Early in the morning, Ling first took a train from Palm to the old capital of Baia, Saint-Jacques, the capital of Chasarante state (a large city located in the southwest of the empire) and took a train to the imperial capital Heimdall (located in the center of the empire).
.Then transfer to another guided train in the imperial capital heading for Balliahat, the capital of the Kruchen region. The suburban city of Tolista, which is the destination, is located where the transfer train is located.
The first stop on this main line is located about 500 cels from the imperial capital on the map.
In the carriage were twos and threes students wearing the same green uniform as her. The opening ceremony was on March 31, so many people would choose to report to the Thorz Military Academy the day before.
However, just as Ling looked out of the window at the rapidly reversing scenery outside the car, within the range of her perception, a worrying aura came from another car.
Standing up from her seat, Ling walked to the car behind her. With a glance, Ling quickly found her target. Just as she had sensed, it was an acquaintance with snow-green (light purple) hair.
appeared in her sight.
Silently walked up to the other party and sat down on the empty seat in front of him. Ling looked at the green student uniform on the other party that was exactly the same as her own, and frowned, feeling that things were not simple.
"Senior Kruger, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Why are you here?"
The Executor of the Body-Eating Snake, No. 9 Death Line Kruger, was Ling's teacher in makeup and cross-dressing techniques and dagger combat skills when she was in the training center. The last time I met her was in the Kingdom of Liber last year.
The base at Lake Valyria. It was only through the battle with her that the people around her recognized her qualifications to become an official executor.
"Haha, Xiaoling is the one. You have grown so much after not seeing you for a year. I never thought I would meet you here. When I saw this name on the student list, I thought it was someone else. In addition,
I am currently a maid in the house of Mr. Gunn, the president of Imperial Heavy Industries Reinford Group. Please call me 'Sharon'. I am in the third shift, what about you?"
"Same as Class 3. That 'Death Merchant' Ryan Forte? Aren't you here because of the association's actions?"
As famous as the Urnu Society of the Republic, as one of the largest arms dealers in the world, the Lionfoot Group's reputation among the outside world is not very good, perhaps even worse than that of the assassination organization Moonlight Trojans.
"Well, it can't be said that it has nothing to do with it. Lady Irinareinford is the permanent director of the Thors Military Academy. I followed Lady Irina's will to study here. She also hopes that I can obtain
After getting a higher education, I participated in the operation of the group. By the way, I also helped cover for another adult. Because we are both seventeen or eighteen years old, which is the most suitable age for admission to the Thors Military Academy.
"
"Oh, is that so?" Ling recalled that in the plot of "Sen no Kiseki", it seems that Kruger did run to work as a maid for Irina. I remember that it should have started seven years before the plot of "Sen no Kiseki" began.
, that is, last year? In this way, not long after Ling and Kruger played against each other in March last year, she went to Irina's side.
Seeing her current executor colleague who was talking to her in a friendly manner, Ling found that the other person had really changed a lot in this year. At least on the face of Kruger, who had fought against her a year ago, it would never show.
The smile comes from this demeanor. A year ago, Kruger gave people the same impression as Joshua, "I am a killer without emotions." This is probably the feeling.
And her words also mentioned interesting information.
"Another adult", "we", "all seventeen or eighteen years old"
These words seemed to reveal something that Ling hadn't considered at all.
"Don't be too pretentious, who is that adult? Do I know him too?"
"You probably don't know Xiaoling yet. I wonder if you have heard of Blue Abyss?"
It's her? The second pillar of the dignified Snake Apostle actually came to Thorz to fool around...
"Vita Clotilde" is the senior sister of "Emma Milstin", the squad leader of Class 7 in the plot of "Kiseki of Cold Steel". If you think about it carefully, Emma, who should be a traveling witch, will come to Officer Thorz
The academy may be following in the footsteps of its own senior sister, so it may be true that Vita would come to school.
No, wait, if it’s for the Alliance Leader’s Phantom Flame Plan, and for the Gray Riding God Valima under the old school building of Thors, then all of this makes sense. I’ll go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. As of now,
It's the only one of the four Horse Gods that has yet to show up. It would be strange if the Guild didn't come to investigate.
Ling originally thought that she wouldn't meet any original characters when she came to school this time, but she didn't expect to meet two of them before she even arrived at school, and it seemed like they were both in the same class... That was enough.
While Ling was thinking, Kruger, no, the girl named Sharon now spoke up.
"It seems that you have heard about her. Did you hear it from the Sword Emperor? It is said that Master Abyss seems to be very concerned about Master Sword Emperor's affairs. However, Ling, it is too strange for you to come to Thorz Military Academy.
Okay. Although there is no age limit for admission, I remember that your actual age should be..."
"Thirteen years old. My current registration age is thirteen years old, Sister Sharon." Before setting off, Ling specifically asked the village elder to help her change her identity certificate.
"I see, then please take good care of me when you get to school, Xiaoling."
The wheels were turning, and the guided train was moving very quickly. It had passed two-thirds of the distance in the blink of an eye. It would soon reach Tolista, its destination.
"It's a bit concerning. You mentioned covering up before, right? Is there anyone worth worrying about?"
"I was just about to tell you about this. If you are here, you will definitely be able to help a lot. Among the new students of Thors this time, there are two particularly noteworthy people. I wonder if you have
Ever heard of Iron Chancellor Osborne?"
Ling nodded. After Sharon finished speaking, the vertical paintings of certain people appeared in her mind.
"I don't know if it's intentional or not, but our movements seem to be being followed by the Imperial Military Intelligence Agency. It's not easy to launch operations in a huge empire. The Iron-Blooded Prime Minister of the Erebonia Empire is very wary of our association's actions.
.”
"Oh, their names are...?"
"Lecter is seventeen years old. Claire is eighteen years old. They are both at the right age to enter school. And what's more noteworthy is that they are both in class three like us. It's so deliberate that it's hard not to notice.
degree."
The red-haired and blue-haired secret agents are indeed the two of them, and the two of them are of the same age. In the plot of "Sen no Kiseki", most of the prime minister's iron-blooded sons were graduates of the Thors Military Academy.
, although the specific year was not mentioned, it now seems to be the result of deliberate arrangements. It turns out that the battle of wits between the imperial government and the association started so early, and she just made up for it by chance, and the wrestling between the two sides just started.
Just entered the game before.
"Speaking of which, you can even get a detailed list of personnel. Is this the power of Mr. Ryan Fult, the permanent director?"
"That's right. So, Xiaoling, would you like some snacks? I still have some left here."
"No, um, let's have a piece. Just one piece."
After Sharon opened the lunch box, the smell of milk made Ling immediately change her mind. She opened her mouth and let Sharon stuff the biscuits into her mouth. The crispy texture quickly spread in her mouth.
...Thanks for riding, next stop, Tolista, Tolista.
The voice of the conductor came from the loudspeaker. As the two chatted, the guided train arrived at the station soon.
"Then let's go, Xiaoling."
Holding hands and being led by Sharon, the two people, also wearing green school uniforms, got off the train to the platform of Tolista Station together.
