"Xiao Ai, are you desperate?"

Agnes suddenly felt a hand touching her head.

"Sister Xia......"

She looked up at Natsu and saw that she didn't have a discouraged expression at all.

"It's just a waterfall, everyone cheer up!"

Xia turned his head and said to the people with ugly faces:

"It's nothing compared to what we've been through before. The science and magic department went to a few experts to test the water quality to see if it was drinkable, and the person in charge of setting up camp moved the location back a kilometer or so, it was too loud. ”

Then she turned her head back, looked at the roaring waterfall in front of her, and said:

"Let's wait, things may turn around soon."

Day 1.

Because the water quality is safe, many people not only drink to their heart's content, but also fill their own water bottles; The male and female trainees also took a shower in batches, and someone couldn't help but go for a voyeur.

The next day, people began to feel a little anxious, and Delia had not returned, and quite a few people began to take up arms and practice with each other in preparation for possible battles in the future.

And the silver-haired princess was still sitting by the waterhole with clear eyes, not knowing what to think there, and her calm expression infected many of the team members.

Day 3.

Bang! ”

The wooden stick in Natsu's hand collided with Abner's new sword.

"Ouch-"

Abner spun around by the dexterity in her hand, and sat unsteadily on the ground, his broadsword falling off.

"Again."

Xia took a deep breath and said with a wooden stick in both hands.

"Captain, spare me, you keep playing with me like this, my ass is about to swell."

Abner waved his hand. Signal yourself not to fight.

"There's no way, your strength is too strong, so naturally I can't go head-to-head with you."

Natsu retracted his fighting stance and hung down his stick.

"It's nature."

Hearing her say that she had great strength, Abner triumphantly picked up the sword, and said:

"My strength should be the first ...... of the school"

Then he suddenly remembered Deria. Then he changed his words to:

"No,It's the second ...... of the school park"

Then he saw Lorraine coming from the side, and immediately hung his head, and whispered:

“…… It's the third largest in the school park.,Alas.。 ”

He sighed and picked up the large shield he had just thrown on the ground.

"Wait a minute."

Natsu saw his shield and suddenly remembered a few newly learned skills, and now was a good opportunity to test his attack power.

The test equipment was in the backup warehouse, and she wanted to know how much her current level was different from before.

"What's wrong, Captain?"

Abner asked, confused.

"You're holding a shield. Stand there and don't move, let me test the power of the swordsmanship. ”

Natsu lied and said that the skill was swordsmanship.

"Master, your current sword skill level is very low, and the skills of a magic swordsman can only be used with a black long knife......"

Stephanie reminded her from the side.

"It's okay, it's just because the skill level is low, so you don't have to worry about it, and it's not dangerous."

She made a stance with a wooden stick.

"Hehe, trying to break through my steel-solid defenses with that rotten wood. That's impossible. ”

When it came to the topic of defense, Abner immediately put aside his discouragement. Holding a shield and taking a defensive stance.

"Come on, captain, fight like this!"

He clattered his shield with his sword and shouted:

"You're welcome, I'm very strong! Feel free to hit. ”

This idiot, I don't know if the provocation skill works best against monsters. The effect on people will be weakened a lot.,It's a waste of MP.。

Seeing his movements, Natsu's mind thought of the game he had played in the first place, and he despised Abner in his heart.

"Come on, let's use the skills of an orthodox swordsman first."

She thought of the two tricks that Lorraine had taught her. Pick one out and use it:

"Full Moon Slash!"

The stick in her hand made an arc and slammed into Abner's shield with the sound of the wind.

"Peng!!"

The stick struck the shield so firmly that Abner didn't even shake it to block the blow.

Wouldn't it, so weak?

Natsu froze.

"No, come again!"

She gritted her teeth and changed her newly learned swordsman skills, raised the wooden club over her shoulders with both hands, and launched a thrust towards the shield in Abner's hand!

"Triple Advance!"

This is an advanced skill of an orthodox swordsman, and she is also using it for the first time.

Unlike just now, the stick turned into an afterimage, and an extremely rapid point quickly expanded in Abner's eyes, stabbing at the shield from the side and above where it was most difficult to exert force.

He was also an experienced warrior, so he immediately changed his posture of holding the shield, tilted his arm slightly, and felt a heavy force coming from the shield, and the force was more than twice as strong as just now.

"Whew! Laugh at! ”

Before he could react, he immediately stabbed two more stabs, one on both sides of his shield, which happened to be the weakest area of his strength, and each time it became more and more ferocious, his defensive posture suddenly became disorganized.

"Silver Heron Cross Slash!"

Seeing the opportunity, Natsu immediately picked up the wooden stick diagonally, drew a cross in the air, and slashed it on top of the shield.

Despite the crisis, Abner's body was still steady, and he bent one leg and moved his shield lightly, steadily blocking the cross.

"It's always a little hard."

Xia put down his arm a little unhappily:

"Don't I have what it takes to be a swordsman?"

Abner is just a shield warrior of the second class, and he can't even break through his defenses.

Probably because of the rendering of retro culture, she chooses a swordsman most of the time when she plays the game, and occasionally chooses a mage, and it was her dream to become a truly great swordsman.

"Classmate Xia, I've been watching from the side for so long, and I think there is a little problem with your swordsmanship."

Lorraine walked over from the side and said in a tactful way:

"You always seem to like to attack one move at a time, and there is no synergy between attacks; This has some advantages, such as being able to adapt more quickly. But there are also drawbacks, as they give your enemies a chance to adjust. ”

"Ebner, take your seat."

He said to Abner on the side.

"Hey, hey! The two of us don't have to fight. ”

Ebner raised his hands, took a step back, and shook his head like a rattle:

"Even if you're empty-handed. I'm no match for you, and no one has been able to stick to ten moves in front of you since I entered the school. ”

Ten moves, I'm afraid it's the result of this guy deliberately hiding his strength.

Natsu muttered in his heart.

After watching the plot, she knows Lorraine's strength very well, this guy is a typical type of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and now his strength is at least more than three turns in Stephanie's words, and there is no difference between fighting nature and abusing vegetables with only two turns at the highest.

"I'm still using the same move, come on, and I'm only using one finger."

Lorraine said.

Although his words sounded arrogant, both Abner and Natsu knew that he was not that kind of person. It's not that I'm deliberately boasting, so I don't even take it to heart.

"Okay then."

Abner thought about it and agreed.

The other party still used the move just now, plus he only had one finger, he should be able to deal with it, after all, his title of strongest shield battle was not for nothing.

And the place they chose is not close to others.,The opponent is recognized as the number one swordsman in the school park.,Even if you're abused, you won't be ashamed.。

"Shhhh

Wait until he is standing. Lorraine's hand made a soft click and tapped three times at EBNER's shield.

"Buzz!!"

These three hits are extremely fast. Together, they became a long chirp.

Abner only felt the shield in his hand sink, and hurriedly used all his strength, the other party was Lorraine, and his movements were 120% more careful.

But as soon as he set up his posture, Lorraine's second move had already arrived, and a small cross was drawn at the place where he had just pointed his finger. Abner's shield jerked upward, neutralizing the first cross slash.

But the second slash suddenly became very powerful, and before his old force could be retracted, he was led away from the side by the other party, and the shield was slanted to the side. A small gap was exposed.

In the next moment, Lorraine's fingers had broken through the defense and pressed against his neck.

If he had used his strength this time, even his fingers could have killed Abner.

"That's the benefit of attack coherence."

Lorraine did not have the slightest smugness on his face, put down his hand, turned to Xia and said:

"Of course, I used a little skill in my second attack just now, otherwise with Abner's strength, it would be difficult for me to break through his defenses."

His words were very comfortable to listen to, and the dead gray expression of Abner looked a little better.

"Alas, I shouldn't have agreed to fight you, it really hurts my self-esteem!"

He sighed and lifted the shield, walked in the direction of the waterhole, shook the broadsword in his hand, and said:

"If you don't fight, I'll go to work, I still have a few bundles of firewood to move......"

Then he left without looking back.

Seeing Abner leave, Natsu threw away the sticks and prepared to return to the camp.

Although she trusted Lorraine's person, it still made her a little uncomfortable for the two of them to be alone, but she had just picked up the scabbard on the ground, but she was stopped by Lorraine.

She turned around and looked at the original man in surprise. The male protagonist, I don't know what happened to him stopping himself.

"I've heard some students say that you know spiritual magic?"

Lorraine seemed a little hesitant, and after a pause, said:

"Can you ......?"

Before he could finish his sentence, suddenly there was a loud noise from the waterfall.

"I'll go back first!"

Natsu pulled out his long black knife and spread his wings and flew over there.

Lorraine looked at her flying figure in the air in a daze on the ground, her eyes revealing a deep amazement, and a hint of ...... Envy.

"Oops, I was so happy to play accidentally, I forgot to come back."

As a result, Xia just flew to the edge of the waterfall when he saw Delia waving to him covered in water, and she looked embarrassed.

"It's good to be back."

After seeing that it was Delia, Xia breathed a sigh of relief, fell to her side, and hugged her hard.

Although the mage's dwelling is safe inside, the surrounding area is a very strange place, and everyone only explored a little bit in the original work. It was here that the bodies of more than a dozen people were left behind, and she had no idea what the consequences would be.

"What's wrong with your clothes?"

Xia was a little surprised when she found that Delia's clothes were a little tattered.

learned the lesson of bursting clothes several times, in order to prevent the girls from running out during the battle, she specially asked Luo Ye for some of the clothes on her body and gave them to Di Liya.

This is a material that has been burned by the fire of hell and is only slightly blackened. Now the set that Di Liya is wearing is actually damaged.

"Did you break into the innermost part?"

Natsu's heart tightened and grabbed her shoulders.

"What's the matter, that cliff is too wide, and the environment is too treacherous, I can't get past it."

Delia shook her head.

Xia thought about it, and it was right, the environment above would be prohibitive even if it was a blizzard princess, so she put her mind at ease for the time being.

Maybe it was because the fight with the monsters was too fierce, so the clothes were torn.

Xia comforted himself in his heart.

"Captain, you've pretty much got everything you want us to prepare."

At this time, a member of the team came to report.

"Okay. After everyone finished eating, they were ready to leave, and some bulky items were temporarily left here, and no one stole them anyway. ”

Natsu said to the team member.

"Wow, it's time to eat."

Delia jumped up from the ground happily and hugged Xia for a while:

"I've been eating raw meat for the past two days, and I didn't bring any spices, and those guys smelled bad to death...... Quick, let's go eat, shall we? ”

She dragged Natsu and ran towards the camp.

……

"Are you all ready? The time is almost up. We're about to go. ”

Xia looked at the team members who sat up from the ground and gave the order to act.

"Say it's a departure...... Where are we going? Captain. ”

Abner said, touching his stomach. His face was full of questions.

"Yes, Captain, have you found any other way besides this place?"

A cadet asked, carrying a bundle of rope on his back.

"Nope."

Xia shook his head and said:

"Tong guò I have a very credible investigation, only through the guò waterfall can go down to the mage's residence, not anywhere else."

The so-called highly credible investigation is nonsense, because even if there are other ways. She didn't know how to get there.

"What does the captain mean?"

Not only Abner and the team, but even Agnes beside her were confused, not knowing what she wanted to say.

"Whoosh!"

Xia spread his wings and flew above the waterhole, pulled out a long black knife, and slashed out a gray knife qi into the air.

"Pop ......"

Some gravel fell from the air. Smashed on the ground.

She walked over and picked up a piece and rubbed it with her fingers, and the surface of her fingers immediately turned pitch black.

"That's what I mean when I say prepare."

She looked up and looked at the rushing water above:

"We've been tested by the current, and it's time for the baptism of fire."

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of the waterfall suddenly became quiet.

"Hey, it seems that there is less water falling on it."

A team member wanted to walk over to take a look, but was severely stopped by Xia: "Come back quickly, don't go near the waterhole!" ”

The team member obediently stopped.

Immediately afterward, the waterfall above stopped pouring down, and the sound of water evaporating came from above everyone's heads.

"Sneer......"

Countless amounts of water vapor began to evaporate on the rocks, and the surrounding air began to become unusually hot.

"Everyone, get ready to defend!"

Xia waved his hand and gave an order to everyone.

Hearing her words, everyone hid behind the rocks, and the mages spread their ice shields and earthen walls, nervously staring at the pool of water that had begun to dry up in front of them.

"Look, what's up there!"

A sharp-eyed team member suddenly pointed to the air and said. (To be continued......) R1292
