"You two, in fact, I already knew that you had been following the two of us."

"What!?"

The two exclaimed in unison.

"Noah, honesty is a very appreciative thing, and there is no need to hide the truth that you have said. On the contrary, Eve, as the president of the student union, followed us with the vice president, and did not say anything, and let Noah hide what he said? ”

"Uh...... Haha, hug ...... I'm sorry. ”

Eve, who was full of embarrassment, just smirked and didn't say much in reply.

After a smile, Noah looked at Kayla, who was in a very wrong state, and kindly handed the bread paper bag in his arms to Kayla on the ground, and at the same time cared about Kayla's condition by the way.

"Are you really alright? You don't look well......"

"I didn't ...... It's fine, just a little anemic. ”

"Is it really okay? Need me to take you to the doctor? ”

"No...... No more! It's an old problem, and it's okay to rest for a while! ”

Kayla, pretending to be calm, shook her head hurriedly, snatched the bag of bread from Noah's arms, stood up in a hurry, and bowed goodbye to the three of them.

"Thank you very much for your help, and for the company, Kayla and I'm very happy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran away, running in the direction of the city.

At this time, Wu paid attention to the hands holding the bread bag again, and the pure white gloves that trembled quite a lot seemed to have some hidden feelings, which seemed to be related to the painful look on his face just now.

Looking at Kayla's distant back, Wu became even more curious about the mysterious schoolgirl.

"Teacher...... Teacher! ”

A fierce shout recalled Wu's thinking and brought Wu back to his senses again.

"Uh, what's wrong?"

I saw Eve puffing out her cheeks, her hands on her waist, and her angry face staring at Wu.

"Teacher, I admit that it was wrong for me to follow you with Noah. But I guess you're aware of that too, right? The special relationship between the teacher and the student. ”

The special relationship between students and teachers...... That's what Eve is referring to, right?

"Well, of course I do......"

"Now that I know, I hope the teacher will pay attention to his behavior."

"Behavior?"

"Yes, I mean acts of purity, which cannot transcend the proper conduct of the special relationship between the parties."

Can't go beyond the special relationship between the two parties? Is my special relationship with my students so complicated?

But since Eve has said this, maybe it's just for her own good, otherwise she wouldn't have to emphasize it so seriously.

"Yes, I'll take care of it."

"Well! I'm glad that the teacher understands what I mean, so how do you think Kayla thinks of your relationship with her? ”

"Relationship? The teacher-student relationship. ”

"No, no, no, I want you to think about what I just said before you speculate."

"What you just said ......"

Could it be the kind of special relationship that Eve just talked about!?

"Could it be that the special relationship you mean by ......!?"

Seeing that Wu finally came to her senses, Eve smiled with satisfaction, waiting for Wu's speculation.

"Is it just a friendship!?"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's ...... love, clams? ”

"Friendship, I know what you're trying to say, Eve. But I don't really understand why the relationship between friends is so complicated, what is legitimate and pure, what is beyond this relationship, in fact, I don't really understand. ”

The expressionless Wu asked Eve seriously, so that Eve never expected that the powerful man in front of her would be such a dull person.

To be precise, to people who are emotionally sluggish.

Looking at Wu's puzzled eyes and flat tone, this is definitely not pretending.

As it turned out, it was completely self-inflicted thinking too much.

Slightly embarrassed, Eve didn't dare to look at the simple man in front of her anymore, and her eyes were mixed with apologies and smiles and looked at Noah on the side, and sure enough, she was also very surprised by Wu's simplicity.

For a moment, I suddenly felt that I was the one who was not right-minded.

"Scabies...... When I didn't say it, the teacher was sorry. ”

"Huh? Why did you suddenly apologize? You haven't explained what you just said. ”

"No, no, no...... When I didn't say it. ”

"Really......"

Although he is a mature and cold man on the outside, the two don't know that Wu's heart is still pure and immature as a simple boy.

Although the topic is in a stiff and cold state, the atmosphere between the two sides is still good, after all, the three of them interact a lot in the school, and this unexpected misunderstanding remains in the hearts of Eve and Noah, and it is bound to become a joke.

Suddenly, five silver rays of light suddenly flashed from somewhere, piercing the air and shooting from behind Noah, targeting the back of Noah's head. The observant Wu saw in time that it was a silver arrow smeared with poison.

In order to protect Noah, who had no sense of defense, Wu immediately raised his right hand and condensed the wind element, looking at the speed and position of the poison arrow.

"Wild Lan!"

Suddenly, Wu clenched his right fist and activated the technique, and a wind almost a tornado erupted from behind Wu, blowing in the opposite direction of the poisoned arrow.

The two didn't realize the crisis behind them, but Wu's wave of strong wind elements frightened the two, and the strong wind almost blew the two away, but fortunately, Wu grabbed the hands of the two in advance and prevented the two from being blown down by this strong wind.

Noah was frightened by this move, and Eve froze in place. But there is no room for daze in the current state.

"There is an ambush! You two follow me! ”

"Yes...... Yes! ”

The three of them began to run in the opposite direction of the poisoned arrow attack, and dozens of black-clad assassins also sprang out of a dark alley somewhere, chasing after the three. Obviously, the Assassin did not intend to spare the three men, and in the process of chasing, he blew poisoned arrows covered in bamboo tubes, and kept shooting at the three men.

Fortunately, there were not many passers-by during this time, only a few passers-by were frightened by this sudden attack, and they ran away in fright, and soon dispersed.

The cleared streets were filled with only Wu and the others and several Assassins following closely behind.

With the naked eye, it was estimated that there were about ten assassins behind him, and when he looked closely, these assassins were all wearing pitch-black cloaks, and the shadows created by the drooping hats perfectly blocked their faces, and it was almost impossible to see their true faces.

Is it a black snake? No, it could also be a killer sent by the nobility.

The three of them ran towards the crowded city, intending to get rid of the assassins behind them with crowd tactics.

Unexpectedly, Eve, who was not good at running, began to gasp for breath, and her weak legs gradually slowed down.

"Old ...... Teacher, I'm dying! ”

Eve, whose face was flushed, closed her eyes tightly, and her weak calves were running completely by will, and she was so tired that she almost fell.

After all, Eve is a magus who is good at manipulating the water element, and although she usually fights in hand-to-hand combat using the water blade summoned by "mimic magic", she is still best at tug-of-war with long-distance spells.

If this continues, Eve will lose herself and be caught by the Assassins.

"In that case...... Noah! ”

"It's... Yes! ”

"Listen, you use the 'Lingbo Microstep' to take Eve away and run in the direction of the academy!"

"Yes, but what do you do, teacher?"

"Leave me alone, hurry up, you're just going to cause me trouble!"

"It's... Yes! ”

Picking up Eve, who was panting, Noah activated the 'Limbo Microstep' to turn his legs into an invisible wind and rushed towards the academy. The severed Wu suddenly flickered on his feet and stared at the Assassins who wanted to continue the pursuit.

"It's not that easy to catch up."

A sneer erupted, and Wu condensed the huge amount of earth element in his palm, and slapped it to the ground with all his strength to infuse the earth element.

The ground, which had absorbed a large amount of earth elementals, began to vibrate violently under the control of Wu, only to see several cracks cut through the ground, and the collapsed street instantly collapsed, splitting into several large stones, and under the control of Wu's mind, it smashed towards the group of assassins at high speed.

Seeing this, the Assassins cleverly jumped away from the stones.

However, these unhit rocks slammed straight into the ground, and the rocks that burst by hitting the ground instantly caused a considerable sandstorm, and the visibility around them dropped to zero, making it impossible for these assassins to see Wu and the others clearly for the time being.

Some of the Assassins quickly condensed the wind elemental to blow away the dust and sand, and rediscovered Wu's figure.

When the dust and sand dissipated, Wu's figure appeared one by one, standing motionless.

A faint smile hung over the face of the Assassin who looked at him, and Wu provoked his index finger at the Assassins in defiance, before turning and running down the street.

Seeing that Wu was planning to escape, the assassins also desperately chased after him.

The distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, shuttling through the empty streets, Wu actually suddenly turned around and ran into a small dark alley alone.

The Assassin at the head of the line gestured to his accomplices behind him, and a group of people dispersed and surrounded the alley.

The Assassins drew their daggers and rushed into the alley.

However, this dark alley is a dead end, and Wu stands alone in front of the wall, looking at the assassin who has come to assassinate him, as if he has been waiting for a long time.

The Assassins attached the elemental to the dagger and slowly walked towards Wu.

Counting the number of assassins in front of him, Wu looked up and saw that several assassins were climbing up to the tall building, drawing their bows and aiming at him.

Assassinating yourself without magic, are you worried that it will attract too much attention?

"You're from the Black Snake Organization, right?"

The Assassins did not respond to Wu's question at all, and continued to move towards Wu.

"Don't respond?"

Several silver-white chains burst out of Wu's sleeves, and those dark eyes looked at these assassins coldly, and the desire to slaughter once again rose from his heart.

The swollen flesh made me dizzy, and the throbbing heartbeat was urging the hormones in my brain again and again, and the reason in my heart like a candle in the wind had been extinguished.

"Ah!!h

A scream broke through the silence of the morning.

A woman squatted on the ground with a pale face, the visual impact of fear causing stomach acid to tumble over and over her stomach, and she felt dizzy and struggling to even sit.

People passing by were attracted by the screams and came to calm the woman's emotions and ask what was wrong with her.

The woman didn't answer, she sulked, her eyes closed, and pointed to the nightmarish alley in front of her.

Without warning, everyone turned their heads to look at the unknown dark alley - only to see that the entire alley was covered with dried blood, and the many corpses that fell on the blood were cut apart by some means. When the warm morning sun gradually turned into the cold dark alley, the illuminated scene made everyone sweat coldly.

The pure white skin is like clear dialysis glass, because of the unknown technique, the skin on the body has become a transparent crystal, and you can directly see the static organs in the body through the skin, and in the pool of bright red blood, there are many transparent statues lying down.

That's just ...... It's like a human statue carved out of glass.

Tattered cloaks drifted on the pool of blood, and shattered weapons were scattered all over the ground, which looked particularly suitable as a foil to the frightened expressions.

Everyone was stunned by this scene, and the unquenchable fear in their hearts flowed through their bodies like electricity, and they didn't even have the strength to scream because of the horror, after all, the suffocating and strange aura was pressing on everyone's chests, dull and heavy.

And this whole abrupt incident became a rumor of fear in the town of Eliel.

Wu, who had been busy all night, opened the closet, took out the bath towel and wiped the body that had just been washed.

With a bath towel tied around his waist, Wu closed the bathroom door and wiped his wet hair as he walked towards his desk and chair.

The freshly washed robe was still hanging on the back of the chair, there were still some traces of blood on the pure white gloves placed next to the bed, and there was still a score sheet on the desk that he had filled out for his classmates in yesterday's actual combat class.

Just as he was about to pick up the robe and put it on his body, Wu couldn't help but curiously scan the score sheet again, and then his puzzled gaze stayed on a certain place on the table.

A conspicuous achievement once again made Wu stare intently.

Kayla...... Is it? ”

At this time, the familiar whisper came out of my head again.

"What's wrong? Boy, you seem to have been caring about this kid since yesterday. ”

That's the Knicks' problem. Judging by the slightly high, relaxed voice, He seemed pleased.

But it's natural to be happy, after all, the Knicks harvested nearly thirty souls in one go last night, which is a long-lost harvest.

As the king of Hades, Nix has no power to interfere in the life and death of human beings, and can only take over all things after the death of human beings, which is the rule of the underworld, and it is also the only iron rule that Nix cannot cross. Even though he regarded souls as treasures and was even fanatical about collecting them, the constraints of the rules still made him wary.

However, if these souls are harvested through the hands of Wu, this does not violate this annoying rule, even if Nix instigates Wuwu to kill humans, as long as Nix does not do it himself, there is no problem of violating the rules.

When the body loses its function, the soul automatically returns to the underworld. However, the ownership of these souls is not necessarily in the hands of Nix, if Wu uses means other than "underworld magic" to kill people, his soul may run into the hands of other little gods, although as the king of Hades, Nix can still have the right to get back the soul, but the process in between will become cumbersome and unnecessary - which is why Nix insists on using "underworld magic" to do it.

At this time, back to what Wu was thinking about, Kayla's results still made him very worried.

"Well...... Nothing, just think this kid ...... Seems a bit too much. ”

"Overdone? She is not the only student who got an A+, so why is she suspicious alone? ”

Indeed, when it comes to A+, Eve also got the same result. But what I care about the most is not her grades, but her abilities, that is, she has two elements in her body at the same time. ”

"Do you mean that she has the elements of 'water' and 'fire'?"

He nodded thoughtfully, and then he finally explained the question in his mind to the Knicks.

"Remember the time we confronted the Marquis earlier? At that time, there was a mysterious person wearing a cloak, and I couldn't see her face clearly because of the light and the hat, but one thing I was sure of was that she could also control the elements of 'water' and 'fire'. ”

"In other words, do you suspect that this girl is the mysterious person of that day?"

A straightforward guess, Wu did not immediately deny it, but he did not agree at all. This speculation has been bothering me all day, and of course it is impossible to draw conclusions casually.

On the Staphine Plains, about ninety percent of the Magus have only one element in their bodies, nine percent have two elements in their bodies, and the remaining one percent have more than three elements. If you count the population of the entire Staphen Plains, you can see that in fact, the magisters who hold both elements at the same time are not very rare, at least there are more than expected.

However, having it does not mean that everyone will be able to use every element in their body smoothly and perfectly. There is a saying among the Magi who hold multiple elements - "Even if there are more than two elements in the body, it does not mean that each element is of the same intensity, and there must be an element in the human body that is primarily used and an element that is used as a secondary one."

This phrase comes from the textbook "Elementology" used by the St. Goethe's Academy. Although it is only the result of investigation and statistics, it is indeed possible in terms of theory and logic, and it can even be boldly speculated that in fact, these magisters who hold multiple elements originally only had a single element in their bodies, but for some reason they produced other elements in their bodies.

If we speculate from this theory, the mysterious person who fought with her that day seems to be quite proficient in manipulating the two elements of "water" and "fire" at the same time, and according to that skill, it is not like a technique that ordinary students can control.

However, in the drill yesterday morning, the puppet that absorbed the Kayla element only absorbed a trace amount of the fire element, and its tiny extent even the "Amplification Stone" failed to show the bright red color that represented the fire element, only full of turquoise water element, which also proved that the fire element in Kayla's body was very weak, and she did only use the water element in the drill to fight.

In this comparison, the strength of the mysterious man and Kayla does not match, even if Kayla intends to hide her strength, but the uncontrollable amplification stone also confirms Kayla's strength.

Moreover, there is a little problem that makes me hesitate, at that time, I used hellfire to take away the soul of the mysterious person's right hand, although it is not to directly erase the soul of the entire person, but as long as I lose part of the soul, it will inevitably make ordinary people lose their minds and even enter an empty state of ashen. This kind of person is not to mention moving around, and even whether he can speak safely is a problem.
