Chapter 526 Iris's Determination
Early the next morning.
Servant Base.
Including Alpha, the twelve little ones all got up early.
After breakfast.
They appeared in the training ground.
Xenovia acted as their teacher, beginning their basic swordsmanship training.
Although they had all successfully transformed into Devils, already extraordinary in speed and strength alone...
But.
If they encountered an enemy of the same level...
Technique was essential.
"King, here you go."
Just then, Erica walked over. "This is the magic sword knowledge I've collected."
"It should satisfy you."
"Mm."
Ayato brought over a chair, sat down to watch everyone train, and began casually flipping through these books.
[Origin: 3001]
[Origin: 3085]
[Origin: 3089]
Looking at the continuously appearing text, a light flickered in Ayato's eyes.
"This magic swordsman training method... does have some merits."
The techniques of this world were negligible in his eyes.
Not to mention compared to him...
Even the swordsmanship of the martial arts world had no advantage.
But many of the moves were indeed ingenious.
Time passed.
Book after book was finished by Ayato.
Just as he picked up the last book...
Utaha pounced, hanging entirely on Ayato.
"Master, someone else has entered the barrier's range."
"More knights here to investigate Alexia? Just knock them out and throw them out. No need to ask me anymore."
"No, this time it's a little girl. She looks very similar to Alexia. It should be her sister."
"Oh?"
Ayato put down his book, a smile playing on his lips.
Since you're here...
Don't leave.
"Are these people... all training?"
Iris, led by Utaha into the training ground, was slightly dazed.
These girls were all about her age.
But.
Watching the figures leaving afterimages in the air... her eyelids twitched.
What were these people?
Their swordsmanship was beginner level.
But their strength and speed... were frightening.
Far surpassing the bounds of normal people.
Instinctively.
She thought of her sister, and her eyes immediately lit up.
Case closed.
If this was the case...
Master of this place probably did have great skill.
If so...
Could she become like these girls too?
As the kingdom's number one genius...
Although she was happy to be surpassed by her sister...
Saying she didn't care would definitely be a lie.
Hmph.
Since Alexia could do it, there was no reason she couldn't.
As she thought this...
A man with black, slightly messy hair and crimson eyes sitting in a chair came into view.
"What, do you need something from me?"
Ayato crossed his legs and said with a faint smile. "Those knights from the past few days... they were your men, right?"
"I apologize. This was for Alexia's safety."
Iris bowed gracefully and said, "If I have been rude..."
"Please accept my apology."
"Don't worry. I know they meant no harm."
Ayato waved his hand. "Otherwise, do you think they'd just be knocked unconscious?"
Iris's expression turned serious. "Thank you for your mercy."
"May I ask your name?"
"Mori Ayato."
Iris nodded and said softly, "Mr. Ayato, though it may be presumptuous..."
"Could you tell me your true origins?"
As she said this, Iris's gaze became extremely sharp.
"What, you still suspect I mean your sister harm?"
Ayato said teasingly.
Iris was silent for a moment, then replied, "I have no choice. As a royal, I must be careful in everything."
"Because whether it's you or the women around you... I haven't been able to find any information on any of you."
Although she couldn't enter here...
When Utaha and the others went out, she had been able to collect some information.
"Since you're suspicious, you still dared to come alone?"
"I made my own preparations."
Iris said confidently. "The surrounding area is surrounded by the Kingdom's Knight Order."
"If they don't receive my signal, they will storm in."
"But even so, it's still dangerous, isn't it?"
Ayato smiled faintly. "After all, you're here yourself."
"Since this is a presumptuous act, my presence here is also a sign of sincerity."
Hearing this, Erica and the others glanced at her with some surprise.
At this age...
To have such resolve...
Was indeed rare.
No wonder she was called the kingdom's number one genius.
The rumors were indeed true.
