The story of the black silk female knight

That's terrible, really terrible.

Let alone compared to Lian, these girls, who are clearly physically strong, would definitely not be able to beat an ordinary adult man with his bare hands... even if they were given a sword.

No wonder the attackers were able to succeed in all four previous attacks.

These noble ladies, who focus solely on etiquette and social interaction and completely abandon spiritual cultivation, are truly a disservice to their excellent lineage.

We really need to practice properly!

Valensa's eyes turned cold, and she moved swiftly, showing no mercy in her attack.

Snap, snap, snap, snap!

"Ah~"

"Ah~"

"Ah~"

……

Almost instantly, all the girls who had charged at Valencia with their swords covered their buttocks and sat down on the ground, tears welling in their eyes.

"you."

After knocking down all the girls, Valensa sheathed her wooden sword and finished them off with her mouth:

"Too weak...too weak for me to provide personalized guidance...each of you needs to do at least a thousand practice swings in the next two days! Get your basics back first, understand?"

"Woo..."

"Hey..."

The girls were all very upset, and several of them had already started crying.

"Why are you crying?"

Valensa was quite excited by his tearful appearance, so she made her voice even colder and raised her hand again in a threatening gesture:

"Is your butt itchy again? What are you standing there for? Get up and start training!"

"...Ugh, instructor, you're so cruel... Damn it, if I could beat you, I'd really like to give you a good beating!"

The girls harbored a lot of resentment towards Valencia, but they were even more afraid of being spanked in public again, so they could only grit their teeth and stand up, starting to practice swinging their wooden swords in the air.

Perhaps they were imagining the air in front of them to be Valencia, because the girls were training quite seriously, putting a lot of effort into each swing, and you could even hear some of them muttering to themselves while swinging their wooden swords:

"I'll kill you! You bad guy! I'll kill you! You bad guy! I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"

Valensa pretended not to see it, and after demonstrating a few more movements, she let the girls practice on their own with their wooden swords.

There are still more than thirty girls left.

Valensa beckoned, signaling the women who had been watching from afar to line up in front of her.

"Um……"

After circling the girls twice, occasionally reaching out to touch their waists and legs as if measuring them, Valensa finally spoke with a soft laugh:

"As future social elites, you should all have some experience with dance, right?"

Chapter 282 Sword Dance

Dance...?

The girls hesitated and looked at each other, none of them daring to refute, but none of them dared to admit it either.

Finally, Sofia, on whom many girls had placed their hopes, stepped forward alone. She first gave Valensa a graceful bow before asking:

"Instructor, does our skill in dance relate to the training we receive?"

"Hmph... What you really want to ask on behalf of everyone is what kind of training skilled dancers receive, and how tough that training is, right?" Valensa retorted with a light hum.

"The instructor is indeed very perceptive."

Sofia wasn't surprised at all that her little trick had been seen through. She sighed and pointed to the dozen or so girls who were gritting their teeth and struggling to swing their swords, tears welling in their eyes:

"Most of us are just ordinary girls, not as strong as you think, instructor. We might feel scared and resistant to this level of training. I think you can understand that, right?"

"...Promoting mutual understanding among people is the responsibility of you future social elites. As for my responsibility as a vanguard of the kingdom..."

Valensa jokingly brandished her sword:

"It is to use my sword to tell those who disagree with us that no matter how much reason they have, we are the ones who are right."

Just like your classmates when facing attackers... can those elegant manners and social skills protect them? No, they can't, right?

What ensures your social skills function properly is never etiquette or beauty, but magic and the sharpness of a sword.

Of course, this is just my personal opinion. You may have different opinions, but I won't listen... Anyway, you can't beat me, and no matter how much you try to persuade me, you'll still have to obey my orders in the end.

"Woo..."

Many girls, including Sophia, bit their lips tightly, but there was nothing they could do.

"Alright, I didn't mean to bully you..."

Valensa smiled again upon seeing this, her tone softening slightly:

"Didn't I say before? Every training session I arranged was very tough, but having a foundation makes it much easier than not having one."

So don't take any chances; whoever is good at dancing, step forward quickly!

This……

The girls looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.

Finally, led by Sofia, most of the girls stepped forward, leaving fewer than 10 people.

For future social elites, dance is a required course, and the number of participants did not exceed Valensa's expectations.

She took out a lot of training wooden swords from her storage space again, and gave one to each girl.

"...Are we also going to practice swordsmanship, instructor?"

Many girls looked puzzled. Sophia hesitated for a moment, but then chose to ask directly:

“But we’re good at dancing… The last time I held a sword was probably when I was five or six years old, playing house with my older brothers and sisters.”

"This is not contradictory...you see."

Instead of explaining verbally, Valensa stepped back a few paces, took a wooden sword, and began to dance, spinning around.

Compared to when she was teaching the girls swordsmanship, Valensa's movements were now noticeably softer and more feminine.

Every spin and leap was incredibly graceful; the silver divine armor seemed to melt in the sunlight, transforming into a soft, light gauze skirt.

"What a nice view……"

Several girls were stunned and instinctively squeezed their legs together.

On the other side, many of the girls who were struggling to swing their swords were also drawn to Valensa, and their movements unconsciously slowed down.

Only Lian, who was constantly repeating the thrusting motion, was completely oblivious to what was happening here, and was completely immersed in her own practice.

With a gesture of sheathing her sword, Valensa stopped dancing.

"How about it?"

She made eye contact with each of the girls who had just been staring in disbelief:

"Do you think what I just used was dance or swordsmanship?"

"This……"

The girls looked at each other in bewilderment.

Judging from their dance knowledge, Valensa's routine was definitely dance, and a very impressive one at that.

But Valencia's sword also made it clear to them that if anyone thought Valencia's dance was beautiful and easily approached her, they would most likely end up as victims of her sword.

However, this is Iris Girls' Academy, the most prestigious girls' school in Fran. These young ladies and students may not have great talent in cultivation, but they are not lacking in people who know their worth.

"Instructor, the move you just used... was a technique from the rare profession of sword dancer, right?"

"That's right, it's a sword dancer's move."

Valensa nodded to the girl who answered, then smiled at everyone:

"Coincidentally, another good friend of mine at the War Academy is a genius sword dancer. I often spar with her during combat classes... I learned that set of moves from her."

However, I've only learned the basics... A true enchanting sword dance could easily make someone willingly run into the blade and die, while all I can do is get people to applaud and say it's really beautiful.

Of course, even if you only learn these basic sword dance moves, it will be enough for you to protect yourself in dangerous situations.

Since you're quite confident in your dance skills, you should be able to tell... that my previous routine had a significant swordplay element, but even more dance elements, right?

"Mmmmmmm..."

The girls all nodded in agreement.

They weren't blindly confident in their dance skills; they could genuinely see that people with a dance background would find it much easier to learn the moves Valensa had just performed.

"Alright, let's start training then."

Valensa once again assumed a dancing pose:

"This time, I will slow down the movements significantly. You need to watch carefully and memorize them... Don't worry about the sword techniques. First, memorize all the dance moves, understand?"

"understand!"

The girls answered in fairly uniform voices, and each one seemed quite confident.

They were indeed very bad at swordsmanship, but as for dancing... for social elites, they could watch a slow-motion video once and dance it to about 60-70% similarity, which is a basic skill.

And so, Valencia slowed down and carefully demonstrated the sword dance moves twice more, then let the girls practice on their own based on their own feeling.

She then walked up to the last ten or so girls and looked them over with a smile:

"At Iris Girls' Academy, dance is a compulsory course. You are actually quite good at dancing, am I right? But you didn't choose to learn sword dance from me... Hmph, are you still hoping to slack off?"

"Of course not, instructor!"

A red-haired girl bravely met Valensa's gaze, stepped out of the line, and stretched out her hand, conjuring a ball of fire in her palm:

"Because compared to sword dance, we have a more suitable way to protect ourselves... We are all talented in magic, instructor."

Chapter 283 Begin Your Cultivation

Magic... a talent?

Valensa remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she felt a little troubled.

Because her magical talent is still very poor, it can be said to be the biggest obstacle to her realizing her dream of becoming a hexagonal female knight.

Even though she had learned a lot of secret techniques from Tia, it was still quite difficult for Valensa to guide someone with real magical talent in practicing magic.

But you can't say this directly, it would be too embarrassing.

So after pretending to ponder for a while, Valensa suggested that she first see how high the level of magic these girls were.

The girls, of course, didn't refuse and took turns performing for Valensa.

Then Valensa breathed a huge sigh of relief.

These girls do indeed have magical talent, and they look quite convincing when they cast spells... But just like Sophia said that the last time she held a sword was when she was a child, these girls have clearly not practiced magic for a long time.

The magic they used was very weak.

Fire magic can barely ignite dry wood, which is fine for cooking, but if used for attack, it probably won't even be able to light clothes before being easily extinguished.

Wind magic is great for drying hair right after a shower, while ice magic can act as a human air conditioner in the summer, making the surroundings cooler.

Earth magic... uh, Valensa stared at the clod of earth that a girl had painstakingly conjured, and couldn't figure out what use it could be.

In short, these girls do know some magic, but they have absolutely no fighting ability.

Valensa really wanted the girls to learn sword dancing too, but that would make her seem like she didn't know anything about magic, and she couldn't lose face like that.

Moreover... the reason these girls' magic is weak is because they haven't practiced for a long time. It's not impossible to find a way to give them special training in the next two weeks so that they can use their magic to protect themselves.

But... how should I guide them?

Combining the magical knowledge she had pieced together from various places with the experience she gained while practicing divine magic, Valensa's eyes lit up and she actually came up with a solution.
