is impossible for us to be unscathed by the sneak attack."

"But if I really fight her to the end, I will definitely be the winner in the end - it's called [Badao Tianxing], right? Now that I know it, this move is no longer her exclusive move."

Domineering star.

A special skill that pulls space debris floating near a planet to a designated area and destroys everything within the range. According to Brunhilde's investigation, this move is a [Forbidden Skill] that Xijing Ningyin is forbidden to use by the Alliance.

But since they are both users of gravity, it doesn't make sense that Xijing Ningyin can use it but Tina can't. The reason why she didn't use it on her original planet was because she didn't know there was such a way to use it, and she didn't know if there was any space junk near the planet that could be pulled down.

Things are different now.

"Didn't the dwarf say before that if you want to fight, just go find her? Next time you go find her, take me with you. I want to see if there are any other ways she can use gravity that I haven't seen before."

Tina explained to Ziggy.

Em laughed: "Hmmmm~~~ It seems that Tina-chan has already understood the fun of interstellar travel. In your opinion, your abilities may be unique on your original planet, but there may be people with the same abilities on other planets."

"And after meeting such a person, I might be able to discover uses for abilities I've never thought of before, and raise my powers that I may never be able to improve to a new level. The universe is boundless, the Milky Way is vast and infinite. As long as we sail in this starry sky, we can move forward forever."

“That’s what I personally think of [the fun of interstellar travel].”

Is it fun?

(Indeed, if I had stayed in Hell Valley, I would never have encountered such a situation, right?)

This is not to say that Tina feels that life in managing the fourth level of Hell Valley is somewhat boring and tedious. She is still proud of being a second-level dragon of the Roaring Blood Clan. But to be realistic, compared with the entire universe...even compared with the planets, Hell Valley is still too small.

If you don't step out of your comfort zone, you won't be able to raise your strength to a higher level.

"Also, I think you, Sieg, will definitely encounter a similar situation." Em looked at Sieg, "someone who has the same power as you, but uses it in a completely different way."

"I'll look forward to it."

Sieg nodded with a smile: "Then for the next year, we will use this dormitory as a temporary base and live as peacefully as possible on this planet."

[Understood, Master Sieg]

"I have no objection. Just remember to help me find more cute and pretty girls."

"Find an opportunity for me to have a few rounds with that shorty."

Leaving Brunhilde aside, Sieg knew that Em and Tina didn't listen to him at all.

Picking up the remote control, Sieg was about to turn off the TV -

"Dong dong dong~~~"

The familiar knock on the door sounded again.

Ziggy raised an eyebrow.

(What's going on? Someone's here again? Did those two people drop something?)

"Mr. Sieg, you should be here, right? It's me, Kurogane."

The voice of Kurogane Ikki was heard outside the door.

"Would it be convenient for me to come in? I want to tell you something."

(Black Iron?)

22. I want to fight you

Ten days ago, after the [Flame Beast Riot] ended, Sieg hadn't met Ikki Kurogane since then.

Of course, it’s not that the two of them were deliberately avoiding meeting each other, it’s just that Kurogane Ikki returned to the Kurogane family’s main home after many years, so they didn’t meet.

"So you've already returned from the main family, Kurogane?"

"Well, I just got back this morning. This is a specialty from my hometown. Try it."

After placing the snack box in his hand on the coffee table, Kurogane Ikki sat down opposite Sieg: "Actually, I wanted to come to see you when I came back, but when I arrived at the school gate, I was stopped by the chairman... I mean, Ms. Shinguji."

"I know about this. She and Xijing Ningyin just came here and issued a one-year punishment to me."

"It's for a year, is that so... I'm sorry, Sieg-san."

After mumbling for a while, Kurogane Ikki suddenly assumed the Japanese traditional sitting posture, bowed his head deeply to Sieg and apologized: "Because of my business, I made you..."

"Uh, let me interrupt you for a moment, Kurotsuchi."

Sieg stretched out his hand to interrupt Kurogane Ikki's words: "If you feel that I am being punished now because I stood up for you and you feel sorry for it, then there is actually no need to do so. After all, in the final analysis, you did absolutely nothing wrong in this matter."

“…Is that so?”

"Anyway, you haven't done anything that you can call a 'wrong thing', right?" Sieg said with a smile. "If you must say, in the eyes of the people in your hometown, the fact that 'you have too little magic power' is wrong in itself, but this is at best a matter of arbitrary judgment by a bunch of old guys. You yourself have not done anything wrong at all."

"So, you don't need to apologize to anyone. I am just taking responsibility for what I did. Otherwise, there is no need for me to stay in the dormitory for ten days. I want to go out for a walk. Is there anyone who can stop me?"

Of course Shinguji Kurono and Saikyo Ningyin could do it, but could they keep an eye on him 24 hours a day?

Obviously not.

After listening to Sieg's straightforward words, Kurogane Ikki was silent for a while, and a helpless smile appeared on his face: "You are really an amazing person, Sieg-san, completely different from the person I have known so far."

"Huh? Really?"
