Her choice was correct. As a student from Holy Trinity, speaking out hastily at this time would only make the situation more chaotic.

There were really too many questions and too many words accumulated in Hifumi's heart. She wanted to ask Azusa and her husband, but she couldn't ask them.

The children of Abydos are under siege,

Gehna's students also stared at him with anxious eyes,

And Iori,

The gentleman sighed silently in his heart,

I'm afraid he really broke Iori's heart this time.

The no longer calm sea breeze blew through her hair, blowing the long silver-white hair into flying directions, but the familiar sea breeze no longer had the familiar smell.

This time, there are no more tricks, tricks, or glib sophistry.

He must make up his mind and make a choice.

"I will give Gehna an explanation."

"Oh? What is that?" Iori's question was still ruthless.

The teacher looked at his students intently, with calm and firm eyes. He leaned his weak body against the edge of the boat, his fingers pinching his knuckles still trembling slightly:

"Completely defeat the Holy Trinity, cure Hina Sorasaki, and take back the Ghenna campus."

"This is the maximum promise I can give. I swear to you, I am capable of fulfilling these three conditions."

The gentleman's face was as pale as a piece of paper, as if a gust of wind could blow his tortured body away.

Still, he was smiling and laughing.

His tone was calm and his expression was natural, like a reliable adult who had all the battle situations in his hands.

The members of Gehena's picket team all had slightly relaxed expressions on their faces.

My husband's condition has reached a level that cannot be concealed. Even students who don't often come into contact with my husband can tell at a glance that his life condition is not good.

The conditions he gave may be within the expectations of Ghenna's students, but they are definitely difficult for him.

Looking at this man dragging his broken body, even the most demanding students could not ask him to do more for them...

Iori's face was a little gloomy, then he sighed and said:

"If we continue to press like this, it will disgrace Gehenna's reputation... But, sir, are you sure you are still capable of meeting these three conditions?"

The teacher felt warm in his heart when he saw the flash of tears hidden under the ruthless mask in Iori's eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, then took out a golden card from his arms.

Seeing this golden card, the students were slightly surprised.

"...Your Majesty's card?"

Iori murmured.

The gentleman smiled slightly and raised his eyes. His light gray pupils were as clear as water in the sunlight.

"Yes, I still have some ability to create miracles... through this 'adult's card', I have the ability to turn these three conditions into reality."

He immediately lowered his head, his eyes a little dim,

"It's just that I still can't restore Hina Sorasaki's spirit."

Iori asked in a daze:

"why……"

But when she saw the cracks on the golden card, she froze, pursed her lips fiercely, and forced herself not to shed tears.

The golden card, which represents 'miracle', has already shown shocking cracks.

The color of the card itself has also become lighter, turning into a pale golden color that is closer to pale.

The wind became stronger, and the clouds were pushed into the distance, revealing a clean, blue sky above the head.

The husband's eyes facing the wind were empty and lifeless, which made the pain in her heart spread again.

'Sir's Card' is a prop that is powered by Mr.'s life force and can create miracles.

But now, how much vitality does Mr. have left?

This is already a problem that does not need to be discussed, and they do not dare to face it.

The husband made a condition that was more difficult than the last. Even if he exhausted his remaining vitality, he would not be able to solve all the problems in an instant.

So he must use it sparingly.

Save his life.

Accurate calculations, step-by-step deductions, and strive to squeeze every bit of his remaining time and life to the limit, leaving no room for change for himself.

Therefore, for him, the 'adult's card' can only be used as a last resort in emergencies.

Do your best, obey destiny, and let your vitality make up for the rest.

"you……"

Iori weakly raised her finger and pointed at her husband, wanting to say something.

But her throat seemed to be blocked by something bitter, and she could no longer say a word.

"As for Bai Zhouzi,"

The gentleman looked back,

Looking at the girl with silver hair and staring at him with pale pink-purple pupils,

There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes, but the words coming out of his mouth were in a business-like, cold tone:

"She was our first prisoner of war."

Iori remained silent.

The children of Abydos were also silent.

Bai Zi had put down his gun unknowingly, and his eyes were filled with the cracked light-colored card.

The gentleman continued:

"Treating prisoners of war well is the key to winning the war. I don't need to repeat this point. The combat manual has already explained the truth."

"If you mistreat prisoners of war, the enemy will only become more united in the same hatred and create an aura of defeat."

"On the contrary, as long as we treat the prisoners of war well, not only can we win more impression points in the hearts of the citizens of Kivotos, but we can also use the prisoners of war to make a big fuss and undermine the enemy's military morale. This is a wise tactic."

"As long as we stick to this way of doing things, I believe that soon, the balance of victory will tilt in our favor."

He looked at Iori with sincere eyes,

He didn't mention a word how much he cared about Bai Zhouzi's safety. He only discussed the issue from Gehena's position from the perspective of pure interests.

"This is my suggestion, my proposal, can you accept it, Iori-san?"

Iori took a deep breath.

She could feel that the faces of the members of the Gehenna picket team around her were no longer so serious, and they began to be moved by her husband's attitude.

After being silent for a while and swallowing a mouthful of saliva,

Silver mirror Iori showed a smile,

No arrogance, no disgust, just a simple, gentle smile,

"We can barely accept this proposal."

Chapter 041: Day 060·Intermission①

The husband can no longer remember how many times he dreamed that he was falling and falling.

The biting cold wind in the boundless sky whizzed past, like a silver sharp knife, piercing the cheeks with pain.The feeling of weightlessness brought about deep fear, almost making his back completely soaked in cold sweat.

Nothing, no one to rely on, no strong hand to catch him and stop him from falling.His body was fluttering in the wind, as if he had left the fallen leaves of the trees, losing the goal of life and not knowing where to end up.

He slowly closed his eyes without struggling.

"boom!"

A hard, cushioned bed caught him.

"At least you don't have to worry about falling to pieces," he thought.

The entire room was undulating regularly, floating up and down in a soothing rhythm. It seemed that there were no strong winds or waves on the sea today.

Looking out of the porthole, there was only continuous cold rain and a thin white mist covering the sea.

Just as the husband was immersed in this moment of silence and the scenery outside the window, the familiar pain hit him from behind again.

"Uh……"

The man on the bed let out an unconscious groan, his eyelashes fluttered, and the corner of his mouth raised a smile habitually and mechanically.

When he is in pain, he laughs.

He has done this action very skillfully, and it is almost as fast as a conditioned reflex.

Normally, the husband would certainly not pretend to be alright and force himself to isolate himself from physical pain with a smile.He will not deliberately create a tough guy image, nor will he use this disguised image to establish his authority.

Only now, the situation has changed.

When the war burned the peace of Kivotos to ashes, Ghena's children were still frightened, and the situation in Kivotos was becoming more turbulent every day.

Even if sufficient material conditions are used to make up for it, the general trend of panic among people cannot be stopped.

He was no longer qualified to show his weak side to the children.

That would only make the already chaotic situation become confusing again.

At least, he couldn't fall until he fulfilled the three promises he made to Ghenna's students in public.

"Well, at least I'm alive."

he muttered to himself.

"You...seem to be very sorry about this fact, sir."

A slightly cold voice came from across the room.

The gentleman slowly moved his limbs, straightened up and looked towards the door.

Silver Mirror Iori was leaning against the door frame, with her arms folded across her chest, and her bright red eyes looking at him.

The husband moved his body and climbed out of bed, looked at her and whispered:

"I'm sorry for asking you to come forward yesterday and play that hateful role..."

Iori shrugged:

"It's okay, sir, do you think I care?

In a situation like yesterday, someone had to stand up on behalf of Gehna and ask where you stand.

If it's not me but other kids who don't know you well and can't navigate the conversation, it's not going to end well, that's all. "

She straightened her back from the doorframe, put her hands on her hips, and walked towards her husband.

Seeing a hint of guilt flash in her husband's light gray eyes, she smiled nonchalantly,

Iori stretched out her left hand and pressed the gentleman's cold shoulder. The gentleman sighed softly:

"Thank you."

"Oh why?"

"For you to still be able to trust me."

The gentleman's sincere words made Iori turn his head slightly.

She didn't want her husband to see her expression at this time.

"No...it doesn't matter. We don't have a choice anyway, right?"

The husband didn't say anything, he just smiled knowingly.

He held on to the door frame on the other side and walked outside.
