The Trojan Horse.
This was a legendary story, and the content was actually quite simple.
One side was attacking the city, but they couldn't take it for a long time, so they pretended to retreat and left behind a gigantic wooden horse.
The defenders brought the wooden horse back into the city, and at night, the attacking side's soldiers came out from the wooden horse and opened the city gates. The attacking side's army was able to enter the city and obtain victory.
If one looked at the story seriously, they would feel that there were many things to criticize about this story.
The simple version could be criticized from the beginning to the end. There was also a more complicated version with obvious points to criticize, so I won't go into detail.
At any rate, this was a rather strange story to Seiji. How did it become a world-famous legend in his previous world? It was still a mystery to him.
But a legend was a legend, and the Trojan Horse Stratagem came from this story.
And Seiji felt that this ancient stratagem was quite suitable for the current situation.
Yuen Hwa Secondary was the city of Troy, and Shika Kagura was the Trojan Horse — a very conspicuous and special existence.
Such a special existence … the "Reaper's Curse" would be rather conspicuous for a Yin Yang Master, and it didn't seem like someone sent by the enemy to act as a hidden agent.
But Wanhua Summer Night wasn't as stupid as the legends made her out to be. She did investigate this conspicuous "Trojan Horse," but didn't find any problems with it.
But what if this was the enemy's intention?
The enemy … Wanhua Summer Night's enemy had no intention of having Shika Kagura do anything at school to begin with.
As long as the "Reaper's Curse" remained at school, even if she didn't do anything, it was highly likely that she would cause an accident that would attract Summer Night's attention, distract her, or interfere with the school's battle formation … something like that.
It would be best if this plan worked, but even if it didn't, the enemy still had a backup plan.
That was to have Shika Kagura switch places with the Snow Girl Spirit-branded Retainer at a critical moment, and fight against the Spirit-branded Retainer sent by Summer Night, which was Hitaka Shuho.
Because of that, Hitaka Shuho would fight against the Reaper's Curse without knowing what was going on, injuring him or even …
Just getting close to Shika Kagura would bring bad luck, so what would happen if she was injured … or even killed?
…
Wanhua Summer Night listened to Seiji's "conjecture" and her face slowly turned pale.
"Haruta-kun … there's something you don't know yet."
She slowly opened her mouth.
"Actually … every single one of Genghua's students and teachers are meaningful to my formations … Genghua's formations."
"They … provide spiritual energy for this formation. Correspondingly, the formation has the responsibility to protect them."
Seiji raised his eyebrows.
"Hitaka … and Rona are both the guardians of this spell formation. They will receive additional buffs from the spell formation, and also have the same responsibilities as the spell formation."
Summer Night slowly folded her arms.
"In other words, they're the guardians of all the teachers and students at Yuen Hwa Secondary.
"As for the 'Reaper's Curse' … Shika Kagura is a normal student of Genhana High School.
"If she swapped places with that Snow Girl Spirit-branded Retainer and fought against Hitaka, and Hitaka kills her …"
The Grand Mistress's body trembled slightly.
"What will happen?" Seiji furrowed his eyebrows, but asked in a calm tone.
Summer Night looked directly at his face.
"Hitaka … will definitely die!
And it'll affect the entire spell formation … the entire school!
All the students and teachers at Yuen Hwa Secondary … might suffer terrible misfortune because of this! "
Shika's face was pale.
Seiji furrowed his eyebrows. His expression was calm, but he slowly clenched his fists.
"It seems that my conjecture is more realistic than I thought."
Something flashed in Summer Night's eyes as she nodded.
"Yeah, I … didn't notice this blind spot.
But this is … too frightening … If we really do it to such an extent, Hitaka … won't have it easy either. "
Seiji blinked in surprise.
"I don't know what type of person Hitaka is, nor do I know the average moral standard of a Yin Yang Master, or how low their moral standards are when dueling.
But I believe that believing in Hitaka … and ignoring this terrible possibility isn't something that can be described as naive. "
It was foolish.
Summer Night understood what he was trying to say.
She agreed with him.
"I'll immediately contact Hitaka and tell her to be careful when she finds that Snow Girl!"
The Grand Mistress stood up.
"We also need to pay attention to Shika Kagura's current movements," Seiji said.
He didn't mention that he had already investigated Shika Kagura's absence from school today. That was because the Grand Mistress believed that Seiji had only just learned about the "Reaper's Curse" and made such a "conjecture".
Summer Night nodded again.
"Thank you so much, Haruta-kun. No matter if your conjecture is true or not, you've helped me greatly."
She smiled and said with sincerity.
"I … owe you another favor."
Seiji smiled as well.
"Let's not talk about that, President. If my conjecture is true, then by reminding you right now, I'm actually saving myself … and my friends."
"Er, by the way …" Seiji finally realized what was going on.
"President, you made the entire school's teachers and students … unknowingly become a part of the spell formation, isn't this a little …"
Wanhua Summer Night's expression froze over.
Her gaze wandered about as her face began to flush red, and she seemed to be panicking.
"I … I know that this is a little overboard … but …"
"There's no other way … with the school as the spell formation, that's all I can do …"
"It's just that the students unknowingly provide some Mana; there's no harm done …"
"In return, the array also protected them, not allowing them to be harmed by demons and ghosts … so …"
Seiji looked at her silently.
"Wah … I'm sorry …"
Wanhua Summer Night, the student council president of Yuen Hwa Secondary that everyone looked up to, the Grand Mistress with her long, black hair and black stockings, was tearing up.
"I'm truly sorry, I …"
"Yep, I've received your apology. I forgive you." Seiji nodded.
"… Eh?" Grand Mistress paused in surprise.
"I believe in President Natsuya's character … Although we haven't known each other for that long, I feel that I'm not mistaken."
Seiji smiled gently as he looked at her face.
"You … are actually a gentle girl."
'A relatively kind Yin Yang Master … probably.'
Wanhua Summer Night was stunned to hear this.
Facing the handsome boy's smile and hearing his gentle words, her face … began to heat up in a different way than before.
"Er … yeah … thank you …"
She forced herself to speak and hurriedly turned her head away.
Her face was burning up.
Her heart was beating rather quickly.
Why … was this happening?
