The story of the black silk female knight

It's normal if it's just a carriage, after all, there are many nobles in the War Academy, and many people like Tia take a carriage back to the capital for fun on their days off.

But the carriage was not only decorated in a style completely different from that of the French nobles, but Valensa had also recently met the people driving and guarding it... elite black-armored warriors from the Four Islands Alliance.

The Foreign and Commerce Minister of the Four Islands Alliance has come to the War College.

Or perhaps... it was that flat-chested girl with green hair and emerald eyes who came?

Will the teacher bring a transfer student into class tomorrow?

Valensa's mind raced with all sorts of thoughts.

As it turned out, all her wild guesses were correct.

. . . . .

The next morning, in the classroom for the first-year students of the Vanguard Department's theory class.

Hello everyone~~

A girl with green hair and emerald eyes stood on the podium, her smile lively and lovely:

"I'm Chiba from the Four Islands Alliance, and I'm everyone's classmate starting today. If you'd like to be friends with me, I'd allow you to call me Kusa~~"

She was still wearing the same fishnet stockings, tabi socks, and leather sandals on her lower body, but instead of a short kimono, she wore a purple bodysuit with a V-neck and open back.

It's a pity she's so flat-chested; even in clothes that are clearly risqué, she only looks cute.

Valensa and her classmates whispered a few words about Chiba's arrival and self-introduction, but it didn't cause much of a stir.

Although transfer students from abroad are rare, averaging only one every few years, there are precedents in history, so it's not surprising.

The whispers just now were mostly people speculating about Thousand Leaf Grass's strength.

Transfer students who travel abroad alone for exchange programs are usually quite capable, and several of them have even been the top students in their grade.

Chiba seemed to want to emulate her predecessors, and after her deliberately cute self-introduction, she couldn't wait to show off her skills:

"I wonder who the top student is now? Would you mind chatting with me during the practical class this afternoon?"

All eyes immediately fell on Valensa.

Chiba looked over immediately. She was startled at first, then her smile became even more adorable.

However, several classmates who were in the girls' line of sight didn't think so.

They felt a chill run down their spines, as if there were invisible sparks and lightning in the air.

It was obvious that Chiba recognized Valensa and was deliberately provoking her with a show of fighting spirit, as if she wanted to settle both old and new scores.

Valensa, of course, would not back down:

"Let's have a chat... Of course, no problem. Don't worry, Chiba-kun, the priests of our Kingdom of Fran have very high healing skills, so you won't be in pain for long."

Chapter 41 Anti-Demon Ninja Chiba Grass

The War Academy is designed to train military personnel.

Unless it's a life-or-death feud, the school never prevents students from competing or challenging each other; they even provide referees, venues, and medical personnel.

The teachers and students were very interested in the duel between Valensa and Thousand Leaf Grass, and were all looking forward to the practical lesson in the afternoon.

The more you look forward to the afternoon, the longer the morning theory class seems to feel.

Valenza adopted the posture of attentive listening as usual, but her mind was already wandering far away.

It wasn't that the tactical theory class was boring, but rather that Valensa was preparing for the duel that afternoon.

She made a lot of boastful and arrogant statements when she accepted the challenge, but she was still very cautious at heart.

She wouldn't underestimate Qianyecao just because she had a flat chest; instead, she tried her best to gather usable information from her observations and knowledge.

Judging from the V-shaped backless bodysuit that Chiba is currently wearing, this flat-chested girl with green hair and emerald eyes is likely a ninja, a unique profession of the Four Islands Alliance, and most likely a demon ninja.

Just as the Kingdom of Fran faces the invasion of wild beasts from the Barren Ridge every autumn, the Four Islands Alliance also has its own natural disaster to face—the Mist Demon.

This is a dangerous creature whose existence and origin have not yet been determined. It appears out of nowhere during every period of heavy fog at sea.

Like the low-level fog demons that Valensa once fought in the trial room, most fog demons only disappear when their core is destroyed, making them difficult for ordinary soldiers and warriors to deal with.

Some rare, high-level fog demons can even take human form after killing them, waiting for an opportunity to cause even greater destruction and chaos. They are extremely dangerous and once caused great suffering to the civilians of the Four Islands Alliance.

In order to fight against the Mist Demon and protect the people, many ninjas who were originally skilled in various techniques against people abandoned their original skills and started training again, developing various new ninjutsu specifically designed to kill the Mist Demon.

These new ninjas and their descendants became the Demon Ninjas, the most prestigious profession among the common people of the Four Islands Alliance.

The Chiba family, being the leaders of the Demon Ninja, were therefore highly favored by Queen Himika.

However, Valensa wasn't quite sure what kind of combat style the Demon Ninja was good at.

Tia, who is well-read, should know, but Valensa probably doesn't have time to ask in detail; she can only deal with the afternoon's duel first.

And so, amidst the anticipation of many, the afternoon's practical class finally began.

"I was planning to give you all some pointers today... but you all seem more interested in the battle between the transfer student and the top student~~"

Snapped!

Amidst the crack of the whip, a strikingly beautiful woman giggled. She was the teacher for this practical lesson in the first-year elite cadet class, attracting the attention of many male students.

"Then come on, Valensa Bader and Chiba-kusa!"

The glamorous female teacher then voluntarily retreated to the edge of the training field.

"Please begin your performance... I hope you will not disappoint everyone and put on a wonderful and interesting duel."

"Don't worry, teacher, this duel will definitely be interesting. As for whether it will be exciting... well, that depends on how long Valensa can last!"

Thousand-Leaf Grass made its appearance first, its emerald green eyes filled with provocation.

The news seemed to have spread throughout the school by noon, and now the spectators around the training ground were not only first-year students from the elite corps, but also many upperclassmen and students from other departments, making it quite lively.

Tia was among them, though she frowned slightly, seemingly worried.

Valensa noticed Tia's expression and exchanged glances with her, gaining some idea of ​​Thousand Leaf Grass's specific strength.

She was even more cautious inside, but on the surface she was not flustered at all, appearing rigorous and calm, fully demonstrating the demeanor that an excellent female knight should have.

'...Tch, you pretentious vase, just wait until you make a fool of yourself!'

Seeing that the gaze that had been looking at her shifted away almost entirely after Valensa appeared, Chiba Grass pretended to be cute on the surface, but inwardly she was gritting her teeth with jealousy.

So what if you have long legs? Today I'll show you that cuteness is true strength and justice! A pretty face like you is only fit to receive rewards after defeat!

Valensa seemed to sense the malice beneath Thousand Leaf Grass's lovely smile, but she still just smiled, and her steps and posture when she entered the scene were even more elegant, full of chivalry.

The teachers clearly preferred students like Valencia; the glamorous female teacher even lightly patted Valencia on the shoulder as she walked past.

"Keep it up, but don't go too far; after all, they are international friends."

"Don't worry, teacher, I'll make sure she loses gracefully."

Valensa chuckled and nodded, then walked to the center of the training ground, took out her sword and shield, and assumed a ready stance.

Snapped!

The glamorous female teacher swung her whip again:

"The duel begins."

……

Five seconds passed, and neither Valensa nor Thousand-Leaf Grass moved.

Valensa remained like a decorative vase, holding a sword and shield in a pose that looked good but was actually useless in combat.

Chiba simply put her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and smiled slightly, like a cute little sister being coquettish.

"...Aren't you going to attack first?"

The two stared at each other for a while, but it was Qianye Cao who couldn't hold back any longer.

"Since you're a guest, and you're so petite, I'll let you have three moves first."

Valensa smiled gently, but deliberately emphasized the words 'small' and 'big', and looked at Chiba's chest with a pitying gaze.

!

The anger in Chiba Grass's eyes increased dramatically, her emerald green pupils burning brightly.

"You asked for this!"

She screamed and leaped backward, her body suspending in mid-air in a manner completely defying the laws of physics, releasing more than a dozen leaves from the V-shaped opening on her back:

"Wood Spirit Technique: Flying Leaf Blade!"

Brush brush brush brush!

As the Thousand-Leaf Grass, suspended in mid-air, rapidly formed hand seals, more than a dozen leaves shot towards Valensa from different angles with a whooshing sound.

Valensa remained silent, simply changing the direction her steel shield faced, calmly deflecting all the leaves.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

These blades were powerful and sharp, even sparking when they collided with the steel shield and leaving deep scratches.

But no matter how strong the attack, it's all for nothing if it doesn't hit its mark. In this first exchange, it seemed that Valensa had the upper hand, and many students watching cheered for her.

However, a few students who were more capable or had better eyesight did not look very optimistic.

Tia opened her mouth several times, seemingly wanting to offer a reminder, but ultimately kept quiet out of consideration for the principle of fairness in the duel.

Valensa was equally vigilant, remaining fully alert throughout, but...

Poof.

Even though she blocked all the flying blades, two tears and wounds suddenly appeared on her black-stockinged legs, clearly caused by some kind of sharp weapon.

Chapter 42 The female ninja's foot was grabbed by the female knight!

"This...how is this possible?"

Many spectators outside the training field gasped in surprise.

Melody frowned in confusion and nudged Tia beside her with her elbow:

"Hey, genius, have you figured it out yet? Valensa blocked all the attacks, so why was she still injured?"

"……not yet."

Tia shook her head, not hiding the worry in her eyes:

"But I once read in a book that the Chiba family's Anti-Demon Ninja has a very powerful sword technique called the Invisible Slash, which is said to be invincible among those below the Radiant Rank."

If Valensa can't crack the secret of this move, I'm afraid..."

Will we lose?

Melody sighed:

"Although Valensa and your title of chief are honorary, it doesn't matter if you lose, but just thinking about how smug that green-haired girl is makes me feel really annoyed."

. . . . .

On the training ground.

"Hahaha, big sister, you're so silly! How did you get hurt so quickly?"

Almost at the same time that tears and wounds appeared on Valensa's black-stockinged legs, Chiba Grass's playful yet undeniably arrogant laughter rang out:

"How is it? Does the wound hurt? If you can't stand it, you can surrender now~~ I'm very gentle."

"..."

Valensa didn't speak, but simply held her sword and shield in front of her again, signaling for the fight to continue.

"Wow~~ Big sister is so strong, is this what a female knight is like? Even knowing that she will be covered in wounds, she will still persevere to the very end?"

The thousand-leaf clover blinked strangely, its smile growing increasingly excited:

"Hehe, since that's the case, then I'll show you something good... Wood Spirit Technique: Flying Leaf Blade!"

Brush brush brush brush!

As the green-haired, emerald-eyed girl formed hand seals, more than a dozen leaves transformed into blades, shooting towards Valensa from different angles with tricky trajectories.
