A Villain's Journey Begins in the Type-Moon World

"However, I always worry that those acquired educations will ultimately not be able to change the evil that is deeply ingrained in their blood. One day they will still steal this country and become new parasites."

"Wasn't the founding emperor of Ursus also a commoner who rose from humble beginnings before overthrowing the Eagle Empire? Yet how many of his descendants still remember their humble origins?"

Wang Chong shook his head and laughed, "I never believe in bloodlines, nor can I guarantee that even the most ideal Reunion Warrior will not have descendants who want to restore privileges."

"However, each generation has its own affairs. If one day I unify Ursus, it will be enough for me to create a hundred years of peace for Ursus."

"As for the rest, let them handle it themselves. Anyway, as long as the idea of ​​integration can continue to be passed down and progress with the times, there's no need to worry about future generations. At worst, it'll just be another round of destruction and reconstruction. What do you think?"

"Hehe, I was being a bit too attached to appearances. Yes, a hundred years of peace is already a feat. Future generations will handle their own affairs." Hrag nodded with a smile.

"Hehe, I was being a bit too attached to appearances. Yes, a hundred years of peace is already a feat. Future generations will handle their own affairs." Hrag nodded with a smile.

"Before we knew it, the conversation had drifted a bit off-topic, and it was already getting light. But, sir, now that all your concerns have been dispelled, isn't it time to go all out and take a gamble?"

Wang Chong looked at the scenery outside the window, which was gradually brightening, then turned to look at Helag and asked with a smile.

“Of course, this old man will risk his life to accompany you to the end this time.” Herag laughed and nodded in agreement.

And so, the Black Mist Situation Map unfolded before the two once more, and Wang Chong began to explain to Helag in detail how to achieve the three objectives.

As soon as it was light, Hrag began to talk with the people from the Azazel Clinic. Not long after, many agile infected people emerged from the underground passage, avoiding the eyes and ears of the garrison, and moved around various places in the outer city.

……

Peterheim School in the afternoon

"Seriously! You guys have been gone for a whole day! You almost scared me to death!"

The blonde girl looked at the group returning to the club with red eyes, and was so weak that she threw herself into Mari's arms.

"Do you know how badly I worked last night, keeping watch all night, only to be spotted by the patrolling gatekeeper? He almost mistook me for a thief and chased me away. Waaah..."

"I'm sorry, Rada, for making you worry."

Seeing that Rada (Gum) was almost crying, Mari looked very apologetic and apologized.

"You should all go back to your dorms and let them know you're safe. When you tell the teachers, just say you were supposed to fight with someone, but you ran into the garrison parading outside the city last night and hid in a restaurant because you didn't dare to go out."

Winter looked at her underlings and earnestly instructed them, "You should all know what to say and what not to say. I don't need to remind you repeatedly, do I?"

“Yes, boss!” the group of underlings replied earnestly.

"Go ahead, don't disappoint me." After saying that, the underlings left the club activity room one by one with nervous expressions.

"W-what's wrong? What happened to you all yesterday? Why are you all so nervous?"

Gumi keenly sensed an uneasy atmosphere and quickly asked.

Winter looked at Truth, seemingly asking if she wanted to tell him what happened last night, but Truth shook her head by moving her eyes left and right, indicating that it was not the right time yet.

"There's nothing to worry about. Everyone was just a little frightened. After all, we had just finished fighting those three soldiers not long ago, and then the whole city went into martial law and was searched everywhere. We had to hide for quite a while."

So Winter immediately shook her head and said.

"Yes, you planned to deal with those soldiers yesterday, but by evening you heard that they were parading around everywhere. I really thought you had all been captured."

Gumi let out a breath and said, "Especially when I waited for you all night and didn't see you, I really thought I would never see you again in this life. I was scared and cried for a long time while hiding under the covers. I didn't sleep well all night."

"Alright, alright, you're back now, aren't you? Go back and get some rest. I'll take notes for the afternoon classes," Zhenli said, patting Gummy's head to comfort her.

"Um...you two must never do anything so dangerous again. You're the only two friends I have left."

After Gummy finished speaking, he yawned widely. Clearly, after learning that his companion had returned safely, he relaxed and became very sleepy.

So the three of them returned to the dormitory. After letting Gumi fall asleep, the two of them found a quiet place to talk while they still had some time before class.

"Phew, I never thought I'd actually have a chance to come back."

Looking at the familiar campus, even though she had only been away for a day, Lin Dong had a strange feeling that everything had changed. Perhaps it was because she had experienced and received so much information in that day that she had this illusion.

Chapter 264: Recruiting, and Recruiting Again

“But we’re not coming back as if nothing happened last night, you should know that, Sonia.”

Truth sighed and said:

"We were the catalyst for last night's battle, and soon everyone in the outer city will know what happened in the inner city last night."

Winter remained silent; she hadn't expected that her momentary anger would cause such serious consequences.

Just as dawn was breaking, they were taken to Wang Chong and told everything that had happened the night before. They never imagined that their righteous act would become an excuse for murder and arson.

Seeing their deep distress, Wang Chong naturally offered them words of comfort. Afterwards, whether to atone for their past actions or to resolve the impending crisis facing the entire city, the two ultimately decided to join Wang Chong's Reunion Movement.

Wang Chong naturally welcomed their arrival and, using this as a pretext, assigned them an important task. The two women then began to recall everything that had happened that morning…

“Listen, Sonia, Anna. Judging from what happened last night, the situation in Chernobyl is becoming increasingly dire. Now the garrison has begun to purge government officials under such flimsy pretexts. So, once he has complete control of the entire city, where will the sword be wielded next?”

Wang Chong slowly said:

"It is almost foreseeable that, in order to extract enough wealth, they will sooner or later turn their swords against ordinary people."

"Therefore, while they are still divided and fighting among themselves, we need to unite the people of Chern as soon as possible."

“I know this will take time and be very difficult. So we can’t just rely on underground shopping malls or mobile integration. We need more people to help us and continuously pass on the idea of ​​integration.”

Wang Chong slowly said, "First of all, there are the students of Peterheim High School. Currently, all the students in Chernobyl are confined to Peterheim High School and are under semi-closed management."

"You need to bring most of the students together under this semi-closed management system. Start with your small groups and let more young people know what's happening in their city."

"Of course, besides the two of you, I also have a special student I rescued in the inner city last night. She will go to support you and take the lead in integrating the students of the former Fourth Middle School."

Afterwards, Wang Chong told the two about Zao Lu, including her background, what happened last night, and that she had been persuaded to join the integration.

Faced with their tragically deceased "classmate," the two were at a loss for how to confront each other. Wang Chong, sensing their thoughts, reassured them not to worry, assuring them that he would handle everything, including providing emotional support.

What the two need to focus on is how to cooperate with each other and temporarily unite the ordinary and aristocratic students. They also need to help the two of them, especially Mari, understand the meaning behind Zaoru's current status.

"This predicament is not a challenge that you ordinary students or aristocratic students can overcome alone. You need to work together to have any chance of fighting it."

"I will guide you from behind, but how to actually do it is the test you will have to complete. As for us, we also need to keep a firm grip on the industrial zone and the people on the ground," Wang Chong said slowly.

……

Back to the present, recalling Wang Chong's words, Lin Dong felt somewhat irritated and said:

"Leaving aside when Natalia will be able to return to school, just thinking about how to win over those students is already giving me a lot of headaches."

"You said they'd suddenly start seriously studying the promotional brochures, just like you did. I've spent all night on that stuff and still haven't finished reading it... Although, a lot of the things in it don't really make sense..."

But Truth smiled and shook her head, saying, "Don't you know best how to recruit and attract people, Sonia?"

Winter was taken aback and quickly asked, "What do you mean?"

"As Mr. Wang Chong said, time is of the essence. What we need to do is make our students understand the crisis facing Chernobyl, their own crisis, and the crisis facing their parents. These are issues that they need to consider in a very real way."

Truth slowly said:

"Therefore, we don't need to follow the integration standards, like ideological awakening. All we need to do are two simple things: First, bring people into our team. Second, make them understand the current crisis and get them to spontaneously follow our lead."

"As for ideas and awakening, that's something that can come later. So, do you understand, Sonia? Our only task right now is to recruit as many people as possible."

"As for how to quickly recruit people, hehe, Sonia, do you remember how our little group was formed?"

"You mean, you want me to recruit followers in the academy by using force, just like before?" Winter looked at him with suspicion and couldn't help but ask, "Will it really work? And not everyone likes fighting, right?"

"Not bad, Sonia. When you can think of this, it proves that you have learned how to think. That reckless girl who only knew how to fight has finally figured things out."

Truth joked. "You Lin, what about me, Mei? You're empty, you Lin are here, are you here...?"

"Stop making fun of me, I'm serious," Winter said.

“I know this is incredible, but listen to me, Sonia. Some things don’t need to be overthought. Just start doing it. Recruit the people you can subdue with force as quickly as possible.”

Truth slowly said:

"As for those students who cannot be subdued by force for the time being, believe me, once your team expands to a certain size, many of them will join on their own initiative."

After listening to Truth's analysis, Winter nodded and rubbed his hands together, saying, "Alright, since you say there's no problem, then I'll just get started. I might not be good at other things, but fighting is my specialty."

Truth nodded, then looked at the wall at the edge of the campus, his gaze piercing through the wall to look further into the distance:

"The rest is just waiting for our other teammate to make a move. Once she gets going, we can continue to follow up."

……

Underground street

"Hey—drink up!!"

In an open area on the underground level, a girl's angry shout rang out. There stood Zao Lu, wielding a standard training greatsword, fighting against the "instructor" who was also wielding a greatsword.

"Clang—clang—!"

The sounds of machinery colliding echoed continuously. Zao Lu tried her best to win, but was repeatedly overwhelmed by her opponent's attacks. Despite feeling that she was no less powerful than her opponent, she always fell short when wielding her greatsword.

As a result, not only was Zao Lu beaten back step by step, but she also heard the other party's cold criticism:

"Your forehand is weak, your backhand is powerless, your footwork is sloppy, and your reactions are slow! Not a single movement is decent! With this level of skill, you think you can defeat the Ursus army? Keep dreaming!"

"Clang—!"

With a crucial strike, the red-haired woman forcefully deflected the longsword from Zao Lu's hand. This time, Zao Lu felt a numbness in her arm and couldn't even hold the sword, which she flung away.

"Waaah!"

Then, with the tip of her opponent's sword pointed at her neck, Zao Lu froze, no longer daring to move. This meant that Zao Lu had lost the duel once again in this round.

However, losing to the opponent is not so shameful, after all, Surtr is a veteran of the special forces and his strength is at a mid-level.

Even without using fire, his combat experience gained from countless battles with those soldiers was enough to crush Zao Lu, this greenhorn.

"Alright, you two, take a break." At this moment, Wang Chong walked up to the two of them while clapping his hands. It was clear that this contest was arranged by Wang Chong.

Chapter 265: 42's Emotional Rampage

"I'm sorry, teacher, I did a terrible job."

Looking at her longsword that had been knocked to the ground, and recalling Surtr's previous evaluation of her, Zao Lu lowered her head and said.

"Don't take it too hard. Surtr's harshness towards you is actually a way of telling you that there's still a lot you need to learn."

Wang Chong said earnestly:

“Your senior is a master who was able to fight her way out of countless Ursus troops. She was one of those who rescued criminals in the inner city, just as you heard about her.”

"In her eyes, if you're only at this level, you won't be able to keep up with their team. Not only will you get surrounded and unable to escape, but you might also drag the whole team down."

"Perhaps Surtr's words are sometimes hurtful, but it's better to have words pierce your heart than to have a knife stick into it."

After listening, Zao Lu nodded and said to Surtr, "Thank you for your guidance."

Surtr simply ate the snacks Wang Chong had just given her, replenishing her energy, and nodded slightly after hearing Zao Lu's words.

"Don't mind her. Don't let Surtr's seemingly unapproachable demeanor fool you; she actually notices and remembers everyone's feelings towards her. You should ask her for advice more often in the future."

Wang Chong chuckled and said:

"Alright, it's almost time for the afternoon's Integration Movement presentation. Although Lyudmila is hosting, it's enough for her to guide you into the Integration Movement's philosophy and help you understand how our Integration Movement's propaganda work is done."

"The rest depends on your own understanding and your own efforts. Unfortunately, Zao Lu, you only have five days to learn, which is undoubtedly a lot of pressure for you."

Wang Chong spoke slowly.

"It's alright, teacher, I will definitely master all the necessary knowledge. I won't forget this daily training even after I enter the academy." Zao Lu clenched her fist.

Today, led by Wang Chong, she secretly returned to the inner city and successfully approached her home. When she saw her home up close and confirmed that it had indeed been destroyed, only the desire to avenge her parents remained in Zao Lu's heart.

In particular, she overheard the passing soldiers discussing the heinous events of the previous night: they found propaganda pamphlets from the Reunion Movement, used them to convict and imprison the families that had been wiped out, and killed those who dared to resist on the spot.

His own parents were clearly seen as troublemakers by these stationed troops, and as a result...

Zao Lu didn't think any further. She had only one thought at the time: no matter the cost, she would make these scoundrels pay for it!

……

"You rarely exploit other people's hatred. Even with Alex, you guided and comforted his emotions. Why are you treating this child differently?"

After handing Early Dew over to Lyudmila to take away, Surtr, who had been following behind Wang Chong and was usually taciturn, finally spoke up and asked a question.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly asking me this question?"

Wang Chong turned around curiously and asked the other person.

“It’s nothing… just like you said before, I just don’t like to talk about it, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care… she seemed quite polite, so I’m just asking on her behalf,” Surtr said slowly.

"The reason is actually quite simple, Surtr. It's because, as a noblewoman since childhood, her willpower is far from sufficient to change her stance or rebel. She needs to rely on and utilize her anger to keep going."
