The eve of war is a tantalizing silence. The three of us boldly walked through the central corridor of the building, as there was no one in sight wherever we went inside.

The words "Student Union" were discreetly displayed and caught my eye. The student society of Azure Sky University was just behind us.

"Click~~~" The president forcefully pushed open the door. Darkness. Ahead of our eyes, there was only pitch-black darkness, and then a faint light slowly seeped in through the tightly closed curtains.

Step by step, we entered the dark room. "Click~~~" The door closed behind us.

Suddenly, a flash of light before our eyes. Darkness still surrounded us, but there was a bright spot in front of us. Sito Ming, sitting on a throne-like sofa, watched us with his actions and posture resembling an image.

"Hi~~ Elena, long time no see. I've been missing you day and night, missing everything about you~~~~~."

"Really? But I don't remember anything between us, and do we have anything between us?"

"Do you have to be so heartless?"

"Do you want me to be even more heartless?"

"Alright, I admit defeat in this round, but this is just for fun. I really want to know what I am playing at. Let me tell you straightforwardly, although I am somewhat impressed by your ability to enter the academy without my knowledge, everything you do inside this building is within our sight. So, as a reward, let me suppress our excited members first, and let you meet your adorable little member!"

As he spoke, lights illuminated another side, and a figure opened the door. It was clear from the door that Lilith was covered in wounds, her once bright school uniform stained with dark red blood. Lilith hung weakly on a cross, surrounded by at least three forbidden magic arrays.

"Hehe, let our rescue game begin, shall we? I really want to see you tortured to death."

"Ah! So you finally tell the truth. The ultimate goal is for me to die."

"Tsk!" Sito Ming waved his hand.

"Boom~~" As Sito Ming's hand fell, thunder, fire, and white light emitted colorful magic rays from the dark corners, illuminating the room that had been silent, peaceful, and dark.

In a split second, a golden light appeared before me. It was a wall made of solid and shining steel, which appeared out of thin air, blocking all attacks on the other side. The one casting the spell was President Elena, who possessed magic skills in both fire and earth, and the magic she displayed was a combined magic of fire and earth that had a stronger defensive power than the earth magic in the five elements and a stronger offensive power than fire magic - the gold series.

After President Elena cast all of her magic, Hanya used the fastest wind magic to break open the window of the room and jumped directly from the fifth floor.

In an unknown corner, a small paper crane was unknowingly placed in the trash can inside the room. Only Sito Ming and his servant noticed it.

"What is this paper crane?" Sito Yi Fei lightly picked up the paper crane.

"There is no magic fluctuation, so it shouldn't be a threat. After all, it's just a small, low-level one."

"Aren't you afraid of being deceived? Elena wouldn't bring someone useless."

"You're overthinking. Go prepare for the decisive battle with the 'First Knight' of The Chishin Academy!"

"Alright!" Sito Yi Fei threw the paper crane into the trash can.

Hanya and I descended on the wind. Looking back at the room we had just jumped out of, steel walls kept rising, and the agile body of our president kept weaving through them, while members of the Azure Sky Student Union kept pouring out.

A silent fire dragon appeared behind the president. Without even turning around, the president swung a steel sword backhandedly and cut through the fire dragon, making it disappear.

"Hehe! Playing with fire against me, it's too early."

"Don't worry, President. Although there are many members in the Azure Sky Student Union, they are not as elite as our organization. In Azure Sky University, as long as they obey Sito Ming, they can join the Union. That's their criterion for joining. So, they are just quantity without quality. Even if dozens of intermediate-level members come, it's not enough to pose a threat."

"I see."

"Don't daydream, idiot. Let's leave here first and wait for the signal from the president." Hanya turned around and walked towards the back, holding my hand.I... I... I... I am holding hands with Hanya? What is this concept? To be able to hold hands with Hanya, one of the three beauties of the academy and also the "First Knight," it feels like I'm dreaming... Dreaming? Hanya's hand is not big, but it's not too small either, and it is warm and feels really good. I couldn't help but tighten my grip, but underneath the warmth, there's a faint sense of familiarity, as if I've held that hand before.

If indeed we've held hands before, then I should definitely remember, but I don't have any impression at all, just a vague feeling.

The familiar feeling and the scent eventually made me recall the dream from that morning, the same dark green hair, the same figure, and finally the two figures overlapping.

That girl was Hanya, how is this possible? Since the start of the school year, nothing has been normal, not even the dreams. What exactly...

"Don't go!" I suddenly realized that something was wrong and I pulled Hanya, who was moving forward. Due to inertia and Hanya's lack of reaction, she stumbled right into my arms.

"Ah!" Hanya's expression was somewhat surprised, obviously not expecting me to make this move. At the same time, I didn't rush to explain, because when I held Hanya, the sense of familiarity she gave me became even stronger, far surpassing the sense of pride and excitement from being in close contact with the "First Knight."

Although I didn't explain, Hanya understood the reason in the next second as well.

Right at the place where Hanya had just stepped on, a ghostly claw reached out without any warning, seemingly trying to catch something, but it retreated without any gain. If I hadn't pulled Hanya back, she might have already been pulled down now.

"Uh... Thank you. How did you know that there would be ghostly claws?" After leaving my embrace and calming down, Hanya asked.

"The Demon Trap Magic formation, anyone caught in it will be pulled into the Hundred Ghost Abyss."

"But there was none when we came in, right?"

"There are two possibilities: first, Sito Ming deliberately didn't activate it and led us in, second, the trap Magic formation was not there when we came in, it was set up later. I personally think it's the second one."

"Regardless of the possibility, what we need to do now is to leave this place," Hanya decisively ended the investigation. "Do you have confidence in breaking it?"

"I have confidence, but it will take some time." Yes, that's right, it seems like we don't have much time left, for a simple reason, because there are quite a few members of the Azure Sky Student Union standing behind us.

"I will create time, even if we can't get through right now, we will eventually break free." With that said, I walked towards the enemies...
