The next day.
The freshmen combat training is the same as the sophomores', forming teams of four.
However, unlike the random allocation for sophomores, freshmen are more inclined towards familiar combat.
Freshmen will be equipped with armaments.
They are allowed to use extraordinary items.
Two members of the team are assisted by senior students.
It can be said that the combat is much easier than that of the sophomores, and mentors are not worried about accidents happening to the students.
At this moment, outside the training field, Chloe was organizing her space backpack.
This cubic space backpack was Chloe's heaviest asset.
70,000 Gold Pounds is no small number.
It's money that an ordinary family might not save up in a lifetime, just in exchange for a 1×1×1 space backpack.
At the time, she had just made a big buck, couldn't control herself for a moment, and regretted it after buying it.
Now that she's regained her past life's memories, she regrets it even more.
Fortunately, this thing still holds its value.
She squatted on the ground humming a tune while organizing her luggage.
"I will bring the finest sword♬~"
"Climb the highest mountain♬~"
"Enter the deepest forest and bring back the princess♬~"
Seeing Teresa walk past her, she reached into her bag.
"Teresa."
The girl looked back, and a pouch containing a cork-stopped flask fell into her palm.
She raised an eyebrow.
"Provocation?"
"No, a gift." He took out a small flask, uncorked it, and drank it all in one gulp, saying, "Ceylon Milk Tea from the magic energy drink shop at the academy gate, a great thing for restoring stamina."
"Because we teamed up this semester?"
"Not just that."
"I don't need it, you keep it, also…"
She returned the flask in reverse, staring at Chloe and saying:
"Here's a piece of advice, don't casually approach the Voodoo Sequence, not every Voodoo is as clean-handed as me."
With the Voodoo Sequence filled with land mine girls, he didn't mind being poisoned, just as long as it didn't affect her combat assessment.
She turned and entered the inner field.
But as she walked, she felt something was off, reached into her backpack, and found a small flask that had somehow been added inside.
A paper note was stuck on top:
"Since you didn't take it, it won't be easy to give it to the freshmen later."
"Tch, when did this guy make his move?"
Teresa originally wanted to throw the flask into a trash can, but when she picked it up, she stuffed it back into her bag again.
Forget it, Ceylon Milk Tea is innocent.
At the entrance of the inner field.
Chloe looked at Teresa's actions, the corners of his mouth slightly rising.
It seemed that some character backgrounds from the original work hadn't changed much.
Teresa liked Ceylon Milk Tea, but due to the rules of the Cavendish Family and Night Thorn, she liked it but never bought it herself.
Later, when Rephya discovered this, every time they went out, she took the initiative to order the drink.
This was the beginning of a good orange situation between the two.
He mused.
Since even these useless details were similar, the preparations he made today definitely wouldn't be wasted.
The light of recovery wrapped around his hand, and a moment later, a beetle of unusually large size was thrown into the trash can.
"Well then, next, Miss Brave should encounter the demon attack incident."
Crimson Church, one of the demon-worshiping cults.
Their Abyssal Sequence legacy, from Sequence 9 villain to Sequence 8 Demon Worshiper, then to Sequence 7 demon-person…
Each step lures the Extraordinary into the abyss.
The demon-person is entirely in the shape of a demon, both physically and spiritually.
During the newcomer combat period, Rephya was separated from her team and accidentally discovered a demon-person from the escaping Crimson Church.
After being attacked, she used the [tenacity] trait she simulated to endure the pain and fight with the demon-person, persevering until her team members arrived.
This event sparked the interest of the main character group in her.
Now he replaced Teresa's roommate Fu·Icarus, to prevent any accidents.
After all, who knows what new traits that silly girl got.
He would never allow his family's humanoid acceleration plug-in to have an accident!
...
Location: Duel Plaza · Teleportation Gate Entrance
Presented before the students were ring-like machines resembling massive city gates.
A bewildering and magnificent energy channel bloomed in the midst of the mechanical rings, like an ionic spark.
This is the Ethereal Emblem device used to teleport people to the Maze.
The Maze is also known as Secret Realm or Underground City by some.
The freshman test involves passing through the teleportation gate to head to the academy-administered D-level Maze for combat testing.
At this moment, professors and mentors from all institutes gathered in one place.
Even some seniors and senior sisters with nothing to do gathered nearby.
Chloe knew they would be…oh no, live-broadcasted throughout their description of the maze, but was indifferent.
Only as she just arrived at the Duel Plaza, she saw a small girl squatting there pitifully.
It was his mentor Nini.
Upon seeing Chloe, her face carried a trace of grievance and coquetry, drooping her head as she said:
"Chloe, you won't switch mentors, right? Otherwise, I'd be sad."
That tear-filled look made it hard for others to refuse.
In a daze, Chloe recalled when he nominated Heisha as a mentor, and someone said:
"Master Nini will shed little pearls again, she really likes Chloe."
Bad stuff.
Chloe looked at the petite-sized Master Nini, feeling a bit guilty.
Nini is a good mentor, but unfortunately, Chloe is a scoundrel.
The morning sunlight cast against his face, giving his expression a hazy glow.
Then, a faint redness could be seen creeping up from Master Nini's collarbone.
The originally quiet sobbing turned into pathetically hopeful glances that said:
"Chloe, did you really choose Heisha just to learn something new?"
"Of course, once I've mastered it, I can protect Master Nini."
Master Nini's pale face gradually broke into a joyful expression, pulling Chloe as she said:
"You promised, you can't deceive the Elf, come on, pinky swear!"
"Of course, Master Nini is the best."
He extended his finger to hook around hers.
Master Nini from the Treasure Elf race is born unable to grow up.
Don't be fooled by her being over 100 years old; her personality is still like a child.
From time to time, she'd sneak the principal's odd-tasting cookies, burn the vice principal's magazine photoshoots.
But over there in the faculty, everyone spoils her.
Because everyone knows that the Treasure Elf is born with the [Strong Fortune]gift.
Who wouldn't adore a mascot?
At this time, Master Nini left joyfully, hopping as she walked away after receiving a satisfactory answer.
Behind him, Rephya, who had just arrived, had her mouth slightly open.
Could it really be the Filthy Moon Demon King she knows?
That smile was too gentle.
Even without facing him directly, Rephya could tell just by meeting his gaze you'd fall for his eyes, his lips, and his smile.
No wonder some girls from the high school Ethereal Emblem Division would get into fights over him.
But why is he a Demon King?
If it were a disguise, it'd be too good of one.
If not, then seeing someone like him become a Demon King willingly, somewhat shakes one's belief.
Chloe doesn't necessarily need that mind-controlling talent to make many submit.
— At least she felt that her roommate Aisha couldn't manage it.
"Forget it, let's see who my teammates are."
Rephya looked around, wanting to see which "lucky guy" would team up with her.
She was prepared that if her team were truly mediocre, she wouldn't cause any disturbance to them.
Swallow her pride and switch teams, ask the Demon King to carry her, after all, it won't cause pregnancy.
She patted her chest with fear.
Fortunately, the Demon King wasn't interested in her.
But when she arrived in the team waiting area, her brow suddenly jumped wildly.
Teresa, a second-year student, first in the Voodoo Class, Sequence 8, the designated inheritor of a mysterious association.
Fratiss, a first-year student in the Iron Guard Class, ranked first, Sequence 9, this year's Warrior Series' Gemini.
It's said she comes from a border knight family and was exceptionally recommended to the Ethereal Emblem due to her outstanding talent.
In less than a year, she ascended to Sequence 9, now about to ascend to Sequence 8 at any time.
She was once a member of the Gemini herself.
Despite feeling a bit disappointed, Rephya still managed a smile.
As long as the last person is somewhat reliable, this time she won't hinder them too much.
But when the last person appeared before her, her smile gradually froze.
"De-De-De..."
