"Boom!"
A deafening explosion rang out on the playground of First High School, and the blast wave knocked people to the ground.
Flesh and blood were sent into the air by the blast wave, and then a rain of blood fell on the playground.
The students in Class One were horrified by what they saw. Although it was Magic Sequence, they were still the flowers protected in the school; when had they ever witnessed such a bloody scene?
However, the crisis was far from over. The self-destruction of the Corpse Puppet attracted the attention of Gu Jie, who was controlling Corpse Puppet. He then commanded more than a dozen Corpse Puppet to converge on the playground.
Just then, several Public Morals Committee arrived in time. Before the Corpse Puppet could attack the students, their magic struck the Corpse Puppet first.
However, their magical attacks were no different from those of the teacher before them. The Corpse Puppet had no senses; they only obeyed Gu Jie's orders and didn't care about the injuries they suffered.
Seeing the Corpse Puppet charging towards them recklessly, the Public Morals Committee panicked. They instinctively made way, exposing the students they were protecting behind them to the Corpse Puppet's attack.
Shizuku Kitayama and Honoka Mitsui were the ones who were exposed, and faced with this situation, the two were clearly panicked and at a loss. However, having spent many years together, Shizuku Kitayama had always taken good care of Honoka Mitsui. In this moment of crisis, Shizuku Kitayama instinctively pushed Honoka Mitsui away, completely exposing herself to the attack.
"Shizuku!" Honoka Mitsui exclaimed as she was pushed aside. As she cried out, the shadow beneath Shizuku Kitayama's feet spread out, and her body disappeared into the shadow beneath everyone's eyes.
"Ah!"
The next moment, Shizuku Kitayama's voice came. But the voice was very soft, and it came from above.
Shizuku Kitayama, who had already given up hope and was waiting for the end of her life, suddenly felt weightlessness. When she came to her senses, her body had already passed through Gate of Space and was transferred from the playground below to mid-air.
Her earlier gasp was an instinctive reaction as she regained her senses. But before she could react further, her falling body was caught.
"Are you stupid? If you can't beat them, can't you just run away?"
Yunyi's voice reached Shizuku Kitayama's ears, causing her to immediately open her eyes and look at the man holding her.
"Huh? Yunyi, what are you doing here?" Shizuku Kitayama asked in surprise.
"How did I get here?" Yunyi said irritably, "If I had arrived a few seconds later, you would be lying on the ground waiting to die right now."
Shizuku Kitayama seemed a little embarrassed by Yunyi's words. Her head drooped slightly, and from below, it looked as if she had buried her head in Yunyi's arms. This scene puzzled Honoka Mitsui, who murmured Shizuku Kitayama's name softly, unsure whether she should offer her best wishes to her good friend.
After glancing at the situation below and then at Shizuku Kitayama in his arms, Yunyi sighed softly and fell downwards.
Gu Jie clearly saw Yunyi's appearance through the Corpse Puppet. He was already considering retreating, hiding in a corner, waiting for his chance. Just as he was about to slip away, Yunyi landed on the playground. He put down Shizuku Kitayama and turned to the motionless Corpse Puppet: " Gu Jie, I know you can see what's happening here through these Corpse Puppet. Old man, don't even think about running away this time!"
Seeing this through the eyes of the Corpse Puppet, Gu Jie gritted his teeth; it was a great humiliation for him. He had initially intended to run, but immediately changed his mind. Even if the opponent was a formidable foe, he was only one person. He, on the other hand, had hundreds of Corpse Puppet under his command!
Using " Corpse Manipulation Technique," Gu Jie issued orders to all the Corpse Puppet to launch an indiscriminate attack on the First High School!
The Corpse Puppet that were originally wandering the city rushed towards First High School immediately upon receiving the order. Because Gu Jie was going to attack First High School, these Corpse Puppet were not far away. However, although the order was given, Gu Jie did not show himself. He knew very well that with his methods, he would basically not gain any advantage against Yunyi, an extraordinary opponent. His purpose in attacking First High School was not to fight Yunyi to the death, but to steal the latest magical research data and documents from Japan through First High School's archives.
Moreover, he needed to replenish the number of Corpse Puppet for his future operations. Secretly killing and creating Corpse Puppet as before was clearly no longer sufficient for Gu Jie's needs, which is why he set his sights on First High School. These students were all mages; if he could create Corpse Puppet Corpse Puppet from them, they would be far more powerful than those created by ordinary people!
As for international repercussions, he's a terrorist now, so why should he worry about them? Besides, the attack on Tokyo that he agreed to with the America military is scheduled for today. He can easily shift the blame for the students' deaths onto the America military's actions; he's just using some corpses from the battlefield.
" Yunyi, what should we do next?" Shizuku Kitayama, who had returned to the ground, breathed a sigh of relief and asked Yunyi.
Yunyi glanced at the students on the playground and then waved his hand, saying, "Take the students back to the teaching building quickly. There should be guards protecting them there; it's much safer than staying on the playground."
Having said that, Yunyi turned to leave. But just as he turned, Shizuku Kitayama grabbed his sleeve. "Are you leaving again?"
Yunyi turned to look at Shizuku Kitayama, and seeing the expression on her face, Yunyi sighed helplessly.
" Kitayama, I'm not someone who can be exposed to the public right now. You can't expect me to protect you all forever, can you?"
Hearing Yunyi's words, Shizuku Kitayama nodded slightly. However, she tightened her grip on Yunyi's sleeve.
"After you leave, will we still be able to keep in touch?" Just before releasing Yunyi's sleeve, Shizuku Kitayama asked again.
After a moment of silence, Yunyi nodded slightly. He didn't have much affection for Shizuku Kitayama Yunyi. In his eyes, Shizuku Kitayama was a good friend. It was just a pity that their positions were different. A battle between the Great Asian Alliance and Japan was inevitable, but Yunyi couldn't tell Shizuku Kitayama directly now. Once the news of the battle became public, Shizuku Kitayama would naturally no longer want to contact him.
"Then, please be careful." In the end, Shizuku Kitayama released Yunyi's sleeve. She offered her blessings to Yunyi as he was about to leave.
After Yunyi left, Honoka Mitsui walked to Shizuku Kitayama's side and asked softly, " Little Shizuku, are you alright?"
