Chapter 202: Chapter 202
Back at Sylphid Academy, a group of soldiers could be seen cleaning the corpses of the monstrous creatures around the academy. The armoured woman wiped the sweat out of her face, “Phew”, she sighed. Then, she looked at her fellow comrade that survived the assault from the horde of monstrous creatures last night with pride, “Are we done with the cleaning up?” the armoured woman asked. The blue-haired female soldier nodded, “Yes, ma’am. After we piled these monsters’ corpses up and burned them, we are done.” The armoured woman nodded, “Good. After this, we’re going to rest up at the academy”, she informed.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the armoured woman took a shower, and when she was about to wear her casual clothes, someone was knocking on her door. “What is it?” the armoured woman asked. “Principal Helga is asking for you, commander”, replied the man behind the door. The armoured woman furrowed her eyebrows, “Tell Principal Helga I’ll be coming soon”, she said. “Yes, ma’am!” the man behind the door saluted before leaving. The armoured woman wore her signature armour; strapping her shield on her back and her sword on her waist, she opened the door.
Right after that, the armoured woman walked towards principal Helga’s office. On the way, she was greeted with thankful gestures and respect by the academy staff, the students and the adventurers. The armoured woman only waved her hands and smiled slightly whenever someone greeted her. As the armoured woman was closing in on principal Helga’s office, the latter spoke in her mind, “Come in”, Principal Helga softly massaged. “What is it?” the armoured woman asked while closing the office’s door. “Catch”, Principal Helga threw a green amulet towards the armoured woman.
“What is it?” the armoured woman observed the green amulet in her hand. “A magical device”, Principal Helga said mischievously. “I know it is a magical device. I can feel the mana inside the amulet. But what is it for?” the armoured woman rolled her eyes. Principal Helga smiled slightly, “I think it is about time we send a reinforcement to the bunker.” Right after Principal Helga said that, the armoured woman’s expression turned serious, “What do you have in mind?” Principal Helga crossed her arms; she lowered her head before sighing, “Before I tell you my plan, are you prepared to lay down your life?”
The armoured woman nodded without hesitation, “Of course. I am prepared the moment I take up my sword.” Principal Helga smiled, “Good. Here is what we’re going to do” she snapped her fingers. Suddenly, the armoured woman and Principal Helga were transported somewhere unknown. “Where is this place?” the armoured woman furrowed her eyebrows. “A place where I will be training you to be at least adequate”, Principal Helga’s lips curled up into a wide smile.

Not only to the armoured woman, but Principal Helga also did this to the blue-haired female soldier and Sydney, Eru’s self-proclaimed apprentice. Principal Helga used clone magic to appear before the blue-haired female soldier, the armoured woman and Sydney, and she also used space magic to send each of those people into three separated spaces, training the three of them individually. While her clones were training the trio, Principal Helga’s main body was standing on top of Sylphid Academy’s roof while sipping a cup of hot tea. “I hope I can make it in time. Please be safe, Fate Master”, she murmured while a gust of wind blew past her.

“Tch”, Eru clicked his tongue while his arms were trembling, holding his black sword tight; Eru struggled to swing his sword forwards towards the red-haired woman. “What’s wrong? Is this all you have got?” the red-haired woman smiled while blocking Eru’s black sword with her bare hand. “Heh, you underestimate me”, Eru snorted. Then, Eru’s aura rose continuously, “How about this!” Eru shouted before sending a roundhouse kick at the red-haired woman’s torso. However, before Eru’s kick landed, Meng Huo already leapt towards them and blocked Eru’s kick.
“Damn it!” Eru cursed, “Not fast enough”, Eru grumbled before flying backwards, creating distance between him, Meng Huo and the red-haired woman. Meng Huo landed on the ground while the red-haired woman clicked her tongue, “Can you do your job better, Meng Huo?” she shook her head. “Release this binding technique on me, and I’ll show you better”, Meng Huo growled towards the red-haired woman with a massive amount of hatred in his eyes. “Heh”, the red-haired woman smirked, “Fine, I’ll help you.” Right after saying that, the red-haired woman snapped her fingers.
Then, mana began to surge towards Meng Huo, making him scream in pain. “W-what the hell did you do, Zhu Rong!” Meng Huo roared with pain. “Just shut up and endure”, the red-haired woman floated forward. “While my pet is transforming, why don’t I keep you busy for a while?” the red-haired woman taunted Eru with her index finger. “I’ll finish you off before that happen” Eru flapped his raven-coloured wings, dashing towards the red-haired woman with his black sword held sideways. Eru continuously attacked the red-haired woman, but the latter could easily dodge Eru’s attack. “You’re strong”, the red-haired woman stated, “But not good enough”, she said while chambering a counterattack.
“Is that so? Then, how about this!” Eru shouted, swinging down his black sword towards the red-haired woman. The latter swayed her body slightly to the side, barely avoiding Eru’s attack. The red-haired woman was about to punch Eru when suddenly, Eru let go of his black sword. After that, Eru shoulder-barged the red-haired woman in the air before grabbing her by the head. “How about some martial arts goodness for a change” Eru quipped before kneeing the red-haired woman straight at her face. Then, using the momentum from his knee, Eru flipped forward, throwing the red-haired woman towards a pile of rubble below.
Right after that, Eru willed his black sword to appear in his hand. “Aura Blade barrage!” he shouted. Eru sent multiple aura blades towards where the red-haired woman fell. Eru stopped when his attacks caused a thick smoke around where the red-haired woman fell. The red-haired woman burst out from the pile of rubble, “That hurts, you bastard!” she roared. “Thank you, I aim to please”, Eru said before throwing his black sword towards the red-haired woman, “Now, please die for me.” The red-haired woman erected some sort of protective barrier in front of her, making Eru’s black sword bounce off from its trajectory.
But, Eru’s black sword was not the only thing that was after the red-haired woman. Eru followed closely behind his black sword. Eru punched out, his fist crashing against the red-haired woman’s protective barrier. The red-haired woman screamed; her protective barrier in front of her broke while its shockwave propelled Eru backwards. Eru flipped in the air, “I take back what I said” the red-haired woman walked closer to Eru, “You are good enough. I’ll face you properly this time.”

“Urgh”, Long groaned, “Where am I?” he woke up groggily. Long slowly get up on his feet, finding a yellow oval-like sphere right in front of him. Then, Long looked upwards, he found that Eru was fighting ferociously against a red-haired woman. “Brother Eru!” Long exclaimed as a red-coloured protective membrane made of his mana appeared once again around Long. He flapped his wings, using his iconic red staff; Long brandished it towards the red-haired woman. “Long!” Eru exclaimed happily while dodging the red-haired woman’s kick. The red-haired woman manoeuvred in the air to dodge Long’s staff before she used both of her feet to kick Long away.
Long managed to stabilize himself in the air while Eru continued to fend off the red-haired woman’s frenzied attacks. “You’re not the only one with a partner”, the red-haired woman snapped her fingers after dashing backwards in the air slightly. After she did that, the yellow oval sphere in the ground cracked, revealing Meng Huo with a pair of large yellow wings. “Zhu Rong!” Meng Huo growled. “Attack the red one. The black one’s mine!” the red-haired woman ordered. Meng Huo initially struggled to resist her order, but after a while, his body moved on its own.
Long glared at Meng Huo in anger, “You!” he growled. “Try not to kill him if you can, Long”, Eru said, “This red-haired woman is the mastermind behind all this. Try to keep him occupied for the time being.” Long furrowed his eyebrows. Before he managed to reply, however, Meng Huo was already before him, ready to attack. Meng Huo threw a fist towards Long, which the latter managed to catch. “I’m sorry, young man. Please stop me if you can”, Meng Huo pleaded. Long frowned; he felt complicated right at this moment. But, Long did not let his feeling get in the way as he swallowed his anger before grabbing Meng Huo and flinging him backwards.
The red-haired woman glared at Eru with a small grin on her face, “It’s just you and me, now, raven kid. I’ll be sure to take my time enjoying you”, she licked her lips. “Fucking pervert”, Eru cursed.
