Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1924 - 1925: Revisiting Familiar Grounds

Just as Feng Yuan’s thoughts were becoming more scattered, Long Boduo had already finalized the style of the clothing. Since everyone was planning to attend the celebration event starting tomorrow, they were assured it would be expedited, and if all went well, it should be completed by tonight.

Although Long Boduo had it sorted out, Veronia wasn’t as quick. Whether it was due to Veronia being overly picky or some other reason, ultimately, Veronia suggested Feng Yuan and the others leave first, and she would find them once she was done.

After thinking about it, Feng Yuan didn’t say much. Veronia shouldn’t cause any major disturbances right now, so even if not around, there shouldn’t be any trouble.

After leaving the props company, Feng Yuan, who planned to visit his former high school next, especially asked Long Boduo if he wanted to join. Hearing Feng Yuan’s question, Long Boduo thought for a moment and said,

"It seems there’s nothing special, but I remember you have a favorite food there? Maybe we can try it then?"

For Long Boduo, going anywhere was fine, especially since the clothes would be ready by the evening. Separating now but meeting again later would be too troublesome for Long Boduo.

Moreover, he was also curious whether Mao Mu Second Middle School’s buildings had any issues.

It should be known that to prevent damage from Spirit Beast attacks, most buildings in the city were connected to the City Defense System. However, this attack forcibly separated these buildings from their original locations, which must have had quite an impact.

Thankfully, Maomu City had already begun its plan to rebuild the City Defense System, so currently, as long as schools ensured the buildings’ integrity to prevent them from naturally collapsing, it was sufficient.

The defensive barriers that should have appeared during the attack were all ineffective, meaning that soon, it might be prohibited for Spirit Beasts to act at will on campus grounds.

But this wasn’t really an issue, as there weren’t many people in academies and universities who would let their Spirit Beasts run amok in places like classrooms.

Upon reaching Mao Mu Second Middle School by bus, looking at the tightly closed gate, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,

"I wonder if the gatekeeper is around at this time."

"Why not just go and see?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan speechlessly and started walking toward the gatehouse. Seeing the three approaching the school, the gatekeeper poked his head out of the gatehouse, strangely asking loudly,

"Who are you here to see?"

"Hello, we’re students who just graduated this year, and we wanted to see our former teachers..."

Fearing Feng Yuan might say something startling, Qi Chen quickly stepped forward and said this. After listening to Qi Chen, the gatekeeper thought for a moment and said,

"I can’t let you in directly, not even if you were still studying here."

Saying this, he patted a bulletin posted nearby and said,

"See this? The school is undergoing a comprehensive inspection now; if you went in and something happened, it wouldn’t be good to explain it."

"Tsk!"

Pulling a face, Feng Yuan glanced around, preparing to climb over the wall as he used to. Qi Chen noticed the shift in Feng Yuan’s gaze and hastily stopped him.

This guy, better not cause trouble by sneaking in now; if caught, things will get complicated!

Tamur circled around Feng Yuan and said,

"Need me to open the door for you?"

"What are you trying to do!"

The gatekeeper stared at them vigilantly; from his many years of experience, he figured they might be trying to sneak into the school. What were they up to?!

"Feng Yuan? What are you doing here?"

At that moment, Gladys curiously approached, surprised to encounter Feng Yuan there.

Seeing Gladys, the gatekeeper asked suspiciously,

"You know them?"

"Of course, Mr. Xu. Are they trying to go into the school?"

"Yes, by the rules, I can’t let them in at this time."

"Hehe, you won’t be able to stop them anyway~"

Hearing Mr. Xu’s words, Gladys chuckled, hinting slightly that Feng Yuan had the means to sneak in, and Mr. Xu wouldn’t be able to stop him.

Waving her hand, Gladys said,

"Alright then, just think of it as me taking them in~"

"Sigh, I’m not being stubborn, it’s just that the school’s not safe inside now. With the foundations of the first and second teaching buildings damaged, and a hollow under the fourth, if they ran around, there would be trouble."

Sighing, Mr. Xu said helplessly. Chuckling softly, Gladys said,

"Don’t worry, he won’t get into trouble~ After all, someone has Divine Beasts following them, right~"

Tamur circled around Feng Yuan, looking curiously at Gladys, not understanding her intentions.

Feng Yuan seemed to have guessed something and asked,

"Are you here to see Mr. Yan?"

"What else?"

"Don’t worry, I just want to ask for a little help. After all, you heard it too; the foundations of the first and second teaching buildings are damaged and must be repaired. But... Mr. Yan and the others are not strong enough~"

Gladys chuckled and said she indeed wanted Feng Yuan’s help; there was no other way. Repairing buildings, aside from Divine Beasts, can only be easily handled by Spirit Beasts with the corresponding attributes.

However, among the Beastmasters at Mao Mu Second Middle School, there wasn’t a suitable one, or Gladys wouldn’t mention Feng Yuan’s Divine Beast, just pointing out his strength was sufficient.

For Gladys’ request, Feng Yuan agreed without hesitation. It was just a small favor; repairing these things really wasn’t too troublesome.

"Foundation damage? Wasn’t the whole thing moved into a Different Space at the time?"

Long Boduo looked towards Feng Yuan, puzzled, though he hadn’t been caught in the Abnormal Space, he had understood the situation from other Divine Beasts. This made him wonder.

Could the school buildings be that fragile?

"Seems like there’s a space misalignment?"

Gladys held her chin in her hand and said; she wasn’t too clear on the details, since she wasn’t involved in the inspections. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Perfectly normal, Abnormal Spaces inherently have spatial errors, let alone when forcibly transferring space, influence from the City Defense System also comes into play. However, repair might be... somewhat tricky."

Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan said, mainly because Agunas wasn’t around, otherwise, using its Time Series ultimate move would make repairs much simpler.

"Feng Yuan?"

Mr. Mu, their former headteacher, said in surprise upon seeing Feng Yuan; she hadn’t expected to run into him here at this time.

Wave hand, Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

"We had some free time today and thought to come and check the situation. How is it? Are the inspections and repairs done?"

"For now, no. Our Spirit Beasts aren’t proficient in these matters. However, Maomu City has dispatched a team, expected to come tomorrow to assist."

Shaking her head with a smile, Mr. Mu said. Without the manpower sent by Maomu City, she suspected it would take at least a week. Though only two days were left, the problems discovered by then wouldn’t take long to fix for the professional engineering team, they could finish it in a few hours.

They hadn’t come yet simply because schools like Maomu University had larger premises, which needed attention first before the others.

"I see, but I think we could help check things too."

Feng Yuan thought and said, as Tamur circled around him, offering,

"Perhaps, I can help."

"Then... please, take care~"

Feng Yuan hesitated briefly but smiled, agreeing, though uncertain about Tamur’s abilities, as the Time Series Divine Beasts were beyond the usual scope of Divine Beasts.

Tamur nodded and after circling him once, began flying around the entire Mao Mu Second Middle School campus. Mr. Mu curiously asked Feng Yuan,

"Is that... a new friend of yours?"

"Yes, though I’m unsure if it inconveniences it."

Nodding, Feng Yuan replied with some hesitation, while Long Boduo glanced in Tamur’s departing direction and said,

"Probably not, but if it turns out to be too troublesome, we won’t push it. Though I didn’t expect the school without people to be... a bit eerie?"

Speechlessly, Feng Yuan replied to Long Boduo,

"I think you’ve been reading too many horror stories lately..."
