Seeing that Zhang Longqian opened his mouth, Ji Haiyun, who understood what she wanted to say, interrupted her again.

"It's true that the academy has rules that don't allow private fights, but at the same time, it also has a rule that as long as the adjudicator is present, the competition can be conducted. Don't you feel contradictory? ”

"Isn't that to reduce the likelihood of a student fight?"

"No, that's to control the mortality rate of cadets."

"What?"

Looking at the incomprehensible Zhang Longqian, Ji Haiyun peeled off the cruelty he had understood since he was a child in front of her eyes.

The five elements of yin and yang are mutually reinforcing, and everything in the world must have opposites in order to exist, which is the "common sense" of this world, including the human world.

And this academy is the place where the "common sense" of this world is expressed to the greatest extent.

The responsibility of the mage is much heavier than Zhang Longqian imagined, in order to take on that responsibility, only those who can adapt to the "common sense" of the world can become a "mage", and the academy exists to select such people.

In such an academy, every major battle that occurs is "inevitable", that is, "unstoppable", and the "student association" that exists to maintain the order of the academy can only stop those "non-inevitable" conflicts outside of such "inevitable" occurrences, so as to control the most basic order of the academy and reduce the needless deaths of students as much as possible.

Therefore, when such an "inevitability" occurs, the students who are usually strict will disappear as if they have disappeared, and all the teachers will stand by and watch until the "inevitable" battle is over, and they will not come out to deal with the aftermath.

Here, only the strong can exist.

If you die, it can only prove that you are not strong enough, and no one will feel sorry for such a weak person, and no one will.

This academy, which has existed for thousands of years, is such a cruel place.

The unimagined facts hit Zhang Longqian's heart, and she couldn't accept it at all, so Ji Haiyun took her to places other than the dormitory building and the practice field for the first time in these days, and let her see the "reality" with her own eyes.

The academy, which was as peaceful as a paradise on weekdays, was miserable at the moment, and the buildings were not damaged much because of the prohibition and protection, but most of the forests that covered every part of the academy were burned down, and the neat and wide road surface became potholes, leaving countless traces of spell impact, and also stained with many dried bloodstains.

Just by looking at this, you can understand what happened here.

There is not a single wounded person in sight on the broken road, and the silence and desolation make this cruel "reality" even more irrefutable.

Zhang Longqian frowned tightly, unable to make a sound.

"Miss, I understand that you are difficult to accept, but this is such a place, you have to see the 'reality' clearly."

Pursing his lips, Zhang Longqian made a subtle sound with some difficulty.

“…… Xiao Lu and Xiao Miao...... Know the truth here? ”

"Miss Zhou Miao should know, but Miss Bai Lu is not easy to say. After all, her grandfather's favor for his granddaughter is well-known in the Dao Law Realm, and in order to prevent Miss Bai Lu from being hit, Old Man Bai is likely to keep trying to hide it from her, and he will definitely be able to do it. ”

"Then continue to hide it from her."

Speaking firmly, Zhang Longqian, who still couldn't take his eyes off the dilapidated scene that seemed to be another place, said softly to Ji Haiyun beside him: "I remember that Xiaolu's grandfather is ......."

"Elder of the Academy." Ji Haiyun's voice sounded very steady, so stable that Zhang Longqian's heart unconsciously calmed down, "Although the academy is governed by the student union on most issues, there is still an organization with absolute ruling power above this, its name is the 'Council of Elders', and the nine graduates who have contributed the most to the academy in the past serve as elders, and Miss Bai Lu's grandfather is one of them, and this 'Council of Elders' is the biggest reason why the academy can be independent of the Dharma Hall." However, the nine of them do not interfere with the academy on a regular basis, and they will only take measures if the academy encounters an 'inevitable' event. ”

As he was talking, several people suddenly appeared without warning.

There is no uniform dress, and the dozen or so people who are dressed casually look very ordinary, just like the students of the academy, the only special thing is that they all have a hexagonal yin-yang fish badge pinned to their collars, which makes Ji Haiyun's expression a little serious, and he just wanted to say something to Zhang Longqian, when he saw a young man with a long figure at the head looking at this side.

"Now let's start repairing the academy, and ask anyone else to get out of here."

The calm voice was characterless, but the young man who said this had a melancholy expression on his face, as if he was reluctant.

Zhang Longqian, who hadn't turned his mind too much, wanted to ask, but Ji Haiyun beside him had already gently grabbed her arm and signaled her not to speak, and then nodded to the young man, and he took Zhang Longqian to teleport back to the Taoist wooden character practice ground.

Standing on the square of the still empty practice ground, Zhang Longqian was silent for a moment and looked at Ji Haiyun beside him: "Who are they?" ”

"Look at the badge, it's supposed to be a guard affiliated with the Council of Elders."

"Convoys?"

"Hmm. The Council of Elders has nine convoys, and they will only act for the sake of the Academy. The young man with an eternally melancholy face was named Zifeng, the captain of the Third Guard, and if they did it themselves, the academy should soon be able to return to its original state. ”

Ji Haiyun didn't guess wrong.

After the third escort team led by Zifeng arrived, they immediately began to use spells to repair it. Restoring burned forests, repairing damaged roads, clearing public facilities that had become a mess, the Third Guard followed the traces of the battle, and in less than half a day the academy was restored to its original state.

The roads are neat and flat, the trees are lush, and the birds are singing and fragrant, as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Longqian, who left the practice field again because she couldn't calm down, saw this familiar scene at a glance, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

Then, the Third Escort vanished silently, as it had come.

After that, the cadet association finally showed up.

Assisting the doctors in treating the wounded, counting the number of deaths, and so on, everything went on in an orderly manner under the command of the cadet council, and by the evening the whole academy was back to normal, and the students who were walking indifferently could be seen on the road, and there was no sign on their faces that they had paid any attention to the battles of the past few days—no, it was not true, for they were all talking with great interest about the details of the battles, such as who had fought with whom, who had been unexpected, and so on.

But no one showed even the slightest sadness for the students who died in the fighting, or for their own fear of being under such a system.

As Ji Haiyun said, in their opinion, it is a matter of course that people will die in the "inevitable" battle of the academy.

There is no need to regret, no need to fear, and no need to worry.

After thousands of years of wind and frost, the huge academy is still so beautiful, peaceful, and ......

Mu Ran.
