Chapter 1638
Walpurgis Academy, Tortoise dormitory.
Wu Yan told Natsuki about what happened to him, Charlotte, and Frey today. He also told her about Frey's attempt on Raishin's life and the meeting between Wu Yan and Bronson.
Ikaros brewed them some tea while he quenched his thirst for good tea.
"Well, that's how it went down."
"To kill others in order to protect her automata."
Natsuki sighed.
"That brat doesn't have it easy."
"Bronson took it too far."
Nagisa huffed.
"That's not how a father should act."
Kanon stopped when she heard the story. Her eyes were also dim with a slight tinge of pain.
"Nagisa..."
Nagisa was chastized by the looks of disapproval from Wu Yan and Natsuki.
Kanon's foster father did something terrible to her too.
He turned her into a fake angel and made her fight other clones like her to upgrade her abilities.
Kanon's father is worse than Bronson.
Of course, only in terms of lying.
"Kanon-chan."
Nagisa was on the verge of tears.
"I am so sorry, I didn't mean it..."
"It's fine, Nagisa-chan."
Kanon assured Nagisa as she held her hand.
"I have a new family now. I am as happy as I could ever be."
"R-Really?"
Nagisa glanced at her.
"You're not mad at me?"
"No..."
Kanon gave her an angelic smile.
"Nagisa is my family, that's why!"
"Nagisa-chan..."
Touched, Nagisa hugged Kanon. Kanon looked at Wu Yan with a slight blush.
"Onii-chan, why don't we help Frey-san?"
Kanon who came from a similar background felt sympathy for Frey.
"It's fine."
Wu Yan ruffled her silver locks.
"I know what I am doing."
"Master..."
Ikaros finally said something.
"Sorry for troubling you."
"Why is everyone talking about this like it's a problem?"
Wu Yan shook his head.
He roamed his gaze over everyone.
"Look, I am your family, your man, but don't treat me like your master. Decide what you ladies want and I would do it to the best of my abilities. I don't like this kind of subservient mannerism."
Natsuki, Ikaros, Astrea, Nagisa, and Kanon all flinched slightly. The weaker-willed ladies blushed.
Ikaros is the MVP, she rarely blushes but she's definitely putting on the red Christmas lights on her face.
This expressionless lady finally showed a hint of her true feelings for Wu Yan.
It's a rare sight to behold.
But, she covered it up a second later much to Wu Yan's lament.
Fwoosh
Something pierced through the air.
Ikaros and Astrea jumped into action as they blocked Wu Yan from the attack.
Clang
The window of their room burst open as a dagger flew into the room.
He recognized the attacker the moment he saw the heated dagger.
"I won't let you hurt master!"
Astrea swung her Chrysaor at the dagger.
Clang
the dagger bounced off her blade.
Clang
As more daggers followed, Ikaros responded with her crystalline barrier.
Bang bang bang
The daggers couldn't pierce Aegis nor could the shards of glass hit them.
Astrea wanted to rush out before someone stopped the two angels.
Wu Yan ordered.
"Natsuki."
Natsuki nodded as space warped around them.
They teleported to the courtyard of the Tortoise dormitory.
Standing a dozen meters away are Loki and Cherubim.
"Loki."
Frey grabbed Loki's arm while pleading against his actions.
'N-No, don't..."
Loki ignored her. He released magic power.
Loki is going to fight Wu Yan here.
He was jumped outside the academy and now he got attacked on his home turf. Even Wu Yan is pissed now.
Loki wants to duke it out with him right here.
Wu Yan stared at Loki.
"Are you retarded?"
"I might be humble and merciful but I don't tolerate three types of people." 𝗳r𝚎𝐞w𝐞𝚋𝗻𝗼vel.𝗰o𝐦
Loki shut his eyes.
"Those who order me, those who disobey me, and..."
He unleashed his killing intent.
"People who insult my brain and just won't die!"
No need for many words.
Loki just wants to attack Wu Yan.
Meanwhile, Wu Yan wants to give Loki a thorough beating for wrecking his home.
The moment they spotted each other was the moment the duel began.
