Chapter 185: Freya: Into Battlefield Chaos
Freya’s POV:
I, Freya von Flamemore, have been undergoing intensive training in preparation for deployment to Division Two, led by none other than Cain von Flamemore. I’m not going alone—Leopold will be joining me as well. Both of us have been selected as lieutenants, and soon, we’ll be heading to the front lines to fight against the invading forces of the Doomspire Demons.
I’ve been pushing myself to the limit, determined to control the Phoenix’s Fire, the incredible power that now resides within me. Despite having trained relentlessly for over a month, I still haven’t fully mastered it. The truth is, to truly awaken my full potential, I’ll need real combat experience—on the battlefield, not just within training grounds.
Morning, noon, and night, I’ve poured everything I have into my training. I’m driven by a deep desire to become strong—strong enough to stand beside Naoki-dono, to fight with him as his equal.
Sometimes, during a break in my training, I find myself daydreaming about him—Naoki-dono. He’s so handsome, cool, courageous... and incredibly kind. Sure, he flirts a little too much and likes to tease, but I’ve grown fond of that side of him. It always makes me laugh, even when I’m exhausted from training.
And then, there’s that moment I’ll never forget...The last time we trained together...I kissed him.
Even now, I still get embarrassed thinking about it. Why did I do something so bold?!But at that time, I was overwhelmed by my feelings—I couldn’t hold them back any longer.Thankfully, Naoki-dono didn’t take it badly. He didn’t push me away.
He may still be unsure about how he truly feels, but... I’m happy just being close to him.Next time we meet, I’ll show him just how much I’ve grown.
After more than a month of intense training, Leopold and I were finally assigned to Division Two. Without delay, we were dispatched to the battlefield to join Cain-sama’s unit.
Normally, fresh graduates from the Braveheart Knight Academy would need several more months of training before they could join Division Two, let alone participate in real combat. But the situation on the battlefield has deteriorated rapidly. The kingdom is desperate for reinforcements—we are needed now.
I can’t help but worry about the rest of our classmates. I hope they’re safe wherever they are.
