Chapter 184

"But..."

Wakamiya Minato scratched her cheek and said, "The price..."

The price of using the "Heavy Steel Gauntlets" is continuous sleep. The duration of sleep depends on how long the "Heavy Steel Gauntlets" are used, and sometimes it can even exceed twenty-four hours. During sleep, one cannot wake up, and even external force cannot awaken one.

At this point, Luo Mio also looked at Yurith and said.

"I heard from Tia that you, Yurith, went to test the new Kou-type Weapon developed jointly by the Star Academy and the Alcant Academy."

"Um."

Yurith nodded.

At this moment—

"To be precise, it should be called the 'Kou-type Long-Range Guidance Weapon.'"

A voice rang out at the door of the training room.

Everyone looked over and saw Claudia and Kato Kirin standing there, smiling at them.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Then she walked up to Luo Mio and said softly, "Good afternoon, Ling."

"Good afternoon, Tia," Luo Mio said with a light laugh.

Yurith, standing to the side, said in a speechless tone.

"You were the one who called us here to gather and discuss countermeasures for the 'Griffin Star Martial Festival,' but you're late."

"Well..." Claudia chuckled at Yurith's speechless tone, "After all, the 'School Festival' is coming up soon, and the Student Council will have more work than usual."

"Alright, let's get down to business now."

Claudia looked at her team of four: Amagiri Ayato, Yurith, Sasamiya Saya, Kato Kirin.

Then, he took out two activation devices from a case on one side of his clothes.

Pandora

Chapter 105: The Price of "Pure Star Kou-type Weapon".

Three hundred seconds?!

In the hall, everyone sitting on the sofa was taken aback when Claudia revealed Pandora's abilities.

Amagiri Ayato exclaimed in surprise, "Although it's only a 300-second capacity, the fact that you can see 300 seconds into the future makes me understand why you, Claudia, can hold onto the second position in the rankings."

Since Claudia took the second position in the sequence, very few people have dared to challenge her. After all, those who once possessed "Pandora" could not last more than three days before giving it up. Therefore, most students have no idea about the approximate abilities of "Pandora".

But a small number of people still know...

Yurith looked at the "Pandora" activation device that Claudia had placed between her thighs.

"I've heard that Pandora's personality is quite wicked."

Claudia smiled gently.

"It's alright, this kid's personality is already comparable to mine."

"With such a powerful ability as 'Future Sight,' the price for using 'Pandora' back then..."

Yurith squinted as she looked at "Pandora".

Great power always comes at a price...

After hearing what Yurith said, everyone looked at Claudia.

Claudia noticed the looks on everyone's faces and covered her mouth with a smile, saying, "The price of using this child is to make the holder experience all sorts of deaths."

"!"

Everyone was stunned when Claudia said it so casually.

Upon hearing Claudia's words, Kato Kirin looked at Claudia with a pained expression.

"Sister-in -Wakamiya Minato also looked at Claudia with a worried expression.

Yurith frowned as well, saying, "It's amazing you've managed to stick with it since junior high..."

Claudia chuckled softly, "Well, I'm used to it."

At that moment, Amagiri Ayato looked at Claudia and suddenly remembered something.

"Back then at the Phoenix Star Martial Festival, when I went to find Claudia, could it be that at that time...?"

"Yes." Luo Mio, who had been sitting to the side listening to their conversation, put down her teacup and looked at Amagiri Ayato, saying, "When I went there that night, Tia was experiencing the death dream created by 'Pandora' in her sleep."

"Actually, everyone doesn't need to worry anymore."

Claudia seemed to recall something, and her smile widened as she glanced at Luo Mio and said, "Now, this child will no longer let me experience death."

"Huh?"

Noticing Claudia's gaze, everyone turned to look at Luo Mio.

Luo Mio glanced at everyone's gazes, shrugged, and said, "Back when I had 'Pandora,' this kid also wanted me to experience death."

"It just failed later, and then we gave it a simple lesson."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, everyone stared at Luo Mio in astonishment.

Wakamiya Minato's eyes widened, sparkling with lust, as she looked at Luo Mio and said, "As expected of Luo Mio!"

If anyone else had said this, they probably wouldn't have believed it, but these words came from Luo Mio's mouth...

"Speaking of which..."

At this moment, Kato Kirin seemed to realize something and said, "It seems that each 'Pure Star Kou-type Weapon' has its own personality, abilities, and corresponding price."

Then his eyes fell on the hem of Amagiri Ayato's robe.

"That day, Senior Wu's 'Black Furnace Demon Sword'..."

"The 'Black Furnace Demon Sword'..."

As he spoke, Amagiri Ayato took the "Black Furnace Demon Sword" out of its case.

Looking at the activated form of the "Black Furnace Demon Sword" in his hand, Amagiri Ayato also spoke.

"While not as wicked as 'Pandora,' 'Black Furnace Demon Sword's' personality could still be described as quite reclusive."

"And... how should I put it?" Amagiri Ayato looked at the "Black Furnace Demon Sword" with a wry smile and a helpless expression.

"Before my sister's guidance, every time I used the 'Black Furnace Demon Sword,' I felt like it was testing me, and the difficulty kept increasing as my Seal Released."

Luo Mio looked at him and said, "But now it seems that, with Sister Yao's guidance, you can now use the 'Black Furnace Demon Sword' perfectly, making it easy for you to wield."

"Well, after all, my sister was its previous user." Amagiri Ayato said, looking at the "Black Furnace Demon Sword" in his hand.

Hearing them mention the "Black Furnace Demon Sword," Wakamiya Minato seemed to remember something and said something.

"Ah, Sophia's brother is also a user of the 'Four-Colored Magic Swords,' isn't he?"

"The Paladin, Ernest Felcrawl."

Luo Mio said, "That guy's 'White Filter Magic Sword' has the ability to 'sever a designated target,' and his personality, how should I put it, is as rigid and serious as a medieval knight."

Yurith chimed in, "I do know that. It's said that the price of using the 'White Filter Magic Sword' is that one must maintain high moral character, abandon selfishness, and all actions must be those of an executor of order and justice. If any evil occurs, the 'White Filter Magic Sword' will abandon the user."

"And the contemporary 'Paladin' Ernest Felcrown can be considered the best user of the 'White Filter Magic Sword'."

Seeing everyone talking about the "Four-Colored Magic Swords," Kato Kirin also spoke up.

"By the way, what kind of ability is Fu Hua's 'Ruoshui'?"

After hearing what Kato Kirin said, everyone looked at Luo Mio with curiosity.

To be honest, ever since they learned that Fu Hua's "Ruoshui" was a "Pure Star Kou-type Weapon," they still don't know the capabilities of "Ruoshui."

Luo Mio shrugged and said, "You should all have some idea about Ruoshui's abilities, right?"

Yurith nodded.

"I guess it must be related to water."

Luo Mio nodded and said, "That's right, 'Ruoshui's' ability is to manipulate water."

Yurith blinked, then said in a somewhat incredulous tone, "You mean, manipulating water?! Just manipulating water?"

"Um."

Yurith was speechless for a moment, then sighed.

"If it's near the sea, or a river or lake, 'Ruoshui's' abilities are undoubtedly the strongest."

"And what's the price?" Sasamiya Saya asked.

Glancing at Sasamiya Saya, Luo Mio couldn't reveal the true cost Ruoshui "Ruoshui," so she told a small lie, "According to the teacher, using 'Ruoshui' requires enduring the chill it emits."

Is that so...?

Just as everyone was discussing, a sound came from the entrance hall.

"We're back."

Fu Hua's clear and melodious voice reached everyone's ears.

"Welcome back, teacher."

Chapter 106: School Festival

In the Sky Courtyard of the Hotel Etoile in the Central District of Asterisk.

The monthly "Seven Flower Conference" was started.

The topic of this meeting was the "School Festival".

"School Festival".

A grand celebration jointly held by various university campuses every spring.

Stages and booth locations will be set up and prepared in each university campus.

The "School Festival" will invite famous alumni from various universities to give speeches, present the achievements of various clubs, have competitions with other schools, and even have parades, dramas and other activities.

Initially, only Star Academy held the "School Festival," but as time went on, other academies also started to hold the "School Festival" together.

It can be said that the "School Festival" is the most exciting and popular period in Astersik, apart from the "Star Martial Festival".

Even the streets of Asterisk have become part of the "School Festival," with all sorts of activities being prepared.

Moreover, the "School Festival" is the only time when ordinary people can enter the seven schools. As long as ordinary tourists leave at the designated time, they can enter the schools to visit, which can be described as quite lively.

——

"Every time you two meet at a 'meeting,' you argue. Don't you get tired of it?" After the meeting, Luo Mio watched Diluk leave and said to the "Paladin" Ernest, who was sitting next to her.

Hearing Luo Mio's teasing words, Ernest could only show a helpless expression.

However, instead of answering Luo Mio's teasing question, Ernest asked Luo Mio, "How has Sophia been lately?"

"..."

Upon hearing Ernest's question, Luo Mio was momentarily at a loss for words.

The words that Wakamiya Minato had said to her before came to mind.

"Senior Sophia is often busy organizing Student Council work, so busy that she doesn't even have time to eat lunch or dinner."

"..." Recalling this, Luo Mio smiled at Ernest and said, "Don't worry, Sophia is doing quite well."

"Really? That's good."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's answer, Ernest also showed a relieved expression.

Seeing Ernest's expression, Luo Mio added, "Actually, Sophia joined one of my junior classmates' teams before, and she'll probably participate in next year's 'Griffin Star Martial Festival'."

System: "Didn't you force her to join Wakamiya Minato's team?"

Luo Mio: "Shut up."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Ernest's eyes revealed a strange expression.
