Magic High School.

So she had to stay, but Li Ge and the others could escape and leave.

Life here must be very stressful, but perhaps it is this stress that has made them the only two people besides Lola who have not yet been infected with the blood disease that Li Ge has seen.

"Auntie, I'm going back to school now. I'll probably be back with reinforcements soon," Li Ge said with a smile, holding Lola's hand.

"Well, pick up a few girls at school and bring them back, so we can have more descendants," Auntie said with a smile, uttering such lewd words.

Li Ge's expression instantly faltered, and without hesitation, he activated the one-time teleportation card.

……

Meanwhile, Albion, who had just been punished by the Empire's high command, saw Ronan, who had now become the director.

His face was a fascinating sight. Ronan was someone he had just recruited, but after he was removed from his position as director, Ronan became the director himself.

At this moment, only he himself knows what he feels.

Albion had a sour look on his face and wanted to leave immediately.

“Albion, you shouldn’t have done this, even for the future of the Empire,” Ronan suddenly called out to him.

"The future of the empire?" Albion seemed to laugh. "The entire empire's two regions and thirteen nobles are all on my shoulders. You are not qualified to talk to me about the empire's future!"

"But this is the future you're carrying. Look at Viona now, look what she's become!" Mayor Ronan said bluntly, showing no mercy to his old friend.

"You..." Albion's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he gasped for breath. After a long struggle, he finally managed to blurt out, "Ronan, you're too naive. You'll regret this!"

"I am the director!" Ronan immediately roared.

"Bang!" Albion slammed the door shut and stormed out.

Chapter 60: The Academy's Past - 30 Years of Underworld Intrigue (Please continue reading)

In the plaza of the magic high school.

Li Ge breathed in the fresh air, and the feeling of not having [Blood Thirst Disease] in her field of vision was simply wonderful.

Even here, he doesn't have to worry about being attacked from behind or his life being in danger. Li Ge only needs to focus on his studies.

“Lola, let me introduce you, this is my school…” Li Ge stretched out her hand, then froze on the spot.

Because Lola's body gradually became transparent, as if a bug had occurred.

At first, it was only slightly transparent, but within a short period of time, it gradually began to change towards semi-transparency.

“No, no…” Li Ge was immediately filled with questions.

When she became semi-transparent, Lola looked at herself with great confusion and said, "Uncle, it seems like I... have become a spirit?"

Li Ge: "?"

"Hey junior, why are you talking to thin air?" a senior student passing by asked, quite puzzled.

She couldn't see Lola, and therefore couldn't hear Lola's voice.

No...why...?

Lola is a spirit, or even a "ghost" in the traditional sense.

Is this right? This doesn't seem right...

Li Ge immediately covered his head; he felt a sharp pain in his head, as if his brain was about to grow out.

Despite the pain from the side effects, Li Ge grabbed Lola and immediately ran towards the vice principal's office.

……

"Principal, Principal! This junior was screaming in pain just now, and he kept saying he wanted to come find you." A senior dressed in a classic witch outfit helped Li Ge up and knocked on the door of the vice principal's office.

Li Ge: "..."

He only cried out "It hurts, it hurts so much" a few times, not to the point of screaming, okay?

Oh well, whatever.

"Come in." The vice principal still had a fairly deep impression of Li Ge.

At the very least, just by seeing the lion in Li Ge's pupils, one can remember who this kid really is.

Lola followed timidly behind Li Ge, but the witch senior seemed to completely ignore Lola.

"I'll be going now," the witch senior said goodbye, then flew away on her skateboard.

"Li Ge, what's wrong?" The vice principal glanced at the date and said, "You've only been home for one day, how did things get like this?"

The vice principal thought it was a common situation, such as someone being bullied by local bullies in their hometown and coming back to the school to complain and get his support.

Li Ge silently looked at the vice principal, and then the vice principal's gaze gradually became strange.

"Li Ge, do you know that there is a 'ghost' following you?" Only after the vice principal said this did Li Ge breathe a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, it wasn't just me who could see it.

Lola shrank back further, looking at the seemingly kind but actually quite fierce principal with a hint of fear.

However, the vice principal, as if he could read minds, immediately said, "It's not a problem with the transmission, but rather that the child you brought here has a problem. In the real world, she is merely a soul."

Li Ge: "?"

No, that's not right. He was with Lola the whole time. Lola has body temperature, she has a physical form, she wants to eat when she's hungry, and she drinks when she's thirsty. How could she be a ghost?

"Please explain in detail, Li Ge, from beginning to end, your experiences in your hometown." The vice principal's expression was very serious, his face as dark as a madman's.

This was the first time Li Ge had ever seen the vice principal, this sleazy old man, show such a terrifying expression, so she immediately recounted her entire experience.

From the moment I got home, I discovered I had anemia, and then I witnessed a homeless man who, after dying, went from having anemia to being an anemia sufferer...

Li Ge recounted his experiences without reservation. When he mentioned seeing the labels "meme contamination" and "blood thirst" above Mayor Ronan's head, the vice principal almost clenched his fists.

Although there was no clear evidence, the vice principal naturally thought of the students who had been gradually twisted into memetic monsters after taking the potion.

In that case, Li Ge's hometown wouldn't be some rural place; it might even be the origin of this magical potion.

When Li Ge revealed the information her aunt had given her—that the blood-thirsty disease was a curse from God or the will of Heaven—the vice principal's face turned very grim.

"Finally, I was going to take Lola back to school. She's an excellent child and she's sure to awaken a Noble Phantasm of the sense of smell. But I don't know why she turned out like this?" After saying that, Li Ge covered his forehead tightly.

The pain has not yet subsided.

Lola seemed to want to rub Li Ge's head, but she passed right through Li Ge's body in an instant.

They can't physically contact each other now, but they can still see each other.

After listening to the entire account, the vice principal clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. After a full ten seconds of silence, he slowly exhaled a scorching breath, which condensed into tiny ice crystals in the air.

“Li Ge…” His voice was hoarse for a moment, then returned to normal, “Although you acted impulsively and recklessly this time… now, leave it to us.”

"And this little girl in spirit form, don't be discouraged. Our school has treatment methods for spirits," the principal said, then slowly added, "Do you know about the materialization of the soul?"

Li Ge: "?"

He slowly carved out another question mark.

“Oh right, you’re from the Noble Phantasm Department, but both the Traditional Department and the Mystic Department have research on the materialization of souls. If it’s not death, but merely a simple spiritual life, we have many ways to give it a physical form,” the headmaster continued.

“The materialization of the soul, artificial body technology, or even the technology of having a personal grandfather…” the vice principal said slowly.

For a moment, Li Ge was stunned.

After all that, it turns out that what he thought was a catastrophe actually had more than one solution from the school's perspective.

Knowing that he could solve Lola's problem, Li Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, Li Ge, the biggest problem right now is actually your hometown."

"Why is your hometown in a state similar to that after being corrupted by the magic potion?"

"Why did the girl you brought here turn into a spirit?"

"Why are you called a 'containment object' even though you're in your own hometown? What is the true nature of a containment object?"

The vice principal bombarded Li Ge with questions, leaving her completely bewildered.

"As for the answer to the question, we will go to your hometown and investigate everything thoroughly." After saying this, the vice principal stood up abruptly, exuding an aura of domineering power.

Li Ge even gasped.

The vice principal immediately pulled out his wristwatch, speaking as if a king were issuing a command: "All executive department members still on duty, assemble!"

In that instant, Li Ge realized the advantage of having someone backing him up.

As soon as I arrived to explain the situation, the vice principal immediately summoned all the executive department staff who were still on duty.

It even has a feel to it like a gangster who gets bullied outside, goes back to his gang, shouts, and gets a bunch of brothers to back him up.

Before long, a dozen or so senior students dressed in smart military uniforms and trench coats were standing outside the vice principal's office.

Their unwavering gazes, domineering expressions, and sharp attire all highlighted that they were elites within the academy. Their fighting spirit and patience were astonishing, and their various secret treasures could bring endless surprises to their enemies.

This is actually because these senior students have been investigating the potion recently, which has made them a bit irritable. In addition, since the source of the potion was the Cult of Order, they have always felt that they have no way to use their strength. Now that they hear that they seem to have found another source of the potion, they are all extremely excited.

"go!"

The vice principal, leading a large group of people, dragged Li Ge towards the teleportation portal.

Li Ge: "..."

He felt that the current scene was like "The Academy Chronicles: 30 Years of Gangster Life".

Chapter 61 Academy City (Please continue reading, thank you so much!)

"The portal is ready. We have retrieved the coordinates of Li Ge's hometown," someone said.

"The portal is about to open."

"I'll go in first," said a senior with dark circles under his eyes, and immediately stepped into the teleportation portal.

However, the next moment, he walked straight through the portal, as if passing through a virtual image.

He seemed to defy fate and stepped in again, but still couldn't get in.

Subsequently, not only him, but many others tried to travel to Li Ge's world through the portal, but were unable to do so.

Even the vice principal was forcibly ejected a few seconds after entering the portal.
