Chapter 565
This has made the current situation between the two countries extremely awkward and tense.
Although Poseidon, the Finality Godbeast released abroad by the Old Empire, has been eliminated and the immediate problem has been temporarily resolved, the upcoming 'All Dragon Battle' against foreign adversaries in two months is said to be attended by the Heiburg Republic, so we cannot be completely at ease yet.
Then, a week after the incident, Luo Mio arrived at the second-year class of Lisha, Lux, and Kurokushifa as usual.
Just as Luo Mio entered the classroom, she saw Relli standing on the podium of her classroom. When she saw Luo Mio arrive, she gave her a mysterious smile.
"..."
Seeing Relli's smile, Luo Mio knew that something was definitely going to happen.
The next second, Relli addressed the crowd.
"In two weeks, we will be heading to Ries Island for special intensive training!"
Chapter Thirty-Three: Fine, even the title isn't good enough, I'm numb.
"Ugh..."
Outside the room, the sound of waves crashing against the ship and the cries of seagulls in the sky reached Luo Mio's ears, while gentle sunlight streamed into the cabin through the windows.
Opposite Luo Mio, Lux also turned over, his face pale and extremely ugly.
"... My head is spinning."
Seeing Lux's appearance, Luo Mio sighed softly.
Then Luo Mio stood up, picked up a glass of water containing seasickness medicine from the coffee table next to her, and handed it to Lux.
Lux had just received the seasickness medicine, thanked Luo Mio very weakly.
"Thank you, Teacher Bianca."
Luo Mio looked at Lux with great curiosity.
"Is this your first time traveling by boat as a member of the royal family?"
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Lux's face also showed a very ashamed expression.
"It might be a little embarrassing to say, but this is probably my first time on a boat since birth."
Although Lux had done odd jobs at the port before, it was only by helping to move goods a few times.
This time, however, they weren't traveling in a small fishing boat, but rather on a large warship from the New Kingdom to Ries Island.
As it was a large warship of the New Kingdom, each person had their own private cabin.
Lux and Luo Mio were no exception.
As an instructor, Luo Mio's room was, in some ways, even more luxurious Lux's.
However, because of Lux, Luo Mio came to Lux's room to take care of him.
Lisha, Philphi, Airi, and the other girls are currently in a meeting with the 'Knight Order' because of the upcoming intensive training.
The intensive training camp on Ries Island was not originally part of the plan.
But later, for some unknown reason, Relli made this proposal.
Members of the 'Knight Order,' who served as the school's guerrilla force, also participated in this training camp.
Because there is a huge training ground dedicated to training mechs on Ries Island, it would be perfect for intensive training.
Luo Mio, as the supervising instructor of the 'Knight Order', boarded the New Kingdom's large warship with everyone and headed to Ries Island.
In addition, Luo Mio's teaching and training, although strict, was of great help to them.
This is something that Tirfa, Nokote, Lisha, Kurokushifa, and the other first and second-year members of the 'Knight Order' are all very clear about.
After Luo Mio's special training, their strength has improved significantly.
Lux took a sip of seasickness medicine, then looked up at Luo Mio, who was sitting quietly in the armchair reading a book.
Warm sunlight streamed through the window and gently shone on Luo Mio's profile.
Her deep blue eyes appeared even clearer and more captivating under the sunlight, like Clear Mirror on a lake.
And on that face, so exquisite and beautiful like a goddess, a calm and gentle temperament slowly emanated.
Looking at Luo Mio, Lux couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
But...
Luo Mio also noticed Lux's gaze and looked up at him.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Seeing Luo Mio's azure eyes looking at him, Lux couldn't help but awkwardly scratch his cheek with his finger and said.
"No... it just feels kind of magical."
"I know this might be a little offensive to you, Teacher Bianca, but how should I put it..."
"Teacher Bianca, you are incredibly beautiful and have a fantastic figure, but for some reason... I always unconsciously forget that you are a woman..."
"..."
Upon hearing Lux's words, Luo Mio raised her eyebrows slightly.
This phrase... doesn't it sound familiar?
And at this time.
Airi suddenly appeared and stood outside the room door, her gaze towards Lux becoming dangerous and cold.
"Brother, are you going to lay a hand on Teacher Bianca as well?"
Airi's sudden appearance and words caught Lux off guard for a moment.
"Huh?"
Then they saw Airi walk up to Lux and say something.
Even if we're not here, brother, you absolutely mustn't lay a hand on Teacher Bianca!
Upon hearing this, Lux realized the meaning behind Airi's words and then said, quite speechless.
"Why Airi you make me sound like a pervert, Airi?"
Airi didn't say much about it, but simply gave a cute hum.
Airi then realized what was happening and looked at Luo Mio, saying something to him.
"Teacher Bianca, the headmaster is looking for you."
Luo Mio nodded and stood up.
"I see."
After leaving the room, Luo Mio also went to the deck at the bow of the ship.
She slightly raised her eyes, and the dazzling, gentle sunlight shone on Luo Mio.
The perfect weather with not a cloud in the sky, and the clear reflection of the blue sky on the vast ocean.
I took a peek at this stunning view, a rare sight even in the inland Fortress City Crossfield.
Luo Mio walked straight ahead.
A short while later, Luo Mio saw Relli standing at the bow of the ship at the front of the deck.
Upon seeing Luo Mio arrive, Relli also looked ahead and spoke.
"For Philphi, I'm willing to give everything... even if it's just for him."
Relli's gaze was unusually firm as she murmured in a voice only she and Luo Mio could hear.
"... to be an enemy of the New Kingdom!"
Hearing Relli's words, Luo Mio understood why Relli did what she did.
Luo Mio spoke up.
"So, the reason for bringing Celes, Lisha, Lux, and other members of the Knight Order's to Ries Island for intensive training is because of the ruins, right?"
Relli glanced at Luo Mio and said with a wry smile.
"Sometimes, Bianca, you really scare me."
"Nothing can escape your eyes, it's like a mirror. Even just having a conversation with you, you can find details in it."
Luo Mio shrugged when she heard Relli's words.
Then, as if to make sure there was no one around, Relli looked at Luo Mio and began to speak slowly and softly.
"Bianca, after reviewing all the information I gave you, you should understand that during the Old Empire, male nobles could arbitrarily fabricate excuses to kidnap girls from the common people or the poor, using them as objects of sexual gratification or as labor."
"Sometimes even noble daughters are no exception, especially when the Imperial military selects Human Experimentation."
Luo Mio didn't say much, but nodded slightly.
Relli continued.
"Philphi was once captured by the military of the Old Empire and subjected to Human Experimentation."
"Although, thanks to Lux-kun, we found Philphi five years ago in the monastery beneath Ries Island..."
"But at that time, Philphi was already... in a state of suspended animation."
"At the time, all the medical staff were helpless, but... afterwards, accompanied by a mysterious light and appearance, Philphi miraculously woke up from his Quasi-death state."
Upon hearing this, Luo Mio's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Philphi has turned into a mythical beast... right?"
Relli nodded gently.
"It was around that time that I realized that Philphi's body must have undergone some kind of change."
"Her body became healthier than before, and her strength became enormous. Even adults couldn't beat her when she used her full power. Later, I entrusted Philphi to the care of her martial arts teacher, who taught her how to control her power."
"Shortly before I met you, when I became the headmaster of the Royal Military Academy, I noticed that Philphi had transformed into a Mythical Beast."
Luo Mio said calmly.
"That's why you made sure that even though Philphi had joined the 'Knight Order,' he never participated in the investigation of the ruins or the hunting of the mythical beasts."
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Relli looked at Luo Mio and gave a wry smile.
"You should know Bianca, right?"
"According to the laws of the New Kingdom, mythical beasts will be dealt with and hunted down. If the nobles or people of the New Kingdom were to find out that Philphi is a mythical beast, she would likely be executed."
"..."
Just then, the sound of footsteps on the deck came from behind.
Relli also adjusted her mindset, while Luo Mio turned her head slightly and looked back.
Airi and Lux walked over.
Then Airi said to Relli.
"Headmaster, we have arrived at our destination."
Upon hearing this, Luo Mio and Relli also turned their gazes forward.
In Luo Mio's gaze, a very large island with lush vegetation appeared in the distant Sea Domain.
The warships then anchored at the stone dock, and after unloading their cargo, the group marched in formation along the road. After passing through a tunnel with dense branches, they finally arrived at a completely new and wonderful world.
All that could be seen was a vast, beautiful blue sea surrounding the steep, thick rock walls, and a very spacious Training Ground in the distance, while above the cliffs behind them was a lush forest.
Not far from the Training Ground is a huge lake and agricultural area, which not only has accommodation facilities to serve as a base, but also a few small shops.
Just then, a steady old man with a white beard walked out from the other side of the path and slowly approached the group.
"Oh, welcome, Miss Relli Agrame."
After a brief exchange with the other party, Relli addressed everyone.
"The soldiers are not on the Training Ground now, so everyone can relax."
Afterwards, Relli led everyone a few steps to the house at the training camp location.
Because it was originally an army accommodation facility of the Old Empire, the building materials were more sturdy and solid than ordinary houses, and compared with the girls' dormitory, it could be said to be quite simple.
