The outskirts of Pandmore at night.

A long river stretches not far outside the city, nourishing this peaceful and fertile land. It is said that five hundred years ago, when humans were fighting each other, this land once sheltered many people who were stranded here because of the war.

And now, that prosperous city that drifted from another world also provided a temporary resting place for many travelers.

"……Time is up."

Under the cold night sky, Jiang Yue stood alone on the bank of the long river, waiting for the person she didn't want to see.

Today she was still dressed in the knight's dress style - and beside her, there was only a suitcase that looked heavy and a long-handled spear with an obvious mechanical structure.

At this moment, she looked more like a traveler who was about to go on a long journey.

"Sorry, I'm late..."

After she waited for a long time, a young man finally hurried over from the shadows of the night.

That man was, of course, Al Mo—and he seemed to have dressed up for this late-night encounter.

“I was almost seen when I came out, but I was careful to avoid everyone!”

"That certainly seems to be the case."

In order to verify Al Mo's statement, Jiang Yue first closed her eyes and sensed the surrounding environment.

After confirming that there was no one else nearby, she opened her eyes again and gave the young boy a charming smile.

"Since you've kept your promise, let's start the class now."

"Yes! But... Mr. Zi, why did you ask me to come to a place like this?"

"Oh, let me ask you a few questions first."

As if thinking that he had gained Jiang Yue's trust, Al Mo took two steps closer very naturally - and this time, his steps were not blocked by the barrier.

"Student Al Mo, why do you desire to have talent and power?"

"To protect you! And those who have no power, to protect everyone from being harmed by despicable people!"

"If you don't want to tell the truth, then this class can't continue."

Jiang Yue would certainly not be fooled by those high-sounding words, so she kept smiling and made a stop gesture to Al Mo.

After realizing that he was too eager for quick success, Al Mo quickly adjusted his mindset and adopted a respectful attitude.

"Teacher Zi, if you insist that I tell the truth... then please don't laugh at me."

"Go ahead, it's okay."

“…I believe that only those who have power are qualified to get everything they want.”

Although Al Mo's tone was very cautious, his eyes looking towards Jiang Yue were already overflowing with strong desire.

“Only those who possess talent and strength can win in the competition with others. And the winner is entitled to power, wealth… and love.”

After realizing that Jiang Yue didn't have any special reaction, Al Mo took another step forward and stood in a position where he could almost reach out and touch the other person.

"You should have understood... No, since you chose me, I guess you and I had the same idea from the beginning."

After saying this, Al Mo raised his hand and stretched it towards Jiang Yue's still smiling face.

"As long as you can be with me, you will definitely be happy--"

However, just as his fingers were about to touch Jiang Yue, his body suddenly fell into a state of paralysis. He was completely unable to move or make any sound.

The beautiful and gentle female teacher in front of him suddenly had a pair of glowing horns like tree branches appearing on her head.

And the pair of human eyes also changed into blood-red vertical pupils.

"...Ah, what a disgusting desire."

That gentle smile instantly turned into a mocking sneer, and that charming and seductive face turned into a cruel and terrifying look.

——Al Mo, who was unable to move with his hand stretched out, realized that the teacher standing in front of him was not a human being at all.

"Because you have power and talent, you think you are a hero who can do whatever you want? Haha... I have seen many fools like you five hundred years ago."

While loudly laughing at the foolish person who dared to touch him, the evil dragon who looked like a human picked up the spear beside him.

And when the sharp blade reflecting the starlight turned casually in Jiangyue's hand, an arm spurting blood flew up in front of her eyes, drawing a graceful arc in the air.

—She cut off Al Mo’s arm.

……

"Heh... it hurts, right? But this kind of pain is nothing compared to what you did before."

In a blink of an eye, the flashing tip of the gun pointed downward without warning, piercing and shattering one of Al Mo's knees.

"Oh, I'm so sorry... But you're the protagonist after all, so you should be able to tolerate this little thing, right?"

At this moment, the numbness that swept through Al Mo's body suddenly disappeared.

The pain of losing his arm and shattering his knee instantly rushed into his brain, causing him to scream miserably... and his strong survival instinct made him lose his balance and fall to the ground, and he began to desperately crawl in a farther direction.

“Ah ...

"You killed my disciples, tortured my lover, and even wanted to take me for yourself... Hehe, do you really think that you are the protagonist of this story?"

The laughter, half sad and half crazy, made Al Mo, whose mind was already controlled by pain and fear, fall into even greater frenzy.

Why was I hurt by that teacher? I clearly have a mutual understanding with her!

Who is the disciple she is talking about, and who is the lover?

No... Could it be that she was in the same group with those two people before?

“Damn it—I am! I am—”

“Scream! That’s right, just scream! I will make you pay back a hundredfold for the pain they have endured!”

At this moment, a huge lightning spear quietly appeared in Jiangyue's left hand - the violently flowing electricity even attracted the surrounding dust.

...Am I really going to die here? No! I am the lucky protagonist!

Although Al Mo, who had lost a hand and a foot, looked terrified, his body was still struggling to survive.

Until now, he still believes that he can survive - because he has always been a lucky man.

Therefore, as long as you hold on a little longer... your destiny will definitely change!

"Help...help me!"

……

——Perhaps, God really heard Al Mo’s prayers.

When the miserable howl finally came out of his mouth, his fate seemed to have really changed.

"Wow, it seems we came at the wrong time, sister."

It was as if they were reinforcements sent by God - two mysterious black shadows that came from nowhere suddenly and silently landed in front of Al Mo, separating him from the human-shaped evil dragon.

When Jiang Yue, who was holding the huge lightning spear tightly, saw this unexpected visitor, he immediately became alert and took a fighting stance.

"No, isn't this just perfect... Since someone is already helping us finish the work, let's just go back."

——However, the flow of fate finally chose the right end.

"That won't do... Hey, little girl over there, if you're planning on crushing this bug too, then take one of us with you."

However, looking at the angry and frenzied dragon, the cruel and ferocious lioness suddenly revealed a gentle and kind smile.

"I'm very good at making my prey experience despair and pain without dying - what do you think?"
