The teacher turned to Danrito who was standing beside him and said earnestly, "Mr. Danrito, I'm going to trouble you from now on."

"Well, it's your last wish after all."

Danrito waved his hand. "But you and I are different. You're the teacher, and I'm the president. Your job is to take care of these students. I'm definitely not the type to spend all day around these kids."

"That's good enough." The teacher nodded. "It's enough for you to pay attention to the students occasionally."

66. Kami, you came at the right time

The car stopped at the entrance of the Central Student Union building. The teacher and Danrito opened the door and stepped out.

The Valkyrie police students who were on duty in front of the Student Union to protect its safety have disappeared. It seems that a new disturbance has occurred around, and even some police officers who were supposed to be guarding the gate of the Central Student Union have been transferred there.

"I'm really too busy to take care of myself."

He commented on the Central Student Union in front of him: "Without you, the operation of the Central Student Union has fallen to this level. How did they manage the entire Kivotos before?"

"In fact, the current situation is caused by a lack of authority. The Central Student Union sounds prestigious, but in reality, it's just a group of students who manage it. They exist more as a cooperative organization between school districts, and in more specific matters, the Central Student Union doesn't have much say."

The teacher was familiar with the route and led Danrito from the front as they boarded the elevator to the top of the tower.

"Although the Central Student Union has a lot of authority, most of this authority is concentrated in the hands of the Central Student Union President. In the past, these children also followed the instructions of the Central Student Union President."

As the elevator continued to rise, the full view of Kivotos was once again revealed to the two of them. That time, however, Rin and the teacher had taken the elevator during the day, overlooking the entire Kivotos. Now, it was night, and the teacher was leading Danrito on the elevator.

Under the veil of night, Kivotos looked even more solemn and tidy than during the day. The nearly uniform white skyscrapers, like towering towers, lent themselves to a mysterious aura. The starry sky overhead displayed a pattern of patterns, like a vast formation enveloping the entire Academy City. Occasionally, distant explosions could be heard, and lights flickered between the towering buildings. Red and blue—that was the Valkyrie police on duty. The red reflections and the smoke from explosions were the blasts and gunfire erupting somewhere.

"The moonlight over Kivotos is quite unique, isn't it?" The teacher tilted his head and looked at Danrito in the ascending elevator. "During the day, looking out over Kivotos from here is truly breathtakingly beautiful."

Danrito nodded and said, "Indeed, it's a completely different world."

This is a different world, and Danrito is just beginning to fit in.

The elevator doors opened, revealing the student union offices. The teacher walked into the office, still brightly lit, but few people were around. The entire student union was swamped, most of them either busy elsewhere or dispatched to put out fires. Even the guy who usually leisurely ate his mentaiko potato chips couldn't stay out of the action and now lay on the sofa.

The only figure in the room was the first person the teacher saw after arriving in Kivotos.

"cold."

The teacher's call awoke the exhausted child from her desk. Before her eyes lay the reports of what was happening in Kivotos, which had been submitted from all over the place. This intelligence had piled up like a mountain, yet Rin, standing before her, hadn't touched it at all. The usually capable and shrewd acting student council president seemed to have frozen.

Because there are really too many things, too many, so many that Lin can't handle them all. It's even reached a point where he doesn't know who to ask to continue handling these things.

Lin just felt so tired.

It wasn't the tiredness you usually feel after handling all the government affairs. This was a deep-seated exhaustion. A weariness that seemed to have no end in sight.

Normally, there was always a solution to her work. But today, amidst the pile of reports, Rin couldn't find a single solution to the current situation. It was as if none of the answers matched the problem at hand, a despairing feeling.

"cold."

A familiar voice rang out before her eyes. Rin shook her head. The moment she heard the voice, she almost sat up subconsciously, but then she remembered that the owner of the voice was now missing. She shook her head tiredly again: "It seems that I have been working too long and have auditory hallucinations. Should I just put all this work aside and go to sleep..."

"cold!!"

The second sound was louder, and Lin raised his head, slightly adjusted his slightly crooked glasses, and tried to look in the direction of the sound.

"..."

Silence, a brief silence.

"--teacher!!!"

Ignoring the papers and documents that were thrown to the ground when he stood up suddenly, Lin rushed to the teacher almost impatiently, then suddenly stopped.

"Where...where on earth have you been? And why do you look like this?"

Rin naturally saw that the teacher was now standing in front of him intact, but he also saw that the teacher's body had become translucent. Surprised, astonished, and hesitant, Rin was a mess and could only look up and ask the teacher in front of him.

"To cut to the chase, Rin, I'm... running out of time."

The first sentence was enough to shake off all of Rin's doubts. It wasn't that the teacher didn't want to use graceful words, but right now, his time was extremely precious.

"you……"

The joy of regaining what he had lost had just begun to appear in his heart, but in the blink of an eye, he was overwhelmed by the huge sadness of losing everything. He staggered back a few steps, supporting himself on the table behind him with his hands.

"Why... do you say that? Did I do something wrong? Did we disappoint you?"

As if she was a little dazed by the successive blows, Rin began to talk nonsense: "The student council president left, and now even the teachers are leaving..."

"That's not the case, Rin. I'm really sorry that I didn't do anything about it."

The teacher's voice came, and he sincerely apologized to Lin: "It's because I couldn't help that you are now like this."

"Please don't say that..." Lin shook his head repeatedly, "Before you came, our situation was even worse than this..."

"My body was too badly injured before, and it was beyond repair. So I asked the gentleman next to me to make some small adjustments to my body. Although I still couldn't be saved, I have managed to hold on until now."

As the teacher said this, Rin finally noticed Danrito, who had been silent for a while. This adult exuded a completely different aura from the teacher. He leaned against the wall, arms folded across his chest, watching the conversation between the teacher and Rin. Only now, when the teacher mentioned him, did he raise his hand and wave to Rin.

"Hey, I didn't bother you because I saw you were talking to him. How was the conversation going?"

67. Protect the Holy Tower of Xialai!

Lin looked at the teacher in confusion: "Teacher, who is this adult?"

"Just now, I have passed the authentication of the Shiting Box to Mr. Danrito. Even if I leave Kivotos, Xialai's authority can still continue to operate."

As if to confirm his teacher's words, Danrito pulled out the Shitei Box, the tablet. He unlocked the tablet and saw Alona staring dazedly at the screen. "What happened? Do you need my help?"

"You just transferred the rights to the Shiting Box to him like that?" Rin felt a little absurd as he watched the magical scene unfold before him. But when he thought about how even the teacher had become like this, the thought of this adult who had appeared out of nowhere made sense. "The Shiting Box is an important item passed down from the student council president. Isn't this a bit too arbitrary regarding its ownership?"

"In an emergency, we must act swiftly. Don't worry too much about this." The teacher smiled gently and put a hand on Rin's shoulder. "Let me tell you something: Mr. Danrito is a kind man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. If you ask him sincerely, he will help you."

"Hey, stop labeling me randomly."

Lin said dazedly, "Teacher... from now on, do I have to call him teacher?"

"I don't think he can be considered a teacher yet. Calling him teacher is indeed a bit inappropriate."

In Kivotos, the most binding rule is between teachers and students. Being a teacher is rare, or at least insignificant, because a teacher's authority lies in managing students, a fact that applies to every school district in Kivotos.

Just as Heifu said, the teacher originally possessed the ability to rule everything and reign over Kivotos. This statement is not an exaggeration, it can only be said to be appropriate.

If the teacher wanted to do so, he could always turn the entire Kivotos into his own backyard, carry out his "education" here, and turn it into any place he wanted. But the teacher gave up this power that was within his reach and truly became a teacher.

"So, even if I told them, those guys from the Mathematical Society definitely wouldn't understand."

The teacher reached out and rubbed Lin's head. His body had become increasingly transparent, and it was obvious that he didn't have much time left.

"Mr. Danrito, please help these children." The teacher looked at Danrito and said, "In the future, they will definitely help you in some way."

"Sigh..." Dan Lidou scratched the back of his head and smacked his lips, "Alright, alright, just think of it as finding something to do. If there's no benefit, I won't let you go!"

The tablet was placed on the table. The already activated Shiting Box was the key to activating the Holy Tower of Charais, including all the permissions left by the Student Council President. It was precisely because most of the Student Council's power had been blocked that Rin and the others were in this state, where even small-time thugs could impunity and storm the Central Student Council headquarters.

"So, what's this weird power structure of your Central Student Union?"

Hearing this, Danrito couldn't help but frown. "All authority is concentrated in the hands of the student council president, and now this student council president has disappeared? We finally found a teacher, and now this teacher..."

Danrito turned his head to look to the side. The teacher, who was becoming increasingly transparent, was still struggling to maintain his existence, but now it was almost the end. "Then this teacher is gone too. What are you going to do?"

"Actually, the student union's power and responsibility structure is quite reasonable. Comprising the District Council, the General Office, the Executive Committee, the SRT Special Academy, and Xia Lai, it should be perfect. But after implementing it..."

Lin's face was filled with embarrassment and sadness: "Obviously, we didn't want this to happen..."

"The re-takeover of the Central Student Union and the Chalais Saint Tower has been completed. Authority is being restored—restoration complete."

Alona's voice emanated from the Shiting Box. Even when working seriously, Alona's voice was still very serious: "Teacher... Oh, Mr. Danrito, do you need me to report?"

Dan Lidou folded his hands and said, "Read it."

"Alright," Alona's voice came. "Currently, there have been seventy-two violent attacks in the D.U. area under the Central Student Union's control. Thirteen of these attacks involved heavy firepower and armored vehicles. The Valkyrie Police Department, responsible for policing the D.U. area, is currently at a disadvantage."

"At the same time, three violent armed groups equipped with heavy firepower and armored vehicles have been discovered attacking the Holy Tower of Chalai. The Valkyrie police responsible for guarding the Holy Tower are currently at a great disadvantage. This is currently a top priority matter."

"Report completed."

Hearing Alona's words, Lin on the side suddenly became anxious: "Xia Lai must not be taken away by anyone, we must organize reinforcements immediately..."

Lin had to stop talking when the words came to her lips, because at this time, her smart and capable mind remembered that the Central Student Union had few cards to use. The few special forces on hand had been sent out to put out fires across the district, and the Valkyrie police were also fighting in various places. There was really no more manpower to solve Xia Lai's problem.

"Where else can we spare some manpower..."

Lin pursed her lips, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. Finally, she took out the pistol she had placed in the cabinet, checked the bullets in the gun, and then stuffed the magazine in with a click, as if she had made some kind of decision.

"Even if I'm alone, I must protect the Holy Tower of Xialai!"

Rin turned around and said to Danrito, "Then please stay behind me. I will protect you. Mr. Danrito, you will be in charge of commanding me to fight, just like my teacher used to do."

Lin turned to the teacher again: "Teacher, can you... still keep up?"

"That should be... okay, right?" The teacher glanced at the timer he had forgotten about. "For him, it should be enough."

"Him?" Lin asked in confusion, "Could it be... there are other experts?"

Danrito stood up.

"You said you wanted to protect me?"

The expression on his face looked extremely disdainful.

"You should have said, 'Please leave this to me!'"

Alona had already marked the location of the Xialai Saint Tower to Dan Lidou. Since both sides were electronic life forms, Alona's information transmission was even faster than the teacher's direct operation of the tablet.

Lin quickly dissuaded him, "But you are not our 'student'. If you get hit by a bullet..."

"Don't worry about that kind of thing."

Danrito reached out and took out his driver, casually buckling it around his waist.

'Game Drive!'

"Now's a good time to try out this new power—" Danrito turned around and waved the "Star Guide" cassette in his hand to his teacher: "So I used it?"

The teacher smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Feel free."

Walking towards the floor-to-ceiling glass beside the bed, Danrito hooked the cassette tape on his finger.

“grand 2.”

Danrito's confident eyes were reflected on the glass. The cassette fell and was inserted into the drive. Then, Danrito immediately pulled the upgrade handle.

"hen·shin."

Gachan!

Level Up!

Ride the Stars!

A shimmering azure light beam passed through Danrito's body, transforming his purple armor. While purple and black remained the primary colors, a golden star was embedded in the forehead of his head armor. Meanwhile, his combat uniform gained gradient blue stripes, and his shoulder armor became thicker.

In his hand, there was an additional kite-shaped shield with blue as the main color. AB buttons were installed on the left and right sides of the shield, and it seemed to have the transformation function that gashacon weapons usually have.

【Gashacon Holy Shield! 】

"Even your weapons are shaped to protect others. How much do you really like protecting others?" Tan Lidou looked at the teacher. "Forget it, let's just make do with it. Let's go!"

Without breaking the glass, Danrito turned into a burst of collapse-source virus, drilled into the network cable, and quickly flew along the network to the location of the Xialai Holy Tower, leaving Rin and the teacher staring at each other in surprise.

Rin pushed up his glasses. "Has Mr. Danrito always been like this?"

The teacher smiled and said, "You'll get used to it. You'll get used to it."

68. Face-to-face (sure)

Transformed into the electronic virus form of the Collapse Source, Danrito swiftly moved through the network of Kivotos. Precisely because of the highly intelligent nature of Kivotos's academy city, network lines were practically everywhere. After just a few jumps, Danrito had already rapidly approached the Holy Tower of Charais—or, more accurately, the Tower of the Sanctuary.

"Mr. Danrito, can you hear me?"

Rin's voice echoed in Danrito's ear, "We already have information about the enemy that caused the riot."

"I took the initiative and let Rin in on the line. Is that okay?" Arona's voice came from the other end. "I figured it would be better to ask her directly rather than me gathering intelligence again."
