If Mia's silly idea only made Baiyi a little angry and took the opportunity to have some intimate time with the little girl, then the sudden knock on the door the next morning made him feel a trace of anger that he had not felt for a long time.
The person who knocked on the door was a teacher of the academy. He was holding a document in his hand as he found Tisdale. After that, he put on a high profile posture and spoke to Tisdale in a loud voice, "Tisdale Aegis, according to the Dean's plan to form a student army to conquer the Templar Fort, I order you to … to … to …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly choked on his words. The arrogant attitude that he had earlier disappeared in an instant. Like a dog that had fallen into the water, he shrunk his spine as large beads of cold sweat dripped down from his forehead. It was as if he had seen something extremely horrifying.
After swallowing hard, the teacher stammered, "I-I'm sorry... for disturbing..." After saying that, he forcefully dragged his trembling legs and ran away as if he had seen a ghost.
It was not until he had run far away and was out of breath that the teacher turned back to look at Tisdale's mansion in shock. It was only then that he felt a horrifying prehistoric behemoth-like existence staring at him. Ignoring the task that the Principal had given him, he ran away as fast as he could. If he failed to complete the task, he would at most be scolded but if he continued to speak, he would probably die...
"T-This..." Tisdale stared blankly at the scene before her. Turning her head around, she looked at Baiyi with a puzzled expression.
"He must have taken the wrong medicine, right?" Baiyi shrugged and said indifferently. Secretly, he retracted the pressure that he had released earlier.
Even without him saying it, he could already guess the teacher's intention. He wanted to recruit the fourth-year student, Tisdale, into the Student Army. There was no doubt that Baiyi would never agree to such a thing.
In fact, in Baiyi's opinion, the idea of forming a Student Army could only be described as stupid. He had no idea what kind of educator would do such a ridiculous thing. According to the history that the Principal had introduced during the school anniversary, this was actually a tradition of the Celestial Fortress Academy. From time to time, he would bring his students out to do something. His reputation spread far and wide, and the battlefield was the best classroom.
However, in Baiyi's opinion, the current situation had not reached the point where all of the students were required to participate in the war. Even if the students wanted to hone their skills, they should not have chosen a dangerous and complicated place like the battlefield. If the situation had escalated to the point where the students were required to participate in the war, the situation would not have been salvaged by a single student army.
After all, the Celestial Fortress Academy was a comprehensive academy that taught and educated people. No matter how much emphasis was placed on practical training, it was not a military academy that trained soldiers and soldiers.
That was how Baiyi, who was also a teacher, viewed the situation. However, there was one bright side to the situation: the Church's reinforcements, which were the backbone of the army, had already set off. The student army, which had only set off a few days later, had a clear view of the situation.
"We should be able to get a clear answer in a few days, right?" Baiyi said to the Voidwalkers. The main force of the Church departed from the Holy City of Canningham. It would take them about a day to reach the Tower of Babel, the headquarters of the Sorcerers Association. However, they would not dare to send reinforcements directly to the fortress. Who knew if the epidemic had subsided? For this reason, they would probably waste some time to gather information before continuing their march. Then, it would take a while for the news to spread to the public.
"I've always had my suspicions about the plague, and I'm looking forward to the real results," the Lich Walker said. The Lich Walker continued from a different angle. "I've spent quite some time researching the Forbidden Spell of Pestilence. Although the effects of the Forbidden Spell are impressive, the conditions and medium required to cast it are too complicated. If the opponent is not stupid, the Forbidden Spell would be easy to deal with. From what I understand, it's just a flashy trick. Even if it's a Forbidden Spell, it's still a big trick. Unless someone comes up with a new Forbidden Spell that's as powerful as the T-Virus back on Earth, it wouldn't be practical."
"That's why I've always been curious. How did the spellcaster manage to cast the Forbidden Spell of the Plague in the Church's territory and under the protection of a group of sorcerers?" The Lich Walker said.
Don't think that the T-virus is a myth just because you've read a few literary works! Don't think that it would work in real life! Forget about Earth's epidemic prevention measures, even if it was brought to this world, it wouldn't be able to create a Resident Evil! Baiyi grumbled inwardly.
"Compared to this, I'm more worried about the attack from the devils," the Cleric Walker said. The Cleric Walker then said, "If they really do manage to break into the fortress, it will be a catastrophe for the people."
Even though he was no longer a believer, it did not mean that he had lost his compassionate heart.
"I don't think the situation will come to that." The Engineer Walker quickly comforted, "I've seen the blueprint of the Templar Fort. It's the culmination of the wisdom of generations of excellent craftsmen. As long as there are thousands of people who can join the battle, it won't be a problem to defend against tens of thousands of devils."
"I'm just afraid that if it really falls, it will become the devil's base camp instead. That would be terrible. I don't know how much we'll have to pay to take it back," the Paladin Walker said.
Seeing that the three gentlemen had returned to their normal state, Baiyi suddenly felt a sense of relief. After all, they were not the kind of people who would lick the girl's boots all the time after all.
Just as that thought popped up in his mind, the Cleric Walker said, "Instead of waiting at home, Sir Hope, why don't you go look for that village girl? I think she's quite a devout person. You can teach her that technique of mine. "
Can't you see that the two kids at home are already so worried? You want me to take in another one?
"No, no, no. I'm not saying that I want her to be my student. I just want to teach her that technique of mine. I won't be able to use it anyway. Instead of wasting it, why don't I give it to a cute, beautiful girl? Of course, in exchange for that, I can let her change into a beautiful dress. The hemline must be short and the color of her stockings can be pink or black. That way, the Cleric Walker was able to finish his sentence before Baiyi managed to Silence him. Looks like I've misjudged him. His wish should be the latter one.
Still, the Paladin Walker continued to argue with Baiyi, "I don't care if the Cleric Walker's final reward is right or wrong. Anyway, I have some techniques that I can teach her. In exchange, if she tells me the secret of body development, I can … Urgh!"
Seeing that the Paladin Walker had been Muted as well, the Engineer Walker, who was very loyal, immediately said, "What's wrong with a man being a pervert?!"
After getting rid of the Engineer Walker, the atmosphere in the Void finally returned to normal.
The celebration was interrupted. The senior students, led by the two vice presidents, went to war and the Celestial Fortress Academy returned to its usual peace and quiet. However, no matter what happened in the outside world, classes still had to go on. After sending the two girls to the academy, Baiyi went to the Seniors' Park. Along the way, he saw a lot of exchange students who came from other places leaving in a hurry, leaving a mess everywhere. The whole academy was filled with a desolate atmosphere.
The number of workmates in the park had also decreased. The previously bustling chess stall was also deserted. Mr. Sorry and Mr. Owl had gone to war with their own children. In fact, the strength of the group of Soul Armature Practitioners was not that outstanding. The reason why the academy chose them was because of the strength of their Soul Armatures.
Even the Seniors' Park had become desolate. Baiyi did not know why, but his mood had also become a little heavy. One of the workmates next to him noticed that and quickly comforted him, "It's alright, Master Hope. I believe that they will all come back safely. Don't be fooled by the fact that we usually gather in the park and have nothing to do but when it comes to the real battlefield, we are all super experts that are one in a million! So, you don't have to worry at all. Why don't we play a few rounds of chess? "
"There's no need for that." Baiyi declined the good intention of the happy-go-lucky workmate and looked around again. To his surprise, he saw a few figures dressed in the Church's paladins. Puzzled, he asked, "I saw that the other exchange students have already left. Why are the Church's people still here?"
"I don't know." The happy-go-lucky workmate shook his head, "Maybe the frontline doesn't need this batch of knight students and saintess in-training?"
But still, they shouldn't be staying in the academy, right? Baiyi thought to himself. After bidding farewell to the workmate, he walked around again, trying to find that beautiful village girl. Unfortunately, even after Mia and the rest had finished school that morning, he still could not find that beautiful figure.
Heh, she's only appeared in front of me twice. What kind of fate is this? The prophet was indeed a scammer! Baiyi thought to himself as he accompanied the two girls back home.
When night fell, after Mia and the rest of the girls had gone to bed, Baiyi was alone in the laboratory, tinkering with the black gold armor. However, just as he was about to take out the parts, he suddenly stopped what he was doing. Turning his head, he picked up a piece of enchanted parchment that had runes drawn on it and fixed it in the middle of the living room with his mana. Then, he walked out of the mansion.
It was a dark and windy night. There was not a single ray of light in the pitch-black courtyard. Baiyi cast an illumination spell and saw three figures dressed in gray robes in the courtyard.
"My name is Hope. What can I do for you?" Baiyi asked.
Naturally, the other party did not answer him. So, he shrugged helplessly and said, "Alright. I don't care what you're planning to do, but please be quiet. Don't disturb the children's sleep."
As he said that, he cast a Silence Barrier that covered the entire courtyard. Then, he clapped his hands and said in a loud voice, "That should be enough."
