Chapter 583: 205. Lingering Echos_2

"Leoz, what is your true purpose?"

"I’m here to attend school," Li Aozi answered truthfully.

"Attending school? Haha..."

Nastisha raised her head and looked at Li Aozi:

"A Zeta Rank Sovereign Pathway Ascender, disguised as a student, infiltrates my campus and has a massive brawl with another Zeta Rank Sovereign Pathway Ascender, and you tell me you’re here to attend school? Can you even believe that yourself?"

"I swear by Starry Abyss, I’m truly here to attend school. I want to learn magic, earn a degree, then find a good job and settle down,"

Li Aozi raised his fist and said solemnly:

"Lucite and Hobbs, they are my friends. If not for Canyue—"

"If not for Canyue, you would have continued hiding the fact that you’re an Arcane User, even a holder of Sequential Arcane Energy, until graduation," Nastisha said, looking at Li Aozi:

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

"Then," Nastisha casually flicked her fingers, revealing a card, "Lyle Sventler’s Card of Destiny, isn’t this your target?"

Li Aozi shook his head in confusion:

"I don’t know what that is."

"Is that so?" Nastisha stared at Li Aozi:

"Oathbound Spirit."

In the next moment, an array beneath Li Aozi lit up instantly, and a giant Arcane Spirit stood out. It opened its arms and firmly imprisoned Li Aozi within.

"Dean," Li Aozi said, "we should have no grievances between us, right? Canyue was also defeated with my help. Is this how the school treats a student who helped eliminate a terrorist and acted righteously?"

"Forgive me, child," Nastisha said, looking at him with regret:

"Sovereign Pathway Ascenders are not allowed inside, that is the rule."

A series of teleportation arrays lit up behind her, and well-dressed senior mages arrived at Trevela one after another, all shocked by Trevela’s devastation.

"Oh my god, what happened to our city—"

"Who is the perpetrator? My students, my school! I need to report to the highest council!"

"And the Night Butterfly Man’s army is here. Great, these sentimental pigs have invaded our backyard!"

Soon, their eyes fell on Li Aozi.

A mage immediately stormed over, questioning angrily. He glared at Li Aozi sternly, then turned to ask Nastisha:

"Is he the perpetrator?"

"No, the perpetrator is the interstellar felon, Canyue," Nastisha said coldly, "He was the one who dealt with the perpetrator."

"Him?" The mage glanced at Li Aozi. "Nicely done taking down the perpetrator. However, you are already Zeta Rank, yet still hiding in the school? Why hasn’t the recruitment office sent you to the battlefield?"

Li Aozi’s thoughts swirled, realizing that Nastisha deliberately concealed his identity as a Sovereign Pathway Ascender.

"I..."

Before Li Aozi could finish, the mage waved his hand dismissively:

"Forget it. Even if you lucked out this time, you can’t escape your future duties— Nastisha, why do you still have this little hero bound by the Oathbound Spirit? He is not a Night Butterfly Man."

"I have to confirm he isn’t brainwashed by idealism," Nastisha said matter-of-factly, "When I arrived on the ground, he was already in combat with Canyue. I helped him a bit, and he took down Canyue— But now, I’m not sure if his mind has been tainted by the Night Butterfly Man."

"Your caution is justified. We must be thorough," the mage sighed. "The minister is confronting a Kappa Rank Night Butterfly Man now. Baizhu Star is in complete chaos, and who knows how many Night Butterfly spies and informants are operating."

"Indeed."

Nastisha said, lifting Li Aozi with the Oathbound Spirit:

"I’ll take him back to Baizhu Interstellar University for testing. The care of the city’s residents and disaster relief is up to you."

The other mages nodded and quickly dispersed.

Seeing everyone leave, Nastisha snapped her fingers.

Ping—

The next moment, Li Aozi found himself in a pitch-black room. The Oathbound Spirit vanished, blue candle flames slowly illuminated the room, and Nastisha casually sat behind a desk. After casting several spells to create a shielding field, she turned to look at Li Aozi.

"I have brushed things off with the authorities for now,"

Nastisha said flatly,

"Don’t rush to thank me. You are not cleared of suspicion yet."

Li Aozi shrugged, noticed a chair behind him, and sat down casually:

"Dean, I am a good student. I’ve never caused trouble. For this incident, if the school doesn’t award me a scholarship, I would feel wronged."

"Really?" Nastisha tapped the desk, "Then explain to me, what is the Elemental Rampage?"

"Hmm?" Li Aozi blinked, "Elemental Rampage? What is that?"

"Don’t remember? How about the Mechanical World Society?"

Nastisha spoke as she casually opened an array to extract a vast amount of surveillance crystal recordings:

"I had the intelligent Mana Brain search, and found you quite interesting."

"In less than a month after enrolling, you failed 15 courses. But in just three months, not only did you make up the credits, but you also exceeded many other students."

"That was due to my deep reflection on my learning methods, researching new strategies, reviewing my past experiences, and with relentless effort, studying hard with the enthusiastic help of my teachers and classmates," Li Aozi answered righteously.
