Chapter 277: Haruto Divides into Three Groups
🕑 Added 2025-01-21 11:57:49 +0000 UTC"Yes. I will create another Shadow Clone to continue the task here, while you must leave immediately and convey that information," replied the other Shadow Clone firmly.
"Understood." The first Shadow Clone nodded before its body slowly faded into thin smoke, disappearing from the room.
Meanwhile, the remaining Shadow Clone quickly formed hand seals, creating a new Shadow Clone to replace its recently vanished companion. The room fell silent again, with only the faint sound of footsteps from the servants outside.

On the other side, the memories of the Shadow Clone that had disappeared underground suddenly flowed into Haruto's mind. Haruto, who was sitting in a safe place, observed the system screen with a sharp gaze.
A thin smile appeared on Haruto's lips as he saw the notification that popped up:
[Mission: Investigate the issues at the City Academy. Find plans that could cause significant damage to the City Academy]
[Reward: 1 Card Lottery Voucher]
[Mission Completed!]
[Congratulations! You have received 1 Card Lottery Voucher!]
Seeing the notification, Haruto smiled widely, satisfied with the results. This time, the information received was truly important: a grand plan from the Soul Collector group intending to attack the City Academy.
"With this, the game has just begun," Haruto murmured as he clenched his fists, his eyes shining with confidence.
"So, what should we do?" one of the Shadow Clones asked Haruto, the tone of the Clone sounding full of concern.
"Are we going to attack them directly? But their numbers are overwhelming! They could reach tens of thousands!" another Shadow Clone added, its expression tense.
"At most, we only have about twenty or thirty people," said another Shadow Clone, its tone more realistic, reflecting the situation they faced.
Haruto took a deep breath, then looked at them with a determined gaze. "We will not fight in the usual way. Listen carefully to this plan."
Haruto crossed his arms over his chest before continuing. "First, we will divide the team into three groups. The first group will be responsible for guarding this place, ensuring we still have a safe point. The second group will infiltrate the Soul Collector's base to plant Explosive Papers at various strategic points."
"We will not confront them directly. Instead, we will blow up their base and bury them alive. This is the best way, even though the impact will affect the entire Southern District."
Haruto paused for a moment, giving the Shadow Clones time to digest his plan. "Meanwhile, the third group will spread information to the residents of the Southern District. Tell them that this District will face a great disaster. Inform them that two crazy groups are fighting, and the entire District could be destroyed if they do not leave immediately."
Haruto's voice became more assertive. "However, if anyone does not believe or refuses to leave, we will not force them. We are not holy heroes tasked with saving everyone. We will only save those who are willing to listen and save themselves. That's it."
The lengthy explanation left the atmosphere silent for a moment, before the Shadow Clones nodded in unison. "Understood," they replied in chorus.
Haruto then formed hand seals, creating more Shadow Clones. Once a sufficient number was reached, Haruto quickly divided them into three groups according to the plan he had outlined.
The first group remained on guard at the location to secure the hideout. The second group, cautiously, began to infiltrate the Southern District. They moved in the shadows, avoiding detection, and silently defeated the guards of the Soul Collector's base.
