So I became a witch

"It's too slow! When you actually arrive on the battlefield, the Calamity Beast won't wait for you! You must enter the combat state faster!"

"In terms of weapons, you should prefer to use close combat, right? But I personally recommend that you prepare at least one or two secondary weapons, otherwise you will be in trouble when you meet some guys with high mobility, such as my 'Ice Blue' "Rose" is the main specialized long-range type, if it's not limited to the arena, you wouldn't even be able to touch me."

"There are too many redundant movements! The dragon knight is different from the human body, and the joints can't really move freely like a human, so you have to adapt to the dead angle range of the dragon knight, and attack the opponent as simple and direct as possible! Similarly, in a battle with a dragon knight as an opponent, understanding the range of this dead angle can also make it easier for you to avoid the opponent's attack, but this needs to be understood by yourself."

"Don't resist the dragon knight! Imagine that it is your body! Spirit! Soul! Everything is fused together! More importantly, trust it!"

In the training ground in the early morning, the white and blue dragon knights are constantly intersecting and separating from each other. The pilot in the white training machine is me, and the blue one is naturally Triss.

As far as the result is concerned, she still agreed to my request for special training, and even took out her own exclusive machine for tutoring.

Chapter 160 Emergencies

I have to admit that the performance of the same dragon knights is also very different. If it is not for the second connection, the ability of the training machine itself will not even be able to touch Triss's toes.

"... You're pretty quick to get started, you guy, are you really just new to the Dragon Knight?" During the intermission, we released the connection and leaned on the Dragon Knight, drinking heavily from the training session. Energy drinks from the vending machines next to the restaurant.

"If you don't count Vutrisa." In fact, I haven't been in contact with Vutrisa for too long.

"Although you are still a bit jerky, but now you are enough to use the full potential of the general training machine, even if you continue to practice, it will not help. Generally speaking, it is often limited to the driver's own qualifications, and you cannot fully use it. The power of the knight, but it is the other way around for you. Your own high level has suppressed the performance of the dragon knight. If you want to improve it, you have to use some army mass-produced machines or special customized Otherwise, it’s just a waste of qualifications. Really, what the hell is that guy Kamyoka thinking? Since you are your master, you should naturally take on the responsibility of the master. If it were me, I would have already I will prepare a more suitable dragon knight for you." Triss complained with her arms folded.

"Haha...Maybe Ms. Kamdaihua has her own ideas." I laughed dryly, "After all, the exclusive machine sounds quite expensive, right?"

"Well, this kind of thing also varies from person to person. Since it is an exclusive machine, it is natural to consider the driver's own situation. It may not be the most expensive, but it must be the most suitable. If it is designed by a famous designer , the value will double again.”

"Well, the words of Triss-senpai?"

"Huh? For my 'Ice Blue Rose', if some additional weapons are removed, the value of the main body is about [-] million federal coins. Just an occasional attack like today will cost tens of thousands of federal coins. If If you fight with all your strength, it will consume at least a million energy, right?"

"Cough, cough, cough!" I began to cough violently. Tens of thousands of federal currency, if I remember correctly, is enough to support a well-off family's annual expenditure, but in Triss's mouth, it is just a dragon. The price of an ordinary knight attack.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with your body?" Triss asked me with concern.

I shook my hand: "No, I was just a little scared... Well, since this is the case, I just used it so casually today..."

"Huh? Oh, it's okay, it's just a few tens of thousands." Triss looked indifferent. Is this the calmness of a rich woman?Please hug, please hug.

"Then, about the training plane..." I thought of another question and asked cautiously.

"For students who have made an appointment, the use of the training machine is free, because it has already been included in the tuition fee."

"Oh, that's good." I breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, if it causes damage beyond what is necessary, it will be a different story. You seem to have used some means to force the training machine to run in excess for a long time. After that, the maintenance cost seems to have reached a relatively large amount. , almost enough to buy another training machine.”

"..." My cold sweat couldn't stop falling.

Triss seemed to see what I was thinking: "Don't worry, since you haven't received the notification, it must have been paid for by that guy Kamyoka."

"...It really costs money, Dragon Knight." I let out a long breath, and at the same time made up my mind that I must never use the "second-degree connection" casually, otherwise my life will be fine, and my gold will be spared. me.

"Things that can be bought with money are nothing. Really expensive things are priceless." Triss said.

"Serial Dragon Knight?"

"Oh, you know? Well, it's not surprising. That's a miracle from the gods. Even today, all we can do is imitate rather than surpass. Among the 478 serial dragon knights, the current record There are only 38 units in operation on the list, and the rest were either buried somewhere in the Hundred Years War, or they were destroyed, or they are still sleeping, waiting for the chosen ones to wake them up..." Special As Liz spoke, she couldn't help showing longing in her expression.

"Is the senior sister also longing for the serial dragon knight?"

"Of course! As long as you are a qualified person, it is impossible not to target the legendary dragon knight!" Triss said angrily, "However, that is not an existence that can be achieved just by talking about it. The most important thing is the aptitude that is absolutely far beyond ordinary people, otherwise, even the burden activation cannot be activated... Among the students in the academy, there are probably only two people who have this aptitude, and one is that guy Kamyoka."

"I thought you would deliberately belittle the young lady."

"There is no way around this, after all, the facts are the facts." Triss turned her head and said, "That guy is simply a monster in terms of talent for driving the dragon knight. No matter what, it is impossible for a person to defeat a monster. Otherwise, she wouldn't have become the president of the student council in the sixth grade. At least at this level, there is nothing to refute."

"...Then, what about the other one?"

"The other one, of course, is my elder brother." Unlike before, Triss's expression suddenly became complacent, "Samuel von Carlosis. In terms of points ranking, He should be No.1 in this academy. If it wasn't for what happened before, he should be the real student council president!"

Samuel... I remember I searched for this name before. He should be an eighth grade student at Qianyu Academy. He has been occupying the first place in the standings since three years ago. With just a few words, he can It can be seen that it is definitely a powerful enemy that cannot be underestimated.

Well, it's none of my business anyway.

Because it was the weekend, there were hardly any people who came to the training hall. I leaned on the rest chair beside me and listened to Triss chatting about her big brother, but I was thinking about another thing.

"Drip——" Suddenly, the bell ringing from Triss's pocket interrupted our conversation. Triss smiled at me apologetically at first, but the moment she took out the screen and glanced over , his face suddenly became serious.

"Did something happen?" I asked.

"Emergency summoning order, the target is students above the seventh grade who have passed the actual combat assessment... Sorry, I have something to do, so I can't practice with you."

Chapter 160 Meeting

"Well, then you can go to your own business, I'm fine. Then, see you next time." I waved.

Triss froze for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, she also waved at me, "Well, see you next time."

Looking at her disappearing figure, I raised my head thoughtfully.An emergency summoning order... Well, it has nothing to do with me anyway, let's practice a little bit more to find the feeling before anyone else comes.

...But, soon, I realized that my idea was completely wrong.

"Sorry, Ye Zhixiao, can you help me take off my underwear?" I leaned out of the bathroom and shouted to Ye Zhixiao who was sitting on my bed and fiddling with the pile of machines.

Ye Zhixiao helped me pick up the clothes on the bed without raising his head, and threw them towards me. Compared with his blushing at the beginning, he has obviously adapted a lot now, and even if I saw his naked body, he would no longer show grief and indignation Looks, habits are really important.

"Well, thank you." I quickly changed my clothes, and after drying my hair a little, I casually draped it over my shoulders.Because it is the weekend, even if it is early in the morning, we can still stay in the dormitory leisurely without going to class. Although we originally planned to go to the training hall to continue practicing, but after seeing the gloomy sky outside the house, I Then gave up this idea.

Well, anyway, this kind of thing can't be rushed, even if you don't practice for a day or two, it doesn't matter.

"My master may have to come over during this time." Ye Zhixiao said to me who was lying on the bed bored.

"Is that so... Eh? Your master?" I stood up straight from the bed.

"Well, because I have received a message from him, I may come over for something in the near future." Ye Zhixiao said.

"Oh, in that case, have you told him about me?" I asked curiously.

"Let's just say..."

"What do you mean just now?"

"Because the communication between me and Master has always been one-way to prevent exposure, so I don't know if he has seen the message I sent him." Ye Zhixiao explained.

"Hey, is that so? It's the same as in spy movies."

"What is a spy movie?"

"The old movies that were popular in the last century, nothing."

"...Luo Tianchen always knows some strange knowledge, and it gives people a very retro feeling. Sometimes it really makes people wonder if he is actually an old woman who has lived for hundreds of years."

"I'm sorry for being so old-fashioned." After all, for people in this world, the 21st century I live in is so far away.

"Speaking of which, have you read the recent news?" Ye Zhixiao said suddenly.

"Huh? What news?" Ever since the fight with Triss caused a sensation, in order to avoid trouble, I have never logged on to the platform of the relevant school. Even Ling rarely let her out for activities, so I don't understand at all. What is he saying.

"After reaching the sixth grade, the students will be officially allowed to come into contact with the real dragon knight, and undergo a one-year special training, and conduct an actual combat assessment in the seventh grade, so as to obtain the qualification to drive the dragon knight. Although There are also some students like the president who obtained their qualification certificates before the sixth grade, but most of the students will take a unified assessment on the eve of the seventh grade to determine your qualifications." Ye Zhixiao said .

"I know this, so what?"

"It's the actual combat assessment. There seems to be some problems."

"……what?"

"The original plan was to go out within two months to conduct an overall assessment of the students' abilities in all aspects. Although it was said to be a direct battle with the virtual beast, because of the protection of the accompanying teacher, and the selected location is generally passed It is a safe area that has been carpeted and cleaned, so there have been no problems... However, just a few days ago, when the assessment was about to end, the school seemed to have suddenly lost contact with the student team."

What I said a few days ago... So, I remember that Triss at that time also seemed to say that she had received some emergency summons. Could it be related to this matter?Moreover, I haven't seen her peeping figure again in the past few days. If I didn't change my mind after saying a few words, then something must have happened that I can't get out of.

"Has the school issued a statement?"

"No, no, it's just that when I was browsing the forum, I saw some bad rumors. The academy seems to have sent an advance search team, but so far there has been no response. If this continues, I'm afraid they will send a second , The third batch of search teams... I hope nothing will happen." Ye Zhixiao said with a little worry.

"..." Although I have an ominous premonition in my heart, since it's not about the fourth witch, it's not my turn to act, especially in the current situation where the serious injury has not healed Under the circumstances, random interference may lead to bad things. Here, I still believe that the school can make accurate judgments.

"It's such an uneven world..." I muttered, turning over casually.

"Didi Didi!" At this moment, a message from someone suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. The sender was a person I was quite familiar with but hadn't had much contact with in the past month or so. :

Lie.

Because of the privacy of the topic, Liye and I did not choose to communicate directly in Eden.com, but adopted an offline method and chose a coffee shop in the school.

After tidying up briefly, I left the dormitory. The cloud above my head was much denser than before, and it must be raining in the near future. If it wasn't for the necessary things, I really wanted to be alone in this weather Get into the bed and sleep soundly.

Before the appointed time came, through the glass of the coffee shop, I saw Li Ye who was already waiting by the window on the second floor, holding the communicator anxiously.Compared with her when she first came here, the current Liye is obviously much cleaner, but her face is also paler than I have ever seen before.I'm afraid, something really happened that made her panic like this.

"Welcome. Is it a guest?" The maid sitting in front of the stage asked with a lazy look, probably also considering that there might not be many guests at all in this weather.

"No, it's a reserved seat."

"Okay, please come this way." After the maid pointed out the direction to me, she resumed her work.

Chapter 160 Search

"Sorry, I kept you waiting." I tried to greet Liye first, but she hugged me directly without saying a word, and hugged me tightly.

"Hey? Hey? Hey! Wait, wait a minute, even if it's true that we haven't seen each other for a month, it doesn't matter..." I was stunned for a moment, and just when I thought there was some romance unfolding, I found Li Ye His body seemed to be trembling slightly, "...In short, calm down first, if there is anything, just tell me slowly."

Under the comfort of my words, Li Ye finally calmed down gradually.She wiped away her tears and explained to me intermittently what had happened.

"I see, is it really related to the collective loss of contact?" I hugged the coffee cup with both hands, carefully blew off the hot air, and bleated lightly.In this way, I seem to have heard that Liye's sister is also conducting the actual combat assessment, but I didn't immediately connect the two reactions together.

"...Sorry, I was a little out of control just now." At this time, Li Ye had completely calmed down. Although her eye circles were still red, at least her voice was no longer trembling. , I completely panicked, and subconsciously thought of you... If it was Luo Tianchen, there must be some way to save her, right?"

"I said, don't you think I'm too omnipotent?" I sighed and said, "Generally speaking, shouldn't this kind of matter be given priority to the school? No matter how you say it, they won't Let so many students go missing, even if one person wants to do something, it will only increase the difficulty of rescue. Besides, it is not completely sure that they are in trouble, right? Maybe they just entered some no-signal area and cannot Like the connection to the outside world, it may be fine in a few days. What you should do now is to go back and rest, and then wait for the news."

"...I understand, I understand, but it really doesn't work at all. Since I heard the news a few days ago, I have been waiting and waiting. Until today, I can't stand it anymore." Liye Covering her face with her hands, she said in a pleading voice, "Please, you are the only one I know who can help me. Please, as long as I can save Ren, I will do anything .”

"……I see."

"Hey?"

"I will find a way, but you have to promise me that you will stay in school absolutely and honestly, and don't think about doing strange things alone, understand?" I said seriously.

"……Is it really possible?"

"Ah, after all, you can't just leave it alone like this. Since you have come to ask me, you must absolutely believe that I can solve this matter. Before I ask you to do something, you are absolutely not allowed to do whatever you want. Do something else, otherwise I'm not sure what will happen."

"I promise! I will never do anything! So, please, bring Lian back!"

...and it turned out like this in the end.

Really, what am I thinking, I just need to leave it to the school, I finally got a chance to take a vacation, but I got into trouble again.

...However, as long as it is a man, seeing her broken expression, it is impossible to refuse, right?

"Anyway, that's it. I've been counting on you for a long time, Ling." I said softly to the little figure that exhaled.After responding to my call, Ling nodded and turned into a ball of white light again, blending into the computer in front of him.

The location I am at right now is the first floor of the largest library in Qianyu Academy.Because of the heavy rain outside the house and the existence of Eden Network, this physical library is empty today, which is convenient for me to search for some materials.After using some means to divert the monitoring, I used the port of the Lingcong library to directly hack into the academy's database.

"Let me see, the final communication report on October 10...is it already a week ago?" Using the ability of the spirit, I easily found the report on the actual combat test of the seventh grade, and then found the last report in it. a record.Before that, the frequency of one or even several reports a day was almost maintained, but since October 7th, they have completely lost contact.It seems that those rumors on the forum are really not groundless.

I directly clicked on the report on October 10th to view the details. The content of the report was very peaceful, which roughly explained that the end of the test was coming soon. After that, all contact stopped abruptly.

I looked through the reports from the previous few days, and the content was roughly the same. It used Qianyu Academy's unique encryption technology to describe the situation among the students in detail.

Sure enough, can't find any problems from the simple report?In other words, the collective loss of contact of the seventh graders this time was just a sudden accident?However, what kind of accident would cause a team of nearly a hundred dragon knights to completely lose contact?

"...find information about Lian."

After a while, a photo of a girl who looked very similar to Li Ye appeared on my screen. Unlike my sister, my sister's personality seemed to be more reserved. Although her grades in the school were not top-notch, she was At least she has a level hovering in the middle and upper reaches. It is also written in her personal file that she passed the special assessment four years ago, was inserted into the third grade at that time, and then rose to the current seventh grade. I told Liye about this It makes no difference.

... No, I still can't see any clues, why don't I go to Jindaihua to ask?After all, she is also the student council president of this academy, and she is also a seventh-year student, so she might know something inside.Or else, Triss should be fine too.But, would they really tell such a first-year student the information so easily?As long as a normal person thinks normally, it is impossible to think of relying on a child instead of the academy.If possible, I also want to let go of it like this, and lie comfortably in the warm bed to sleep and read the news, but who made me be begged by Liye like that?

I lay back on the armchair and turned my head to look out the window. The fine raindrops seemed to have covered the building and the earth with a layer of white gauze, beating trivial drums.This kind of weather really doesn't make people feel like going out at all.

……weather?

Chapter 160 Decryption

I immediately sat up and read the previous report again.

Sure enough, it was not my illusion. In the middle of these reports, at the end of a random paragraph, there were sentences like "today's weather is XX".

Why should it be added in the middle of the article?According to the general format of writing reports, shouldn't it be written at the beginning and the date at the same time?And the weather reports came after the initial month.

Could it be that I forgot to add the weather before and added it again later?It sounds too unbelievable. Instead of thinking so, I might as well believe that there are other mysteries hidden in it.

...No, I can't make a judgment so quickly.After rummaging through some previous actual combat tests, I also found out about this actual combat test, which was actually divided into upper and lower parts.The first part of the actual combat test will be conducted in the dangerous area of ​​the Qianyu galaxy, that is, the place where there are no cities where the beasts gather, while the second part of the test location is completely confidential. In order to leak out and cause trouble, often only the examiner knows the specific location .Maybe it is because the weather is recorded after arriving in a new area, or maybe it is.
