Chapter 2 - Ene
Delbone's power of Psychokinesis could discover almost any nearby filth monsters one week before the city came across their paths However, this time the filth monsters had an excellent ability to search out their ene power?” Cauntia squinted happily as she stood on the edge of Grendan Her waist-long white hair fluttered in the strong wind She wore the long coat that only a Heaven's Blade Successor was given The coat covered her body and cut her off froht, allowing her to move freely in it As such, the coat fully revealed her delicate body Her waist was high and her arrand” could be used to describe this body She held a large weapon that had a long and thick handle and a wide and big blade The head of a dragon decorated the place connecting the blade and the handle, as if the blade was about to shoot flaon Crescent Moon Sabre, this was her weapon It was a huge weapon with an i the blade
”Aren't you excited for this?” she turned around, her red painted lips revealing the joy in her A scar froh her beautiful face She sirl
”Your presence is too heavy”
Unlike Cauntia, a calaze That person stood alone and he was only half as tall as Cauntia However, his head, eyes, s were short, giving off a feeling of a large kid His skin was smooth and his face was round like a sticky rice cake
”What is it, Reverse? You're as down as ever”
”This is war Of course s are heavy”
Cauntia put her hands on her hips and sighed at his timid attitude ”We can never come to a consensus at this point Why can't you listen to ree to my opinion”
Silence
”Ihed, Reverse smiled without hesitation
”But, don't worry I'll protect you,” he said in a save hi and put her lips on his reddened cheek
”Then let's observe today's prey,” she said as if speaking to her love
Both were Heaven's Blade Successors put in the sa their vision to confir that was the size of a lion was closing in on Grendan fros”
”It looks quite old”
The things on the lion's back had become two small hills This filth ive up its wings since flying took up lots of strength
”It's worth hunting down,” Cauntia said, licking her lips
Reverse's shoulders shook ”It looks powerful, and it looks hard”
”I don't mean that How far can we cut it down? Hohoho, this feels like usual, but different froiving it the last push, this is soAnyway, this is just a job”
”I was tense at first too”
The filththe distance with shocking speed The feeling of distance cruet rid of it with our usual coave a stiff nod The two of the stances Cauntia confir Reverse's heln of his coat differed from hers Plates of alloys covered several parts of the coat The coat and the helmet made him look like a metallic doll Even Military Artists would find it hard to h speed was the best strategy Reverse's equipainst filth ht equipment seemed more suitable However, the female Heaven's Blade's equipment wasn't the best at defense The destruction of the surroundings during a fight could cause scattering stones and rocks to tear apart the coat Pollutants would enter the body once the protective coat was daically, would bring down movement speed And a Military Artist whose movements slowed doould face death Either he died by the filth monster's hand, or he died on the way back to the city, his body eaten up by pollutants
However, Reverse and Cauntia were Reverse and Cauntia That hy they were given perear He focused on defense and she focused on the offensive These equipments were specially made to cater to their combination
”Don't worry, I'll always protect you”
They gazed at each other Cauntia smiled a bitter smile
”Thanks I can do my best because you're here”
”Same here”
Their interaction showed they knew each other very well This was a special co Heaven's Blades The two of them walked their own paths but were able to perfectly cater to each other
”Then let's begin the hunt”
”Come”
They entered the battlefield Just the two of them, as before

Why am I
Felli felt her present situation was unreasonable Why did her stomach hurt so much?
It had been one week since that event Layfon was unhappy for the whole week He and Leerin had a huge fight after he refused to accept the box It was shocking at first Felli and Nina never thought Leerin, as gently persuading hih By the time Nina and Felli caht There was no room for the that they shouldn't be there, and then they watched Leerin run away in anger
So Nina ran after Leerin and Felli ran after Layfon That couldn't be helped, since they lived in different areas
Layfon waited for her, and they walked to the next tram station in silence She felt that she had to stand by his side, and she wanted that too, but this tierous journey to come to Zuellni Perhaps all the students here would criticize Layfon for this, since everyone had once sat on the s attacked anytime by filth monsters
But that wasn't the problem All students came here for themselves, no matter how different their purposes were Leerin was different She caratitude
Felli's feelings leaned towards Leerin, and she didn't feel unhappy with that Layfon was in the wrong, and what Leerin said was right In that case, she had to do so about this Leerin wanted Felli and Nina to listen too so they could judge the situation As a normal person, she wanted Military Artists, such as Felli and Nina, to be the judge in this matter The two of them knew Layfon as fellow Military Artists
Felli felt Leerin was right
”This isn't Grendan!” Leerin had confirht
Felli thought she was right but Layfon didn't want to hear it He kept saying this was his punishment, so he couldn't accept it
Leerin was here so as to allow hi first,” he said and closed the door of the training roohed as they heard his footsteps retreat further away
Ahhh, her stomach hurt She put her hand on her stoed,” Harley said, tired
Sharnid had already left At first, everyone orried, but now they felt tired of the situation
”I never thought he could get ht it's his punishment Since she's nailed hihed ”Coth Geez, unbelievable”
”But I don't think he'll become so much more powerful if he uses a Katana,” Harley responded He pointed at the terminal which showed the data of Layfon's three Dites: Sapphire Dite, shi+et hisa weapon There shouldn't be much difference just from the qualities of the sword and a Katana”
”What do you mean?” Nina asked
”Of course, a Katana's cut path is more prominent but we can't say a sword can't cut as well as a Katana, since technology is i,” he showed the cut path on the screen ”But Layfon isa Katana That's Kirik's opinion Hisa Katana, he can es to the shi+m Adamantium Dite would be less than to the sword, and that's probably the same for his body”
”Um”
Nina's expression turned heavy at what Harley said: the burden on the body
”But I heard that he beca the Katana at that ti a sword?” Dalshena said
”Perhaps,” Harley said ”I' from the viewpoint of a technician, a Katana suits him better He wouldn't have to force himself and shoulder any additional burden The data here proves it,” he pressed a key on the keyboard
Sword and Katana Felli didn't know the difference between them As a Psychokinesist, it was natural to use the staff Dite She had no other choice Even so, the difference in the shape of the flakes could affect the conductivity of Psychokinesis and the h she wasn't too keen in the fights, she often requested adjustments for the Dite so she could use the weapon freely
”He doesn't seem to care much about the adjustments of the Dite I don't h He re”
”Is that so?” Nina said, surprised
”Yes, as expected, he's only like this when it comes to the sword He doesn't care much about the Dite that wouldso many Military Artists”
”Um”
Felli cocked her head at Nina's unusualto coitation
Harley gave her a bitter s after your Dite”
◇
”Harley, do you like the Captain?” Felli asked, holding a h-pitched voice
Felli was in charge of cleaning today After vacuu the floor She asked Harley the question as she felt so while tidying the equipment
The two of them were alone
”You, what did you say?”
The equipment fell everywhere Harley looked at her in shock as if he was about to fall too
”I felt it from the conversation”
”Aaa I suppose,” he admitted
His unexpectedly honest admission surprised her
”Ah, but that was in the past It doesn'tnow”
”Is that so?”
”She was irls that I kne she's got short hair, but her hair was long back then And she was dressed like a lady None of the girls back then could catch up to her You can say that wasthe charm of a wo the explanation and hiding so now?”
”Yes I can't feel from her what I felt before We're just childhood friends”
”Really”
”Perhaps not Either e've been together for a long tiot used to her because of the long time, or you can say that I don't want to see her other side”
”Then”
”I don't want to treat her fro a lover But I don't despise Nina because she's fe what he said This hat childhood friends were like
”Though I don't knohat others think, Nina is like that I' of Nina acting all lady-like in front of her boyfriend”
” Meaning you aren't gonna improve your relationshi+p with her?”
”That's the way it is with a boy-girl relationshi+p As a friend, Military Artist or Dite technician, that relationshi+p doesn'tspecial for Harley, or did it apply to all childhood friends? Felli didn't understand since she didn't have one
”Not good enough for research purposes”
Nina and Harley, Layfon and Leerin They were all childhood friends with each other but weren't their personalities different? Felli didn't knohat Layfon thought of it, but she knew Leerin wanted to have a relationshi+p that went beyond that of childhood friends Otherwise, she wouldn't have come all the way to Zuellni And Felli felt that she herself had lost on that single point
If it was herself, she wouldn't have done it Would she have taken on a dangerous journey for the sake of another person? She probably wouldn't have chased after him She would have stayed home and prayed for his safe return
She had lost to Leerin just by thinking like that even though she didn't want to adh she didn't want to adh,” she said to herself as she headed home alone
She couldn't leave the , but what? Should she help alleviate that stiffness between theoal She had to do so to resolve Leerin's proble that bothered her
”Ah, yes There ht be one s of the Dite,” Harley said, embarrassed by the conversation about Nina and so said so else to divert her
”What?”
”Layfon tried the Katana in here and destroyed it It wasn't a good Dite since I ation on the Dite showed Layfon had used too much Kei compared to usual I think he couldn't control it because he was using Karen Kei”
She didn't understand what hethe usual Layfon pays attention to the level of Kei he uses It's not just the sword or the Katana He isn't used to the material that made the Dite, so the Adamantiuht to himself that Layfon's results had fueled the research students' enthusias new materials Layfon was such a monster And that had added a few more questions about the Heaven's Blade that a Heaven's Blade Successor used
”Really, what should I do?” Felli sighed deeply
Soetables being chopped in the kitchen gave Nina a hard ti dinner She had taken charge of the kitchen since she e of the dormitory, had then reduced Leerin's rent
Anyway, Leerin was now alone in the kitchen Though Nina wanted to say soirl for now She paced near the door She didn't feel that Leerin rong, but she understood Layfon at the same time
Layfon refused to use the Katana so he wouldn't taint his adopted father's skills He hadn't once abandoned that decision since he was exiled from Grendan But Leerin caiven hinored
Layfon was unbelievable He grew up under terrible circuth that Nina didn't have And he fought with reasons that she didn't agree with The pain he endured didn't cohts with filtha Heaven's Blade Successor That pain cae What did he feel when he was exposed to face everyone's reproach? Was he disappointed that they didn't understand hiry? And what did Leerin think?
”What're you doing?”
Leerin had already prepared everything Her speed in cooking even surprised Selina
”Ah, no Well”
”Still thinking of that?” she said with a stiff expression She was forcing herself to smile
”Um”
”What should I do with hier and frustration pierced Leerin's words
”I think he has his reasons”
”I know that”
Nina helped her lay out the eating utensils Leu was in her own rooot her meals Selina had written on the board that she'd return late, so they prepared three sets of utensils tonight Nina placed the large bowl of salad in theout another dish Leerin reheated the bread she , put it in a basket and took the basket to the table
”But Layfon”
”Leerin?”
Leerin swayed and fell to the side Nina let go of the wok to support her The wok fell onto the floor and the basket of bread rolled off the table
”Leerin?”
It felt like she had lost all her strength Blood had drained from her face, so white a face that it looked as if she was about to die She panted
”Leerin?” Nina shouted
Leaving the kitchen to Leu, Nina took Leerin to the hospital Looking at the other girl, sleeping with a drip in her ar Nina to run out of the hospital
Layfon needed a stronger power
