Chapter 20
update icon Updated at 2025/7/31 19:10:12

The situation on the second day was better than the first day, as we only received one challenge. Although the Blue Sea Knights continued to challenge Lanya, Lanya unexpectedly used a grenade to immobilize the opponent and win the match. I think Marsha must be going crazy now, right?

After considering it carefully, we decided to let Loyce take on our second day's challenge. As one of the few normal members in our team, Loyce finally made today's battle the longest one since the beginning of the war.

Of course, the challenge was against a member of the Black Prince Knights. After all, the battle strength of the Cleansing Team seemed to be more formidable. It was easy to tell which team to choose. Moreover, it was the first draw since the battles began, as both fighters fell and were sent to the infirmary. Although enchantments ensured that there were no fatal injuries, they were still harmed.

Unlike us, who rely on various skills to play dirty, their battles are full of swordplay and skillful techniques. Although I don't understand it, it seems impressive. The fact that two people can fight with such coordination is not easy.

In conclusion, the situation on the second day was very good. It seems that everyone is preparing for the team battle tomorrow.

Due to the agreement we reached, Dale's research lab is now connected to the Sane Gate system, and the infiltration work has become smoother. However, it seems that the three knight orders have not established their own databases, so it is impossible to infiltrate them. But by monitoring the academy's network, we are sure to find clues. At least, that's what we believe.

On Mary's side, we have started investigating the relationship between our system and this world. At the same time, we have begun researching methods to enter the abyss again. Although this world is interesting, it is not a sustainable way to keep living like this. It is the right thing to understand why we returned to this place.

However, the entrance to the Abyss of the Ais Empire has been thoroughly sealed, so it is impossible to enter from there. But it seems that no other places have been found that could lead to the abyss. Now, Dale is also searching for information in the library that has been input into the terminal machine, hoping to find relevant information from the books that contain legends. But at this rate, who knows when we will find out.

"Well~ Anyway, we won't get old, so continuing this lazy life is also a good choice~" These were Mary's exact words. Although she hides her title with technology, she can't hide her lazy teacher's aura.

This was also the reason for the special invasion incident that happened at the academy before. Her experimental robot went berserk due to a programming issue...

In any case, after finding the relevant information, we should continue our battles at the academy. Because Dale said that after he issued a challenge yesterday, he received a new mission prompt. It seems that this mission requires acceptance through battle. Well, the world really likes elements that trigger strange missions. But since there is a mission, there will be experience and rare items, so we should give it our all!

However... the girls are happily renovating the base, and I dare not look at this beautiful scene. So, on the second night of school, Bai Yueguang and I were squatting in the library, constantly flipping through various books about legends, hoping to find useful information.

Well... most of the books about demons have been banned by the church, and... I can't imagine what few remain.

"By the way, Bai, why did you think of coming to the Western Continent?"

"Don't call me by that name! Well, what else could I do?"

"Aren't you supposed to bring a girl and escape into the mountains, defeating orc girls along the way and finally establishing a harem with all races?"

"Hey hey hey, do you really think this is a gal game? You will get slashed with a wooden sword!"

While Bai Yueguang complained, he threw a book to the side and picked up another one.

"Aren't you afraid of a wooden sword? Besides, if we get nice boated, we can just resurrect, right?"

"Then why don't you give it a try?"

"Well... I don't have that talent, I guess?"

"Why are you inciting others then?"

"Because I lack that talent, so I want to see someone else do the experiment and judge the market based on that."

"So you wanted to be my lab rat, huh!"

With a loud noise, a book was thrown directly at my ice wall.

"Come on, don't destroy public property."

I picked up the book that fell from the ice wall. It was titled "A History of Ancient Literature and Art."

My mouth twitched, and I tossed the book aside.

"You didn't even throw it properly!"

"That worthless thing doesn't count as destroying public property."

"..."

"By the way, Mary said that we might be members of the same organization, but what organization is that? Are we all like little mice? After all, our memories have been altered."

"That might be the simplest explanation, but it's no use guessing now. I only trust absolute facts."

"You're such a realist..."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Of course, nothing."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Bai Yueguang suddenly took out something from his ring and threw it at me!

"What is this?"

I caught the object with one hand.

It seemed to be a sword that Bai Yueguang threw at me, but its slender structure looked more like a katana. Various charms covered the scabbard, and there were many similar symbols on the hilt as well.

I drew the sword from its scabbard, and its appearance was revealed.

Indeed, it was a sword, with a blood-red blade because it had dual edges.

But the whole sword gave off a very uneasy feeling. Just by holding it, a restless aura slowly emanated from it.

Bai Yueguang rushed towards me in a big step, tapped the blade, and the symbols on the hilt and scabbard lit up at the same time, making the restless feeling disappear instantly.

"To use this sword, you need to infuse the charms with magic power, or else you will be controlled by this cursed sword."

"Hey hey hey, isn't this thing too dangerous?"

Although that's what I said, I immediately checked the element of the weapon.

Cursed Blade Blood Moon

When it hits an enemy, it causes bleeding and increases the damage dealt to a bleeding enemy.

Exclusive Ultimate Skill:

Blood Fury: Puts the wielder into a berserk state, doubling all physical attributes and halving magical and mental resistances.

"Blood Fury... Is that so? Where did you get this sword?"

"Dropped by a field boss."

Bai Yueguang shrugged.

"Hey hey hey, there's a field boss that drops such a powerful weapon? Can I go and fight one?"

"Do you think weapons like this are that easy to come by? I only caught up to that wolf because it was glowing red while carrying this sword. No one dares to provoke a wolf that glows red."

"That makes sense... So, are you giving this to me?"

"Yeah, wasn't your katana broken in the fight against [Liejiao]?"

"True... Well, I was planning to try out some other weapons anyway."

"Are you saying you don't want it?"

"Of course not~"

I put the sword into my ring.

"After all, my proficiency in the katana and magic is the highest... but I have decent proficiency in other weapons too."

"So, what occupation are you exactly?"

"...A hero!"

I said proudly.

"Heh..."

Bai Yueguang's mouth twitched, and then he suddenly threw a battle enchantment on the ground!

As a reflex, I lunged backward, and a flash of blade directly flew past where I was before, grazing my cheek.

"Hey hey hey, even if we're going to fight, we should at least give a heads up."

"Because it's a fight, that's why I have to catch you off guard."

Bai Yueguang sheathed his sword back into its scabbard and assumed an attacking stance.

"Let me see what kind of occupation you truly are, brave hero!"

"Hehe, perfect. Let me test out my new magic. Magical Knight ultimate skill·Frozen Steed Summon!"

Blue ice elemental energies gather around me, and in less than a second, a complete set of ice armor appears on my body. At the same time, a blue figure bursts out from a nearby magic circle, and I lightly leap onto its back.

"Well, this is a new skill I awakened while boringly grinding Magical Knight abilities. I didn't know Magical Knights had summoning magic before."

The magical beast beneath me is an ice wolf, an ice-element creature belonging to the magical beast category. Although I don't know why I can summon magical beasts, since the other party is willing to let me ride it, I might as well make good use of it.

"Ice wolf, hm? Very well, then I'll go all out at full speed!"

"Let's battle!"
