Three-colored ribbons were hung in the corridor of the student dorm like ripples, the students walking along the streets were overflowing with smiles.
The anniversary celebration had arrived.
Not only could the students have a three-day break without classes, but they also didn't have to wear the school uniform during the three days, they could wear whatever they wanted and there was no curfew at night. It was a rare opportunity for the freshmen who were curious about Theorate's nighttime lifestyle.
Of course, the more important thing was the fireworks, the floats, and the food competition.
"Maica, are you really going to join the food competition?"
Standler, who was wearing a windbreaker and holding a ghost mask in his hand, was trying his best to smear paint on his exposed hands to match the ghost mask. He then turned to Maica and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Em.
It's a rare opportunity. "
Maica, who was sitting cross-legged, nodded. His breath wasn't messed up at all as he spoke.
"But have you ever thought about what kind of powerful opponent you will run into?
Although there are judges in the competition, accidents will still happen! "
Standler sat in front of his friend and asked in a serious tone.
"Powerful opponent?
I'm more than willing! "
"Accidents?
I'll treat it as training! "
Maica's expression was firm, he wasn't shaken at all.
"Then … Then have you ever thought about what you will do if you run into the First Seat?"
Standler knew he shouldn't ask when he saw his friend's overflowing battle intent, but he couldn't hold it in because what he asked might very well turn out to be the truth.
Maica's expression froze, his breath messed up.
Four to five seconds later, the First Seat said, "If I run into the First Seat, I'll give up."
Maica didn't hate a powerful opponent, he even liked it.
However, Kieran wasn't powerful, it was despair!
Maica wasn't an idiot, he knew what to do in the face of despair.
Standler heaved a breath of relief and tapped his friend's shoulder. He was really worried that his friend would start a war with the First Seat regardless of the consequences.
One needed to know that the First Seat might be harmless during normal times, but when he entered battle mode, he was ruthless and merciless.
The bodies were the best proof, especially the accidental death of Professor Duyer a few days ago.
Especially after the accidental death of Professor Duyer a few days ago, Standler, as the chief assistant, knew some inside information that others did not.
Although most people said that Professor Tyrese handled the situation appropriately to prevent the neutral professors from causing trouble, he knew that Tyrese had visited the neutral professors one by one at night. After that, the neutral professors finally gave up.
As for what happened?
He had no way of knowing.
However, he knew that the next day, when the neutral professors appeared in front of people, they were all sitting in wheelchairs or had their arms strapped.
These professors told the public that there was some problem with the experiment.
But he didn't believe it.
The next day, when he went to the First Seat for his signature, he clearly heard the First Seat muttering things like 'I'm returning a favor', 'I can't bring trouble to the good guys', 'But it's quite a decent profit, I really want to kill all of them!', and so on.
Standler didn't understand what it meant to return a favor or gain, but he knew Professor Tyrese was a good guy. Needless to say, the rest was obvious.
The only reason the neutral professors could attend the anniversary celebration in wheelchairs was thanks to Professor Tyrese.
Otherwise, they would have followed in Duyer's footsteps.
Therefore, Standler had to admit that Professor Tyrese had dealt with Duyer's accidental death appropriately.
After all, their First Seat showed mercy because of Professor Tyrese.
However, there weren't many things that could earn the First Seat's mercy.
The Gourmet Battle this time?
Standler sighed as though he had pictured a tragic scene in his mind.
Kieran sighed as well.
If it was possible, he would like to solve all the problems in a more direct manner, but unfortunately, the opponents he encountered were more cautious and cunning than the last. He had to play along with them.
With his backpack and many Mystic State exploration tools and necessities, Kieran quietly left the student dorm. He went to a hidden spot and nocked an arrow.
Sou!
The arrow was fired and Kieran chased after it like the wind.
The students were looking forward to the start of the anniversary celebration, none of them noticed the arrow that was fired and Kieran tailing it.
The arrow didn't draw an arc in the air like normal arrows, instead, it kept changing directions in the air, as though an invisible hand was controlling the arrow.
It took a whole minute for the arrow to land on the ground.
The moment the arrow landed on the ground, Kieran appeared beside it and sized up the surroundings.
It was still the complicated alleyways of Theorate.
At the end of the alleyway was a small door.
Behind the door should be E-15 Mystic State.
However, Kieran didn't make a move right away. He turned around and under Kieran's gaze, a well-dressed figure appeared.
The figure had a handsome face and his hair was neatly combed, just like the leather shoes on his feet, shiny as new.
"Greetings, Hon. 2567.
I am the emissary sent by the leader of Ryde Family.
Our leader wishes to have a meeting with you. "
The emissary smiled and walked towards Kieran as he spoke.
The emissary was overjoyed when he saw Kieran within reach. In fact, the emissary almost gave up on the mission since he had already snuck into Theorate.
There were people watching the target at all times.
Theorate officials and the Dark Eaters were involved as well.
It was inconvenient for him to make a move.
However, the emissary didn't expect Kieran to go out alone a moment before the anniversary celebration.
Based on Kieran's actions and the [Position Arrow] in his hand, the emissary quickly figured out what Kieran wanted to do.
Enter E-15 Mystic State!
The emissary wasn't a stranger to this well-developed Mystic State.
Most of the third-year students of Theorate would enter this Mystic State for the first time, and it was also the place where most of the professors liked to train their students.
Other than changing positions constantly, which was troublesome, the Mystic State wasn't dangerous at all.
It was the mildest among all the Mystic States.
Of course, it was also the poorest.
As for the constantly changing positions?
After years of exploration, those who were familiar with the Mystic State could locate E-15 without [Position Arrow].
However, entering the Mystic State ahead of time was still difficult for most of the freshmen.
It wasn't impossible, though.
The emissary could even imagine that if the target before him made such a request, the school authorities would surely arrange a better way for him to experience the Mystic State.
Unfortunately, the target was too young, he didn't know how to utilize his advantages.
The stubbornness, naivety, and recklessness of a young man combined into stupidity!
Of course, the emissary didn't dislike stupidity.
Without stupidity, how could he complete his mission?
"Don't worry, we don't mean any harm.
We just hope to get some information from you. "
The Ryde Family emissary was still smiling, calculating the distance between him and the target in his heart. When he reached the most suitable distance, the emissary made his move.
What invitation?
What do you mean by no harm?
Although the leader wanted to meet the target, he didn't mention how to bring the target back.
Bringing the target back was the same.
It would be the same to capture him.
Furthermore, would Leo Ryde and Mofen Ryde's deaths be in vain?
Even though both of them were idiots and trash, they were still members of the Ryde Family!
Since he dared to attack a member of the Ryde Family, he should know the consequences!
Whoosh!
The emissary was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Kieran. His right hand reached straight for Kieran's neck.
A hint of sweetness spread along with the palm.
But after the sweetness, there was an indescribable stench. It was like a rotten, sour, and moldy cake. Not only was it disgusting, but it was also unbearable to look at.
This emissary's palm was the same.
The clean, slender palm had become withered and yellow, with only a layer of skin hanging on it. It looked like the palm of a dried corpse.
However, its speed was even faster, and it even left a strange trail behind it.
Clearly, it was not just a Secret Technique.
"Surrender!"
The emissary sneered as he stretched out his hand and made a grabbing motion.
Then …
The emissary was grabbed by the neck by Kieran. The emissary's hands were twisted in a strange way, as if they were three nunchucks.
Everything happened too fast.
It was so fast that the emissary couldn't even react. Until Kieran grabbed his neck, the emissary wailed in agony. However, the next moment, the wails stopped abruptly.
Kak!
After the neck was twisted, the emissary was thrown on the floor by Kieran.
"You started it!"
Kieran said. After looting the loot, he turned around and headed to the small door.
The door was locked.
It wasn't a common lock, nor would it have a keyhole.
The door was controlled by a mystic lock, requiring a corresponding incantation to open. Kieran didn't know the incantation, so he raised his leg and kicked the door.
Bang!
The door was opened immediately.
Kieran carried his backpack, strode in, and swiftly vanished into the corridor.
A minute after Kieran vanished, Professor Tyrese walked out from the shadows with a troubled look. Senile and Leonard followed behind him.
"Did he notice us?"
Leonard asked with a puff of puffs in his hand.
"Of course!
Didn't you hear what that kid said at the end?
"'You attacked first' is obviously meant for us!"
Senile rolled his eyes and squatted down to check the body. When he saw the three nunchucks arms of the Ryde Family emissary, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
"What a fast and strange kicking technique, it's like a snake jumping out from the bushes!"
Senile couldn't help but comment when he recalled the scene just now.
"But 2567 is still a good kid.
At least he listened to my advice last time. "
Professor Tyrese defended Kieran.
"That's right, he listened to me."
He didn't make the first move and waited for others to make a move before killing them … Although I don't think there's anything wrong with that. "
Senile shrugged and started to check the body more carefully.
Professor Tyrese was even more troubled when he heard what Kieran said.
He thought his conversation with Kieran was a little thoughtless.
He should have been more careful.
Maybe it would have changed Kieran's way of doing things, making him calmer.
"I should talk to him after he comes back from E-15 Mystic State."
Professor Tyrese made up his mind.
"This year's anniversary celebration will be very boring without this brat."
Leonard mumbled as he ate his puff of puffs.
"But maybe it's a good thing?"
Senile's lips moved as he muttered to himself in a soft voice that only he could hear.
After a while, the guards started to move the body.
Compared to their previous astonishment, the guards were very calm at the moment. It was the kind of calmness that they were used to. Too many similar incidents had happened recently.
So many that they were already numb to it.
As for the identity of the Ryde Family emissary?
It wasn't really that surprising.
They had carried two bodies before.
The kind that were thrown down from a building and landed neatly on the ground.
The people from Theorate quickly retreated after the bodies were carried away. The watchers who had been watching the scene also left after a while.
They sent the news of 2567 entering the Mystic State back to their respective organizations.
Many of them heaved a breath of relief.
Some of them smiled without being concerned.
A certain someone waited for another half an hour before he relaxed his brows.
He received accurate information that Kieran really did enter E-15 Mystic State, it wasn't a feint.
"The last element of uncertainty has finally disappeared for now."
The figure sitting in the darkness took a deep breath. He slowly stood up from the darkness and limped towards the outside.
…
Seconds turned into minutes.
The sun rose and set.
When the moon appeared in the sky, Theorate's campus was as bright as day.
The street lamps were complemented by all kinds of colorful lights.
Amidst the colorful lights were all kinds of musical instruments.
Cheerful trumpets and melodious cello were played, and beside them were drums. Students in all kinds of outfits, some even wearing masks, looked like they were attending a masquerade.
When the first float drove out of the freshman dorm, it signaled the start of Theorate's anniversary celebration.
Right at that moment, a black figure that had been waiting for a long time flashed in the shadows of the E-15 alleyway.
The black shadow did not hesitate and headed straight for the first destination of this trip.
Leaky Spoon Alley!
The alleyway in E Block, near the main academic building, was decorated with colorful lights, but compared to the liveliness of the main street, the alleyway was quiet.
Even though one or two figures walked by, the atmosphere wasn't festive at all.
Every single one of the figures was gloomy and ruthless.
They covered their bodies and faces, walked in the shadows and entered the building beside the alleyway.
The gatekeeper was a short guy.
He widened his eyes and scanned every single person that entered the building.
He didn't need to use any code words or reveal his face.
To a Dark Eater, an unusual presence was a sign.
Then, the gatekeeper saw the black figure from the E-15 alleyway.
