Chapter 178 Good News and Bad News
Chapter 178 Good News and Bad News
After listening to the analysis of the several cute knights, Pikachu also learned about their joint intrusion into the underground waterway and their rescue of Maria.
The most shocked person of all was Osgeda.
How could you trespass into such a dangerous place as the underground sewers without notifying any teachers?!
What if there's an ambush in the underground sewers and everyone can't get back?
Did these kids consider the consequences when they did this?
Because there was an elder present, he couldn't criticize him directly. He just glared at Eric, who felt guilty and ashamed and didn't dare to meet his gaze.
But if we were to ask whether we would make different choices if we could do it all over again.
Eric, on the other hand, also felt that he couldn't do it.
"I'm very sorry, Elder, this matter is..."
"Eh? Why are you apologizing? You did a great job!" Pikachu seemed completely oblivious to Osgeida's terrible expression, and appeared to be in a much better mood than when she arrived. "Not bad, not bad, very promising for your age!"
Eric was momentarily unsure whether the elder was being sarcastic or not.
He also remembered that when he reported the incident, Director Pa was so shocked that he jumped up and almost strained his back. Afterwards, he strongly condemned him for doing such a dangerous thing without informing the teacher.
"Oh, perfect timing! I have two pieces of good news to tell you."
What a coincidence?
Eric didn't understand something.
Did the Grand Elder not only not think they were wrong, but actually think it was good news?
Judging from Elder Os's expression, it seems so.
Pikachu stroked his beard, a hint of grievance suddenly appearing on his happy face: "However, one of the good news got to you beforehand, so I have to tell you another good news and a bad news."
The slight resentment dissipated: "Which of these two pieces of news would you like to hear first?"
Ulala, her face full of anticipation, chose the third option: "Is the good news that we learned in advance related to Grandpa?"
"Yes, it's related to Elder Kendrick. Just as you analyzed, Elder Kendrick—he's fine!"
"That's great!" With their hearts finally at ease, Ukunana and Ulala exchanged a smile, only to hear Elder Pikachu's voice filled with regret.
“He was supposed to be in trouble, but, hehe, I cured him! Unfortunately, I have some bad news for you—” He looked miserable to express how bad the news was, “He can’t redeem himself.”
"Elder Ken has no way to atone for his crimes?" Does this mean he will continue to be imprisoned in the dungeon? "Grand Elder, the position of Principal... I..."
Elder Ken has done so much for Meng Academy, so if anyone should be imprisoned, it should be the one who acted impulsively, not Elder Ken.
“Eh~” Pikachu waved his hand, “I have other plans for him.”
Osgeida: ...
For a moment, I was speechless, but I was mostly relieved for Elder Ken.
"However, you won't be able to see Elder Kendrick for a long time."
"It's alright, as long as Grandpa is safe and sound." As long as Grandpa is safe and sound, she, Ulala, and he, their family will definitely be reunited.
“Yes, yes, safety is the most important thing,” Pikachu praised the statement highly. “Unfortunately, Elder Situ is not safe right now.”
This time, there wasn't much suspense: "Just now, Elder Situ was... was... given a... by the enraged Dark Emperor..."
Their expressions of deep regret conveyed the outcome, rather than words.
"Elder, was the black magnet that Elder Situ took a fake?" Actually, Jianni had no interest in Situ Lang's fate at all.
He even felt that it was a bit too good for this traitor to be killed by the Dark Emperor.
After listening to Mi Yaxing's analysis of the process in the attic, all he wanted to know was whether the black magnet was really fake.
It must be true that the Dark Emperor is this angry.
“No,” Pikachu chirped, rejecting his idea, “the black magnet is real!”
Under everyone's shocked gaze, he explained, "However, it's not pure~"
Ou Pa: "Not pure?"
“I added something to it,” he said, looking a little smug, holding up his index finger to indicate the number one. “It’s a drop of Nyarlathotep’s Tear.”
"This Tear of Nyarlathotep severely injured the Dark Emperor, but at the same time I also angered the Dark Emperor. After that, the Dark Emperor will only launch more ferocious attacks to search for other Dark Spirit Stones."
"Huh?" The topic seemed to have taken another turn. "I remember there was a book that had always been kept in the Magic Warehouse of the Moe Academy, it was called..."
Miya Xing had a bad feeling: "Are you talking about 'Dark Files X'?"
“Yes, yes, that’s the book,” she said, her eyes sparkling with approval and a hopeful wink. “You know it?”
“Hmm…” Under Osgeida’s shocked gaze once again, Miya Xing lowered her head in embarrassment, “It seems that it has now been stolen by the dark undercover agents in the school.”
"There's a Dark spy in the school? It's returned to the Dark Emperor? Oh, those are two terrible pieces of news."
Osgeida felt that the bad mood on Pikachu's face was not even half as bad as the one in his mouth.
They even have the leisure to make a silly face.
Then I heard Pikachu muttering to itself in confusion:
"However, I remember there was a small seal on that book. It shouldn't have been discovered by the Dark Clan if it hadn't been opened. So how did the Dark Emperor find it?"
“Elder,” Miya Xing stepped forward somewhat awkwardly, “I… had looked through it before.”
"Oh~" He didn't blame her, but instead asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"Feeling unwell? I did feel a little bit at the time, but I felt much better after closing the book."
"Nothing else?"
Is there anything else?
Answer truthfully: "No."
"Elder," Miya Xing asked cautiously, "Will the Dark Emperor's taking that book lead to serious consequences?"
"Consequences?" Pikachu looked puzzled. "Will there be any consequences?"
After exchanging a bewildered glance with the staring Miya Star, he looked at Osgeda.
Osgeda had never heard of the Dark Archives before.
If nobody knows, then it doesn't exist.
what?
No one fully understood what he meant, but Pikachu had already stood up: "It's getting late, I should go back to the Elders' Council."
"but--"
But then again?
A group of people waited with curiosity for what would happen next.
"It seems you have another piece of good news you haven't asked me about."
In this not-so-short but rather long conversation, hadn't he already given several pieces of good and bad news back and forth?
“So,” Eric asked, with the expectation that he would likely receive bad news, “what is the good news?”
"Great news! The dark curse on your teacher Victoria has disappeared, and she can come back to teach!"
They received some truly wonderful news.
