"Sensei, what can I do for you?"

"Could you, working with the members of the Millennium Institute of Technology's Ministry of Truth, find a place with a large amount of water in the Abydos area?"

Alona blinked in confusion and asked curiously:

"Huh? Of course no problem. Excuse me, what happened to sensei?"

Lin Qiusheng sighed deeply and recounted as briefly as possible what had happened in the Abydos area so far.

"Such a thing actually happened. We must rescue those who were captured immediately!"

"Calm down, Alona, ​​you're needed now."

In Alona's puzzled eyes, Lin Qiusheng continued:

"The birth of the Salamander King monster requires a humid environment with a large amount of water. It is very likely that the Salamander King monster will station its nest there."

"That way, we can find the Abydos residents and Celery who were captured by them as food."

Alona opened her mouth in shock, and the soft blue light above her head turned into a big exclamation mark.

"Original, that's what it is!"

"In that case, leave it to me, the Super AI Alona! I'm a high-performance AI!"

Alona pulled her face together and smiled confidently. She patted her chest which had just begun to develop and arose a little. With a wave of her right hand, a blue screen appeared in front of her. Her hands were rapidly clicking something in the air.

"Sensei, our academy's Ministry of Truth should also come and help. That way, we can rescue the captured people as soon as possible!"

"Well, please, I'll leave it to you guys."

After a few words of conversation, Lin Qiusheng and Hayase Yuka followed the crowd and walked quickly towards Abydos Academy.

At the corner of the street to the left of Abydos Academy, four heads emerged from the darkness, taking in everything that had just happened.

"Uh, that! Master Aru!!!"

"Should we take advantage of their weakness to defeat them and complete our commission?!"

Haruka Igusa hugged the gun in her hands with both hands, her whole body trembling as she stared at the members of the Abydos Academy Countermeasures Committee who were gradually moving away, with an expression of indecision and uncertainty.

"..."

"Ah, Master Alu!"

Seeing that Lu Ba Mo Ailu beside her kept her hands folded in front of her chest, slightly narrowed her eyes, and looked thoughtful, Igusa Haruka took off the grenade hanging from her waist, hooked the safety ring with her right index finger, and smiled as if she was eager to try.

Next to her, Onikata Kayoko quickly snatched the grenade from her hand, checked the safety and said soothingly:

"Haruka, calm down for a moment. I didn't expect you to still have the desire to fight after witnessing a battle of that scale."

"As long as Master Alu gives the order, I will complete the mission even if I die!"

Kayoko Onikata looked around, the colorful bubbles floating around her, the giant dragon flying in the sky, and the bumpy battlefield in front of her. She sighed and held her forehead with some fatigue.

"But we won't go that far. Our mission is simply to defeat the Abydos Academy Countermeasures Committee."

"Ah... But now it seems that things are getting complicated."

"Fufufu~ Complicated? Doesn't it make it more interesting? Allu, how about we just charge into Abydos Academy and defeat them in one fell swoop?"

Asagi Mutsuki put his left hand behind his back, tapped his face lightly with his right index finger, showing a devilish smile, and suggested nudging Lu Ba Mo Ailu, who was stunned beside his left hand, with his body.

"Huh? Ah! Let me think about it!"

Lu Ba Mo Ailu, who had just recovered from the shock, quickly looked at her companions beside her, and responded hesitantly and pretending to be in deep thought.

What, what should we do? The scale of that battle is as terrifying as the head of the Discipline Committee of Gehenna College. It is completely beyond our ability to deal with!

Are you going to give up your employer's commission? Now is the perfect time to complete the mission while the Abydos Countermeasures Committee is short-staffed!

That way, after getting the commission, I can get rid of my life of eating only one bowl of ramen every day.

but……

Lu Bamo Alu pondered for a moment and then smiled softly, raising the corners of her mouth charmingly. The fur coat draped over her shoulders, which looked expensive, fluttered in the wind.

"Hmph, let's just let them go for now! As the top villain of Kivotos, taking advantage of others in distress is really not my style."

"Hello, my wife, let's go!"

After saying that, Lu Bamo Alu turned around and walked towards the street behind her. The high heels on her feet made irregular "tapping" sounds on the ground.

"So... so handsome! As expected, Master Alu is the most handsome!"

"Ah! Lord Alu, wait for me!" Igusa Haruka's eyes sparkled as she chased after Lu Bamo Alu's dashing figure.

"Hehe~ That seems like something Lu would choose."

Asagi Mutsuki jokingly picked up the nearly one-meter-long black package at her feet and walked forward happily. Behind her, Onikata Kayoko smiled helplessly and said in silence:

"I knew this would be the result. Sigh... I guess I'll have to eat ramen again today."

Location: In a dimly lit room.

"Swish!"

On the bookshelf in the corner of the room, a withered hand tightly grasped the pen and wrote quickly on the ancient pages.

Tianzai looked around boredly, turned to look at Zios who was grinning beside him, and glanced at Wang Jian who was standing by the window. He couldn't bear it any longer and started a conversation with Raziel who was sitting on the chair in front of him.

"Raziel-chan, it seems that the Megiddo you created was defeated by other swordsmen."

"It doesn't matter, that's just a bait. As long as the Fantasy Drive Book is still being written, everything will be fine." A strange smile appeared on Raziel's face as he played with the blank Fantasy Drive Book in his hand that was completely stained black.

"That's right, don't forget our purpose."

Stolius glanced at Raziel, who was treating the Fantasy Drive book like a walnut plate, and smiled slightly. He then looked at the Scourge beside him and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

"Natural Disaster, should that be enough for some fun?"

"...Tsk." Tianzai snorted in dissatisfaction, turned around and disappeared in the room with a dark and crimson tone.

Wang Jian's eyes swept over the dark fantasy-driven book that exuded an ominous aura and was placed on the table in the middle of the room.

"Is the Swordsman of Sound the next after the Swordsman of Earth? The lost Fantasy Drive Book and the Holy Sword have begun to appear one after another. So, it's time for me to start planning my next step."

In an abandoned factory dozens of kilometers away from Abydos College, the faint cry of a baby echoed in the dark environment.

"Woooooa ...

"Clatter!"

Countless purple jelly-like substances of different sizes rushed from all directions and quickly gathered together to form a purple body. Its fingers trembled slightly, and the Salamander monster climbed up from the ground stiffly as if he had just obtained this body, and sneered as he recalled what had just happened.

"Hehehe~ It's useless. You can't defeat me with your strength."

Slowly turning his head, the Salamander monster looked at the transparent follicle the size of a three-story building immersed in the huge lake. Purple light continued to flow in it, and finally gathered into the body of the giant monster wrapped inside, which was curled up like a baby.

"In a little while, our king will be born. Swordsmen, the time of your death will soon be approaching!"

Next to her, in a transparent bubble one meter high, like a pile of glutinous rice balls on the shore, a girl with a pair of black animal ears on her head curled up and slowly woke up from her sleep.

……

"Hey, listen to me, Hoshino-chan."

The afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the activity room of the Abydos Countermeasures Committee. Hoshino Takanashi, who was still in her first year at the time, blinked her cold eyes and looked up at the plump girl with long green hair standing beside the desk.

"Is there something going on with the Liu Yiqi Yier⑧(四) Siba=group? Meng Senior."

"Ding-dang! Look at this!"

Hoshino Takanashi silently recited the information written in round font on the poster without any emotion, and asked doubtfully:

"Summer Festival, Desert Festival?"

"The oasis was as big as a lake back then. Here! Keep it as a souvenir."

Meng slowly unfolded the yellowed and oxidized event flyer in her hand with a smile on her face, walked excitedly to Hoshino Takanashi and stuffed it into her hands, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and fantasized about the beautiful world in the future.

"That would be cool, right? If a miracle happens, lots of tourists will flock here."

Before Zhi Zimeng could finish her words, Xiao Nian Xingye interrupted her directly, as if to make her face reality, and murmured in a gloomy tone:

"Miracles don't exist, Senior."

"Hey?"

Ignoring Zhizi Meng who was standing there in confusion, Hoshino Kotori looked down at the event flyer in his hand that was who knows how many years old, and then said:

"How could such a good thing possibly happen? Let's be realistic, not many people would come to the middle of a desert like this!"

"Stop talking in your sleep, okay? Senior..."

Gardenia Dream was also frightened by Kotori Hoshino's sudden excitement and rapid tone. Just as she was about to explain, she saw her extremely gloomy head lowered, and apologized weakly:

"B-but...I'm sorry."

A surge of anger inexplicably welled up in Zhizi Meng's heart for showing weakness so easily, and she clenched the yellowed event flyer in both hands.

As if to tear apart the illusory miracle, Hoshino Takanashi tore the paper in his hand into two pieces.

"You're always talking so lightly about miracles and such, but you're the president of the Student Union of Abydos Academy!"

"Can you be more aware of the responsibilities you shoulder?"

Until one day, this somewhat foolishly peaceful daily life was broken, and Gardenia Dream disappeared without any warning.

When Hoshino Kotori saw Gardenia Dream again, they were already deep in the desert of Abydos Academy. The ink-black shield stained with a little blood stood quietly in the wind and sand.

As for its owner, he disappeared in this miracle-filled Kivotos and was never heard from again.

At this point, Hoshino Takanashi is the only one left in Abydos Academy.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Hoshino, I'm coming in."

Lin Qiusheng raised his hand and opened the door in front of him, only to see the girl standing with her back to him by the movable wall on her right. She looked quietly at the activity poster that was torn in two and pasted on the wall with tape, as if she was missing something.

"Are you okay? Hoshino."

Abydos: Chapter 22: So, a Promise was Made

"I just heard from Nomiya that you left the infirmary after bandaging your wounds. To be honest, I'm a little worried about your current condition."

"..."

"Click."

Seeing that the girl in front of him had her back to him, Lin Qiusheng walked slowly into the room and closed the door behind him.

"Da, da, da, da."

Lin Qiusheng stopped when he was about five steps away from Hoshino Kotori, thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and spoke out all the words he had just organized on the way.

"Hoshino, you don't have to worry too much. The fantasy drive book held by the Salamander monster has not yet been completed, and the Salamander King has not yet been born. The captured residents and students of Abydos are still safe for the time being."

"As long as the Salamander monster is completely eliminated before then, Abydos Academy will return to the real world, and everything will return to normal life."

"Although I don't know what you've been through in the past, I have a promise with you that no matter what, I will save Serika from the Salamander monster and restore the Abydos region to the real world!"

Hearing Lin Qiusheng talking to himself, Xiao Niaoyou Xingye clenched his hands that were originally hanging on both sides of his body into fists, clenched his silver teeth in his mouth, slowly turned around, and asked in a cold voice with an expression that said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Hoshino? It seems that our relationship is not that close, right?"

"What do you know about us? Even if we return to our normal lives, nothing will change. Miracles and promises don't exist!"

Lin Qiusheng was stunned by Xiao Niaoyou's sudden excited and hurried tone, and called her name softly.

"Hoshino..."

"Da da da!"

Before Lin Qiusheng could finish his words, Kotori Yu Xingye's figure flashed and rushed to Lin Qiusheng like an arrow. He grabbed his collar and pulled him in front of him, staring at him fiercely with his strange-colored eyes.

"Let me be clear first. I hate adults like you the most! From the beginning, I never believed that you could help us in any way."

"Your goal is to retrieve that sword, right? Then, take it away immediately and get out of our academy!"

Xiao Niaoyou Xingye's roar echoed in the room until the group of people disappeared into the withered yellow sunset. Lin Qiusheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled with relief, and murmured with emotion:

"Xingye, you finally spoke out your inner thoughts."

"..." At the unexpected words of the person in front of him, Hoshino Kotori froze in his place, his brows raised, and he shouted angrily:
