Chapter 279 You Demolish My Tower, I Steal Your House (1) (Two in One)
When Ojiao came out of the basement of the Duel Academy library, she could feel that the atmosphere in the school was completely different from a week ago.
At this time, the Duel Academy was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere, and it was a cheerful scene, as if some large-scale event was about to be held.
After Ojiao inquired about it, he found out that this was the annual anniversary of Duel Academy and it was coming soon. On the anniversary day, Duel Academy would be open to the outside world like other schools holding anniversary celebrations.
This year is destined to be an unstable year - although the Pacific Rim Duel Academy has a strange curse that "the modern alchemy professor can only teach for one year every year", but like this year, he died in the middle of the second semester just after the beginning. ...I have never seen it before.
Obviously everyone likes the gentle Professor Daitokuji... so the entire Duel Academy was immersed in grief during the previous period.
And it seems that it also wants to get out of this kind of grief. This year, the college plans to have a better and more festive celebration this year, so as to dilute the sad atmosphere caused by the death of Professor Daitokuji in the line of duty.
After all, people still have to live.
When he learned that Dade Temple had left everyone during his practice, Ojiao's first reaction was... This is a bit untrue.
As a young generation who has begun to come into contact with the night world, Ojiao knows the identity of Dade Temple - the best and most talented wandering alchemist in hundreds of years. Even his own instructor, Patchouli, often looks for him. Daitokuji chatted together, shared their knowledge, and expressed deep admiration for this man's attainments in alchemy.
Such a monster... would he die inexplicably because of a dangerous building collapse accident?
There was an unreal feeling in Ojiao's heart.
[By the way, I remember Teacher Noreji said that day...] But at this time, Ojiao recalled that during her practice, Patchouli once had tea with Dade Temple, and their chat at that time There was no taboo against Ojiao at all - and later facts proved that they did not need to taboo about Ojiao's existence, because the girl could not understand what they said...
It is "cannot understand" in the true sense, not "I understand every word but I can't understand it when stringed together". Dadeji and Patchouli are using a kind of Ojiao completely from beginning to end. Communicating in incomprehensible language.
Under the dissuasion of "Hai Liuli", the girl did not intend to force herself to understand their communication, but she could remember one sentence very clearly, which was the conversation between Dadeji and Patchouli when they left:
Daitokuji: "It's time to see you again."
Patchouli: "Have a safe trip, see you again."
Although these two sentences were said in a vague way, they were words that Oujia Ouwei Er could understand the literal meaning after listening to them that day...
Based on these two sentences and the fact that Daitokuji died later, Ojiao can draw a very heart-wrenching conclusion:
[Could it be that...he wanted to go there on purpose...but why? I remember he told me that his alchemy skills still lacked a successor! 】
Ojiao didn't dare to guess anymore. The amount of information she had on this issue was even poorer than the girl's own breasts. [Forget it, I remember the rumor that Judai was present at the time. I'll ask later. Ask Judai... I heard that he is not in a good condition right now. 】
Ojiao, who encountered this situation just after "coming out of seclusion", felt bored, so she planned to take a bath in the bathhouse of Duel Academy to take a rest.
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. What we need to do now is to recharge our batteries - the "Seven Star King" should have the last one to solve. At this time, we need to be vigilant at all times.
After paying DP to the bathhouse manager and taking a bath, Ojiao walked into the women's bathhouse naked.
What Ojiao didn't expect was that his entry would be like detonating a mine among the many girls in the bathhouse!
"Hey, Ojiao?!"
"Wow, our big hero is back!"
"Can you tell us? What did the vampire you met then... look like?"
"It is said that she can turn people into dolls, is it true?"
"Does she have anything to do with...the legend circulating in the Obelisk Blue Women's Dormitory?"
…
A group of chattering girls rushed up as soon as they recognized Ojiao, and the atmosphere in the women's bathhouse suddenly became lively. Ojiao instantly felt that he was "surrounded" by the fragrant bodies of the girls. among. It made her breathless (heavy fog).
"That's enough of you!" When Ojiao was surrounded by a group of chattering girls, Asuka was the one who stood up to rescue Ojiao. "You guys, Shimada finally came back, you can't leave her alone. Take a quiet rest?"
Later, Junko, Momoe and even Yuzi, who didn't like to speak, stood up from the bath and defended Ojiao together. The main purpose was actually to persuade these girls to leave Ojiao temporarily so that she could be alone. take a break.
This was not an excessive request. Aojiao did look a little tired now, so the Guliangs finally chose to retreat.
"Thank you." After more than a dozen girls left, Ogiao finally had time to chat with Asuka, Yu Zi and other sisters who hadn't seen each other for a long time. "If it weren't for you, today would have been a bit difficult to end."
"No, it's you who's working hard." Asuka is also a member of the fight against the "Seven Star Kings" - although she is always robbed of heads - but she can also understand Ogiao's sadness.
Many things can't really be explained to those ordinary students. For example, although Camilla turned Professor Chronos and Manzhangmujun into dolls in public, it is still just a legend among ordinary students.
Those who witnessed this scene at the time were all top students and people in the small circle of professors. Most of them still knew the limits.
And ordinary students... it's not time to face these cruel realities.
Many of them are just curious about these things - this curiosity is like the second-year syndrome that will follow the baptism of black magic and the first embrace of vampires. They had no idea that if they really encountered this situation, this curiosity would most likely cost them their lives.
Especially in this world - a world where there is only a thin layer of window paper between the dark game and ordinary duelists - information in this regard must be controlled. No matter how high the people in the circle are playing, they cannot easily spread outside the circle, unless they encounter "force majeure" such as "Three Phantom Demons", "Phantom Dragon" and "Turtle Bad Beast·Jamie Hill".
Asuka took Ojiao to a secluded corner, sat in a comfortable hot spring, and started some homely topics between girls. During this period, Asuka was constantly inducing the topic, so that the previous battle between Ojiao and Camilla was never mentioned in the communication within this small group from beginning to end.
In this seemingly time-wasting daily life, because of Li Zheng's departure and the fatigue caused to Ojiao by many days of practice, it seemed to leave her little by little, like pulling out silk from a cocoon...
[Soaking like this, soaking until the end of time... It seems not bad? 】The warrior girl, who had been living in intense training since childhood, now collapsed in the hot spring like a dried product that had been soaked in water. [Well... I will soak here for a day until Li Zheng comes back. Don't move... I am so tired...]
Listening to the chats of the sisters around her as a lullaby, Ojiaou's nerves relaxed one by one, making her feel more and more like a sponge absorbing water... Oh no, like a salted fish.
"So I say, we should not use too good cosmetics too early - Junko, you don't know, most of those cosmetics are for older, mature women with good financial strength... eh?"
Asuka, who was explaining cosmetics to Junko with great enthusiasm, suddenly looked to her side and found that Ogiao had fallen asleep in the hot spring as if she was completely liberated...
Also, for some reason, Asuka could always smell a salty smell from this pink-haired girl - a salty smell that would become stronger and stronger in the hot spring - this was very strange, Asuka clearly remembered that the smell of Ogiao should be very good, why does it give people a feeling of salted fish now?
[It seems that she is really too tired, right? ] Asuka looked at Ogiao with a doting look, thinking in her heart: [Yes, she defeated Titan, saved my brother, and defeated Camilla... We really rely too much on her, it is normal to be tired, right? ]
But falling asleep in the hot spring is not good. Asuka thought so, so she hurriedly walked up, wanting to hug Ojiaou's body in the hot spring pool and pull her out of the hot spring.
However, at this time, Junko Makuta and Baihui Hamaguchi, who had just been "interrupted" by Asuka, became anxious. Because it was a topic about cosmetics, their previous energy was on Asuka, and they did not notice that Ojiaou had fallen asleep, so they hurriedly urged: "Why can't you use more advanced makeup..."
Before the question was finished, they were entangled by a chill around their bodies. Although Junko and Baihui were soaking in the hot spring at this time, they felt like they had fallen into a snowy mountain in winter!
Just before Asuka wanted to touch the sleeping Ojiaou's body, the pink-haired girl suddenly woke up, her eyes suddenly widened-at the same time, a cold breath like the polar circle instantly enveloped everyone present!
But Asuka was the one who suffered the most. She was sweating all over her body at this time. After all, she was the closest to Ojiaou.
"Light... Ugh!"
Ojiaou hurriedly covered her mouth, and then the polar-like cold aura suddenly withdrew, as if it had never appeared.
But Asuka could clearly remember Ojiaou's winter-like aura just now, so she hurriedly frowned and asked: "Ojiaou, what's wrong with you?"
"No... nothing." Ojiaou covered her mouth and shook her head: "Well, I'm done, I'm leaving first."
So, without waiting for Asuka and others to react, Ojiaou left first.
Asuka, Junko and Baihui looked at each other, only the silent, transparent-looking Yu Zi blinked at this time, as if thinking about something.
——————Ice Barrier Dragon·Light Spear Dragon——————
["Why did you suddenly get angry just now? You scared Asuka."]
In the locker room, while putting on her clothes, Ojiaou complained in her heart about the "Ice Barrier Dragon·Light Spear Dragon" who suddenly showed his might and disturbed her "Salted Fish Swelling Plan".
That's right, the momentum just now was actually emitted by the light spear, and at this time, the blue-haired little girl was kneeling beside Ojiaou with a wronged look on her face, lowering her head to explain: ["Um, didn't you fall asleep just now? I just wanted to say hello to her..."]
["Say hello..."] Thinking about the behavior of the light spear just now, Ojiaou thought in her heart that this might be her way of "saying hello" in her duel elf hometown? But this is absolutely not allowed in the human world: [“If you say hello, you should say it at a level that humans can bear, right?”]
[“This is the level of humans!”] As if because Ojiaou’s tone had softened, Guangqiang shook his little feet and said confidently: [“In our place, when humans say hello to each other, the scale is bigger.”]
Ojiaou remembered that the world where Guangqiang was seemed to be a world with high combat power, the kind where human-shaped nuclear bombs run around.
In this way, the “level of humans” she mentioned is not... weird!
【"When in Rome, do as the Romans do."】At this time, Ojiaou had already put on her clothes and was walking out of the bathhouse: 【"This world is not as cruel as you used to be. Among the group of people just now, Zi is even in poor health. You can't scare her, understand?"】
【"Zi? Is it the girl with short black hair?"】At this time, Ulala, who had been watching the game, interrupted: 【"She is in poor health? Why do I feel..."】
"Ojiaou, is it?" However, at this time, Ojiaou was suddenly stopped by a senior sister - this senior sister was wearing the badge of the Duel Academy Student Union, "Can... trouble you for a while? Just disturb you for a while."
Ojiaou stopped Hui Liuli from speaking and nodded to the senior sister.
—————— Hui Liuli——————
"Professor Chronos is looking for you."
Outside the bathhouse of the Duel Academy, the senior sister of the Student Union told Ojiaou only this sentence, followed by some questions about her recent physical condition, which need not be mentioned here.
Ojiaou is an excellent student with her own professor. For that senior, Ojiaou is likely to work with her in the student union in the future, so it is just a basic operation to show her more care in advance; and even if Ojiaou has no interest in the student union, it is also very good to have a good relationship with this junior who will definitely have a great future.
After finally letting this senior who was a little too close leave, Ojiaou followed the location that the senior said and came to the place where Professor Chronos had an appointment.
And here, she happened to see someone she had thought of meeting before:
Yujo Judai.
