The story of the black silk female knight

Thousand-Leaf Grass's pupils contracted, and her struggling strength suddenly diminished. Her face flushed red, she gritted her teeth, and nodded to Valensa.

Seeing this, Valensa let go of his hand and tiptoed out of the infirmary with Chiba.

Whoosh!

As soon as she stepped out of the infirmary, Chiba drew her ninja dagger and stabbed at Valensa, simultaneously kicking Valensa's knee while snarling hatefully:

"You bastard with those black stockings and huge breasts...you owe me my ninja outfit! It was a birthday present from my second sister last year!"

As if she had anticipated this, Valensa grabbed Chiba's wrist in one swift motion, and at the same time, clamped her legs together to trap Chiba's kicking foot.

"How can you blame me? It's your clothes that are so hard to take off, and Dr. Karen kept urging me, so I had to use the fastest method."

"I don't care, it's all your fault!"

Chiba looked like she was about to cause trouble, and reached out her other hand to grab Valensa, seemingly wanting to test her physical skills.

As a result, Chiba was defeated once again... Ninjas like her are not good at head-on combat, and her body, which had only recently recovered, was not in good condition. How could she be a match for Valensa?

Seeing that her body was about to be completely controlled, Chiba's eyes darted around, and she suddenly started shouting:

"Help! I'm being molested... Waaaaah!"

"What are you shouting for?"

Valensa angrily covered Thousand Leaf Grass's mouth:

"Me, molest you? What's so great about a pathetic body like yours that has nothing to offer? I'd rather amuse myself than you molesting me!"

After saying that, she hooked her arm around Qianyecao's neck and shoved Qianyecao hard against her chest.

"!"

Thousand Leaf Grass was trembling all over, and her limbs were struggling incessantly. However, her strength and close-quarters grappling skills were far inferior to Valensa's, and her physical condition was also poor. In the end, she could only faint in humiliation.

"Hmph, you got off easy."

Valensa then released the Thousand Leaf Grass and hoisted it onto her shoulder with one hand:

"If I wasn't worried about giving you a bump on the head and having trouble explaining it to the teacher, I would have done what Dr. Karen did and given you a head anesthetic so you wouldn't have passed out so comfortably."

When they returned to the training ground for the practical class, the other departments and senior students who had been watching had already dispersed, leaving only Valensa's classmates still training on their own, while the glamorous female teacher leaned against the field smoking.

"came back?"

Upon seeing Valensa, the glamorous female teacher first greeted her, then glanced at the still unconscious Thousand Leaf Grass on Valensa's shoulder:

"What's with the transfer student? You didn't sneak up on her and beat her up on the way, did you? That won't do... She's a foreign guest, after all. A duel is fine, but attacking her privately could cause a diplomatic incident."

"No, I just had a good chat with Chiba on the way... She fainted because she was too excited."

Valensa put the thousand-leaf grass down and pinched her cheek:

"Hey, wake up~~"

"Well……"

Thousand-Leaf Grass groggily opened its eyes, and upon seeing Valensa, it was first stunned, then gritted its teeth as if it wanted to launch an attack.

Valensa quickly stepped back two paces to make way for Chiba, allowing her to face the concerned and curious gazes of her classmates.

!

The veins on Qianyecao's forehead throbbed, but she immediately changed her expression, tilting her head and revealing a very cute smile.

Chapter 46 is now time to share how cool it is.

"Oh dear, why is everyone looking at Cao Cao like that? Are you worried about Cao Cao?"

After tilting her head and making a cute expression, Chiba Grass spun around in place again:

"Don't worry, Dr. Karen is very skilled. Thanks to her, I'm fully recovered! If you accidentally get injured in the future, you can try the infirmary too!"

However, the students still looked at Chiba Grass with strange expressions.

Thousand-Leaf Grass: "?"

"That's how it is, Chiba-kun."

Finally, Melody took the initiative to come over and point at the Thousand Leaf Grass:

"Everyone is happy that your poison has been successfully cured, but... why are you wearing Valensa's clothes? What happened to your previous anti-demon ninja uniform?"

!

This was like adding fuel to the fire; the anger that Chiba had barely managed to control almost exploded.

At the crucial moment, Valensa hugged her from behind, giving her a soft embrace:

"Because there are still a lot of plant toxins left on that dress, it can't be worn for the time being... Chiba-san didn't bring any other clothes, so I could only lend her one for now."

Chiba and I met under unusual circumstances, but we're good friends now... Am I right, Chiba?

As Valensa spoke, she hooked her arm around Chiba's neck again, bringing her mouth close to her ear, her voice full of the threat that if she didn't do what she said, she would strangle her again.

"Woo~~"

Chiba let out a reluctant groan, but in this situation, she could only obediently nod to maintain her adorable persona.

"Yes, Valencia and I are now good friends. Don't worry, we will get along well in the future."

Valensa then released the Thousand Leaf Grass, feeling a slight sense of relief.

She had already figured it out; Chiba was the kind of person who cared a lot about her image in the eyes of others.

Since they've both said they're friends now, at least Qianyecao shouldn't cause any more trouble in today's practical lesson.

And that's true. Although in private, when their eyes meet, Chiba always has an expression that looks like she wants to bite Valensa to death, as long as outsiders are watching, she will behave very well and be very cute.

"All right."

After about twenty minutes of independent training, the glamorous female teacher, who had already smoked no less than ten cigarettes, clapped her hands lightly and gathered the students in front of her:

"It's almost time, you should hand in your assignments... Come on, how much of the duel between the top student and the transfer student did you understand?"

"This..."

The students looked at each other blankly, many of them quite bewildered, probably because they didn't quite understand it.

Some students looked thoughtful, probably having figured some things out, but not quite understanding everything.

But regardless of the type of student, none of them volunteered to answer the question. Several hesitated for a moment before choosing to remain silent.

"What, no one's answering? Well then I'll have to ask a question~~"

The glamorous female teacher raised an eyebrow, then lashed the whip in the air before licking her lips and giving a highly aggressive look to a handsome young man:

"You must be the successor of the current Lion Sword Saint, right? So cool... cough, then you can go first and tell us."

"...Yes, teacher."

The handsome young man whose name was mentioned remained quite calm:

"All I can tell is that Chiba used some kind of powerful invisibility technique to attack Valensa under Green Leaf's cover, but Valensa saw through his disguise and he narrowly lost."

"What you said is as good as saying nothing at all!"

The glamorous female teacher rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction:

Just how powerful is Chiba's invisibility technique? And how did Valensa manage to see through it? Did you figure these things out?

"...Forgive my ignorance."

The young man with the bloodline of the Sword Saint Ryan lowered his head, seemingly ashamed.

"You didn't even notice? Then your class isn't very bright..."

The glamorous female teacher sighed in disappointment, then thought for a moment before saying:

"The invisibility technique that Chiba used must be a secret technique of her Chiba family. I won't say more. You should be glad that she is your classmate and not your enemy."

However, I was quite surprised that Valencia came up with a solution so quickly... Why don't you share your insights with everyone, Valencia?

"is teacher."

Valensa nodded obediently, then glanced at Thousand Leaf Grass with a smile:

"CaoCao's invisibility technique is really amazing. In fact, even now, I don't have any way to see through it."

"Oh?" xN

The students all looked surprised, and Melody even asked directly:

"So how did you win just now?"

"...When Cao Cao attacked me for the first time, I, like everyone else, thought she was really using green leaves as blades to launch her attack."

Valensa smiled and then triumphantly rubbed Thousand-Leaf Grass's unwilling little face:

"But after taking a round of attacks, I realized something was wrong... Look, everyone."

As she spoke, she pulled out the fine steel round shield she had used in the previous duel; many scratches from the sharp blades still remained on the shield's surface.

"My shield isn't particularly good, but it's still a high-quality item from Nora Merchant Guild's equipment shop. It's unlikely that it would be so easily marked by leaves... Even if the leaves are fast and strong, they are still quite different from fine steel."

Even if the Chiba family possesses incredibly powerful secret ninjutsu, capable of imbuing leaves with the power to injure fine steel at the Pearl level... what about the leaves themselves?

Why was there not a single leaf on my shield after CaoCao's first attack? Normally, at least a few should have been stuck there... This is the first flaw in CaoCao's strategy.

"It's probably because Chiba-kun doesn't have much experience in one-on-one combat."

The glamorous female teacher smiled:

"An experienced ninja wouldn't make this mistake."

"Hmm...I didn't expect it to be such a detail..."

Thousand-leaf grass grumbled resentfully.

"What happens after that?"

Melody, unable to wait any longer, asked Valensa:

"You can only guess that those green leaf blades are illusions, right? How could you guess that Chiba was actually invisible? After all, there was such a realistic green leaf clone at the time."

"Well..."

Valensa lowered her eyes and smiled, seemingly a little embarrassed.

"Do you all remember what I did after I was attacked for the second time? I touched some blood from my wound with my hand and tasted it with my tongue."

"I do remember, but..."

Melody still didn't understand:

"Did your action have some special meaning? I thought it was like a wounded animal licking its wounds."

Chapter 47 felt that his success rate was quite high.

"That action certainly had meaning... After all, licking your own blood is quite shameful, and I wouldn't do it if I wasn't forced to."

Valensa smiled shyly.

“Merudi, as you know, I’m a chef, and I know a little bit about cooking… so my sense of taste is a little more sensitive than normal people.”

I deduced from the lingering metallic smell on the wound that the seemingly dangerous green leaf blade was actually an illusion, and that the real attacker was Cao Cao, who was in stealth mode.

"So this is ah……"

Melody suddenly realized, and the other classmates also showed expressions of understanding.

"What happens after that?"

Melody asked again, while simultaneously revealing a meaningful smile:

"How did you break through Chiba's invisibility? You didn't just rely on her scent from the start, did you? You hadn't even had much contact with Chiba at that time... and you already remembered her scent?"

"Don't say this nonsense!"

Seeing the strange looks she was getting from her classmates and teachers, Valensa quickly waved her hands and glared angrily at Melody:

"I did remember Cao Cao's scent after I took her shoes and tabi socks, and I was able to catch her the second time by using my sense of smell... but I really didn't do it the first time!"

"So how did you catch her?"
