The story of the black silk female knight

"So the divine seal on you now is sealing your evil god power, right? Actually, I think the church is doing the wrong thing... I wrote this scroll specifically for you because I wanted you to awaken your evil god bloodline on your own."

"???"

Valensa was even more confused.

Could this bald guy be part of a cult? Why would he want to actively awaken an evil god?

"Can't understand? Hmm... It seems you're still lacking in this area, considering how close you are to the little girl from the Britannia family."

The bald man scratched his head and thought for a moment:

"Now that you know the truth about what happened back then, it means that the church has completely accepted you and given you sufficient intelligence access, right?"

You must know about the incident where your sister was almost abducted by human traffickers when she was little, right?

"Ah."

Valensa nodded.

Those human traffickers were really unlucky... You can kidnap a little girl and then try to scare her, but the terrified girl had a sudden awakening of her powers and almost wiped out the entire human trafficking gang.

"Your sister was just a little girl when her bloodline awakened. There were no powerful members of the church around to seal her away in time, and she killed many people on instinct... You should have thought she would have gone berserk by now, right?"

The bald man shrugged and said:

"But you lived with her for so many years afterward, did you ever see her lose control? Or could you tell that she was actually very strong?"

"This……"

Valensa thought back and realized that she hadn't actually noticed it.

In her memory, Elena was always the younger sister who was very clingy to her and would always hide behind her.

"Your Excellency, do you mean...?"

Valensa seemed to have a pretty good idea of ​​what the bald man was planning.

"It's just what you think."

The bald man shook his head:

"The bloodline of the Baldr family is very strong, but it is still the bloodline of mortals after all, and it is far inferior to the bloodline of your mother... Even if you live in human society, the bloodline in your body will eventually awaken completely one day."

Like the innate bloodline of mortals, the earlier this bloodline awakens, the easier it is to control, and the easier it will be to cultivate later... Like your sister, who was able to control the power of the evil god from a young age.

And what do you say...? Although your bloodline power has been dormant, it has also been growing, and its growth rate is no slower than your sister's.

Compared to the power of the evil god within you, the power you've cultivated yourself is far too weak. If you continue to allow the power within you to grow in its slumber, it could truly become a terrifying being when you fully awaken.

Of course, the church should have had a contingency plan for this... The divine seal on you now is actually very powerful... This kind of perfect technology that can seal bloodline power without affecting cultivation is probably something even the Sage's Tower can't produce. It must be some kind of miracle... Her Majesty the Sun Goddess really spoils her own people.

However, I still feel that this method of suppressing bloodline instincts through sealing techniques is wrong.

No matter how powerful the seal is, it will eventually be broken for various reasons. By then, even if you want to control your bloodline power, it will probably be too late.

Instead of doing that, you'd better adapt sooner and control your power properly.

"If I could control it, of course I would want to... It's because I couldn't control it that Lady Sila used divine magic to seal me."

Valensa still held the scroll in both hands, looking troubled.

"Rika and the others repeatedly told me that I must never eat soul crystals or offerings to evil gods again, but Headmaster, you gave me this... Are you sure you're not trying to trick me?"

"Well... that depends on your own awareness."

The bald man then looked Valensa up and down, nodding as he did so:

"Hmm... it should be fine. The divine seal on your body has a self-repair function. Even if it is accidentally broken, as long as it suppresses you for a period of time, it can reseal your evil god power. It would be perfect for training... Hmm, it seems I misunderstood the church's intentions. Their thoughts are probably similar to mine, just a bit passive and too conservative."

"So, Headmaster, what you're thinking...?"

"It's nothing."

The bald man looked away and gazed at the sky:

"Everyone knows about my bad habit of being a heavy drinker. If a pretty young girl comes to me with good wine in the middle of the night, I might as well give her some pointers... for example, when she loses control of her power and goes berserk, I can subdue her."

"...I understand what you mean, thank you, Principal!"

Valensa then put the scroll away, overjoyed.

The sooner you can control the powerful but unstable evil god's power within your body, the better.

With the divine seal as insurance, and with the bald man personally overseeing things, Valensa no longer needs to wait until she reaches the Star-level before trying to control the evil god's power; she can start adapting now!

If you want to thank me, you should show sincerity.

The bald man was not polite at all:

"The last time you gave me that little square flask of wine... the kind with a really weird and spicy taste, I thought it was pretty good... Where did you get it from? I asked a lot of old wine lovers, but no one knows."

Because it's basically industrial alcohol and chemicals from a cyberpunk world.

Valensa chuckled inwardly, but her face remained impeccably obedient:

"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, Headmaster, you'll be able to taste that wine again soon."

They never mentioned the source of the wine.

"Tsk... cunning little girl, fine."

The bald man didn't press for details. Before dragging the wild boar away, he thought for a moment and then said:

"By the way, now that you've broken through to the Lighthouse level, come find me later with that girl from the Britannia family. I'll give you a small task after the freshman welcome banquet tomorrow."

Chapter 34 Valensa and Tia's Performance Battle

Tia returned home just as it was getting dark.

Following the bald man's instructions, Valensa accompanied Tia to dinner and rested for a while before they went to the principal's office together.

“Here…here he comes.”

The bald man was indeed still drinking, and it was very likely that he had been drinking ever since he came back in the afternoon; his tongue was now swollen from drinking so much.

"Sit...sit down, hiccup."

Pointing to the sofa in his office, gesturing for Valensa and Tia to sit down, the bald man then sized them up with a drunken look.

Valensa and Tia didn't say anything, they just looked at the bald man curiously, waiting for him to speak.

"Wow...they are all really amazing girls. At such a young age, they have already reached a level that many people can't achieve in their entire lives...gulp."

The bald man watched for a while, muttered a sigh, and then tilted his head back to gulp down another large mouthful of wine:

"It's decided then! Great!"

"!"

Valensa finally lost her patience with the riddle-loving drunkard:

"What exactly have you decided, Principal?"

"Haha... You're getting anxious? You're getting anxious so quickly?"

Whether the bald man was truly drunk or faking it was unclear, but he certainly looked erratic and delirious.

He then pointed to Tia:

"Look how calm the young lady from the Britannia family is. Your cultivation is still lacking."

"...Tia, let's go."

Valensa became even angrier and tried to get up and leave, pulling Tia along with her.

"Hey... don't rush me... I haven't gotten to the important thing yet, hiccup."

The bald man quickly stopped the two women, hiccuping as he spoke:

"Actually, it's nothing major. After the freshman welcome banquet tomorrow, I plan to arrange for the two of you to give the freshmen a performance battle."

"A performance battle? Me and Tia?"

Valensa became quite interested and even glanced at Tia with a hint of anticipation.

Tia just smiled.

"Ah."

The bald man shook his head in affirmation:

"To have broken through to the Lighthouse level in just the second year is a remarkable achievement in the entire history of the War Academy. Coupled with your outstanding performance in various events last year, many freshmen this year are fans of both of you."

"Since you two have both recently broken through to a higher level, you're probably both eager to have a good match against opponents of similar ability, right? How about we have an exhibition match to entertain everyone?"

"This……"

Valensa hesitated, but was quite tempted by the proposal.

She had long wanted to have a good match with Tia, who also had many trump cards up her sleeve, but Tia wasn't very good at facing opponents head-on, so sparring one-on-one would be too unfair.

However, with the absorption of the gray rat's soul crystal and the increase in strength to the Lighthouse level, Tia should now have considerable combat ability. In a sparring match, the outcome is really hard to say.

"Tia, what do you think?"

"I think it's a good idea."

Tia smiled broadly and readily agreed, her eyes brimming with eagerness:

"Actually, I already sparred with some of the other disciples of our teacher when we were in the Sage's Tower... but they were all too weak. I couldn't even finish before I was serious. I hope you can last a little longer, Valensa."

"So confident?"

Valensa raised an eyebrow in surprise, somewhat unconvinced:

"Tia, have you forgotten? I told you last night that I have a trump card to deal with spellcasters. I even took down a Star-level spellcaster. Aren't you afraid?"

"If you hadn't told me, I would have been really scared, and I probably would have lost to you in one move."

Tia's smile deepened:

"It's a pity you've already told me about the abilities and characteristics of that trump card... while you still don't know what new moves I've learned, right?"

"Goo... Tia, you're so cunning!"

Valensa immediately reached out and grabbed at Tia:

"Then tell me quickly, what new tricks have you learned?"

Snapped.

Tia rolled her eyes and slapped Valensa's hand away:

"No way... You'll understand once you experience it for yourself tomorrow. This is a new skill I developed specifically for being ambushed. It's very effective against you. You're doomed to lose."

"Is that so? Then I'll wait and see."

The exhibition match was settled, and the bald man officially instructed the school staff to make preparations. Valensa and Tia were also actively preparing for the match.

Valensa tried to get some information from Tia during their intimate nighttime encounter, but Tia playfully chased her out of the room.

"Go away... You almost exhausted me last night, let's rest today."

That's what they say, but Valensa could tell that Tia had no intention of resting at all, but was going to prepare for tomorrow's performance overnight.

It's obvious that Tia really wants to win.

Valensa certainly didn't want to lose either.

Unlike Tia's all-night preparations, Valensa chose to sleep in and get plenty of rest to get her body into top condition.

The second day of the freshman welcome banquet arrived just like that.

The banquet was similar to last year's, with the bald man giving a speech and the students eating and drinking. Every dish at the banquet was made with carefully selected ingredients and was very helpful for spiritual practice.

Upperclassmen are not supposed to attend the freshman welcome banquet.

But Valensa and Tia had a performance battle later, so the academy arranged a separate table for them as well. They invited a few friends and had a good meal.

After the banquet food was almost completely devoured in a whirlwind, the bald man jumped out again and mysteriously announced that there would be additional activities later, telling the freshmen to wait in the academy's largest training ground.

Upon learning that Valensa was going to fight Tia, not only were the freshmen excited, but even Valensa and Tia's friends were very interested.

Who wouldn't love to watch two beautiful, hot, and genius girls fight?

Valensa and Tia quickly took their positions at opposite ends of the training field, waiting for the bald man to announce the rules.
