Ah?” Jacklyn froze for a second, her mind going completely blank. “Wait… what are you even talking about?”

Those two weird men seal off the entire area, and the tension in the air turns suffocating almost instantly. Everyone else looks on edge, ike they are barely breathing. But Yvette and Ginny just stand there, calm as ever, like none of this even fazes them. That alone lready feels strange to me.

Now they were saying there was nothing to worry about because Leander was here.

She honestly had no idea what that was supposed to mean.

Does that mean Leander can protect us and make sure we walk out of this unharmed?

Jacklyn suddenly remembered what Jade had said earlier, about how Leander once took down the entire karate team at Crestgate High School by himself.

know he can fight. I know he is good. But no matter how skilled he is, he is still human. Julian and those two men in black are on a vhole other level. They stand suspended in midair, as if gravity does not apply to them. A casual flick of their wrists looks powerful nough to split mountains apart. This is far beyond human limits.

n a situation like this, even if there were ten Leanders, she could not convince herself that he would be able to keep them safe.

‘vette and Ginny did not answer her question. They simply exchanged a knowing smile.

hey had no idea how strong those two men in black really were. But in their world, the concept of Leander losing to anyone had ¡ever even existed.

Especially after the video they had seen online not long ago, the one where he cut down a fighter jet with a single sword strike. They had been completely stunned. From that moment on, they saw him as untouchable.

He can even destroy a supersonic fighter jet and go head–to–head with a fully modernized military force. What on earth could stand in is way?

(vette noticed Leander hadn’t made a single move. Curiosity got the better of her. “Lean, do you think Mr. Lowell can actually beat hose two?”

That was when Leander finally lowered his gaze to her. “If it were one–on–one, he’d have about a seventy percent chance of winning,” he said calmly. “But if they team up on him, that drops to fifty at best. And that’s assuming he isn’t injured. He’s been carrying internal damage for years. In a short burst, he could hold them off. Maybe even gain the upper hand. But if it turns into a drawn–out fight, he’s losing. No question.”

Jacklyn stood off to the side, completely baffled. She looked at Leander like he was some kind of anomaly, almost unreal in her

eyes.

There were so many people watching. Even campus standouts like Victor had gone quiet, their expressions tight and serious. Yet Leander looked almost relaxed. He spoke with easy confidence, breaking down the odds as if he were analyzing a game rather than a life–and–death fight. She could hardly wrap her mind around it.

What struck her most was how deliberate and structured he sounded, every word falling into place with unsettling precision. Even from nearly a hundred meters away, he seemed to grasp every detail of the fight unfolding between them. The more he spoke, the

more unreal it all felt to her.

She was still standing there in stunned disbelief when Yvette’s next question caught her completely off guard, leaving her frozen in place.

Yvette’s eyes shimmered, bright and playful. A faint smile curved her lips. “What about you?”

Leander glanced at her but didn’t answer. Instead, he let out a soft laugh. The confidence in his eyes and the faint, almost dismissive curve at the corner of his mouth said everything he chose not to say.

Yvette and Ginny exchanged a look. They understood.

Ginny tilted her head, curiosity written all over her expression. “You just said Mr. Lowell won’t win. So you’re not stepping in?”

“Step in?” He shook his head lightly. “Mr. Lowell is a legend in Ravenridge Senior High’s history. The man has pride. He’s poured years of his life into Ravenridge Senior High. This is his fight. He’s going to give everything he’s got to protect the Ravenridge Senior High students. That’s his decision, and I’m not about to get in the way. Besides, this is his grudge, his destiny with the Twin Ghosts of Blightwood. Until the very last moment, he doesn’t want anyone else stepping in!”

Yvette and Ginny nodded, though only half–understanding, their brows still furrowed.

“But what if Mr. Lowell gets seriously hurt by those two?”

He let out a soft chuckle and shook his head, a cold glint flickering in his eyes. “Relax. With me around, nothing’s going to happen to Mr. Lowell or anyone else here.”

His voice carried a confidence that felt unshakable, a kind of commanding aura that dared everything to challenge him.

Jacklyn, unable to hold back any longer, grabbed his arm. “Leander, you’re not joking, are you? You can actually take on those two guys in black?”

He tilted his head and lightly tapped her forehead. “Hey, kid, stop asking so many questions. Just sit tight and stay out of trouble.”

Hearing his calm, easy smile, Jacklyn felt a strange sense of relief wash over her, though doubt still lingered in her chest.

Does Leander really have the power to go up against those two? I mean, no matter how strong he is, he’s still barely twenty, only a couple of years older than me.

Their conversation was quiet, so no one else noticed. Around them, the rest of the hall was staring at the sky, frozen, not daring to move an inch.

Many of the girls had their hands clasped tightly, silently hoping Julian would unleash his whole strength and completely take down the two men in black.

The sky darkened as black handprints shimmered with a sinister glow, completely overpowering the golden walls. In the next instant, a sharp crack split the air, and the golden barrier shattered into pieces.

Crack!

The massive black hand tore through the clouds. Within the storm, Julian’s eyes were ice cold. He held one hand upright at his chest and pushed forward in a single, decisive motion. “Golden Seall”

The ancestors of the Lowells had once been lay disciples of the Suncrest Order of the Hidden Path, but they were exceptional. They mastered multiple Awakened Way martial arts, blending them into a cohesive system, and eventually forged a style unique to the Lowells. Almost every technique carried a hint of the Awakened energy, yet each strike packed unstoppable power.
