Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 545: Chapter 0545: Dismissal (Seeking Subscription)

Li Weiwei thought Bai Jing was becoming more and more peculiar.

This director, who had been a sloth for over a decade, didn’t seem so uninterested these last few days and has even taken an interest in teaching Bai Ling!

Oh, by the Ancient God!!

Even though Bai Ling is Bai Jing’s niece, this kind of attention would make ninety-nine percent of occupational persons go crazy, wouldn’t it?

Also, this behavior was totally unlike Bai Jing’s usual character.

Apart from that, the disappearance of students and the terrifying atmosphere that filled the campus made Li Weiwei feel somewhat tired and overwhelmed.

“I’m so tired… My teaching life used to be so leisurely, how did it suddenly become like this?”

Confused, Li Weiwei slumped over a stack of documents.

Of course, it’s the norm for teachers at other transcendent schools to be overworked to the point of vomiting blood, but this had not been the case at East City Mystery College so far.

“Li Weiwei… come to my office.”

A voice rang directly in Li Weiwei’s ear.

“Yes!”

She stood up out of habit, but couldn’t see anyone. Even with her fourth-level abilities, she couldn’t detect any trace of anyone around.

“As expected… The principal’s power is unfathomable.”

Unfazed, Li Weiwei entered Bai Jing’s office.

At that moment, the large office door and windows were open. Other than her, a few older teachers like Ximen Ping, Cheng Feng, Lin Hong, were also present. A few crows were perched on the window edge, and a larger black-winged dragon was perched just outside the window, its vertical pupils fixed on the interior.

‘Looks like… all the higher-ups are here. Something big is about to happen at the academy!’

Li Weiwei was certain of this in her heart. She paid respects to Su Lu and waited to the side.

Behind the desk, Su Lu was filling his fountain pen with ink and signing his name on several documents.

After a few more minutes of waiting, he finished handling the situation and raised his head: “Everyone, I have an announcement to make…according to my calculations, the Star Shine is almost upon us.”

“Principal, are you talking about…the sixth Spirit Tide?”

Everyone in the room gasped.

Each arrival of the Spirit Tide brought world-shaking changes, and even posed a challenge to the status of humans as the rulers of Blue Star.

What change would it bring this time?

“For this reason, I’ve decided… the academy will be on an immediate break. Later, all students and teachers will be dismissed, and I will completely seal the secret realm. As for when it will reopen… that remains to be seen.”

Su Lu crossed his fingers in front of him and made his cold announcement.

“Principal, you mean to…suspend school?” Cheng Feng asked in disbelief. “Is that necessary? We’ve sat idle during the fourth and fifth Spirit Tides. What’s different this time?”

The others looked at Su Lu, questions in their eyes too.

“Intuition!”

Su Lu replied lightly, almost making Cheng Feng lose his breath.

Well, that sure was a good and solid reason.

In the old era, it would be nonsense, but it’s different in the new age!

The intuition of the strong has certain predictive elements in it, especially when it comes to prophecies made by Su Lu. Who dares to underestimate them?

“Alright… It makes sense to evacuate in advance for safety’s sake.” Lin Hong adjusted his glasses, expressing his support.

Opposing wouldn’t be useful anyway. In the entire academy, only Su Lu’s word counts. They’ve been used to it for over a decade and those who aren’t used to it have already left.

“Not just the regular teachers, but you all too, you’re all part of the evacuation plan.”

Su Lu added.

“We… have to evacuate too?” Li Weiwei pointed at her nose in disbelief, as she felt that a major event was just around the corner.

“Yes, that’s the way it is.” Su Lu turned to the seven crows: “Ada… You all have to leave too, even leave this forest. The further away, the better!”

For his creations, he still harbored some affection.

Even though these birds were already at the fifth level, they might not fare well in the upcoming battles.

They might even die at his hands!

After all, during the God Making Ceremony, who knows what changes might occur.

“Master… No, we can’t leave you.”

Ada was the first to object.

“You’re unwilling to give up the territory you’ve established, right?” Su Lu glanced at it: “This is an order!”

“Alright then…”

The several crows started to lament sorrowfully: “We are too weak to assist our great master…we’re useless…”

“Alright.”

Su Lu clapped his hands and pointed at Li Weiwei: “Start announcing now, we have to complete the full evacuation by tomorrow at the latest!”

“Yes!”

Li Weiwei responded and then instantly felt as if her head was swelling.

Even though there aren’t many students at Mysterious Academy, there are still somewhere around a thousand!

Telling them to evacuate just like that was a bizarre command.

She didn’t even know how to explain to the students and teachers yet.

…

“What? An emergency evacuation?”

Bai Ling looked at the content on the bulletin, grabbed a teacher: “Why?”

“I’m not sure either…”

The teacher gave a helpless bitter smile: “We’re also in the dark here, we need to retreat with you.”

Because of Bai Ling’s status, he started boasting: “The higher-ups of the academy are just like us, this order came directly from Spirit King himself, there must be deeper meaning.”

The implication was that she’d be better off asking her uncle directly.

But Bai Ling wasn’t too eager to see Su Lu.

She thought for a moment, went to an unoccupied place, and activated a rune: “The principal is evacuating the students and teachers, what exactly has happened?”

“We’re not sure either…”

The small voice from the other end of the rune came through, sounding a bit frustrated: “But the device has been successfully deployed and has not been destroyed. This is enough to prove that the other side hasn’t discovered anything yet. Didn’t you ask him?”

“I…”

Bai Ling faltered, unsure how to respond.

“It’s possible that there might be battles here later on, it’s good that non-related personnel are leaving…” The middleman didn’t pressure her for more information, much to Bai Ling’s relief.

“However, considering the changes in the situation… the headquarters might launch the plan ahead of schedule. We must continue to lay low and prepare to cooperate.”

The middleman continued.

“I understand.”

Bai Ling turned off the rune, her expression complex.

There’s no problem in continuing to lay low.

The academy was now in complete chaos, like a huge rush before the spring festival, apart from Mi Jiaying, hardly anyone would notice her.

Moreover, Bai Ling was well aware that SkyNet had infiltrated the academy’s higher-ups and had the ability to provide cover for them.

…

The following day.

The East City Mysterious College had fallen silent.

The once bustling campus had suddenly turned into a ghost house, such a contrast sent shivers down anyone’s spine.

Outside the Secret Realm.

With a flash of light, a group of figures appeared.

“Mr. Han…this time, you’ll be the main force for the attack.” Huang Minghao looked at his hand that was no longer in its prime, clenched his fist tightly: “The battle starts now!”
