Volume Three: The Academy Goes on a Rampage - whyyoutry

"A quick victory? Ha! Are you underestimating me?"

Pansen roared and swung his fist straight at Haoyue, but Haoyue simply shifted her feet slightly and easily dodged the terrifying force of the punch.

"Silver Moon - Moon Mist".

"Huh--?"

The silver runes shattered, transforming into a silver storm of light that instantly enveloped Pansen. The raging wind whipped the swaying Pansen, slamming him violently into a building on the street. With a deafening crash, Pansen was buried in the rubble.

Quiet--

"Is that all?"

Haoyue, seemingly bored, toyed with Snow Moon and turned to the pink-haired girl who had been watching, saying, "See, Xiao Ye? I told you I could handle this kind of guy. And he's supposed to be the president of the Martial Arts Society'— "

Boom!!!!!

Thousands of rubble flew in all directions, and the ground was swept away by a mysterious force in an instant. At the very center of the explosion, a figure slowly stood up.

To be precise, that was no longer human.

At the very least, no one would mistake a three-meter-tall monster with a purplish-blue face for a human.

"Hahaha... hahahaha..."

The monster— Pansen— writhed its mutated body as it emerged from the rubble, its expression one of pure pleasure, seemingly enjoying the immense power flowing through its body.

"Hahahaha!!! That was truly amazing! Your attack just now was so powerful that it directly amplified my physical body to the point of mutation! Fantastic! You're absolutely amazing!"

Pansen bent down, assuming the starting stance for a 100-meter sprint.

"Come on, taste it! I'll repay you a hundredfold for all the attacks and malice you've inflicted on me!"

Rumble rumble rumble rumble!!!!!!

If Pansen's charge was like a tank before, now it's like an intercontinental ballistic missile! Anything in his way—trees, bricks, fences—is reduced to ashes the instant he gets close! He's at his strongest right now!

"Oh dear, oh dear..."

Haoyue sighed softly, rubbing her forehead.

"We've already suppressed the power to the minimum to reduce damage to buildings, so why aren't you appreciating it?"

A silver rune radiating a chilling aura was attached to the tip of Snow Moon's sword.

"Silver Moon - Moon Freeze."

Just a split second before the monster's heavy punch struck Haoyue--

The tip of Snow Moon's sword lightly touched the ground.

A crackling sound.

Like the sound of shoes stepping on thick snow.

A thin layer of silvery white clung to the ground, spreading out from the tip of the sword, as if covering the ground with a layer of silver frost.

Pansen stepped on it.

Then, he remained frozen in place.

Even though it had only stepped on it, its entire body stopped moving, only trembling slightly, as if it were struggling desperately.

"This... is... what kind of damn bitch did you do?!"

"Silver Moon·Moon Freeze, absolute low temperature. Just a touch of it will freeze your entire body. You can still speak? Amazing, truly amazing."

"Don't underestimate me... I can break free from something this weak!"

"I forgot to remind you, flesh that comes into contact with moon-frozen tissue will quickly die from the low temperature. You probably can't see it from this angle, but the moon-frozen tissue is still spreading up your leg."

Indeed, the silvery-white color slowly spread upwards along Pansen's legs, and through the thin silver, one could see that the skin underneath had turned grayish-white.

"Oh dear, the frost has already reached your waist... Congratulations, your precious thing down there is almost ruined too."

"I'll kill you!!! I'll definitely kill you!!!!"

"Kill me? You mean... turn me into one of your brothers?"

Brothers?

It was only then that Pansen noticed.

He clearly heard his men screaming earlier, but now that he's outside, he hasn't seen them at all.

What happened?

"Hey, where... did you put them?"

"Them?"

"My little brothers!!!"

"You mean those idiots? Oh, don't worry, they're everywhere now."

Pansen struggled to turn his eyes and look at the ground.

There are many small red spots on the ground that look like rust at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you'll find that they are not rust at all.

They were tiny pieces of meat.

"Are you even human?!"

Pansen, a man who feared nothing, finally felt a chilling fear.

The stunningly beautiful girl before me must not be human.

He could easily shred a human into mincemeat; even he couldn't do that.

What lies hidden beneath that beautiful exterior?

"Ah, that's enough for now. Just freeze that part of his, Moon Freeze—Stop!"

The freezing effect stopped when it reached his waist, but Pansen's fear did not lessen at all; instead, it grew stronger, to the point of almost driving him to a mental breakdown.

"Hey Xiao Ye, I might do some cruel things next, you don't mind, right?"

"Hmm... I can't stop you if you really want to, just don't make too much noise, and don't splatter blood on me."

"Understood."

Then, Haoyue really didn't make a single sound.

Because she had cut off his tongue with her longsword from the beginning, rendering him unable to speak.

Then the violence began, targeting the upper body.

Dozens of bones were broken, teeth were smashed, intestines were ripped out, scalp was peeled off, eyes were gouged out, and finally every inch of muscle was twisted into minced meat. What was most terrifying was that all of this was carried out in an orderly and elegant manner. It was clearly a cruel torture that tormented life, but the girl did it as if she were dining in the most upscale restaurant, her movements incredibly graceful.

"Phew~~~~ Done! Serves you right for bullying my Little Butterfly."

And so Pansen disappeared.

All that remained was a sticky, reddish-black substance, emitting a pungent, fishy odor.

Hurry, hurry, hurry--

Xiao Wu walked straight towards the clubhouse, passing buildings one after another, not even bothering to suppress her aura, ignoring the gazes of passersby!

About a few minutes ago--

"What should I buy today... chicken wings? Duck necks?"

Xiao Wu was wandering around the supermarket, looking at the rows of food shelves, caught in a dilemma.

"Honestly, the discount coupons have all expired. I'd better eat something light..."

Thinking this, Xiao Wu picked up a cabbage and examined it closely.

"The cabbage looks quite fresh. How about we stir-fry some hand-torn cabbage?"

"How about some cold broccoli salad? It's on sale anyway."

"Ah, really? Then this will be our main course today... Wait, Ling Ye!?"

"Did you notice? You're so focused while shopping. You're truly intelligent and kind-hearted. Will you marry me?"

"Get out! (ノ`Д)ノ"

Appearing before Xiao Wu was Ling Ye, who was toying with a head of dark green broccoli in his hand, carefully brushing off the dust and dirt as he said, "Actually, I'm a vegetarian, and broccoli happens to be one of my favorite vegetables. Would you like me to help prepare dinner? My cold dishes are absolutely amazing."

"Who cares about you? Leave me alone! I need to get back quickly!"

"Yes, let's hurry back, or we might not even have anyone to have dinner with."

"Tch, who would... Huh? What did you say?"

"Simply put, your children are in danger, and if you act now, you can still make it in time."

"Hey, what's going on?! At least explain yourself!"

"I just received news," Ling Ye put down the broccoli, his eyes slightly narrowed, "That your World's Little Corner has become one of the Top Fifteen Societies."

Upon hearing those words, Xiao Wu immediately understood the situation and transformed into a black hurricane, speeding away.

Let's go back to the present--

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Do those idiots up there have holes in their heads?!"

Xiao Wu knew perfectly well what becoming one of the Top Fifteen Societies meant. It was the highest honor for a group, but also extremely dangerous. The bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it; once you become Top Fifteen Societies, you become the true target of everyone's ire.

How could a World's Little Corner, insignificant group with only 21 members, lacking any real strength or achievements, possibly become one of the Top Fifteen Societies?

There is only one answer--

"Is someone deliberately targeting us, or one of us?"

Such a small club being named one of the Top Fifteen Societies is bound to suffer a predictable fate. Not to mention the clubs that are eyeing the top fifteen, the resentment from being squeezed out of the Top Fifteen Societies from World's Little Corner is enough to make anyone feel miserable.

But it's impossible for him to have been sabotaged.

First, putting aside Ye and Haoyue, Xiao Wu has indeed offended many people. It's possible that some old rivals might suddenly want to play the "revenge is a dish best served cold" card, but that should be directed at Xiao Wu, not the entire club. That would be too roundabout.

Secondly, even if someone really wanted to mess with them, why go through all this trouble? Labeling World's Little Corner with a high-sounding label to attract other groups to attack and destroy it—this approach seems like taking the long way around. They'd be better off hiring a strong team of professional mercenaries to attack directly.

What's even stranger is that the list of the Top Fifteen Societies has always been compiled by the Society Federation and submitted to the General Council. The General Council then sends someone to verify it. After the verification is completed, the eight members of the General Council will discuss it, and only when there are no problems is it considered officially approved. In other words, even members of the General Council cannot unilaterally promote a student organization to a higher level based on their own wishes!

In that case, the person who wants to target them must be an extremely powerful Big Figure, or someone extremely important and indispensable to the Central United Academy. Does the Central United Academy really have such a person? Even if they do, why would such a powerful Big Figure target their own small group?

"Something's fishy; we must investigate thoroughly..."

We've finally arrived.

As soon as they got close, a strong smell of blood hit them, causing Xiao Wu to frown.

Thump!!!

With a steady landing, Xiao Wu immediately became alert and looked around.

The first thing that catches the eye is two stunningly beautiful women who seem completely unaffected. One of them has her white cheongsam stained red with blood, and combined with her ethereal beauty, she possesses an eerie charm.

Looking at the ground again--

"Who did this...?"

Xiao Wu immediately recognized the crimson stains as human flesh and blood, but it shouldn't be children's, which relieved her slightly. The two people in front of her were perfectly healthy, so the blood and blood must have been left by the enemy.

But who could do something so brutal?

The answer came immediately.

"Tartaglia, is that you?"

"I apologize for making the floor dirty; he really angered me. I'll clean this up; you should go check on the children, you brat."

"... Tsk, then hurry up! And don't use this kind of method again... and if you do, don't let me know."

"Understand~~~~"

Xiao Wu took one last look at the pile of shredded flesh on the ground.

A deep, lingering look.

It's as if you want to imprint this scene onto your brain.

This is done as a way to mourn the deceased.

In any case, since Haoyue has gone on a killing spree, these attackers are definitely not good people either.

Even so--

A very slight hint of 'reluctance' flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes.

Haoyue is so bloody and scary! By the way, Little Butterfly, Little Butterfly, Little Butterfly (^o^)/~
