In the year 1098 of the royal calendar, 380 days before the decisive battle against the thousand-year-old prince - Kanto, Shion Cemetery.

Hundreds of stone tablets trembled and made a penetrating sound, and in the center of many white crosses, a touch of black suddenly appeared.

The outsiders, the outsiders who came from underground, finally found a gap after countless years and arrived in the world of the living.

"Huh~hiss" is just a black as the size of a finger cover before it can be soaked in the air, and it is bound by the golden chains formed by abrupt condensation.

The prohibition set by the other of the Three Supreme Beings is working according to the inherent laws.

Five, ten, fifty, hundred... The chains that grew out of the air completed the prohibition of blackness in an instant, wrapping around the package repeatedly until no gaps were exposed.

Ban – Done.

"Hiss~hiss", more than 100 golden chains curled and entwined together, like a metal sphere suspended in the air slowly turning, and then... Around the chain of the seal, countless ancient runes began to appear.

The words with a heavy and vast atmosphere are combined into hundreds of short sentences with light lines, layer by layer to isolate the space around the metal sphere, ready to bring this black back to its original place.

Just a few more seconds and it'll be over... Pity...

"Crackle ~ Crackle", more spatial textures cracked around the metal sphere, and each center slowly oozes 'black', and constantly converges together, accumulating the power to resist the ban.

The barrier has decayed and can no longer be an obstacle to the king. The situation is irreparable.

Ten minutes, or even tens of minutes, passed, and as the last chain shattered, the last words vanished, all the 'black' finally regained its freedom, slowly merging into one to regain its original form.

A churning black flame heart, or a black mist?

One of the Three Supreme Beings?

The three people who couldn't move on the side thought so...

I don't know... I don't know... Don't understand... Don't understand... I don't want to go any further.

Poké Balls lose their effect and cannot free their combat partners;

nerve palsy and inability to give effective instructions;

Muscles stiff and unable to make evasive movements;

Abnormal internal organs, unable to maintain basic functions;

The thinking became more and more sluggish, and there was only one thought left - escape!

Escape before the Supreme Being returns from the Netherworld regains its full strength!

Lucky or unlucky, maybe it's been focused on breaking the ban, or maybe it's to preserve power, 'it'... Didn't care about them.

"Hiss~huh" collided with the clash of air, and the girl standing in the center was covered in blood stains, and knelt down with a muffled grunt and gasped.

It took so long to get rid of the suppression from instinct. It's a pity, if I had been earlier, I would have been able to match the power left over from the first generation of falling feathers...

"Senpai, have you recovered?" The eyes of the boy on the left were mixed with surprise and admiration, although the use of lost combat skills caused self-injury, but it was a royal taboo to make such a decisive judgment at such a juncture.

Then take advantage of the opportunity now, maybe the senior sister can escape.

"Yucheng, Pojun, get ready, I'll send you away"

The next moment, the girl stood up and did the opposite.

"Mai Sister, what are you doing?!" The defense trainer who was favored by the senior sister and regained his freedom did not thank him, but was very puzzled, "If you don't leave quickly, you won't have a chance, don't waste time for us!" ”

"That's right," Po Jun said very tiredly, "Senior sister, as a taboo trainer, you are far more important than us"

After regaining their freedom, the two boys tacitly took out the Poké Ball, and moved with difficulty, seemingly preparing... Meet a battle that can't be won.

"If you want to die, it's not too late in a few years" Mai with a hint of disdain, clenched her hands and bombarded the abdomen of the two, beating the boys out "Heroes in front of me, it's really ~"

The stomach was tumbling and nauseating, and the two of them were extremely uncomfortable, but they found themselves only a few steps away from the exit of the Aster Cemetery~

"Sister Mai, don't mess around!" Deeply aware of the other party's stubbornness, Mijo coughed lightly, "You can't die here, for the two of us who don't even have a Gold*Index..... It's not worth it! ”

"If Dean Lin is here, he will definitely approve of our approach" Po Jun moved out of a certain big man, and finally made the girl in the distance a little loose.

But then... That hesitation was quickly replaced by another firmness.

"The value of life is not measured by strength," Mai put away her smile and said to the two of them seriously like never before, "After you escape, immediately inform the academy of the situation here... Be sure to prepare the others, I can probably buy you thirty-six hours or so."

"Mai-sama!"

"Senpai"

"Do your duty and do your best to stay alive" Mai threw out two Poké Balls, destroying the shell with the power of the lost skill, and the Warhammer Dragon and the Nut Dumbbell rushed out towards the Shion Graveyard with the two trainers wrapped around them at great speed.

The black curtain obscures the vision, and the final picture is fixed on the girl's hearty smile.

"If you are not reconciled, try to become stronger than me... Then guard the Royal Academy for me... Little men"

The silent night tore apart in a breath, and from the Aster Cemetery came a roar-like explosion and the girl's banter.

[Yo, Lord Hades, this road is not passable, can I please... Home? 】

[Lost - Battle Skill!] 】

"Snort", floating on the earth plate, Aster Cemetery... Slowly disappearing below the horizon.

Life continued, but the two trainers who fled the catastrophe never moved their eyes, as if they wanted to permanently engrave everything in their minds.

I will always remember... That night... What she said to us.

I will... Become a Forbidden Trainer and take your place to protect everything you can't keep...

I swear in this life that I will never run away again... I will no longer let the people who need to be protected... Disappeared in front of me.

Standing in front of the door of the central building of the White Phoenix Garden, the trainer, who had become a teenager, bent down and whispered to the girl who had never looked at him,

"Be careful all the way, Miss Xiaoxue"

The lunch box was still hanging in her hand, and the girl who hurried away was also as usual, but with a low hum, she headed towards the nursery.

"Don't be angry with Yucheng", the maid who followed came over and said worriedly, "Miss Xiaoxue didn't mean to target you, it's just because of Madame's relationship that she will..."

Seni stopped suddenly, uneasy. It's no secret that Madame and Mademoiselle don't merge, but it's really unorthodox to say it like that.

But what can be done? He... After all, it is the ninth of the taboo, the strongest defense trainer of the royal family.

Giving up pride, ceding precious time, and doing the work of the servants without complaint, just because of an order from the lady, but for which the lady was hostile... It's a bit cruel.

Thinking wildly, Seni saw that the man in front of him was methodically packing up the bento that was still warm, as if he was preparing for the work that followed.

As always, nothing different. But it was this calmness that made Seni very uneasy...

"Imperial City?" Seni reached out and stopped the confused Master of Defense and asked, "You... Is it really okay? ”

The royal city, which was quite puzzled, saw the worries of the maid, and quickly understood what the other party meant.

"I'm nothing~"

"Really?"

"Xiaoxue is the orthodox successor of the Royal Academy, and I am a forbidden trainer. It is my duty to protect her. Mijo said lightly, "This... There will be no change in any way because of her attitude towards me. ”

Is it~ That's good, the maid Seni finally put her mind at ease, but saw the girl in the distance suddenly stop.

"Huh?" Like the maid, the imperial castle also looked strangely towards the girl's location.

Although the distance is indeed a little far, the eyesight of both of them is much higher than that of ordinary people, and it is not difficult to see what is happening.

At the main gate of the Baihuang Park Park, the young man carried a shoulder bag and waited for a long time.

"Star... Stars? Xiaoxue didn't know why, and suddenly became a little nervous, "Why are you here?" ”

"The teacher told me to wait for you here," Xingchen began, "I need to go to the History Academy to go through the formalities related to the combination, she told me so." ”

“... Oh, I know" Xiaoxue nodded, relieved and a little disappointed at the same time,

Seeing that the girl's complexion was a little strange, Xingchen subconsciously thought that the other party was probably... Exercising too much and having some wheezing...

After only a few steps, your body can't stand it? What a weak body...

"I'll help you~" Xingchen glanced at the small backpack on the other party's shoulder and said.

"Huh? No~" Xiaoxue was about to refuse, but saw that the seemingly slender arm had missed the skin, and untied the small backpack.

Involuntarily took a step back, Xiaoxue held the other arm that had touched the other party just now, her eyes scattered.

"What's wrong with you?" Xingchen shouldered his small backpack and asked strangely,

"No, it's nothing" pursed her lips, Xiaoxue shook her head, and forced herself to follow the boy calmly, and walked towards the goal together.

In the distance, the maid Seni was extremely surprised and muttered,

"One of the unwritten 'rules' of the Royal Academy, because the trainer's backpack contains Poke Balls, skill materials, important props and private items, it must not fall into the hands of strangers, and can only be kept by himself or close people...

This trainer, should he... Showing love to the young lady? ”

In the infinite panic, Seni didn't see it, and the defense master's eyes, which had always been calm... That obliteration intent.

Or... The killing intent is not limited to just one person, the path that the two have walked... In front of the big tree, which was still empty, the woman with the cursed doll in her arms slowly walked out, with a cold smile...
