Chapter 102 The oath under the stars(1/5)

After the second day of the martial arts competition, the four Guerrillas returned to the Guerrilla Association to report to Ainan. When asked to find a suitable training venue, Ainan took out a copy of the underground waterway of the royal capital.

The key was handed to Jin, the team leader.

"This is one of the underground waterway keys managed by the Royal Capital Branch. Use this key to open the entrance to the underground waterway next to the Wangli Arena. After entering the area over there, you may encounter quite powerful monsters. Esty

Ersan, Joshua San, Agathe, and Mr. Jin, I heard that you successfully entered the finals. Although it is a bit regretful for Cruz and the others, I heard that the competition was very exciting."

"Well, I originally thought it was a fierce battle. But it can't be compared with the next one. Compared with the seniors, our strength still needs to be improved..." Estelle is still a little bit

Self-aware.

"Although that Second Lieutenant Lawrence lost, he is still a great master. And silver hair is really rare among Liber people." Jin recalled the true appearance of Second Lieutenant Lawrence.

"Brother Jin, have you forgotten? Silver Flash Sherazade also has silver hair." Agathe said.

"Yes, I accidentally forgot about Sheila-kun. I'm sorry, but compared to Sheila-kun's hair color, Lieutenant Lawrence's hair color is more golden. It seems to be called 'pale blonde', right?"

I didn’t expect that he would be eliminated in the semi-finals. Things are so unpredictable.”

"It's useless to think about that. We have to fight that guy tomorrow, and we have to work harder," Agathe said.

"Brother Agathe is right, that is not an enemy that can be easily fought. We need to carefully study the tactics we will use tomorrow." Joshua said.

"With this kind of ambition, I think you will continue to make progress." Ainan nodded to them.

While Ainan was talking, the guerrillas who had returned first also walked down the stairs. The blue-haired Karuna and the red-haired Kurac chatted a few words with Team Jin.

"You have to participate in the finals tomorrow. As representatives of the Guerrilla Association, it's up to you tomorrow. Well, actually, it's not our turn to say these things. Fortunately, your team will win. If our team faced that stronger team

You are such a shameless oriental martial artist, we probably have no chance of winning," Karuna said.

"Although we lost today, the game itself does not make me regret it at all. Agathe, let's learn from each other and improve after you return to Perth." Kurac, who is also a sword wielder, recognized Agathe.

After gaining strength, the attitude towards Agathe is no longer the same as that of seniors towards juniors.

"Okay, no problem. I'll go back to Perth after I finish my business in the royal capital." Agathe agreed immediately.

After coming out of Wangli Arena, Qiaoste did not return to the embassy immediately, but asked Ling to go shopping with her. Looking at Qiaoste lingering in front of various shops asking questions, Ling felt that she was not real

It's shopping, but it's a job similar to gathering intelligence.

"Of course. Since you want to enter the social circle, the places you have been to before will become indispensable topics of conversation. Now that you have come to Liber's Flower City, wouldn't it be in vain if you don't check out the local customs and customs here?

Already."

"I don't see that you are quite understanding. I thought you were the more open-minded and heroic type."

"Well, you want to say that I'm careless, right? But even so, I'm still working hard." There was no anger in Qiaoste's words. Moreover, when she treated Ling, she was not as respectful as she was at the beginning.

Respectfully. We spent an afternoon watching the game together and chatting together in the arena, and we have almost become familiar with each other.

"But compared to our Erebonian Empire, the situation in the Kingdom of Liber is really complicated. The Queen, the Royal Army, and the Intelligence Department, I can't tell who is the leader of Grancel. I heard

Lieber completely abolished the aristocratic system a hundred years ago, which weakened the royal power, right? In our empire, His Majesty the Emperor is the highest authority."

"Haha, Rivers, who lives in the countryside, probably doesn't feel it. The situation in the imperial capital will only be more complicated. Let me give you a vaccination, whether you are aristocrats or reformists, they are our 'enemies'." Airey

The level of chaos in the Bonian Empire is far higher than that of the Liberian Kingdom. If you don't stay vigilant about this, you will definitely be led by the nose by the old foxes and little foxes in the imperial capital.

Ling had fun with Jost for a while, and then returned to the Imperial Embassy when it was almost dusk.

At the door of the embassy, ​​Soldier Campbell was heard complaining again, "Why do people in the embassy allow people like Olivier to go out? Can't they just lock him up in the embassy..."

If it was at noon, Jost would not feel anything after hearing this, but after knowing Olivier's true identity and hearing this again, she would feel a strange sense of alienation and understanding. Because she agreed to Ling

Olivier's identity would not be revealed to the public, so she pretended not to hear Soldier Campbell's words.

After finishing her meal at the embassy, ​​Ling returned to the historical museum.

She planned to use her evening time to finish tomorrow's translation workload in advance.

Agathe, who had a bruised nose and face, was being treated by Estelle's guidance magic. At the request of Estelle, Joshua, and Agathe, after knocking down the monster entrenched in the underground waterway, Jin

He used his real skills to beat them up.

"But that kid Joshua is really awesome. At the beginning, he was completely unable to parry and was shot away just like us, but gradually he was able to keep up with Brother Jin's movements."

"Of course, my Joshua is very powerful!" Estelle said proudly.

"But just being able to keep up is not enough. The accumulated injuries are already serious. It is only a matter of time before we lose this time." Agathe said, looking at the situation.

"That's it!" Jin used Yuehua Palm to knock away the two swords Joshua used to parry his attack, and stopped five miles in front of his chest.

Panting heavily, Joshua's legs weakened and he fell to his knees.

"The consumption of physical strength and energy has almost reached the limit. If you continue to practice, it will be a burden on your body. How about we stop here tonight?" Jin said.

In just one hour, the three of them have been defeated dozens of times together. But compared with the situation when they were beaten to death by Jin Yongyuehua Palm in the first few seconds, the current situation is much better. Although it will still happen

They were completely suppressed in less than three minutes, but it was a leap forward compared to the beginning. It was not because their frontal strength had been substantially improved, but because after accumulating experience, they could see their position clearly.

.No longer rush forward recklessly and kill people, but wait for opportunities to look for opportunities, so you can survive longer in the battle.

"Okay, okay. I thought I could practice all night, but I didn't expect that we couldn't hold on for just an hour." Agathe nodded with difficulty.

"Haha, you are all very qualified. Your performance is much better than my original performance. Maybe you squeezed out your potential at the critical moment. There is still time tomorrow morning, we can practice again, don't worry too much

Don't worry. Victory and defeat are normal things. Don't worry too much about it. Only by constantly pursuing higher is the path we should really take."

"Well, Mr. Jin, you talk about big principles in the same way. Just like the teachers in school." Estelle felt a little dizzy when she heard the big principles.

"Oh, I'm really sorry about that. It's a human fault to be a teacher. I didn't notice it at once, haha. Don't take it to heart."

After Jin finished speaking, he looked at Joshua again, "Joshua, are you okay? Are you exhausted? I didn't strike lightly. Your burden just now was heavier than Estelle and Agathe."

"No, I don't have a problem. It's better to say that I'm gradually finding the feeling. I used to feel awkward in swinging the sword, but now I can completely control it." Joshua pulled out the Black Chidori and White Chidori and swung it a few times.

The sharp sword light cut through the airflow to form multiple wind blades, which made people feel a fierceness.

"Estil and Agathe have made significant progress, but the one who gained the most today is Joshua. I was a little concerned when I fought with you before. You were just imitating the swordsmanship of Lieutenant Lawrence.

?”

Hearing what Jin said, Estelle and Agathe both looked at him with suspicion.

"Huh? Is that so?" Estelle asked.

"Good boy, let's go together with me." Agathe also said.

"How should I put it? Although Lieutenant Lawrence used a big sword, he walked in a light and fast way. It is similar to the wind style that my father taught me. Because my father no longer uses a sword.

, so I didn’t know how a swordsman should fight before. This time I got inspiration from Second Lieutenant Lawrence’s sword moves and learned a lot. Don’t make fun of me, I have my own style.

It should feel like swinging a sword like this. When I was fighting with Mr. Jin, I would think about how Second Lieutenant Lawrence would draw the sword at this moment, and then my body would act instinctively. I didn't expect that I could really keep up.

." Joshua said a little embarrassed.

"When martial arts reaches its peak, different paths lead to the same goal. Although the schools are different, the principles we all understand are similar. Estelle, you study spirals, right? Although my major is the immovable style, our master style also has spirals.

I have also mastered some basic moves of this type. If you don’t mind, you can learn more from me while I’m staying in the Kingdom of Liber.”

"Ah, Mr. Jin, thank you so much!" Estelle bowed to Jin.

They separated after leaving the underground waterway. Jin went back to the Calvard Embassy to rest, while Estelle, Joshua and Agathe dragged their exhausted bodies back to the association.

"You are back. It seems that everyone has gained a lot. By the way, a reporter from Liber News Agency came to see you just now. I told him to go back first since you were not here."

"Ah, it must be Mr. Nair! I forgot about it!" Estelle stuck out her tongue, only to realize that she had almost let him go because she paid too much attention to the martial arts competition.

"Actually, we asked reporters from Liber News Agency to help collect intelligence a few days ago. Maybe there is news, so we will go and check the situation."

Estelle and others had been looking for a way to contact the queen before participating in the martial arts competition. After meeting Nairbands who had a relationship with the Luan area at the Yulibel News Agency, they agreed to exchange information with each other if there was any news.

To the guerrillas, reporter Nair, who was involved in Mayor Delmon's malfeasance case, is a trustworthy person.

"If I had known earlier, I would have told reporters that you, brother Ainan, are trustworthy. That way you wouldn't have to make an extra trip."

"Haha, don't mind. I look forward to your good news. Do you need me to inform Mr. Jin at the Embassy of the Republic?" Ainan asked.

"No, no, no. It's just an exchange of information. There shouldn't be any big problems. We'll explain it to Mr. Jin tomorrow," Estelle said.

After leaving the association, the three guerrillas went straight to the news agency.

It was already after get off work time, and there was only one person on the second floor. They saw Nair, who looked like a sloppy uncle but was actually not yet thirty years old.

"Hey, Nair!" Estelle called someone's name in a long voice.

"Excuse me." After seeing the other party turning his head, Joshua nodded to him.

Agathe did not speak, as he was not familiar with Nel. Since he was known to both Estelle and Joshua, he felt free to leave it to them to negotiate.

"...Oh, I'm finally here. It's not in vain for me to go to the association myself." The green-haired young man with a cigarette in his mouth looked at the three people from the Guerrilla Association.

"By the way, you must have won today too. That guy Dorothy was very happy when he came back."

"Ah, um. I didn't even notice that Miss Dorothy also went to watch the game. Ah, speaking of which, Ling-chan is also here!? Ah, I regret it..." Estelle looked annoyed.

"So, Mr. Nair, about that matter..." Joshua saw that Estelle was about to change the subject, and quickly brought it back.

"Oh Duo, let's get to the point right away? Here you go... I've collected the resumes of the main members."

Nair took out a black-covered folder and handed it to the guerrillas.

"Is this the personnel file of the Royal Army?" Estelle asked after reading the label on the cover.
