Chapter 7: Chain Golem Osha's Zeal
The walls of the auditorium are inlaid with gorgeous reliefs of eagles and swans, the pillars are carved with delicate vines and Luo Jinchun, and the huge dome is decorated with a mural depicting the goddess' creation of the world, which complements the soft light of the chandelier.
Vifiya pretended to listen attentively to the dean's speech on the stage, but she was actually thinking about how to go down to the cliff of the college alone to check the situation without alerting others.
When she came back to her senses, she heard the dean say, "Here, nobles and commoners have equal educational rights! You are only students..."
A sarcastic voice came from not far away from Vifiya: "It is a great blessing for the common people that the nobles can sit together with them."
The sound was not loud, but it was loud enough for the people around to hear. Some ordinary nobles who were already unhappy about living with commoners and not being able to bring servants to serve them had scorn on their faces. Some of the commoners had anger in their eyes, while others lowered their heads and said nothing.
But no one made a scene at the dinner, after all, the royal family was behind Alsayin College.
On the contrary, Osa clenched her fists and wanted to refute.
Vifiya gently took her hand and shook her head at her.
As great nobles, they are the least qualified to speak easily about so-called equality.
They have enjoyed preferential treatment since they were born; they have retained certain privileges since they entered this academy, and they have received much more than ordinary nobles.
Once they open their mouths, the false sky covering the academy will be torn apart.
Vifiya doesn't think fairness is bad, but in this era, true fairness means paying a huge price.
No one is willing to give up his own interests. Even if there is such a noble person, a snowflake on the snow will inevitably be swallowed.
Vifiya didn't think she was that great. She had already spent a lot of energy just to go home.
In an era, a person is just a grain of sand. Vifiya does not think that a grain of sand can do anything earth-shattering. In the end, it will be swept forward by the tide of the times.
Although the royal family took the initiative to improve the treatment of civilians and agreed with the dean's views, in the final analysis, the royal family still represented the top of the aristocracy.
Vifiya would not recklessly try to change an era, or some time traveler change the concept of the times, or make a major technological innovation and create a new era.
Vifiya only felt that she was insignificant in the face of the times.
For people living in this era, many ideas, once they take root, are difficult to dispel and may even be taken for granted.
How can it be so easy to change concepts and innovate technology?
Power and contradictions are intertwined. If they are not handled at the right time, they will eventually be destroyed in the waves.
Osa pursed her lips and said in a voice that only Vifiya could hear: "Even Ferik wouldn't say such a jerk."
After he finished speaking, the chandelier on the ceiling flickered, and then the sharp sound of a sharp object sliding on the ground came from somewhere.
The people who heard the sound gradually quieted down in surprise and looked for the source of the sound.
Before anyone could react, a magic circle appeared out of thin air in front of the ancient history table. After the light faded, a humanoid monster covered in chains appeared.
The monster's body was made up of iron chains of different thicknesses and shapes, some of which were extremely thin and sharp, while others were thick and heavy.
The surface of the iron chain was a mixture of dirt and dark red, which turned the chain black and even dripped red sticky liquid. The delicate white patterned floor was no longer clean, and a foul smell filled the air.
The student closest to the monster was trembling and dared not move, and could not help retching.
In the moment everyone was stunned, Vefia and Osa had already stood up. Vefia was about to pull Osa away from the monster, but Osa protected her behind her and shouted, "This is a chain golem! It can't run! Everyone move! Stay away from it!"
"Bang!" The chain smashed the long table to pieces, and the wreckage of the table and the things on the table flew everywhere.
Osa turned around and held Vifiya in her arms, but the wood chips from the table still cut a gash on Vifiya's arm.
The students affected were not seriously injured, but they could see clearly that the chain was full of hooks, thorns and blades, and it was a real monster.
Screams rang out one after another, and students ran in all directions. The dean and teachers tried their best to maintain order among the students and keep them away from the monsters.
The dean shouted to the Knights, but found that no one responded for a long time.
Some students who ran to the door also found in despair that the doors and windows were sealed, and people outside could not go out and people inside could not come in.
The students who discovered this naturally pointed the finger at the school administration, some even blurting out, "The doors and windows are all sealed! How are you going to solve this?! I'm the only son of the Macaulay family! My family won't let you off easily!"
The originally dry firewood was quickly ignited by sparks.
Stellan did not look for Vifia immediately. He saw the monster in the ancient history range. Seeing that her life was not in danger for the time being, he just observed her from a distance. He also wanted to know how his sister would react if she encountered such a thing.
Isidore stopped looking at Vifiya and was drowsy from listening to the dean's speech. When he noticed the fluctuation of magic power near the Knight Education Department, he did not even raise his eyes.
Until the student next to him grabbed his clothes and said, "Something's wrong! The magic power is fluctuating in the ancient history department!"
At the same time, Isidore quickly stood up. He found that the magic power turned and went straight towards ancient history.
His magic power was rapidly gathering. The student beside him hurriedly grabbed him with his other hand and whispered, "Don't do it!" Then he remembered that the girl he cared about was studying ancient history. After weighing the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do it! Trust me!"
A little later, the magic power slowed down a little, and he knew that Isidore had made a concession.
The chain golem kept smashing towards Osha. After Osha dodged several times with Vifiya, she found that the chains were only aimed at her vitals. After thinking about it, she pushed Vifiya out and kept her away from the chain golem.
Vifiya only felt as if she was blown by the wind when she was pushed out, and then landed steadily. When she looked back, she was already far away from Osa.
The student next to Isidore secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the magic power in his hand slowly dissipated.
Isidore now walked quickly towards Vifia, and the students beside him did not try to stop him.
There were bang! bang! bang sounds coming from the door. The Knights were trying to break it down.
Vifia never thought that Osa would protect her so much after knowing her for less than a day. In these 16 lives that kept repeating each other, such enthusiasm was rare.
No matter whether Osa was sincere or not, at least Osa pushed her out of danger for her safety.
Vifiya observed the chain golem carefully. She was just an ordinary person, and rushing forward would be tantamount to committing suicide. She tried to find a way to help Osha.
Some students in the auditorium were already holding items for self-defense, knives and forks for eating, or candlesticks on the table. Some of the stronger ones even lifted up the chairs.
While Osa was dodging, someone threw a knife at her. Osa flipped over and grabbed the knife, and in an instant the chain golem's meteor hammer attacked.
Osa's right arm was pulled hard.
“Zheng——”
The meteor hammer and the sword collided with a sharp sound. The knight education teacher found the sword and stood in front of the chain golem, with veins bulging on the hand holding the sword.
The floor where she had been was broken.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
A reproachful voice came from the crowd: "Why did you throw it out at that time! She almost got hit!"
The owner of the knife wanted to cry: "I just wanted her to get a weapon to protect herself. I didn't know it would be like this!"
Osa looked up and saw Ferik standing in front of her, staring intently at the chain golem in front of him: "I promised to take care of you. If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain to Mom and Dad!"
Osha stopped arguing with him and looked at the chain golem, but was surprised to find that the chain golem did not move.
Everyone still didn't dare to let their guard down, as light suddenly appeared where the chain golem was standing.
At the same time, a magic circle identical to the chain golem unfolded under Vifiya's feet. Vifiya struggled to take a step, but her legs seemed to be sucked in and she couldn't move.
Several students around Vifiya took a few steps back uncontrollably and exclaimed.
Many people looked in her direction. Osha, who was behind Ferik, opened her eyes wide, stood up suddenly and ran towards her.
Stellan, who thought Vifia was safe, didn't expect things to develop to this point. Although he was wondering whether getting close to her would lead to unexpected steps, he had already taken a step forward.
Everything happened in a flash.
Before Vifia fell into darkness, she saw Isidore suddenly appear in front of her and grab her hand.
