When Rozen and his party walked out of the chairman's office, it was almost evening.
The fire that enveloped the entire campus had been extinguished.
However, the destruction of the campus was still like a scar, engraved here.
The school buildings were either half-destroyed or scorched black.
The streets were either damaged or broken.
The ground was riddled with holes.
The trees, lawns, and flowerbeds were all destroyed. They were either abandoned or directly damaged. There was not a single trace of the beauty that they used to have.
Everyone felt a little heavy when they saw such a scene.
However, now that Kurenai Shinsomiji had returned, with her ability, she could restore a large area of facilities in an instant. In a few days, she should be able to repair all the damaged parts of Pojun Academy, right?
It was not just Potomac Academy. Every Knight Academy had talents in this field. Otherwise, some of the large-scale attacks from the Sabers would cause great damage every time they fought. If ordinary methods were used to repair the damage, no country would be able to bear the burden.
Therefore, everyone quickly adjusted their mood.
Therefore, compared to the current tragedy on the campus, everyone was more concerned about the conversation just now.
"Alice, are you really going to give up?"
Kazuki couldn't help but ask Iori.
The rest of the people probably had the same feeling, and they all looked at Iori as if they felt sorry for him.
However, she didn't feel that it was a pity at all. Instead, she felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
"Sorry, I really have decided." Iori smiled apologetically and said: "After all, I'm different from everyone else. I don't have the persistence and desire to participate in the Seven Star Sword Martial Festival. It's all because of luck that I can become a representative. So, it's impossible for someone like me to stay on that stage."
This was the explanation given by Youqi Courtyard Lady.
It was just …
"Alice has obviously trained very hard, but now you want to give up the competition, don't you feel sad?"
Stacy couldn't understand why she asked this.
But that made Alice smile bitterly.
"Well, the previous training was really hard. There were several times when I thought I was going to die. Now that I finally made it through, it's really a pity not to compete with others."
The Perching Courtyard Harpy's words were quite sincere.
"However, everyone should have noticed that this time Pojun Academy was attacked, I can't do anything at all except hide in the shadows. I didn't even help everyone fight. It's really useless."
You Qi Yuan's helpless words made everyone speechless.
Thinking about it, things were indeed as Iori said.
Ever since the group returned to Defeating Army Academy and started fighting with the people from Dawn Academy, the Perching Courtyard Centipede had been hiding in the shadows. It hadn't made a move since the beginning, and only came out after the battle was over.
"Originally, I wanted to wait for an opportunity to take advantage of the enemy's weakness and strike when the enemy reveals a flaw. Compared to a head-on confrontation, I'm better at this kind of thing."
You Qi Yuan sighed and said helplessly from the bottom of her heart.
"It's a pity that from the beginning to the end, I couldn't find a single flaw. My opponent isn't easy to deal with. Even in the midst of a fierce battle, I'm afraid he can still take care of his surroundings. I can't find any flaws at all."
That was why Iori had hidden from the beginning to the end, just because she didn't have a chance to attack.
"This made me completely understand that I'm really very weak and can't protect anything. Instead of this, I'd rather be a helper and cheer for everyone. When everyone needs me, I'll be of some use."
Iori said in a carefree manner.
"So, you don't have to persuade me. I've already decided."
Iori's words cut off everyone's words.
Upon hearing those words, the crowd knew that their attempts at persuasion were useless.
This was especially so for Zhu Ying. As the person who had the best relationship with Alice out of everyone present, she seemed to be indifferent.
"Since Alice has already decided, let's listen to him."
Zhu Ying said indifferently.
Considering this young girl's personality, she probably really didn't care, right?
It wasn't that she didn't care about Alice, she just didn't care about the competition.
In other words, regardless of whether Alice chose to participate or not, Zhu Ying would support him. This was his own decision, and no one else had a reason to interfere.
"Since Student Qi Yuan has already decided, let's not force him."
Dongtang Daohua concluded as if he was trying to mediate the situation.
"Whether to participate in the Seven Star Sword Martial Festival or not should be an individual's freedom. Considering the danger and particularity of it, Iori's choice should be the right one. On the contrary, we don't want to admit defeat, so let's support Iori's decision."
With Dongtang Daohua's words as the source, everyone finally began to feel relieved and nodded.
"Thank you, everyone. I will cheer for you in the audience."
You Qi Yuan suddenly smiled, feeling that the smile on her face was more genuine than usual, less half-hearted and superficial.
Thus, everyone accepted the matter of the Perch Courtyard Gui.
Then …
"Compared to this, I actually want to ask another thing."
Dongtang Daohua turned his gaze and stared at a person.
Seeing this, everyone else seemed to have thought of something. They turned their heads and looked over along with Dongtang Daohua.
Iori was still holding his head and blinking his eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Rozen's expression was like a fish in a pond that was caught in the crossfire.
That made everyone have the urge to curse him.
In the end, everyone held back.
On top of that, the outspoken Zhu Xi even spoke out.
"Hey, are you really Heavenbreaker?"
Zhurou stared at Rozen as if she wanted to find a flaw in Rozen's face.
The others also had the same reaction, and they all looked at Rozen with doubt and uncertainty in their eyes.
Looking at the boy standing in front of them, wearing the same student uniform as them, who was about the same age as them, and he might even be the youngest among all the people present, everyone was in a trance.
When they thought that this boy was really the strongest Swordsman in that world, anyone would act like that, right?
For that …
"If I say no now, will you still believe me?"
Rozen said with a smile, which made everyone smile bitterly.
That's right.
Now, even if Rozen said he was not Heavenbreaker, no one would believe him.
Because all kinds of signs showed that Rozen was Heavenbreaker.
Of all the people present, only Stacy was in the know.
"Ahh, I didn't expect to be exposed so soon."
Stacey could only sigh.
The rest of the people sighed about another thing.
"No wonder Miss Ai suddenly appeared in front of us and became our lecturer."
Ichikawa looked at Adwise, who was standing closest to Rozen.
"Miss Ai is here for Rozan Can, right?"
Ichikawa finally understood that.
On the contrary, this made Adwise feel a little unnatural.
There was no other way.
Previously, in order to test Rozen's true identity, Adwise revealed everything about him and Rozen to the public, and everyone knew about it.
Now that everyone knew Rozen's identity and Adwise's purpose, how could they not think about it?
Adwise had a feeling that his private affairs were exposed, and his pretty face was a little red.
Under such circumstances …
"I … I don't know."
Edwyth turned his head and looked hesitant, as if he was trying to change the topic.
But the cute Adwise didn't know at all …
(So cute …!)
(So cute …!)
(So cute …!?)
Looking at Adwise like this, everyone felt that he was so adorable that they couldn't help but feel that he was so cute.
Especially Rozen.
"Aren't you a little too cute?"
Rozen couldn't help but hug Adwise.
"Ah!"
Adwise couldn't help but scream a little.
Naturally, the crowd was struck by lightning once again.
(I screamed …!)
(I screamed …!)
(I'm screaming …!)
The world's strongest Swordsman was really cute.
