Li Yu arranged the work for these senior students and asked Asagi Aiba to process their mobile phones so that they could all connect to the internet.

Li Yu also added all these people to a large group chat, which was then coordinated by Asagi Aiba.

Most of the senior students went out to clean up the Gastrea, while some senior students stayed behind to help. Once the passage was opened, all that was needed was to send the children across.

After receiving the news, the Seitenshi quickly ordered the area to be sealed off. She had no idea that the passage would be opened so easily.

This time, the Seitenshi came in person, and when she saw the Spatial Passage that had opened up in the playground, she was completely astonished. Could she now go there at any time?

Although he had some doubts, the Seitenshi did not rush over. Who knew if he would be subdued on the spot if he went over without permission? The difference in strength between the two sides was too great.

"Shouldn't a passage like this usually be guarded?" Thinking this to himself, the Seitenshi walked over to Li Yu and asked, "Mr. Li Yu, will this passage be permanently located here from now on?"

In response to the Seitenshi's question, Li Yu nodded. He glanced at the Seitenshi and then warned, "That's right, but you shouldn't wander around lately. Someone's already watching you, and quite a few assassins are preparing to kill you."

This guy has no sense of crisis at all. Didn't Asagi Aiba tell her? Li Yu was a little puzzled. Upon hearing this news, the Seitenshi's expression changed drastically.

Seeing this reaction, Li Yu understood. It seemed that Asagi Aiba hadn't told her any of this. Thinking this, Li Yu chuckled. The Seitenshi, however, looked at Li Yu somewhat nervously and asked, "Is this true?"

Li Yu nodded, then said with a smile, "Go ask Asagi about this. But don't worry, Ais and the others will protect you. As for those assassins, we've already sent people to deal with them."

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, the Seitenshi's expression softened slightly. Since Li Yu had said so, there shouldn't be any major problems, right? Having made up his mind, the Seitenshi decided that he should stay obediently in his office and do his work, and not wander off until this matter was over.

She had originally planned to come here to learn about the passage, but unexpectedly heard this news. After learning about the situation here, the Seitenshi and Li Yu left directly.

She already knew what she wanted to know, so she wouldn't bother them anymore. As for going there, although she was very tempted, it wasn't the right time. She had many things to do here and didn't have time to go yet.

Li Yu didn't pay much attention to the Seitenshi, because new children had already been sent over. After these children arrived, Li Yu, along with the senior students and Mahiru Shiina, got busy.

After a brief treatment, they were directed to the Spatial Passage to learn True Magic. The children who entered immediately noticed the passage and were quite curious about it.

Knowing that the passage led to the place where True Magic was learned, the children excitedly rushed over, making things much easier, all while Li Yu was busy.

Asuna has also found her target: the mechanical soldier unit modified by Dottore. Anne Rand Tokyo Area Asuna.

The moment Asuna appeared, she was immediately spotted. As she stepped into the building, a barrage of gunfire erupted. Facing the incoming gunfire, Asuna drew her sword, and with a gust of wind, her speed instantly became incredibly graceful.

Easily dodging some bullets, and cutting down those she couldn't dodge, Asuna then charged forward with an incredibly strange speed, rushing to the nearest burly man. A flash of white light, and the burly man was instantly decapitated.

After taking care of one, Asuna leaped high into the air and swiftly swung her rapier. A streak of emerald green sword energy flashed out, instantly killing the person hiding behind the wall.

A massacre was taking place inside the building. In just a moment, the mechanized unit was completely wiped out, leaving only a blond boy holding a sniper rifle, staring at Asuna with a sleepy expression.

She was completely bewildered. Were all those adults really gone? Was this for real? Who was this person in front of her? How could he be so strong? Was that bizarre speed and attack speed truly within a human's capabilities?

Asuna, carrying her sword, looked at the child. Under Asuna's gaze, the little girl immediately dropped her weapon and said, "I surrender!" A wise person knows when to yield. If this person wanted to kill her, it would probably be an easy task. Moreover, the other party didn't seem to have any intention to kill her; he was only after the others from the beginning.

Upon hearing her words, Asuna stepped forward, sword in hand, and then sheathed her weapon, saying, "Come on, follow me. From now on, you're mine, Tina Sprout Sprant."

Tina Sprout was stunned by Asuna's words. She looked at Asuna blankly and said, "You know Tina Sprout's name? So you came here for Tina Sprout?"

Tina Sprout was somewhat bewildered, not Byakugan who this person was. She had no Remembrance of this girl, yet the other person knew her.

"Oh right, I also know you came here for the Seitenshi, but... we mean you no harm, children. Don't worry, now please leave with me." Asuna smiled and glanced at them.

Tina Sprout was taken aback upon hearing this. So their actions had all been anticipated by others? Thinking this, Tina Sprout couldn't help but sigh. She didn't say anything more and silently followed behind Asuna.

As for escaping? Tina Sprout hadn't even considered it, because she couldn't possibly run away. One enemy could wipe them all out; their terrifying speed meant that even if she ran several kilometers, they could easily catch her.

So Tina Sprout had no intention of running away and silently followed behind Asuna. She was quite puzzled as to what the other wanted from her.

Asuna headed back with her objective, while on the other side, Kato Megumi's mission was also over, or rather, she had a relatively easy time, as Kato Megumi easily infiltrated the enemy's lair using her talent.

Then, with a single slash, he instantly killed the guy named Hiruko Kagetane. The guy didn't even have time to understand what happened before he was completely lifeless. Kato Megumi, who killed him, calmly drew his own knife.

Hiruko Kohina was completely stunned by what she saw. Her most admired father had been crippled with a single slash by a girl who appeared out of nowhere? Was she having a nightmare?

Why was this happening? Kohina was a little confused, but she didn't hesitate. She raised her twin swords and launched an attack on Kato Megumi. Facing this fierce little girl, Kato Megumi easily subdued her.

"Please don't move, little one, or my knife will hurt you." Kato Megumi looked at Kohina, the dagger in her hand already at her neck. With just a little force, Kohina would die on the spot.

"Damn it!! You killed my father!!" But Kohina had gone mad at this moment. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she prepared to attack again without any hesitation. Kato Megumi was also startled when she saw this.

He immediately grabbed his weapon and slapped the twin swords out of her hand, pinning her down. However, Kohina continued to struggle, and Kato Megumi was having a bit of a headache dealing with the situation.

After recalling Kohina's situation, she slowly said, "Do you know? She's not actually your father, she's even your enemy." Kato Megumi spoke slowly, revealing everything she knew. Upon hearing this, Kohina immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "You're talking nonsense! That's not true at all!!"

"His name is Hiruko Kagetane, one of the experimental subjects created by the New Humans. He used to be a member of a mechanized unit. I wonder if you still remember things from your childhood?" Kato Megumi slowly began, recounting all of this.

Hearing Kato Megumi's words, Kohina trembled, as if recalling something that terrified her. Noticing this, Kato Megumi continued, "He stole your other sisters and mother, then used artificial insemination to give birth to them. Finally, he trained you to kill, brainwashed you from a young age, and used a method of raising 'poisonous insects' to kill each other. In the end, only you were left."

At this point, a hint of sadness flashed in Kato Megumi's eyes as she said, "The four people you killed before were actually your sisters. They were all trained by Hiruko Kagetane, just like you."

Kohina listened to Kato Megumi's words, her pupils contracted, her eyes filled with disbelief, and she began to tremble. Although she was a bit crazy and yandere, it didn't mean she didn't understand anything.

Kato Megumi's words brought back many memories for her, including how she was locked in the basement and tortured as a child. At this moment Kohina also remembered everything.

"Liar, liar, you're lying... How could this be... Waaah..." Kohina completely broke down at this point. She still couldn't quite believe it, but the things Remembrance told her that it was all true.

Kato Megumi pursed her lips upon seeing the other person's appearance, and immediately released her, but confiscated her weapon. She had said what needed to be said; whether the other person believed her or not was up to her.

After being released, Kohina collapsed to the ground, completely distraught. Seeing her like this, Kato Megumi knew it would probably take her some time to recover.

After glancing at her, Kato Megumi simply put her weapons and Hiruko Kagetane's corpse into her Space Backpack, then picked up the girl and left. This mission was successfully completed.

"I wonder how the others are doing?" Kato Megumi thought to herself as she led Kohina back to Li Yu's school. Kato Megumi and Asuna had successfully completed their missions, Yukino Yukinoshita naturally followed suit, returning to school after dealing with all the assassins.

However, unlike the others, she didn't bring back any children, because her team didn't have any cursed children, only a group of professionally trained cyborgs.

These people were no match for Yukino Yukinoshita, and she easily completed the mission. Although there were no cursed children in the group, she encountered a kitten on her way back.

A kitten in every sense of the word. When Yukino saw the child, her DNA instantly kicked in. The white fur, cat ears, and cat tail made Yukino's eyes light up. She walked towards the child without making a sound.

To be honest, Yukino hadn't expected to be so lucky. To actually encounter a child like this on this trip? A little girl with cat ears—wasn't that just too amazing?

At this moment, the little girl was rummaging through the city's trash cans for food, like a stray kitten, her clothes dirty and her head covered in a tattered hat.

If Yukino Yukinoshita n't activated her senses, she probably wouldn't have noticed the child's specific situation. When the little girl was rummaging through the trash can, her ears inside her hat were twitching.

In Yukino's perception, this was absolutely adorable, giving her an urge to adopt it. Yukino Yukinoshita silently approached from behind, just as the other person was rummaging through a trash can and finding a bag of expired bread that had been thrown away.

Seeing the food she had found, a happy smile immediately spread across her dirty face, and she said with absolute certainty, "The fortune teller said today is my lucky day, looks pretty good, meow!"

Yukino, standing behind her, fell silent upon hearing the other's words. Looking at the little one in front of her, she felt a pang of pity. Li Yu's actions were indeed correct; those they had killed should have been chopped into mincemeat!

Taking a deep breath, Yukino Yukinoshita slowly asked, "Hello, may I ask your name?"

The sudden sound startled the little girl, her tail straightened instantly, and she nimbly jumped aside, abandoning the bag of bread.

Having dropped the bread, sharp claws sprouted from her small hands. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she stared warily at Yukino Yukinoshita. She hadn't expected to encounter anyone else at this moment!

The little girl looked at the girl in front of her and suddenly had an urge to run away, but... her bread was still on the ground. Her gaze kept drifting to the fallen bread, a conflicted look flashing in her eyes.

Yukino Yukinoshita noticed this scene as well. Looking at the girl in front of her, she sighed inwardly and then took out some food she had prepared earlier from her Space Backpack.

"I meant no harm. Eat this; the others are expired and can't be eaten anymore." As she spoke, she placed the food she was holding on the ground and then stepped back a few paces.

Watching Yukino Yukinoshita's actions, the little girl's vigilance eased slightly. It seemed she wasn't a bad person, but she didn't go forward to take the food Yukino Yukinoshita had put down; she just quietly stared at Yukino.

Yukino won't move unless she moves, but how could Yukino Yukinoshita possibly move that fast? Just kidding, she finally met a cat-eared loli, of course she's going to kidnap her!

"What's wrong? Why didn't you take it?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the other person with a curious gaze, but the other person pursed his lips and didn't say anything when he heard Yukino's words.

Upon seeing this Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but ask again, "Can you tell me your name? Didn't the Seitenshi announce the takeover of homeless children? Why aren't you going?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately lowered her head, pursed her lips, and then whispered, "My name is Midori Fuse... I'm afraid that's a scam." Her voice was very soft, but Yukino heard it all. Moreover, the other girl's eyes changed from red back to their normal color, and the sharp claws in her hands disappeared. From this, it was clear that Yukino was gradually lowering her guard.

Moreover, the other party was willing to communicate with her. Yukino Yukinoshita knew that she had succeeded more than halfway. If the other party was unwilling to communicate with her, that would be a real problem.

"It's a very nice name. My name is Yukino Yukinoshita. I can assure you that it's not a lie. And... going there is actually to learn True Magic, like this." Yukino thought about how Li Yu had tricked those children and made them lower their guard.

She immediately cast a True Magic on the other party, and an ice Magic Array appeared in Yukino Yukinoshita's hand, a sight that immediately made Midori Fuse's eyes widen.

She stared in astonishment at the scene before her, especially after seeing the ground freeze solid. Midori Fuse was completely stunned; she simply couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"This... this... this really is True Magic?" Midori Fuse was utterly shocked, a glimmer of light appearing in her eyes. The legendary True Magic... that's where they send people to learn True Magic?

"Want to learn?" Looking at the other person's expression, Yukino's lips curled up slightly. No wonder Li Yu liked to trick children like this; children have no resistance to such things.

Upon hearing this, Midori Fuse nodded subconsciously, but she quickly froze, hurriedly covering her mouth because she had blurted out her true feelings.

Seeing this adorable scene, Yukino Yukinoshita's lips curled up slightly, and she immediately said softly, "If you want, you can just say so. Many children have already gone over there. Do you want to come with me? Once we get there, you won't have to wander anymore."

Yukino Yukinoshita extended an invitation, and upon hearing Yukino's words, Midori Fuse glanced at the food she had placed on the ground and then at the ice beneath her feet, and finally made her decision.

"Okay... but... I have other companions, can I bring them along?" When Midori Fuse said this, she was clearly more nervous, and her muscles were tense. If the other party refused, she would leave without looking back.
