Chapter 543

"Him? Perhaps it's because he hasn't piloted Bahamut in a long time, and because he's used the 'Divine Armor' multiple times, that his consciousness has fallen into a deep sleep."

"I see..."

Then Relli also spoke to Luo Mio.

"All the guards defeated by Lux, as well as Lagrid Furus, were also captured and imprisoned."

Luo Mio said calmly.

"Even after so much time has passed, as former enemies who once clashed with each other, Lux still hasn't been able to truly bring himself to kill him."

Relli smiled slightly.

"That's one of Lux's strengths, isn't it?"

At that moment, Luo Mio also threw something at Relli.

"Here you go."

Unlike Lux, Lisha, and Kurokushifa, Relli was also slightly taken aback before reluctantly tossing Luo Mio to herself to catch.

But when Relli looked around, her eyes suddenly narrowed.

"This is..."

A golden flute exuding an eerie aura.

Then Relli raised her eyes and looked at Luo Mio.

Luo Mio replied calmly.

"It was seized from Beibete Bart. He must have used the sound of this flute to control the appearance of the Divine Beast repeatedly."

"Our first meeting, during Risha and Lux's battle at the training ground, and even this rebellion, are all because of this. The reason why the Divine Beasts appear out of the ordinary is because of this."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Relli nodded in agreement.

"If the enemy marches directly towards the capital, their forces of over a hundred General Purpose Dragoride and over thirty gargoyles would be enough to take down the capital."

Looking at the golden flute before her, Relli's expression became slightly dazed as she stared blankly at it.

Then she murmured softly, "In that case... Fei..."

As if noticing that Luo Mio was also there, Relli quickly stopped.

However, Luo Mio seemed to have known all along and spoke up.

"The power within Philphi's body can then be resolved, right?"

"—?!"

Relli's eyes were filled with surprise and astonishment as she looked at Luo Mio.

"How could you...?"

Luo Mio glanced at the other person with her azure eyes and said calmly.

"You think I wouldn't know?"

"Philphi is, after all, my student. How could I not know the physical condition of each student?"

"Although it's not obvious on the outside, Philphi's body must have been implanted with inhuman power, which is why Philphi reacted to the sound of this flute."

"Moreover, that inhuman power must have originated from a certain 'divine beast'."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Relli's expression instantly became complicated.

Then, with a soft sigh, just as Relli was about to explain, there was a knock on the door.

Tirfa knocked on the door and came in, speaking to Relli.

"Headmaster..."

When she saw Luo Mio, Tirfa's eyes lit up.

"Ah... so you're here, Teacher Bianca."

Luo Mio was slightly taken aback when she heard that Tirfa was looking for her.

"What's wrong, Tirfa?"

Tirfa looked very lively and cute, and then grinned at Luo Mio.

"We have prepared a big gift for you, Teacher Bianca!"

"?"

Luo Mio was taken aback when she heard Tirfa's words and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"A grand gift?"

"Headmaster, we'll borrow Teacher Bianca for now."

Looking at the lively Tirfa, Relli also smiled.

"Good."

Then, Luo Mio was pulled by Tirfa and walked in another direction, towards the cafeteria.

Looking at the lively and enthusiastic Tirfa ahead, Luo Mio smiled gently.

Tirfa was also drawn by Luo Mio's clear and melodious laughter, and then turned her head to look at Luo Mio.

"Teacher?"

Luo Mio shook her head and said gently.

"It's nothing, you just reminded me of someone."

"Huh?!" Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Tirfa's eyes lit up, and she asked with great curiosity.

"Who is it? Is it your boyfriend, teacher?"

Luo Mio reached out and gently tapped Tirfa's face.

"He's another disciple of mine... my student."

Tirfa asked curiously, "Disciple... student? Are teachers also teachers in other countries?"

Luo Mio shook her head and smiled.

"Nominally she is my student, but in reality she is like my younger sister. She is a lively and lovely child just like you, although she is a little less intelligent than you."

Tirfa looked at Luo Mio with a thoughtful expression before slowly speaking.

"Teacher Bianca, you look so young, only two years older than me, but why do you speak in the same tone as my father and grandfather?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Mio couldn't help but chuckle.

In no time, Luo Mio arrived at the canteen under the guidance of Tirfa. After opening the canteen door, Luo Mio looked around.

"—Smack!"

In the cafeteria, there were many first- and second-year students, most of whom were from the classes taught by Luo Mio, and even a few third-year students from the 'Knight Order' led by Sheris.

Everyone cheered happily.

"Welcome to Academi, Teacher Bianca!"

Seeing this, Luo Mio couldn't help but smile.

"You..."

Tirfa, standing to the side, laughed and said, "Isn't this the welcome ceremony we prepared for you, teacher?"

"Yes. It's also a way to express our gratitude to you, teacher."

Nokote, one of the three harmonies, walked over to Luo Mio's side. Similarly, Sheris, the eldest member of the three harmonies, also came over.

"If it weren't for you, teacher, we wouldn't have been able to evacuate safely like this."

Tirfa, as if she had guessed what Luo Mio was thinking, gave her a chuckle.

"We just celebrated for Lux and congratulated him on his formal enrollment."

Upon hearing Tirfa's words, Luo Mio also saw Lux standing on the other side with Lisha and Airi, and Lux had a wry smile on his face.

He was clearly taken aback by Tirfa and the others' congratulations.

After all, his current situation is extremely complicated. As the 'Black Hero' who overthrew the tyranny of the Old Empire and became the subject of praise among the people of the new New Kingdom, if the people and the lords knew about this, they would think that this was not a revolution, but part of the power struggle within the Old Empire, or even that it was just a show. This would weaken the cohesion of the New Kingdom.

Even though not many people know that Lux is a 'Black Hero', now that it has been exposed, Lux certainly can't stay here any longer.

But now that Lux is able to stay here and even held a formal enrollment celebration, the matter must have been resolved.

After all, Lux was wearing a black and a white dual -Sword Device on his waist.

After a moment's thought, Luo Mio knew that it must have been Lisha who helped Lux solve this problem.

As the Princess of the New Kingdom, Risha possesses power beyond imagination.

Although it's not usually noticeable, and Risha herself isn't someone who likes to abuse power.

Luo Mio looked at Tirfa, then at the other women and Lux.

Thank you.

Then Luo Mio was pulled to the very center by the group of women.

"Teacher, teacher, can you perform that? You mean that one?"

"Star Anchor—!"

"Mold--!"

"Yes, yes, that's it! I heard about it from my senior too."

Looking at the group of students in front of her, Luo Mio's lips twitched slightly.

"I remember Tirfa... I think I have a class with you tomorrow."

"Well..."

Tirfa's face froze instantly.

Meanwhile, Lisha and Lux, who were standing to the side, looked at Tirfa with a bitter expression, as did the other girls in the same class.

Meanwhile, Philphi, who was eating sweets, spoke softly to Tirfa.

"Tirfa, the culprit."

Tirfa looked at Luo Mio with a desperate expression and pleaded.

"Teacher, can you pretend that what I just said was never said?"

Luo Mio smiled gently.

What do you think?

——

Night.

In a territory located in the New Kingdom, in the territory of Chloecha, one of the Four Great Noble Families.

In a castle in the Chloecha territory, in the room of Bozelido Chloecha, the eldest son of the Chloecha family.

As a noble young man, the handsome and dashing Bozelido Chloecha opposite a man dressed entirely in black robes, with only wisps of silver hair, resembling the symbol of the Old Empire family, visible under the brim of his hat. The brim of the hat completely obscured his face, making it impossible to see him clearly.

Upon hearing what the other party said, Bozelido Chloecha was also a little taken aback, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Is everything you just said true?"

The man in black robes nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Bozelido Chloecha also stood up, looked out the window, his eyes sparkling as if he were thinking about something beautiful.

At that moment, the voice of the man in black reached the ears of Bozelido Chloecha.

"I think you'd better be careful."

Her voice was very clear and crisp, and her tone seemed to have its own arrogance. One listen and you could tell that she was a woman of very noble status.

"Oh? Be careful of what? Be careful of the opponent's 'Divine Machine Dragon'?"

Upon hearing the other party's words, Bozelido Chloecha smiled contemptuously and then spoke with great arrogance.

"'Divine Machine Dragon'? My Divine Machine Dragon 'Agi Dahaka' is no match for its divine armor abilities, no matter how strong they are!"
