He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

Upon hearing this, the teacher froze on the spot.

"Are you going to report me to the dean? Or do you want me to do something for you in order to let me go?"

"Hmph... guess~"

After saying that, Xie Bai walked straight past him without saying anything.

The teacher and the others were left standing there bewildered.

……

Once outside, the two little ones surrounded Xie Bai and asked:

"Sister Xiaobai, why didn't you expose him to his face just now?"

"He clearly doesn't seem like a good person."

Faced with the two children's questions, Xie Bai stopped in his tracks.

"I don't want to get too involved in these trivial matters of the Dome Academy. Besides, I'm quite curious to see when that dean will realize what's going on. Judging from their reactions just now, they might actually believe it."

As she spoke, she looked at Julius.

What do you think?

When Xie Bai asked him a question, Julius pondered for a moment.

"I don't know. But if the cult leader were to come, he would probably use this opportunity to bewitch that teacher and plant a spy in the Dome Academy."

Upon hearing Julius's reply, Xie Bai crossed his arms.

"So it seems I'm quite kind, aren't I?"

"Well... I think so."

Julius nodded.

Although he felt that Xie Bai had made things even more chaotic, not much better than the cult leader, after a slight hesitation, he decided to keep his thoughts to himself.

For some reason, he seemed to see a trace of the sect leader in Xie Bai.

At least this purely spectator mentality is very similar to that of the cult leader.

"Oh, right."

Xie Bai suddenly said.

"Julius, when you participate in the competition, will you be competing solely on the physical track, or will you be doing it together with the magic track?"

Julius thought carefully for a moment when faced with Xie Bai's question.

"Anything is fine."

……

the next day.

On the largest aerial platform of the Dome Academy, people from all over the Alliance gathered.

Xavier sat on the central podium, lost in thought.

"You mean, there are 6,500 participants from other academies who are still receiving treatment after forcing their way into the first level of the tower?"

In response to Xavier's question, the assistant beside him replied:

"That's right. The specific reason has been found: because Kairos and his group challenged the tower too quickly, the tower triggered a balancing mechanism, causing the difficulty to skyrocket."

"The teacher in charge of supervision failed to provide timely feedback and has now been dismissed and is under investigation."

Upon hearing this, Xavier looked at his assistant in confusion.

"Even so, don't those contestants realize something's wrong? Why are they all so fixated on the first level?"

The assistant adjusted his glasses and responded.

"It is said that there was a student from the Destiny Department who easily resolved the battle using the Destiny Cards of Divination, which dealt a heavy blow to those contestants who had always looked down on the Destiny Department."

After hearing his assistant's explanation, Xavier clutched his face.

Fate/stay night...

Oh.

Fate is tied to Kelos, Nemo, and a few exceptional freshmen.

Keros and Nemo are still challenging the tower, wondering who exactly that Fate student who showed off his skills on the first floor is.

It's really hard to guess.

Although Xavier was reluctant to dwell on the matter, the news that "the Fate Department of the Dome Academy uses Fate Cards in battle" had already spread.

Many people want to come to the Fate System to learn this combat technique; it's completely unstoppable.

Thinking of this, Xavier asked his assistant again.

"Does Ivy have a student named... Nai, Naili?"

The assistant nodded.

"Yes, Dean. You deducted ten credits from her back then, and she's still doing missions in the Shadow World to pay off her debt."

"Hmm...this name sounds quite similar to Neferi from back then. By the way, how are her combat abilities? Can she use the Destiny Cards?"

"That student's combat ability is indeed quite good. He can traverse the shadow world without any problems and can also use some Destiny Cards."

"That's good. Immediately inform Ivy and have her instruct Nellie on the combat methods of the Destiny Cards, and explain to the public that this was the student who made the move on the first floor."

"Yes, Dean. By the way, the competition needs to be postponed for a while because the participants are still undergoing treatment. Those currently watching the competition..."

When asked by his assistant, Xavier thought for a moment.

"Let me explain this."

After saying that, he stood up from the stage and addressed the audience below.

"Ladies and gentlemen, due to some unforeseen circumstances, we have decided to postpone the match. The specific time will be determined later."

The sound echoed throughout the audience, and before Xavier could explain further, the crowd below erupted in uproar.

"What accident? I think they did it on purpose!"

"My students went to participate in some kind of tower trial yesterday, and they haven't resumed operations yet!"

"They call themselves the strongest academy, but in the end, they resort to this kind of method to suppress other contestants!"

"I thought Dome Academy had pretty big ambitions within the Alliance, but now they're not even bothering to pretend anymore!"

Just as everyone was indignant, a calm voice rang out.

"Quiet."

Instantly, everyone present fell silent.

Faced with this scene, Xavier on the host's platform looked toward the source of the sound.

A young-looking man with long blue hair sat in the center, looking around with disdain.

"Galost?"

Xavier was filled with disbelief when he saw the other person appear.

In the Western Continent, and even throughout the entire world, whenever magic is mentioned, this person is inevitably brought up.

Five hundred years ago, after he reached the top of the tower, he left the Dome Academy and began his legendary life.

Four hundred years ago, he single-handedly translated all the ancient magical materials, further improving the magical system and shortening the spellcasting time by at least half.

Three hundred years ago, he single-handedly drove the demons who were invading the Eastern Alliance back to the far west of the Western Continent.

Two hundred years ago, when faced with the magical tide that swept the world, Gerald remained silent, but he deciphered it and eradicated it completely in three years.

Since then, no one has ever seen the magician again.

Now that he has suddenly appeared here, how could Xavier not be wary?

Before he could speak, Gallost suddenly addressed the crowd.

"Are you all so opposed to the Dome Academy and trying to discredit my background?"

Faced with Galloster's questioning, none of them dared to respond.

Galloster shook his head at this.

"If that's the case, then why do you think the Dome Academy is deliberately suppressing them? Instead of believing your people are too weak?"

Upon hearing this, Xavier on the stage immediately suppressed all his fear of Galloster.

So, does this extremely arrogant legendary magician still cherish the old friendship with the academy?

What Xavier didn't know was that Gallost's protection of the Dome Academy at this time was not out of any "old feelings".

in his perspective.

A figure in white, wearing the badge of the Dome Academy, sat in the competition seat...

Look at him.
