: One against one

Chapter 17 One Against a Thousand

"Holy crap, it's Mo Fan!"

"So what if he's Mo Fan? He's just one person, while we have a thousand!"

"The Shadow Beast is being dragged along by the Shadow Wolf Beast."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but at the same time, a question kept echoing in everyone's mind: Is there something seriously wrong with Mo Fan's brain?

If there's no problem, why would they dare to openly sell spots on their website and then brazenly bring out Shadow Beasts?

……

Then, Mo Fan, the capturer of the Shadow Beast, appeared before everyone, and almost everyone surrounded him.

"How was it? Exciting, wasn't it?"

Suddenly, Gojo Satoru appeared beside Mo Fan with a grinning face, looking utterly smug.

"This is so exciting, okay!" Mo Fan pointed to the scene below where hundreds of people were gathered and grinned.

"Hmph, I knew it would be exciting!" Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow, then said, "Well then, let's get down to business."

"Um."

Mo Fan glanced at the group of people, where the Black Vatican's henchmen were hiding. He then took out a bottle of unknown liquid from his pocket and tossed it around.

Suddenly, Mo Fan cried out in pain as the unknown liquid he was tossing around in his hand was swallowed by the Shadow Beast.

Then, he exaggeratedly gestured with his hands like megaphones and exclaimed, "Holy crap! The Holy Spring fell into the Shadow Beast's mouth! Wu, remember to help me cut it open and get it out later!"

Seeing how fake Mo Fan's performance was, Gojo couldn't help but facepalm.

But then I thought, since it's an open scheme anyway, there's no need for too much real stuff. As long as the Earthly Sacred Spring is real, the other party will inevitably fall for it.

Then Gojo Satoru gave Mo Fan an OK sign: "No problem!"

This was a well-intentioned plan that Gojo Satoru and Mo Fan devised during lunch today.

If the Black Vatican wants the Holy Spring, they must enter the Pearl Academy to seize the Shadow Beast.

Gojo Satoru, on the other hand, can use his six eyes to see through souls and directly lock onto members of the Black Vatican, able to pinpoint their essence with just one glance.

The saying "Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who are willing will take the bait" perfectly illustrates this!

…………

"This is bad news, those two bastards, Gojo Satoru and Mo Fan, are in cahoots!"

"We absolutely cannot let them succeed this time!"

"Yes, as long as it's not those two bastards, I can accept it!"

"Prepare the magic!"

Most students were simply angry at Mo Fan and Wu Tiao Wu's arrogant behavior, and they didn't understand or want to understand their exaggerated rhetoric.

In the corner outside the fighting cage.

"This Mo Fan and Wu Tiao Wu... they know our purpose."

"He is tempting us."

"So what if it's an inducement? All the students are vying for the Shadow Beast, it's only natural for us to join in!"

"Your Excellency, is that really the case?"

The man referred to as the priest glared at Mo Fan with resentment, then said without a doubt, "There's no mistake, that's the Sacred Spring!"

"Sir, I've investigated, and the members of the Inquisition are not in this area. As long as we keep the school in the dark, this operation will definitely remain undetected," a subordinate said.

"Alright, from now on, inform everyone to seize the Shadow Beast at all costs!" the priest said to the people around him.

"clear!"

……

Gojo Satoru and Mo Fan led the Shadow Beasts closer and closer to the iron cage, step by step.

The students gathered at the front were already getting impatient, and the magic star map began to appear.

They knew that the great demon Mo Fan and Gojo Satoru were both exceptionally strong, but if they let them get any closer, they would be within the range of the iron cage.

So be it, being able to eat is a blessing!

Gojo Satoru's pale blue eyes, shrouded in white mist, quickly noticed this scene and silently took out his Yuuko.

It's much more satisfying to beat up these clueless little trash using physical techniques!

The Cloud-Wandering Staff is a vermilion three-section staff, with black patterns at both ends of each section.

As a top-tier spell tool, it doesn't have any special spell enhancements; its effect is purely physical damage output.

Simply put, it boils down to two things: incredibly hard and capable of critical hits!

Nothing has changed in this world.

"Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering!"

The fire-type students were the first to successfully draw the magic star map and launch an attack.

Within that crimson glow, the flaming fist suddenly roared out!

With a stomp of his left foot, Gojo Satoru's figure instantly closed in on the Fierce Fist, his cloud-like movements as graceful as a butterfly taking flight!

BOOM BOOM!!

Rumble!!

The black and red cloud that unleashed a sonic boom shattered the mid-level fire magic, Fierce Fist, right before everyone's eyes!

Gojo Satoru gripped the Yuuki, his entire body radiating silver magic, and the surrounding air emitted restless shrieks!

Mo Fan immediately jumped off the Ghost Wolf Beast to fight alongside Gotō Sō.

"You don't need to lift a finger; I can handle these small fry all by myself!"

Gojo Satoru shook his head at Mo Fan and said arrogantly.

These words caused an uproar in the room!

All the students in the summoning cage were shocked by Gojo Satoru's arrogant words.

"Class monitor, this is too much..."

The healing-type girls watching from afar were speechless with astonishment.

Unlike his usual carefree, optimistic, cheerful and lively class monitor, Gojo Satoru at this moment exuded an inexplicable arrogance, conceit, and domineering aura!

"Good heavens, who is this? How dare they say such arrogant things!"

"He's Gojo Satoru from the healing department, one of the culprits who caused us to lose public resources at the orientation!"

"This person is also a mid-level mage, and I heard they're a space-type mage!"

"Even a rare spatial ability is no excuse for him to act so arrogantly!"

All the students scoffed at Gojo Satoru's arrogant remarks. They were all geniuses of the same age, and every one of them who could enter the main campus was a mid-level mage.

Do you really think you can take on all 800 of us by yourself? That's impossible. No matter how strong one person is, their strength is limited.

The first to make a move was a summoner; a Bone Eater indiscriminately unleashed its feather blades, attempting to eliminate Gojo Satoru in one fell swoop.

Ding ding ding~~!

The pair of black and red nunchucks were wielded with impenetrable force, blocking all the incoming feather blades.

"Floating in mid-air, is it being used as a target?"

Gojo Satoru revealed a hint of mockery, and then blasted the bone-eating demon, which was as brittle as paper, into the artificial lake with a single blow.

This wave resulted in the loss of more than a dozen people, because the Bone Eater attacks indiscriminately, and more than a dozen people who got too close fell down immediately.

Meanwhile, many students who lacked defensive capabilities and were unable to cast intermediate-level spells chose to give up.

This struggle itself is a major test, a test of life and death!

"Ice Lock!"

"thunderbolt!"

"Windbreaker!"

At this moment, several intermediate students finished drawing the spell, and several magic star maps instantly shone.

Gojo Satoru moved quickly, his hands constantly shattering the mid-level magic that was condensing, then he took down the two who first stepped forward with a punch and a kick, and then twisted his waist to block the fire-type fist.

Having done all this, Gojo Satoru looked for his real target, knocking out the person in front of him with a punch, and then looked towards a more densely populated area.
