Maiden, Have You Learned Your Lesson? (5.5K)

It wasn't until the three little girls thoroughly thrashed her that she realized their strength was not to be underestimated.

But what she was concerned about was whether there would be any problems on the other side...

"Since you're ready, let's stop talking and get started."

"A swift and decisive victory."

After Mahiro said to begin, the three little girls looked at each other, but Mibu Asaka was the first to make a move.

He immediately used the "Freezing Drops" technique from the Tendo-style Iaijutsu, intending to defeat his opponent as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, Enju Aihara was clearly faster.

"Don't underestimate me, I'll take care of you right now!"

Pony's legs unleashed tremendous power, his feet slamming into the ground, propelling him forward at incredible speed.

"Hehe, don't be so impatient, big sister."

Although Aihara Enju appears as innocent and naive as an ordinary child, she unleashed her power the moment Pony attacked.

"Watch out, big sister!"

Aihara Enju stomped her feet on the mud and rushed forward at an even faster speed.

Pony and Aihara Enju clashed instantly, their movements almost identical as they both launched uppercuts at each other.

Snap!

"Ugh..."

Their calves collided.

A sharp pain suddenly shot through Pony's shinbone. Despite her seemingly frail appearance, the force she unleashed completely surpassed her own!

They were already at a disadvantage on the very first attack.

Even as Pony took a few steps back, before she could even get into position, Aihara Enju instantly appeared in front of her.

"Big sister, it's over."

Aihara Enju said this, and advanced overwhelmingly with swift footwork.

"Hey!"

Pony suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest.

Aihara Enju unleashed two kicks from below, striking her in the chest.

Although Aihara Enju has changed her shoes from super holmium alloy combat boots to ordinary rubber-soled ankle boots, with her leg strength, a single kick can still instantly kill an ordinary person.

Pony is still able to stand in place because Aihara Enju has held back most of her strength.

"You lost, big sister."

Aihara Enju concluded by saying this, then calmly lowered her leg, tucked her hands behind her back, and watched Pony with amusement.

Pony nodded, sweating profusely.

She did lose.

Just as she was kicked twice, the girl's third kick came, her slender leg landing firmly on her cheek.

Even the strong wind pressure caused her ponytail and bangs to flutter.

If that kick had landed on her head, she probably would have been decapitated on the spot.

But...

"Aihara Enju, next time you're going to do high kicks, you'd better wear leggings properly, understand?"

"Ugh..."

Mahiro suddenly flicked her forehead with Aihara Enju, and she covered her forehead, blinked twice, then quickly pressed her skirt down and smiled shyly:

"You clearly enjoyed watching it."

It was truly enjoyable to look at; even the little bear on top was clearly visible.

But there were other people there.

It was thanks to Green going to watch Nahashu's fight that he was able to clean up the squad.

Surprisingly, Tina's team emerged victorious in the second match.

Cornelia's entire body was tightly bound by thin piano strings, yet she remained in the same stance, throwing a punch forward with her floating crutch.

My whole body was bound up like a rice dumpling; I couldn't move my body at all, not even a finger.

Many of the surrounding trees had even been cut in half, and the smooth surface looked as if it had been swept by something sharp.

And on those piano wires, you can clearly see the entanglement of the Psions.

It ensures the strength of the threads while binding Cornelia without harming her.

"You lost, big sister Cornelia."

We did lose, and we can't find any reason why.

At first, she could say it was just carelessness or something, but it seemed like the other person was waiting for her to adjust her mindset.

Even after giving it her all, she still lost miserably.

I never expected that this seemingly gentle and well-mannered girl would be so capable. No wonder she is the instructor brought by the Yotsuba Clan- sama.

Cornelia was completely convinced.

But at that moment, Tina suddenly released the piano string she had yanked from her black glove with her teeth and fingers, and stepped forward to whisper in her ear:

"I can tell that Mr. Mahiro values you all very much."

That gentle expression made Tina unable to help but recall the scenes from when Mahiro first met her.

That's so nice...

Cornelia did indeed blush, which was quite unusual for her.

As for the last group, that's Mibu Asaka and Nahashu's side.

The two fought fiercely, with neither gaining the upper hand.

It's not because Mibu Asaka is weak; if we're talking about combat power alone, Mibu Asaka's fighting ability completely surpasses Enju Aihara and is almost on par with Tina.

Nahashu too strong.

After a year of training from Esdeath, this young boy's strength improved at an astonishing pace, as if he were born to fight.

Unfortunately, in the end, Mibu Asaka was one move ahead.

"Tendo-style Iaijutsu, Type One, Eighth Form--"

"No Shadow, No Trace!"

Swish!

The longsword, which appeared as a blur, cleaved the longsword in Nahashu's hand in two, and the sharp blade was pressed against his throat.

Mibu Asaka coldly said, "You lost."

The entire assassination team was shocked.

They knew very well just how strong Nahashu was; they never expected that even the undisputed No. 1 would lose...

Thus, the Lolita team won the match with a decisive 3-0 victory.

"So? Is there anything else you're unhappy about?"

The members of the Assassination Squad exchanged glances, then shook their heads vigorously.

Dissatisfied? There's no one who would be dissatisfied.

Nahashu and Kel both lost.

And that idiot Pony practically begged to become his apprentice on the spot.

What else can they say?

"If you have nothing to say, then I'll assign you to groups."

"Yes, Yotsuba Clan!"

Everyone responded in unison, without the slightest resistance.

As for the group assignments, they were naturally arranged according to his previous plan.

Mine and Tsukushi trained with Tina, majoring in shooting.

Akame and Kurome follow Mibu Asaka to learn kendo.

Cornelia, Pony, and Little Silver train in physical combat under Enju Aihara.

As for Nahashu and Green, since they had received special training from Esdeath, ordinary training methods were no longer very effective for them, so Mahiro assigned them to hunt dangerous species in the forest.

The level cannot be lower than level one, and the daily hunt must be at least four animals.

And it was dissected to separate out the edible parts.

Just like Mine back then.

After all, the skill of butchering an ox is impressive even for a human.

"Vice Minister Yotsuba Clan, you're finally back to lead their training!"

Just after the four groups left, Mahiro sat on the mountaintop at the edge of the cliff observing the situation, a familiar, hoarse, and chilling voice suddenly came from behind him.

Turning around, they saw the bald head of the Assassination Department standing there, followed by more than a dozen members of the Assassination Department, each of whom was about the same age as Akame and the others, clearly members of other Assassination Squad.

However, many of those people still had bruises on their faces that hadn't healed.

"Oh, isn't this Minister Bill? Well, I'm back. But don't blame me for my recent absences, you know. There's been some unrest in the Imperial Capital lately, forcing our minister to hold meetings with us every day. Things only calmed down today."

"Heh, that's true." Bill walked over with a smile, narrowed his one-eyed eye, and coldly instructed the members behind him, "You all go to the back first. I have something important to say to Vice Minister Yotsuba Clan."

"Yes!" The men immediately turned and left, disappearing into the nearby woods in just a few seconds.

Only Mahiro and Bald Bill remained in the same spot.

Looking at this bald-headed man with a perpetually menacing expression, Mahiro feigned concern and remarked:

"Minister Bill has made such a big fuss, saying he has something important to tell me. I wonder what it is?"

Chapter 135 Girl, Do You Know Your Mistake? (5.5K)

"Hehe, it seems you've trained the elite team very well, Vice Minister Yotsuba Clan."

Bald Bill first expressed his admiration, then spoke of the people who had accompanied him earlier, "A couple of days ago, those dozen or so people from other groups competed against the elite group you trained. Even though they were on performance-enhancing drugs beforehand, none of them could beat them. They're really impressive."

No wonder they all had bruises on their faces; they were setting up a fight while he was away and Bill was temporarily in charge.

Mahiro chuckled and shook his head, saying:

"That's nothing at all; they're only truly learning practical combat skills starting today."

"Just because of those three children?"

"What, Minister Bill has taken a liking to them? But let me make this clear beforehand, there's absolutely no way I'm giving you those kids."

Mahiro spoke in a joking tone, but a dangerous glint flashed in his slowly narrowing eyes.

"Heh, I'm not that idiot Gozuki." Bill chuckled awkwardly.

Snatch food from this person?

Isn't that even more terrifying than offending Esdeath?

Aside from that idiot Gozuki, no one else could have done something so stupid.

"I wanted to ask you, how much longer will it take to complete the special training?"

"About a month, just until the final test. But I suggest continuing with practice after the special training, since they're still young and have a lot of room for growth."

"A month is possible, but there's no more time available."

Bill shook his head and said, "I'm here today to convey Minister Honest's message."

"Minister Honest?"
