Chapter 26: Conquest Successful

  Standing there foolishly, I watched as the two... uh, two young men slowly left my line of sight, one with a smile on his face and the other icy cold. What just happened is really hard for me to accept. Originally, I thought that as long as I found Xiaoyue Feng and stuck a note on his forehead saying "I want to duel you", it would be enough. Who would have thought that two of them would show up, one of whom was the real Xiaoyue Feng? But he had never provoked Xiao before, and maybe Xiao's target was actually that guy with the surname Ji or Mo... Ah, whatever, even if I'm at a disadvantage, I'll just take on both of them together.

  I stood there alone for half a day, thinking, and when I finally lifted my head, those two guys had already disappeared. Cough, my mom, they flashed away faster than an airplane, depressing.

  He sighed and followed for a few steps, after turning several times, he finally turned out of this place again. Hmm, originally wanted to find someone to ask where the music festival they mentioned was, but as soon as I came out, I met Mingyue who had been looking for me everywhere. As soon as she saw me, she rushed over like a madman and grabbed my hand: "Where did you run off to? You made me look for you for so long..."

  I raised an eyebrow and glanced at him: "What are you looking for me for? I'm completing my task, just take care of yourself."

  "Wow, what did you use to complete your task? Without my guidance, how would you conquer Xiaoyue Feng? Ah, I'll teach you. To deal with Xiaoyue Feng's cold character, you should use a move that combines being clingy and weak, while pretending to be cute and pitiful. People like him must have strong masculine instincts, so they will definitely have a protective desire for those who appear weak and pitiful. As long as you pretend to be that way, you'll definitely get his sympathy, and then he..."

  "Hey, do you know where the concert will be held?" I interrupted his tedious long-winded talk, waving my hand (author: intending to start a fight) while picking up the nearby Mingyue and asking.

  He thought for a moment and told me, "A concert, it must be held in the music hall, right? If the aristocratic academy holds a concert next month, it will definitely only be held in its own academy's music hall. Unless it's after graduation, basically, students are not allowed to hold concerts outside."

  "Okay, thank you. I'll leave first and when I come back later, just meet me at the entrance of the school." He directly solved the problem by leaving immediately. Of course... I didn't say I was going to smash the place, I just said... I can wait at the door for them to come out and then knock them down to the ground and step on their heads and ask them: "Do you admit defeat?! Do you admit defeat?! Hahaha..." (Author's note: completely in my own imagination)

  I asked several students before I finally found out the location of the concert, and Mingyue that idiot refused to leave, desperately following behind me to see what I would do.

  I didn't go to the concert, I just stood at the door and waited, because I wasn't very interested in music to begin with, let alone a national-level music series. Except for Beethoven's "Moonlight" and "Ave Maria", nothing else left me with any special feelings.

  After waiting outside for about half an hour, a chaotic noise suddenly came from inside, and then a group of people rushed out, screaming and running away...

  What's going on? I was taken aback and had originally planned to go in and take a look, but because there were too many people coming out, it was basically impossible to squeeze in. Mingyue casually grabbed hold of a boy and asked him something, then turned around and told me: "The big chandelier on the music hall stage fell down and apparently injured a lot of people. And maybe Xiaoyue Feng was also hurt."

  Huh... Is it really possible for something so strange to happen? For the large chandelier in the famous music hall of a noble academy to suddenly fall down on its own? Or is it that... someone has made their move before us?

  I naturally retreated to the side of the concert hall, flipped my hand up onto the windowsill and went in from the fastest place.

  Inside, there were still some people desperately squeezing out, and some older teachers had already fallen to the ground with twitching mouths... I raised my eyes to look at the stage, only to see a mess on top, a blood-soaked youth standing on the stage... The originally gentle smile didn't know why it became abnormally seductive, his blooming smile almost made the entire concert hall shine... Lightly opening his lips, emitting an overbearing and cruel beauty He smiled faintly: "Hmph... I'll make you pay the price, people hiding in the dark."

  Darkness deep down? I was taken aback, and suddenly my mind seemed to be stimulated by something, immediately lifting my head and shifting my gaze upwards towards the top of the stage.

  The equipment of the aristocratic academy is absolutely impossible to make mistakes, every time a concert is held, it should be checked, so if you want to take action, unless after checking. However, such an academy attaches absolute importance to safety, and checks are definitely not just once, so they can only take action when the concert starts!!!!

  "Moonless, save him!" I immediately gave orders to Moonless who was following behind me.

  He completely responded with a conditioned reflex: "Yes!" Only after responding did he become stunned... Uh, why did I respond to him?!?!

  With a light leap, I jumped off the window and landed on the stage with my toes barely touching the ground. I looked at that blood-soaked youth and burst into my first smile since coming to this academy (Author's note: completely because of secretly rejoicing in being able to solve the first trial): "Hey! ∧＿∧ Next month what...what was it, I'll help you deal with the people in the dark depths, can you guys surrender to me?"

  The blood-soaked youth was almost completely stunned by the smile of the boy (who was actually a girl) in front of him... For the first time, he saw such a smile... In such a situation, chaotic, painful, tragic, screaming... Amidst all this, his smile seemed as calm and peaceful as seeing one's own dog in the morning (Author: —＿—!! ! Umm... The description is a bit... off)... Without a single ripple.

  "I...". The blood-soaked youth's transparent lips parted slightly: "I can submit to you...... But, Feng, I don't know." (The 'Feng' he spoke of was Wei Mo)

  "Alright, alright, no problem, I'll handle that one myself!" I said, taking a few steps back and grabbing the huge curtain. With a burst of strength, I leaped quickly onto the upper part of the stage... Because the big chandelier was extinguished, and the other small lights seemed to be turned off, it was indeed pitch black above. I closed my eyes slightly... and sensed that there were four or five people's presences on the opposite side...

  Hehe, just four or five people... Alright then... Let's start the game...

  In the dark, I've been through countless battles, almost entirely relying on my instincts to find the enemy's position. If I had relied on my eyes, I would have been killed by the opponent in the time it took for my vision to adapt to the environment.

  There was once a fight at an underground casino... Well, of course, it was because that idiot Mito got taken away by the casino owner's daughter. At the time, Mito and his family were having dinner at our place, but he snuck out alone to buy beer and never came back. My mom even told me to bring him back before dinner started... It was really frustrating. If I had known he was taken away by the casino owner's daughter, I wouldn't have gone to find him even if it killed me.

  I ended up facing off against the entire casino's thugs alone, and barely managed to bring him back in one piece just in time for dinner. Thinking back on that real-life gunfight is still terrifying... Especially since the casino owner's daughter intentionally turned off the lights to prevent us from leaving, and those thugs even had night vision goggles and guns...

  Luckily, I was using my instincts to judge the positions of those people... I'm telling you, it's like they say: "A famous person attracts trouble." Now that Mito is so well-known, a bunch of women are crazy about him, and every time something happens, I have to help him clean up the mess. It's really annoying.

  Uh... this isn't the time to think about that, there are still a few guys in front of me to deal with. To take off the ring on my hand...... uh? Ring?! Damn it!!! The ring is reflecting light, my position has been spotted by those people!

  I took a deep breath... I used to never wear this kind of glowing thing, and now that it's been put on me, I completely forgot about it.

  Sweat on my forehead has started to flow down slowly... I must not move, absolutely cannot move. If they have guns or something similar, if I make a single move, I'm done for. Although my movements are fast, compared to bullets... haha, of course, it's impossible to compare, so... now I absolutely cannot move. If I make a slight movement before they make their move, all my weaknesses will be exposed! Now I must calm down, I must... calm down...

  Breathing in the darkness has become slow and heavy, my line of sight seems to be getting used to the darkness in front of me, all the subtle sounds have become extremely clear in my ears... I think there are already two or three people who have started moving, when they move I must hide, but what about that other person, or those other two people? Will they move before I do? Then... will I get hurt?

  It's okay to get hurt, as long as no one dies... At least, before I take off this ring, I have to stay alive. Before I can see Yayoi that idiot and be at peace, before I can see my mom happy, I have to stay alive... Ugh, I'm not dead yet, what's with all the sentimental nonsense here, it's suffocating me.

  His fingers had slowly moved to his waist, and the moment his fingertips replaced them, the three people in front of him who were hiding in the dark had already fired their guns... Although they were silencers... But when firing, there would definitely be a slight muffled sound... Heh heh, so... The direction is over there?

  With a sudden movement, the coins (RMB, it was RMB, I just took out RMB) between his fingers were shot out, and all that could be heard were several suppressed light hums, then several things fell down...

  Huu... I'm injured after all. From the transfer to now, it seems like this is my first injury. But that's okay, from when I was grazed by a bullet earlier... I already know where the remaining people are. If nothing unexpected happens (like some people hiding in the shadows without making a move), there should only be one person standing 20 meters away to my left. Hehe... That jump just now changed my position and also concealed the glare from that damned ring, so this match... I've won for sure!

  The last coin in my pocket was gone when I had already jumped onto the stage calmly.

  Mingyue's skills seem to be pretty good, at least during my brief fight earlier I was able to clear the stage of wolf-like creatures while rescuing people and also estimating whether there were any giant humanoid objects falling from above.

  "Xiao Cha? Are you hurt?!" He saw me when my entire arm was already soaked in blood.

  "It's nothing, just a graze from the bullet. Those people seem to be professional killers, haha... This school, I don't like it." I smiled slightly, and that last sentence was true. In our school, although there are many vicious students, and some students in the art building who are even a bit psychologically abnormal... but at least they wouldn't actually try to kill you, haha... this school... I don't like it.

  In the blink of an eye, it was as thin as a needle tip... A bullet?! The person above moved with a real gun?! Just now, Xiaocha was fighting with a professional killer who had a real gun on top?! Although I have fought with some people before... And sometimes I would encounter some thugs... But a professional killer... How could it be so easy? Earlier, when they fell from above, there seemed to be four or five people... Did she win by relying solely on herself?

  "Hey, you continue to rescue people, it seems like there are still a few people trapped behind." I saw Mingyue stunned and quickly reminded him. He finally reacted and rushed to rescue again. By the time they had managed to rescue everyone, half a day had already passed. The guy who swapped identities with Yuchi Mo and Xiayue Feng seemed to have suffered extremely severe injuries, lying motionless in a pool of blood... But his icy blue eyes still maintained an air of aloofness that kept people at bay.

  I took a few steps forward and wanted to help him up, but he stubbornly pushed me away...

  I was a bit angry and pulled his arm: "I'm not pitying you... I'm pitying your parents. They raised you with such difficulty, if you die it would be really not worth it."

  He slightly furrowed his brow, but I didn't care whether he was willing or not and directly knocked him out with a hand chop and dragged him out...

  The ambulances from the school were parked outside the concert hall, taking all the injured people to the school hospital for emergency treatment. Originally, the real Xiaoyue Feng should have been taken away for emergency treatment long ago, but no matter how many teachers and classmates went up to persuade him, he refused to leave... until I rescued everyone.

  "Ah...... this time...... thank you...... I'll make up for my loss, and settle the score." That blood-soaked youth was still so dazzling...... so...... dazzling.
