One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

Could Ikki, a grown man, possibly get lost? Bronya calmly sat down and continued playing the game.

"Bronya, don't you care? If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed at all."

Emmm...did you really not notice it? Bronya expressed her doubts. "No, Alice, are you sure?"

"I really didn't notice it at all." This time, Arisuin spoke in a much more serious tone.

If even the Shadow Killer couldn't be found, then... it could only be that guy, right? Bronya maintained a nonchalant tone, "Sometimes, luck is also a part of strength."

!!!

"What did Bronya say?" As an undercover agent, his intuition told him that he might have been exposed.

"Alice knows that, doesn't she?"

While speaking, Bronya did not even look up. "Bronya is not interested in these things. Just do what you want to do."

……

In the evening, Ikki finally came back by himself. According to him, he was thirsty during training, so he went to the vending machine to buy a drink... and the vending machine "happened" to be broken.

There is no choice but to go to a convenience store.

Along the way, he "happened" to see someone committing a crime, so he stopped it.

And then, by coincidence, he ran into Shinomiya Tenon, the always-absent representative from Jumen Academy.

"He said he was my fan and was quite enthusiastic, which delayed us a bit."

Ikki scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "Um... I'm sorry for making everyone worry about me."

"..."

Bronya simply listened, not commenting. But her mind was buzzing with activity: "Don't you think... there are too many 'coincidences'?"

interesting.

"The Goddess's Excessive Grace" is a power that almost makes your wishes come true...

——All the coincidences connected perfectly, fulfilling Shinomiya Tenon's wish and meeting Kurogane Ikki. Even no one noticed, thinking it was just a "coincidence."

……

The ten days of training passed quickly, and Bai Ye finally arrived at the end of the training.

In the slacking group, Bai Ye approached Arisuin, "How's it going? It's been so long, have you thought it through?"

"Bai Ye, I don't understand what you are saying."

After all, he is a professional, and Arisuin handled it perfectly. If you just look at the surface, you can't see any flaws at all.

"Akatsuki Academy, right?" But this time Bai Ye didn't bother with all that nonsense and went straight to the core of the matter.

!!!

After a moment of surprise, Arisuin's expression gradually turned cold, like an emotionless machine. "That's really surprising. Bai Ye, how did you know?"

"I never said my superpower was lightning." Bai Ye smiled mysteriously, letting the other party imagine it for himself. Superpowers are really a wonderful thing, and you can use them to describe anything.

"What are you going to do with me?"

As he spoke, a pair of daggers "Dark Hermit" quietly appeared in Arisuin's hands.

"Don't get me wrong, I have no intention of doing anything to you."

However, Bai Ye did not react and remained defenseless. "I saw it. At the last moment, you still chose to stand on our side..."

34. Akatsuki

Arisuin remained silent. A killer couldn't be easily shaken.

"You're not going to answer? Never mind. It has nothing to do with me anyway. You know what to choose."

Bai Ye didn't plan to say anything more and prepared to leave. He passed by Arisuin and said, "By the way, Shinomiya Tianyin's ability is destiny interference."

"If you're planning on backstabbing me, forget it. It's impossible to succeed."

After Bai Ye left, Arisuin stood alone in the shadows, as if the still button had been pressed and he remained silent for a long time.

……

Arisuin was born in Northern Europe, where the weather is cold all year round and it rarely gets warm.

At that time, he lived with several orphans. A kind nun took them in and they lived in a storage room of an old church. He and a girl named Yuli took care of them.

Although they lived in poverty, the two of them were employed by the gang as swordsmen and were able to barely cover their expenses.

Although they were not rich, for Arisuin, that was the happiest time in his memory.

But later... for various reasons, the upper class started to clean up the orphans for their own benefit.

Of course, those people couldn't do it themselves, so they commissioned the local gangs to clear out the orphans in the city by any means.

Arisuin's brothers and sisters, and even Yuri, all died in the gang's cleanup.

The strong prey on the weak, and the heartbroken Arisuin realized this. In his rage, he almost slaughtered the entire gang! However... the children he was protecting witnessed...

——He protected them, but also lost them.

Finally, Arisuin was spotted by the One-Armed Sword Saint, one of the "Twelve Apostles" who passed by and was taken away to be trained as a killer.

He donated the 100 million cash he earned from selling his body to the monastery and asked the nuns to take good care of his younger brothers and sisters. After that, he stepped into the dark world.

Carrying the name of "Shadow Killer", his hands are stained with too much blood and it is impossible to wash it off.

……

Before he knew it, it was already dark. Arisuin, with a heavy heart, pushed open the door of his dormitory and said, "Jade, I'm back."

"Welcome back, Alice."

Although Zhu Shizuku was not selected as a representative, she still served as a sparring partner to assist others in training, after all, the coach had run away.

In addition, even after coming here for training, Shizuku was still assigned to the same dormitory as Arisuin.

"Jade, if someone does something wrong to you one day, what are you going to do?"

Arisuin looked at Kurogane Shushizuku and felt as if he saw his younger brothers and sisters far away in a foreign country. If that incident hadn't happened, he wondered if they would have clung to him like Shushizuku clung to Ikki.

"What a sudden question."

Shushizuku didn't think much about it, just pondered for a moment, "Hmm... If Alice really did it, she must have had no choice, right?"

"I probably wouldn't say anything. I'd just beat Alice up, bring her back, and get along with her like normal."

"..."

Unlike her former brothers and sisters, Shizuku is more determined and tenacious. "Haha, you are worthy of being Shizuku~"

"I can't be happy about this kind of thing."

Although they haven't been together for a long time, Shizuku trusts Alice very much and truly regards her (?) as a sister.

The two were talking and laughing when the phone rang.

"Sorry, I have to answer the phone."

He flipped open his phone, his expression unchanged, though his eyes dimmed at an angle where Shizuku wasn't looking. After apologizing to Shizuku, he left the room and answered the call.

"Hehe, Shadow Killer, deal with one person..."

……

When the training ended, everyone said goodbye to the people from Jumen Academy, packed their luggage and boarded the bus back to the academy.

But... Bai Ye noticed that there seemed to be someone missing in the group?

"Why isn't Kagami here?"

"Ah, Kagami-chan was delayed for a bit. She asked someone to tell you not to worry."

Hearing this, Bai Ye also remembered... The original novel seemed to have this part? Kagami found out something secret, and was almost silenced by Arisuin!

Emmm… should be okay, right? Bai Ye walked over to Arisuin naturally, and put a hand on his shoulder. "What's so busy? When will she be back?"

"Maybe tomorrow."

Seeing Arisuin's direct answer, Bai Ye was relieved. Since he was able to return, his life must be safe.

Elsewhere, Bronya sat down near Ikki and Stella. "Stella, you're barely qualified right now. If you truly desire power, look within yourself."

???

Stella was completely confused. Since she didn't understand, she had to catch up and ask for clarification. She approached Bronya and said, "What is it? Bronya, please explain it clearly!"

"【Dragon】!"

Just one word, but it made Stella feel a strong throbbing! Bronya stood up and walked away, "Stella, remember, you might be more irritable at that time."

"Hey, what the hell are you talking about?"

"There are always some things that Stella has to experience on her own."

Bronya looked at Stella deeply, then calmed down and began to regulate her breathing, secretly adjusting her state.

Even Bai Ye was the same. He was usually aloof, but at this moment he closed his eyes and sat quietly in his seat.

……

There was laughter and joy along the way, but it came to an abrupt end at a certain moment. The bus slammed to a stop—not far away, thick smoke rose from the direction of Pojun Academy!

"What's going on? What happened?!"

As the student council president, Dongtang Daohua was the first to rush to the front row, looking through the car window at the college not far away.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Dongtang Daohua thought of something and suddenly turned back to look at Bai Ye, "You know what, right, Bai Ye."

"Don't worry, the academy should have been evacuated. I've already notified the chairman."

——Eyes that see through the future!

The previous misleading had finally paid off. Although Bai Ye couldn't explain the specific reason, Hei Nai, after weighing the pros and cons, still obeyed and even dropped his own business to come.

A bus crashed through the gate of the college and stopped suddenly in the half-destroyed college.

Afterwards, led by Toudou Touka, Stella, Ikki and others also quickly jumped out of the car.

It was a horrific scene, as if… no, it seemed like it had actually been through a major war! The paved roads of the academy were shattered, and classrooms and dormitories were still ablaze, billowing thick smoke.

“…, this is really too much!”

Just seeing this, everyone's hearts began to simmer with anger, but then...

"Oreki-sensei! Ayatsuji-san!"

"Yusato-chan!"

"..."

There were calls that were distinct and inconsistent, each with its own unique characteristics—and those responsible for the response, such as Oreki Yuri and Ayatsuji Ayase, were now lying in various places in the academy, which was almost reduced to ruins.

"Ladies and gentlemen~"

At this time, a frivolous and funny voice sounded, drawing everyone's attention.

A tall, thin man in a clown costume stood on the roof of the charred and shattered dormitory building and gave a comical salute. "Everyone from the Pojun Academy delegation, thank you for your hard work on this long journey back home~"

"Did you do it?"

Yihui's expression was stern, with Yin Iron appearing in his hand, and his whole body exuding a sharp aura.

Beside him, Shushizuku and Stella also walked forward tacitly, showing their inherent spiritual equipment to show their support for Ikki.

"Everyone, don't be anxious~"

The clown, still grinning, took a step forward and jumped down from the top floor of the dormitory. "To be precise, it's not just me."

Behind the clown, figures leaped from the rooftop. Indistinct threads stretched across the air, catching everyone before landing smoothly on the ground.

"A freshman from Tanlang Academy—"No Turn" Duoduo Liang Youyi!"
