Snow began to fall in the Misty Moon, and the Progression Moon was lonely.

The same is true of the whole transit place - during this time, people especially don't want to work because of the cold, and the usual workaholic also shows a rare expression of laziness.

Except for one person.

"Yo, Ke Li, are you here again?" The reception staff at the training ground has been accustomed to the girl who runs to the training ground almost every day for more than a month, "Deliver food to that kid on the second floor of the training ground?"

Corrie greeted him, but nodded.

used to have a helpless or wry expression, saying that seven days to develop a habit, she has no feeling in the past month.

"Hey, let's be honest," the receptionist, who was indeed a veteran of the staff—he had watched Corrie grow up—asked about the gossip on a daily basis, "You really have nothing to do with that awesome young man?"

"Damn, even me and you gossip?!" Ke Li looked surprised when she realized what was going on, "You haven't been home for too long, are you too lonely?!"

Sometimes these boring old men are more terrifying than bored old women......

"Eh, then you are still so concerned about him?" Since you know Ke Li, it is "As soon as Ke Li speaks, she will know if there is one", "Are you sick?!"

“......”

Corrie was helpless, Shule had really helped her a lot in the academy, and he was a very nice person—except for some strange attachments—and there was nothing wrong with helping people in a reasonable way.

But in fact, she was probably coerced.

"Hester came back last month, didn't he?" Corrie twitched at the corner of her mouth.

"Don't mention him to me. Corrie rarely resents a person - not even the Golden Finch has ever given her such a feeling, "When you see me, you know that you will find me to organize papers, collect alchemy materials and run errands!"

"Oh, it's so miserable. The man wanted to say something, but Corrie had already run away in a rage.

On the second floor of the training ground, in this room with no heating equipment, it was actually a little cold, but the teenager standing in the middle of the field was wearing only a thin shirt - and drenched in sweat.

In front of him was a huge metal monster - taller and sturdier than usual, although not very pretty, and even a little hideous-looking - with bronze fangs exposed, a pair of red, burning eyes, and heavy white gas spewing out with a "whoosh" sound.

"It's done, it's the twentieth day, the thirteenth training. The sound of mechanical recording rings in my ears.

Shuer looked at the alchemy machine, and his mind echoed some of the things he had been told when he came a few days ago.

"This training ground was a pilot project of Celis Santa Fes, and was later directly 'promoted' by Hester Santa Fes, but not everyone can support these trainings. "At the end of one training session, the staff talked to him about these things.

"Sirise, Santa Fes—the legendary Santa Fes," Shure didn't show much surprise when he heard this, "Anyway, I'll try." ”

......

Only two of the training instituted by the so-called strangest Santa Fes in history have been announced, and in fact the second is very unacceptable.

Compared to all kinds of bizarre and harsh physical training, it is difficult to accept the battle with the alchemy machine - the machine was originally designed to "surpass people", but at this time, people are required to fight the alchemy machine and need to win?

——

But Shuer seems to be such a dead-eyed person, silently accepted such training, and really let this girl smash several alchemy machines.

At first, it was smashed almost one day at a time, but later, perhaps with Hester's permission, he replaced it with a lot of stronger, even rudimentary machines, which were easy to run wild, and it was only then that Shure suffered.

The nameless machine in front of him was something he hadn't been able to overcome in the past half a month.

——

Click——!

Shul came back from his thoughts and looked up, his golden eyes meeting the machine's burning eyes.

His expression had changed a little from before—some people thought that Shure was living in too naïve circumstances, which was in fact the same—and it was a feeling from the mildness of his usual seemingly indifferent personality.

However, at this time, he was a little different.

......

When Corrie first arrived, she saw a confrontation between machines and humans.

"Damn, isn't this the one from a long time ago, the one that almost knocked down the relay?!" she almost didn't die of fright when she made out the machine.

She's not just watching the fun, if something really happens to Shuer......

"It's not the same one anymore, and many fatal problems have been modified......" The staff looked anxious and hurriedly explained.

"Explain the, do you know how hideous the big guy at their station was when he came running in the other day?"

"......", they really don't know this.

"You know that Hester bastard, just throw the pot at me, and put me in charge with a serious face?!!Responsible for your sister?!"

"......" got it, and I couldn't answer it at all.

What the Hester people were like, everyone who learned knew it......

They coaxed them.

【③】

"But now except for this one, it seems that it has been smashed by that kid. At this time, a staff member couldn't resist Corrie's accusations.

Ke Li was stunned: "...... Is it that fierce?"

She always thought that Xiuer was a "well-behaved and sunny" boy, but she didn't expect that there was still a bit of violence in her heart......

"He's special, he's got a terrible physique, and there's something strange about him. ”

"What, can you put it simply?" Although Corrie can talk nonsense, she is not a person who likes nonsense too much.

Without a good understanding, she couldn't even come up with a reason to deal with an urgent problem.

"Those guys from the Golden Dog Clan, how can they tame such a ...... Monster. "The worker did his best to express himself in words that were too scarce to be clear, "Not to mention the well-hidden fighting mentality, his talent for combat made his training more like 'recalling what he knew before' than the learning process we often say."

"What do you mean...... Shure himself has a talent for fighting that doesn't match his appearance?"

It's not that I feel that Shuer is deeply hidden, or that it is very different from my usual impression of him - in this world, people's impression of academic tyrants is often possible to have such talent.

Merely......

"Look. At this time, the staff reminded Ke Li.
