This was one day ten years ago. At just eight years old, Isu was led by a man in black to the training base under the organization's underground. It was a gloomy hall, surrounded by stone walls made of unknown materials. A tall black dome hangs above, and nothing is installed that might illuminate it. Isu, who had not yet recovered from the death of her parents being eaten by demons in front of her, pulled the man in black next to her in fear. was ruthlessly thrown away by the man in black. A big man with a meaty face came out of the darkness.

"Gru, I'll leave this little guy to you. The man in black pushed Yso forward, just in time to be held in the big man's hand.

"Yes. You're the 166th to arrive. The big man smiled at Isu, and the white teeth made Isu shudder.

"From today onwards, you are the student of the 122nd batch number 166. The big man put his face close to Ysu, "I don't care what your name is, but from now on, anyone who hears this number will be called you." Do you understand?"

Izuy nodded in fear.

"Also, if you want to live. Just do your best not to let yourself die. The big man carried Isu into the darkness.

The light in the hall was dim, but you could still faintly see some little girls in white tight-fitting training clothes, all of them were about the same age as Isu, and the childishness on their faces had not subsided at all. Some of them were as frightened as Iso, and they sat huddled on the ground and shivered. Some of them were unusually calm, looking curiously at Isu, the newcomer.

Dahan left again after putting down Isu, and after a while, a little girl appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Isu forced herself to compose, and although she was afraid, she was not so afraid that she would sit on the ground and tremble. She just sneaked into the darkness and took a few deep breaths.

Suddenly, Izu felt something on his shoulder. When he turned around, he found that it was a girl who was almost a head taller than herself, putting her hand on her shoulder.

"I didn't expect you to be quite bold as a little man!" she smiled at Izu, "My name is Galadia." Oh, and the number is 66. "Apparently she's the 66th to be here. During this time, she had already seen a lot of girls who were too scared to do anything - they were so scared that they couldn't stand up on their knees, they sat on the ground with their arms folded and cried, screaming where are you, Mom and Dad...... Too much, too much. But she herself was basically free of any mood swings when she came, and when she saw the incredible eyes of the first 65 people looking at her, she knew that they were not much different from the last 99. However, Izu's performance piqued her interest, and before she knew it, he walked up to her side and put it on her shoulder.

Izuy raised an eyebrow and waved away Galadia's hand. "My name is Izu. No. 166. Looks like you're quite bold. ”

Hehe, interesting. Galadia looked down at the man in front of her.

"If you don't even have this bit of guts, how can you become a great sword to slay demons? ”

Enlightened...... Izu didn't reply, but she glanced at Galadia rather imposingly.

In the middle of the conversation between the two men, the hall was growing larger. The big man named Gru suddenly roared: "All the little ghosts are numbered for me, fifteen people in a row." Whoever doesn't stand in line will wait to be whipped!"

After hearing this, the little girls moved one after another, but there were still people who were still in a panic and fell to the ground, unable to move.

Ten minutes passed. "Can't even get in line?!" Gru was furious, pulling out the leather whip around his waist and whipping the ground "crackle". The girls stood up and lined up under the pressure of their eyes.

I'm your instructor for the next three years. Remember my name, it's Gru. Do you understand?"

No one answered him, except for the faint sound of swallowing saliva echoing through the hall.

"Explain it, instructor!" Gru snapped and threw the whip to the ground.

"Got it, instructor!" shouted in unison.

"Hmph. Next, a dormitory is assigned. One dormitory for every 10 people per unit. Do you understand?"

"Got it, instructor!"

"Okay, number 1-10 is out of the line, and the first room on the right side of this corridor is your bedroom. ”

"Nos. 11-20, the first room on the left side of this corridor. ”

"No. 21-30, the second room on the right side of this corridor. ”

“......”

"No. 291-300, room fifteen on the left side of this corridor. ”

"Okay, it's allocated. Let's disperse today. Tomorrow morning, when the clock rings at 5 a.m., you will need to line up in this hall and wait for me. Got it?"

"Got it, instructor!"

For the next two years, every minute except sleep was an ordeal for everyone. The daily training volume is large and increasing, and every month someone is quitting the ranks of training, and everyone knows that the so-called quitting is actually death.

By the time the so-called two-year basic training was over, there were only 160 of the original 300 people left.

"Congratulations on making it through these two years. The next three years will be guided by the Reserve Warriors. But before you can do that, you first have to pass a test. Gru said grimly, "That's a fusion with demon flesh and blood." Only then will you have the strength to slay demons. ”

That night, all the trainees were knocked unconscious by the organization. By the time they woke up, it was already a few days later.

"Hmm......" Izu let out a slight moan. The first thing that catches your eye is the stone room, which is a dormitory based on black. But it seems to be a little different from the original one, and the conditions seem to be better than the previous one.

"Why did you wake up? Esu. The voice coming from his side could not be more familiar.

"It's just me and you in this room. But think about it, too. After all, he is the first and second among the trainees. Galadia sat on her stone bed and looked at Isu, "Judging from the time you wake up, you really can only be the second place." ”

It turned out to be a two-person bedroom, no wonder it felt a little empty. There used to be ten people crammed into a room that wasn't much bigger than that.

"You'll be less proud, Galadia. Izuy replied angrily.

Both of them have similar results in all disciplines in training, and are well above the general public. Therefore, the two have argued countless times about who is stronger, and they will also have a discussion from time to time. But the two have never faced each other in sparring, probably because the organization is afraid of losing good seedlings. Therefore, the fact that Galadia's overall evaluation is higher than her own makes Isu very unhappy, but she is powerless to change it. However, because of this, the two have become rivals who are more serious to each other.

In order to thoroughly prove the question of who is stronger.

"Now, little man. If you want to prove who is stronger, let's make a bet. Galadia stood in front of Isu, who was only half a head shorter than herself, and held out her hand.

"Uh-huh, don't just call me a dwarf!" Izu, though still shorter than Galadia, was already above average.

"If you're shorter than me, you're still short. Galadia's words made Isu even more displeased.

"What kind of bet? I'll be with you to the end. ”

"Then listen up. If the fusion of the two of us goes smoothly, from today onwards, without liberating any demonic power, the victory condition is to capture the other party, and whoever captures the other party first 600 times will win this bet. ”

"Okay. Then give a high-five. ”

By the way, the loser must not only admit that he is inferior to the other party, but also unconditionally agree to the other party's one condition. Galadia shrank her hand away from Yzu's palm.

"How is it, do you dare to take it?"

"Why don't you dare!" Izu's "snapped" and slammed into Galadia's palm, which was once again steady.

"Then the bet contract is officially established. The two said in unison.
