In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

"???"

Xia Mu blinked, and after hearing the story, her expression changed immediately. She then gritted her teeth and looked back in the direction she had come from.

"As expected... it really is Sayuri, isn't it?"

"I've made up my mind. I should take the [Sacred Artifact] back from her. If this continues, she'll completely ruin my reputation..."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, preparing to walk back, but Shiroshima, sensing something was wrong, quickly grabbed him: "Wait, Natsuki-sensei, Sayuri...she..."

After thinking for a long time, Shiroshima finally looked at Natsuki seriously and said, "Sayuri is actually a very good girl!"

"Ok?"

Natsuki turned around and looked at her in surprise: "Shiroshima-san, what's going on? When did you two become so close?"

Under such gazes, Shiroshima blushed slightly, then recalled that not long ago, when they took Sayuri home, she had heard Sayuri's soft thank you, and she had smiled and nodded.

"Although Sayuri sometimes does things that I can't understand, she is actually a very kind girl."

"She's the same age as me, but when danger comes, she chooses to face it alone. Even if she's scared, she won't say it directly. I think that's why I like her."

Listening to Shiroshima's heartfelt words, Natsuki realized that Sayuri was indeed always the first to be hit in every battle, but in the end, she was just a little girl in her teens!

However, upon hearing what Shiroshima said next, and seeing the other person's increasingly flushed cheeks, Natsuki still showed a strange expression.

Could it be that these two girls have developed a relationship that goes beyond friendship behind my back?

In fact, it was simply because Xia Mu's eyes were fixed on Shiroshima, and even though she was trying to remain calm, she couldn't help but feel shy.

"However, regarding the matter of the fixed—cough cough, the [Sacred Relic], I think Shirashima-kun has definitely misunderstood. It's just a self-defense tool that I, as your teacher, am giving you!"

"really?"

"definitely!"

"Then, I'll trust Teacher Natsuki for now..."

Shirashima covered her mouth and chuckled, but a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

……

Chapter 63 Void & Frost Giant

now.

In a completely dark space.

In the very center is a huge long table with 26 chairs from top to bottom.

On the back of these chairs are engraved completely different patterns, and their images are clearly some kind of dangerous and ghostly creatures!

clang!

The black mist suddenly surged, and on the back of one of the chairs, the eyes on the pattern lit up at the same time, and a figure dressed in a black robe slowly emerged from the chair.

After it appeared, several more figures materialized out of thin air. They were all dressed in black robes, their faces shrouded in black mist, and a mysterious and eerie aura gradually filled the space.

Finally, when the last figure in black robes appeared at the head of the table, the others raised their heads slightly. Their eyes, hidden beneath the black mist, glowed red, and an ancient, solemn voice rang out.

"Is everyone here now?"

At this moment, a figure in black robes glanced at the empty seat on the chair next to him, and a youthful voice rang out from beneath the black mist:

"Z hasn't arrived yet, that's really rare!"

"I just heard last time that he was planning to launch a rank challenge. Is it because he's too afraid of my strength that he didn't show up? Hahaha..."

The so-called rank challenge refers to the way that members ranked lower challenge those ranked higher. Once the challenge is successful, their own code name is automatically replaced with the winner's, and they will also gain a higher rank.

However, in this hierarchical organization, the order of code names actually symbolizes a huge gap in strength.

The further you go, the more terrifying the gap in strength becomes!

At least in the past few years, there have been very few rank challenges, so they naturally still remember Z's bold words.

The boy let out a wild laugh, only to be interrupted by the person at the head of the table: "He won't be coming again."

"What do you mean?"

"That guy is dead."

"hiss--"

The boy paused for a moment, then inhaled. The black mist swirled around the faces of the other figures in black robes, and they seemed to be fluctuating as well.

In fact, during the period when the Illuminati was founded, although there were occasional challenges to higher ranks, there were very few things in the outside world that threatened their lives.

Most importantly, this is the second time in ten years that an Illuminati member has died!

"What's going on? That guy, even though his codename is Z and he's a bit weak, shouldn't have been killed so easily. Who exactly is the enemy?"

Beneath the black mist, the boy seemed to frown.

Since joining the Illuminati, they have become increasingly aware of the gap between themselves and ordinary humans. Even Z can easily withstand attacks from guns and ammunition. If the power of the demons is added, they can be described as modern-day demons!

Although certain rules prevent them from wantonly committing acts of slaughter, to a certain extent, as long as they are within the black mist or barrier, members of the Illuminati are virtually invincible!

"The reason for Z's disappearance has not yet been found, but what is certain is that the last place he disappeared was in Tokyo!"

"It's in Tokyo?"

The boy uttered unexpected words, noticing the confusion of the person at the head of the table. He looked up, and a phantom image was projected from the red light beneath the black mist.

If Natsuki were here, he would definitely be able to recognize the phantoms immediately: the red-clothed female ghost, the slit-mouthed woman, Nakamura Ichiro, and even the ghost that possessed Mizuno, the school doctor!

"During this time, all the guys I deployed to Tokyo disappeared without a trace. I thought they had run off to another location, but it seems their disappearance is not so simple..."

The boy spoke with emotion, yet his words revealed a chilling killing intent!

"Tokyo is my territory, so let me help out. I've come up with a new idea recently. If I can successfully capture those guys, I think I can give them a real taste of what it means to wish they were dead, hehehehe..."

The head of the group nodded: "Alright, let's leave this to Y! And V, you happen to be nearby, so come along too. Make sure to find the enemy within five days!"

At first, the boy wanted to object, but after hearing the rest, he subconsciously glanced at the figure on a certain chair, and the face hidden in the black mist couldn't help but show a look of fear.

"They actually let this guy come along too..."

V did not object, but simply nodded quietly. Every figure cast a curious glance at him, after all, besides V, he also had another title, Void, which translates to nothingness!

In the Illuminati, each member's abilities differ based on the characteristics of their respective spirits, and their titles indirectly represent their abilities.

Like Void, which represents nothingness, and Ymir, the Frost Giant, who is that boy, and as for the vanished Z, he also has his own title, Zero.

As the meeting ended, the person at the top waved, and the members below disappeared one by one until only his solitary figure remained.

Recalling the repulsive aura he felt before Z disappeared, an ancient and solemn voice echoed: "What exactly was it..."

……

The darkness brought by the Illuminati did not cause any disturbance to the city. When the sun rose again from the east, people began a new day.

As usual, Xia Mu continued her self-training while carrying out her daily teaching work at the academy.

After the liquid inside the cross necklace overflowed again, his physical strength noticeably improved.

Although this change wasn't as dramatic as the first "upgrade," his previous physical training was clearly insufficient, so he simply doubled it again before he felt a faint sense of his limits.

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but besides my physical fitness, my skin condition seems to have changed as well.

The result was that the added charm of his every move made the gazes he felt during class even more intense. He even suspected that if he didn't have the identity of a teacher, he would probably have been forcibly "rushed" by the gaze.

Even so, he's still my student, he shouldn't do something like that, right?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when, in the instant he turned his head, a pair of eyes, like those of hungry wolves, suddenly appeared before him.

"Teacher Natsuki!!!"

"Mr. Xia Mu! I want to ask you a question! Don't run away!!!"

"Aaaaaah! Ms. Natsuki! Please come and be our club's advisor! We need you!!!"

"..."

The sounds rose and fell, completely surrounding Xia Mu. He blinked, then decisively turned and ran!

Thus began a unique spectacle of "chase and escape" that could only be seen in Tokyo Gakuen.

……

Chapter 64 Spring Dream

"Phew, they probably haven't caught up yet."

Xia Mu pressed his ear against the door, listening to the frenzied voice gradually fade away, and he immediately let out a breath.

"Is this a side effect of the Holy Light? If it continues like this, it'll be troublesome..."

He frowned, subconsciously glancing around, and realized that the room he had unintentionally wandered into seemed somewhat familiar!

"This white coat... and... wait, is this the school clinic?"

As soon as Xia Mu finished speaking, she noticed a slender figure reflected on the white cloth behind the curtain in the corner of the room and suddenly asked in confusion, "That familiar voice, could it be Teacher Xia Mu?"

"Ahem, it's me, Mizuno-sensei."

Natsuki stopped running away again, scratching the back of his head as he said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Mizuno-sensei, I rushed in without telling you—"

"It's alright. Luckily it was Teacher Xia Mu. If it had been any other man, I might have been really startled, haha!"

As Mizuno spoke, he casually pulled back the curtain. Natsuki looked closely and almost wondered if he had fallen victim to some kind of ghostly trick again!

She was still wearing the same purple lace suit as before, her tall figure showcasing her hot curves, and her snow-white skin shone brightly in the sunlight, like the most beautiful gem in the world, making it impossible to look away.

Mizuno made no attempt to hide her most beautiful figure from the man's eyes. The allure of her every move seemed even more "terrifying" than before. At least in Tokyo Academy, Natsuki only felt this strong visual impact from Mizuno!

Why does it seem like Ms. Mizuno has gotten a little older?

As Natsuki muttered to himself, Mizuno approached, a faint smile playing on her lips as she reached out and took the clothes and white coat from Natsuki's back, all while the man looked on with admiration.

This seemingly simple action completely revealed the deep trench to the man.

Sometimes, Xia Mu even wondered if Mizuno was more like a transmigrator than himself, a reincarnation of a succubus, who was born with an allure!

Otherwise, how can you explain that even a man of steel like himself almost couldn't control himself under the blessing of the holy light?
