Chapter 387: The Silver Secret Court Dean
Chapter 387: The Silver Secret Court Dean
However, Su Yu didn't have to wait long.
About ten minutes later, two blue figures flew in through the window and landed in front of him.
One of these figures was, of course, Donna, and the other was her brother, the War Inspector sent by the SINGER civilization, the same person who had once given Su Yu an invitation to the academy.
Donna's brother, like her, had adopted a Chinese-sounding name: Link.
Link was not a student at the Silver Secret Court but an assistant instructor. He had been selected through rigorous processes to become a War Inspector, and through this connection, Donna had managed to secure the lucrative position of Game Inspector.
Link was much more robust than most human males from Earth.
Approaching Su Yu, he smiled and said, "Human, it's great to see you again!"
"It's an honor to see you again, Lord Link," Su Yu replied respectfully.
Link stroked the tendrils on his chin and asked, "I heard from my sister that you obtained a component of a Stellar-grade weapon from a treasure map in the ‘Credit Blind Box’?"
"That's correct," Su Yu responded honestly, showing him a video on his phone.
Link said nothing, focusing intently on the video.
After watching the entire clip, Link made Su Yu replay the video three more times.
Only after the fourth viewing did he stroke his tendrils and slowly nod.
Donna, growing impatient, asked, "Brother, what did you see in that video?"
Link glanced at his sister and replied, "I saw quite a few things—first, this is indeed a component of a Stellar-grade weapon; second, this weapon is likely the Dean's personal sword."
"The Dean?!" Donna's voice rose an octave. "This is the Dean's sword?"
"Of course," Link took the phone from Su Yu and pointed to the handle of the sword in the video. "Look, there's the Dean's emblem, and there's also a carving of a ‘Pikachu’. It seems the Dean has a particular fondness for the ‘Pikachu’ species. He split the sword in two and gave the handle to the ‘Pikachu’ clan as a gift."
"The ‘Pikachu’ holding the handle can achieve an Eighth Stage, ensuring their survival in the harsh competition they face."
"I see!" Donna nodded, understanding. "That does sound like the Dean. Among the Stellar-grade elites, only he would do something so... whimsical."
"Ha, yes!" Link laughed. "And only he would name it the ‘Sword of Ten Thousand Admonitions’!"
Before Link's laughter had fully subsided, a voice suddenly echoed in his ear, "Student, could you repeat what you just said?"
Link's smile froze.
Pang!
A beam of light struck him from an unknown source, instantly transforming him into a sheep, which fell to the ground, bewildered.
At the same time, a spatial portal tore open beside Su Yu, and a silver-skinned elder stepped out, wearing a luxurious golden robe adorned with purple runes.
The elder bore a striking resemblance to the character “Prophet Velen” from a game called World of Warcraft.
Infinite magic surged from the elder, causing the space around him to warp and distort irregularly.
If Su Yu's Sixth Stage power was a small pond, then this elder was the Pacific Ocean!
Seeing the elder, Donna hurriedly bowed. "Dean, it's an honor to see you here. What brings you here so suddenly?"
When Dona spoke, Su Yu finally realized that this person was the Dean of the Saint Silver Secret Court. He quickly bowed to show his respect.
The Dean scanned the surroundings with a half-smile. "Oh, I sensed the sword hilt on Skrul Planet had appeared, so I decided to take a trip through the galaxy to check it out and feed the cute little electric rats I keep. Little did I know, I’d just arrived in the galaxy from Saint Silver Planet and hear you two badmouthing me."
Dona quickly raised her hand. "Dean, I didn’t say anything bad about you!"
Then she pointed at the "sheep" on the ground. "It was him! He’s the one who said it! I can vouch for it, he’s the bad guy!"
Faced with this "principle issue," Dona didn’t hesitate to betray her own brother.
"Baa! Baa!" The "sheep" on the ground tried to protest, but he couldn’t speak, only managing to bleat.
"Very well." The Dean waved his hand, and a staff made of bright purple crystal appeared in his grasp.
With another wave, a pale purple light circle shot out from the staff and enveloped the "sheep." "This is your punishment: you won’t be able to sleep for three days."
For the Saint Silver people, a race known for their love of sleep, not being able to sleep for three days was a severe punishment!
"Baa!!!" The "sheep" let out a blood-curdling bleat, running to the Dean and biting the hem of his robe, trying to beg for mercy.
But the Dean didn’t show any leniency, kicking him several meters away.
Su Yu, standing nearby, witnessed the entire scene. This was definitely a dark moment in Link’s history! But Su Yu didn’t dare laugh, clenching his jaw and standing still, trying to remain inconspicuous.
However, after the Dean kicked Link away, he suddenly walked over to Su Yu, stopping in front of him and staring directly at him.
Then, he bluntly said, "Human, I sense the taste of destiny on you, something like a Seed of the Universe?"
Su Yu was taken aback.
A Seed of the Universe? What was that?
Before he could respond, Dona spoke up. "Dean, what’s a Seed of the Universe?"
"You wouldn’t understand even if I explained it to you." The Dean shook his head. "It’s like a three-dimensional being trying to understand a four-dimensional one. If you ever advance to the Planetary stage, you can come back and ask me then."
With that, the Dean waved his staff, and a white-glowing portal appeared in front of him.
He nodded at Dona. "Farewell, Dona! I wish you success in completing this mission and a swift return to Saint Silver Planet."
"Farewell, Dean!" Dona replied politely. "I hope the little electric rats will love you!"
"Indeed." The Dean nodded, stepping into the portal, which slowly closed and vanished into thin air.
"Phew! Finally gone!" After the Dean left, Dona stretched and let out a sigh of relief.
Their Dean was a kind and approachable person, but the massive power gap made her feel immense pressure in his presence.
"Baa!" The "sheep" that was Link let out a bleat, flying out of the window and disappearing into the distance without looking back.
