Chapter 15: The Only Familiar?

  It's been a whole week since I met Chris Zhu Yue that night.

  Today is the opening ceremony of Beross Academy. As the vice president of the student council, Sei Yū, and the head of the self-governing department, Seron, stood at the edge of the stage.

  Two people looked at each other with a bit of concern as Lilliana gave her speech in the center.

  Although it seemed like Liliana had adjusted her state, Sei Yu could sense Liliana's change.

  She who has always been efficient and capable, occasionally becomes absent-minded. Moreover, the intensity of recent training has been continuously upgraded.

  In a subtle way, Xingyou felt that Liriana had revealed an emotion, which was anxiety!

  Ceylon slowly approached Xingyou: "I think you should also have noticed what happened in Veros City recently."

  "Well, recently Beross City has been in a state of unrest. A series of brutal murders have occurred one after another. However, the perpetrator cannot be caught, and there are eyewitnesses who claim that the killer is a black magician, while others say it's an 'evil spirit'. In any case, Beross City has already fallen into unrest."

  Although Cailon had already passed through the hurricane and knew roughly everything, he did not tell Xingyou for the time being.

  Because Seron is waiting, waiting for Liliana to come and tell Xingyou personally, he believes that Liliana will definitely say it out!

  "Xingyou, do you know why Principal Embas is waiting for us? Does he have something to discuss with us?"

  Xing You looked at Tui Zi who was yawning boredly beside him, he also didn't know why the principal suddenly called for him.

  Even as the vice president of the student council, Sei Yū had only seen Embas from a distance.

  He himself didn't even know why Embas would look for him, Seron, and Liliana.

  Even at the opening ceremony of Beiros Academy, Enbas, as the principal, didn't show up.

  As the opening ceremony that was gradually coming to an end, Lilliana, who had finished her speech, slowly came before Sei and Tio.

  "Let's go, leave the rest to other members of the student council. Now let's go see Principal Embas."

  Xingyou and Selon exchanged a glance, nodded: "Then let's go!"

  Liliana led Starou and Seron through the corridors of Bellrose Academy, arriving at the administrative building in the center of the academy.

  They arrived at the door of the principal's office and found that a fierce quarrel was coming from inside, as if they were arguing about something.

  One of the voices was a somewhat familiar voice to Hoshino and Seron, and it was actually their homeroom teacher, Wood.

  Liliana knocked gently on the principal's door: "Principal Embas, I've brought Xingyou and Seron."

  In fact, there was another one who accompanied Xing You like a shadow, and that was Leizi.

  "Come in, all of you!" said Enbas Na in a somewhat aged voice.

  Xingyou and Selon were also visiting the principal's office for the first time, and the principal's office was surprisingly luxurious, with all sorts of certificates and trophies filling the entire room.

  Seiya, Lilianna, Seron, including Tear, all bowed to Enbas as their elder.

  Liliana looked at Wood, who was red in the face and seemed extremely angry. What had happened to make Teacher Wood so furious?

  "Excuse me, Principal and Director of Studies, is there something you need us for?"

  Wood leaned back on the long chair with a displeased expression: "I think you should also know about the massacre case that happened in Berros City recently. Because it has been a long time and we can't catch the murderer, the city lord hopes that Principal Embas can lend a hand."

  As Wood spoke, Liriana's expression gradually turned shocked, and she began to ask: "Then what does it have to do with calling us over?"

  Wu De couldn't help but stare at the principal who was lost in thought.

  "Of course it matters, because your principal actually sent you here as support from Bellrose Academy."

  "Woody nagged incessantly: 'Principal Embass, they're just kids! Didn't the castle lord send a message? The killer is likely to be a powerful black magician, and you're sending these three kids as support? Are you trying to get them killed?!'"

  He closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep like Embas, without understanding Wood's meaning.

  But in Wood's eyes, Liriana, who had always been a standard model student, was incredibly excited and slapped the table.

  "This task, I must take it!"

  Wood sensed Liliana's obsession and wondered what drove her to be so eager to take on this mission!

  He didn't know Lilianna wanted to take on this task so badly because of the dark magician!

  Liliana's brother, but one of the black magicians who appeared here, even appearing at the scene of the murder.

  Although Liliana didn't know everything like Cielon did!

  But Lilianna knew that as long as she followed this murder case, she would definitely see her brother again!

  And under Woods' incomprehensible circumstances, Seron and Seiyu also gave extremely serious answers.

  "This mission, we're next!"

  Liliana turned around and looked at them, that expression of unwavering determination on the faces of Seirin and Ceylon, knowing why they had taken on this task.

  It's for myself! And also for that little girl whose family was slaughtered!

  Liliana actually wanted to say that you didn't have to do this, but looking at the two people's firm eyes, she knew it was pointless to say more.

  "Then Xingyou, Selon and Leizi, thank you!"

  Wu De couldn't understand why these three people in front of him had to take on this task.

  "You should know that this is a black magician! Not an ordinary prisoner, every black magician has blood on their hands!"

  "You're still just kids, how can you possibly face a dark wizard? And this time, your opponent is likely to be one of the strongest in the dark wizarding world!"

  Liliana knew Wood was worried about their safety.

  "But I have to go," he said with utmost seriousness, "Mr. Wood, I'm definitely going!"

  Looking at Lilliana's pleading eyes, Wood softened immediately and glared at the principal who was pretending to sleep!

  "Principal, at this time, shouldn't you make a statement!"

  Embass slowly opened his eyes, because what happened that night, Embass and Laplace both saw it.

  Also know why Lilianna has been having such abnormalities recently, and the best solution is!

  Let Liliana handle it herself, the problem between her and her brother.

  Although Embas is unwilling to admit it, in the entire city of Veros, perhaps only the four people in front of him can handle this matter!

  Able to summon a familiar like Soten Kizuko, the potential of Sei Yū Kurīūdo is immeasurable!

  Possessing the power of sealing at a specific level, known as Soten no Kaze no Tatsumaki!

  The Shadow designates the one and only sister, Liliana Cris!

  Appearing incredibly lazy, yet possessing astonishing energy is Seron, Chara, Relly!

  Even as a title of Embass, he didn't have the qualifications to participate in this event.

  "Xing You, Liliana, Cailon, and Leizi, I actually didn't want to give this matter to you all."

  "But I know you will definitely intervene in this matter!"

  "So, I have only one request for you all, which is that I hope you can come back alive, Beross Academy needs you to lead!"

  Wu De looked at Enbas who had actually said such words and didn't know what else to say!

  Liliana gazed at Principal Embas, whom she respected, with a nod of utmost gratitude.

  "Thank you, Principal Embas!"

  Principal Enbas took out a magical document from the drawer: "This is a document with my seal and signature, with this, your actions will be much more convenient. What I want to entrust to you is just that!"

  Liliana took over the documents from Embas' hands, which meant she had accepted Embas' entrustment!

  Three people slowly left here, Enbas looked at Wood who was extremely dissatisfied and knew what he was annoyed about.

  "Wude, did you think I would just silently watch these kids step into that muddy water?"

  "Do you know? Seiru and Seron are trying to unlock the shackles that have been binding Liliana, the shackles of kinship!"

  "I've never begged anyone in my life, but this time for these kids, it's time for me to swallow my pride and ask an old friend."

  From Embas's expression and words, Wood could understand the severity of this incident!

  As a teacher, as an instructor, can't just silently watch the children go all out, and I haven't exercised in a long time!

  Due to the start of school and the murder case, the entire Bellrose Academy has been sealed off!

  That closed big gate slowly opened because of a few children.

  Xing You looked at the slowly closing iron gate of Beross Academy, rubbing his own occipital bone, extremely helpless.

  "Xie Long, it seems like as freshmen, we've just started school and we're already preparing to skip class?"

  "This isn't playing hooky, it's 'personal business', although I've been planning to play hooky for a long time!"

  Xing You looked at Selon's self-righteous appearance and couldn't find any hint of a prince's "dignity" on him!

  But this matter absolutely cannot be let Xia Qing know about, because it's already not an event that Xia Qing can come into contact with.

  And since being summoned, for the first time, Tear was blocked and finally put down that playful attitude.

  This time's opponent is really strong!

  Cailon casually placed his hand on Xingyou's shoulder, his tone still lazy, but making people feel the deep and solemn atmosphere hidden beneath.

  "Liliana, and Xingyou, remember a fact!"

  "This is not a joke, with our strength, if we take a wrong step, even if it's just a small mistake, there's no way to save us!"

  "We can't rely on the city guards, they won't even bother with us, these 'kids' who are still wet behind the ears. The only ones we can rely on is ourselves, based on the intel I have in my hands."

  "The murderer should be the 'Devil Specified' summoner, one of the strongest sealed by the 'Tomb Organization'!"

  Liliana was incredibly surprised that Seron had such detailed information, yet she was willing to believe him, knowing he had no reason to deceive her.

  "The perpetrator is 'Demon Designate'! The only ones who can be called Designates are the ultra-powerful individuals who have reached the level of Sealing Designation, and it's a title that only they are qualified to possess!"

  "The culprit is actually a Sealed Specified Summoner?! To take down a summoner of the same rank, we need to gather multiple strong individuals of the same rank! Our entire Kingdom of Braine doesn't have that many Sealed Specified strong individuals!"

  Cerol shook his head: "Right in front of you, there is a sealed designated strong person, that is Soten Rui Zi! Your brother, the shadow designated Zhu Yue Kris, plus your brother's partner, the dark flame designated Daila Julia. There are already four sealed designations."

  "And I couldn't believe it, as a summoner, Sei Yū only has one familiar, Sōten no Ko!"
