I was expelled from school at the beginning, but luckily I am the king of endurance.

But soon, as the armored vehicle shook, she began to feel weak all over, and in a trance she seemed to hear the sound of gas leakage.

[not good...]

Realizing that something was wrong, Hoshino fell down before he could kick away.

The robot soldier in the front row of the armored vehicle smiled disdainfully at Hoshino lying on the ground in the surveillance footage. In order to deal with her, the director specifically instructed to use anesthetics that could knock out an elephant.

"No! Hoshino!"

The only sound the teacher could hear through the headphones was the "bang" sound of Hoshino falling to the ground. He immediately realized that his assumptions seemed to be a little off.

[Why did they stun Hoshino? Isn't their target Abydos?]

Because of his mistake, the student was in danger. Even though the teacher was a little panicked, the most important thing now was to find Hoshino.

I turned on the tablet, and luckily the headphones were still working, and the tablet could display Xingye's location in real time.

"Everyone, the plan has gone awry. The most urgent thing now is to rescue Xingye."

Without the teacher saying anything, Bai Zi had already put on his backpack and was ready to go.

But Ya, who had been on patrol, interrupted the actions of the Abydos people through the headphones.

"Teacher! We've discovered a large number of Caesar's armed forces pouring into the city!"

Yes, Caesar and his men took action. After Hoshino signed the contract, the directors of the Caesar Group, who had been unable to contain themselves, issued the order to attack. The Caesar soldiers, who had been prepared several years ago, immediately poured out from various military camps in the suburbs of the Abydos Desert and launched an attack on Abydos according to the attack direction they had planned long ago.

“I just built the road!”

Eri watched as the tank with the Caesar logo blew up the newly paved road surface and several citizens who had no time to escape with one shot.

"The order to evacuate the self-governing area has been issued. Anyone remaining will be treated as an enemy."

The leading Caesar soldier said indifferently, and then pulled the trigger at another citizen not far away.

"This...this is..."

Mei was half leaning against a tree. In her sight, countless mechanical soldiers accompanied by tanks were moving along the road towards the Abydos campus. It would be impossible for her and Eri to stop them alone.

"Hahahahaha! Finally... the last piece of the puzzle is completed. The last student union member withdrew from Abydos, so Abydos disappeared! Next, it will be our Caesar's turn to annex Abydos!" Among the mechanical army, there was a guy who looked different from the other robots. Judging from his clothes, he was probably the person in charge of the Caesar Group in this area.

"Eri..."

"Captain Xiaoya, are you crazy? Are you going to fight against the main force of Caesar PMC?!"

Before Mei could finish her words, Eri interrupted her. The number of Caesar's PMC troops was much larger than the previous Disciplinary Committee, and they also had illegal weapons like tanks. Eri now just wanted to turn around and run away. After all, she knew the quality of the citizens in Caesar's PMC troops. If she stayed and resisted, she might really die.

"I'm not crazy, Eri, evacuate the citizens and retreat." Mei sighed. No matter what, she couldn't bear to see these friendly citizens of Abydos being bullied by Caesar.

"...Okay, okay, you are the captain, you have the final say." Eri finally couldn't bear to leave Mei alone. She swore that this was the last time she would go crazy with Mei.

Fortunately, they are not fighting alone.

"Mei, Eri, after evacuating the citizens, immediately retreat back to the Abydos campus. Shiroko and Serika will be meeting you."

It was the teacher. At this critical moment, the teacher made a quick decision. Ayane, Nomiya, Kanna and Futaba will strengthen the defense of Abydos, while Serika and Shirako will assist Mei in the evacuation work.

However, even if everyone is fighting their best, the teacher is pessimistic about whether they can withstand Caesar's attack.

The Story of Abydos: Chapter 28: The consequences of not paying attention to the news

"Hit confirmed."

On the rooftop of the Abydos campus, Huannai pulled the bolt to eject the shell.

This was the third Caesar scout she had killed. Seeing the processor in the head of the Caesar robot being melted by the high temperature caused by the bullet, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure in her heart.

It was like the feeling when she caught a big fish while fishing. Maybe that was why she chose a sniper rifle as her weapon.

Fishing requires bait, and now, Abydos is the bait, the sniper rifle in her hand is the fishing rod, and the Caesar soldiers attracted by the bait... are her catch.

"Hmm? What's that?" Through the sniper scope, Kanna saw many animal citizens running towards the Abydos campus in the distance. "Teacher, the captain and the others are back."

"Well, Ayane, open the school gate and let the citizens in."

The restored school gate of Abydos slowly opened, and the citizens entered the campus in an orderly manner under the organization of Ya and Baizi.

This is the last line of defense of Abydos. Once it is breached, Abydos will truly cease to exist.

Caesar PMC's troops quickly surrounded the Abydos campus. The guy who was completely different from the other robots walked to the front of the school gate. He was not afraid that Abydos would attack him, so he just stood there.

"I'm a director of the Caesar Group, your creditor. Now that the last member of Abydos' student union has withdrawn, the Abydos Student Union no longer exists, and you are nothing." Its speakers were different from those of ordinary Caesar soldiers. They used the most advanced components, completely eliminating any noise, and everyone on campus could hear its voice. "Without official societies, an official student union, or a self-governing district, Abydos cannot exist independently as part of the United Cities. Therefore, as the owner of this self-governing district, we, the Caesar Group, will take over the academy... Oh, and by the way, let's call the new academy 'Caesar Private Vocational Training College'."

"Are you done?" The teacher's voice came from the loudspeakers that had not been used in the school for many years. Because Ayane had been maintaining these devices, they were still working properly.

"Oh, it's you?"

Director Caesar was stunned by the unfamiliar voice over the loudspeaker. Didn't he remember the intelligence report that a first-year student was handling Abydos' affairs? Convenience House 68 had completely severed contact with him and hadn't reported any news about the teacher, so Director Caesar had no idea such a person existed in Abydos.

"I'm a teacher from Xialai, and I'm also an advisor to the Abydos School Abolition Countermeasures Committee, the administrative body of the Abydos Autonomous District." The teacher's tone unconsciously took on a hint of sarcasm. Previously, they had been led by the nose by the Caesar Group, and now it was finally their turn to fight back. "Your Excellency doesn't seem to pay much attention to the news. In fact, in the latest list of federal societies released at midnight today, the Countermeasures Committee is already officially recognized as the official administrative body of Abydos.

"Then, for the Caesars Group that is now illegally attacking legitimate institutions, I have the right to hold the Federal Student Union accountable."

The bud guarding the school gate saw that the director seemed to be a little panicked. Its processor connected to the Kivotos network was browsing the latest news, and soon it confirmed the teacher's words on the official website of the Federal Student Union.

It was true. This teacher, who had taken it by surprise, had somehow managed to register the Countermeasures Committee, and even their partners in the Federal Student Union didn't have time to inform them of the news.

In this way, attacking the Abydos campus now is a completely bad move. All my years of planning... have been destroyed just like that. It is just a good thing for that guy in the black service. I have gained nothing by cooperating with him, but I have been used as a pawn by him for nothing.

"Hmph! Let's retreat!"

As glorious as they were when they arrived, now they're just as clownish. What was once a sure thing has been thwarted by the teacher's intervention, but so what? Xia Lai and the teacher... Director Caesar knows that this is an extraordinary organization established by the president of the Federal Student Union. This organization is not something a small director can afford to offend.

"Don't forget, Abydos still has over 40 million in debt to pay!"

As the last team withdrew, Director Caesar left the city with the team after saying this.

Ya relaxed. She had thought there would be a fierce battle, but she didn't expect that the people from Caesar PMC were really scared away by the teacher.

After evacuating the citizens who came for refuge, Mei returned to the activity room. Although the attack was resolved safely, Mei did not see a smile on the teacher's face.

Yes, Hoshino's current safety is still unclear, and the debt problem has not been resolved. What worries the teacher even more is that Director Caesar's behavior seems to be simply to occupy Abydos.

But why did they make Hoshino unconscious? What was Caesars Group's purpose in doing this?

[wrong. ]

The teacher recovered. He had assumed the Black Servant was also part of the Caesars Group, which had led him into a misunderstanding. He always assumed that the Caesars Group was going to do something to Hoshino. But what if the Black Servant had never been part of the Caesars Group from the beginning? The Caesars Group wanted Abydos, while the Black Servant's target was Hoshino.

That makes sense.

"No, we have to rescue Hoshino immediately. She is in danger now." The teacher stood up with the help of the table.

"Are we the only ones going to attack the Caesar PMC military base without any assistance?" Ya asked. If Hoshino hadn't been knocked unconscious before, it would have been fine. Under the teacher's command, they could easily destroy the entire military base in the chaos. But now... think about it, without Hoshino and her magical shield, if Ya only relied on herself to attract firepower, Ya felt that she would not be able to hold out for long under so many tank guns.

As for Eri, she would definitely not go. Logically speaking, she had no relationship with Hoshino, so Eri could simply refuse the teacher's request. At worst, she could just quit Xia Lai.

Morale on this side began to drop before the fight even started, but the teacher would not give up on any student, especially one who was in trouble because of him.

"Well, it's obviously unrealistic to rely on the power we have here, but I have an idea."

The teacher said this. Since Xia Lai's power is almost unlimited, there must be many people in such an organization who want to establish good relations with him. This invisible resource must be utilized well.

While the teacher was thinking about finding reinforcements, his tablet vibrated.

Opening her tablet, Alona thoughtfully helped the teacher open the text messaging app. An unread message suddenly appeared in front of the teacher. The sender's name was...

"Black clothes?"

The Story of Abydos: Chapter 29 The Weapon of Criticism Is No Substitute for the Criticism of Weapons

According to the address provided in the text message, the teacher stood in front of the office building where Hoshino was having a secret meeting with Heifu. Of course, in order to prevent Heifu from doing anything dirty, he brought Mei and Kanna with him.

If anything unexpected happens, Kanna, who is lying on the opposite rooftop, will shoot first, while Mei can use her specialty of roaring and rushing towards xxx.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, teacher... Oh? Is there another guest?"

As soon as I walked into Heifu's office, Heifu's voice rang out, and Ya saw the face of this black-braised egg for the first time.

A pure white hole served as an eye, with cracks all around it and white light shining through it. A large arc-shaped crack served as a mouth. Overall, he didn't look like a good person, and of course, he didn't look like a human at all.

"Interesting, really interesting, the originally ordinary mystery is actually undergoing a transformation..."

Ya looked at Heifu, who was also looking at her, but Ya didn't quite understand what Heifu was saying. A mysterious transformation? What did that mean? Was he talking about her aura? Unfortunately, even in the mirror, she saw that her aura was ordinary.

"Just say it straight. I'm warning you not to set your sights on my students." The teacher spoke coldly, interrupting Heifu's next words.

"...I'm sorry, teacher. Unfortunately, I'm not here for research today." Heifu held his tie with his left hand. "I've wanted to talk to you in person for a long time."

Seeing the rude guy sitting on the boss chair, Ya subconsciously gripped her submachine gun tightly. Although the rude guy didn't have any weapons, he always gave her a very dangerous feeling.

"We know your identity... an incomprehensible being summoned by the president of the Federation Student Union, the owner of the mysterious relic, and Xia Lai's teacher at the Federation Investigation Agency.

"Some people seem to underestimate you, but we are different. First, let me be clear..."

"Stop talking nonsense. Who are you? What are you going to do to Xingye?!"

The teacher slammed the table and interrupted Heifu's words. It was the first time that Mei saw this adult angry. If it wasn't his acting skills, then it could only be said that Hoshino's incident this time really touched his reverse scale.

Looking at the teacher's posture, he was about to pull out his self-defense pistol and point it at the man in black.

"Hehe... Don't get excited, teacher. We don't want to be your enemy. Oh, I don't think I introduced myself yet. I'm from outside Kivotos just like you... but from a different realm.

"[Shumikai], you can call us that. As for me, you can continue to call me Heifu, I like this name.

"We are... observers, explorers, and researchers."

Ya saw that the teacher seemed to be unable to restrain himself and was about to draw his gun, but the black-braised egg in front of him continued his long-winded nonsense.

"Like you, we are also 'incomprehensible'. Hmm... just for the sake of asking, would you consider collaborating with us?"

Finally, the black suit's voice stopped. It sat on the chair with its arms crossed, waiting for the teacher's response. The teacher's response was...

"Stop dithering. Next, I'll ask you a question and you answer it."

The teacher pulled out the pistol from the holster at her waist, turned off the safety and pointed it at the forehead of the man in black. Ya also cooperated and raised the submachine gun. If this black-brined egg made any unusual movements, she wouldn't mind having a few more holes on its body emitting white light.

"First, where did you take Xingye?"

"Why? Aren't you interested in truth and mystery? Why?"

"boom!"

The teacher fired without mercy. Of course, he pressed the muzzle of the gun down beforehand, and the bullet hit the man in black's hand.

"Uh..."

"I've already told you, cut the crap. I ask, you answer."

Ya saw that the palm of Heifu that was pierced by the bullet was emitting white light, but it healed quickly, only the black mist emitted from it became thinner.

"Teacher... you really surprised me." The teacher put the muzzle of the gun against its head again. Although it was unknown whether its black shell could sense the residual heat of the gun, the black suit quickly changed its words, "Ms. Hoshino is in a laboratory in the center of the PMC base in the Abydos Desert."

"Very good, my patience is limited. Second, what are you going to do to Xingye?"

The address given by Heifu was consistent with the location on the tablet. The teacher nodded with satisfaction. Wouldn’t he have avoided being shot if he had done this earlier?

"Teacher, you should know our purpose: to seek the truth. Right now, the ultimate mystery of Kivotos is before us. We will study it, analyze it, and understand it. Just imagine, when the other side of this mystery—fear—is directly inflicted upon living students, what interesting things will happen? This intriguing experiment is what we truly desire to observe."

"boom!"

This time it was not the teacher who fired the gun, but Ya. Heifu said so much, it was nothing more than a human experiment. Its twisted attitude of craving for the so-called "truth" without any bottom line really made Ya sick. In the end, she couldn't help but pulled the trigger.

"Uh..."

This time, the black mist on Heifu was thinner, and it seemed that it would take more energy to make up for the damage caused to Ya.

The teacher did not blame Ya. He was indeed disgusted by Heifu's behavior. Even if Ya didn't shoot, he would have shot.

The teacher put away his gun. He had asked all the questions he wanted to ask. As for where the black suit came from, what their purpose was, or whether they wanted to cooperate with him, the teacher was not interested in any of these. He only cared about his students.

"Teacher, as long as you are willing to give up Xingye, we will help you preserve Abydos. We will also help you with the Caesar Group. What do you think?"

"My gun will tell you how."

"Do you really want to be our enemy? What will you use to fight? With this mysterious person who has undergone a transformation?"

The scene seemed to become tense again. The man in black maintained his previous posture without changing. Even though his breath was weaker than before, he did not look afraid at all.

The teacher listened to the man in black's question and took out a golden card from the inside pocket of his suit.
