Chapter 574 Choice
Chapter 574 Choice (4K, monthly ticket required~)
Yuki Judai is going to challenge Professor Mengjiang who looks to be the strongest among all the professors!
By the time Amagi Mitsuru finished his work and returned to the Fusion Department, he had already heard the news.
It is hard for Amagi Hikaru to say whether Mengjiang is the strongest professor, but judging from his appearance alone, it is very likely that Professor Mengjiang is more powerful than Professor Cobra and is incredibly strong.
The duel will be held the day after tomorrow. Professor Mengjiang will finish his patrol and take a night's rest. Before taking over the next round of patrol, he will have a class, and they will duel in that class.
Once this incident happened, it spread like wildfire among students.
Originally, because we were trapped on the island and had no internet, there wasn't much to talk about. Also, because there was the possibility of elf attacks from time to time, everyone was living in fear. Now that something like this had happened, everyone had to discuss it as if it were a treasure.
That's why this matter became a hot topic in an instant.
After all, normally, the Duel Academy would occasionally have professors and students dueling. But now was different. This was a special period, and Judai's duel with the fierce professor was "interesting" no matter how you looked at it.
The reason for the duel made the students want to discuss it even more.
Judai saw Professor Mengjiang kill an elf with his bare hands, so he challenged him! ?
this--
Doesn't seem to be a problem?
Many students think so.
These elves invaded their academy and disguised themselves as classmates to attack them. How could they expect to survive if they surrendered after being killed? That was impossible.
To be exact, the vast majority of students think this way.
However, there are also a group of students who think that Judai’s choice is not unreasonable. Since the other party has surrendered, isn’t it normal to let them go and lock them up?
Even on the battlefield, there are protocols regarding prisoners, right?
However, this is where the problem arises.
If you are soft-hearted and let your opponent go, can you guarantee that he will not do evil again in the future?
If another elf rescues it and then harms a classmate, who will be held responsible then?
Based on this issue, the two groups of students had a heated argument.
In the eyes of the former, rooting out the problem is definitely more worry-free and labor-saving than the latter, which requires more effort to conduct special supervision. It is also safer for the students. For them, the most important thing now is safety, and everything else should be abandoned.
But in the latter's view, if they really killed all the elves without any distinction, then what was the difference between them and the enemy? Moreover, if they kept the captives, they might be able to get some information from the elves. Wouldn't that be better?
Both sides had their own reasons, and they argued fiercely in various places in the college. Even in the Integration Department, many students were arguing with each other.
Amagi Hikaru half-slumped in his chair, listening to his classmates' discussion and rubbing his brows.
"Minister, if it were you, what would you choose?" The discussion became heated, and someone wanted to find an "authority", so they called out Amagi Hikaru, hoping that he could answer.
Amagi Hikaru smiled but didn't respond, but in fact many people knew it very well.
What would he choose?
How else can he choose!?
They have always known Amagi Hikaru's temper!
Complete the task of eradicating evil!
Not to mention the elves, even humans will not show mercy. How could they show mercy when the other party surrenders?
That's impossible.
Everyone is familiar with Amagi Hikaru, and of course, everyone knows that Judai Yuki, another pride of their fusion club and the "hero" who once saved his classmates at the critical moment, would never make this choice.
If the other party is willing to admit his mistake, I'm afraid he will show mercy no matter who he is.
Unless... they are genuine beings like the Dragon God of the Dark World and the Mad King of the Dark World who never repent.
Of course, there is indeed an enemy in Judai who has had thoughts like "I must make him die no matter what!", and that is... uh, Akama Reio.
Amagi Hikaru would not answer this question.
Because this kind of problem is not something he can "decide" or "instill".
In matters like this, we can only wait and see the final result. If Judai were given the choice, he would definitely say that he would choose to let the other party go.
What should I do if the other party does evil again later?
Then he will protect others.
What if we fail to protect others?
That was his fault. It was his fault for not being able to protect everyone, not that his choice was wrong.
If you let the other party go, you might get new help, or they might gather helpers and make a comeback, it might be beneficial, or it might result in losses. Some people don't want to take this risk, but Judai wants to take this risk.
It's a bit extreme to be honest, but if you expand on it, it's even more extreme.
Because it's not just those elves that were "let go", even if elves that have never been seen before attacked the classmates and caused injuries, in Judai's view, it is still unacceptable. It is his fault. It was his fault that he failed to protect his classmates in time.
However, the good news is...
Maybe it's because he's been with Amagi Hikaru for too long, or maybe it's because he met the "Overlord", so the current Judai is far less extreme than Amagi Hikaru remembered him to be at the same time. If it were that Judai, he would have directly dueled with the professor on the spot, without a "challenge" or an agreement to duel after the professor finished his work.
"A Guang, what do you think?" Judai lay on the table for a long time, until he looked up and asked him as if he had thought of something.
"Ha, idiot." When he heard Judai finally perked up and was about to ask, Manjome finally breathed a sigh of relief and cursed, "You idiot, your brain doesn't work well. Why didn't you ask earlier?"
"Lightning, I won't allow you to degrade yourself like this."
"Hey!"
Even when he was in a bad mental state, Judai never lost a quarrel with Manjome.
Judai looked back at Amagi Hikaru and asked, "Akuru, if it were you, would you let it go..."
"Judai, don't ask such questions." Manjomu sighed, "You should know very well what Amagi will do."
Today, Manjomu saw with his own eyes that Amagi Hikaru killed a professor for the sake of humanity. There was almost no other possibility for the choice Amagi Hikaru would make.
How do you want Tiancheng to answer this kind of question?
To be honest, I'm afraid there will be quarrels, and then the atmosphere in the academy will be even worse.
"...Will I do this?" Amagi Hikaru put his hands together to form an arch and thought, "It's hard to say."
The two looked at Amagi Hikaru in surprise.
They didn't expect that Amagi Hikaru's answer would be like this.
"Because it's really hard to answer." Tiancheng Guang shook his head, "To be precise, it should be...it depends on the situation, right?"
"It depends?"
"Yes - I will never forgive the spirit this time, but the other cases depend on the circumstances."
The two listened quietly to what Amagi Hikaru said.
Amagi Hikaru recalled and thought while recounting his own experience: "After all, we cannot know what kind of enemies we encounter every time. Maybe some people are controlled just because of accidents?
For example, the elves that were previously controlled by the fusion military force were brainwashed and controlled, and it was impossible to kill them.
But what else? Some want to actively invade, so we can't allow them to exist, right? If they launch an invasion, they can just surrender verbally and walk away... How can such a good thing happen in the world?
I am not sure whether they can truly repent. It will take time to see."
Amagi Hikaru spread his hands and said, "It's too complicated."
Yes--
Wanzhangmu patted his head.
In most cases, it depends on the specific circumstances.
Even in the Fusion Army, there are people that Amagi Hikaru doesn't dislike, such as the third-year head of the Combined Department, who is a genuine Fusion Army member. He was put under surveillance because of the relevant information he found out, but he actually has a good relationship with Amagi Hikaru. Professor Seraph is the initiator who brought the power of Darkness to this world. In a sense, he is the sinner of all mankind. It is natural that Amagi Hikaru showed no mercy to him.
After all, in practical terms, what Professor Seraph did was much more serious, even more serious, than what King Chima Zero did.
In this situation, if Amagi shows mercy, it would be irresponsible to humanity.
But in other situations, who can decide before things happen?
"Hmm..." Judai frowned, "Have you ever encountered such a situation?"
Tian Chengguang tilted his head, suddenly in a trance, and then clapped his hands: "It's true."
Really?
Amagi Hikaru stood up and said, "There is no time to lose, Judai. If that's the case, let's just go and take a look. The sooner we go, the sooner we can return. There shouldn't be any accidents here."
Another dimension?
Ten generations understand.
Because time was urgent and in order to prevent any sudden accidents from happening at the Duel Academy, Amagi Hikaru called Judai and went to the third floor.
Amagi Hikaru tried to activate the dimensional gate, but it couldn't be used normally due to the power of darkness.
This is also one of the reasons why Duel Academy is now unable to connect with the outside world. Even the dimensional gates in the school are basically unusable. Except for the Great Universe Workshop or the curry dimension connected to Professor Karayama, other "non-direct" dimensions are severely blocked.
Tian Chengguang adjusted the machine, increased the power, then took out the Emerald Book and pressed the book on. Relying on the power of the entire book and the "Philosopher's Stone" in it, he finally started the machine.
Energy cannot be wasted. Amagi Hikaru didn't waste time and quickly brought Judai to a place he wanted Judai to see...
Magic Toy Sanctuary!
The demons of this dimension once reached an agreement with the Fusion Army, and then invaded Dimension X. Later, they suffered backlash and were attacked by the soldiers of the Fusion Army. Finally, they were stabilized and settled down with the rescue of Amagi Hikaru.
At their root, they are not actually "innocent".
But in the end, Amagi Mitsuki did not kill them.
Judai came to this dimension and saw that most of the elves here were very busy. He asked Amagi Hikaru and found out that since Amagi Hikaru left here, the magic toys, to be exact, all the elves including the sharp imps and stuffed animals, have been busy. They traveled through various elf dimensions every day, trying their best to find and rescue people who had been hurt.
Not only that, they also made an agreement with Amagi Hikaru that if humans from the X-dimension come to seek revenge, they will definitely bear the wrath of the humans from the X-dimension.
That's the "I was wrong" attitude.
Judai stayed here for over an hour, even playing with some new Pokémon for a while, but when he saw that the time was almost up, he quickly left this dimension and returned to the Duel Academy.
After coming back, he was still worried. It seemed that although he had figured out some things, more problems arose. The smile on his face was more or less fake.
These questions in his heart are not something that Tiancheng Guang can answer, and Tiancheng Guang can only help to the extent he can.
Just like that, one day later, the students of Duel Academy gathered in the same classroom again, a rare occasion.
Professor Cobra quietly found a seat. He already knew that Seraphim had been defeated, but he didn't say anything.
For him, the death of his colleague will not affect his affairs, so he will not care.
The students took their seats one after another, and then Professor Judai and Professor Mengshou also came on stage.
Professor Mengjiang's uniform was open, revealing the shirt underneath. I don't know if it was because he was too tired during this period of time or if he had completely let himself go, but he took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, used his left hand to block the wind, lit it with a lighter in his right hand, then took a deep breath and exhaled a circle of cigarette.
"Hu~~"
He looked at Judai and noticed that Judai's brows were furrowed, so he couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, Judai, how about it, what have you been thinking about these two days?"
Judai shook his head: "I still... feel bad."
His mind is still groggy.
"Hahaha, I understand, I understand everything." Mengjiang laughed. He had always admired Shidai. After all, in his class, Shidai was the most active and most willing to cooperate with him, so he and Shidai were very familiar with each other.
Based on this, he also understood the Tenth Generation to some extent.
In his opinion, Judai’s only problem is not that he is kind, but that “I want everything”.
It's a bit difficult to protect your friends without hurting other beings.
Ed pulled a seat and sat next to Amagi Hikaru, looking at the stage.
He could also understand Judai's thoughts, so he was not surprised that Judai challenged Professor Mengjiang.
Although they are all "heroes", the heroes of the tenth generation are more of the pure, brilliant and brilliant heroes. They may use evil heroes, but the ultimate goal is always protection.
"To be honest, I'm quite happy about this, Judai."
"Is the professor happy?" Judai was actually surprised.
"Hahaha - of course." Professor Mengjiang laughed. "Look at the professor's rough appearance, you should understand it very well, right? The professor was not a teacher before...
I used to be a soldier in the international peacekeeping force and received several medals. "
Cobra remained silent. He had seen fierce generals on the battlefield before. They were indeed the elite among the elites in the peacekeeping force.
"A soldier in the peacekeeping force?" Judai was slightly surprised to hear the professor's past occupation.
He didn't expect that the fierce professor who killed the elf with his bare hands was actually a soldier of the peacekeeping force.
"I didn't use the name Mengjiang before." The professor said while smoking, "But when I resigned, my boss said that if I used my original identity, I might be approached by some big drug lord, so I changed my name."
The students were also quite surprised about this identity. Of course, the most surprising thing was that as a soldier in the peacekeeping force, why did he become a teacher?
The professor took another drag on his cigarette.
"Anyway, most of you should have realized that I'm really not very good at teaching - usually I just play videos or use myself as examples." The general laughed, and Professor Chronos beside him couldn't help but smile.
Indeed, among the many professors, even the few who are just filling in the gaps may not have any special talents, but they still have a good grasp of the basic skills of teaching and educating.
Only Professor Mengjiang is really not good at it at all, so he usually teaches blindly, teaching whatever he thinks of.
"If this continues, my professional qualification assessment will be in vain, right? So I am very grateful to you, Judai," he casually pressed the blade-shaped duel disk in front of his chest, and the duel disk automatically unfolded. Then he put the deck on the duel disk and shuffled it automatically. "If I continue to teach normally, I may not be able to do anything next semester - but, you challenged me, so no matter what the result of the duel is, I think the students will more or less understand me and you.
Now, my career rating assessment is stable, isn't it? "
Although before that, Professor Chronos might severely punish me for smoking in class.
"After all... if it's duelists, they can understand each other just by dueling, right?"
Judai's spirits finally perked up.
It seems that the professor is not a cruel warmongerer who kills all situations with one stick.
What he was actually most worried about was that the off-campus professor with whom he had the best relationship would be a warmongerer.
"I see - that's great! Professor! Duel!" He hurriedly and excitedly loaded the duel disk.
Professor Mengjiang, LP: 4000.
Yucheng Tendai, LP: 4000.
"I'll attack first and draw a card--" Professor Mengjiang's physical fitness seemed to be even more terrifying than Judai's, and he actually took the initiative to attack first.
He casually raised it in front of him, and the card automatically popped into his hand. He looked down and grinned, "Ha, a good draw. Then - activate the continuous magic card, Zhan Hua Shilue - Rebellion of the Forged Imperial Edict."
