Chapter 205

"Oh, I'm sorry, but let's skip the empty compliments."

And it was at this moment—

"Hey! Theodio! What are you doing over there?!"

A woman's voice rang out.

"Um?"

Upon hearing the sound, Wakamiya Minato and the other two girls also looked over.

Three more figures appeared behind the young man.

Walking in front was a girl with messy hair, followed by a tall, burly man and a woman wearing glasses.

"Haha, sorry, sorry, Lawlieca"

The handsome man named Theodio also smiled and spoke to the disheveled girl walking in front of him.

Meanwhile—

"Ah, found them! Kuroa and Minato are over here."

Nina's voice came from behind Wakamiya Minato.

"Ah, here it comes."

Kuroa spoke in a calm tone, yet with a hint of gentleness.

However, when Kuroa walked over and saw the four figures in front of Wakamiya Minato, her deep eyes instantly narrowed, and her delicate face froze as if it were stone.

"!"

Similarly, the disheveled girl also looked in Kuroa's direction.

Then, when his gaze fell Kuroa, his fierce eyes immediately showed a surprised expression.

Kuroa looked at the disheveled girl with a complicated expression.

"Lawlieca..."

Chapter 129: Sorry... I'm a little angry!

Luo Mio narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the five people facing off in front of the five women, Wakamiya Minato.

Four of them were fine, but the space around one of the five was subtly distorting.

At this moment, Kong said, "Do you want to go over and help, brother?"

Liuli's golden eyes looked at Luo Mio.

Upon hearing Kong's words, Luo Mio pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Let's go take a look first."

"Mm." After hearing Luo Mio's words, Kong nodded obediently, and then a hint of aura was revealed in her golden eyes.

Then, Luo Mio and Kong's figures gradually disappeared from the world.

——

"Hahahaha...! So that's how it is. The one who bought you was 'The Finality'... Mina Vio!"

The disheveled girl named Lawlieca looked at Kuroa with a very happy smile, but that laughter was tinged with regret.

Looking at Kuroa Lawlieca, as if she had given up, she said in a very flat tone, "It's been a long time, Lawlieca."

Then his deep eyes looked at the three figures beside Lawlieca.

"And... Naviwas, Meduroi, Theodio... it's been a long time."

"It really is Mina Vio..."

"What an amazing adventure!"

"Haha, I never expected to run into someone like this here."

Wakamiya Minato listened to the conversation between Kuroa and the four people in front of her, her eyes fixed on them...

"They call Kuroa her former name... which means... that's Kuroa used to be like..." Wakamiya Minato thought to herself.

At the same time, memories began to surface in her mind of a previous training session in Kuroa had revealed her background to them.

Kuroa's former name was Mina Vio, and she was an orphan taken in by the large mercenary company HRMS.

However, she was later noticed by Ai-chan, the CEO of "World Serpent," who bought her for a huge price. At that time, the person who brought her back to "World Serpent" was Bella, who was the highest-ranking agent of "Finality".

She then changed her name to Kuroa Frokhette and became a special intelligence agent for the "World Serpent," the intelligence agency among the three major factions of "The Finality."

Later, with the establishment of the St. Freya Academy, Ai-chan, seeing Kuroa's age, let her enroll and enjoy school life. At the same time, she was in charge of St. Freya's intelligence agency. However, after joining Wakamiya Minato's "Hakuya Team", Luo Mio let her give up her work in the intelligence agency and focus on the "Griffin Star Martial Festival".

The four people standing before her now spoke to Kuroa in a familiar tone and called out her Kuroa her former name.

"Kuroa ...a former teammate?" Wakamiya Minato looked at them.

"Um?"

At that moment, Wakamiya Minato looked at the four people in front of her and suddenly felt a strange sensation.

Similarly, there are also three girls: Yuno, Sophia, Nina.

Then, Wakamiya Minato's gaze shifted to the side of the four people.

There was no one there...

Wakamiya Minato narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the empty space, and said uncertainly, "Is there... someone else...?"

Among the four people opposite Wakamiya Minato, the woman wearing glasses, Meduroi, also expressed her admiration after seeing the looks in the eyes of the four women.

"I didn't expect to actually detect the existence of the shattered part."

Meanwhile, in an empty place, space gradually distorted... and then a short boy silently appeared.

The boy also looked at Wakamiya Minato with sharp eyes.

Perhaps because they often sparred with Luo Mio and Kong, two spatial ability users, Wakamiya Minato and the other girls have greatly improved their spatial perception.

As the boy named Sui appeared, Kuroa looked at them with her deep eyes and said.

"Although I had heard some time ago that Revoff Mercenaries students to participate, I didn't expect it to be you guys."

"Cheers!" Lawlieca, standing opposite Kuroa, sneered fiercely, saying, "It's just work, otherwise who would come to such a boring, godforsaken place?"

At this moment, Theodio also chimed in, looking at the four girls beside Kuroa, including Wakamiya Minato, and said, "By the way, Mina Vio, so you know these cute girls."

Kuroa looked at Theodio's sparkling eyes, frowned slightly, stepped forward, and stood in front of Wakamiya Minato, saying in a cold tone, "They... are members of my team, and my most cherished and important friends, so you'd better not lay a hand on them."

Hearing Kuroa's cold, warning words, Meduroi adjusted her glasses, frowned, and looked at Kuroa, saying, "Team...? Could it be... Mina Vio, you're going to participate in the 'Griffin Star Martial Festival'?!"

"So what!"

Kuroa said in a very cold tone.

"..." After a brief silence, Meduroi said, "The 'Finality' bought you to be a special intelligence agent; how could they possibly let you step onto the stage so openly?"

However, this was only Meduroi's understanding of other Integrated Enterprise Consortium and other school intelligence agencies; she was unaware of the situation of the "Finality's " intelligence agency.

But in reality, besides Kuroa, there are more than a dozen other "World Serpent" intelligence agents of her age enjoying school life at the St. Freya Academy.

Hearing Kuroa's words, Lawlieca perked up and asked Kuroa, "Since you're participating in the 'Griffin Star Martial Festival,' does that mean you have a wish you want to fulfill?"

"..."

Kuroa was silent for a while.

(What's there to be confused about? Just follow your own heart.)

(So, go ahead and pursue your dreams.)

Then, a determined look appeared in his deep eyes as he looked at Lawlieca and said firmly, "Of course! I also have dreams I want to pursue!"

"The dream of winning freedom!"

"Kuroa..."

Wakamiya Minato, standing behind Kuroa, stared blankly at Kuroa's retreating figure.

Just as Wakamiya Minato was stunned, a loud, malicious, hateful laugh came from in front of Kuroa.

"Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe—!"

Lawlieca laughed without restraint, looking at Kuroa and saying, "Has this comfortable environment rotted your brain? Mina Vio! Dreams? Realizing your dreams with this bunch of useless trash? Hahahaha! What a ridiculous and utterly boring joke!"

"It's not a ridiculously boring joke!"

The next moment, Wakamiya Minato, who was standing behind Kuroa, stepped forward and shouted angrily at Lawlieca.

His eyes, as bright as the starry sky, were filled with anger as he looked at Lawlieca, then he spoke to Lawlieca sternly, each word uttered in a low voice.

"Kuroa's dream is not a ridiculously boring joke!"

"It's not just Kuroa's dream!"

Seeing Lawlieca's fierce gaze, Wakamiya Minato looked at her fearlessly and said, "Sophia -senpai! Yuzuki! Nina -chan! Our dreams are definitely not the utterly boring joke you're making out to be!"

"Huh?" Lawlieca looked at Wakamiya Minato in front of her and said fiercely, "And who are you?"

"Wakamiya Minato! Kuroa friend!"

Looking at Wakamiya Minato, Lawlieca glared at her with fierce hatred.

A few seconds passed like that.

"That look in my eyes really makes me furious!"

As she finished speaking, a twisted greatsword suddenly appeared in Lawlieca's hand, and she launched a sudden slash at Wakamiya Minato!

"Whoosh!"

The twisted greatsword slashed down towards Wakamiya Minato's neck with lightning speed.

An ordinary student would probably not be able to react to such an attack, but—

"Clang!"

Wakamiya Minato's hand precisely grasped the blade of Lawlieca's greatsword and held it in front of her.

"!"

Upon seeing this, the four people behind Lawlieca immediately showed expressions of surprise.

Lawlieca herself looked at Wakamiya Minato in surprise.

But what surprised her even more was that, even though her sword had touched Wakamiya Minato's skin, the blade just wouldn't cut through.

The instant Wakamiya Minato blocked the attack, Sophia behind her immediately drew her "Saber of the Unsheathed".

The silvery sword tip was aimed at Lawlieca and her group of five, and a faint silver glow also emanated from their bodies.

Deflect Lawlieca's twisted greatsword.

Then, a silver light appeared on both arms.

Then, a huge silver arm armor appeared on Wakamiya Minato's arms, completely covering her elbows.

"Heavy Steel Armlet"!

The people behind Lawlieca looked at Sophia and Wakamiya Minato, their eyes narrowing slightly.

Naviwas said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect there to be two users of the 'Pure Star Kou-type Weapon.' You've really found some good teammates, Mina Vio."

"Snort!"

Lawlieca raised her twisted greatsword and looked at Wakamiya Minato, saying, "Utterly boring, you piece of trash!"

"Dreams are just fantasies concocted in the minds of some utterly worthless idiots! Fools!"

"..."

Faced with Lawlieca's words, Wakamiya Minato fell silent, her red bangs obscuring her expression, and said...

"I said..."

Wakamiya Minato's eyes slowly appeared.

"!"
