The story of the black silk female knight

Valensa and Tia suddenly spoke in unison, then looked at each other and smiled.

"Harry's magic has become much more solid, and his control over the elemental magic of fire, wind, and ice is quite smooth," Tia commented from the perspective of a spellcaster.

“Giru’s strength and stamina also seem to have increased by at least half, and this is without him using the secret technique to expand his body. His explosive power would definitely be even higher after using the secret technique.”

Valencia also commented on Giroud, and after a slight hesitation, added:

"Judging from the power of his previous sword strikes, if he enters his 'expanded' state, his pure strength is not much weaker than my 'Evil God' state... It can be said that he is quite powerful. If his attack hits, he can even injure a 'Radiant Rank' expert."

There was another thought that Valensa kept to herself, but she didn't say it aloud.

With Giroud's current muscular physique, I wonder if Melody can handle it?

"Because they've all broken through to the Lighthouse level too."

Chiba, who returned to school a month earlier than Valensa and the others, smiled and continued the conversation:

"It seems they were spurred on by our successive breakthroughs. The three of them have been working very hard for the past six months. I'm not too sure about Gil and Harry, but I often see Melody practicing her sword dance alone under the moonlight late at night."

As soon as Chiba mentioned Melody, Melody, who had been deep in thought, suddenly started to move.

The sword dance was still elegant, but the speed hadn't increased; in fact, it had slowed down a bit.

But with just one pose, the diamonds on the white silk bodysuit tightly wrapped around Melody's hot and delicate body refracted the sunlight into a very dreamy color, instantly attracting people's attention. They could no longer look away from the radiant spot on Melody's body, and afterwards, they felt thirsty, their eyes were fixed, and they had an impulse to kneel down next to Melody and ask her to grant them death.

Valensa wasn't sure how others fared, but she herself was snapped out of her reverie by a sharp pinch on the waist from Tia's irritating grip on the sword dance.

I've been infected again...

Valensa couldn't help but smile wryly after regaining her senses.

When the students trained together before, Melody was the only one in the entire elite unit who could beat Valensa with a high probability.

Regardless of a life-or-death battle, at least in a sparring match, Valensa is highly likely to be charmed whenever Melody uses her Shining Sword Dance.

Now... Valensa feels that if she were to spar with Melody again, she would most likely still lose.

That sword dance, which combines beauty, jewelry, light refraction, and hypnosis, is so effective at restraining someone like Valensa who loves beautiful women and jewelry but can't bring herself to hurt Melody.

If Valencia was like this, then the boys who secretly admired Melody and spied on her training nearby were naturally even more despicable.

As the stunning figure in the diamond-studded white bodysuit continued to dance in the sunlight, several boys, their eyes glazed over and drooling, staggered towards Melody like zombies. Their legs buckled before they reached her, about to kneel.

Snapped!

Fortunately, Melody stopped her sword dance in time and snapped her fingers, which immediately brought the boys back to their senses, and they were all blushing with shame.

Melody was clearly not used to this kind of thing before, and her expression was very calm.

She didn't show any disgust or disdain, but simply shook her head slightly at the boys with regret:

"I'm sorry, everyone, you've lost again... So, as agreed, you can't pursue me for the next month."

"……Understood."

The boys all hung their heads in dejection. Coupled with their embarrassing performance just now, they were even more ashamed to stay in front of Melody any longer, and soon they all ran away.

“Sure, Melody.”

Valensa then stepped forward to greet her, and naturally put her arm around Melody's shoulder:

"They've actually started using simps as free testing grounds?"

"Lick the dog?"

Melody carefully considered the word twice, seemingly pondering its specific meaning. After a moment, she subtly removed Valensa's hand from her body while shaking her head.

"You misunderstood... I didn't take advantage of those students' ideas; I just wanted to resolve this matter properly."

As you know, the sword dance I practice is all about seduction, so I must always maintain my charm and not easily reject the men who pursue me. I must keep them with a sliver of hope and fantasy.

But I can't actually date them, so I came up with this idea... to make a formal agreement with them that if they are bewitched by my sword dance, they can't pursue me for a month.

In terms of results...it seems to have worked quite well. More boys at school like me, but I haven't encountered much more trouble; in fact, I've improved quite a bit in terms of skills.

"Aren't you just using a simp as a testing ground for your own training?"

Valensa complained irritably.

"Okay."

Seeing that Melody seemed to want to argue, Valensa waved her hand:

"Let's not talk about those simps and backup suitors anymore... If you're well-informed, you probably already know that a new dungeon is about to open for raiding. I've used my connections to get a spot in a 10-person party that can operate in the outer city. Are you guys interested in joining me?"

"Do you have a spot for that dungeon's strategy guide?"

Melody knew about this as expected, and her eyes lit up instantly:

"That's great... Of course I want to go to the dungeon to broaden my horizons. I even pulled some strings to ask an adventurer's guild manager for help, but that bastard insisted on spending three nights with me before he would allow the three of us to participate... It's infuriating."

"After all, Melody, you are really beautiful and alluring."

Valensa chuckled:

"If I were a manager of that adventurers' guild, I definitely wouldn't be satisfied with just three nights. I would make you stay with me for at least five days."

"Get lost, you shameless bastard!"

Melody snorted in annoyance:

"Tia's still here, and you're acting like this? Aren't you afraid of getting a beating when you get home tonight?"

"Tia would never hit me. Tia is very gentle with me."

Valensa puffed out her chest, smiled, and boasted, then added:

"Seriously, I got a spot on the team this time, are you guys going?"

"This……"

Melody didn't answer immediately. Instead, she circled Valensa, scrutinizing her carefully before asking:

"Of course I want to go, but why is your team only allowed to operate in the outer city? When I talked to the administrator of the Adventurers' Guild before, he didn't mention any such restriction."

"Because I set this restriction myself."

Valensa didn't mention the intelligence the bald man had given her, she only said:

"The inner city is too dangerous. Without the strength of a Radiant Rank, you can't even protect yourself. We're just participating in the dungeon raid to broaden our horizons, not to risk our lives for wealth. I think it's fine to just join in the fun in the outer city."

"Just as I thought... You're still so cautious."

Melody stopped, smiled, and nodded slightly.

“Okay, I agree on behalf of Giru and Harry. We’ll go together and broaden our horizons.”

"Then it's settled..."

Valensa told him the start time and meeting point for the Perfect Rudy dungeon raid, then thought for a moment and smiled, adding:

"It's been quite a while since we last saw each other... How about this, I'll go buy some ingredients, and we'll meet at our usual spot after your classes this afternoon. How about some barbecue and spicy hot pot?"

"Yeah."

Melody nodded repeatedly:

"Although the folk snacks you invented are sold in many places now, I feel that the ones you make by hand are the most delicious. Especially that foodie Giroud, he's been craving your barbecue for so long."

"Haha, don't worry."

Valensa smiled:

"Once this dungeon raid is over, Tia and I will go back to school... Of course, it's impossible to be there every day, but we can at least maintain a minimum attendance rate. We'll have plenty of opportunities to train, eat, drink, and have fun together then."

"Ah."

Seemingly recalling the happy school days of her first year, Melody's eyes were filled with a look of reminiscence.

Valensa and Melody chatted for a couple more minutes before preparing to leave temporarily to gather ingredients for the barbecue and spicy hot pot that evening.

"and many more!"

Just then, Giroud finished his sword-wielding practice and rushed over to stop Valensa, who was about to leave.

"Is there anything else?"

Valensa looked at Giroud curiously and teased him:

"You're not so hungry that you want to eat barbecue right now, are you?"

"Haha, I really miss the barbecue you made, Valensa... The ones sold on the street these days don't seem to have as many varieties as yours, and they also lack the flavor of your barbecue."

Giroud chuckled and smacked his lips before speaking seriously:

"But I can wait until tonight for the barbecue. Right now... I want to have a friendly match with you, or rather, we'd like to have a friendly match with you together."

"You three want to spar with me?"

Valensa shrugged, glancing at Melody and Harry, who were equally invigorated by Giroud's words:

"Sparring is fine, but isn't it a bit unfair for you to have three against one? Can I call on Tia and Caocao to join my team?"

"Stop joking."

Giroud said with a hint of helplessness:

“We know all about your achievements... Although we are all at the Beacon level now, we are all very clear that if you get serious, we are no match for you... But judging from your appearance, it seems that you have not yet broken through to the Radiant Rank. We just want to understand the gap between ourselves and the peak of the Beacon, so as to prepare for the upcoming dungeon conquest.”

"I see... Well then, I'll use my peak strength at Lighthouse to have a little sparring session with the three of you."

Valensa hesitated for a moment, ignoring the speechless expressions of Melody and the other two, and immediately began making arrangements:

"Cao Cao, check if there are any other students around here peeking at Melody's sword dance. If so, politely ask them to leave."

"Yes, Big Sister~"

Thousand-leaf grass responded and vanished in a flash.

"I'll leave the magical barrier to conceal any movement to you, Tia."

Valensa then looked at Tia:

"This is, after all, a school, and I don't want to make too much noise and attract the teachers' attention."

"Don't worry, it's nothing."

Tia chuckled and nodded, and several golden magic cards flew out from her cuffs, collar, and under her skirt, enclosing an area of ​​about a hundred meters in radius. Using Bretania's unique linking magic, she connected the space and constructed a simple domain.

"Gina, um, I'll leave it to you to be the referee."

Valensa then said to Gina:

"Since your Sharon family's secret technique is a kind of magic eye, then Senior Gina's eyesight and dynamic vision should be much stronger than normal people, making her a perfect candidate for referee."

Although this is just a friendly spar, I'm not exactly a renowned expert, and I might inadvertently cause danger to Melody and the others. I'll have to ask Gina-senpai to use your Mystic Eyes to stop me then.”

"Ok."

Gina always acts like a cold, aloof beauty to everyone except Princess E, even Valensa, with whom she has a good relationship.

She simply responded, and an ice disc materialized beneath her feet. She then controlled the ice disc to lift herself into the air, hovering over the referee's position.

"Hmm, that should solve the problem. Shall we start...wait?"

Valensa had just finished arranging the sparring and was about to say to Melody and the others, "Let's begin," when she noticed that all three of them looked furious.

"What's wrong? Who made you angry?" Valensa asked curiously.

"Who else could it be? Of course it's you, you idiot!"

Melody rolled her eyes at Valensa, annoyed, and snorted:

"Judging from the tone you used when you were making those arrangements, it seemed like you were already certain of victory?"

"...Do you really think I'll lose?"

Valensa tilted her head and then arrogantly puffed out her chest:

"I'm really sorry, I really can't think of how I could lose."

"Damn it! Don't forget how many times I've annihilated you in a flash!"

Melody's chest seemed to swell a little with anger, and with a swift slash of her rapier, she assumed a dancing pose:

"Don't hold back, give her a good beating! She's a paladin, she's incredibly resilient."

After saying that, her hot and alluring body began to dance again, the rhinestones on her white bodysuit reflecting the sunlight in a dreamlike way, as if she wanted to use her charm to instantly seduce Valensa.
