More than half of the huge playground was destroyed, and even the running track was almost completely ruined. The once beautiful lawn was scorched black by the flames. It will probably cost a lot of money to rebuild it.

Anyway, I have no money!

But the fault for this lawn should be attributed to me...

However, I was so focused on fighting Peach Demon King that I didn't pay any attention to the damage I caused to the academy.

Therefore, the maintenance costs for the academy's playground should be attributed to Teacher Peach Demon King.

However, with this chaotic mess and the sky already pitch black, the moonlight can no longer illuminate the entire playground. It seems that finding my treasured sword, Chenyue, will still take some time.

"Let's help too."

Betty and Elena arrived shortly afterward, though they were both quite out of breath.

Are all mages so physically weak...?

Perhaps it's because the goddess Nana granted me about three times the power of a normal person, but my stamina is also greatly enhanced. In addition, I sparred with Louise every day, so running this distance doesn't even make me pant.

"Okay, then I'll search the left side of the playground, and Elena and Teacher Betty will search the right side of the playground, okay?"

"No...no problem."

It seems that Alina is even more out of breath than Teacher Betty. It looks like I have a pretty good idea of ​​what to train her in.

"Wow...!"

After searching the dimly lit playground for about ten minutes, we suddenly heard Ms. Betty shout.

"what happens?"

I immediately took off running in the direction where Ms. Betty was shouting.

However, to everyone's surprise... there were three or four men lying on the ground, dressed in black mage robes...

If I'm not mistaken, this should be one of the college's teachers.

"Why would a teacher from the academy suddenly be lying here? Could some bad guys have come to the academy?"

At this moment, Elena also rushed over upon hearing the noise, and said with an incredulous expression.

"Well, I don't know..."

Just then, Ms. Betty jumped directly off the rocky ruins and checked on each of them to check their physical condition.

"How was it? How was it?"

Elena and I jumped down as well, and then asked directly.

"Hmm...it's nothing serious, but it looks like they were struck by lightning. Look at their hands."

At this moment, Ms. Betty quickly pointed to their hands and said...

"what……"

I quickly squinted and, using the very dim moonlight, began to examine the wounds of the three male magic academy teachers.

Sure enough, they all had burns of varying degrees on their right palms from being struck by lightning, and one magic academy teacher's hand was charred black, indicating that he had been continuously struck by lightning for a long time before it turned out like this.

"Or...did those teachers touch something they shouldn't have?"

At this point, Elena couldn't help but start guessing.

"Well……"

But the more I think about it, the more something seems off. Their hand-painted parts are injured, which proves that they touched or pulled out something.

Wait... what are you pulling out?

A sudden flash of inspiration struck me.

Could it be that he wants to pull out my precious sword, Chenyue?

At that very moment, I frantically turned my head like a rattle-drum, searching around. Perhaps it really could be my treasured sword, Chenyue.

"What are you looking for?"

Elena asked quickly.

"Perhaps... it really was that thing that did it..."

To be honest, I'm a little hesitant to say this, because I never imagined that my precious sword, Chenyue, would have such power, that even the teachers in the academy couldn't touch it.

These teachers are at least at level five or above. If they can't even touch it, it proves that there's something wrong with the Moon-Sinking Sword.

Sure enough, not far away, there was a gleaming weapon, with a third of its blade embedded in the stone ground.

"Um, Alina."

"Um, what's wrong, Ivy? Could you touch the hilt of that sword with the back of your index finger?"

Actually, I'm just guessing, and it might not even be true. Why don't I let Elena try it for me?

Because there's absolutely no way I could get an electric shock, since I've used it hundreds of times.

"What's there to be afraid of? I..."

"No! I told you to touch it with the back of your index finger, never touch it with your hand!"

I immediately shouted at Elena, because it really was the sword Chenyue that caused this. If Elena touched it with her hand, she would definitely suffer the same fate as the fallen magic academy teachers.

If Alina and I become enemies again, how am I supposed to live peacefully at the academy?

"I know, I know."

And so, Alina did indeed intend to touch the hilt of the sword Shenyue with the back of her index finger.

"It's just a sword... Aaaaah!"

In an instant, a bolt of lightning struck Elena's finger directly from the hilt of the sword Chenyue, causing her to cry out in pain.

"Ouch...it hurts so much."

At this moment, Elena squatted down on the ground, tears streaming down her face from the pain.

"Indeed, it was that sword that did it. It was wise of you, Miss, to have the back of your finger touch it."

However, Ms. Betty covered for me, because if I didn't, Elena would definitely blame me.

"Ivy, you're so mean... you actually used me as a guinea pig."

At this moment, Elena pouted and glared at me with great displeasure.

But Elena, with tears in her eyes and staring at me, was so cute. If I could, I'd like to hug her and comfort her.

"In that case, then..."

Actually, I'm a little uneasy right now, because if I touch it and get struck by the lightning of the Moon-Sinking Sword, wouldn't I be in excruciating pain?

But I can't leave it undrawn, because this precious sword, Chenyue, belongs only to me. If I can't draw it, then who can?

No matter what, even though I'm most afraid of pain, I have to pull it out.

Immediately afterwards, I stiffly and slowly walked towards the Sword of Sinking Moon, because I was actually feeling really cowardly right now...

"Um, Ivy, what are you doing?!"

When she saw me approach the Sword of the Moon, Ms. Betty suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Actually, Ms. Betty was afraid that I would take a risk and get electrocuted.

Elena and I were actually children. Children are different from adults because their internal organs are not fully developed, so they could easily be struck by lightning and die instantly...

“I’m sorry, Ms. Betty, this sword is actually the one I lost. So no matter what, even if I get struck by lightning, I will retrieve it, because it is my only family crest and the only keepsake left to me by my father and mother!”

Without saying a word, I raised my trembling hand and reached for the hilt of the precious sword, Chenyue.

Chapter Fifty-Four: The Legendary Golden Sword, Aurora Blade

At this moment, my heart was in my throat, and even the protection of the exorcism ring wouldn't be of much use.

Because the lightning strike on the hilt of the Moonlit Sword should be instantaneous, while the exorcism ring needs a little time to block magic each time, I will still be injured by the lightning strike.

"Ugh, I don't care anymore!"

I couldn't help but swallow hard, then closed my eyes and swiftly reached for the precious sword, Chenyue, in front of me.

I couldn't wait any longer. It was so late, and Louise might already be looking for me everywhere, so I couldn't waste any more time.

The very next second, my hand must have touched the cold hilt of the sword.

However, the surroundings were strangely calm, and I didn't feel the slightest bit of lightning striking my hand...

So, this sword, Chenyue, has chosen its master? Does that mean I'm the only one who can touch it?

At that moment, I pulled it forcefully from the ground and held it high in the air.

Ha, I really feel like a hero who has drawn a holy sword, so glorious.

In an instant, a golden light flashed, illuminating the surrounding area...

Eh, I don't remember what kind of light this sword, Chenyue, would emit, and this light isn't something I release myself, but rather... it emanates from itself.

The very next second, cracks appeared on the blade of my precious sword, Chenyue, and its light became even more intense than before…

What the heck?! How did this precious sword crack?!
