BXBX NOVEL Chapter 268 The Vault [3]
Nodding her head, Professor Seraphina slowly walked off the field, glancing at the forest nearby with every step.
Seeing almost every student gathered in one area, their backs to the fence with the construction sign, Kaneki glanced at Kazuki.
Seeing him nod his head, Kaneki smiled before taking a step forward.
After watching the fight from the battle royale, Kaneki was ready to do some fighting himself.
He couldn\'t let his own blood outshine him, could he?
Raising his hand, Kaneki swiped at the air in front of him.
In the next moment, a sleek and clean pitch-black katana appeared in his hands.
The katana, in contrast to the shining sun above them, seemed to swallow up all the light around it.
It wasn\'t just any katana... it was an S-rank magical artifact.
Convincing his father to purchase and trade for the katana had been a rough and tiring endeavor, but Kaneki, with one hundred percent certainty, could say it was worth it.
Nicknamed "The Devourer of Light," the katana was one of the less than fifty S-ranked sword artifacts in the world.
Lightly gripping the katana in his hand as he walked towards the group of students, Kaneki slashed at the air in front of him as a test.
*SWOOSH*
As his katana gracefully moved through the air, it seemed to cut through the sun\'s rays that reflected downward on the grass.
Finishing his test swing, Kaneki stared at the area of air in front of him.
It was pitch-black.
The small area of pitch blackness in front of Kaneki stood out amongst the clear and white air all around him, seeming almost like a cloud of fog.
Yet, it wasn\'t.
It was regular old air...there was just no light to make it transparent.
Weighing the katana in his hand, Kaneke almost felt like he wasn\'t actually holding anything, as it seemed almost resistant to the properties of gravity.
Looking back at Kazuki, who was behind the fence and standing next to the hole, Kaneki saw that he was holding up five fingers with his hand.
That five fingers turned to four the next second.
"...a countdown."
Gripping the katana, Kaneki sighed before activating his transportation ability.
"Reality Phase," or the ability to phase through any physical inanimate and animate objects, even humans, for a short period of time.
During this period, Kaneki becomes invisible to the human eye, but he can still damaged and hurt by spells and attacks.
Like a ghost, Kaneki sped up before phasing through the hundreds of students gathered in the courtyard.
Seamlessly passing by all the students, Kaneki\'s ability was deactivated just as he reached the fence surrounding the hole.
At that point, Kazuki only had one finger up, with his other hand gripping an ocean-blue spear.
As Kazuki slowly lowered his last figure, Kaneki suddenly came up with a plan.

Imagine if news spread that the principal sat back and did nothing while two alumni courageously defended the academy from djinns.
The principal said to wait for her to take out the djinns, but Kaneki had plans to do anything of the sort.
At that moment, the whole forest suddenly seemed to shudder, as the trees began to shake frantically as if they were unstable.
Kazuki, lowering his last finger, simply stood still as countless figures emerged from the forest, revealing themselves to the students.
However, they didn\'t just stand there and wait.
Instead, the djinns, one by one, emerged from the forest before making a mad dash across the courtyard toward the students, who were facing away from them.
However... there was just one thing in their way.
A giant hole and the fence that surrounded it.
Snickering as tens of djinns began running at the two of them, Kaneki muttered.
"You know, if they hadn\'t become djinns, I really think they could have become famous track stars!"
Flipping his spear, Kazuki pointed the tip at the incoming horde of djinns before smiling and replying.
"I\'m planning on meeting an old friend today. Could we hurry this up and skip the jokes?"
Shaking his head, Kaneki jumped over the fence before also readying his katana.
"Kazuki...you uncultured fiend! What\'s the point of fighting if you can\'t say witty one-liners while fighting!"
Behind them and the fence, the hundreds of students began to turn around, noticing the countless djinns swarming towards them.
Raising his hand, Kaneki made his final announcement as temporary leader of the school.
"Teachers, take care of your students. We\'ll take care of them."
Without any more words, Kaneki slung his katana over his shoulders, letting the tip of the katana hang behind him before dashing forward.
Why would he wait for the crowd to reach him?
Jumping over the gigantic hole, Kaneki swung his katana mid-air, decapitating the first djinn as he landed.
As the area around the katana\'s slash turned black, Kaneki immediately met five more djinns head-on.
Dodging an axe swing by ducking, Kaneki lowered his katana while doing a full 360 as he was crouching.
Instantly, the five djinns surrounding Kaneki dropped to their floor as Kaneki effortlessly cut their longs.
As five more spots of darkness popped up, Kaneki glanced at his katana, which was now covered by the horrid blood of djinns.
Seeing Kaneki slay six of them within less than five seconds, the crowds of djinns began to slow to a halt.
Pointing his katana downwards, Kaneki leaned against the hilt of his sword before shaking his head and saying.
"It\'s a bit too late for that...you get what you get, and you don\'t throw a fit!"
Feeling his cooldown reset, Kaneki immediately activated Reality Phase before rushing forward.
Phasing through the horde of djinns, Kaneki smiled as he reappeared behind the horde of more than a hundred djinns.
With Kaneki behind them... the only way the djinns could go was forward.
