Ain splashed all the potions in his hands around him, filling the entire floor with a mysterious blue-green gas.
Think you're the only ones who can play dirty tricks?
Think you're the only ones who can plot against others?
Think you're the only ones allowed to mess with the game's plot?
I can do it too!
As long as I "kill" Erylin right now and spread the news that "Erylin died in a terrorist attack," let's see what you can do then!
Ain decided to solve the problem at its root.
If I directly remove the most critical piece from the chessboard, how are you going to play?
Checkmate?
Sorry, we don't have a king on our side.
Untargetable. Mad yet?
You want to turn my Erylin into that walking corpse of a puppet in Act Three?
Screw you!
Although Ain's voice had changed slightly due to the mask, Emil still found it familiar.
Soon, his gaze fell on Ain's signature short, silver-gray hair.
Estimating the other party's height, Emil said subconsciously, “Ain?”
“What Ain?! Are you still looking for a savior when death is at your doorstep? How ridiculous!”
Ain spoke wildly, and several fiery-red magic circles materialized around his outstretched right hand.
“Wait, no wand? And you still claim you're not Ain?!”
Ain froze for a moment, then pretentiously pulled a small wand from his waist.
“Oh, is that so?”
Watching the awkward way the guy held the wand, Emil was practically laughing from anger.
What kind of crazy fit is this guy throwing?
“Senior Emil, leave it to us!”
Several students blocked the way in front of Emil, identical smiles creeping onto their faces.
“If we catch a dangerous element like this, we should get quite a few academic credits, right?”
“And in such an important place like a hospital, no less!”
“That guy is mine!”
“Hey, wait! How come you guys are never this proactive normally...”
At this moment, Ain didn't even look like an evil figure in their eyes.
He was a walking first-class merit!
“We're on the second floor of the lobby. Everyone, stay alert! We can't let this guy get to the inpatient ward!”
“Someone has already gone to notify security...”
A female student among them said this, but the male students at the very front of the group couldn't care less.
“Why talk so much? Let's just beat this guy to the ground.”
The students pulled out their wands simultaneously, channeling the mana in their bodies. But just as they were about to chant their spells, Ain's devil-like whisper drifted into their ears.
“Do you know what those potions I just poured out were?”
“They were all mixed with Tier 4 mana catalysts! If you dare to cast spells here, not only will the magical effects of your spells mix together, but they will also...”
“Boom~”
“With so many people casting spells together, who knows? This entire floor might be leveled to the ground.”
Ain slowly stepped aside, revealing dozens of ordinary medical staff members trembling behind him.
Ain feigned a look of shock, gasping, “No way, right? No way? As the empire's elites, students of the Golden Branch Academy, are you actually going to attack civilians?”
“Even if this entire floor is blown into ruins, is that really okay with you?”
Hearing Ain's words, the students instantly stopped their magic. A few even clenched their fists, staring at Ain with faces full of hatred.
“Underhanded tricks...”
“So what? You can't use magic either, can you?”
As soon as those words were spoken, Ain first lowered his head, then spread his arms wide and burst into laughter.
“You indeed cannot use it...”
“But I can!”
“Standing before you is the evil and powerful Lord Nolan!”
【Tier 4 Spell: Hellfire - Crimson Lotus Bow】
Ain drew his hands back as if pulling a bowstring. A longbow made of flames instantly materialized between his hands.
As an arrow burning with countless fierce flames shot out, it rubbed against the blue-green gas lingering in the air, creating visible sparks and friction.
In an instant, the area the arrow passed through erupted with powerful energy.
The massive shockwave blew the windows and exterior walls of this floor completely open. The violent explosion was loud enough to shatter everyone's eardrums.
Ain had already calculated the timing, detonating the arrow ahead of schedule.
Also, because of the potions, the arrow's magical effects had been largely neutralized, with countless flames swallowed by the blue-green gas.
The powerful shockwave sent all the students flying. The boys standing at the very front slammed heavily against the wall, clutching their chests in a pathetic state.
“Damn it! You...”
Ain pointed to the civilians fleeing in panic not far behind him and asked, “But people are watching, you know? My dear student, do you really want the glorious tale of your magic injuring innocent civilians to spread?”
“I can't guarantee what kind of effects these potions will have when mixed with your magic, after all.”
The student was stunned by Ain's words, glaring at him fiercely.
“Shameless!”
Ain laughed wildly. “This is strategy! Strategy!”
“Can't use magic, are you mad?”
“Ahahahahaha!”
To make this act realistic, the chaos and panic had to be as messy as possible!
Vanessa nudged Imeve beside her.
“Why do I feel like he's just having too much fun with this?”
“Well, I wouldn't know...”
Ain turned his head slightly and called out softly, “Vanes—uh, I mean... Assenav!”
What the hell is Assenav!
Couldn't think of a new name, so he just read my name backward?!
There's no way we won't get exposed like this!
Ain winked at Vanessa, signaling her to continue her task.
Vanessa suppressed her overwhelming embarrassment and gently shook the sign in her hand, which read "Boss is invincible, Boss is mighty."
“B-Boss is... invincible...”
“Boss is mighty...”
“Lord Nolan is unrivaled in the world...”
Vanessa couldn't bring herself to say any more.
This is so embarrassing!!!
Saying that only by using a name would this panic be worth remembering...
This is entirely just him wanting to play around, isn't it?
How could anyone possibly...
“Lord Nolan is wise and courageous!”
“Boss is mighty! Boss is invincible!”
A sweet voice rang out from beside Vanessa. She turned to see Imeve enthusiastically chanting slogans, waving the sign in her hand in perfect rhythm.
“I-Imeve?”
“What's wrong?”
“I remember you're... an Arbiter of the Titan Prosecution Office, right?”
“Is it really okay for you to destroy your own hospital like this?”
While holding up her sign, Imeve smiled and said, “Didn't we already evacuate the staff earlier?”
With that, Imeve looked at Ain ahead of them, a smile gracing her lips.
“Calling him 'Boss' is actually pretty fun, don't you think?”
Watching one enthusiastically showering praise while the other cackled like a cartoon villain, relentlessly humiliating the students, Vanessa finally broke down.
She completely failed to comprehend the train of thought of these two.
How is any of this fun?!
Attacking a hospital, inciting panic, and "killing" Erylin.
Is this really a plan a sane person would come up with?!
If a powerhouse of Tier 5 or Tier 6 shows up, aren't we completely doomed?!
Sob, sob, sob, I want to go home...
