Having already learned her lesson, Valensa was even more cautious this time. Not only was she highly focused, but she also used her mental powers to further enhance her dynamic vision and intuitive perception, locking onto all the incoming flying blades.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

The alloy longsword flew up and down, and the steel round shield spun continuously. Amidst the sparks of metal colliding, Valensa once again blocked all the flying blades.

Even after that, she remained vigilant, constantly on guard against the unseen attack, but...

Poof.

The black stockings on her legs were inexplicably torn open twice more, revealing her fair skin, which was quickly stained red with blood, indicating cuts from a sharp instrument.

"Hehehehe... You all should love seeing the defeated female knight and her ripped black stockings, right? This is my little gift to you all~~"

Thousand-Leaf Grass laughed triumphantly again, mocking Valensa:

"No way... Is this all the top student is capable of? I wasn't even serious yet... Am I just too amazing, or is your title of top student just for show...? Ah, I heard you're some kind of special honorary top student, did you get it by using your chest and legs? Hehehehe..."

Many students glared angrily at Chiba, their top student and savior, for being mocked in this way.

But human desires are the most honest thing. While glaring angrily at Thousand Leaf Grass, many boys and a few girls really couldn't help but look at Valensa's torn black stockings.

Faced with this situation, Valensa remained calm and composed. She even put away the steel shield, wiped her wound with her free right hand, and then licked her fingertips with her tongue.

"...Sure enough, I think I understand what you're up to."

Valensa then sheathed her alloy longsword, closed her eyes, and beckoned to the direction where Thousand Leaf Grass was nowhere to be seen:

"Come on, keep going."

"you……!"

As a result, Chiba's voice became somewhat anxious:

"Hmph, you pretentious bastard... I was originally going to be gentle and stop here, but since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for making your beautiful black-stockinged legs covered in bruises!"

"You can try."

Valensa's smile became even more serene.

"Let's give it a try! Take this, Wood Spirit Technique: Flying Leaf Blade!"

Thousand-Leaf Grass, suspended in mid-air, once again formed hand seals and unleashed more green leaf blades from behind, bombarding Valensa with a barrage of fire.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~

The green leaf blades were incredibly precise, perfectly avoiding the defenses of Valensa's armor and targeting only the soft fabric not covered by it.

Valensa's shirt beneath her armor was almost reduced to shreds, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she reached out and grabbed at the rain of green leaf blades that were shooting at her.

"Gotcha, little sister~~"

Despite being cut and bruised all over by the green leaves, Valensa wore a victor's smile.

The place she grabbed seemed to be empty, but the shape of the Thousand Leaf Grass gradually appeared... There was clearly another 'Thousand Leaf Grass' floating in mid-air more than ten meters away, making a hand seal.

"you……!"

The captured Thousand-Leaf Grass was filled with shock and anger, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"Hmph, don't think you've won just like that. The battle isn't over yet!"

The captured Thousand-Leaf Grass suddenly twisted its body forcefully, and its ankle became very slippery in an instant:

"Wood Spirit Technique: Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell, drink!"

Valensa felt as if the slender watch face she was holding tightly had been coated with oil. She quickly increased her grip, but she was still a beat too slow.

stab.

Thousand-Leaf Grass successfully escaped and quickly disappeared again, leaving Valensa with only a leather sandal, a tabi bag, and half a fishnet stocking.

"Hum hum……"

At the same time, the 'Thousand-Leaf Grass' that was still forming hand seals in mid-air sneered again:

"I didn't expect you, the top student, to have some skill, actually being able to see through my Leaf Concealment Technique... But I won't suffer twice from the same move. What are you going to do next, big sister?"

You've already been badly injured by my invisible slash. If I'm just careful, you'll lose from blood loss!

"...How much blood loss? It's quite a nostalgic way to lose... The last enemy who tried to defeat me like this was the stepping stone that made me the top student."

Valensa smiled meaningfully:

"And little sister, which eye of yours saw that I would lose too much blood if I continued?"

"What... how is this kind of self-healing ability possible?"

Thousand-Leaf Grass's voice was completely unsettled.

"Because I'm a female knight, how can I protect my teammates without some self-healing ability?"

Valensa smiled, closed her eyes again, and gently sniffed the tabi socks, leather sandals, and fishnet stockings left behind by Chiba.

"And little sister, why do you have the illusion that I can see through your invisibility? I can't actually see where you are at all, but I've already memorized your scent... You can't escape now."

brush!

Valenza vanished on the spot, leaving behind only the strong compression wave generated by the sudden change in gas density.

Supersonic grappling!

"Eek~~"

Chapter 43 The Defeated Anti-Demon Ninja

In a seemingly empty place, Valensa caught Thousand Leaf Grass again, with the same foot.

But this time, Chiba seemed to be prepared. She gritted her teeth, let out a soft moan, and turned around to stab Valensa with the two ninja daggers in her hands.

But it's not that easy.

Valensa's close-quarters grappling techniques, which she learned from the paintings of Master Danvanchi, were enough to suppress even a professional fighter like Miterai, and of course, a demon ninja like Chiba was no exception.

Valensa grabbed Chiba's body and pulled her in the air, causing Chiba to lose her balance completely. Her attempt to stab was forced to stop, and she even dropped one of her ninja daggers.

"Damn it... Wood Spirit Technique. Golden Cicada Escape... Ugh."

Seeing that she was about to lose if things continued like this, Chiba Grass resorted to the same trick again, trying to slip away from Valensa by using the same move she had just made.

"I'll pass that message on to you verbatim... I won't fall for the same trick twice. You don't think you can get away this time, do you?"

Valensa reacted quickly, grabbing Thousand Leaf Grass's waist with her other hand and poking and pressing on Thousand Leaf Grass's tendons.

"Eek~~"

Thousand-Leaf Grass let out another beautiful moan, her body stiffening and then softening, completely surrendering to Valensa's embrace, unable to break free no matter what she did.

"Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! You big-breasted monster!"

The sheer height of the clover, which the thousand-leaf clover could never match, greatly agitated her, causing her to kick her little feet hysterically in Valensa's arms:

"Go ahead and kill me if you dare! I will never admit defeat to you, never!"

"Heh, if this were truly on a battlefield, what you're experiencing now would probably be worse than death."

Valensa scoffed dismissively, then smiled faintly:

"However, you're a guest from afar, and as a knight I must maintain my composure... so I'll let you lose gracefully, like with your own trap, how about that?"

As she spoke, she raised the thousand-leaf grass again, assuming a throwing posture.

"...My own trap?"

Chiba was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed drastically:

"No, no! I'll throw... Waaaaaah!"

Before the word "surrender" could even be uttered, Valensa coldly threw the Thousand Leaf Grass out first, its target being the Thousand Leaf Grass that was still floating in mid-air making a hand seal gesture.

Bang!

Two petite, green-haired, emerald-eyed girls collided in mid-air, and the 'Thousand-Leaf Grass' indeed crumbled upon contact, turning into green leaves that fluttered all over the sky.

At the same time, a plant that had been planted at some unknown time but had also disappeared suddenly appeared directly below the fluttering green leaves. More than ten plant vines shot into the air and bound Thousand Leaf Grass tightly in the blink of an eye. The vines also blocked her mouth and kept crawling into her clothes.

"Waaaaah...!"

Thousand-leaf grass struggled with all its might, but was bound tighter and tighter until it could no longer move and its eyes began to roll upwards.

As the situation on the scene was about to turn into a nighttime drama, the glamorous female teacher who had been leaning against the sidelines finally made her move.

Swish, swish, swish, slap!

She lashed her long whip several times at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, and the plant binding the thousand-leaf grass withered completely, as if it had been exposed to the scorching sun in the desert for many days.

"Didn't I tell you to give the new transfer student some face? Look what you've done to that young girl!"

Snapped!

The glamorous female teacher then lashed out with her whip, giving Valensa a disapproving look.

"How can you blame me for this?!"

Valensa covered her bottom, looking aggrieved.

"I just threw her into her own trap. Who would have thought that she was so cute but had such a vicious mind?"

If I weren't smart, I'd be the one being bullied and tied up by vines right now!

"You dare to talk back, huh?"

Snapped!

The glamorous female teacher swung her whip again, but this time she didn't hit Valensa's buttocks:

"Alright, everyone else, train on your own for half an hour and then summarize your impressions of this duel. Valencia, take the transfer student to the infirmary. She seems to be paralyzed by her own plant toxins, and your wounds also need to be treated... Many ninjas like to poison their weapons, so even if you have a strong self-healing ability, it's best to have the school doctor examine you."

"...Yes, teacher, I'll be right back."

Upon hearing what the glamorous female teacher said, Valensa realized that her wounds, which had already stopped bleeding and scabbed over, were still quite painful. She figured it was probably due to some kind of medication, so she obediently nodded.

She picked up Chiba, who was still lying on the ground, and found that although the female demon ninja had not lost consciousness, she could no longer speak. She could only open and close her mouth repeatedly in the form of cursing, and her limbs would twitch from time to time.

"Haha~~"

Valensa smiled at Thousand Leaf Grass with a gentle expression and even pinched her cheek.

"You look rather cute right now, unable to speak or move... Wouldn't it be nice if you could stay like a doll forever?"

Thousand-Leaf Grass's eyes grew even angrier, and she even started rolling her eyes again, as if she was about to faint from the combined effects of anger, injury, and poison.

"Humph."

Valensa then let her go, greeted a few friends who came to congratulate her from outside the arena, and headed towards the college infirmary.

This was Valencia's first injury since enrolling in school, and naturally, her first time visiting the infirmary.

The infirmary was located in a remote corner of the college, surrounded by other buildings. It seemed like a perfect place to do bad things, and it looked very deserted.

dong dong dong.

The door wasn't locked, but Valensa felt it would be impolite to just walk in, so she gently knocked a few times while holding the thousand-leaf grass and asked:

Is anyone there?

No one answered.

Valensa frowned, but didn't go in immediately. Instead, she waited patiently for a minute or two before knocking on the door again to ask:

"Is anyone home, teacher?"

"...I don't think I locked the door, right? Why don't you just come in?"

Finally, a gruff male voice rang out, tinged with impatience, much like Valencia's reaction in her past life when she was at the most crucial point in a game but received a sales call.

"excuse me."

Valensa then pushed open the door and entered.

Before them stretched a long corridor, with almost all the rooms on either side locked. The male voice from earlier had come from the end of the corridor.

Why is this infirmary so desolate?

Valensa sighed inwardly, but thinking of the pure and lovely priestesses in the logistics department, she wasn't too surprised.

Since both conditions can be treated, Valensa would definitely have gone to Asaki for help first, even if the teacher hadn't specifically asked her to come to the infirmary.
