The story of the black silk female knight

Currently, the two women on duty in the barrier control room are just ordinary female teachers.

That makes things much easier.

After locking onto her target, Valensa yawned, jumped off the roof of the dormitory building, and pretended to take a stroll as she walked towards the barrier control room.

Chapter 287 Planting a Bomb at the School

Valensa is now a military training instructor at Iris Girls' Academy, so it's perfectly reasonable for her to take a walk on campus at night if she can't sleep; there's no need to hide it.

She walked into the control room of the magic barrier openly and honestly.

"Hi, you two have worked hard on duty."

But she didn't go in empty-handed; she carried a bamboo basket filled with very appetizing snacks and a bottle of fruit wine.

"I couldn't sleep and didn't want to disturb the students, so I thought I'd come here to chat with some people... I hope you two don't mind?"

"I don't mind, I don't mind... Of course I don't mind!"

Both female teachers on duty had their eyes light up as they looked at the bamboo basket in Valensa's hands.

Who can resist a delicious and tempting snack while on night shift?

"I just made some snacks... Come on, don't be shy, let's eat and chat."

Valensa quickly took out the snacks, poured fruit wine into a glass, and started chatting with the two female teachers.

The two female teachers had no suspicion of Valensa. They ate snacks and drank without any restraint, and after a few words, they spoke without much caution.

Valensa quickly gathered all the information about the two men.

Strictly speaking, these two people cannot be considered teachers, but should be called school staff—their main job is to take care of the students' daily lives and occasionally supervise their self-cultivation.

With the students undergoing military training, the two of them suddenly had some free time, so Susan arranged for them to operate the magical barrier here.

While they called it manipulation, there wasn't much to manipulate. The magical barrier was basically self-sufficient, much like the security guards in Valencia's previous life who watched surveillance footage in the monitoring room.

In short, it has little intelligence value... and it's about time it took effect.

With a rough estimate of the time in her mind, Valensa left the control room of the magic barrier, using the excuse that she had to get up early the next day to train the students.

Not long after Valensa left, the two female school workers on duty began to yawn incessantly. Even pinching themselves hard with their fingers couldn't stop their sleepiness, and they soon fell fast asleep.

The snacks and fruit wines they ate and drank had been laced with sleeping powder by Valensa.

Although Valensa herself took quite a bit, given her body's resistance to the drug, the sleeping powder at most made her yawn.

Having dealt with the monitors of the magical barrier, Valensa quickly began her investigation.

Instead of searching high and low for evidence, she planned to use the most direct method—testing all the school staff and administrators.

The method of probing is also very simple.

The Iris Girls' Academy primarily teaches etiquette, social skills, and service. All the academy's staff, including the administration, are largely ordinary people with little combat ability.

So all you have to do is sneak into their rooms one by one and pretend to attack them.

Normal school staff would never have noticed Valensa's infiltration and attack. Valensa could have stopped and left at the last step, pretending she had never been there.

Those who were able to detect Valensa's attack and react are likely to have some issues.

Even if it's a misunderstanding, we can apologize and explain properly later... If we can find the real culprit behind the case and thwart the conspiracy in advance, it's not a big deal at all.

There aren't many staff members on campus right now, less than twenty in total, and Valensa quickly tested them all.

No one reacted to Valensa sneaking into their room, and they slept soundly even when Valensa made faces at them or raised her sword as if to strike.

To prevent anyone from faking sleep, Valensa even used her mental powers to enhance her senses, carefully observing everyone's breathing and heartbeat to ensure they were truly asleep.

The result was still nothing found... Currently, all school staff, including the management, seem to be fine.

Of course, it's also possible that the school itself is fine, and that Sofia is just overthinking things and has misled Valensa's thinking.

But Valencia is cautious, to put it nicely; to put it bluntly, she's rather timid... She tries her best to prepare for any potential dangers lurking around her.

So even though there was nothing wrong with testing the school staff, Valensa hesitated for a while before taking out a lot of remote-controlled bombs that she had obtained from Vie and secretly placing them in several locations within the college.

Her thinking was simple... If someone in the school really set up this magical barrier for some kind of conspiracy, then she could just be prepared to destroy it at any time, right?

This is the capital of Fran. Without the cover of a magical barrier, any conspiracy will ultimately fail due to the swift reactions of the paladins and vanguard.

After doing all this, Valensa finally felt a little uneasy, which Sofia's speculation had stirred up.

Looking up at the night sky, the moon was already very high... It really was time to go back to sleep.

. . . . .

The next day.

As always, the whistle rang out throughout the girls' dormitory just as dawn was breaking.

Compared to the first day, most of the girls were now prepared and immediately got out of bed to gather in the lobby on the first floor.

This left Valensa both pleased and somewhat disappointed.

I'm glad that her training of the girls has been quite effective these past few days, but I'm disappointed because she can no longer legitimately spank the girls.

Fortunately, although I can't enjoy it with my hands, I can still enjoy it with my eyes.

After all, a group of well-built aristocratic girls running in bunny girl ninja outfits is quite an alluring sight.

Today is the seventh day of military training. According to the rules Valencia set on the first day, the number of morning runs this morning has increased to 22 laps, more than 15,000 meters.

This level of physical training would be enough to exhaust an ordinary person, but these girls, who inherited excellent bloodlines, completed the entire course.

It wasn't exactly easy; most of the girls were out of breath. But after a short rest, they would have the energy to chat and laugh with their friends and enjoy breakfast together.

In the morning, just when the girls thought that today's training would be divided into three groups as in the previous days, Valensa proposed a new training program.

"You've pretty much got the basic training done... It's time to check your progress and start the next training exercise."

Valensa looked serious as she watched the girls' curious gazes.

"I hope you are mentally prepared that the training ahead will be even tougher, because what I need you to do is to endure the pain."

"Hey?"

The girls' eyes widened in dissatisfaction and confusion.

Training to endure pain sounds terrifying, right?

It's just basic military training to learn some self-defense skills. It's not like I'm going to become a regular soldier. Is it really necessary to go to this extent?

Chapter 288 still happened.

"What? You think this kind of training is unnecessary?"

None of the girls hid their emotions, and Valensa naturally saw through their thoughts at a glance.

She smiled and shook her head:

"Actually, quite the opposite... This training is the most important. If you can't even endure some of the most basic pain, then no matter how well you do the previous training, it's useless."

"Why... why?"

One girl retorted, clearly unconvinced:

"If we can master swordsmanship and magic, can't we defeat the thugs before we get injured? There's no need to wait until we're injured to retaliate, is there?"

"...You yourself know that the purpose of your training is to defend against criminals."

Valensa looked at the girl with amusement:

"But do the attackers have writing on their faces? How do you determine if someone passing by is an attacker before they launch an attack? Are you going to take down every stranger within a certain range?"

"Ah this..."

The girl was speechless, and many of the other girls also showed expressions of understanding.

"Think about what your classmates went through... What is an attack? It's an attack that stabs you when you're completely unprepared. That's what an attack is."

Valensa continued:

"You should have felt it during these days of training. Even if your own cultivation talent is slightly inferior to that of other family members, the bloodline you inherited gives you a stronger physique than ordinary people."

The same was true for the four students who were attacked... Their strength, speed, and stamina were actually much greater than the attackers'. Even if they fought wildly when attacked, they would have had a high probability of defeating the attackers and protecting themselves. But what was the result?

They initially suffered only minor stab wounds, but panicked completely, resorting to pointless crying and screaming, even invoking their families to scare the attackers… Ultimately, they either suffered further physical harm from the crazed attackers, or had their clothes stolen in the street and endured unimaginable humiliation.”

"..."

The girls fell completely silent.

"Now you understand the importance of this training, right?"

Valensa sighed softly:

"As your instructor and friend, I actually hope that you will never have to go through the training I have arranged for you these days... But if you are really in danger, the hardship and pain you are enduring now may save your lives then."

"..."

The girls remained silent, but their eyes no longer held the confusion and resistance they had before.

"Please let me feel the pain properly, Instructor!"

The first one to step forward was, as always, Lian.

It's clear she was a little afraid of this pain-endurance training, but she didn't back down at all.

"If I can't even be fearless of pain, how can I realize my dream of becoming a hero? Come on, instructor, I'm willing to be the first to train!"

Many girls had complicated expressions as they watched Lian's figure.

This martial-minded girl, who dreamed of being a hero, naturally became an outcast in the eyes of everyone at Iris Girls' Academy.

At first, many girls looked down on Lian and often mocked her.

Fortunately, Lian is a strong and kind girl. She not only doesn't hold a grudge against those who mocked her, but also often uses her strength to help her classmates.

So even Lian herself didn't know that she was actually very popular among the students.

When Valensa destroyed the construct golem and it exploded that day, the students and teachers who went to check the situation were the first to think of Ren, and while they were still scared, they subconsciously hid behind Ren.

Now, it's still Lian who has the courage to be the first to step forward and face the pain tolerance training.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say, Lian."

Seeing Lian's expression that said, "I'm ready to bleed and sacrifice myself," Valensa chuckled and ruffled Lian's hair before looking at the other classmates:

"Don't worry, everyone. I'll be very careful... And don't forget I'm a paladin. I'll heal your injuries immediately after training and make sure no scars are left on your beautiful skin."

The girls finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the Kingdom of Fran, the word "paladin" always brings a sense of security.

And so, the pain tolerance training began.

Under Valensa's skillful touch, the girls first screamed in pain, then slowly began to moan softly in pleasure.

This was also a great training opportunity for Valensa, whose healing magic skills improved rapidly amidst the girls' comfortable moans.

Three more days passed just like that.

Summer vacation is almost over, and the girls' training is progressing smoothly. Sofia's speculations and worries seem to have been nothing but overthinking.

That evening, after a day of training, Valensa took a shower, lay on the edge of her bed, and held a small bat in her hand, intending to tease it a bit and chat with Fran.

However, the little bat, which usually flies up and spins quickly when flicked with a finger, didn't react at all today, even after Valensa poked it several times, like a puppet with its strings cut.

This... shouldn't be the case?

Fran rarely leaves the capital, and even if she were to leave, she would probably tell Valensa first.

After arriving at Iris Girls' Academy, Valensa would play with the little bats and chat with Fran almost every day, and was never affected by the magical barrier.

At the very least, the previous magical barriers wouldn't have blocked this kind of magical communication.

But now the magic communication system has suddenly stopped working...

A huge sense of unease rose in her heart. Without hesitation, Valensa got up, dressed, and jumped out of the window.

!

Sure enough, while Valencia was taking a shower, several men in black robes wearing white masks entered the campus and were inscribing some kind of magic circle on the ground.
