At noon, Philip left the class, exhausted. Following him from behind were his classmates discussing the topic earlier. "No. To find the derivative of 25 cos sin squared tan x, you should multiply them first with d over dx to get 50 sec squared x…." "Wait! Where did you get d/dx?" "Idiot! That is the derivative solution!" "I know. But how did they arrive with that?" "I don't know. Shouldn't it be given?… Let's ask Conrad!" When Philip heard his name, he quickly sneezed and fluttered…

Flip. Flip. Flip. Philip's disturbing action continued for an hour before a librarian came and put a stop to his behavior. The students around rejoiced and thanked the librarian with their shimmering gazes. Philip humbly apologized and closed all the books.

"I have no intention to kill you," Philip said while lowering the gun. He then crouched down and faced Emile with a detached expression. "I am just doing my mission, you see." He paused as if mulling about something, "Yes. You are right. I did kick Loen in the past. But I had no intention of killing him. If I had, his spine would break like yours." Emile trembled upon hearing Philip's words. Based on Philip's strength, resorting to a physical fight was an easy matter for him. But he didn't. He just…

Wind tentacles surged forward with an alarming force, seemingly intent on strangling Philip. Upon seeing them, Philip immediately sprang away and sought refuge behind a nearby tree. Luckily, he managed to dodge and quickly tried to talk things out with Emile, "Wait! Why are you suddenly attacking me?" Philip screamed in frustration. A fight with Emile was the last thing he wanted to arise. "Are you not afraid to incur the wrath of our clan?" Philip asked furiously, trying to bluff his way out…
