Chapter 26 The Last One
update icon Updated at 2026/8/11 17:00:04

Wow, this feeling is truly long gone.

With most of the class, I went to the open area outside the college airstrip, which had already been occupied by people from various classes.

A certain amount of hostility could be felt from everyone, a feeling I haven't experienced since the class struggles at Gray Academy, but my attack alarm has been ringing constantly, which is truly agonizing.

Can't this alarm have a switch? It's even more annoying than my morning alarm clock.

"Good morning, teacher, did you notice any morning wood this morning?"

We lingered at the airport for a while before Alicia slowly walked over and took out a box.

I've gotten used to her concern for everyone's physical condition, let's just consider it as a form of greeting.

"Everyone take one, apply it to your weapons when the time comes."

"What is this?"

Beatrice picked up a test tube and asked.

"Embedded potion of the Dirge of the Dragon, well, can't really call it embedded, it's just that I used some additional effect potions to enhance and prolong the effects of the Dirge of the Dragon."

"It's actually the Dirge of the Dragon..."

Herd walked over quickly and picked up a bottle.

"I never expected you to acquire something like this, well, I guess I've changed my opinion about alchemists."

"Well, thank you for that."

"What exactly is the Dirge of the Dragon?"

Beatrice asked from the side.

"A potion with a damage boost against dragons, basically like poison."

Madol said from the side.

This guy also dabbles in potions, just magical potions.

"It was actually Lin who reminded me, I wasn't even aware that our medical school's storage still had inventory of it."

Alicia glanced at me and said.

"Okay, that's about it, hurry and take them, even if you don't use them, you shouldn't let others benefit from it."

Indeed, just now when I mentioned the Dirge of the Dragon, several people from the surrounding classes looked over, it seems that there are quite a few who know the value of it.

But I don't rule out the possibility that some people have already been to the underground of the medical school to obtain the Dirge of the Dragon, after all, the people inside the medical school know about such things, according to their relationship with the nobles, they should have known a long time ago.

But it doesn't matter, before coming this morning I had already made a detour to Lanya's airship location once, and inside my ring now I have tens of thousands of doses of arrow potion, if push comes to shove, I can just pour it into the dragon's mouth and choke it to death.

Well, first I have to be more badass than the dragon.

The next time is a long wait, classmates can only chat with each other sparingly, mostly focusing on those who used to attend classes with us, the ones we dragged here are very quiet.

Geraldine is still wearing her black dress, looking lifeless, while Kenan beside her has been talking to her the whole time, completely clueless, what's their relationship, well, I can't be bothered with other people's business.

Finally, after waiting for about two hours, when the crowd was about to go berserk, the ridiculous principal finally came out to speak, I even saw Prince Selan standing near him, well, what exactly is this guy doing as a Council member? He didn't mention anything about the investigation I asked him to do before.

But maybe this guy is just very busy.

Next came the principal's 'heartfelt' speech, which made me yawn, as for the content, I didn't take in a single word.

Before lunch, we finished listening to the nonsense and, under the principal's presumptuous order, we started to board our respective airships.

Well, we did have an advantage when it came to the airships, after all, these were Dale's custom-modified, combat airships equipped with engines capable of running beyond capacity and all sorts of unscientific weapons. Even though we didn't plan on using the airships for combat or anything, having weapons was a good thing.

Dale, as our airship maintenance officer, also joined our team, which was a good thing.

But just now, I accidentally saw his notes, which mentioned something about testing new weapons. I hope he doesn't just start firing randomly.

The interior of the airship was quite decent, very comfortable, with leather seats even. But everyone just casually found a seat, which was also a good thing and could be considered a characteristic of our class. The nobles sat a certain way, the rogues lounged around, forming a unique class feature.

But then came the problem.

"Hey, did anyone see Ms. Mary?"

Yes, the issue now was that Mary was nowhere to be found.

If you were a student, that'd be one thing, but you’re a teacher, and you disappear.

Our class was small, and after getting registered, we could've left early, but now Ms. Mary was nowhere to be seen.

What's going on!

Are you kidding me!

"Come to think of it..."

Suddenly, Beryl said.

"I remember Mishua left early this morning, saying she was going to meet Ms. Mary..."

"Mishua?"

Our elven doctor lady actually went to see the sly teacher Mary, are you guys going to help dispose of a body?

Of course, it could also be for healing, but I wouldn't believe it regardless.

"Ugh..."

I quickly opened my terminal to call Ms. Mary, but after a long wait, there was still no response.

Over ten minutes passed, and the other class's airship had already taken off, when suddenly, Ms. Mary directly sent me coordinates!

I looked at the coordinates, and they were actually at a place tens of kilometers away from the academy. I sighed and handed the coordinates to Dale.

"It seems Ms. Mary's morning jog was quite far, let's go pick her up."

"Well..."

Dale chuckled.

"It's not that far."

"Huh?"

And then, I understood what Dale meant.

Because the next moment, our airship immediately ascended in place, then whooshed out.

Although I didn't feel a significant acceleration, the scene outside the window almost scared me to death.

"Hey hey hey, what's with our ship..."

"It reaches speeds similar to a jet, goes to full speed in just 3 seconds."

Dale raised a thumbs up to me.

"That's how we roll."

Just don't crash on me!

Sure enough, before long, we arrived at the coordinates Ms. Mary had given.

It was a vast marsh forest beside the western coast, and we directly landed in an open spot.

"Hey!"

As the door opened, the first thing we heard was Ms. Mary's greeting, followed by a figure being tossed in.

I instinctively caught the figure, so light, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a stranger.

"Who?"

"It's you..."

The other person glanced at me, furrowing their brow.

"Put me down now!"

Wow, quite the temper~ I nodded, then tossed her in the direction she came from.

"Hey hey hey!"

But she was caught again, this time by Ms. Mary.

"I finally found the last guy, and you're just tossing him around like that?"

"Who started the tossing, huh? Hm?"

"Well."

Ms. Mary let go, and the guy fell straight to the ground.

"You guys! I challenge you to a duel!"

The other person unsheathed their sword with a swish, but at that moment, she also saw it - countless ice spikes pointing at her from all directions. Simultaneously, a red sword of judgment slapped onto her hand, making her drop the sword she had pulled out.

"Sit down."

"…Yes."

The other person's face stiffened as they found a seat.

"Alright! The activity starts now! Let's go!"
