You think you're worthy of saving the world?

Yuri sat back in his chair, watching her quietly: "There will always be someone who tries to stop you, but luckily that person is me and not someone else."

The girl with long, straight black hair bit her lip and suddenly looked at the boy with a fawning expression.

“I know… Yuri, you want me to serve you like Teacher Eileen did, right?”

"Sure, of course you can..."

"Hehe, what a silly child. Even if you didn't say it, I've always thought the same thing."

"Not only me, but everyone in the Lily Cross is willing to serve Lord Yuri and do anything for you... We will always be together..."

Yuri coldly interrupted her: "My side is a streamlined group that prioritizes merit, and the only person we want is you, senior."

As for those who can't keep up... the Lily Cross is no longer needed; they'll only get in the way.

"Why did you say such hurtful things..."

Amelod's eyes widened, his teeth clenched, and tears streamed down his face.

"How could Yuri say such hurtful things? It's really too much... I hate you! I despise you!"

"Please, Lord Yuri... I really, really want the Lily Cross to continue..."

"So...so..."

"I'll do anything you ask... I'll do anything... Please... help me, Lord Yuri..."

"It seems that you need to stay calm, senior."

Yuri calmly got up from the chair.

"I'll do it again when you've calmed down and are willing to cooperate with me."

As she said this, Yuri turned her back to her and said, "Everyone is worried about you, and I hope you can come back soon."

"Yuri! Stop right there!!!"

Amelod roared and stopped the boy who was about to leave.

Yuri turned to face her.

"let me go."

"I said no."

Amelod gritted his teeth and glared at Yuri.

Seeing this, the black-haired boy sighed and walked to her side.

"It seems you still haven't grasped one fact, Senior Amelod."

"What?" Amelod frowned slightly.

“I am no longer the Yuri you know… Don’t think that I will give in to you just because you continue to be so willful and spoiled.”

Yuri and Amelod faced each other, their faces filled with anger.

“Your parents have already reported you to the Knights Templar, so I don’t know how much time I can keep you here.”

"I hope you can take some time to think it through and figure out what is truly important to you."

"What if I don't listen?" the girl with long, straight black hair asked coldly.

"Then I'll have no choice but to do something offensive to my senior."

As Yuri said this, she raised her hand and ripped off the black lace fabric from her upper body.

The fair skin trembled and shook.

"Oh dear—!"

A girl's humiliated screams echoed in the basement.

Yuri closed the iron gate.

140 Auntie, can you cosplay as my daughter and let me have her?

"By the way, have you heard?"

In the seminary's lounge, a girl with a mysterious expression casually tossed out a topic to those around her.

"Senior Aimerod went somewhere in the middle of the night and never came home."

"Emerold from the Dietrich family, I remember she was an outstanding student who received a commendation from the Vatican last year, right?"

"Yes, he hasn't been home for two days in a row, and he doesn't seem to be coming to school either."

"Would a top student run away from home?"

A girl said with a smile.

"Could it be related to the recent 'Phantom' incident?"

"Huh? So the 'Phantom' doesn't only target older men, it also preys on beautiful girls? I guess I'll have to worry about my safety then~"

Another female student laughed as she spoke, and everyone around her burst into laughter.

In the past two weeks, a series of assassinations of Augusta nobles have occurred in the Upper City.

These incidents were attributed to a criminal known as "Ghost," causing widespread panic among the nobility.

"Can the Knights Templar catch the criminal soon? Otherwise we won't be able to go out and play after school anymore."

Although the incident has affected the seminary students, they still smiled nonchalantly and made such sarcastic remarks.

"Hey... um, um...!"

The laughter and chatter in the lounge came to an abrupt halt.

The reason was that a group of people walked in.

The largest "evil force" in St. Cromwell is the Lily Cross Knights, led by Euryphus.

Upon seeing them, the students immediately shut their mouths in fear.

“Emerold didn’t come to school today either,” Ruby said softly, resting her chin on her hand.

"Could it really be like the rumors say, that we encountered a 'ghost'?" Safia muttered to herself.

Yuri frowned: "Don't say such unlucky things. Senior Amelod isn't from Augusta, is she?"

"Then tell me, where did Amelod go? He's been missing for three days, three whole days! If he didn't encounter a 'Wraith,' what else could it be?"

Of course, she is Phantom herself.

Yuri said, "Perhaps they have embarked on a journey to find the real thing?"

His words were ignored, and Ruby pouted: "Could it be... that Amelod is being held captive by sex offenders!?"

"...Very likely!"

Safia stroked her chin: "If I were a sex offender, I'd also want to imprison Amelod in the basement of my house."

"You guys are so perceptive," Yuri thought to herself.

"Oh no! Lady Amelod has been...!"

The other girls in the Knights were terrified by the two men's "delusions" and started arguing indignantly.

Yuri gestured for everyone to be quiet: "However, this is not a solution. Let's also start a search in the upper city and do what we can for Amelod."

"Yes! Let's do it this way!" The female knights nodded in agreement.

Just as Yuri was about to continue, Safia grabbed his shoulder.

"Little Yuri, leave Amelod's matter to us. You have other things to take care of right now."

"indeed……"

Ruby chimed in, "You're going to the Papal Palace this Sunday to report on Stella's marriage, aren't you?"

"I almost forgot about it."

Yuri then remembered.

The Papal Court has arranged a new magic teacher for Yuri, in an attempt to replace his good friend Laudy.

She is said to be the vice-chairperson of Academy City, a peerless genius girl who has advanced to the eighth rank at a young age.

Academy City is the main stage for the first chapter of "Goddess of the End," and Yuri, the vice-chairman there, is naturally someone they know.

However, unlike Annabelle and Amelio, she and Yuri had virtually no connection in the original storyline.

Why would someone like that accept the Papal Court's invitation to come to the Papal City to be their teacher?

Yuri didn't think she was the kind of woman who would pursue the empty title of "savior's teacher".

Is this another butterfly effect?

……

……

……

That evening, Yuri came to Rosalia to report on his work.

Since tonight's meeting was not a secret rendezvous but a serious conversation, the two met not in their usual love nest but in the Grand Duke's reception room.

"Heh, as expected of little Yuri... I knew you'd be able to catch 'Phantom'."

The Grand Duchess wore a dark green aristocratic dress tonight.

Even the luxurious gown couldn't hide her curvaceous figure, with her snow-white, rounded breasts being particularly eye-catching.

She elegantly held a glass of champagne, murmuring with a beaming smile, her gaze towards Yuri radiating warmth.

"So the true form of 'Phantom' is a demonic sword from an Eastern land...?"

The demonic sword that manipulates human bodies—that's truly an unexpected outcome.

No wonder the Knights Templar were unable to capture "The Spectre"; who would have thought the real culprit was actually a top student from the seminary?

"Ah."

Yuri agreed, picked up a bottle of translucent blue elixir placed in front of him, and drank it down in one gulp.

In an instant, a feeling of lightness took over his mind.
