TTW Chapter 183: Freedom Day (Patreon)

The style of Cassell Academy is somewhat similar to medieval architecture. The buildings are tall, surrounded by green lawns, crimson goose soft stone-paved paths, and classical architectural complexes. In the distance, on top of a building that resembles a church, white doves take off and land.

Lu Mingfei is still lost in unrealistic future fantasies when a sudden, harsh air-raid siren blares. The long whistle echoes in the sky, startling a flock of doves into flying high.

Lin Yi is also startled but comes to his senses belatedly.

According to the original storyline, today should be a "Freedom Day."

The next moment, at the staircase entrance of this building, a group of people in black combat gear, armed with M4s, appear. Without hesitation, they open fire. The security guards trying to stop them fall to the ground amidst the booming gunshots.

Because Lin Yi knew it was Freedom Day, he was aware that the bullets were specially made to only knock people unconscious. So, he remains calm.

However, Lu Mingfei is terrified. His legs give out, and he is dragged by Masashi Toyama into a narrow hallway. The invaders in black combat gear completely ignore these three targets. They speed past the narrow path, and people in deep-red combat suits rush out from the church. The eerily quiet campus suddenly turns into a battlefield. People pour out of every building. They are divided into groups based on their uniform colors, each person armed, firing mercilessly upon sight. Many are knocked down the moment they appear.

"What on earth is happening?"

"Is it a dragon clan invasion? Rioters? Or gangs?" Lu Mingfei asked shakily.

"It's a bunch of problem students," Goodrian shouts back, his face grim. He has to shout to be heard over the gunfire.

But just as he finishes speaking, a bullet whizzes by, hitting him square in the chest. A large cloud of blood bursts, and Goodrian falls straight to the ground.

Masashi Toyama, who tries to rush over to help, is shot in the back. He stumbles forward a few steps and doesn't get up again.

"Is this what you call problem students?" Lu Mingfei shouts out in disbelief.

People have genuinely fallen right before his eyes.

Lin Yi shrugged, unsure of how to explain himself. He shook his head, preparing to leave this troublesome place. He had no interest in fooling around with a bunch of kids. Just as he turned around, a burst of rapid gunfire suddenly rang out behind him. Lin Yi's eyes flicked to the side.

His brain immediately reacted, and he dodged from side to side. The bullets whizzed by through the empty air, not hitting him at all.

It seemed that some students had considered him an "enemy."

"I am not…"

Lin Yi wanted to explain, but another burst of gunfire answered him.

Well, these students were playing very professionally, all wearing earpieces and communicating through radios. He couldn't make himself heard.

Lin Yi was forced into a vortex of trouble.

Lu Mingfei felt he should be loyal and rush out to share the difficulties with his older brother.

But he really didn't have the courage. Those were guns, after all. One shot could take his life.

Those few students in black combat gear also realized that Lin Yi was a tough nut to crack. Some who thought they were quite skilled charged directly at him, intending to take him down in close combat.

It seemed he had no choice but to teach these kids a lesson.

Lin Yi was very controlled in his actions. While dodging their attacks, he gave each one a karate chop. In a few breaths, he had knocked down five or six people.

Meanwhile, in their radios, an entire squad went missing—a significant loss of manpower.

Lin Yi had just resolved the problem.

Before he could catch his breath, a series of high-speed bullets, loaded with immense kinetic energy, aimed directly at his head. Lin Yi knew he was being targeted. After dodging a few shots, he quickly took cover behind a protruding pillar—a blind spot for the shooters.

It must be their sniper.

Ordinary firearms didn't scare Lin Yi. His reaction speed and keen eyes could even capture the trajectory of a bullet in mid-air, giving him enough time to dodge before it hit him.

Moreover, the bullets the sniper used were Frijia bullets, which ordinary people could withstand but would leave hard-to-clean "blood stains" on clothing. And what's more, this tricky sniper was aiming at his handsome face. Did he want to turn it into a little red face?

Lin Yi can't afford to take this dumb loss.

On top of a high-rise building, a girl dressed neatly with a ponytail and black combat gear lies flat on the floor, holding a shiny black sniper rifle. The massive muzzle is still emitting blue smoke, and in the scope, the pillar where Lin Yi is hiding can be seen. Lin Yi is the first to 'escape' under her gun. How did he do it? Dodging bullets? It sounds somewhat absurd.

Even the strongest students at Cassell Academy probably couldn't do it.

The girl gritted her teeth and turned the gun away. She had to admit that Lin Yi had escaped. As long as he didn't come out of his hiding spot, she couldn't do anything. She began to look for a new target on the chaotic battlefield below, not at all concerned for her own safety; her team had already cleared the entire building when they charged up.

...

With refined marksmanship, each time she pulls the trigger, a member in a dark red combat suit is bound to fall. Nearly a third of the people on the entire battlefield were taken down by her. Just as she was feeling exuberant, who would have thought that a figure had been quietly watching her from behind for a long time.

Standing on the high-rise building, Lin Yi finally had the opportunity to overlook the whole situation. The two warring parties were dressed in black and blue combat suits respectively.

On the field, black and blue were now mixed together, indicating that the battle was at a stalemate.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The gunshots became more frequent. The field of vision was filled with 'corpses'; both black and blue team members were all down without exception.

The gunshots gradually became sparse, and the campus filled with 'bodies everywhere' returned to silence after the uproar. The lingering smoke slightly dissipated, and a deep and powerful voice echoed from all directions through a loudspeaker system, "Caesar, how many people do you have left? Do you want to continue?"

Under Lin Yi's witness, Caesar and Chu Zihang began their meeting.

Lin Yi is quite interested in these two supporting characters in the original story, both of whom are almost as charismatic as the main character.
