Chapter 1691

"No, you're wrong."

Everyone waited for Edward to continue.

"I never planned to use anyone, including you or who they originally wanted to send as the sacrificial pawn."

Edward explained.

"I was planning to wipe all crimes away after settling my affairs down at Germany. The official story would be that you were blackmailed and I would have allowed you to continue staying in school."

Natsuki, Ikaros, Avrora, and Kanon were doubtful. Even Astrea doubted he would go that far for Wu Yan.

But, Wu Yan felt Edward wasn't lying.

"Geniuses gather here in the school. And you, my friend, you shine on par with Magnus, a treasure of unparalleled brilliance."

Edward smiled.

"How can I let such a brilliant student go?"

"Hmph."

Wu Yan grinned.

"I see why they say this academy is one where might makes right."

"I am looking forward to your performance on Walpurgis Night."

Edward said.

"Okay, back down now. I will clear your name when the time is right. I will also tell the Grandell to release Henriette. This can all be water under the bridge, that's my offer."

Silence permeated the area.

Natsuki, Ikaros, Astrea, Avrora, and Kanon waited for Wu Yan to speak.

They followed his decision.

Wu Yan roamed his gaze over the ladies before sending his reply.

"Principal, I already know about this."

"Indeed, you know more than you let on."

"You knew it was me from the start?"

"I suspected as much."

Wu Yan shrugged while Edward waited for him to continue.

"I knew this would happen and I still allowed the "guy" to blackmail me into this, did you think I was here to really kill you?"

Edward flinched.

"Oh, and you left out something very important."

Wu Yan grinned.

"You haven't told us why Germany wanted to show off their Machine Doll and why they're so loyal to you?"

Natsuki & co gasped.

"You, what's your relationship with that guy from the Grandell family?"

Wu Yan smiled.

"I am getting a hunch that if I kill you, not only will I feel better, but the guy from the Grandell family will also sob and be furious over the ruined plans."

The air turned still as an aura gripped everyone.

Wu Yan listened to the blackmailer because he wanted to throw a spanner in the works.

Because he knew this was a ruse, he wanted to come here and really assassinate the principal.

It is that simple.

"Student Wu Yan."

The principal isn't joking.

"This isn't a wise choice. You will really become a felon at this rate. Do you not wish to study with your friends in the school?"

"What do you care? To cut off relations, you used students and relatives of students to further your plans. You chose poorly first. You think it's okay because you will wipe the mess you started first?"

Wu Yan continued.

"I don't want to work with people like you."

Wu Yan walked forward.

"You think you're so smart, you calculated everything but you didn't consider the real risk that the assassin might really be able to kill you."

"You're way too confident in your powers."

"19th century strongest wizard?"

"Tome from the future?"

"Legendary automata?"

"If that is your confidence then let me tear them to shreds in front of you."

Wu Yan took out a card from a portal near his hand.

The tarot card had a knight on it with the words "Saber" emblazoned on it.

Natsuki & co backed away when they saw the card.

Edward tried to analyze the card.

Is that a powerful artifact?

A mana surge unlike before exploded from Wu Yan.

As a mana storm raged around them, Wu Yan pumped the card with his nigh-infinite mana.

Wu Yan mumbled.

Phantasmal Summon

The card glowed bright like the setting sun

Vrmmm

As the light warped Wu Yan's body, a blue formation swiped Wu Yan from top to bottom.

The light was so intense Edward had to cover his eyes.

A sense of crisis rose within the principal.

"Ed!"

Ishtar felt the same threat too. Ed gave Ishtar magic power to resist the lights.

"Heed my call! To me! My Army!"

Ishtar summoned a torrent of spirits to shield Edward and Ishtar.

A gigantic shockwave flew from within the white lights.

It hit the shield of damned spirits.

Boom

The spirits were dispelled by the immense force.

"—!"

As the spirits dissipated, Ed had to resist the wind with his hands.

Nonetheless, the two were still staggered by the sudden impact.

What was that? Mere wind?

The wind blew away the spirits?!
