Chapter 207
A hint of fear lingered in his stern gaze...
But at the same time, he asked with doubt, "As a newly Integrated Enterprise Consortium, 'The Finality' has a history far less extensive than the other six major Integrated Enterprise Consortium. Why are they so wary?"
After hearing Naviwas's words, Ribeau gave him a deep look.
"..."
Ribeau took a deep breath, then exhaled, looked out the window, and said, "Since you don't know, then I'll tell you."
"While in terms of foundation and history, 'The Finality' is indeed inferior to the other six Integrated Enterprise Consortium."
Ribeau looked out the window, as if recalling something, and said in a slightly trembling voice.
"But there are two people in 'The Finality'!"
"Hmm?" Naviwas looked at Ribeau with a puzzled expression.
"Two people?"
"The current supreme leader of ' The Finality —'The Immortal Chi Yuan's Hua!"
"And... the current supreme representative of ' The Finality '—' Princess of Judgment's Bella!"
"..." Naviwas looked at Ribeau.
He could clearly sense the fear in Ribeau's eyes when he uttered those two names!
Naviwas bowed slightly and said, "Understood."
"Then I'll go first..."
Just as Naviwas was about to leave.
"Etc!"
"Um?"
Naviwas turned around in confusion and looked at Ribeau.
Ribeau then said, "Besides the two people I mentioned, you also need to be wary of one more person!"
"Excuse me, is this...?"
Ribeau paused for a moment before speaking.
"Student Council President of the St. Freya Academy — 'The Finality' Luo Mio!"
"The Finality, Luo Mio ..." Naviwas murmured.
Ribeau continued, "Although it's just speculation..."
"Bella, the 'Princess of Judgment,' is acting as the proxy for the 'Immortal Chi Yuan' in governing 'The Finality.'"
"But I believe that the 'Princess of Judgment' is taking over the reins of the Integrated Enterprise Consortium 'Finality' on behalf of 'Finality' Luo Mio!"
"Huh?!"
Naviwas looked utterly shocked upon hearing this.
Then she said, "So you mean, in Asterisk, the one you absolutely must not provoke is 'The Finality' Luo Mio?!"
Ribeau nodded.
"To provoke him is tantamount to provoking the 'Finality' of the Integrated Enterprise Consortium!"
——
Returning to the present moment, Naviwas lowered her head, not daring to look up at all, and didn't even dare to breathe.
Just wait quietly...
Chapter 131: The Powerful Source
"..."
Naviwas lowered his head and waited silently for Luo Mio's answer.
On the other side, Theodio, Meduroi, and Sui also dared not utter the slightest sound.
Luo Mio did not unleash any power; she simply stood there unremarkably.
But just standing there, they felt a terrifying sense of oppression.
It's not the kind of physical pressure we felt before...
Rather, it is a sense of oppression that comes from the spirit and soul.
Meanwhile, the other women, including Wakamiya Minato, remained silent.
Wakamiya Minato has known Luo Mio, she has never seen Luo Mio angry.
But this time...
Although it did not display the terrifying strength it usually possessed, or that it had during Lezetania.
But in Wakamiya Minato's heart, this time, Luo Mio was the most terrifying she had ever known...
"Brother Luo Mio..."
Wakamiya Minato stared blankly at Luo Mio, her mouth slightly open as she murmured.
But in a corner she didn't notice.
The huge silver arm armor on her arm.
The "Heavy Steel Armlet" Omni-Crystal Core...
The once dazzling Omni-Crystal Core gradually dimmed as Luo Mio crushed the entire blade of the "Thirsty Evil Sword," as if it didn't want Luo Mio to notice it.
Similarly, there's the "Saber of the Unsheathed" hanging in Sophia's right hand...
——
Luo Mio looked at Naviwas, who had lowered his head, and glanced at Theodio, Meduroi, and Sui to the side.
Then, after a brief silence, he looked down at the "Thirsty Evil Sword" Omni-Crystal Core, which was shimmering with a faint light at his feet.
He bent down slightly and picked up the Omni-Crystal core of the "Thirsty Evil Sword".
When Luo Mio picked it up and held it in her hand, the core of the "Thirsty Evil Sword" trembled slightly, and then the faint light dimmed completely.
Seeing this, Luo Mio shook her head with amusement.
At the same time, Naviwas lowered his head and sensed the change in the aura around Luo Mio.
If the waves just now were as turbulent as a tsunami, then now it is a calm sea under a clear blue sky, without any waves.
Luo Mio shifted her gaze from the core of the "Thirsty Evil Sword" to Naviwas in front of her.
Naviwas, who noticed Luo Mio's gaze, felt a sudden tightness in his chest.
"Hehe... no need to be so nervous."
Luo Mio looked at Naviwas with a smile and said.
Then he handed the Omni-Crystal Core of the "Thirsty Evil Sword" to him.
"You are no longer HRMS Mercenaries, but students of the Raven Black Academy. If we continue to cause you trouble, Diluk might have to give me a piece of his mind."
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Naviwas's heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, slowly calmed down. He gently raised his head, looked at Luo Mio, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you for your understanding."
Then he took the core of the "Thirsty Evil Sword" with both hands.
Looking at the dim and lifeless core of the "Thirsty Evil Sword", Naviwas breathed a slight sigh of relief.
If the "Thirsty Evil Sword" suffers irreparable damage here, and then returns to HRMS, he... Theodio, Lawlieca, and the others will be in deep trouble.
Then Luo Mio turned around and smiled at the women, saying, "Let's go."
Wakamiya Minato glanced at the unconscious Lawlieca, then looked at Naviwas and the others, paused for a second, and nodded back.
"Um."
Before leaving, Luo Mio looked at the group and said with a smile, "Have fun at the School Festival."
Watching Luo Mio's departing figure, Theodio, Meduroi, and Sui finally dared to move and walked to Naviwas's side.
Theodio let out a soft breath, saying with lingering fear, "What a terrifying monster..."
Meduroi, standing to the side, also pushed up his glasses with a slightly trembling hand and nodded.
"Um."
Sui didn't speak, but just quietly watched the direction Luo Mio left in, her eyes revealing fear.
Naviwas glanced in the direction where Luo Mio had left, then turned back to look at the unconscious Lawlieca, sighed, and said, "Let's go back."
"Yes."
——
"Brother Luo Mio, are you just letting them leave like that?"
Wakamiya Minato looked at Luo Mio beside her and asked.
Luo Mio turned around with amusement, looked at her, and said, "What else do you want?"
Turning back, Luo Mio looked ahead and said, "The damage I did to the 'Thirsty Evil Sword' was already a warning to them."
"Unless they're courting death..."
Wakamiya Minato and the other girls heard Luo Mio say the words "unaware of their own mortality," they instantly shuddered.
At this moment, Wakamiya Minato seemed to remember something and asked Luo Mio about it.
"They're clearly Mercenaries, so why are they Rayworth's students?"
"Well..." Luo Mio stood on the side path and said to Wakamiya Minato, "Actually, it seems that this year's 'Star Martial Festival' is going to reinstate the mercenary system."
"A mercenary student?"
"Mm." Luo Mio nodded gently.
"It's a system that allows people from outside Asterisk to participate in the 'Star Martial Festival.' Although there are various systems, this one was adopted and allowed in order to maintain the scale of the 'Star Martial Festival,' especially because team competitions like the 'Griffin Star Martial Festival' have fewer student participants."
"Although opinions on the participation of mercenary students are mixed from the outside world, the atmosphere at the time was very enthusiastic..." Luo Mio clicked her tongue as she said this.
"However, because mercenary training was crucial to the foundation of the 'Star Martial Festival,' this system was later abolished."
"Of course, you shouldn't underestimate those mercenary students. These young soldiers have quite a lot of practical experience, and in some ways they are in no way inferior to the ranked students."
"And Kuroa must know the strength of that group of people better than anyone else."
Kuroa nodded gently.
"However..." Luo Mio looked at the five women behind her and smiled, "Your strength is no weaker than theirs."
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Wakamiya Minato also tapped her lips, hummed twice, and said, "That's right. If I can't even beat them, wouldn't I be disgracing Luo Mio and Fu Hua?"
As the tension dissipated, Wakamiya Minato couldn't contain her curiosity and said to Luo Mio, "This is the first time I've ever seen Luo Mio- nii get angry."
Luo Mio looked at her with amusement.
"What? You like it when I'm angry?"
Wakamiya Minato quickly shook her head.
"No, no, no... it's just that it's a tiny bit scary..."
Sophia, Kuroa, and the other three girls nodded in agreement with Wakamiya Minato's statement.
Hearing Wakamiya Minato's weak voice and Sophia and the others nodding, Luo Mio was both amused and exasperated, and said...
"Well... there's nothing I can do. That messy-haired girl crossed a line."
"Eh..." Wakamiya Minato blinked and said, "Luo Mio- nii has a Achilles' heel too."
"Is it because of what that girl said?"
Sophia looked at Luo Mio with her azure eyes and said.
Luo Mio shrugged.
"So-called dreams are not the fantasies of the weak, but the true source of the strength of the strong!"
"The source of immense power..."
