The story of the black silk female knight

Susan is going to contact the merchants from the Sage's Tower to have them remove the remains of the construct golems and to demand compensation for the substandard quality of the goods.

So the task of processing Valensa's paperwork and introducing her to the work plan was taken over by another female teacher who came with the students.

According to the female teacher, since it is still summer vacation, Iris Girls' Academy does not have academic classes, only some daily etiquette training.

However, these etiquette training sessions will be temporarily suspended for the next two weeks, and all students will undergo Valensa's military training, with no interference from other teachers.

Valensa was also placed in a student dormitory, where she would eat in the same restaurant and shower in the same bathroom as the students.

If Valencia needs anything, she can ask the school, and the school will try its best to meet her needs.

However, the school also had two requirements for Valencia.

One is to avoid leaving the campus as much as possible during military training, because the school's magical barrier is still in the debugging stage, and frequent personnel coming and going will increase the workload.

Secondly, regardless of the method Valensa uses, the students must be able to fight back against ordinary adult men after the training.

Neither request was unreasonable, and Valensa agreed after a moment's thought.

After completing the registration process and receiving a dormitory key and a set of daily necessities, Valensa said goodbye to the female teacher and headed to the student dormitory.

"Ok?"

As Valencia prepared to push open the dormitory building door, she frowned.

But he quickly smiled, shook his head slightly, and pushed the door open again.

Snapped!

The woman in black stockings and long legs had only stepped halfway in when firecrackers went off, followed by a shower of colorful ribbons that fell like snowflakes and scattered throughout the hall.

"Welcome, Instructor!" xN

A series of soft, gentle voices, fairly uniform, rang out simultaneously as about fifty beautiful young women, each with their own unique features, lifted their skirts and greeted Valensa with elegant ladylike manners.

"Thank you everyone, this is a great surprise."

Valensa was generous with her thanks and praise, greeting the girls warmly while glancing around with her peripheral vision.

The time it took her and the female teacher to complete the procedures was not long, and the fact that they were able to organize all the students to prepare this small welcoming ceremony in such a short time shows that the person who planned this event has a lot of prestige among the students.

If we can get this person's help, the work ahead will definitely be much easier.

Then...who could it be?

Having firsthand information and being highly respected among the students suggests that this student should be among the dozen or so people who went to the scene earlier.

Is it her?

Valensa first looked at the girl with the wooden sword, then quickly rejected her.

This wooden sword girl seems quite brave, but also a bit naive. Her martial spirit is an anomaly here, making it impossible for her to have such high prestige.

Who would that be?

Valencia continued to use her peripheral vision to search for the students who had been there earlier.

However, with the same delicate faces, the same friendly smiles, and the same perfect manners, Valensa couldn't tell the difference between these girls at all.

...These girls are quite interesting.

It's no wonder they're experts in social skills and etiquette; their acting is so convincing, it's hard to spot a single flaw. Everyone seems genuinely sincere.

If Valensa were just an ordinary elite student, there might really be no way to help her.

But acting is just acting. No matter how well you control your expressions, voice, and movements, you can't control your body temperature, heart rate, and other instinctive reactions.

At the very least, these noble girls certainly couldn't do that... That's already at the level of an excellent elite soldier. Someone who truly has that ability should be Valensa's classmate, not a tool for marriage here.

By enhancing her senses with the power of her mind, Valensa was able to precisely monitor the breathing, body temperature, and heartbeat of more than fifty girls present.

Sure enough, most of the girls, despite their sweet smiles, elegant postures, and impeccable answers, were actually quite nervous inside.

After all, they must have received a notice from the school, knowing that for the next two weeks they would have to obey Valensa's orders unconditionally like soldiers, so it was natural for them to be nervous.

Those who can remain truly calm under such conditions...

So this welcome was planned by you, right?

Under the surprised gaze of a girl with golden princess curls, Valensa blinked and walked directly to her with a smile.

Chapter 277 A Few Unforgettable Half-Month for You

"Thank you for the welcome."

Without explicitly stating the facts, Valensa simply smiled at the blonde girl, indicating that she already knew she had planned the welcome party, and then sat down at the girls' request, chatting amiably with them.

These noble ladies, skilled in social interaction, are all very articulate. They appear charming and well-behaved, but several of them are actually trying to extract information from Valensa.

Valensa played along, selectively and deliberately revealing some of her own information and actively guiding the noble girls' thinking in order to infer their motives.

The social skills honed by the noble girls were indeed impressive, but they still lagged far behind the military intelligence-gathering skills honed by the elite soldiers, and the gap in psychological qualities was even greater.

After chatting for a short while, Valensa basically figured out the girls' intentions.

Simply put, just like some pampered people in her previous life felt tired at the mere mention of military training, many of these noble girls also didn't want to undergo any basic military training.

But they couldn't go against the will of the school and their families, so they tried to please Valensa so that she would go easy on them in the training sessions, just to make a token effort.

Valensa didn't say much about it. She attended the welcome party spontaneously organized by the students, told everyone to get ready for training to start tomorrow, and then went back to her room.

After taking a shower and changing into her pajamas, Valensa leaned against the headboard. Instead of resting immediately, she took out a stack of documents from her storage space and looked through them.

This is the students' information that the female teacher gave her when she went through the procedures.

Valensa only glanced at most people's information before flipping through it.

Because they are so similar, both are daughters of noble families in the capital or local areas, the only difference being whether they are legitimate daughters or illegitimate daughters, but in the end they will all become tools for maintaining family connections through marriage.

Valensa only began to look at the portrait of a slightly shorter, wheat-colored magical girl with a magical complexion with great interest when it came into view.

"This is... she really is an interesting girl."

Len Skye's ancestors were once a prominent local noble family six generations ago. Unfortunately, the Skye family encountered the same situation as the Baldr family—their family's heirloom was destroyed in a fierce battle.

After that, every generation of the Skye family worked exceptionally hard, with direct descendants joining the army and going to the front lines, hoping to restore the family's glory through military achievements.

Unfortunately, they failed, and many men perished on the battlefield.

Now, Lian has become the only bloodline of the Skye family's younger generation.

She also wanted to join the army, but her family firmly stopped her and sent her to Iris Girls' Academy to learn proper ladylike etiquette and to get married as soon as possible after graduation to continue the family bloodline.

"...In some ways, you are braver than me."

After reviewing Lian's information, Valensa gave a wry smile and muttered to herself:

“I was in a similar situation at the time, but I chose to give up and run away…”

Despite the bitter smile, a faint sense of guilt lingered in my heart.

But if Valensa were given another chance, she would still choose to run away overnight—at most, she would say hello to Tia before leaving this time and ask for more living expenses.

dong dong.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.

"Instructor, are you resting? I'd like to talk to you."

Is he really here?

A smile flashed in Valensa's eyes, showing no surprise whatsoever.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

"excuse me."

The girl who entered through the door was well-developed and had long, golden, princess-curled hair.

She changed out of the school uniform she wore to the welcome party and into a casual purple dress, white stockings, and cute round-toed pink slippers, with a faint scent of shower gel on her.

“Sofia Rossetti, right?”

The person who arrived was none other than the girl who had planned the welcome party; Valensa had already seen her profile.

The head of the Rossetti family is currently the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom of France. Although Sophia is only the illegitimate daughter born to the head of the family's personal maid, she is no less outstanding than the direct descendants in many aspects.

Unfortunately, her mother's side was of ordinary blood, which caused Sophia's talent for cultivation to be much worse than that of her older brothers and sisters, so she could only come to Iris Girls' Academy to train in social skills and etiquette.

"Just call me Sophia, instructor."

Facing Valensa's amused gaze, Sofia bit her lip:

"I have something I want to discuss with the instructor."

"Well, tell me."

Valensa nodded, waiting for Sofia to continue.

If I'm not mistaken, this Chancellor's daughter likely represents the wishes of many students who hope Valencia will arrange a more relaxed military training program for them.

But this time, Valensa was wrong.

"I hope that in the next two weeks..."

Sofia took a deep breath and bowed her head earnestly, pleading:

"The instructors can teach us real skills, skills that can truly enable us to protect ourselves in danger, rather than fancy moves used to pass inspections."

"……oh?"

Valensa raised an eyebrow in surprise, becoming even more interested:

"Why would you think that way? If I'm not mistaken, most of your classmates probably don't want to suffer, right? They asked you to come to me, not to tell me these things, right?"

"The instructor is indeed very perceptive... or rather, his reputation is well-deserved."

Sofia nodded with a wry smile:

"Everyone really doesn't want to suffer, and many students even have a strong aversion to this so-called basic military training, but I don't think so."

I believe this kind of training is necessary... so please, instructors, don't hold back and train us well. I will try my best to appease those students who are dissatisfied.

“…Sophia is so well-behaved.”

Valensa squinted and silently scrutinized Sofia for a while before speaking directly:

"Why...why do you have this idea? Do you know something? You came to see me...you must have a more important purpose, right?"

"I……"

Sofia bit her lip, looking conflicted, and glanced out the window.

Ultimately, he couldn't make up his mind and gently shook his head.

"Instructor, you misunderstood... I didn't mean anything by it, I just think that mastering more skills is really beneficial for everyone."

"That's it..."

Valensa glanced thoughtfully out the window, then smiled and nodded to Sofia:

"Okay, I understand what you mean... Don't worry, I will definitely give you an unforgettable military training in the next two weeks."

"...Then, I'll leave it to the instructor."

Sofia breathed a sigh of relief, quickly expressed her gratitude, and soon took her leave.

This girl... seems to know some very ominous inside information.

Valensa watched Sofia's retreating figure as she pushed open the door and left, lost in thought.

What could be the inside story?

Is it from the school? From the previous series of attacks?

Still have them all?

Chapter 278 Is this really a proper training uniform?

Having just resolved a thrilling and exciting incident in the Misty Mountains, Valensa honestly doesn't want to get involved in any more conspiracies and just wants to enjoy her summer vacation in peace.

However, if you've already been drawn in, it's still very necessary to take precautions and prepare for potential dangers.

Sofia clearly knew something, but she was hesitant and didn't trust Valensa enough, so she ultimately said nothing.
