The once prosperous city has become a thing of the past. There are no longer bustling crowds, only the sound of people groaning in pain, lamenting the desolation and bleakness of the world.

The wide roads are now indistinguishable, the ruins of the city have formed new winding paths. A man in a black trench coat and military cap stands alone on the collapsed skyscraper, halting his steps.

"Come out, are you willing to follow me all the way?"

There is no response to the call from the man in the black trench coat. He scoffs and pulls out a long sword, thrusting it straight into the ground, chanting something under his breath.

"Dark messenger, heed my command—exterminate the hundred ghosts!"

Suddenly, cries of agony sound from all directions.

"Oh, the sea monsters still survive?"

"Lord Commander... truly the elite of the elite among humans!"

A man in a white robe emerges from behind the man in the black trench coat, elegantly brushing off the mud on his clothes.

"Oh? Count Phylis, one of the progenitors of the blood clan, actually ventures out on his own to hunt the Four Emperors. It's rare. Do you really think you can defeat me with just yourself?"

"Don't compare me to Duke Liana!"

Count Phylis seems angry, gritting his teeth as he yells at the man.

Strange black smoke emanates from the blade of the man in the black trench coat, forming a huge lid-like cover in the sky. A shadow streaks across the sky, but is futile in breaking through the barrier.

"Will you pay the price for your arrogance today?"

The man in the black trench coat smirks slightly.

"I know you have bought many undead reinforcements around here. The news that just aired was your doing, right?"

"Correct guess. We are behind it, and our mission is to eliminate you all!"

"Report to headquarters, the vortex under the Pacific Ocean has become extremely violent, with the emergence of giant sea... (signal interference) a significant catalysis! Estimated time remaining—sixteen days!"

"Hold on, there is someone in the center of the vortex!"

In the midst of the massive tornado, a man with a trickle of white hair dragging on his head, dressed in white attire like a European medieval nobleman, smiles at the driver with bloody teeth revealed.

"Oh, the sunlight on land... it's been a while!"

...

If one day, you have to go against the whole society, then... Juxi, what would you do?

In my youth, who told me those words?

Was it my father?

Yes, it was that terrifying man. His words...

"Ah!"

It's so cold, with so many days of rain, the air is filled with dampness everywhere. Being outdoors, even if I don't catch a cold, I can't bear the icy chill outside.

"Wuwuwu... it's so cold!"

I hug myself and shiver, thinking, is everyone happily getting warmed by the heater in their rooms?

Even if there's nothing, it's still better than sleeping outside with the windows closed!

After sleeping the whole day, waking up, the weather hasn't changed much, but has gotten worse.

It's all because of my stubbornness, that's why my mood is so bad and I can't calm down.

"I'm so hungry..."

I subconsciously touch my flat stomach and realize I need to eat something.

"Although not starving, the sense of hunger in humans still lingers in memory and is hard to shake off!"

I couldn't help but make fun of myself, and if you give me a reason to make fun of me... it's just too boring, isn't it?

"Hagrid, is there anything to eat today?"

"......"

"What's with your attitude? I'm talking to you..."

No matter how angry Chiyori gets, I won't get into an argument with her, developing such bad habits is not good for them!

Ugh, why am I still worrying about those guys? Am I their babysitter?

"You should go ask the president about that, from now on she will be in charge of these trivial matters with you."

With that said, I walked away without looking back from the old school building where we temporarily resided, because they really don't need someone like me who takes things seriously in mindset but acts very casually.

Maybe I shouldn't take it to heart, even if I escape, it doesn't seem to be my fault.

"Hagrid, where are you going... hey?"

I ignored Yukari who was greeting me, and casually walked past her as if nothing happened.

Why have I always hoped to get something from Yukari and never thought about doing something for Yukari?

As someone who is always approached by others, I am well aware of the trouble I bring to those around me, but...

Isn't wandering around aimlessly now a bigger problem?

Forget it, overthinking won't help, right now, I can't beat anyone, and facing a special A-level Evil Entity, the only option is to run away.

"Well, where should I go to kill time next?"

At times like this, the only person I could think of was Sakai Yuanhui.

Usually, I just like to lie down on the sofa for a rest, occasionally going out for a walk.

What an annoying guy, always feeling like someone is watching me, could it be Edward?

"I wonder if Yukari and the others have this feeling, before revealing that man's true identity, I absolutely cannot lose my composure."

So instead of heading straight to Yuanhui's dorm, I went around in a big circle and returned to the school gate, then I patted my head, trying to divert attention to every corner behind me as much as possible.

Hehe, within this short hour, I finally managed to figure out the other person's whereabouts, if it were Edward, there's no way he would be so careless.

Clairvoyance, being in its early stages, I could only sweep a range of about a kilometer, but I could already see who was following me to some extent...

Brave enough, following me for so long without getting annoyed, if it were just a prank, I think I would have taken action by now, right?

But the other party's attitude is just too good, for a while I couldn't find any handle to catch them.

"Tch, since I can't catch them, I might as well shake them off!"

When I reached the street ahead, I hastened my pace and projected a shadow of myself in another direction.

There's no choice, the academy has been getting more chaotic lately, sometimes it's necessary to be more cautious.

"Phew, looks like I fell for it, well, for now, let's just leave it, I don't know which unlucky guy is following me, but for now, I'll let it slide."

The academy is now full of hidden talents, who knows how many people might be eyeing the power of the badge for plundering?

"Hey, buddy!"

"Haha, no matter what the situation, you always manage to smile so happily."

"That's right, I have some very important research every day. Anyway, someone with such simplistic thoughts as you wouldn't understand."

Well, simplistic thoughts...

Let's not ask about it. It's not a good thing anyway, so let's not dwell on it.

"Oh, by the way, I didn't come here to chat with you. Don't you think things have been quite unusual lately?"

"Unusual?"

Yuanhui looked surprised as he glanced out the window, stood up, and pondered after pulling back the curtains.

"Well, indeed there's something unusual going on. Seems like it's the work of the Evil Entity... Hey, didn't I tell you about it before? Besides, you already know, don't you?"

"I'm not bringing up that matter again. I mean, have you noticed anyone monitoring me recently?"

"Yes!"

To my surprise, before I could finish speaking, Yuanhui smiled and admitted, "Well, I have been keeping an eye on you all along."

"I don’t have time to joke around with you!"

"I'm not joking with you either. Edward indeed instructed me to monitor you alone, without any other assistance."

After a stream of curses, "Oh, enough already! If you call me the wrong name again, I'll split your head open and see if it's mush inside! Got it?"

Sitting in a corner of Class S was a male student with partially white hair, that would be me, who had been at the school for two months but had no intention of getting to know anyone in this class – those real people.

Observing the cozy couples chattering around me, I sighed dramatically and reluctantly took out my textbooks to divert my attention.

Just then, a girl carrying a lunch bag entered, seemingly delivering food for a classmate.

The girl blinked her big green-black eyes and smilingly handed over the lunch bag in her hand.

Unfortunately, the boy seemed completely oblivious and continued flipping through his foreign language textbook, muttering to himself about the trouble the violent girl gave him every time she spoke. The girl furrowed her brows lightly, took a deep breath, and yelled, "Yuanhui!"

The purple ponytail on the girl's head bristled angrily.

"Oh, Lina?"

Before Yuanhui could finish speaking, Lina delivered a swift slap to his head.

"Ouch, that hurts! What are you doing, Nana?"

Looking at Yuanhui clutching his head in pain, Lina showed a hint of a smile, casually ruffled his nearly cracked head, and said with satisfaction, "That's right, remember to call me Nana from now on!"

It should be noted that the Class S uniform style is gold and white, with boys wearing trousers and girls wearing skirts.

"You two are really a loving pair, displaying affection first thing in the morning. Don't you find it annoying to others?"

"Annoying... Hey, it's clearly that certain people are just envious and jealous, right?"

"You... Haha, I'm not envious at all, you know?"

I replied with a forced smile, then turned my head, holding back tears.

Lina might have been slightly dissatisfied with my dismissive response to her earlier question, as Yuanhui received a scolding.

"We're not a couple, don't misunderstand. He and I are just ordinary friends... Remember, if you call me the wrong name again, I'll split your head open and see if it's mush inside! Got it?"

Is she talking to me or talking to Yuanhui?
