Hero Square.
The mass unconsciousness of hundreds of freshmen was a difficult problem. Under normal circumstances, they would definitely be taken to the infirmary for care, but for some reason, Kaiya had actually locked down the entire Hero Square, not allowing anyone to leave.
The reason given was the concern over potential undercover agents.
Zephu glanced at Kaiya with a hint of unease in her heart.
She didn't understand what Kaiya was trying to do.
But on second thought, Kaiya was, after all, a member of the Kritov family.
Most people from the Kritov family had abnormal mental circuits.
Including his brother Buze, both siblings were equally neurotic, though their forms of neurosis differed.
"Assistant Kaiya, are we really going to keep waiting here?" Zephu was truly worried about the students' condition and couldn't help but ask Kaiya.
Kaiya sighed. "I understand your concern for the students, Teacher Zephu. In fact, my feelings are the same as yours; I am also very worried about them. However, since the principal is not at the academy right now, I, as the principal's assistant, must take on this responsibility."
"If heretics were involved in this incident, the consequences would be unimaginable. We cannot let a single heretic escape!"
"But what about the children?" Zephu asked.
Kaiya smiled and said, "With the Sacred Blessing Stone of the founder there, nothing will happen to them. Besides, my brother is also inside; my worry is no less than yours."
Looking at those calm golden eyes, Zephu was stunned for a moment.
It was true. Kaiya's own brother was also on Wuxin Island. If there was danger inside, Kaiya would only be more nervous than they were.
She looked down at the score tracker.
The first-place score had reached a terrifying 5,000 points, creating a gap nearly twenty times larger than that of the second-place participant!
But this score hadn't changed for quite some time.
Was it stuck?
She blanked out for a moment, then suddenly looked up, her gaze fixed on that rainbow light curtain.
At the same time, Kaiya and the other teachers couldn't help but look over as well.
Under everyone's gaze, that brilliant rainbow light curtain suddenly shattered like glass. The crisp sound of the fragmentation was like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into the hearts of Zephu and the others.
"Wuxin Island... is gone?"
"What on earth happened?"
"..."
The teachers' faces were uniform masks of disbelief, frozen in place with shock.
Beneath the shimmering rainbow particles floating in the sky, everyone who had been trapped on Wuxin Island appeared on the square. They lay on the ground, fallen into a deeper slumber.
"Great, they're finally out!" Zephu breathed a sigh of relief. Although the sight of Wuxin Island vanishing was more shocking, the students were safe after all.
Kaiya's golden eyes widened, looking like a roaring lion about to explode at any moment.
He didn't run over with the other teachers. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes fixed on the area filled with rainbow starlight and the large group of still-living freshmen.
Why! Why were these guys still alive?
Why didn't they die!
Where was Chaos? Where was the Chaos he wanted to see?
Where was that impostor pretending to be Princess Ruiya?
Where was she? Where!
Why did the plan fail!!!
Grinya stood amidst the crowd of fallen people. She was the only person standing on the scene, making her instantly visible.
However, she was clearly in a daze at the moment, looking around blankly.
Her mind was completely unclear about what had happened, but since she was still alive, Lord Xun Shen must have won, right?
Oh right, Princess Ruiya!
She shifted her gaze and suddenly saw Ruiya, who was blending into the crowd and pretending to be unconscious.
Grinya was almost amused by her gall. Did the other party take her for a fool?
Back in the secret realm, it was normal for her to admit defeat when she couldn't beat her, but now that they were back at the academy, you, a cultist who kidnapped the real princess, still want to slide by?
As she reached out, about to expose Ruiya's identity, her body stiffened slightly, and she froze in place.
Grinya: "..."
Could the Evil God Lord not come back at such a convenient time?
"Hmm? I just got back and the trial is over?" the Evil God Lord muttered to himself in confusion.
【You have completed the main story quest: The Radiance of Yiertaya, Part 2.】
【Obtained Source Crystals * 500, Prestige * 100.】
【Due to your outstanding performance in the dungeon, you have received an extra Blessing Stone * 1, Prestige * 500.】
【You have completed the time-limited quest: The Threefold Return of Buze.】
【Obtained Sword of Honor * 1, High-tier Experience Potion * 1, Source Crystals * 500, Prestige * 250.】
Having completed two quests simultaneously, the series of system notifications left Lu Xun dazzled.
"Holy crap, I'm rich!"
Lu Xun said blankly.
"Grinya..." Zephu walked over, her expression somewhat complicated.
She glanced again at the first-place name on the score tracker. Her lip twitched slightly, and then she looked at the white-haired girl with a strange expression.
Even if she couldn't believe it, she had to admit that this freshman girl she had met once before had achieved a truly terrifying result in this Wuxin Island trial.
This score set the best record in the history of Yiertaya Academy, and in the future, it would absolutely never be replicated!
5,000 points...
Did this girl go in and kill every single monster?
However, what Zephu cared about most right now wasn't the score. As the only person conscious after this Wuxin Island trial, Grinya had far too many questions Zephu wanted to ask her.
What happened inside Wuxin Island?
What did she do in there?
Why did Wuxin Island disappear?
She was eager to know the truth behind these and other questions.
But as she opened her mouth, before she could say a word, she suddenly felt that the other girl's aura was very wrong.
It seemed to be the aura of a Life Crown...
"You've reached the top-ter mage level?" Zephu blurted out in shock.
This feeling couldn't be wrong. After all, Zephu had been at the top-ter mage level for many years. That was definitely the "true" Life Crown aura, but... three days ago, hadn't Grinya just become a mage?
At this time, the other teachers also gathered around.
Except for Evan, who looked like he didn't want to have any contact with Grinya.
"A top-ter mage? How is that possible?" the teachers exclaimed.
"What level are you now?" Zephu hurriedly asked.
Grinya's lifeless eyes showed a flash of confusion, as if she didn't understand why Zephu would ask that, but she still said, "Level 13."
"Level 13!" Several teachers' eyes widened, looking as if they had seen a ghost.
"How on earth did you do it?"
"Is it that strange?" Grinya asked back. "Isn't it normal to gain experience from killing monsters?"
The teachers were stunned for a moment, then nodded in realization.
"Oh, my head. I almost forgot. The monsters on Wuxin Island have a special mechanism where killing them provides experience." One teacher laughed dryly and tapped his head.
"It seems this student must have killed quite a few monsters; otherwise, reaching Level 13 would still be a very difficult task."
"Scared me to death. I thought our academy had produced another monster."
The teachers chatted and laughed.
Only Zephu felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, it hit her like an electric shock, and her whole body jolted.
"Wait! Isn't the experience gained within Wuxin Island supposed to disappear?"
She quickly looked toward Grinya, but Grinya had already walked a long way off while she was lost in thought.
