Hillas, an elder master, observes Ron's promising but disruptive new teaching methods. Fearing Ron's "Resonance" approach will undermine the academy's traditional, standardized system and his own career, Hillas secretly decides to sabotage Ron's upcoming public lecture. He plans to engineer a "controlled failure" that will discredit Ron while highlighting the value of traditional methods, thus securing his own position.

"It’s like lowering the immunity of a healthy person."

Hillas sneered in his heart:

"You can’t notice any problem normally, but once encountering a slightly stronger ’virus,’ the disease will immediately flare up."

After completing the technical adjustments, he also prepared a detailed debugging report.

In this document that appears extremely professional, Hillas "inadvertently" mentioned the theoretical risks of "emotional entropy":

[During high-intensity historical projections, operators should carefully control the guiding strength to avoid triggering excessively intense emotional experiences.

According to theoretical calculations, when emotional fluctuations exceed the critical threshold, it may cause temporary instability in the system’s energy field...]

[Recommendation: If signs of abnormal fluctuations are detected, immediately activate the B-7 emergency protocol and intervene through the external spiritual damping field...]

These suggestions sound professional and responsible, laying the groundwork for his subsequent "against-all-odds" plot.

At the same time, he secretly prepared a set of standard emergency handling equipment.

It is an efficient damping force field generator that can quickly suppress any abnormal spiritual wave.

This equipment is cleverly hidden in the observatory under the Meditative Dome, ready to be activated at any time.

"Everything is ready."

The night before the public lesson, Hillas stood alone in the Meditative Dome, inspecting his "masterpiece."

The environment inside the dome is beautiful and peaceful, with a soft blue light creating a deep-sea feel.

Thousands of miniature runes flicker like stars, and the entire space emits a sacred and solemn atmosphere.

"Tomorrow, everyone will witness the true colors of a certain guy."

Hillas’ voice lightly echoed in the empty dome:

"Not those carefully selected success stories, but the vulnerable essence under real pressure."

"And I will step forward and save the students from crisis at the critical moment."

"By then, everyone will understand what ’stability above all’ and ’technology is king’ mean."

He turned and left the dome, everything was proceeding according to plan.

Tomorrow would be the most important performance of his life.

......

On the other side, Ron had just finished class and was opening the door when a sudden sharp pain came from his chest.

It was a warning from the Chaos Sheep Head bloodline, a sense of danger from deep instincts.

This feeling is like being entangled by invisible thorns, with every breath accompanied by a vague unease.

The Chaos bloodline has an almost animal-like keen intuition toward malice and threats, now frantically warning him.

"Someone wants to harm me..."

Ron instinctively stroked his chest, feeling the unusual restlessness.

But at this moment, the source of the threat was extremely unclear.

It was not direct physical danger, but more like a meticulously planned conspiracy brewing in the dark.

He frowned, realizing he must find out the truth ASAP.

Ron locked the door and activated the isolation runes.

He took out the astrology tools from the storage bag—crystal ball, star disc instrument, and a divination card deck.

This time, he chose the more challenging "Triple Divination Method."

This combines astrology, card reading, and crystal gazing in a complex prophetic magic.

First was the astronomical observation.

Ron infused magic power into the crystal ball, and the projection of the star map above Green Ring No.2 immediately appeared within the sphere.

But the arrangement of these constellations partially overlapped with the celestial phenomena of the Main World he remembered, yet was slightly different.

"The dominant constellation at this current time..."

Ron carefully observed the changes in the star map:

"The ’Web Weaver’ is at the zenith, the ’Hidden Eye’ rises in the east, and the ’Lead Iron Stars’ are slowly sinking westward."

This combination of celestial phenomena set off alarm bells in his mind.

The ’Web Weaver’ often represents meticulously planned conspiracies, while the ’Hidden Eye’ implies covert observation and calculation.

Ron then shuffled the cards and drew three, arranging them in the order of past, present, and future:

Past: [Hermit] (Reversed)

Present: [Gate of Chaos]

Future: [The Hanged Man]

The reversal of [Hermit] appearing in the past position suggests the absence of guidance or the wrong choice of direction.

But combined with the current situation, it more likely points to "someone intentionally concealing key information."

[Gate of Chaos] remains upright in the present position, symbolizing that the turning point has arrived.

The lion, eagle, man, and bull on the roulette symbolize the four elements, suggesting a major change involving multiple forces.

The most unsettling is [The Hanged Man].

This card appearing in the future position means that to gain higher wisdom, one must go through a painful "hanging" period.

The hanging posture indicates "voluntary sacrifice" and "thinking from another’s perspective."

Finally comes the deep interpretation of crystal gazing.

Ron immersed his spiritual power completely into the core of the crystal ball, allowing his consciousness to resonate with the information flow of higher dimensions.

Inside the crystal ball, a series of symbolic visions began to surface:

The first was a giant spider web, with each intersection shimmering different colored lights.

A blurry figure sat at the center of the web, gently plucking certain specific strings.

Whenever the strings vibrated, the entire network produced a chain reaction.

This vision clearly pointed to "manipulation."

Next, the vision transformed into a complex mechanical apparatus.

Countless gears interlocked with each other, but the entire apparatus operated at an extremely slow speed.

The largest main gear engraved with an eye symbol, and that eye was slowly turning toward Ron’s direction.

This hinted at the necessity of a "long-term layout."

The real game doesn’t happen overnight but requires patient, systematic planning.

When all the visions vanished, Ron slowly opened his eyes.

The entire divination process gave him clear yet unsettling information:

[Warning]: All current "coincidences" are not accidental.

There is an enemy observing and guiding the development of the situation in secret.

This intervention is both a threat and an opportunity.

[Guidance]: Short-term gains and losses are not important, true success requires long-term strategic planning.

The current focus should be on accumulating power and information to prepare for the critical moment in the future.

[Timing]: The decisive turning point has yet to arrive but is not far away.

Until that moment comes, maintaining low-profile and flexibility is more important than showing prominence.

Ron put away the divination tools, but the doubts in his heart remained. This divination result confirmed his instincts.

Today’s performance in the conference room was just a temporary win.

"Web Weaver at the top..."

He repeated the celestial warning in his heart:

"Looks like I need to be more cautious."
