"What do you think you're doing?!"
The demon who was picked up was clearly panicked.
"Huh? But Mr. Shesi told me to do it?"
"Lord Shesi?" Iruma ran over, also stunned.
"My brother told him to do it?" At this moment, the fuse reached its end. Asmodeus quickly thought, 'This isn't good,' and shielded Iruma behind him. However, the anticipated explosion didn't occur; there was no sound at all.
"Huh?" The two approached curiously and looked into the launcher. Instead of a projectile, there was a piece of paper.
Iruma took it out.
"Iruma, you should see this paper when you return. I asked a member of the Division nearby for a favor: to light the fuse when you two got back. Is it a dud? It should be a dud. But the projectile wasn't from Clara and me; it was from our senior. Also, there's a little something inside that you might find useful. Clara and I are going to play first. You two go find Kiriwo. Iruma should know where he is."
Iruma and Asmodeus looked bewildered after reading the note.
"So, a senior took the Fireworks?" Asmodeus looked at Iruma.
"I don't know either, but my brother wouldn't lie to me. Should we go find the senior first?"
Then the two began to search separately.
Inside the Border Control, Asmodeus Amaryllis looked at Sullivan, who was playing chess with a staff member in the interrogation room.
"Honestly, at first glance, he seems like a gentle demon, but intelligence shows he illegally smuggled himself into the human world and forcibly brought a human to the Demon World... Is that really true, Baal?" Asmodeus Amaryllis asked, looking at Baal, who was standing idly behind him.
"Who knows."
"Baal?"
"Alright, alright, this is the report from my intelligence network. You got the intelligence too, didn't you? That's why you're so vigilant, sending everyone from the Security Bureau back to guard this place." Baal looked around; the area was full of fierce-looking Security Bureau members.
Asmodeus Amaryllis turned his head upon hearing this. "This is a measure to prevent escape. It's understandable to gather elites here before his name is cleared, but detaining Lord Sullivan for a long time is also impolite... Do you have some plan?"
"Who knows? It's best if nothing happens," Baal continued to evade the question.
In front of the Magic Tool Division stall in the evening.
"Oh, President Ameri," Lord Shesi said, greeting Ameri, who was lost in thought over the Fireworks launcher, as he returned with Clara after a day of playing.
"Ah? Ah... Shesi." Ameri started, then saw Lord Shesi and Clara approaching. Lord Shesi and Clara were covered in decorations.
"You two look like you had a lot of fun," Ameri said, a little envious.
"Mhm, the festival was so fun! Xiao Hong, you should come too!" Clara was clearly having a blast.
"No, I still have to ensure the safety of the festival. Goodbye~" Ameri said.
Suddenly, Ameri, who had walked halfway, turned back to Lord Shesi.
"I'm really looking forward to your Division's performance."
"Thank you for your anticipation," Lord Shesi replied.
Meanwhile, the Student Council members nearby noted down their leader Ameri's words.
The Magic Tool Division's performance is very important, it might be dangerous or very impressive, pay attention!
The sun was about to set. At this time, Iruma and Asmodeus, who had searched the entire school, also returned and happened to see the two.
"Yo, Asmodeus, Iruma, didn't you find the senior?" Lord Shesi greeted the two, also handing them bone-marrow demon sausages he had bought for them from another side.
"Thank you, no... We searched everywhere in the school but didn't see him..." Iruma said disappointedly after taking a bite.
"Where could he have gone? Did he run away? Is he not confident in the success of the Fireworks? Is he scared?"
"No, I believe in my senior. He works so hard for his ambition... I believe him!" Iruma said. Asmodeus stopped speaking upon hearing this and continued to look at Iruma. Perhaps it was Iruma's personality that attracted him?
Time passed minute by minute. Seeing that it was almost time, Lord Shesi glanced at his watch and then looked at Iruma.
"If we can't find the senior anywhere in the school, one might think our Magic Tool Division has some secret base."
"Secret... base? I think I know!" Upon hearing Lord Shesi's hint, Iruma suddenly remembered something. He then told the three and started running. Asmodeus quickly followed. Lord Shesi saw Clara hadn't kept up and secretly thought, 'Indeed, the wind stirred by this little butterfly of mine seems to be considerable.'
"Let's go, Clara, we'll go that way."
"Oh!"
Not long after the two left, a massive surge of magic suddenly descended upon Babirus School. In an instant, it seemed even Sullivan, far away at the Border Control, noticed it.
"Checkmate! Ahahaha."
...It seems he didn't.
Back at the school, a giant transparent wall sealed the Academy. Everyone immediately began to panic and fall into chaos.
"What's going on?"
Just as a stall was about to crash onto several girls, Sabnock, who had arrived, propped it up.
Kalego also immediately began giving orders.
"Don't panic! Confirm safety! Teachers, confirm your respective areas of jurisdiction, quickly!"
"Yes!"
"You rookie, you go too."
"No, I need to properly assist the Acting Chairman."
Lord Shesi and Clara had already arrived at the "meeting point" set up by Kiriwo. Yes, it was Kiriwo's doing. Although Kiriwo's magic was scarce, it wasn't to the extent that he would vomit blood from a little fright. He vomited blood entirely because he had to continuously infuse magic into the necklace around his neck, which was made of the same material as the Ring of Gluttony. After three years of uninterrupted infusion, the magic stored within it had reached a terrifying level. Now, it was all released at once, enveloping the entire Academy. Although this transparent wall could be broken, it could quickly self-repair, and inside, there were many smaller walls that would guide everyone to one place, which was the final event of the festival: ringing the Bell of Harvest.
In the corridor, Robin and Kalego also happened to be trapped in one place.
"How are these barriers made? They're completely still and so hard! Ah, I know! It must be a planned surprise, right?"
"A surprise?"
"Who do you think did it, Kalego, Acting Chairman?"
"Don't call me that, and move aside." Kalego pushed Robin away and approached the barrier.
"Watchdog's Hook Claws!" A three-headed hellhound made of lightning immediately appeared behind Kalego and directly crashed into the barrier.
"The barrier was actually blown open! How amazing... but it seems to heal itself," Robin said.
"Such powerful magic... Let's go, rookie, your suggestion has been adopted." With that, Kalego walked towards the school's archives.
"Teacher Daleth," Kalego communicated with the Head of Guidance using magic.
"Teacher Kalego, it seems the situation is urgent. The students are starting to riot... Hmm, I see."
