Chapter 342: The Other Side (Part I)

Ramov first heard of Alyssa's name at the end of the Hundred Years' War, when he was still struggling with recruiting new people for the church, and one day, the kingdom's chief of the guard sneaked up to him and told him to recommend an absolutely gifted new person to join the church.

Alyssa Shucarredo.

Ramov finds the file about Alyssa in the student handbook of the Stove Academy.

All of her grades were among the best, but the academy made a special note at the end of her assessment that she had a serious personality flaw, which delayed her entry into battle by a year. From the mouths of his classmates and teachers around him, Ramov learned that Alyssa was an extremely withdrawn child, and that Alyssa was flawless in every way...... Beautiful appearance, strong strength, but she did not win the admiration of the people around her.

Because, even when the actual teacher of the Wind Furnace Academy talked about Elisa, there was a slight fear in his words.

"Hmm...... At that time, the way of teaching at the Furnace Academy was very different from what you do now. ”

Ramov touched his chin and fell into memory.

During the war, the four major knight academies were the main training bases for the high-end combat power of the Helutia front, and each batch of outstanding students would directly follow the front-line troops to the battlefield when they graduated. The Hundred Years' War, as the name suggests, was a long war that lasted for hundreds of years, and at the end of the war, it had already formed an unspoken rule.

Before driving the students to the battlefield, the actual combat class of the Wind Furnace Academy will teach the students the last and most practical lesson for them.

- Killing.

The army must ensure that every soldier sent to the front is a qualified soldier, and that mercy to the enemy on the battlefield is cruelty to oneself, and may even harm one's own comrades. When bandits were rampant, some fanatics who tried to make war money formed gangs and attacked Helutia's supply lines in the rear all year round, so the students of the Knight Academy took their graduation exams before rushing to the battlefield to eliminate the bandits raging on the periphery of the imperial capital.

There are many students who have a psychological barrier to killing and cannot kill the enemy, and the teacher who guides the students in actual combat will conduct a detailed evaluation of each student, and send those who meet the standards to the front line, and those who do not meet the standards are usually sent to the logistics supply kingdom, or stay in their respective knight schools to assist in teaching.

"Shadow rarely asks others, so in order to learn more about Alyssa's potential, I hid in the shadows and watched the entire battle to destroy the bandits......"

Speaking of this, Ramov seemed to recall something bad, and his face was a little gloomy.

"What's going on?" Lin Qiu asked.

"Uh...... Ei is right, Alyssa is excellent. Those who dare to gang up on the periphery of the imperial capital are usually evil parties with some strength, and sometimes they are mixed with scum who have been expelled by the army, so in order to ensure the safety of the students, it is usually the actual combat teacher who secretly ensures their safety. ”

Although Ei is a person who likes to brag, this time, he is not exaggerating at all.

Alyssa's strength was beyond Ramov's expectations.

Her strength was close to that of the Templars before she graduated, and with her terrifying marking ability, those bandits were no match for her.

Alyssa slaughtered almost all of the bandits by herself, and when she came out of the proposed stronghold, she was drenched in blood, and the students who were with her were far away from her.

Even more unexpectedly, it was ...... At that time, Alyssa seemed to have no mercy at all.

No, the lack of kindness was not enough to describe her state at that time - Ramov clearly remembered that Alyssa had a very different expression from the frightened or solemn expressions of the students around her, and she smiled very happily.

Alyssa rarely smiled, so the sudden smile surprised Ramov, but at the same time, it also made him a little creepy.

He felt that Alyssa enjoyed the feeling of killing, that she was like a child who had found a novelty toy.

"After everyone left, I went in and checked...... All the robbers felt like they had exploded from their bodies, and I bet you would never want to see it. ”

After listening to Ramov's narration, Lin Qiu couldn't help but think of the Elisa he saw in the spiritual world of Urusos—a cold and bloodthirsty smile, a look full of murderous intent, that picture...... It seems to be much like what Ramov described.

"Later, I submitted my assessment to the Stove Academy, and they delayed Alyssa's arrival on the battlefield, and the church did not include her in the recruitment list of new recruits. ”

"And then?"

"I'm sure you've heard about the rest of the story. I decided to get to know the child in more detail, and I soon discovered that Ei wasn't Alyssa's only teacher...... In fact, there is someone else who has been teaching Eliza swordsmanship and combat skills. ”

"Hundred winds. Lin Qiu blurted out.

"That's right, she was the leader of the Assassin Guild, and it was the most active time for the Assassin Guild, and I learned that while both Shadow and Hundred Wind wanted Alyssa to be a knight of the Church, Alyssa wanted to be like Hundred Wind. What's more...... She seems to be mistaken - Hundred Wind repeatedly refuses her to join the Assassin Guild because he does not want Alyssa to follow her own path, but Alyssa mistakenly believes that she has killed not enough people. ”

After learning the whole story, Ramov had somewhat guessed why Alyssa enjoyed the killing.

Because it was really just a game for her, she had a notepad that she carried with her, and with each enemy she killed, the number on the notebook would grow a little, and Alyssa felt that if the numbers accumulated to a certain extent, the doors of the Assassins' Guild would be open to her.

But that's not the case.

Knowing the gloom of this path, Hyaven didn't want Alyssa to follow in his footsteps, and with Elisa's talent, she should be seen as a hero, not a killing machine whose name has been abandoned.

"So at Ei's request, I found Alyssa privately and made a pact with her......"

"Agreed?"

"I told her about the Four Knots Seal, and promised that as soon as she unlocked the Fourth Seal, he would personally meet with Hyakaze and recommend Alyssa to the Assassin Guild. ”

But......

They all knew that this was a promise that would never be fulfilled, because the seal in Elisa's body was not a fourth-order seal, but an improved ordinary seal, which meant that no matter how hard she tried, the seal would not be broken—because the four chains did not exist at all.

"At first we just wanted to distract her from the ...... Well, killing people is your number one priority. We invented a way to break the seal, and Ying decided to stay by Alyssa's side throughout the year and try to steer her on the right path. ”

"But ......"

Ramov paused: "But suddenly one day Alyssa found me and said that she had seen a monster made of blood in her sleep. ”
