The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 97 Training and Accident

The selection battle is over, and Pojun Academy has finally decided on the representatives to participate in the Seven Stars Sword Fighting Festival.

Popular candidates such as Toudou Touka and Usamaru Renren were not selected, which many people did not expect at first.

The official contestants are Ciel, Stella, Kuroyuki Ikki, Arisuin Nagi and Takahara Kanata, the only remaining member of the student council cadre. And the last one is a girl named Hagure Kikyo.

That girl and her twin sister Ye Mu Mudan were lucky enough to reach the final round without encountering any strong opponents in the selection battle.

Unfortunately, Ye Mu Peony's good luck ran out, and she met Charles in the last round. The poor girl was defeated by Charles in three seconds.

After the game, Pojun Academy officially held an appointment ceremony. Under the watchful eyes of all the students, Toka Todou handed the flag representing Pojun Academy to Kurogane Ikki.

The reason why the appointment ceremony was reported only a week later was purely because during the battle with Todoka Toka, Kurogete Ikki was already seriously ill and used random moves like Itto Rakshasa.

Even with the regeneration chamber, it took a full week to fully heal the body.

In addition, this annoying guy Akaza Mamoru has completely disappeared from everyone's eyes.

After the game, he wanted to continue attacking Ikki Kurogane, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Then he was hit by Shinguji Kurono's sword-cutting skill, and he was exiled to an unknown place.

But judging from Shinguji Kurono's appearance, I guess I won't see Akaza Mamoru in the future.

After the appointment ceremony, it was already late July, which happened to be the time for summer vacation.

However, for everyone who has passed the selection competition, this holiday cannot be relaxed at all. Because the Seven Star Sword Festival starts in mid-August, it can be said that it is imminent.

According to the practice of the island country, players will undergo intensive training before such a large-scale event.

The instructor of the training camp is sometimes even an official magic knight of the "KOK" league, which is a good opportunity for players to increase their strength.

In previous years, players from Pogun Academy would go to Okutama's training ground to stay together. But this year, there was an attack by an unknown puppet master in Okutama. So this year, Shinguji Kurono asked Jumon Academy to train together.

In addition to the six contestants from Pojun Academy, the student council officers will go with them as coordinators and sparring partners. There will also be Shizuku Kurogane, because she is a water magician, and will provide medical support along with her.

The person in charge of coaching this training session turned out to be the God of War Nango Torajiro. Seeing that old man, everyone was surprised and happy!

Nango Torajiro was more than capable of instructing these student knights, but Charles took Stella to the barren mountains deeper into the training ground.

The battle between Kuroyuki Ikki and Todo Touka touched many people, and Stella was one of them.

Stella understood that each of those two people was stronger than herself. If she faced these two people, she would have no hope of victory.

Ordinary training sessions are of little use to her, and if she wants to become stronger in such a short period of time, she must awaken her true power.

So, Charles and Stella began special training.

The reason why Stella has never been able to awaken her power is that she has never recognized the nature of her power.

On the other hand, it is also because her power is too strong, so in order to protect herself, she subconsciously sealed it.

Ciel also learned about Stella's experience. She was burned by a powerful flame when she first awakened her power, and was considered unfit to become a swordsman.

But she did not give up, and relied on hard training to control her power, and this is how she became the Red Lotus Princess.

But even in that process, her true power was sealed. Even after training, she was able to fully withstand that power, but the seal in her subconscious was not so easy to lift.

There is no other way to break this seal! The only way is to exert strong oppression, even a life and death crisis, and only then can the seal be lifted with the help of survival instinct.

Farr regained his figure of more than ten meters, and his fiery breath spurted out towards Stella.

The ground began to crystallize under the high temperature. This is the power of Salamanda, the elemental spirit of fire, the root of the world.

Stella dodged Far's breath, jumped up and rushed towards Far in mid-air.

Farr's tail whipped around and knocked Stella away. Stella hit the mountain wall hard and shattered the hill.

Ciel just watched but did not take any action. After all, he was the one who sent Farr.

Charles asked Stella why she was so determined to become stronger.

Previously, Stella's answer was that she did not want to disappoint the people who were looking forward to her. But later, Stella gave another answer.

A girl wants to stand proudly beside her lover, not as a protected person, but to become his strength and a more indispensable existence.

Stella's consciousness was so firm that Ciel could not refuse her desire to become stronger. Therefore, Ciel would not order Farr to stop before she took the initiative to speak.

But will the girl give up easily? Charles doesn’t think Stella will do that.

Ten days passed by in a blink of an eye. During these ten days, Stella would practice until her physical strength was completely exhausted. She had to be carried back to the dormitory by Charles every day.

The other players have no idea what kind of practice the two are doing.

Kagami and fellow reporters from other schools once wanted to go to the valley where the two practiced to collect information, but in the end they returned without success.

According to Kagami, when the two were practicing, the valley was like hell and impossible to get close to.

And when the two of them finished their day's practice, all they could see was a mess that looked like it had been ravaged by a natural disaster.

The training of the two continued until the end of the ten-day training. Stella's power was indeed awakened, but she was unable to master the violent power.

So her practice would continue, and the two decided to stay here for a while. Shinguji Kurono naturally supported her wholeheartedly. Anyway, they were just borrowing this barren mountain, so there would be no other problems.

The two wanted to keep practicing, but an accident disrupted their plan.

On the day that Kuroyuki Ikki and others returned to Pogun Academy, everyone had boarded the train in the morning, but Ciel sensed someone's anger in the warehouse where the lime used for the painting site was stacked.

Violently breaking the lock of the warehouse, Ciel found Kagami tied up inside.

After the strip of cloth on Kagami's mouth was taken off, the first thing she said was: "Ciel-san, go back to Pojun Academy quickly, Alice has a problem! They are going to attack the academy!"

Ciel's pupils shrank, he had already noticed that there was something wrong with Arisuin Nagi! However, he never showed any ill intentions to everyone, but he didn't expect that there was a problem here.

"We'll talk about the details later when we have time! I'll rush back to the academy right away! Stella, please take care of Kagami first."

With that said, Ciel walked out of the warehouse, spreading his wings of flame and soaring into the sky behind him.

"Alice, don't do anything stupid!" Charles said as his body passed through the clouds.
