Genshin Impact: I, Heavenly Principle, Will Make Teyvat Supreme-Chapter 123: Are They All from Another World?

Saeko Busujima gripped the silver Western-style longsword in her hand. As a genius who had practiced kendo since childhood, she immediately sensed that this silver longsword was extraordinary.

Its sharpness was unimaginable—far surpassing even the finest ancient blades forged by renowned craftsmen. Moreover, she could distinctly feel the mysterious power contained within it.

It wasn't just Saeko Busujima; the other students also felt it.

With such legendary weapons in their hands, their fear completely dissipated. Now, they only wanted to swing their swords like the protagonists in movies and anime.

Yet, this was merely a standard-issue knight's sword, forged by the blacksmiths of the Western Knights' Order. Made from iron ore with a low silver content, it was meant for apprentice knights and only possessed a faint demon-repelling effect.

However, in this world without magic, anything from the world of Teyvat was akin to a legendary artifact.

The students gripped their silver swords tightly and followed closely behind Captain Jean as they rushed toward the stairs.

The earlier screams had already drawn numerous roaming undead, and the divine light had only managed to clear out those that had reached the rooftop.

The holy mark formed by Jean's Vision on the back of her hand emitted a gentle glow. Her Skyward Blade responded to her call as she spoke with devout sincerity:

"Anemo Archon, please guide us—"

In an instant, emerald wind elements swirled around her body before dispersing into shimmering strands of light that descended upon everyone behind her.

A soft glow emanated from each student's body. They all felt the protection of the wind—any attack against them would be repelled by this divine safeguard.

Even if an attack managed to break through, their bodies would instantly recover as if untouched. Furthermore, when they swung their swords, the wind itself would enhance their strikes.

"Amazing! Lady Jean is like a holy knight!"

"This is incredible!"

"We're not afraid of the undead anymore!"

"Yes! Let's all charge together!"

Saeko Busujima was the first to act, excitedly charging toward the undead roaming the hallway. With a single effortless swing, her sword cleanly severed an undead's head.

Slash!

Under the miraculous influence of the wind, any expended stamina instantly replenished, and her blade sliced through flesh like cutting through butter. She didn't even need to dodge the undead's attacks.

"Hahahaha!"

The thrill of battle and the sight of crimson splattering before her eyes sent a surge of exhilaration through Saeko Busujima.

Seeing her ferocity, the other students grew just as fervent, eagerly hacking down any undead she left behind.

Just hours ago, these creatures had been their classmates, but now they were nothing more than the undead. Granting them release was the only way to save them.

In mere minutes, the entire floor of the school building was cleared of undead. The surviving students, after receiving Jean's guidance, also became her devoted followers, just like the others.

After all, the miracles they had witnessed, Jean's divine beauty, and her mystical powers had shattered their perception of reality. If this wasn't real, then what was?

Saya Takagi slashed through the undead inside a classroom while calling out to the terrified students hiding in a cabinet.

"All survivors, gather over here!"

With that, she swung her sword, beheading another undead.

Rei Miyamoto recognized the undead that had just been slain. "Wait, isn't that... Takashi Komuro and Hisashi Igou?"

Saya Takagi replied, "Were they your friends? But they've already become undead. Killing them is the only way to save them."

Rei Miyamoto shook her head. "Not really friends, just childhood neighbors."

She then turned to the trembling students emerging from the cabinet. "Hurry up and follow us. We still have more people to save."

Although the surviving students didn't fully understand the situation, they knew they had been rescued. Scrambling to their feet, they rushed forward.

"Y-yes! Please don't leave us behind!"

"We'll follow you!"

As each classroom was cleared of undead, the students—now under the Wind's Blessing—gathered the survivors and regrouped with Captain Jean. She then shared her knowledge, bestowed them with the Wind's Blessing, and handed them silver swords.

Like the first group, they too became fervent believers and joined the rescue effort.

The snowball effect continued.

In less than twenty minutes, the entire school building had been purged of undead, and the number of surviving students had risen to over a hundred.

Their eyes burned with determination as they followed Jean out of the school building, shouting as they charged toward the undead drawn by their voices.

"Charge!"

"Kill them all!"

"Let's set them free!"

"May they find peace!"

After personally slaying undead, not only did the students feel no fear, but they grew even more exhilarated. Armed with holy swords and divine protection, even the undead's splattered fluids couldn't stain them.

Their battle cries echoed through the school, drawing in more and more undead from the buildings.

This indirectly saved the remaining survivors trapped within the school.

Roar... Roar...

Fujimi Academy, the largest high school in the city, originally had over a thousand students. By now, more than 70% had been turned into undead, and the number would have been even higher.

However, thanks to Jean's arrival and the students who had transformed into heroic warriors, over three hundred survivors still remained.

As the undead were lured away by the battle cries below, the surviving students and teachers cautiously emerged from their hiding spots to see what was happening.

One look, and their worldview was instantly shattered.

They saw their fellow students wielding holy swords, radiating divine light, and fighting valiantly—just like the sacred sword wielders from light novels.

"Who... Who are they?"

"Magic? Battle aura? Or divine blessings? This is unbelievable!"

"Are they from another world?"

"Mr. Shidou, do you know what's going on?"

Koichi Shido adjusted his glasses, his gaze flickering with uncertainty before he put on a falsely benevolent smile. "I don't know. Perhaps they encountered some kind of miracle. But either way, we've been saved."

"Everyone, shout for help! If they hear us, they'll rescue us too!"

"Come on, let's all call for help together. They'll definitely come for us."

The terrified students, desperate for salvation, were easily incited by his words. They shouted toward their battling classmates below, pleading for rescue.

The sudden cries distracted the fighters. If not for their divine protection, some would have been bitten.

Rei Miyamoto's face darkened as she glanced at the other school building's rooftop, instantly recognizing the voice.

"Koichi Shido! That scumbag!"

Her father, a police officer, had been investigating Shidou's father for corruption. As a result, Shidou had targeted her, forcing her to repeat a grade and isolating her from her peers. She despised him with a passion.

Yet in the next moment, she calmed down, looking at him as if he were already dead.

"Someone like him... Captain Jean will definitely eliminate him."

...

"Ms. Marikawa, it's such a relief that you're safe! Come with me to see Captain Jean."

A female student grabbed the confused, big-breasted, long-haired teacher and ran towards Captain Jean.

Shizuka Marikawa blinked in confusion. "Huh? Captain Jean? Is she the president of some club?"

"No, Ms. Marikawa, just follow me for now. The undead outside have been completely cleared, and it's safe now."

In less than an hour, over three hundred students had been rescued, and those who had received silver swords and the Wind's Blessing had purged all the undead from the school.

With the undead eliminated, Jean ceased using her power. Supporting so many people at once had been a huge drain on her, and now that they were safe, there was no need to continue.

All the surviving students and teachers gathered outside the school building.

"We survived! Thank goodness!"

"Thank you for saving us!"

"Seriously, thank you so much!"

"But... what exactly is going on?"

"Are you exorcists hidden among us all this time?"

"No, we don't have that kind of power. Captain Jean granted us this temporarily."

"Captain Jean? Is she the leader of some club in our school?"

"Can we become like you?"

"Quiet down, students!"

As the rescued students expressed their gratitude and confusion, Koichi Shido adjusted his glasses and stepped forward.

"Everyone, please, let's not bombard our saviors with questions. Allow me, as your teacher, to speak on our behalf."

Out of respect for his position, the students fell silent.

"First, let me sincerely thank you for saving everyone."

"However, we all saw it—you possess incredible powers. Now that the world has fallen into chaos, shouldn't we share this power so that more people can survive?"

Koichi Shido's eyes gleamed with scheming intent, though he feigned sincerity as he turned to the students behind him.

"Isn't that right, everyone?"

Just as the students were about to respond, a gust of emerald wind suddenly surrounded Koichi Shido.

"Huh? Mr. Shido?"

"What's happening?"

Koichi Shido was momentarily stunned before breaking into an excited grin. "Have I been blessed with that power too? Hahaha!"

At that moment, those who followed Jean quickly stepped aside, shouting fervently.

"Captain Jean!"

"Captain Jean!"

The surviving students turned to look and saw a girl approaching. She radiated an air of noble elegance, akin to the legendary King Arthur from anime. Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, and she wore a knight's uniform straight out of a fantasy tale, wielding a glowing holy sword.

Her very presence felt unreal, as if she had stepped out of another world.

"She's Captain Jean?"

"She looks just like King Arthur!"

"She must be a hero from another world!"

Even Koichi Shido was momentarily frozen in awe.

Jean gazed at him coldly. The knowledge she had gained informed her that this man was a despicable villain.

"That is not divine protection you have received—it is the Wind of Revelation, which exposes the true thoughts of evildoers for all to hear."

The moment she spoke, Koichi Shido's inner thoughts were carried by the wind for everyone to hear:

Hahaha! The old world is over! The apocalypse is my paradise!

The strong can do whatever they want!

With my skills, I can brainwash these students and have my way with them.

I didn't expect gods or supernatural powers to exist... but if they only favor the righteous, then they're useless to me.

These students have obtained incredible powers. I must get my hands on them.

How? It's simple—manipulate them. They'll crave power too. A little persuasion and they'll pressure those gifted ones into giving it up.

After all, they're just students. Under enough peer pressure, they'll surrender their power.

Once I have that power...

Koichi Shido's face turned deathly pale as cold sweat poured down his forehead. His pupils trembled in terror.

His deepest, most sinister thoughts had just been exposed for all to hear.

The surrounding students' expressions darkened with disgust and hatred as they glared at him.

This vile teacher had been manipulating them all along.

He had been plotting against Captain Jean!

Koichi Shido stumbled back in panic and shouted, "No! It's all lies! I'm a teacher! I'd never think such things!"

Damn it! My inner thoughts were exposed by this wretched power!

That woman—Captain Jean—she's a demon! I have to kill her!

"This is all a trick! Don't believe her!"

As long as I insist that she's a demon, I can turn this around.

But the students continued hearing his inner thoughts, and their revulsion reached its peak.

Who would they believe?

Wasn't it obvious? The divine light of Captain Jean's sword was proof of her righteousness.

Moreover, she had saved them all.

"Scumbag! Ugh!"

"Just die already, you disgusting teacher!"

"Kill him now!"

"How dare you plot against Captain Jean, you beast!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

Fueled by their devotion to Jean, the students erupted in fury. Koichi Shido's face contorted in horror as he scrambled backward, his body shaking.

"You witch! You're a demon!" He raved, pointing at Jean before attempting to charge at her.

To him, Jean was physically weaker—if he could just grab her...

Before he could reach her, Rei Miyamoto dashed forward and slashed her sword at him. "Scum like you, die!"

"AAAAHHHH!"

Koichi Shido fell to the ground, screaming in agony.

Jean's devoted followers didn't hesitate. They had slain countless undead by now and no longer feared taking a life—especially that of a villain like him. Scum like him had no place in their new world.

"AAAAAHHHH!" Koichi Shido's wails grew weaker until they faded entirely.

The other students watching were pale with fear, terrified that they might be next.

But then Jean transferred information directly into their minds.

After a brief moment of shock, their expressions changed. Their eyes blazed with fanatic devotion as they became her loyal followers.

Jean was unfazed by Koichi Shido's brutal end. She understood that villains like him, if left alive, would only continue to harm the innocent.

Taking a deep breath, she declared loudly, "All of you, heed my command!"

The students turned their burning gazes toward her.

"Captain Jean!"

Jean extended her hand, and silver swords materialized before every student.

Alongside the swords, several books appeared—spellbooks containing basic incantations. These were actually apprentice notes from the Knights of Favonius, similar to the one-star catalyst Apprentice's Notes from the game.

"I hereby establish the Knights of Favonius! You will be the first apprentice knights. I shall now teach you the ways of the sword and the basics of magic."

Saeko Busujima's eyes gleamed with excitement, her face flushed with anticipation.

The students erupted into wild cheers.

"Long live Captain Jean!"

Learning swordsmanship and magic—the kind that only existed in anime—was now a reality!
