Chapter 486

Ophelia lowered her head slightly and said in a very cold tone.

"I'm sorry, your appearance has caused 'fate' to move without my knowledge."

Although Ophelia's tone was cold and indifferent, Luo Mio could clearly sense the loneliness and pain in her words.

The 'fate' that Ophelia spoke of was precisely her power.

After saying that, Ophelia turned around and walked away into the distance.

Watching Ophelia's departing figure, Luo Mio sighed softly.

"Ophelia, classmate."

When Ophelia heard Luo Mio call her name, she turned around and looked at Luo Mio.

Luo Mio strode towards her.

Perhaps because of the wisp of aura that Luo Mio had just released, the aura that Ophelia had been emitting from time to time was now quietly receding.

It was as if they were terrified of Luo Mio.

Luo Mio looked at Ophelia and calmly spread her hands out to Ophelia.

Seeing Luo Mio's action, Ophelia also looked down and her bright red eyes widened in surprise.

In Luo Mio's hand was a pure, beautiful white flower.

Whether it was a misperception or not, the moment Ophelia saw the flower, the 'power' that had been eroding her body actually eased.

Looking at the flowers Luo Mio offered, Ophelia didn't know whether to reach out or remain silent.

If it were in the past, she would have chosen to leave without hesitation.

But this time...

Seeing Ophelia's hesitation, Luo Mio directly stuffed the Abyss Flower into Ophelia's hand.

"Considering my friendship with Yurith, I'll give you this. Keep it with you whenever you feel like it."

"Isn't your body constantly being eroded by 'Omni-element'? This flower can help you alleviate and restore the Life Force that has been consumed by 'power'."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Ophelia's expression froze, her crimson eyes looking at the flower in her hand with a hint of bewilderment.

"Why..."

Ophelia raised her eyes and looked at Luo Mio, who had already turned her back.

"Why?"

Hearing Ophelia's question, Luo Mio lowered her eyes slightly and said softly.

"Perhaps it's because you're similar to a group of kids I know."

"They could have had a peaceful and comfortable life like ordinary people, but because of unknown 'powers,' they were rejected and feared by the world... and ultimately even exploited by others."

After saying that, Luo Mio turned to Ophelia and smiled gently.

"I hope that when we meet next time, the conflict between you and Yurith will have been resolved."

Afterwards Luo Mio, Ikki, and Stella left Ophelia's sight.

'A provocation from Reivne and a test from Diluk.'

"Clang clang clang clang—!"

The crisp sound of blades clashing echoed in the training room.

Inside the training room, Ikki and Kato Kirin faced off, each wielding their respective weapons: 'Yin Iron' and 'Senba Giri'.

Meanwhile, Luo Mio, Kong, Sophia were watching the two fight from the sidelines.

Ikki looked slightly speechless and spoke to Sora.

"Making Sister Kirin fight Ikki, you really came up with that idea, Sora."

"Aren't you afraid that Sister Kirin's confidence will be damaged?"

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Kong rolled his eyes at Luo Mio.

"I know Kirrin better than anyone. She won't be discouraged by this little setback."

"That's true..."

While Luo Mio and Kong were chatting, there was another commotion on the field.

On the field, Kato Kirin, wielding 'Senba Giri', charged swiftly toward Ikki.

As Kato Kirin towards him, Ikki's dark eyes, as clear as a mirror, carefully observed Kato Kirin's every step, her sword-wielding movements, her strength, and the coordination of her body.

"Perfect Vision"

Whether it's swordsmanship or people, their structure is the same. Every action of every person is related to the root 'concept', or rather, values.

Ikki only needs to deduce Kato Kirin's actions, interests, words, etc. from that, and understand them, to know what Kato Kirin is thinking and what she is preparing to do.

This is "Perfect Vision"... a mirror that truly exposes the inner self of others!

Kato Kirin swung her 'Senba Giri' at Ikki with incredible speed.

"Catching Bait", "Fishing Boat", "Miaomiao", "Sister Backing Mountain"...

The ultimate technique of his Totō-ryū swordsmanship is "Renhe".

The forty-nine combos gave Ikki no chance to catch his breath, relentlessly slashing at Ikki.

The flawless white sword light, like Crane Fold, moved without the slightest pause, drawing graceful slashes in the air without any gaps.

Seeing Kato Kirin's attack, Luo Mio's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in admiration.

"I never expected that Sister Kirin's swordsmanship would improve so quickly in just one year."

If Kato Kirin were to participate in last year's "Phoenix Star Martial Festival," there would be a 50% chance that she would face Kirin Toudou in the finals instead of Amagiri Ayato Kato Kirin.

Although Kato Kirin has grown up, the person she faces is the "Demon" Kurogane Ikki, who is known as the "Sword God".

Faced with Kato Kirin's relentless attacks that gave the enemy no chance to breathe, Ikki couldn't help but sigh.

To possess such swordsmanship at such a young age... even someone his age probably couldn't achieve the level of Kato Kirin.

But...

Ikki had been dodging, narrowed his eyes and immediately seized an excellent position for a counterattack.

The 'Yin Iron' in his hand quickly severed the Kato Kirin's slash at an extremely tricky angle.

"What?!"

Then, Ikki gripped the 'Yin Iron' with both hands and adopted the same sword-holding posture as Kato Kirin.

Then...

In Sophia's and Kato Kirin's eyes, Ikki used the "Renhe" combo of forty-nine different techniques on Kato Kirin.

Furthermore, Ikki's "Renhe" is even more fluid and swift than Kato Kirin's.

Sophia, who was standing nearby, was particularly surprised when she saw this scene.

After Luo Mio and Kong left, Sophia had many sword sparring sessions with Kato Kirin.

She was fully aware of the power and complexity of "Renhe".

But now...

Luo Mio seemed to notice Sophia's expression and chuckled as she spoke.

"Blade Steal."

"It only takes one minute to see through most sword techniques, thus enabling one to master the entire sword technique, including its skills, routines, and how to respond to one's own movements."

"Then correct all the weaknesses in the opponent's swordsmanship and re-weave a swordsmanship that is compatible with the higher levels."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Sophia also looked incredulous.

"Clang—!"

After defeating Ikki Kato Kirin, Ikki chuckled and said...

"Sister Kirin, your swordsmanship uses extremely subtle guidance such as breathing, spacing, and gaze to block the opponent's counterattack, then create a situation to suppress the opponent, until finally defeating them."

Upon hearing Ikki's words, Kato Kirin's eyes widened, and she excitedly approached Ikki.

They discussed swordsmanship with Ikki.

Sophia, who was standing next to Luo Mio, also wanted to go forward and discuss it together.

But at that moment, Sophia's Space Window rang.

Sophia glanced at the Space Window, her expression immediately turned serious, and she walked out of the training room.

At that moment, Minato's call came in.

Opening the Space Window, Luo Mio looked at Minato and pondered for a moment.

Why is this girl calling me at this time...?

Judging from the timeline, Minato should still be in class.

After the communication was established, Minato's appearance appeared in the Space Window.

Looking at Minato, Luo Mio raised an eyebrow and said.

"Minato, we're in class right now. Aren't you afraid Sophia will find out you're calling me? She's right here with me."

Upon hearing Luo Mio 'Luo Mio words, Minato in the Space Window did not feel guilty or afraid. Instead, she looked at Luo Mio anxiously and spoke.

"Something terrible has happened, Brother Luo Mio."

Upon hearing Minato's words, Luo Mio's eyes flickered slightly.

"What happened?"

Minato seemed to be panting, and after taking a breath, she hurriedly spoke.

"Students from the Raven Black Academy have come to our St. Freya."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Mio's azure eyes narrowed slightly.

"Rewolf Black..."

"President."

At this moment, Sophia, who walked in from the corridor, also looked at Luo Mio with a solemn expression.

Judging from Sophia's expression, she probably knew that students from the Raven Black Academy had entered St. Freya Academy.

Luo Mio smiled slightly.

'That Diluk guy seems to know I'm back.'

Currently, besides Claudia and Kato Kirin, the only other people who know that Luo Mio has returned to this world are...

It was just Sylvia, Minato, Sophia, and the other girls.

Even if he met Ophelia on the street yesterday, it was only because Ophelia's 'fate' reacted to him that Ophelia recognized him.

And yesterday... was the only time I had contact with Ophelia since I came back.

Luo Mio couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

"He's as annoying as ever, that guy Diluk."

Even Luo Mio had to admit that although Diluk did not have superhuman abilities or physique, he possessed a devilish mind.

I'm afraid that if Ikki possessed "Perfect Vision," he would be able to gain the upper hand in his confrontation with Diluk.

After all, "Perfect Vision" is a mirror, and confronting Ikki is like confronting oneself.

And it's probably because he had contact with Ophelia yesterday that he deduced that she had already returned.

Then Luo Mio asked Minato.

"So what happened, Minato?"

Then Minato's voice slowly rang out.
