"Hmm...... I understand the reasoning, but Lloyd, I'm sorry, I really can't accept this request right now. After arriving at the police station with Arios, they met Lloyd, who was still sweating in the training room, and Guy, who had come to see the play when he heard the movement. There, Lloyd expressed his true meaning of "commission" in a serious manner -

"After entering the police academy, although my intention to become a search officer like my big brother has never changed, I often feel that I don't have a good competitor by my side. I'm very distressed by this...... But there is no way but to continue to practice hard to counteract this feeling...... But now that you're back, and you've heard from Ariosgo, you're starting to learn to control what was hard for you...... I didn't understand what he was talking about, but I can tell that you've grown too, right? So, I want to take a look at you, to see my limits, and to see how I grow up. ”

A remark, knowing reason, moving with emotion, whether it is action or demeanor, tone or content, all show a sincere side, coupled with the relationship between old acquaintances, Heliga originally had no reason not to agree - a pity.

"Not long ago in Liber, I was injured a lot, as you can see, although there is nothing wrong with my daily activities now, but if I have a fight with you...... It really doesn't fit. If it's a healthy situation, I definitely won't refuse you. ”

"Hmm...... There was something incongruous about him. Guy wasn't as trained as Arios, but he sensed something from Hyliga's actions, "What about you?" Arios? ”

"Me too, I've been aware of it for a long time. But I was afraid that Lloyd would not believe me, so I brought the boy with me and let him speak for himself. Arios said, "Lloyd, do you understand? ”

"That's the case......" Lloyd couldn't hide his frustration, but he also understood the importance and priority of the matter, "In that case, I can only say regret...... And, sorry, Helriga, to trouble you with such a trifle. ”

"Wait." Just as Lloyd was about to return in a huff, Faye stopped him in a loud voice, "Helliga can't participate in the exhibition, or ...... I'll fight you in his place. ”

"Are you...... Fei, right. Lloyd looked at the thin girl who was nearly half a head shorter than himself with a puzzled expression, "We're talking about the kind of duel with real knives and guns, not using guiding magic or anything......" It seems that Lloyd doesn't believe that Fei's thin body can take advantage of hand-to-hand combat, and he also thinks that Fei's is a ranged support character who uses magic.

"Hey." Hearing this, Heiliga smiled at the show, "Lloyd, you can be careful, I have never won the two previous battles with Fei." ”

"Huh? Are you sure? Lloyd was taken aback, and immediately smiled, "Since I am a master, then I have no scruples!" Lloyd Bannings, Crossbell Police Academy student, join! ”

"Faye Clauser. Let the horses come. ”

"Drink!" In the empty fighting arena, two small figures are fighting back and forth. Faye kicked it out, targeting Lloyd's chest, but the latter struggled to raise his baton and was able to block it. Fei also showed an approving look when he saw this, but his movements were not slow at all, and while Lloyd was still breathing, he quickly pulled away the distance and pulled out the bayonet's guide gun from the scabbard on his leg, and with two bangs, two paint bullets exploded on Lloyd's calf. Lloyd gasped, no longer able to dodge or parry, and could only watch as he was hit.

"Lloyd isn't bad?" Guy on the side looked at his younger brother's embarrassed appearance, but he looked very happy, "Although that little girl replaced the bayonet and did not use the advantage that could maximize the weapon, she still completely suppressed Lloyd...... This is the difference in strength. Before, he still felt that people were weak. ”

"The basic skills are also very solid, although there are still many flaws, but in terms of her age, the degree of completion is already very high." Arios also had an approving expression, "And considering her ...... Well, from her background, she probably hasn't shown her real skills yet. "Arios knows the history of Faye's chasseurs, and what chasseurs are best at is not fighting, but fighting - now it's just a competitive competition, so that Faye has no way to exert his real strength, and if it was a direct encounter on the battlefield, Lloyd would have been killed nine times out of ten.

"Even so......" Looking at the dozen or so marks on Lloyd's body that were hit by paint bullets all over his limbs, Helliga also looked quite surprised, "Lloyd didn't find a flaw in the attack by Fei...... This resilience, and this spirit of not giving up no matter what the disadvantages are...... Hehe, it's Lloyd. ”

“…… That's it, right? Faye looked at Lloyd, who was already unsteady on his feet, and did not attack further, but looked at the spectator-referee on the sidelines.

"Whew, whew, thanks for the advice. No wonder...... Even he ...... "a man who has experienced a real battle," says Heliga, "as Lloyd, who was panting for breath while bracing his body with a baton, did not have an expression of loss or chagrin on his face, but was filled with excitement...... I am still far from this feeling of being tempered after growing up. ”

"Lloyd, your foundation is not bad, it's not too late to find a sect to apprentice now, right?" "If you really want to follow the path of your dreams, it is essential to improve your strength. ”

"Don't." Lloyd decisively refused, "Big brother can rely on his own ability not to be thrown away by you, and I can't give up." ”

"Haha." Guy's laughter revealed pride, "Worthy of my brother." ”

“…… Mr. Guy, was he also repaired like this by Mr. Arios during training? Fei, who had already withdrawn her weapon, walked over without blushing or panting, her body was only slightly touched by the charge of Lloyd, who was still full of strength at the beginning of the battle, and the rest of the body was unharmed, and her breath was also smooth and abnormal, "It's hard to imagine." ”

"That's right." Guy smiled heartily, as if he didn't regard these beaten histories as anything to be ashamed of, "But even so, I won't give up, look, Arios, sooner or later I'll beat you." ”

"Okay, okay." Arios was perfunctory and unlucky, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously hung a smile.

There are such people in ...... With them, there is hope for Cross Bell.
