Ch 121: Secret

Did it work?

Noticing that the person in his arms finally stopped struggling, Mi Ya Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Not daring to let go of his hand, he finally had time to focus on the strange stone. Eric, arriving late behind him, saw Wu Ke Na Na lying on the ground.

“Wu Ke Na Na?!”

After confirming she wasn’t injured, Eric finally regained a bit of composure and looked around.

“Eric, that stone…”

Just as he was about to say the stone was strange, Eric picked it up and put it in his pocket.

?

Nothing happened?

“I’ll handle this.” Unclear about the cause and effect, the lingering anxieties in his heart caused Eric to subconsciously associate Wu Ke Na Na’s incident with her Dark Gene.

No one can know!

“That stone has a tempting effect, keeping it on one’s person is dangerous…”

“Mi Ya Xing, I’ll handle this. But, why is Student Rui Bu Si here? What… happened to her?” With most of his attention on Wu Ke Na Na, Eric didn’t notice Rui Bu Si’s strange state.

He only wondered why Mi Ya Xing was covering her eyes.

—He saw Mi Ya Xing suddenly discover something and run towards the Teacher’s Office, so he followed.

“It should be because of her own perceptive abilities; she seems especially susceptible to the bewitchment of evil forces.”

Thinking back to the Infinite Egg incident, Eric nodded. Actually, he didn’t have much energy to think about this; he helped Wu Ke Na Na sit on a chair, his mind full of whether the thing in his pocket was related to the Dark Gene, and whether something was wrong with Wu Ke Na Na.

Pressing his lips together, Mi Ya Xing took Rui Bu Si to a place slightly away from the Office.

“Are you feeling better now?”

The person in his arms nodded: “My head is a little dizzy.”

Suddenly having the confidence to single-handedly fight the Dark Emperor, he hadn’t yet recovered from his overly inflated confidence.

The Dark Legion, suddenly heading towards the Office, was dealt with by the Old Soldier who suddenly appeared; the chaos ended as abruptly as it began.

“Should we go to the Infirmary?”

He was full of questions he wanted to ask: Why did she run towards the Office? Why did Teacher Victoria want that stone? Did she know something?

And… was it a coincidence that he chased after her?

After calming down, his thoughts raced, and in the end, he only asked the least important question.

“Um… forget it, the Infirmary must be very crowded now, and I’m already fine.” It’s just that he still had the urge to go back and take the Nether Moon Stone.

“I want a coffee.”

“Now?” Mi Ya Xing was about to go back to investigate what happened to Teacher Victoria.

“Can’t I? You haven’t given me a birthday present yet!”

“Okay, are you sure that’s all you want?”

Thinking of what Eric said at the time, he suddenly didn’t want to go back.

Eric was hiding something from him.

It was related to Wu Ke Na Na.

They excluded him, rejecting even his concern.

The person beside him responded, “Mm.”

Mi Ya Xing looked over and couldn’t help but wonder, what about her?

Did she also have a secret that everyone else knew, but that excluded him?

The Principal’s Office door was knocked on urgently. The conversation stopped, and with a word of permission, Eric rushed in.

“Principal Kendouji…” His urgency abruptly stopped when he noticed another figure, “Elder Ous.”

With others present, Eric didn’t know what to say.

“What? Does Meng Academy have any more secrets you can’t tell me?”

“No, it’s just…” Eric couldn’t think of a good excuse for a moment.

“Oh, I’m not allowed to know, is that it?” Standing with his hands behind his back, he snorted coldly and left.

He didn’t bother to know.

“Elder Ous…”

“Hey, it’s okay, Eric. You came to find me so urgently, is something the matter?”

Ousgaida had been sarcastically taunting for a while now; he left, so it wasn’t a big deal.

Carefully taking the stone out of his pocket: “Principal, this fell to the ground after Teacher Victoria used the Fluffy Curse on Wu Ke Na Na.”

It was just a regular Fluffy Curse; Wu Ke Na Na had recovered, and Teacher Victoria was locked in the Detention Room.

“This stone…”

What exactly was it? Did Teacher Victoria use it to activate the Dark Gene within Wu Ke Na Na, or… was it already placed on Wu Ke Na Na?

Kendouji’s face was serious as he took it: “What’s coming, will always come.”

He said too much, and it was as if he said nothing.

“I will hand this over to the Council of Elders. Eric, please pay more attention to Nana’s condition during this period.”

The Nether Moon Stone could no longer remain inside Nana.

Thinking of what happened at the Council of Elders, Kendouji couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

Elder Ous made a big fuss about him agreeing to Gulake’s entry into Meng Academy, leading to the Vampire Army invasion and subsequent attack by the Dark Clan. While the Council of Elders was meeting, news of another Dark Clan invasion of the campus arrived.

Originally, some elders sided with him, believing that the two invasions resulted in no significant student casualties, proving his ability to serve as headmaster of Meng Academy. But, once the news of this new Dark Clan invasion came out…

Victoria was wearing the Magic Imprisonment Ring given by the Grand Elder; why did the Dark Curse Seal, which had been dormant for years, suddenly activate?

Kendouji vaguely felt like he was about to grasp something, but a shocking wail interrupted his thoughts:

“It’s no good! Principal Kendouji!!!”

“Director Pa,” putting away the Nether Moon Stone, he sighed helplessly, “What’s wrong again?”

“Then, Principal, I’ll leave first.”

“Alright, but Eric, this matter is very important, please don’t tell anyone about it.”

“I understand, Principal Kendouji.”

After Eric left, Kendouji turned to meet Director Pa Hua Luo Di’s curious gaze: “What matter needs to be kept secret?”

“No, no, Principal, I have absolutely no intention of prying.” This person’s expression wasn’t right, it seemed he couldn’t know, “I’m here to tell you something else.”

“Elder Ous took the Meng Warriors into Meng Academy?”

“How did you know?”

“He’s also planning a meeting to encourage the students of Meng Academy to join?”

Pa Hua Luo Di was stunned, then complained, “Since you know everything, why did you let him get away with it?”

“Meng Academy having more strength to fight against the Dark Emperor isn’t a bad thing.”

Hearing this familiar statement, Pa Hua Luo Di shook his head and sighed, “It’s not a bad thing? That Elder Ous clearly has no good intentions! Why aren’t you worried at all? Oh, in my opinion, you’re being a really…”

“A worse Principal than you would be, right?”

“Of course… no, that is, Principal Kendouji, I didn’t mean that.”
