Abnormal Moon

Roy quickly turned around and looked behind him where the sound came from, while at the same time placing his hand on the storage pouch at his waist.

"what!"

The girl, who had been cautiously approaching from behind, was completely unprepared for his turn. Suddenly, she met Roy's gaze and instinctively gasped.

Roy frowned subtly.

Why are you sneaking up on me from behind like that?

"Um... wanna go for a drink together?"

The girl blinked in surprise, then gave Roy a polite smile and extended an invitation.

"..."

Roy paused for a moment.

Then he withdrew his hand from the storage cover and unzipped the zipper of his uniform.

What is this guy trying to do?!

Seeing his gesture as if he was about to take off his clothes, the girl with long brown hair immediately went on alert and quickly took a step back.

But Roy simply took a cell phone out of the inside pocket of his uniform and pointed it at the girl.

Then--

"Shh!"

Roy used the Shrinking Earth technique in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the brown-haired girl.

The girl had no idea he would suddenly attack. By the time she realized what was happening, it was too late; her hat was snatched off her head.

"Oops!"

The girl thought to herself, "I'm doomed," and hurriedly reached out to cover her face.

But Roy saw through her movements. The hand that had just grabbed the hat turned around and grabbed her wrist, preventing her from covering her face. Then, with his other hand, he held the phone up to her petite and cute face.

"I'm telling you beforehand, this phone was already recording video before you even arrived."

A strange look inexplicably appeared on Roy's face.

The girl who appeared in front of him had long brown hair, but her face was undoubtedly Sylvia's!

"You even recorded it?!"

Sylvia felt as if a string in her brain had snapped instantly, and she stared at Roy in disbelief.

Then, he suddenly unleashed his Stellar Power to break free of Roy's grasp, and charged at Roy with his claws outstretched, repeatedly grabbing at the phone in Roy's hand like eagle claws.

"Delete them! Delete everything from before!"

If the conversation and footage from just now were to get out, her acting career would be over!

sad!

The best course of action now is to delete the images from his phone!

"Don't grab it. What if it's accidentally sent to some media outlet? Wouldn't that be a waste?"

While dodging Sylvia's relentless attacks, Roy smiled and showed concern for her.

Sylvia's movement to snatch the phone faltered slightly, and she had no choice but to stop, her face filled with resentment.

"Can we talk quietly now?"

Roy didn't even glance at his phone before shoving it back into his pocket, and smiled at Sylvia.

"Why are you following me... But it seems the other side can't hold back any longer, looks like I need to take care of some personal matters first!"

Private matter?

the other side?

Sylvia was prepared to be extorted by Roy, but upon hearing this, she couldn't help but look a little confused.

What is he saying?

She looked at Roy with a puzzled expression, only to see Roy looking up at the rooftop of an abandoned building on some unknown side above him and shouting loudly.

"Come out, haven't you finished setting up your formation yet?"

Sylvia's expression shifted.

Could it be that someone is plotting against him?

"...It just finished."

At that moment, a lazy voice rang out from all around.

"As expected of the Star Martial Arts Festival champion, your eyesight is really good. I thought I hadn't been exposed, but I didn't expect you to see through me. You're quite capable!"

Sylvia took a few steps back to the side, distancing herself from Roy, and looked around warily, trying to find the source of the voice.

"Miss songstress, could you please move aside? You're not my target, and I don't want to drag you into this. Otherwise, I'll have more to do, and I hate trouble, even though the outcome won't change."

"What a boastful tone!"

Sylvia's eyes gradually sharpened.

"You mean, even if you take me down with you, it wouldn't be difficult for you?"

"Although there are some differences... that's generally correct."

The sounds coming from all around were still languid, as if they couldn't muster any energy.

But his words were full of arrogance. He didn't even take Sylvia, who was ranked second in the Poetry Wine ranking, seriously. He was so arrogant that he thought that even if he faced both of them at the same time, it wouldn't change the outcome. His arrogance was so ridiculous that it left people speechless.

"Sylvia, step back."

At this point, Roy finally spoke up, telling Sylvia to step back.

"This guy's got his eye on me, so I'll take care of him!"

"...If you say you don't need help, then forget it."

Sylvia paused for a moment, then let out a long sigh of relief, feeling both helpless and inexplicably relaxed, and stepped aside.

Chapter 260 Another One Who Breaks the Mold

This is clearly an assassination attempt targeting the Star Martial Festival champion. I don't know which academy arranged it, but it's most likely one of the three academies: Jielong, Leiwofu, or Alecant.

The Star Guide Hall wouldn't target its own champion. As for Quinnville, as the student council president, she hadn't heard any similar rumors. Moreover, the voice was clearly male. Even within the special agency, Yaoguang Star, there wasn't a single male. Saint Galedovas cherished its members, especially since the current student council president, Anast, took office, and hadn't attempted to assassinate any students from other schools.

So, is it the Boundary Dragon, Reeves, or Alcant?

Judging from their style, it's unlikely that it's Jielong. This academy is currently under the control of Wanyou Tianluo. Given Wanyou Tianluo's style of doing things, even if they have opinions about the champion, they should resolve them directly and not resort to assassination.

The Alecant is riddled with factions, much like it has many brains. If you were to treat it as a human being, it would be a complete schizophrenia, capable of any action.

Reiwolf is the most likely candidate. This school has done hundreds, if not thousands, of dirty things in secret. It is the school with the most crimes and the dirtiest place in all of the Six Flowers.

Sylvia stepped aside, the above thoughts flashing through her mind.

Given her personality, she should have helped without hesitation if she encountered such an assassination attempt, but since the person involved said it wasn't necessary, there was no need for her to meddle.

Moreover, she still has something on this guy, and although she doesn't want him to be assassinated, Sylvia, who is determined to get revenge, is happy to see him suffer.

but.

Sylvia looked at Roy, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes.

"This guy looks like he's really exhausted. Is he alright?"

If he were in perfect condition, assassinating a Star Martial Festival champion wouldn't be so easy.

But he clearly looks extremely exhausted.

This is probably one of the reasons why that assassin was so arrogant—he could take advantage of people in distress.

"Oh, thank you for your generosity!"

A figure emerged from the shadows between the buildings.

He was a man with short, light blond hair, who looked to be in his early twenties. He had a deep sleepiness on his face and seemed listless. Although he was a handsome man, he looked excessively lazy.

Moreover, even though he came to carry out an assassination, he showed no signs of tension whatsoever. Did he think he had the victory in the bag?

That's incredibly arrogant.

"What's your name?"

Roy glanced at the man, his expression gradually turning cold.

"I'm sorry, I can't disclose that information."

The blond man chuckled dismissively and placed his hand on the storage pouch at his waist.

Surprisingly, the storage pouch around his waist appeared to be a custom-made special edition, containing so many storage bags to hold the Blazing Armored Activator that it could wrap around his waist.

He took out an initiator from a storage bag, infused it with stellar power, and activated it, transforming it into a sword engraved with a goddess pattern.
