Pojun Academy.
One of the schools in the Academy City funded by the Kurogane family. The students trained here are special warriors who can use their souls as weapons, inherent spirit equipment, magic power, and control supernatural powers, the Bladebreakers.
Although it declined due to the rise of Six Stars, this vast campus still demonstrates the heritage and strength of the Swordsman family that has existed from ancient times to the present.
“It feels like this place is much bigger than our school.”
Fang Zheng stood at the door and sighed slightly. Although the site of Haoling Academy was not bad, to put it bluntly, the Dawn Organization had no foundation and strength, so it could only build a school on an uninhabited island outside the Academy City. As a student, the transportation there was inconvenient. If you wanted to buy something on weekdays, you could only go to the canteen. If you wanted to buy something else or go to a shopping mall, you had to take the suspended train to the downtown area of the Academy City... just like Fang Zheng and Julie did before.
Well, it feels like students from a suburban country school entering the city.
“Here I come.”
Just as Fang Zheng was daydreaming, Julie beside him suddenly spoke. Then Fang Zheng collected his thoughts and looked forward. He saw a beautiful girl with long red hair and wearing the uniform of Pojun Academy walking towards him. She was none other than Stella Familion.
"Hello, Kasugano-kun, and Miss Julie...what are you doing here at Pojun Academy?"
Looking at the two curiously, Stella asked doubtfully. In order to thank the two, she went to Haoling Academy on purpose. At that time, Fang Zheng exchanged contact information with her and said that he would need her help with some small matters in the future. Just now, she received a call from Fang Zheng, saying that he and Julie were at the gate of Pojun Academy and hoped that she could help.
Stella didn't have a good impression of Fang Zheng, but after all, he was her benefactor, so she came anyway.
"Hello, Miss Stella. Actually, there's nothing special. We are here on behalf of Haoling Academy. We want to find your chairman... I wonder if you can lead the way?"
"Chairman?"
Stella was stunned for a moment, but nodded.
"No problem, come with me."
In this way, Stella led the two of them into Pojun Academy and walked towards the direction of the teaching building.
It must be said that compared to the newly established Haoling Academy, even though Pojun Academy has declined, there are still many students studying there. This is no wonder. Although the ideas and concepts held by the Black Iron Family are outdated in this era of the Star Vein Generation, there are still many people who like tradition.
It’s just like even after nine years of compulsory education has been implemented, there are still people who are willing to send their children to private schools. Most of them are pursuing a sentiment.
And no matter what, the sword-cutters have a long history, and their ancestors were once rich. Some people always think that this kind of fighting skills passed down from ancient times must be special. So the number of students in Pojun Academy is not small. At least along the way, the number of students that Fang Zheng and Julie have seen is already more than the total number of students in Haoling Academy.
In comparison, Haoling Academy has no tradition, no technology... Oh, it makes me sad just thinking about it. It is really like a private school sandwiched between traditional famous schools and modern key schools. Grandma and uncle don't love them, and even many times no one has heard of their names.
Along the way, Fang Zheng and Julie also attracted the curiosity and attention of many students. After all, they were wearing school uniforms that they had never seen before, and Fang Zheng and Julie were handsome and beautiful. In addition, the one who led them was the popular figure in the school, Princess Stella, so it was no wonder that everyone was so curious about this.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the door of the chairman's office.
"That's enough, Miss Stella."
Looking at the nameplate of the chairman's office in front of him, Fang Zheng smiled at Stella.
"The rest is our business."
"What? Are you going to throw me away after you've used me? I don't even know what you're doing in school."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Stella frowned in dissatisfaction.
"I want to go in with you too. I want to see what you want to do."
Having said that, Stella reached out and knocked on the door, then pushed the door open and walked in after getting permission.
In the chairman's office, a woman in a suit, smoking a cigarette and looking very capable was sitting behind a desk. When she saw Stella, she also smiled lightly.
"Isn't this Her Highness Stella? I didn't expect you to come to the Student Council Room... What can I do for you?"
"It's not that I'm in trouble."
Stella shook her head and turned sideways.
"They have something to do."
"oh?"
The woman was also quite surprised when she saw Fang Zheng and Julie walking in from behind Stella.
“You are…”
"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Kasugano, and I'm the student council president of Haoling Academy."
Fang Zheng was straightforward and got to the point. In fact, he was not lying, after all, Jiujiu Sakuya had already agreed to let him be the student council president.
Of course, there is not much sense of accomplishment for being the student union president in a school with only a few dozen students.
"Ah... Haoling Academy..."
Hearing this, the woman nodded slightly.
"Indeed, I heard from the Council that you are planning to have a mock battle with us, right?"
"That's right."
In response to the woman's words, Fang Zheng nodded, while the former lit a cigarette and frowned slightly.
It's really troublesome...
Looking at Fang Zheng and Julie in front of her, the chairman of Pojun Academy, Shinguji Kurono, felt a little unhappy. She had indeed received a call from the board of directors before, saying that Haoling Academy contacted them and wanted to have a mock battle.
As the chairman, Shinguji Kurono had heard about the things between the Kurogane family and the Dawn Organization. She also knew that Haoling Academy had developed a new technology called Dawn Star Pattern that simulated the inherent spiritual equipment of the swordsman. To be honest, as the chairman, she was unwilling to accept such troublesome things, but the board of directors had different ideas. According to the board of directors, they wanted to let the Dawn Organization know that imitations would never be as good as the original.
Therefore, the council agreed to the other party's request and let Shinguji Kurono arrange this mock battle.
It was obvious that they wanted to see the representatives of Haoling Academy being beaten to a pulp by the Swordsmen, and then use this as an excuse to mock the Dawn Organization for doing nothing... What a meaning of self-esteem.
Although this involves the feud between the Kurogane family and the Dawn Organization, Shinguji Kurono, as the chairman, is completely unwilling to accept this challenge. Although the Kurogane family is now in decline, at least a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it still has a certain reputation. The opponent is just an unknown academy that has just been established. Such a battle, winning is not a glory, and losing is definitely a major blow to the reputation of Pojun Academy.
Helpless... Because of the grudges between the Kurogane Family and the Dawn Organization, she couldn't interrupt.
But now…
I should have refused earlier!
Staring at Fang Zheng in front of her, Shinguji Kurono secretly groaned inwardly. The moment he walked in, she immediately realized that the boy in front of her was a rather scary character. Although he was smiling and seemed very polite, his eyes were very calm, as if he had an invisible pressure, so that even Shinguji Kurono tensed up the moment he was stared at.
It was as if he was not facing a student, but a terrifying beast.
Needless to say, the strength of this young man is definitely beyond everyone's expectations. Even Shinguji Kurono himself is not sure if he can beat him.
Is there anyone in my school who can defeat such a ferocious beast?
"I understand. I will arrange the candidates..."
"Chairman Shinguji, I'm sorry to interrupt you."
Just when Shinguji Kurono decided to randomly pick a few people to fight with the other side, so that even if she lost, she could save face, Fang Zheng suddenly spoke up and interrupted her.
"……What's up?"
"I wonder if I can specify my opponent?"
"Appointed?"
Hearing this, Shinguji Kurono frowned, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger.
"Who are you going to choose?"
"Of course..."
At this point, Fang Zheng's mouth curled up slightly.
"The strongest swordsman in your school is Toudou Touka, the 'Raikiri'."
“…”
The bad premonition came true.
If someone else loses, they can still use excuses such as carelessness, lack of strength, or lack of experience to shirk. But if Toudou Touka, the strongest person in Pojun Academy, is defeated, it will not be so simple. Originally, Shinguji Kurono wanted to be more aggressive and designate a candidate before the other party made any request. But now, since the other party has taken the initiative to propose a duel with Toudou Touka, there is no way for him to refuse.
"……I see."
Shinguji Kurono nodded, without any change in her expression.
"I'll arrange it."
At this point, she couldn't regret it even if she wanted to.
I can only hope that Dongtang Daohua can defeat this young man, otherwise...
Thinking of this, Shinguji Kurono got a headache. If things really developed to that point, the board of directors would definitely cause trouble for him... They would not reflect on whether it was their own stupidity that led to the current situation, but would just put the blame on themselves.
Never mind. There's no point thinking about this now.
Next, we can only wait and see what this young man is capable of.
