Chapter 859 Academy III
The moonlight was bright, the candlelight faintly yellow.
Using the Door as a boundary, the dust floated around.
Standing outside the door, Ariel's gray eyes lit up at this moment.
She knew she had found what she had been searching for.
And Reine, Donna, Joli Li, and Judith all let out a sigh of relief—they instinctively felt they should return when Ariel suggested going back.
Of course, there were dissenters.
For example: Donna.
This girl didn't think it was a good idea to return just after the teacher let them off the hook.
Because if expelled, their situation wouldn't be much better than Judith's.
But, the moment Donna spoke, she felt a sense of loss.
As if she was about to miss something very important.
Not just Donna, Reine, Joli Li, and Judith were also having similar feelings.
The anomaly among them surprised the four girls.
They exchanged glances.
Finally, their eyes all turned to Ariel.
Unlike the others, Ariel had decided she had to go back!
Ariel was a stubborn person; once she chose change, she wouldn't waver!
This moment proved Ariel's correctness—
"Jennifer, teacher?"
Judith asked tentatively.
Although the voice sounded familiar, confronted with the white-caped, hooded History Teacher, Judith still felt uncertain.
"It's me."
Jennifer did not hide her identity.
Nor could she hide her identity.
Her appearance here was to deliberately expose herself, attracting the five girls to join—even though she still didn't understand what use these five girls had.
Even if there's a talent.
It's not much.
If it was an obvious talent, it would have been absorbed by certain organizations or forces long ago, and wouldn't likely appear in St. Joan of Arc Girls' College.
Moreover, the age was a bit old.
The Mystic Side does not disdain age.
On the contrary, the Mystic Side respects the experience brought by years; the older one is, the more it represents power.
But this is based on the Mystic Side Person identified with Awakening from an early age.
For those who come into it halfway?
The opposite is true.
The older one is, the more mediocre one tends to be.
Neither learning Mystic Side knowledge nor mastering secret technique can be achieved without focus.
And the older one is, the harder it is to focus.
Often, a scenario arises where ten minutes of effort requires two hours of relaxation.
Therefore, Jennifer wasn't optimistic about the five.
However, she wasn't the Boss.
She was merely following orders.
"Jennifer, teacher, what did you mean by 'Shapeless' just now?"
Judith asked, her face full of curiosity.
Jennifer then raised her hand.
Including Ariel, the five students immediately gathered around, but the next moment—
Click!
In a barely noticeable sound, a sharp sword blade sprang from Jennifer's Bracer.
The sudden glint of cold steel scared the five girls, who quickly retreated, but soon, they excitedly clustered back together.
Looking at the excited, curious five girls staring at her Sleeve Sword, Jennifer pretended to be profound as she chanted.
"All things are illusion, all actions are permitted!
We dwell in darkness, but we pursue The Light—
We are 'Shapeless'!"
Reciting these words, Jennifer blushed.
She had no idea where her Boss found such embarrassing lines, yet she had to read them aloud.
Thankfully, she wore a hood, or her flush would have given her away.
Jennifer felt incredibly awkward.
But Ariel and the five were completely captivated by these words.
All things illusion, all actions permitted!
They repeated, chanting softly.
Their age destined them to be attracted to such words.
Especially under the premise of the Mystic Side, this attraction was fatal.
Then—
"Jennifer, teacher, does it mean we have joined the 'Shapeless'?"
Asked by Ariel, the five looked at Jennifer together.
Their warm-eyed enthusiasm even surprised Jennifer.
'Is the charm of these words so substantial?'
Jennifer thought, responding unhurriedly—
"Of course!
You have passed the test!
You are now apprentices of 'Shapeless'."
"Passed the test?
Ignoring your prohibition, returning here?"
Donna frowned.
"No!
It's not about ignoring my prohibition!
But having the courage to discern reality!"
Jennifer shook her head, emphasizing.
Of course, these words were taught by that damn Boss.
Just now, unlike before, Jennifer started to take her damn Boss's words seriously.
No!
More precisely, she began to appreciate the boss's 'Unpredictable Foresight'!
Until now, every word granted by the boss was able to perfectly address the situation, almost as if the boss had already foreseen it.
'Is this the Spirit Medium bloodline?
Truly terrifying!'
Jennifer murmured inwardly, feeling even deeper apprehension towards her Boss.
Moreover, this lady silently vowed in her heart never to publicly disparage her Boss again—although they haven't met, the Boss's image in this lady's mind was anything but Open and Aboveboard, with words like petty, insidious, and ruthless frequently appearing in her evaluations.
Jian's Intuition allowed her to clearly perceive her friend's thoughts.
Unconsciously, Jian stepped forward.
She said nothing.
Just walked ahead.
Because the task given to them by this lady was not limited to these, there was follow-up.
As Jian moved, Jennifer immediately followed.
Ariel and the five female students naturally followed suit.
During, Judith couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked again—
"Jennifer, teacher, if we hadn't returned, would there have been a second chance?"
"No!
Every choice requires bearing the corresponding consequences.
Missed, and it's gone."
Jennifer replied.
Judith immediately glanced nervously at the four beside her, then looked at Ariel with more gratitude.
She knew clearly, if it wasn't for Ariel's proposal, she would have already missed the opportunity that changed her life.
The other three shared the same feeling.
They felt grateful to Ariel.
While Ariel faced their gratitude, her reaction was moderate.
She just wanted to ask what would happen if she withdrew?
Luckily, reason suppressed such rashness.
Ultimately, Ariel asked nothing, obediently trailing behind Jennifer, heading towards the school's hall.
Meanwhile—
Jimte and Kalal appeared outside the walls of St. Joan of Arc Girls' College.
Indeed!
The place they chose to temporarily hide was St. Joan of Arc Girls' College.
With the title 'Saint'.
And all being female.
Unless the entire Inner Bay falls into chaos, this place remains safest.
However, as the two approached, though not really into the school yet, they paused.
