Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 46 Violating the Ban on Killing, the Challenge Continues!
Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Violating the Ban on Killing, the Challenge Continues!
"Ah!"
Until the shrill scream of a female student broke the deadly silence.
Everyone snapped back to reality, their first subconscious action was to step back, not daring to look at Xiao Zhan, their eyes filled with fear, terrified they would be implicated in misfortune!
They could never have imagined Xiao Zhan would kill someone.
Let alone kill someone inside the academy!
How could he dare?
The academy explicitly forbids killing!
Apart from the fear of these people, there was a different emotion occupying a larger share in some others.
Especially Zhao Long!
His gaze was fixed on Xiao Zhan, and unlike the fear in others’ eyes, Zhao Long’s were filled with irrepressible excitement!
Thinking to himself, "Xiao Zhan, you really caught me by surprise. To dare to kill someone in broad daylight against the academy’s rules, should I admire your courage or call you stupid?"
"But you did well by killing, if you hadn’t killed someone, I would have had to waste a lot of time and resources."
A big smile spread across Zhao Long’s face.
Although the person Xiao Zhan killed was from his Zhao Family, he was in a very good mood right now!
Because killing someone in the academy is a serious crime, Xiao Zhan’s open defiance of the rules was even more grievous, he would be taken away by the Law Enforcement Team directly for trial.
And with Xiao Zhan, the overt number one contender, out of this grand competition, it naturally had to be fought for anew!
And at this time, he, Zhao Long, was the only one with absolute combat power!
The first place was now within his grasp!
Sure enough, following Xiao Zhan’s killing, a crowd from the Law Enforcement Team rushed onto the stage, surrounded Xiao Zhan, and took him away!
Meanwhile, in the dean’s office!
"Look, now what a mess has been made! I said we should dissuade them, but you insisted on proceeding, and now not only has one died, but another will be criminally charged!" Zhu Rong said furiously.
Zhao Jiwu and Jiang Wenfu hadn’t expected things to unfold so unexpectedly.
A bit stunned.
But soon, Zhao Jiwu’s face showed an appreciative laugh, "This kid’s got guts; I like it! Knowing that he couldn’t win by repeated challenges, he took a tough stance, killing one to warn the others, and forcefully halted the challenges! A combination of courage and wisdom!"
"Just too ruthless. Couldn’t he have just chopped off an arm or a leg or something? It would have achieved the same effect in halting the subsequent challenges."
In such a serious situation, Zhao Jiwu seemed nonchalant, not only indifferent to the life of the student but even praising Xiao Zhan.
Zhu Rong was even angrier, "Do you even realize what’s happened? A student has died, there’s been a loss of life, and this is your attitude as the vice dean?"
"What else should my attitude be?" retorted Zhao Jiwu, his face stern as he was pointed at, "So what if he’s dead? What can I do about it? I can’t bring him back to life, the logistics department will handle this, compensation and consolation will be done, what do you want me to do? Kneel down and apologize?"
His icy demeanor and indifferent tone were fuel to Zhu Rong’s fire!
"How can someone as cold-blooded as you be fit to be the vice dean! I disdain to be associated with you!"
"You are fit! You are! Right, you’re the qualified one? The students you taught, every one of them genteel, without the slightest spirit, would just be marching to their deaths on the battlefield!"
"That’s still better than the cold-blooded creatures you trained!"
The two men traded barbs, seemingly about to start arguing again.
Jiang Wenfu finally spoke up, "Enough, can the two of you quarrel less for one day? Every time you meet, you can’t even exchange a few words without arguing, anyone who doesn’t know better would think you’re street brawlers!"
The words of the dean still carried weight, and with that, both fell silent.
"Dean, what do we do now? Someone has died," Zhu Rong asked anxiously.
Jiang Wenfu pondered for a moment, then said, "The competition continues."
"Continue? Even under these circumstances? Aren’t you afraid that Xiao Zhan will keep killing?" Zhu Rong asked in surprise.
Hearing this, Zhao Jiwu could not hold back and burst out, "Are you stupid? Xiao Zhan dares to kill; do you think those participating in the gauntlet dare to step up? It’s not like they have a death feud; nobody wants to throw their life away."
Although scolded, Zhu Rong actually calmed down quite a bit.
What Zhao Jiwu said was true; they dared to set Xiao Zhan up for a gauntlet because they knew the Academy’s prohibitions protected them, believing that Xiao Zhan wouldn’t strike to kill.
But now, with such prohibitions broken, their protections were gone as well, and naturally, no one dared to provoke him.
Jiang Wenfu looked at the Death Demon Scythe in Xiao Zhan’s hands, murmuring to himself, "This kid, he has indeed made a completely different choice from Ye Wuming."
...
On the martial arts platform.
Xiao Zhan, looking at the dead student, appeared extremely indifferent on the surface, yet there was a hint of helplessness in his heart.
"Youlong, are you sure that killing him won’t cause us any trouble?"
In fact, Xiao Zhan didn’t want to kill him; his intention was to severely injure or perhaps break an arm or leg.
But as he made his move, Ye Youlong insisted on killing him, and in the crudest, most shocking manner at that!
In Ye Youlong’s view,
To spare others is to pave the way for your own demise!
Better than letting those guys feel lucky to just lose an arm or leg, to extinguish their thoughts entirely and obliterate their courage to cause trouble!
Xiao Zhan agreed with her rationale, and this certainly was the best way to break the cycle of the gauntlet.
However, what concerned him was the situation they would face after the killing.
"Don’t worry, this academy is even more unfair than we imagined," came Ye Youlong’s reassuring words.
If she dared to kill, it was not on impulse!
The White Emperor Spirit Academy is a place that values strength; with strength comes privileges, and she believed the strength they demonstrated would earn them such privileges.
Of course, even without any privileges, Ye Youlong was not afraid.
With the Ye Family’s rights and position, killing someone within the White Emperor Spirit Academy truly wouldn’t have consequences!
Xiao Zhan was actually just inquiring and not genuinely worried about his situation.
After all, he knew all too well the towering influence of the Ye Family, one of the new world’s eight major families. For others, killing someone might have severe consequences.
But for them, it was a mere trifle.
At most, they would have to manage the emotions of the common people.
What he was truly worried about was whether he could still enter the Secret Realm.
This was where his opinion diverged from Ye Youlong’s.
"Xiao Zhan, you are suspected of intentional murder, having violated the academy’s prohibition. Please cooperate with our investigation," the captain of the Law Enforcement Team said, directly taking Xiao Zhan away.
Xiao Zhan didn’t speak, simply following him with utmost calm.
Zhao Long, watching from below, was almost bursting with glee.
Victorious without a fight!
More smoothly than anticipated.
