Volume 1 The Old Man Chapter 15: Lost Feathers
"Where is this..."Kusaka, who Kaido was carrying, didn't know when he woke up. In a daze, he felt that he was not moving, but the corridors on both sides were rapidly receding. It wasn't until he laboriously said that sentence that everything around him stopped.
Suddenly there was a cracking sound of a wall behind him! Kaido, who had become Orphnoch, turned around worriedly.
"Now that you're awake, let's go back and save them!"
"It's useless," Grass got off his back with great difficulty, "and once I use that form, I'll have to wait another three hours before I transform again, as soon as the time is up." β
"What!?" Haitang was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Uncle Ben can't ignore the two of them, you can run if you want to, I'm going to save them!" β
But just as Haitang was about to run back, he was held down by the grass on the shoulder.
"What are you doing! You..."
"Shh Kusaka held a finger in front of his mouth and motioned for him to shut up, "The air around here is pouring down the hallway!" β
As he spoke, the flow of air became more intense.
----
"What's going on?"
The vine, which was obviously here to take the lives of the two of them, was restless at the moment, and the air around them was obviously surging behind the two of them strangely, and it was about to slowly form a whirlpool.
The vines moved, stabbing at them like sharp arrows!
Flashes of light poured out from behind them, enveloping them.
After a moment of dazzle, Kiba found that the restraints on their bodies had been untied. They looked back at the source of lightβa woman shrouded in light, suspended in the air like a holy angel.
"Miss Nagata!" Kiba recognized the figure, or rather, the power.
Qiao turned his head and looked back at the man and the king who were standing at the mouth of the hole, and he knew that he had underestimated him. In any case, he should bring the FaizBlaster, only with this thing will he have the strength to fight the 'king'. And just when the idea came to him, he remembered the previous decisive battle, where he threw FaizBlaster to his Wonderbolt.
"If only that guy were still here..."Qiao thought unwillingly, but now, he could only fight his way out with the strength that he and Kiba had!
"Ah--!!h
Yuka's screams interrupted everyone's thoughts.
"That's Nagata!!" Haitang called out in surprise, "Caojia, hurry!" Let's go back and help them! β
Intense white light erupted from the deepest classrooms, engulfing them at once.
Boom!!
There was another deafening bang, and the entire meteor school began to tremble uneasily, and the entire underground structure began to collapse. The sound of light bulbs popping was hidden from far and near amid the sound of falling rubble, but everything was still glowing.
In the light, a pair of wings enveloped the two of them, and a whirlwind rolled up, and Yuka jumped forward, flying straight towards the exit. The collapse around them became more and more serious, and the two people in the wings went black and lost consciousness.

SmartBrain President's Office.
Matsuzaki could clearly feel the floor shaking uneasily. Just now, he received a report that the elevator that had been able to go directly to the underground meteor school had been destroyed by strong winds from the elevator shaft.
He frowned.
"It looks like it does." Sitting in front of him seemed to be a guest, "The 'king' that you didn't find in your previous recovery operation must have been taken away by Kageyama Tsuneko." And right now, the bearer of the two belts must be fighting the Kageyama Tsunzo who has the true power of the so-called Orphnoch, right? β
"That's not what we're talking about."
"But in terms of process, the power of the 'king' is indispensable for the coexistence of humans and Orphnoch, and without it, the other Orphnoch are just waiting for death."
"I've already sent Matsugami over, and he can take care of everything there."
----
When Team A, led by Xitong, arrived at the scene. It's already a mess - the entrance to the meteor school has been blocked by rubble, and the air is all covered with dust from the collapse.
No sooner had he given the order to search than he saw an Orphnoch not far from the entrance preparing to put down the straw.
"Action!"
A small team following Xitong, a total of six team members, directly hugged Yuka and surrounded Yuka. Yuka was obviously frightened by this formation, and she hurriedly signaled that she had no malicious intent, shaking her hand and stepping back.
"Stop, Mr. Matsugami!" Kiba's weak voice came from behind a nearby stone, and he was helped out from behind the stone, "He's the Miss Nagata we're looking for." β
"Is this Miss Yuka Nagata?" Xitong motioned to close the team, "I'm sorry, we actually don't have malicious intent. β
Boom!
There was another loud explosion of smoke and dust, and before he could confirm the state of Kiba, there was another explosion at the entrance of the Meteor Juku cave not far behind them.
"They really didn't die..."Qiao had already guessed that this little rubble alone was not enough to kill the 'king' and the son.
"Be careful!" Xitong suddenly pounced on Qiao and Kiba, and the vines in the smoke and dust cut through the air, and brushed over Xitong's head with a thud.
When he realized that something was wrong and looked back at his teammates, those who had never seen the 'king', without exception, everyone looked at their chests in horror--
The vines pierced through the heart, and the body began to ignite with blue fire, and after a moment of struggle, it all froze in place. The vines shook again, rolling up their bodies and dragging them back into the terrible smoke. Immediately after, there was a terrifying chewing sound that seemed to come from an evil spirit.
The shadow of death began to flood in Xitong's heart, and a reorganized squad was wiped out before it could even transform. His pupils fluttered, and to him, it wasn't just death, it was something much more terrifying--
A terrifying feeling that he could not get even after many strange and cruel cases, the feeling called "despair", clung to his heart for the first time.
"Matsugami, right?" Qiao stood up, "Help me take care of Kiba and the Kusakakaido over there, and then find a way to escape from here, I'll drag them down." β
"Dry... Sir..."
At this time, Xitong suddenly understood the meaning of what Matsuzaki said to him. The coincidence in front of them is really not just a simple person or Orphnoch, but the person who can bring them hope when they are desperate, the person who can protect others. And such a person is exactly what Xitong wants to protect and what he wants to become.
Qiao didn't wait for his reply, and he walked into the smoke and dust with Yuka.
