Claude was dazed, feeling like he was constantly falling.
There was darkness all around, and the speed of his fall seemed to be accelerating and then slowing down.
In a daze, he felt himself falling into a sea of flowers, surrounded by endless white light. The light was soft and not dazzling.
Claude sat among the sea of flowers with his head lowered, his mind was muddled, and no idea could be condensed into shape.
【Are you okay?】
A man dressed exactly like him stood in front of him with a concerned tone.
Who is it? Who is speaking? Claude tried hard to focus on recalling the owner of the voice, but he couldn't help but said: "Well...it's okay."
【At that time, I just scratched my knee.】
"that time?"
【How is it this time? Can you still get up?】
"……this time?"
Claude felt dizzy and his mind became increasingly confused.
[Don’t worry, just focus on your body now. Can your body still move? 】
The voice sounded gentle and concerned.
Claude closed his eyes and his voice regained some composure: "I'll try."
【Take your time and move little by little.】
"I know." Claude felt the power gradually return to his body.
Who is it? Just as he was about to look back at that figure, another unfamiliar voice came from the distant horizon——
"Hello?"
"Hello? Are you okay?"
"Hello--??"
Who is it!? Claude opened his eyes suddenly, and what he saw was the broken wooden beams. The roof, which was also made of wood, also had a big hole, and a huge steel disk could be seen in the distance.
Claude struggled to stand up and found himself in an empty church. He looked around, and when he looked to the right, he suddenly found a figure squatting next to him, looking at him with concern.
This is a very sweet and lovely beauty with long brown hair styled into braids, a pink headscarf tied into a bow at the back of her head, and wearing a red coat and a pink dress.
At this time, when she saw Claude waking up, she couldn't help but laugh: "It's great, I finally woke up."
Claude stood up and put the huge destruction sword on his back again: "Who are you?"
"Alice, you can call me Alice."
Alice also stood up and put her hands on her hips: "You smashed the ceiling of the church and fell into my flower field. Is this what the teacher often calls the 'Heavenly Fall'?"
Claude was stunned, and then he realized that he was in a large flower field. He didn't know whether to leave or stay put: "Uh, is this the flower you planted? Sorry!"
Alice smiled and stopped his embarrassing movements: "It doesn't matter, this place is very special, and the flowers are very tough. You fell from such a high place and still survived unharmed. It should be because the flower field has cushioned most of the impact for you."
"Thank you."
Claude nodded: "I have another question...?"
"This is the abandoned church located on the outskirts of the slums on Wufan Street. Is that what you want to ask about?"
Alice walked slowly around Claude with her hands behind her back: "You are definitely not from the Wufan Street slums. Where do you want to go? Maybe I can give you directions."
"Qifan Street Slums." Claude always felt that this woman named Alice focused most of her attention on the sword behind her.
Alice suddenly became excited: "Ah, Qifan Street... Then have you ever been to a bar called 'Seventh Heaven'? The owner is particularly handsome."
"If the 'Seventh Heaven' you are talking about is the same as what I know, then your understanding of 'handsome' must be different from ordinary people." Claude couldn't help but complain.
"Oh, it seems that you have indeed been to Seventh Heaven and know the teacher." Alice nodded in confirmation.
"Teacher...you mean Heather?"
"Yes, Teacher Heather is the teacher who taught me the 'fitness technique'. By the way, I am the teacher's candidate girlfriend!" Alice said the shocking remarks with a smile.
Candidate, candidate girlfriend? Heather, you bastard! How dare you let Tifa down!?
For a moment, Cloud really wanted to rush back to Qifan Street and hack Heather to death. Having Tifa wasn't enough, but he actually provoked other girls outside, and it was a forbidden relationship like a teacher-student relationship! Damn it!
!
At this time, Alice asked as if unintentionally: "Speaking of which, there is a sales girl named Tifa in Seventh Heaven? Does she have a good relationship with Teacher Heather?"
"Tifa is a bartender in Seventh Heaven, not a waitress."
Super straight man Claude seriously corrected the error in Alice's words: "She and Heather..."
Bang!
Before he finished speaking, the church door was suddenly pushed open.
Several heavily armed Shinra soldiers filed in, and the last person who walked in was a man in a suit with red hair tied into a ponytail. This man was none other than Reno, a member of the Shinra Company's secret service, Tuckers.
"Oh my, it's quite lively here."
Renault put the metal short stick on his shoulder, still looking carefree: "It's time to go, miss."
"You don't have to worry about it, Renault. I have a new bodyguard, the Shinra Special Forces." Alice hid behind Claude, stuck her head out and stuck out her tongue at Renault.
"bodyguard?"
Renault looked at Claude, who looked wary, and took a closer look at his eyes: "Or the Shinra Special Forces? Oops, it looked into Mako's eyes."
"Former Shinra special forces." Claude scanned the surrounding environment and the Shinra soldiers behind Renault, thinking about the possibility of escaping or killing him in the shortest possible time.
"I'll take you to the [Bar], how about you temporarily act as my bodyguard?" Alice whispered in Claude's ear.
Claude thought for a while and felt that this could be done, so he quickly pulled out the huge metal sword [Destruction Sword] from behind.
He didn't see Alice's eyes light up in vain when he pulled out the destroyer sword.
Renault shook his stick and said jokingly: "Haha, they are really special forces? What class are they?"
"1st." Claude put on a posture and was very serious.
"1...Pfft hahaha!"
Renault was stunned for a moment and then couldn't help laughing. While laughing, he sarcastically said: "Only you? 1st is too ridiculous, isn't it?"
He is a veteran agent in the Taxi. There are only a handful of 1st warriors in the Shinra Company. Every one of them is the elite of the elite. How could he not recognize him? The blond boy in front of him does not belong to his memory at all.
Given the identity and appearance of any 1st soldier, he probably stole a 1st soldier's special combat uniform from somewhere and then swindled it, right? Renault had seen too many punks who claimed the title of special forces and then defrauded money and sex.
But you are too brave, and you actually cheated Alice. Not to mention that Director Zeng and even the entire Shinra Company attach great importance to Alice, do you know who her master is?
Bang! Renault suddenly shook off the metal stick in his hand, and electric current began to wrap around it.
Forget it, let me teach this fledgling gangster a lesson and let him know what "there is a sky beyond the sky".
