"What?!" Schneider exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible! How could your Word of Power awaken?"

Chu Zihang thought for a moment: "Perhaps it's because his potential was unleashed in the face of life and death."

Schneider was even more incredulous, and his voice involuntarily rose: "A life-or-death situation? What on earth happened?"

Recalling the knowledge he had just acquired, Chu Zihang said carefully, "We accidentally entered a Nibelungen."

"My Word Spirit was awakened at that time."

The boy's voice was very calm, but the words he said were like a bomb that caught Schneider off guard.

He stood there dumbfounded for a long time before finally realizing the problem. He turned sharply to look at Yuan Zhinv: "Why didn't you say something so important?"

Yuan Zhinv blinked in confusion: "Didn't I just say that I came back a little late because of a small problem?"

von Schneider: "?"

von Schneider: "..."

Chapter 34 A Plan Lasting Over a Decade

"You call this a trivial matter?"

His hoarse voice growled; von Schneider had rarely lost control like this.

He looked at Yuan Zhinu, who still had no expression in front of him, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. He suddenly remembered the terrible feeling he had when he was teaching students many years ago.

Yuan Zhinv didn't think she had said anything wrong at all, and spoke in a nonchalant tone as if she had just gone out for a trip.

"It's just a Nibelungen. We just killed a few deadpools and got out."

"Professor, you're just too naive. You should go out more often."

von Schneider: "?"

Von Schneider was speechless; he just felt a headache coming on.

But since he was his student after all, Schneider felt it was necessary to tell this fearless freshman a harsh truth.

"Deadpools are extremely terrifying things. They were all once hybrids, and their bloodlines mutated, eventually turning them into immortal monsters."

"Do you know that an ordinary Deadpool is even stronger than an A-level Specialist? Those things are extremely cruel; they are fearless of pain and crave flesh and blood—they are devils from hell!"

"The Nibelungen is full of these monsters. You were just lucky this time, you didn't encounter many and that's how you escaped! Never be so impulsive again!"

Having been in charge of the executive department for so long, Schneider hadn't encountered this situation in a long time. Although his executive department was blowing up buildings all over the world, at least they weren't courting death.

They are newborns, fearless and undaunted. As they grow older, they will realize how cruel the world is and how terrifying the monsters are.

Schneider thought to himself helplessly.

Yuan Zhinu was annoyed by his rambling and nodded haphazardly, "Professor, I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Schneider snorted angrily and said impatiently, "Let's go."

Yuan Zhinü felt as if she had been granted a pardon and left immediately.

Schneider watched the girl's hurried departure and earnestly lectured Chu Zihang: "You can't be like her, understand?"

"She's always fighting and killing, what kind of behavior is that! I really don't know who taught her to be so violent, she doesn't act like a girl at all!"

Chu Zihang looked thoughtful and remained silent.

After a moment's pause, Schneider suddenly remembered something and asked, "Now that you've awakened, what is your Word of Power?"

Chu Zihang: "Jun Yan."

Schneider was first stunned, then incredulous, and finally realized what was happening.

"Jun Yan... it's actually a high-risk Word of Power. No wonder you were able to get out of Nibelungen. How many Death Servants did you kill?"

Chu Zihang thought for a moment and said, "Three or four, I guess."

Schneider sighed: "Your Word of Power has only just awakened, yet you've already killed so many Death Servants. Your power far exceeds my expectations, but I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing..."

"However, you were quite lucky. If it weren't for this kind of high-risk Word of Power, you would never have been able to get out of Nibelungen."

Chu Zihang frowned: "But I was exhausted after killing only three or four Death Servants. We survived thanks to Liuli."

"Huh? What do you mean you only killed three or four? Just how many Dead Servants are there in the Nibelungen?"

“Hundreds or thousands, I can’t count them all,” Chu Zihang said. “They were all killed by Liuli. It was because I held her back that she got injured, which is why she came back late.”

Chu Zihang asked with utmost sincerity, "This is my problem, and I am willing to accept the punishment. Professor, could you please not blame her?"

Schneider was completely stunned.

"Hundreds or even thousands of Dead Servants... all killed by one person? How is that possible? What kind of bloodline is that? But isn't her Word of Power a snake?"

He abruptly turned his head to look at the tall figure leaving in the distance, and roared, "Kazama Ruri, you come back here!"

"I told you to pick someone up, and you took them to Deadpool's lair?!"

But the figure seemed not to hear, and instead walked even faster.

Chu Zihang asked somewhat uneasily, "Professor?"

Schneider took a deep breath, his throat gurgling with intense emotion, and his voice became even hoarse: "I'm fine."

"I want you to tell me everything that happened in the Nibelungen."

……

Yuan Zhinv returned to her dormitory.

The new students haven't arrived yet, and she's currently the only one in the entire dorm. She casually put her things down, and her phone chimed with a message from Sakurai Kogure.

The message was very simple, consisting of only an "OK" gesture.

This was something they had agreed upon long ago, which means everything is proceeding according to plan.

The principal is indeed a good collaborator, but Genjiro doesn't trust him.

Or perhaps, in this world, she only trusts herself.

It's true that she used the principal to leave Tokyo, and it's also true that she wanted to join forces to kill Herzog, but before that, Genji had her own plans.

But she didn't expect that after three years in Tokyo, she hadn't found Uesugi Yue, but she found him less than a month after leaving Japan.

It seems leaving Japan was the right decision. Herzog was too wary of her; he only let his guard down after she left.

Now that the people have been found, the next step is to make arrangements.

Genjiro had a clear plan: even if she couldn't kill Herzog immediately, she had to sabotage his plan. The most important part was to kill Tachibana Masamune in front of everyone and then find Uesugi Kotsugi.

Only when Tachibana Masamune died and the Snake-Headed Eight Families returned to Uesugi Echizen's hands did Herzog completely lose any opportunity to exploit.

Otherwise, even if Tachibana Masamune were killed, if the tortoise were to take control of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, it would likely still become Herzog's pawn, being manipulated and played around with.

As for the Demon Clan, Genji will personally take action, whether by violent suppression or by killing them all, she will not allow the King to rule again.

In this way, Herzog lost his two most important forces, making it difficult for him to stir up trouble again.

This plan had been in the works of Minamoto no Chiyome for a very long time, so long that she was just a weak little girl in the town of Shikari.

This is a plan that has lasted for more than a decade.

The plan was beautiful, but reality was cruel. At first, she was too weak and couldn't even leave the town. Later, she finally went to Tokyo and began to grow stronger, but she was always monitored and had no freedom.

In order not to alert Herzog, all plans had to be carried out secretly by Minamoto no Chie, but that was far too slow. Even though she knew that Uesugi Koshi was selling ramen near a university in Tokyo, she still couldn't find him for three whole years.

Tachibana Masamune's side hasn't seen a single ghost in three years either; they've been guarded against so thoroughly that they haven't had a single chance.

Therefore, she chose to leave Tokyo with the help of Angers.

As expected, things took an immediate turn for the better after he left.

Uesugi Koshi was successfully found, and Tachibana Masamune was no longer sneaking around like before. The situation was very good. The only regret was that they couldn't find the Dragon King by killing the embryo and couldn't persuade her to become a great help.

Now, Genji only has two things to consider.

How can he sneak back to Tokyo without alerting anyone, and then kill Tachibana Masamune in front of everyone?

And how to persuade Uesugi Koshi, who only wants to sell ramen, to go back and take over the Hebi-hachi family.

Chapter 35 Killing Weapons

"So, these two children have strayed into the Nibelungen? That legendary land of the dead?"

In the understated yet luxurious principal's office, Angers sat in his office chair, with several cups of steaming tea in front of him.

The handsome old man frowned slightly, looking at the masked man opposite him and questioning, "Then how did they escape? No one can come out of there alive."

“I don’t know the specifics, but they probably weren’t lying. I examined Chu Zihang’s wounds, and they were indeed wounds that only a Deadpool could have caused.”

Schneider's hoarse voice was particularly deep: "Chu Zihang said that it was raining heavily at the time, the navigation failed, and by the time they discovered the anomaly, they were already inside the Nibelungen."

"There are Deadpools everywhere, and a god riding an eight-legged horse wearing a silver-gray mask. According to the description, it seems to be Odin from Norse mythology."

“Odin?” Angers’s expression gradually turned serious. “Isn’t that something from legend? Let’s not throw mythology into this.”

"It should be the incarnation of some noble first-generation species, but according to them, that guy didn't move at all from beginning to end, it seems to be just a shadow."

"But because they stumbled upon it by mistake, they didn't know where the Nibelungen was located."

In the end, Schneider seemed to have a hint of regret in his tone.

"interesting."

Angers looked thoughtful, and seeing this, Schneider couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.

"Who exactly is this Kazama Ruri? According to Chu Zihang, she killed hundreds of Death Servants with her bare hands!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Schneider's incredulous voice unconsciously rose: "How could a human possibly do this?!"

Angers didn't answer his question; instead, he casually picked up a file from the table beside him and tossed it over.

Schneider hesitated before taking it, and Angers gestured for him to open it.

"Her real name is Minamoto no Chizuru, the second daughter of the Minamoto family. She was hidden in a remote town in Japan from a young age until she was seventeen. She was then brought out and trained as a killing weapon by an organization called the Demon Clan. Her code name is Kazama Ruri."

"From the age of seventeen to twenty, she carried out a total of 182 missions in Japan. The main task of the missions was to eliminate evil deeds committed by mixed-race individuals with top-tier bloodlines or bloodlines that were out of control, which others could not handle."

"As for how many people she has killed, no one knows, because her existence is solely for killing."
