"How did October and the others return through the Dimensional Gate?!" Qi Xiaosai was slightly bewildered. Logically, shouldn't only Cang Yue and he possess the Dimensional Gate? What was going on with October? Could it be that Cang Yue sent them back?
"Stop thinking about it. I did it."
Asagami Fujino appeared behind Qi Xiaosai.
"Principal!"
Qi Xiaosai exclaimed in surprise.
"Keep your voice down! If I hadn't set up a soundproofing barrier, you would have already been discovered!"
Asagami Fujino said irritably. Only then did Qi Xiaosai realize that he was surrounded by a transparent, film-like layer that was hard to notice without looking closely.
"Principal, what exactly is your ability?" Qi Xiaosai asked curiously. His Gods Hand had previously tried to copy Asagami Fujino's Seventh Sense, but it hadn't copied anything.
"I don't have the Seventh Sense." Asagami Fujino laughed. Everything about her, including her abilities, was integrated into the core of Migeiko. The existence of the core was Asagami Fujino's entirety. The copied Seventh Sense, after merging with the core, was no longer called the Seventh Sense; it merely existed as an ability. As for using a suitable elemental stone to activate the Seventh Sense, that was also useless. Asagami Fujino had tested it herself: the Seventh Sense she activated using an elemental stone was the Power of Distortion, the same as the The Demon Eye of Distortion. After activation, this Seventh Sense merged with the core, strengthening the power of the The Demon Eye of Distortion.
"None!" Qi Xiaosai was very surprised. He had always thought that Asagami Fujino's strange abilities came from the Seventh Sense or the mysterious Eighth Sense, but now Asagami Fujino was telling him that she did not possess the Seventh Sense ability.
"You will find out the reason later. For now, proceed according to the plan. Once October and the Fallen Angels start fighting, you can go in and rescue the people." Asagami Fujino said.
"Then what are you here for, Principal?" Qi Xiaosai asked, confused.
"Me?" Asagami Fujino smiled slightly. "I'm here to find my future wife!~"
---!
Could it be that Po Jun was telling the truth? Qi Xiaosai couldn't help but recall the explosive news Po Jun had shared with him on the road before they met Doctor Amy: the new Principal and Literary Star seemed to have an improper relationship, suggesting the Principal's sexual orientation might be unusual. Initially, Qi Xiaosai didn't believe it, but now it seemed everything Po Jun said was correct—or rather, it was correct from the start, since Asagami Fujino had just admitted it right in front of him.
"You seem very surprised." Asagami Fujino raised an eyebrow, looking at Qi Xiaosai. "I thought you had figured it out already."
"Huh?" Qi Xiaosai didn't understand why Asagami Fujino would say that.
"Otherwise, why would I have chased you all into a different villa?" Asagami Fujino smiled.
"So that's it!" Qi Xiaosai nodded in sudden realization. That's how it was!
"Alright, they've started." Asagami Fujino suddenly looked into the distance, where a fierce flash of fire could be seen. It was undoubtedly October. As for February, he proceeded as originally planned, entering the Black Moon Base through a secret passage and leaving. It now seemed October had dealt with that disgusting Sha Yin. Asagami Fujino suddenly wondered if Xuan Yue had another motive besides planning the annihilation of the Black Moon Iron Cavalry this time—for example, eliminating all the ugly-looking Fallen Angels? In the original storyline, all the unattractive Fallen Angels were eliminated by October, and those who survived were all relatively decent-looking.
The more Asagami Fujino thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Looking ahead to the plan to encircle and annihilate VV Academy, those Defective Strain Fallen Angels were all hideous and messy-looking, and later they were all frozen to death by Cang Yue's move, In Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am Honored.
It seems Xuan Yue also pays attention to the appearance of his subordinates. However, it would be impossible to say it directly, so Xuan Yue probably sent them all out to die to spare their feelings, which not only solved the issue of how their existence might affect others' impression of the organization but also utilized them as cannon fodder.
Of course, this was all Asagami Fujino's speculation, but the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
At this moment, on the other side, Xuan Yue, who was searching for Cang Yue in the Black Moon Base, suddenly felt like someone was talking about him behind his back. However, Xuan Yue's attention was quickly diverted by the empty Cultivation Tank.
Xuan Yue frowned slightly, looking at the empty Cultivation Tank before him, and whispered, "Was it VV Academy?"
"Lord Xuan Yue, there is no trace of Cang Yue here." Sosuke, who was nearby, said after detecting the area using his Seventh Sense.
"Lord Xuan Yue, could someone have taken Cang Yue away already?" Nightingale asked from the side.
Xuan Yue remained silent, pondering something.
"Nightingale, go to VV Academy. Sosuke, you stay here and deal with the others."
"Yes." Sosuke replied.
Subsequently, Nightingale activated her Seventh Sense Instant Movement and began taking Xuan Yue toward VV Academy.
"The strongest enemy has arrived." Sosuke looked out the window with a grave expression. There, October was slowly walking into the Black Moon Base, holding the lifeless June in his arms. October's expression was calm, but even so, Sosuke could sense the monstrous rage emanating from him.
"Quickly, tell Master Ma to come back! He has no chance against October!" Sosuke shouted urgently, but the massive tremor coming from downstairs made Sosuke realize it was already too late.
In Hall One, Master Ma's massive body turned crimson. Terrifying heat, controlled by October, converged into a single point in his fist and struck Master Ma's body, instantly heating it up to tens of thousands of degrees and destroying the high-density body created by Master Ma's Seventh Sense.
"Master Ma is dead!" Sosuke said gravely.
"How could that be?" asked a Fallen Angel wearing an eye patch nearby, confused.
"The Black Moon Iron Cavalry's strength is comparable to ours, and you should have also noticed that the Black Moon Iron Cavalry are stronger than me in combat. If we hadn't exploited the weakness of their Seventh Sense, we wouldn't have had such an easy time!"
"And regarding the ability of October of Flame, none among us—especially Zhao Hao—can restrain him!"
"What a joke! That damned October of Flame is no match for the saber in my hand," said another man, shirtless and carrying a Great Saber on his back, unconvinced.
Sosuke said gravely, "Alright, Jiu, you stay here and watch over the bodies of the Black Moon Iron Cavalry. Lilith will be here soon. After that, you and Liaosai'er will return to Paradise Lost first. Your ability is not suited for combat. The rest of you, come with me to confront October of Flame!"
On the other side, Asagami Fujino saw that the time was right. She looked at Qi Xiaosai and said, "Get ready in a moment. Once I've finished dealing with things, you go in and rescue the people."
"Yes." Qi Xiaosai replied. Right after he finished speaking, Asagami Fujino instantly vanished.
Qi Xiaosai looked at the vanished Asagami Fujino and sighed inexplicably, "Why would a beautiful woman like the Principal like women?"
This was probably something Qi Xiaosai would never understand.
