The Gentleman at the End
Chapter 387 - Chapter 387 Chapter 386 Communication Under the Starry Night

Chapter 387: Chapter 386: Communication Under the Starry Night Chapter 387: Chapter 386: Communication Under the Starry Night Before Yi Chen arrived, only Principal Daislin mastered and excelled in the rare and difficult Star Magic, and she had ranked first in two consecutive comprehensive Prophet evaluations.

The “Rule” she formulated was simple yet effective, widely used in human villages and cities outside the organization, and it also significantly reduced the direct or indirect deaths of at least a hundred gentlemen each year due to her forecasts.

Her office, as the axis of the Omphalo-Centric-Academy (OCA), also served as the central Array that maintained the Eternal Night Barrier, privately rated as one of Zion’s top ten most mysterious areas.

Rumors had it that the materials used in this office were crafted from meteorite debris that Principal Daislin brought back from the Old World, which allowed her to grow rapidly without any need for communication.

More rumors claimed that Principal Daislin had established contact with an Old World force related to Star Formations, and the materials used to construct her office were gifts from this force.

Using the traits of her illness, Principal Daislin could achieve ‘effect amplification’ with her office and directly connect with Stargazers of the Old World,

Thus, she could communicate, learn, and maximize her comprehension of the stars without ever leaving her office.

It was for this reason,

That hardly any of the organization’s founders, even those existing today, had ever visited her office.

…

The night the eighth “Skin Promotion” ended,

The principal’s office.

Due to the isolation of the Star Barrier, no sound could be heard outside the office,

But inside, the situation appeared strange, with occasional sounds of communication followed by the squelching of flesh and the slapping of skin.

The room’s fireplace light intermingled with the starry river,

On the dark central sofa lay a woman nearly two meters tall, holding a wineglass, her skin appearing bouncy and smooth as if it had been floating in deep space for a long time.

At the end of the sofa sat a young man, supporting her lower legs with his palms, his fingers digging into her flesh at varying depths to provide different intensities of stimulation.

Concentrating and holding this position for over an hour,

Sweat continuously slid down the young man’s face, maintaining this perfect physical control was even more exhausting than fighting.

After a long conversation,

Principal Daislin was shocked, yet filled with hope for the future of the organization, upon learning through Yi Chen of the World to which the Insomniac Galon was connected.

“Just as expected from Special Record Combat Power, I hadn’t expected Galon could strike such a tentative collaboration with such a world, even borrowing its power. As he becomes the First Gentleman and gains access to better skin resources, this relationship will deepen. I am truly looking forward to the future shape of our organization,” she said.

“Special Record Combat Power?!” Yi Chen exclaimed, startled by the term, his fingers inadvertently squeezing too hard.

Ah!~

The bone-deep pinch made Daislin cry out.

“My, my, that’s ten minutes of compensation,” he said.

“Stop pressing! That’s about enough… Equal Exchange, I will infuse star particles in the bathtub area later, you can soak all night,” she responded.

“Alright, by the way, Principal, did you know from the start that Galon was categorized by the organization as ‘Special Record Combat Power,’ just like Teacher Zede?”

“Of course, I participated in selecting candidates for Special Record Combat Power,” she replied.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If I had known, I would have given up competing. After all, most of the time after my Extreme Breakthrough, I ended up getting beaten up,” he lamented.

“When you came here, you showed a very persistent attitude towards the position of the First Gentleman, so I didn’t say much.

Moreover, as an Audience, I would be present, and I had confidence in saving your life even if Galon completely lost control.

Plus, didn’t you gain a lot from the entire process?” she remarked.

“Hm~ Speaking of which, shouldn’t you also be classified as ‘Special Record Combat Power’?” he inquired.

“No, although ‘Special Record Combat Power’ is directly related to strength, there’s another crucial factor–[Instability]. According to the organization’s assessment standards, both my mind and illness are considered quite stable,” she explained.

“Only one individual among the Prophet group has been labeled as ‘Special Record Combat Power.'”

“One person… Prophet Yuri?”

“Yes, that bald man has been able to kill since birth, and the killing within him grew with age. Even sleeping could significantly increase it.

However, more than a decade ago, he found a way to control the killing and is currently doing quite well with self-sealing. If he can continue to be stable, the organization may even remove his ‘Special Record Combat Power’ label.”

“How many ‘Special Record Combat Powers’ does our organization have?”

Principal Daislin slightly sat up and rubbed Yi Chen’s forehead with her fingers.

“Are you trying to extract the organization’s highest level secrets?”

“I can only tell you about Zede, Galon, and Yuri, since you’ve already had very deep, even deeper than organizational, interactions with them.

In any case, the total doesn’t exceed ten people, each with their own personality… Oh right! At the last high-level meeting, your name came up in the organization’s new planning regarding ‘Special Record Combat Power.’

Although I personally oppose it since you, William, are still considered stable.

But considering various situations, there are too many unknown and chaotic elements in you, it indeed also fits the category.

Hopefully, after you return from the Old World this time, you will also earn that label.”

“I’m considered too, huh…”

Remembering how he was single-handedly beaten by Teacher Zede and his defeat in the Skin Promotion leaves Yi Chen scratching his head, clearly aware that he’s not yet up to par.

“Your performance during the Skin Promotion has been noticed by the organization, and in my personal view, it’s quite commendable. It meets the standards of historical ‘First Gentlemen.’

Especially the last stand against Galon using illusion techniques that integrated the sun, moon, and stars… By the way, did you come up with that on the spot? After all, the interplay of sun, moon, and stars isn’t yet perfect, and some of the connections were quite rough.”

“During a confrontation with real dead at the Twilight Clinic, I used a similar eyeball technique.

Although it was improvised, I did have some foundation, and Grape’s assistance was indispensable. Alone, I couldn’t have achieved that, especially since Galon is a monster in terms of spiritual power.”

“Great, open thinking and thoughts are essential for venturing into deep space. I personally suggest you continue developing on this path.

Combine the evil technique associated with Ashen Eyeball, the illusion related to Moon Transformation Disease, and the star magic you learned from me. If you keep deepening and perfecting them, they will surely become an important trump card for you.

Let’s focus on this for your special training here as well.

Alright~ I’m going to run the bath for you.”

As the Principal stood up, her calves, pressed down for a solid one and a half hours, trembled.

When Yi Chen instinctively moved to help her, he was met with a glare full of menace.

In the misty bathroom,

Principal Daislin lay on the floor beside the bathtub, stirring the warm water with her arms and infusing it with ‘Star Particles’ she had collected.

Yi Chen just stood at the door watching it all.

“Speaking of which, do you get bored staying here all the time, Principal?”

Principal Daislin saw right through the subtext of Yi Chen’s words, “You want me to accompany you to the Old World? If I leave, the Academy, even the entire organization, especially the areas below, would become chaotic… You should just take your girlfriend with you instead, I can’t leave here for the time being.

Moreover, I can maintain special contact with ‘that side’ even from my office.

This ‘Star Particles’ are from like-minded friends in the Old World,

Did you really think it’s that easy to comprehend the stars? The catastrophe caused a massive fall of stars in the Old World, countless stargazers now eternally rest, and the Platinum Blood grows thin, barely surviving with the aid of our starry skies.

I need to continuously show them the Image of the Stars. In return, they provide me with the meteorite debris from the Old World, which I am now pouring into your bathtub.”

“Principal, you could also be considered some sort of Connector, right?”

“Don’t confuse me with the First Gentleman; I don’t need to supply an entire organization nor be subjected to such constraints. I am me, just a gentleman who likes to gaze at the starry sky.”
