I saw that the area around the thousand-year-old tower, which was originally vast and deserted, was now crowded with people. They kept waving their arms and shouting, and moved their feet mechanically as they rushed into the tower frantically.

"Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate!"

"Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate!"

"Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate!"

Accompanied by the extremely coordinated shouting, whether it was an illusion or a hint from his mind, Lin Qiusheng felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly. He quickly looked at Hina and said anxiously:

"Hina, let's go, we can't stay here any longer!"

"If this continues, even if we're not killed at Megiddo, we'll be swallowed up by the crowd!"

"I get it, sensei!"

Kurosaki Hina took out the fantasy drive book, turned her wrist, and the book unfolded. She raised her hand and pressed it.

"LAMP DO ALANGINA" [Alakina Magic Lamp]

A magic carpet emitting golden light appeared under everyone's feet, before Lin Qiusheng could react.

Kuzaki Hina swung the unsheathed Thunder Sword Huang Lei to smash the window next to her left hand, and directly controlled the magic carpet to fly out of the Millennium Tower.

"Sensei, come on, where are we going?"

"...How about you come back with me to Gehenna College for treatment, or I'll send the Discipline Committee for support later?"

"..." Lin Qiusheng looked at Hayase Yuuka, who had an extremely gloomy face beside him, and shook his head after thinking for a moment. Thinking of the ruins in front of the game development department, he raised his hand and pointed to the southeast.

"I can't bear the thought of you. I'm sorry, but I can't bear the thought of you. I'm sorry, but I can't bear the thought of you."

"I know a deserted place where we can take a short break."

Immediately afterwards, under the guidance of Lin Qiusheng, the bright yellow magic carpet that Sorasaki Hina and others were riding on turned into a residual shadow and disappeared under the blue sky.

Ten minutes later, Kuzaki Hina controlled Arakina's magic carpet and arrived at the ruins that the Federal Student Union had expressly forbidden. Seeing that they were about to reach the place where Alice was found, Lin Qiusheng hurriedly gave orders:

"Turn right here and go directly into the factory. The passage there will allow us to take a quiet break."

Kurosaki Hina nodded, and Tendo Alice seemed to sense something and kept turning her head to look around.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the smoke rising from the chimneys of unknown factories was just like the extremely depressed and gloomy hearts of the people.

"Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta."

Accompanied by the sound of sparse footsteps, Lin Qiusheng, Kurosaki Hina and others walked to the middle of the passage and stopped.

Hoshino Takanashi and Utahara Shiraishi helped the unconscious Izuna Hisata to sit down, while Yuuka Hayase lowered her head, threw down a few words, and quickly walked to the end of the passage.

"I'll go over there..."

"Eh!? Wait, Yuuka...ah! Utahara, Hoshino, you guys use these supplies first."

Lin Qiusheng looked at Hayase Yuuka who was walking away quickly with his head down in panic, and then looked at Tendo Alice and others who were slumped on the ground.

He quickly poured most of the supplies stored in the Shitei Box onto the ground and quickly chased after Hayase Yuuka.

Now Yuuka is confused because of the battle between Megiddo and the swordsman.

Since I am her sensei, I have the obligation to save her from this predicament.

"Wait, Yuuka, don't walk so fast! Watch your step!"

As Hayashi Qiusheng and Hayase Yuuka disappeared around the corner of the passage one after another, Tendo Alice, who was snooping around like a kitten, walked towards the passage on the left as if she had discovered something.

"Hey! Alice, where are you going?"

"Ah, Minister Utahara, Alice sensed someone was calling her, so Alice will now start exploring the new map alone!"

Shiraishi Utahara has begun to get used to Tendo Alice's inexplicable and strange words.

She looked at Hoshino Takanashi who was already fast asleep lying on the ground and Izuna Hisada who was still unconscious, and sighed helplessly.

"Okay, don't run too far Alice!"

"Okay, Minister Utahara, Alice is off!!!"

Watching Alice Tendo begin to explore the abandoned factory, Shiraishi Utahara took out his cell phone and dialed a few times, only to see a small red dot suddenly appear in the center of the originally black screen.

When adding a handle to the sword of light in Alice Tendo's hand, Shiraishi Utahara asked Nekōzuka Hibiki to add a positioning device.

This is also the reason why Shiraishi Utahara allowed Tendo Alice to go to the factory alone to take risks.

……

"Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!"

The sound of intertwined footsteps echoed in the long corridor. Lin Qiusheng took advantage of this time to think about what he would talk to Hayase Yuuka about in a while.

Is there really a way to solve it myself?

Before traveling through time, I was just an ordinary college student who had not yet experienced the hardships of society.

In the Sword of Truth, although he has grown in all aspects, his inner mind is still immature.

Come to think of it, when I first arrived at the Sword of Truth, I seemed to be confused as well, as if I had been abandoned by the whole world and wanted to escape from there.

But in the end, under the guidance of my master, I gradually accepted the reality.

Before she could come to a conclusion, Hayase Yuuka slowed down her pace, swayed her body a few times and stopped.

In the dim light, Lin Qiusheng could see Hayase Yuuka sitting on the ground after stopping.

She hugged her knees with her hands, buried her face between her legs, and trembled all over, with faint sobs coming from her.

"..."

Lin Qiusheng walked over cautiously and sat down beside her.

What should I say in this situation? If I were in your shoes, what would I want to hear others say to me?

The reason why Yuxiang is in this situation now is entirely because of her own indulgence.

If I had directly recovered the water from the Water Sword at that time, perhaps she would be living a free and easy life like an ordinary student now.

After the holiday break, Noah, Xiaoxue, and the other students from Millennium Institute of Technology were strolling around the mall together, chatting and laughing, enjoying the daily grind of an incredibly wonderful life, instead of getting caught up in a life-and-death battle between the swordsman and Megiddo...

No, you can’t, you can’t think like that!

If Yuuka had not chosen to pick up the Water Sword and fight with her own will, Abydos Academy might have ceased to exist long ago.

Although his memories with Hoshino and the others were very brief, he would definitely fall into endless self-blame for losing the girls on the countermeasures committee.

Moreover, during Hayase Yuuka's life as a monitor, she also provided herself with a lot of help.

Managing daily spending, renovating the Kivotos signal tower, and the motorcycle I received as a gift from Millennium Technology Academy...

So many, so many, before I knew it, my life was already filled with memories of Yuuka.

But he seemed to have never thanked her. Instead, he pretended to be a child and just kept asking for things.

This won't work. The words you want to convey must be conveyed to the other person, rather than being hidden deep in your heart in the silent sands of time.

The heart inside his chest was beating rapidly. Lin Qiusheng took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth.

"Yuuka."

"sensei."

Hayase Yuuka and I spoke at the same time.

In order to listen to Hayase Yuka's speech, Lin Qiusheng closed his mouth and waited quietly.

But Hayase Yuuka also had the same reaction, always feeling as if she had missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

No, that shouldn't be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At times like this, you should take the initiative to speak up.

"Yuuka, I'm sorry. It must be very painful for you to become a swordsman."

Hayase Yuuka didn't respond at all, and Lin Qiusheng continued talking without blinking.

"You could have been enjoying your youth like any other girl, but now you're covered in wounds from the battle between the swordsman and Megiddo."

Hayase Yuuka still said nothing.

"Now that I think about it, I don't seem to understand you."

Although he had thought a lot on the way, Lin Qiusheng couldn't find any other words to say.

"You are right by my side now, and you have helped me so much, but I take it for granted and turn a blind eye to it."

"Whether it's your past, your present, or your present, I haven't tried to understand you. I've only blindly enjoyed your help."

"I haven't really thanked you yet. Thank you, Yuuka."

Hayase Yuuka kept her mouth shut and said nothing.

Lin Qiusheng had no idea what she was thinking, and was basically unsure whether she was listening to him carefully.

Is it still not working? I can't seem to preach the truth like my master did back then to help people wake up from their confusion.

Lin Qiusheng looked at the girl in front of him, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a firm tone:

"It's okay, Yuuka, leave it to me from now on."

"I will take care of all of this, and then you can return to your normal, peaceful daily lives and move forward beautifully."

As he spoke, Lin Qiusheng raised his hand and stretched out his hand towards the water sword that Hayase Yuka placed beside her, wanting to take it back.

Come to think of it, I should be able to use the skills that the master displayed at the end.

But, unfortunately, I might miss the appointment with the girl in my dream.

Millennium Technology Academy: Chapter 80: The Girl's Past

"……don't want."

When Lin Qiusheng was about to touch the water sword flowing beside Hayase Yuuka, the originally silent girl raised her left hand and held his arm.

Under the dim light, Lin Qiusheng clearly saw the bean-sized tears in the corners of Hayase Yuka's eyes, falling uncontrollably as if the thread had fallen off.

The blue eyes, as calm as the deep sea, were now filled with various complex emotions.

Even so, she never let go. With her left hand, she held Lin Qiusheng's arm that was reaching for the holy sword, and with her right hand, she kept wiping the tears rolling down her eyes with her palm.

Lin Qiusheng was just about to hand her the handkerchief in his shirt pocket when he remembered that he had already lent it to her when they were in the Millennium Tower.

The raised left hand had to hang down at the side of the body in disappointment.

"Yuuka..."

Lin Qiusheng looked at the girl beside him and struggled to break free from her gently grasping hand.

He stared at the sad girl crying in front of him, and looked at the water sword placed on the ground beside her. After thinking for a few moments, he held Hayase Yuka's cold hands.

If I choose to pick up Yuka's holy sword and leave here now, I will definitely lose many important things.

Maybe I will become like the unknown Wang Jian, losing the reason to fight and thus pursuing a more powerful force.

Feeling the hot temperature coming from the palm of her hand that was originally empty and seemed to have nothing in it, Hayase Yuuka's originally unbalanced emotions were slightly comforted.

"...sen, sensei, I don't hate fighting with you."

Although the tears in Hayase Yuuka's eyes had stopped, she was still sobbing.

"But, Yuuka, if you keep going like this, you'll get hurt again."

Lin Qiusheng was a little flustered for a moment and wanted to refute, but all he could say were some common truths.

This couldn't convince myself, nor could it convince the girl in front of me.

Hayase Yuuka wiped the tears and mucus from her face with the handkerchief that Lin Qiusheng had lent her.

She looked at the handkerchief in her hand that was so wet that it seemed like water could be wrung out of it, and turned her head slightly, leaving Lin Qiusheng with a side profile, her eyes wandering around in embarrassment.

After stuffing the handkerchief into her shirt pocket, Hayase Yuuka used her short hair draped over her shoulders to repeatedly circle the index finger of her right hand.

"...sensei, just now...I was just suddenly frightened by Noah and the others' behavior, that's all. I'm fine now."

Lin Qiusheng looked at Hayase Yuuka who was slowly returning to normal, and was at a loss for a moment. Seeing this, Hayase Yuuka continued:

"Sensei, didn't you once say that swordsmen fight with their own will?"

"Well, both I and the swordsman of the Sword of Truth do it this way." Lin Qiusheng nodded slowly.

"Well, if that's the case, then there's no problem."
