The royal palace of the Glazed City resembles a giant conch standing from a white lotus flower. On all sides of the palace are four diamond-shaped black guardian towers, each with a huge eyeball in the middle, observing the dynamics around the palace. However, the interior of the palace is not as splendid as it seems. In fact, entering the palace feels more like entering a huge hanging garden. In the center of the palace is an oak tree planted by the first king, which is now in full bloom, and the canopy covers almost the entire palace. The roof is transparent, and sunlight is designed to flow through the foliage of the oak trees, providing plenty of sunlight to the exotic flowers and plants in the gardens and flower beds below. In the entire kingdom, except for the city of the moon and the moon, only the palace of the city of glass can retain a pristine garden so realistically.

On an open-air balcony of the palace, the Glass Queen and the Lord of the Wasteland were sitting at a white log table, sipping black tea and pastries. It is said to be open-air, but in fact, along the edge of the balcony is still covered with a glass protective cover. The intense sunlight filtered through the shield and turned a soft pale blue.

"I haven't been here for a few years, but this glass city is getting more and more prosperous." Lord Nishizawa said, looking at the corner of the city that was exposed under the balcony.

"In the past few years, the kingdom has not been harmed by the Burning Clan, and it can finally be relieved." The queen said with a smile. "Isn't the city of the wasteland also thriving?"

"It's not a good thing for me to be prosperous," said the city lord with a wry smile waving his hand. "You don't know my place, the arable land is pitiful, the people are few, and there are many people, so that I, the city lord, should be unstable."

"Overpopulation is a problem that all cities are facing right now." The Queen sighed and said, "Although it is quite controversial, Professor Green's 'remnant' theory has also played a role in balancing the population. ”

The city lord of Nishizawa took a sip of tea, nodded, and did not say anything. The queen also picked up the teacup and said softly: "Speaking of 'remnants', it is the first time that a group of remnants sent out by the Glass City last month actually robbed the escort airship and escaped. ”

"Is that so?" The Nishizawa City Lord raised his eyebrows, and he was also a little surprised.

"Well, the search team finally found the airship at the edge of the desert," the queen said, looking at Lord Nishizawa, "just a few kilometers from the wasteland city." ”

"Oh? How dare these little thieves run to my territory and spread wild? The city lord of Nishizawa said angrily, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely check it out when I go back, and if I find it, I will definitely escort someone back to you." ”

"That's all it takes." The queen bowed slightly, she had been observing the reaction of the city lord of Nishizawa, and she didn't seem to see anything unusual about him. It seems that the rebels have nothing to do with the Lord of the Wasteland, the queen thought to herself. This made her feel a little more relaxed, among the five cities, the relationship between the Glass City and the Wasteland City has always been the best, if the Wasteland City really has an affair with the rebels, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to the Glass City.

"Speaking of which, where has Prince Arthur gone, why haven't you seen anyone else?" The city lord of Nishizawa curiously glanced around the palace, "I remember that he used to pester, asking me to teach him the art of fire. ”

"You remember it all eight years ago. He was only 10 years old. The queen smiled and said, "Now that he has grown up, his personality has changed a lot. Even I, a mother, rarely see him in the palace, nor do I know what he's busy outside. ”

"None of these children are worry-free." The city lord of Nishizawa drank all the tea in his hand and said with feelings.

"Among the 55 new students recruited this time, 8 have entered the high-level battlefield, and 3 have been eliminated." Xiongyan, who is in charge of statistics, said as he looked at the big data screen where the students' grades were summarized.

"Looks like these freshmen are a bit big." Nakamura stroked his goatee and said with a smile, "The high-level battlefield is at least a G-level elite Burning Clan, and there are very few people among these children who have really faced the Burning Clan, and the skills they usually train are placed in actual combat with the Burning Clan, and their strength must be reduced by at least thirty percent." ”

"At present, there are Nishizawa Kai in the Wasteland City, Senyue Fengxin in the Moriyue City, and Xia Yan in the Glass City, but the most surprising thing should be the student of the Steam City." Yuhiko pointed to a screen and said, and several teachers were also standing in front of the screen. I saw a thin-looking figure on the screen standing in a high-level battlefield that had been restored to the appearance of a room. The battle was long over, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, but stood in place in a strange rickety posture, and after a while, he turned his head slightly, and a dark face with no facial features looked at them off-screen.

Looking at the dark faces on the screen, even though they knew that he couldn't see them through the monitor in the room, the teachers still felt a slight chill. "He's wearing a mask?" Mrs. Green frowned and said with some disgust.

"It's not a mask, it's his face. It's cyborgs. The green-robed teacher said in a deep voice.

"His name is Zero, and he was personally recommended by the lord of Steam City." Yuhiko looked at the information and told them.

"It's so strange that the students recommended by that guy from Coaster." Gu Yu recalled the Steam City Lord who covered half of his face with a mask and said, "But he himself is quite strange. ”

Yuhiko tapped the screen with gusto, rewinding the screen to the scene when Zero had just entered the battlefield.

The picture shows a dark cave, and a young man wearing a white cat-face mask stands in the cave, and the boy is wearing a red and black battle robe that is slightly wide for him. A pair of eyes that were still bright scanned their surroundings through the eye holes in the mask.

"That's what Zero is meant to be." Yuhiko said to everyone, "It took him a few injuries before he became what he used to be. He fast-forwarded the video a little, and a humanoid elite Burner suddenly descended from the top of the cave, and the boy was obviously taken aback, raising a dark green short knife to resist the Burner's sneak attack.

"Fire Elves, E-class elite Burners." Nakamura's beard trembled slightly. "The speed should be one of the best in the elite Burning Clan, this kid is quite clever and blocked this blow."

"The trainees of the City of Steam actually use cold weapons?" Gu Yu said in surprise, the Steam City is famous for its technology, and in Gu Yu's impression, he has never seen a soldier in the Steam City who does not use mechanical weapons.

In the picture, Zero wields a short knife and fights with the fire elves, the fire elves are extremely fast, and they can perfectly match the terrain, and the attack is becoming more and more poignant. After dodging the black lightning attack from the horns on the fire elf's head, Zero discovers that the fire elf has disappeared from view. There was a hot wind behind him, and he hurriedly turned around to block, but he was still a step too slow. There was a blow to the shoulder, and a glowing blue electronic wound came out. Although it was not a real wound, it still hurt and he gasped. Ignoring the pain, Zero rolled on the spot, the short knife in his hand spun out quickly, and nailed the fire spirit that was about to pounce on the cave wall.

Zero breathed a sigh of relief, slowly rising from the ground and walking towards the elite Burners who were struggling against the wall.

"Careless." Nakamura shook his head off-screen.

Just as Zero was about to get closer, the fire elf who was glued to the wall suddenly flicked its long flaming tail over, and Zero was startled and hurriedly flipped backwards. However, another scorching whirlwind struck his ears without warning, leaving him in mid-air with no time to react.

"And another?" Mrs. Green said in surprise.

"The appearance of two E-level elite Burning Clans on the high-level battlefield may not be too inhumane for new students, but it is not impossible." Gu Yu said, and a trace of surprise flashed across her face. It is true that letting a teenager face two E-class elite Burning Clans is not something that can be justified with a sentence of "inhumane". Even if it is a regular member of the Liuli and Cat Guild, it will be quite difficult to deal with two such Burning Clans alone.

Zero was completely unaware of the presence of another Burner, and the blow was taken by surprise, and it was slammed into a stone pillar in mid-air, and the mask also fell.

Zero lay on the ground clutching his face in pain, a flash of blue lightning peeking out from between his fingers, apparently hurting him a lot. The two Burners didn't give him time to feel the pain, and the trapped Burners pulled out their daggers and jumped off the wall, launching a frantic attack on the unsuspecting humans with their companions.

Zero was powerless under the combined attack of the two elite Burners, and new wounds were constantly torn out on his body. Zero was still covering his face, and as the wounds on his body grew, he tried to reach for the knife stuck in the ground, but had to hold his head again with both hands because of the splitting headache. A Burner jumped out of the circle of attack and rose into the air, a fierce black electric light condensed on his head, and delivered a fatal blow to Zero, who was trembling all over.

"This is it." Yuhiko pointed to the screen and said excitedly.

A black explosion rises from the corner where Zero is, and when the explosion clears, the screen shows no indication that the challenge has failed.

"Oh, resisted the fire elves' lightning attacks?" Gu Yu looked at the black shadow standing in a deep pit and said with interest.

With a "bell", the other Burner also attacked Zero with the explosion, blood-red claws passing through Zero's chest, making a metal crash. Gu Yu and Mrs. Green couldn't help but scream, however, at this time, Zero stood motionless in place, as if he didn't feel pain, and grabbed the sharp claws that penetrated his chest with his hand, and the wound on his chest lit up with a strange bright green light, which was like a sharp blade, quickly bursting out of the Burning Clan's arm, the Burning Clan looked very frightened and painful, but he couldn't break free of Zero's hand. A blood-red grin appeared on Zero's pitch-black face, and the other Burner also lit up with speckled green light, the light continued to increase, and both Burners curled up in pain, and were forcibly stretched out by the green light in their bodies. The limbs of the Burners seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and finally tore into countless pieces. The knives on the ground began to melt into liquid, converging with the green glow scattered in the air, filling the hollow wound in Zero's chest.

The teachers stared at Zero in a daze, and the smile on his face at the moment made people feel chilled.

"What the hell is this?" Nakamura muttered.

"Liquid metal ......," the green-robed teacher's face finally changed, "I heard that Dr. Brian was working on this special substance when I was in the City of Steam, and after many years, he actually succeeded. It's just why ...... on this teenager"

"There's such a powerful thing, why didn't you take it out in the first place?" Mrs. Green asked, still looking at Zero on the screen with a look of disgust.

"If the liquid metal is not well controlled, it is easy to swallow the body." The green-robed teacher keenly analyzed, "Maybe he can't manipulate the blood in his body yet, at first he just wanted to fight with the short knife condensed from liquid metal, the previous fight has left wounds on the Burning Clan's body, and the liquid metal in it will erode in like poison, destroying the Burning Clan's body from the inside." If it hadn't been for the second Burning Clan's sneak attack, maybe the first Fire Spirit would have died long ago. ”

"It's like a poisonous snake, if you bite it, you die." Yuhiko swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said. "Terrible."

"Toxins are ineffective against the Incinerators, but liquid metal can be incorporated into any liquid, destroying the body from within. The liquid metal in his blood was automatically awakened when his host was traumatized, and now he is probably controlled by that blood. The green-robed teacher looked at Zero with a dark face on the screen and said, "This is not just a poisonous snake, but a bomb that may explode at any time." ”

"What now, do you want to send him for forcible treatment?" Gu Yu asked, "Now his state is very unstable, if he is allowed to enter the Liuli Academy, I am afraid that the safety of the students will also be affected." ”

However, to their surprise, Zero looked at the monitor for a moment, then turned his head, slowly picked up the mask on the ground and put it back on his face, he returned to the same way he had when he first entered the battlefield, and walked casually towards the open door.

The teachers looked at Mr. Bai, who had not said a word from beginning to end, waiting for his decision.

"Interesting." Mr. Bai whistled and said, as if he had just watched an interesting game, "Don't interfere with him, that mask should be able to suppress the liquid metal in his blood." Besides, the students here are not here to enjoy their time on campus, and it's a good thing for them to have this kind of real threat. Mr. Bai instructed the teachers, and he scratched Romeo's chin, and his signature smile appeared on his face again.

The teachers glanced at each other, and they were deeply touched by Mr. Bai's maverick, so they were not surprised by Mr. Bai's words, and they could only comply.

"It's time for the entrance ceremony to end, I'm going to meet Mr. Lan." Mr. Bai got up from his chair and said to the other teachers, patting the black cat in his arms on the head and saying, "It's your turn, Romeo-sama." ”
