Chapter Forty-One Expert

  Although the process was bumpy, the final result was wonderful.

  The girls generously forgave my offense and it was obviously a happy ending for everyone.

  Then, the third jump began.

  The time is set for 1:30 pm on the first day of Mahoroba Gakuen Festival.

  After the jump ended, Hazuki disappeared from my line of sight at a speed as if she was escaping. Akane also smiled awkwardly for a few seconds before suddenly disappearing.

  Although you've forgiven me, it seems like things are really awkward between us now.

  "Sorry, Negi." I said, stroking his head.

  "It's not Teacher Wang Fei's fault."

  You're such a good kid, unfortunately you don't understand the meaning behind my words. I'm apologizing not because I caused you trouble or hit you, but because I kissed your butt.

  Seeing Negi's comforting expression, I couldn't help but let out a sigh.

  "Alas...it's hard to predict the affairs of the world."

  Suddenly, I felt someone silently invading my senses, and I couldn't help but turn around abruptly, with one hand swinging out.

  With a "pa" sound, the newcomer lightly caught my fist and retreated with ease.

  "It's you, Ryūgū no Shinmei." It wasn't until now that I finally got a good look at who the visitor was.

  "You're still so cautious, teacher." Long Gong gazed at me with half-closed eyes, "Looking at you, it seems like you're worried about a girl or something."

  No wonder he's been on the battlefield before, I feel like he's incredibly sharp. "I suppose so," I said.

  "Right... elder sister, we haven't even properly thanked you yet. You helped us out a lot during the school trip and the ghost incident."

  Suddenly, Kamo spoke up.

  "Tanuki, what's this?!" Ryuguin said calmly: "I'm just working... As long as I get paid, I'll do anything and help anyone."

  The mercenary theory of Hong Guo, for which I paid a high price.

  At the mere thought of this, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

  "By the way, Long Gong, you didn't see Yi Wen Jie Lin." Thinking of how foolish I was all day, I'm so angry my teeth are itching.

  If I find her, I must have her in this way, and also in that way, finally in...

  Whip, candle, stool, jump rope...

  Ahhhhhhhhhhhh... That cunning bastard, that bastard Yvaine.

  "No... and then another student who wants to confess appears." Ryuguin Mina suddenly pulled out a strange object, looked at it for a few moments, and then jumped onto a clock tower.

  Negi shouted "Wait for me, Ryūgū classmates!" as he quickly jumped into the tower.

  Following him would be useless, so I turned around and left, going to find Yilin to settle accounts.

  Suddenly, three gunshots rang out. In the residual light, two men and a mascot were seen being hit by bullets and lying on the ground, their lives hanging in the balance.

  I was slightly surprised and then I understood what had happened.

  It's true... the Dragon Palace's reputation isn't undeserved after all. Mercenaries on the battlefield really are efficient and get things done quickly.

  Seeing this scene, I who was originally about to leave suddenly stopped in my tracks.

  Because a very interesting plot suddenly popped up in his mind, the specific situation is not very clear, but he felt that the plot was really interesting, and even changed Negi's view of Ryūgū, leading to strange titles.

  Anyway, there's still some time left, let's just watch the show from now on.

  With this idea in mind, I jumped onto a high-rise building and looked down at Negi and Ryūgu's actions from above.

  As for my watching the play, Long Gong seems to have noticed something, but didn't say anything.

  The two people seem to be getting along well, with smiles on their faces. Nekomimi's way of handling the confession seems to have surprised Ryuguu Palace.

  This is a method different from the battlefield, and it belongs only to Negi.

  Sounds very Negi-like.

  After a while...

  "The 50th anniversary event is about to enter confession time." A loud shout pierced the sky, catching my attention.

  That's right, it's this one, a collective confession of fifty people, and what happens next seems interesting.

  I stared at Long Gong and Negi without blinking, wanting to see how they would handle this matter.

  Just as Nezumi was panicking, Ryugu Palace moved, swiftly drawing the handguns tied to his legs and charging into the crowd.

  All of a sudden, there was a loud crackling sound, and Ryōgū Shinmei's two hands seemed to have transformed into over ten arms, instantly firing off a large quantity of bullets. The fifty men who had wanted to confess were all shot down, flying out in all directions. It could be said that they suffered a complete defeat.

  This... this isn't stopping a confession, it's just mass murder!

  "We're filming a movie, don't mind us."

  After killing countless people, Long Gong deceived everyone with just this one sentence.

  This is the Mahoraga Academy Festival, even prehistoric dinosaurs have come out, what else can't happen.

  "That person is..." Suddenly, I saw a man walking towards Ryugujo, seemingly wanting to confess.

  I remember now, this is a minister who looks very similar to Ryūgū no Shinmei, a deceased contractor.

  The name has been forgotten, anyway it's just a super cliché that comes out and is taken for granted.

  More miserable than a monkey's wife.

  Bang... Just as I thought, at the moment when this man wanted to confess, Long Gong fired decisively.

  Then he said something very expert.

  "My battlefield... is one where men are unnecessary."

  This reminds me of another expert who has been living on the battlefield since childhood, but is far inferior to Long Gong.

  That guy's interpersonal relationship is simply terrible, and he can't adapt to ordinary life at all.

  But what cannot be denied is that he is more professional than Long Gong on the battlefield, from modifying handguns to modifying robots, from shooting to posing robots, and also a comedy expert.

  His name is... Sagara Sōsuke.

  After leaving here, I started looking for Yvonne again, but the cunning guy didn't know where he ran to.

  Of course, another possibility is that I got lost.

  I certainly won't admit it, even if there are really a lot of people here, even if this place is really prosperous...

  I hate getting lost the most.

  Then, I started turning and turning, suddenly a figure appeared in my line of sight.

  Long Dao, member of Red Wing and Negi's senior and friend.

  "Hey, where's Yee Man?" I asked aloud as I walked up to him.

  Maybe he knows where Yvaine is too.

  "Are you looking for Yee Man?"

  "Yes."

  "I'm sorry, I didn't see her."

  "Never mind."

  After saying this sentence, I turned around and left.
