Huh? There's a magic school here.

Seeing the two embracing so tenderly, Andres could only helplessly complain in his heart. Who am I? Why am I here? What am I supposed to do? Why am I being forced to eat this dog food, especially this love story between a human and a ghost?

However, Andres's display of affection didn't last long, as Jenner and Gary quickly composed themselves. Despite being separated by death, they were still able to stay by each other's side; whether this is considered fortunate or unfortunate is hard to say.

Just as the two were about to leave, Andres called them back.

“Jenna, Gary! If you’re not in a hurry, perhaps I can tell you a story.”

Gary Hodgson and Jenna Garcia were a bit bewildered. The young couple was grieving, yet their own principal wanted them to stay and listen to a story. They didn't want to, but could they refuse? It was like a low-level civil servant suddenly being called into the governor's office and told a joke—they wanted to refuse, but dared not.

So the two abandoned their plans to leave and returned to their seats, wanting to hear what Andres had to say.

“I’m glad you’re willing to listen to this story. In fact, I heard it from a myth in the Eastern Dragon Kingdom.”

"The story goes that in ancient times in the Dragon Kingdom, there was a place called Chen Tang Pass. The general guarding the city there had a group of adorable children. One of the children was exceptionally gifted and became the student of a powerful wizard, whom you could understand as a sorcerer. One day, while playing at the seaside, this child encountered a newly grown dragon. The child, with his immense talent, killed the dragon. However, the dragon's father soon learned of this and found the general. He gave the general two choices: one was to exchange his life for the child's, and the other was for the dragon to slaughter all the people of Chen Tang Pass. In the end, for the sake of all the people of Chen Tang Pass, the general had his son commit suicide to atone for his sins!"

Gary Hodgson and Jenna Garcia looked at each other, not quite understanding why Andres was telling them such a story.

"Oh, please be patient, my story isn't finished yet!"

"But isn't the principal already dead?"

"Yes, but he had a good teacher! This teacher used some magical materials to help the child reshape his body, and in the end, the child's soul came back to life through this body."

"What a lucky guy!"

Gary's tone was tinged with envy, and Jenna, noticing her husband's mood, quickly offered words of comfort.

"Gary, don't be sad! I'm already happy just to have you by my side."

Seeing that the young couple was about to start showing off their affection again and didn't understand what he meant at all, Andres had to quickly remind them.

“Gary Hodgson, Jenna Garcia, what did you learn from this story?”

Gary Hodgson and Jenna Garcia gave somewhat uncertain answers.

"If one's magic power were strong enough, could one reverse life and death?"

"The importance of magic?"

Andres covered his forehead and complained with a hint of helplessness.

"Perhaps the Sorting Hat isn't always entirely correct! How did it end up assigning you two to Ravenclaw!"

Gary Hodgson and Jenna Garcia were immediately hit with a barrage of insults; Principal Andres's words were somewhat sarcastic! Andres thought the young couple might be too heartbroken today, and their brains might not be working properly, having wasted his story.

"Ahem, I'm telling you this story to show you that you also have a good teacher!"

Upon hearing Andres's words, Jenna immediately looked up, her gaze burning as she looked at Andres.

"Principal Andres, you mean you can save Gary's life?"

"No, no one can ever reverse life and death! The child in this story simply entered a new body that he could control from a soul state. As for this body, it is obvious that it is not easy to create. Although he will still bleed and still have various senses, it is undeniable that it is just a new body and that the soul must be completely in sync with it."

Upon hearing this, Jenner immediately knelt down, her words filled with sincerity.

"Principal, I'm willing to give anything to save my husband! Please, please help him!"

Gary Hodgson also knelt down, saying it was a lie to say he didn't want to be resurrected—who wants to die? But for Gary, it was more about wanting to be by his wife's side. Andres waved his hand, and both Jenna and Gary were helped up. Andres turned around and took a piece of Soul-Nourishing Wood from a shelf behind him, handing the wooden plaque-like object to Jenna.

"Let Gary's soul reside in this sign temporarily. I need to prepare the materials for Gary's new body for a while. During this time, Gary needs to strengthen or nourish his soul so that he can better integrate with the new body! I will send someone to notify you when the materials are ready."

"Thank you, thank you Principal Andres!"

After saying that, the two were about to turn and leave when Andres called them back again.

“Oh, right! Gary Hodgson, Jenna Garcia, remember to keep this a secret. Gary was able to do this because of a strong obsession and a stroke of luck. I don’t want anyone to misunderstand anything, as that would be very troubling for me.”

"We will keep it confidential, you can rest assured about campus recruitment."

Jenna arrived with tears in her eyes, but left with a beaming smile. Andres could have immediately obtained enough materials from the system to help Gary create a body, but he didn't want to. He couldn't convey to the outside world that it was easy, as that would lead many to have inappropriate thoughts. The human heart is the most unpredictable and easily tested.

The human world is in turmoil, and the orc empire on the continent of Karen is also embroiled in constant conflict.

"What? The front lines have failed? How's Samuro? Is he alright?"

Kurt Elliott's tone was slightly anxious, not for the losses of his own troops. Those losses were acceptable; the Orcish Empire was never short of soldiers. His concern was for Samuro's safety. Samuro was the Orcish Empire's Sword Saint, his reputation immense. If anything happened to Samuro, the impact on the Orcish Empire would be enormous.

Fortunately, his men told him that Samuro was alright and alive. This relieved Kurt Elliott, the king of the orc empire, as there had been no good news since he learned that the portal was about to reopen.

The best news for it right now is the message just delivered by the High Priest: the spatial gate has been completely stabilized. The days of being able to only take hits without being able to fight back are finally over. It's time to teach those humans on the other side a lesson.
