Chapter 43: Curiosity or Malice

Just when Aize and Toto Kirin officially formed a partnership and devoted themselves to targeted training, as expected from the beginning, the news that the two of them were preparing to participate in the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival spread on the Internet at an astonishing speed.

The people who got the news first were naturally those other academies that were in competition with Xingdaoguan Academy.

To go further, they are the student council presidents who hold high positions of power in each academy.

…………

"——Huh, this sword again?"

In a dimly lit room, a man wearing a black student uniform and a school emblem with a double sword pattern on his chest snorted coldly.

The man was slightly fat and short in height, and his appearance could only be described as mediocre, but his eyes were particularly imposing, and his slightly fat face seemed to be filled with anger all the time, so tense that it was frightening.

In front of this slightly plump man, there is a spatial window playing a video.

The content of the video is the entire process of the duel between Aize and Toto Qilin.

The slightly plump man stared at the window angrily, or rather, he stared at the Black Furnace Demon Sword held in Aize's hand in the video.

When he saw Aize's whole body shining with starlight and releasing the heat of the Black Furnace Demon Sword, forming hot wind and heat waves that wrapped around his body, his imposing eyes changed slightly.

Become solemn and cold.

He opened another window beside him, which recorded Aize's personal intelligence information.

The details of this intelligence material are in no way inferior to the one that Toudou Koichirō gave to Toudou Kirin.

"...It's only been a month since I got the sword, but I'm able to unleash its power to this extent?"

The slightly plump man muttered to himself coldly.

After hesitating for a while, the slightly plump man picked up a phone.

This is a special communication tool that only he, as the student council president, can use.

"Although it's a bit worrying, in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, we have to start making preparations now."

The slightly plump man dialed the number with a twinkling look in his eyes.

"Release that woman and have her sign up for the Phoenix Star Martial Festival."

In the dim room, a cold and ruthless voice sounded faintly.

"Tell her that this mission is to completely destroy a person."

"The current number one ranked student at Seidoukan Academy, Aize."

"Destroy him for me."

…………

This is a retro space whose style is out of tune with the entire modern city.

Inside the space, there are pavilions, towers, bridges and flowing water. It is antique, magnificent and majestic, presenting an ancient oriental landscape, very much like an imperial palace.

In the deepest part of this space, on a chair that looked like a dragon throne, a little girl with a yellow dragon school badge on her chest was watching a video with great interest.

That video actually showed the entire process of the duel between Aize and Todo Qilin.

"Hoohoo, that's really good."

When the little girl saw the end, she actually clapped her hands happily.

"Although it is still a little immature, its style has already matured. It has great potential, great potential."

"Good seedlings, all good seedlings."

"If I were to teach her, she should be able to catch up with Xiaohui quickly, right?"

Although she was a little girl who looked less than ten years old, her tone was as mature as that of an elderly nanny, which made people feel particularly uncomfortable.

"What a shame, what a shame! Why aren't all the good seedlings from Jielong?"

"If it was Jielong's child, I would have accepted him as my disciple right now."

"Especially this..."

The little girl's gaze eventually turned to Aize in the video. Looking at his figure shining like stars in the heat wave, an unfathomable expression appeared on her face, which looked even more childish than Toto Kirin.

"I've never seen a skill before, a fighting style I've never imagined. Although there's no trace of it having been refined, it feels as if it was born naturally."

“Rather than saying it’s a rough jade that’s being carefully carved, it’s better to say it’s a rough stone that’s constantly growing stronger.”

"I can't quite tell what's hidden under that increasingly thick shell."

"It's strange, it's really strange." As she said this, a happier smile appeared on the little girl's face.

"Interesting, that's why this city is so interesting."

“Although it’s a little regrettable that it wasn’t made by me, I’m also looking forward to what this kid can achieve in the future.”

"Grow up as soon as possible, kid."

"I hope you can bring me the greatest pleasure!"

As she spoke, the little girl's expression became ferocious.

Just like a ferocious beast that chooses its prey.

…………

Asterisk, a redevelopment area.

As the name suggests, this is an area that has not yet been officially included in the urban area of ​​Asterisk.

If I had to find a word to describe this place, it would be slum.

Because this area is not only full of people who can't make it in the academy for various reasons, but also Star Vein Generation criminals who escaped into Asterisk from outside, so this area has long become a slum in the actual sense. It is not only backward, but also has many security concerns. It is very dangerous. It is considered a gray area in Asterisk, the dark side of this city.

There are even gangs here, and there are black streets built by gangs. Illegal businesses are everywhere here, and bad thugs and gang members can be seen everywhere. If you break in here casually, what will happen? It makes people feel frightened just thinking about it.

But in such a place, in one corner of it, there actually appeared a young girl in her prime.

The girl was dressed simply and wore a beret on her head. Her long chestnut hair fell naturally behind her, covering her overly delicate and slender back.

She sat on a piece of broken wall debris, one slender hand pressing the broken wall next to her, and the other hand gently tapping as if she was playing the piano, browsing the space window in front of her gracefully and naturally.

"Aize...?"

The girl chuckled pleasantly as she watched the boy swinging the Black Furnace Demon Sword and cutting off Toudou Kirin's school emblem.

"Sure enough, he is very strong."

Recalling what happened last time in the store that her classmates from her academy loved to go to, the girl's laughter sounded again.

"A four-color magic sword user like the one at Saint Galledovath Academy. He has obtained the Blackforge Magic Sword in such a short time, but he has been able to unleash the power of the magic sword to this extent. It's a good thing that I am keeping an eye on him."

At first, the girl actually didn't pay much attention to the boy.

He was just a user of a pure Xinghuang-style weapon. It was not like she had not seen one before. Even if he had the ability to grow into a high-ranking person, with her status and strength, generally speaking, she did not need to pay attention to people of this level.

The trigger was what happened in the store last time.

Perhaps the parties involved did not realize that at that time, the girl was actually listening to them and also looking at them.

So the girl saw that scene.

Seeing the pitch-black engine in the boy's hand, he didn't even want to be touched by others and only wanted to stay in the boy's hands.

Because of her special ability, the girl did sense a very weak will at that time.

That is the will of the magic sword.

A will that is close to dissatisfaction and close to blind loyalty.

At that moment, the girl was surprised to find that the boy might be more than just the user of the magic sword.

He is the true master of the magic sword.

He is the recognized king of the magic sword.

After the girl used her connections and channels to dig up information about the boy, she was surprised to find that the compatibility between the boy and the magic sword had exceeded the limit.

From that time on, the girl became curious about the boy and started to pay special attention to him.

"I wonder if he will participate in the Wang Long Xing Wu Festival?"

The girl muttered to herself.

"It would be interesting to meet him at the Wang Long Xing Wu Festival, right?"

The girl waved her hand, closed the window, and jumped down from the ruins lightly.

"I look forward to seeing you again, Aize-san."

As if singing, the girl hummed a very beautiful tune, then turned and left.

Behind him, people dressed like bad boys, holding various weapons, fell to the ground, and there was no movement for a long time...
