Chapter 23 Choices

A long time passed in consciousness, but not so long in reality.

Ji Dongxuecai woke up from the illusion.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and gave Kurumi a meaningful look.

Bystanders are clear.

What I see is not only a simple future, but even a past that I don't know.

This can't be said to be pure kindness... What is the purpose of showing these to yourself?

But... none of that matters.

What kind of role does the Lion King agency play in this country?

Xuecai's heart was in a mess, her hands were tightly clenched, and her nails were firmly embedded in her flesh.

She didn't want to believe that everything in the illusion was real.

To separate the children and parents, to use herself as a sacrifice to the fourth primogenitor, and to sacrifice 10 people on Itokami Island, just for the qualification of a Dawn Flame—this is completely different from the Lion King mechanism in her heart.

But—reason told her that all this was reasonable.

A state organ cannot be as just and pure as she imagined, this is clear just by thinking about it.

To be honest, the cultivation of the Lion King mechanism is almost foolproof.

There is no problem, even necessity, in nurturing witches in the direction of purity.

Tell the witch directly, you were bred to sacrifice for the country, take your body...

It's not difficult to cultivate, but the key is, who would be interested in a witch cultivated in this way?

Those under surveillance are all veterans from the extraordinary world, will they be fooled by this?

In common sense, even if the witch finds that the Lion King mechanism is not as pure as she imagined in the later stage, it doesn't matter.

People will compromise.

What absolute justice does not exist in reality.

After coming out of the forest of high gods and gradually recognizing the reality, ideals will gradually give way to reality.

The actions of the Lion King's agency can be regarded as black justice. Fundamentally speaking, his actions are indeed for the sake of this country.

Even if you don't approve of this approach... what can you do?

Quit the Lion King Agency?

You know, those who come to the Lion King Agency are all "orphans", and they don't have a second home except the Lion King Agency.

Even if you are determined and want to quit the Lion King agency... what can you do?

Since I was a child, I have been trained as a witch and an attacking mage. I don’t know anything else. You can think of a fire extinguisher as a weapon. What can you do if you leave the Lion King agency?

In the end, they could only compromise—after all, they were not without feelings for the Lion King organization, and they spent their entire beautiful childhood here.

So far, there have been no problems with this process, but...

Most fundamentally, there is indeed a discrepancy between the nature of the Lion King's agency and his character of nurturing the witch.

After gradually realizing the reality, the priestesses who cultivated towards justice and purity may recognize the reality and compromise one by one, but—have you not experienced this process?

Yukina, who was violently poured into her mind by Kuang San about what the Lion King agency did and has not yet been baptized by society, can accept such a Lion King agency?

impossible.

For the Lion King agency, Yukina has a deep affection.

Before the age of seven, my memory was already blurred. Since I was sensible, I grew up in the Lion King institution.

There are reliable seniors, cute juniors, and teachers who teach themselves.

From the age of seven to 14, my dreams were pinned here. In my heart, I had no other place to live except for the Lion King institution.

Even if the Lion King Agency forcibly separates herself from her parents, even if the Lion King Agency wants to make herself a sacrifice to the Fourth Primogenitor—if it is only to the extent of sacrificing herself, Yukina gritted her teeth and would bear it.

In the original book, when the Sansheng asked her to monitor the Fourth Primogenitor, she was ready to sacrifice. Even if she learned the truth now, it was nothing more than a matter of sacrificing her life and chastity.

But—involving ordinary people in magical crimes, and taking 56 people as sacrifices, such behavior broke through her bottom line in an instant.

But... I can't do anything by myself.

As a trainee sword shaman who has not yet graduated, let alone change the way of the Lion King organization, even if he wants to leave the Lion King organization, he can't do it.

...It's not impossible, is it?

Xuecai stared.

Here is the No. [-] pawn shop, which claims to be a place where all wishes can come true.

If this is the purpose of the clerk, then I have to say...you won.

At this moment, she has already begun to think about what to pawn on her body and what she wants.

Feeling Yukina looking at him, Kurumi smiled slightly.

"How about it, guest? Do you want a lucky e-enhanced package? With the same value point, this is the most affordable."

Although with the authority of the world, it is not difficult to fabricate any kind of favor, but—to come up with an idea to let the core of the world evolve, or to materialize an item that Lin Bai already knew the core and principle, consume the same power, and then The strength of the former must at least exceed half of the former.

……

The surroundings of her body changed rapidly, and when Yukina opened her eyes again, she had returned to the Forest of High Gods.

Looking at the familiar scenery in front of her, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In any case, this is also my home to raise myself...Although, I don't know how long I can stay here.

Thinking of this, she sighed faintly.

It disappeared out of thin air, and appeared out of thin air again. Although it didn't take long, this movement also attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

After all, Yuantangyuan is a witch summoned in public, but she is also surrounded by fighting talents trained by the Lion King's agency, so it is impossible not to notice.

Of course, it's just whispering at most, and some people seem to nod when they see that it is Xuecai who has been 'chosen'.

Although Ji Dongxuecai didn't realize it himself, he got good grades in the academy and was cute and admired by many school girls.

But at the same time, her personality is a bit cold, and she doesn't respond when she talks to people. Over time, she forms the impression that she is inaccessible.

Well, although she didn't respond, it's because she was nervous before the simulated battle!

Fortunately, the commotion and whispering stopped immediately because of one person's words.

"Ji Dong Xuecai, come with me!"

The one who spoke was one of the three sages of the Lion King Agency, Yuan Tang Yuan, and her cat shikigami jumped down from her seat and walked forward with cat steps.

"Yes, Master!"

Ji Dong responded, following the cat expressionlessly.

After waiting for a while, because of the teacher's departure, the scene started whispering again.

"Wow, it seems that what Master Shifan said is true? Ah, what a pity, obviously I also prayed in front of the mirror, why wasn't I chosen?"

"Of course your practice is not enough. If you practice as strong as Yukina-senpai, you will definitely be selected!"

"Hey!? I just want to make a wish and become an excellent sword shaman like Yukina-senpai! The kind that can catch magic criminals cleanly."

"Don't daydream, you can get everything if you work hard. Besides, it may not be a good place. Even if you are selected, do you have the bargaining chip to pay?"

"Hey, of course I thought about it when Teacher Fan said it. For the sake of dreams, girls can give up all their time after the age of 40!"

"Weili, do you have any ideals you want to achieve?"

"what?"

Suddenly being gently touched with an elbow by a student of the same level, Yubo Weiri exclaimed as if waking up from a dream.

"What's wrong? Yuri is not in the state?"

"Ah, sorry, I was distracted, what did you just say?"

Yubo Weili dealt with it.

She looked at the direction where Xuecai left, feeling a little worried.

Rumors of the Fourth True Ancestor have spread in the Forest of High Gods.

Immortal and indestructible, without any blood compatriots, do not seek dominance, lead the twelve beasts who are incarnations of disasters, and only care about drinking human blood, killing, and destroying—a ruthless vampire that transcends the world.

If such a monster appeared in this country, would the Lion King Agency send someone to kill him?Such rumors and speculations made the students of Takasami no Mori feel terrified.

Having said that, it is just a guess that is as unreliable as the wind, and it is fleeting.

However, by chance, Yubo Weili learned about the Fourth True Ancestor from Xian Guyong.

He was on the waiting list for monitoring the Fourth True Ancestor Sword Shaman, and so was Ji Dongxuecai.

However, Yubo Weili already knew the result of her defeat.

Because - I am not an orphan.

In the forest of high gods, most of whom are orphans, she is a very small minority, and her parents are members of the Lion King Agency.

Considering that her parents are still alive, she lost the election.

If qualifications are further considered, I am afraid that Ji Dongxuecai will be selected among the remaining candidates on the list.

Could it be that Yukina already knew about it?

Featherwell sighed.

Because, Xiaoxue's expression is not right!

On the surface, it is as cold as usual, and you can't tell if you are not familiar with it.

Compared with the usual cold face to cover up his shyness and restraint, now under that face is like a suppressed volcano.

——If I am an orphan, if I can use the Xuexia wolf well, will I be the one who receives the dangerous task of 'monitoring the fourth primogenitor'?

Just because my parents are still alive...

The little sword witch candidate looked at Xuecai's back with some guilt.
