night.

Inside Julius's dormitory, Marie couldn't help but laugh when she saw Julius with dark circles under his eyes. The fatigue in his eyes disappeared a little, and then she helplessly placed her hand on his eyes to cast a healing spell.

"Sorry to bother you again, Marie."

"Julius, if you get injured again next time, I won't be responsible."

After finishing her treatment, Marie sighed, and Julius noticed the weariness in her eyes. He immediately reached out and hugged her.

What's wrong with him? He never used to hug me.

“Marie, if you encounter any difficulties, please tell us. The five of us will definitely help you solve them. If we can't solve them, you can ask the captain for help.”

"Captain, Captain... all you ever think about is the captain?"

Hearing Julius mention Leon Marie again, she rolled her eyes at Julius with some anger, and then helplessly recounted what her family had done.

Upon hearing this, Julius's brows furrowed deeply.

Volume 2 School Life: Chapter 93 As Qualified to Be My Wise Wife

The next morning, at the training ground.

Lyon looked uncertainly at Julius and the other four men, whose heads were bowed deeply.

"Are you saying that Saint Mary is going to have us take her on an adventure to the ruins because her family has put all the debts in her name?"

While Lyon was questioning the three uncertainly, Lucaccion, hidden in mid-air, issued a command to the satellite in the sky, scanning for the target where the ruins existed.

"Yes, Captain! Please, you must allow us to venture into the ruins! We need to pay back the money for Marie!" Julius pleaded.

"Captain, we won't forget our daily training!"

"Captain, we're willing to give you a pledge! If you fall behind in training after returning, we're willing to accept any punishment!"

"team leader……"

The remaining four also pleaded with Leon, their voices filled with apology and sincerity.

"These are all minor matters. I just wanted to ask why it wasn't Maria who borrowed it, but Maria has to repay it?"

Leon didn't think much of the five people's request, but he was puzzled as to why Marie would accept it so readily.

"Forehead……"

Julius was at a loss for words when he heard this, but fortunately Zeke stepped forward at that moment.

"Captain, because Marielle hasn't yet separated from her family, her family's loans are based on the kingdom's..."

Before Zeke could finish his answer, Leon stopped him.

"Stop, stop, stop! There's no need to continue. It must be some stupid legal reason again. I know what happened. Go and notify everyone to assemble. Let's treat this as our Saintess Guard's first combat mission, even though it's for the Saintess Marie family's personal reasons."

"Thank you, Captain! We will definitely thank everyone properly after this is all over."

Upon seeing this, Julius and his five companions bowed and spoke happily before being dismissed by Leon.

When only Lyon remained in the room, Lucaccion's somewhat angry spherical form revealed its body.

"Master, do we really have to do this? We can clearly..."

"Lucasion, are you underestimating yourself?"

"I...no. I was just thinking about Master's safety. As long as I'm here, Master will be safe! The mental protection system is already in experimental production!"

Luciano's voice seemed to carry a hint of helplessness towards Lyon's willfulness.

"So the mental weapon is ready? As expected of my wise wife, Lucaccion. If you were a girl, I think I would be completely smitten with you."

Lyon continued to tease Lucaccion as usual, completely unaware that those scarlet eyes flickered a few times during his words.

"Master, if I were truly a female human, there would be absolutely no way I could fall in love with you." Her usual tsundere demeanor was present, but this time it was different.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Now, can you pull up the list of those five ruins they mentioned and take a look? It's unbelievable that ruins still exist on the floating islands within the kingdom's borders!"

Logically speaking, all the ruins within the territory of the Kingdom of Holfat should have been destroyed, since the new humans wanted to find lost items from the ruins of the old humans to exchange for wealth.

Beams of blue light shot out from the spherical Lucasion, perfectly projecting the floating island into the air.

The land of elves is the largest exporter of demi-human slaves in the Kingdom of Holfate. Every elf living there possesses magical talent, and almost all of the demi-human slaves are male, while the females have lived on the floating islands for generations.

"Specific information is scarce. Has information been restored about the ruins on the floating island?"

Looking at the somewhat strange basic information, Leon instinctively felt that there must be something fishy going on, so his desire to go there grew even stronger.

"No, but it's possible the other person is afraid, or perhaps they're in a deep sleep and require specific conditions to wake up. However, if I were to go there myself, I should be able to forcibly wake them. As for..."

"As for its survival, we'll see how it performs. If it's usable, keep it; if not, just eliminate it after it absorbs data. But safety is paramount. If all else fails, we can just blow up the ruins or the floating island!" Leon added, his seriousness overflowing.

Seeing this, Luciano once again concealed himself in mid-air, quietly watching Lyon.

Leon stepped out of the barracks and looked at the group of people training with great enthusiasm. He immediately smiled and took out his whistle!

Whoosh~ whoosh~!

The moment the whistle blew, everyone stopped training and stood still, looking at Lyon. Among them, Babu stood directly on the log bridge.

"What a damn talent." Muttering to himself, Leon shouted after reaching the center of the training area, "All squads, assemble immediately! Bring all weapons, ammunition, and supplies! Ten minutes! Now! Get the hell moving!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the guards on the training ground rushed into the barracks at top speed and began to prepare. Leon then went to the training ground and started timing.

"Report! Squad one has assembled!"

"Report! Team three is assembled!"

"Report! Second squad has assembled!"

After receiving three consecutive reports, Lyon nodded in satisfaction.

"Eight minutes and seventeen seconds, not bad. Now everyone grab your weapons, target port, warship docked at Barutona!"

"Babu! Remember to lead everyone in singing and chanting slogans along the way, so those damn bastards will know what soldiers are all about!"

"Yes! Captain!"

Babu responded in a strong voice, then walked to the side of the queue and began to give instructions, heading towards the port about five kilometers away.

"One, two, three, four!"

"One, two, three, four!"

The loud bugle call rang out from the 27 members of the guard team, and the people on the road couldn't help but turn their attention to them.

"The Holy Maiden's guard?"

"I don't know. They look more like the kingdom's army."

"That's true, the temple guards aren't usually this dark-skinned!"

The murmurs of the crowd continued to rise in his ears, and the shouts of the guards grew louder. Seeing this, Leon immediately smiled.

"What are you training for? Speak the hell up!"

"Defend our homeland! Protect our people! Safeguard peace!"

"The sound is too soft! Turn it up louder!"

"Defend the home and the country!"

"Protect the people!"

"Protect peace!"

The slogan and name were different from those of the past, which puzzled the citizens.

What does "people" mean? I've never heard of it before.

“I know that. When I was working at the Chaotic Factory, the foreman there mentioned it. The ‘people’ he was referring to are us ordinary citizens. The guards at their factory even used this slogan.”

"The Chaotic Factory, you mean that Chaotic Factory that can build those cars that don't need horses to move?"

"That's right, that's right. They're planning to build a factory here in the capital. I'll see if I can apply for a job as their bodyguard."

The meaning and significance of the word 'people' were heard for the first time from the mouths of the commoners in the capital. Although its meaning was not yet clear, the changes brought about by Lyon were already evident at this moment.

This was the beginning of the groundwork for some of his upcoming activities.

Although small in number, the large and imposing guard quickly attracted the attention of the soldiers training in the capital, who immediately reported the situation to their superiors.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Please... please wait a moment!"

Some familiar voices came from behind him, and when Leon turned around, he saw an old acquaintance—Claire!

"Hey! Isn't this Mr. Claire? Long time no see."

Upon hearing this, Claire immediately stepped forward and grabbed Leon's hand, her eyes filled with emotion.

"Viscount Lyon, it's been almost a year since we last met. Are you planning a trip?"

"Haha. Mr. Claire, there's no need to be nervous. We're just heading to the port because the Saintess wants to inspect the guard's training results. Besides, after more than a month of training, shouldn't we see some blood?"

Claire nodded in agreement as she listened to Lyon's nonchalant words.

“Viscount Lyon, in that case, it would be better to have these patrolling soldiers lead the way. After all, there are still too many people in the capital. It would be bad if a stampede occurred.”

Upon hearing this, Lyon's gaze toward Claire shifted slightly.

[This guy seems a bit greedy, but he's quite efficient. He even considered the consequences of a large crowd gathering; not bad at all.]

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Claire. If there's nothing else, let's talk as we walk. It's been a long time since we last spoke."

Claire felt like she was being watched when she saw the smile on Leon's face, but after thinking about her and Leon's future, she quickly shook it off.

"Leonzi..."

“Just call me Leon, that’s what Senior Norris called me too. Viscount, that’s too formal.” Leon corrected Claire’s form of address, and the two immediately became much closer.

As they continued their march, the patrolling soldiers leading the way couldn't help but let out a shout after a short while.

"What's your name, you rascal? Don't you know the adults are watching?"

"Captain, I didn't want to shout either. It's just... they were shouting so passionately, I couldn't help it."

"I couldn't help it either, but damn it, keep it down."

After giving a few instructions to the soldiers behind him, the patrol captain also began to whisper.

But as they got closer to the port, their voices grew louder and louder, becoming unbearable.

Claire could only say somewhat apologetically to Leon, "Leon, my men haven't received much systematic training, so please excuse their poor performance."

"No, Claire, don't be modest. I observed your men walking ahead, and there was no fear in the eyes of the people in this area, which shows that your management of this part of the capital is quite good."

Once people have a little power, they will use it and become uncontrollable, let alone soldiers who can barely read a few words.

When patrolling soldiers appeared in other areas of the capital, the citizens were quite astute enough to keep their distance.

Claire could only manage a bitter smile in response to Leon's praise. Seeing this, Leon's gaze softened, and he began to gently guide her.

After chatting for a while, I learned about Claire's experience.

He was once a noble young man with ideals and ambitions, but after experiencing the ups and downs of life, he became a minor regional official under the king.

Without the help of resources, Claire's ability to become an official in the capital region under the current king's rule is quite remarkable.

Time seemed to stand still under Lyon's patient guidance, for they had already arrived at the port.
