Vol 25 Chapter 3 (2/2)

What should she say Even her reply was very much like her

”I'll lose theof which, I'll use a Psychokinesis lightning attack before things turn into that, so I won't go in the water h That's certainly true”

This place was in front of the pool fro their conversation as they changed cloths Felli used clever words to whittle away at Nina's 'whatever, let's go!' h rational conversation

”Right, so I don't think there's any need for me to force myself to learn to swi those lines Co classes were optional even for in the Military Arts Department The reason was because while the world before the autonoht have had aquatic or underwater battles, now they only fought battles inside the ion a short distance away, so aquatic battles were unrealistic Because of that, swi was an extremely optional technique, and even Military Artists didn't need to force the classes in the school had beco at all

Felli thought

”Oh, Felli-chan? Are you perhaps scared of water?”

She suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind her

”Why are you here too?”

She turned around Sharnid had shown up there

”That's my line”

Sharnid smiled as he looked at Felli and Nina

”We're alet used to the water”

After they entered sueneral public to use, so students anted to have fun in the water or play water sports would all gather there

Sharnid probably planned on doing so too

”I wish you could show such a diligent attitude during training too”

”No no no, I show it It’s just that, you knohat they say, 'the talented hawk hides its claws' Oh yeah, what's a hawk?”

”It's a bird, you idiot”

”It's rare for people to knohat kind of birds there are nowadays”

Felli suddenly thought of so this conversation, so she looked around

Sharnid didn't fail to notice that action

”Unfortunately, Layfon's not here He's working at a pasture right now”

”No oneit”

If she hadn't forgotten to bring her Dite - thinking this, Felli glared fiercely at the s Sharnid

”Well, let's not talk about that Felli-chan, do you really not kno to swi It's just that, if you can't swi to shen summer coht anyways”

Felli's skin didn't tan, so she would end up very

”That's truly unfortunate, there's sunblock that doesn't get washed of nowadays”

”So what?”

Just then, Sharnid's s to Felli in secret

”Itfor suet several steps ahead”

Felli exerted her rationality to its limits and kept any eh her irl Sharnid deliberately kept fro about

She would wear a swiine What would that girl wear? A bikini? A one-piece swiure of Nina's friend from yesterday - Selina - appeared in her irl was similar to her In that case, it htening

Felli glared fiercely at Sharnid Even if she knew that Sharnid would be no help, Felli still resented histo her

”I don't knohat you want to say I's I' this, Felli turned to Nina again

”Okay, let's start practice”

”Huh? Ah, yeah”

Nina's reaction was slow, as she had been excluded from the conversation

Felli walked to the pool before Nina, co this

”Ah, wait Warm up first”

Nina followed her, and thus the practice began

That said, the practice wouldn't becoh”

Felli had practiced for an entire four hours Her body felt shockingly heavy when she got out of the pool

”It's pretty good that you're able to do this much on the second day”

Nina said

Despite everything, Felli had succeeded in using a kickboard while breathing, and had swaress

”Good work”

After he walked over to theave Felli and Nina sports drinks

”You You're still here”

Though talking was bothersoratefully took the sports drink

”No no no, I happened to be taking a break just now”

Sharnid's body was certainly still dripping wet Was he swi attention to that at all while she practiced, so she didn't knohat Sharnid had been doing

But considering the cheers of female students and how Sharnid also replied to the

”Hey, do you want to eat so?”

”Uh, well I don't have tie? If you keep practicing like this, your muscles will definitely hurt, you know”

”Oh, that's a good idea Theyour muscles”

”Oh, you're a frequent user, huh”

”I use it here when I have the time”

Nina put on a somewhat proud expression, and it was decided that Felli and the others were going to the spa

The spa was underground

After taking off her clothes in the changing roo herself with a towel, Felli walked into the bath Unlike the hu pool, the air here was hot and full of stea herself, she was brought to an area secluded from the other areas by wooden walls

”Uh”

This place was filled with a scent other than the aro the wood

”This is”

There was a narrow tub in the di it made Felli's eyes widen

The rich and peculiar aro, and even the hot water was jet-black

The explanation on the wall read that a mix of several herbs was dissolved in the hot water

(I see)

Felli understood what the 'medicinal' Nina hadthrough it, so don't be scared Careful not to slip”

”Okay”

Nina touched the hot water with her foot first, then subh softly with an expression of comfort, Felli also entered the hot water

A slippery feeling came to her feet, and Felli knew very clearly that there was some kind of rich substance mixed in here that was not ordinary hot water

After she sub made Felli inadvertently shi+ver The slo-frequency waves gently sti close to the hot water, the intense scent of herbs rushed into her nostrils

”It feels weird before you get used to it, so take your tih It's surprisingly effective”

”Is that so?”

”Yeah”

Nina closed her eyes with a relaxed expression fro that the aps of her muscles as the low-frequency waves stimulated her, and it felt a bit co

”So this is the secret behind your unnecessary energy”

”What do you , but it quickly turned into a wry s Don't look attime off all the time”

”But if the people on top don't take breaks, the people under them can't take breaks either Please keep it reasonable, Captain”

”You all still take tient”

Those words were true - Felli fell silent

”Well, it's finally a holiday, so we don't have to talk about that today”

”Yeah, I think that's fine”

But once they didn't talk about the platoon, their opportunities to talk also vanished That said, it didn't feel particularly troublesome Felli didn't hate quiet time, and Nina who came here often didn't have the kind of personality to fear silence

As a result, no aard atmosphere formed between the two of them, and they spent the time in silence

◇

She faced this co rooing clothes, Felli let Nina walk half a step before her as she thought about how to respond to that Just then, a chaotic sound calass shattering, and it was very loud

The uproarious, dangerous sound transfor room Felli also followed behind her

In front of the changing room was the narrow hallway that divided males from females, and the front desk of the baths were on the other side Though it was partially automated, there were students and maintenance workers there

When Felli and the others entered, those ferabbed by a brawny man

There were also several other !?”

Nina roared

None of theest problem was the restored Dites held in their hands

”Captain!”

Felli ied that roar to be too careless Nina also quickly noticed that, so her expression twisted Nina had brought her Dite But before entering the bath, she had left the Dite at the front desk

”No one move!”

The man who looked like the leader threatened the students who had heard the co to harm you if you don't act rashly

His voice was very rational, and just that made Felli feel like this situation would be very troublesoive them any room to take action

The intruders made the customers around them move in front of the front desk and surrounded them Felli and Nina followed their instructions as well

Felli slowly hid in Nina's shadow as shewatched No, Nina would have been watched even if she hadn't spoken up It looked like these people were Military Artists who had co bus, so it shouldn't be difficult for thenize Nina as a Military Artist

In that case, what could Felli do while Nina was being watched? What exactly was going on?

Felli thought about this

The glass in front of the front desk was shattered The intruders had broken in fro that their Dites had been restored before they broke in, it was probably reasonable to believe that they had probably been in so from?

(It's obvious)

Felli wanted to relax sometimes too She had come to this health resort in such an unexpected manner, but this kind of coh

As if answering her speculation, an ah the broken

”You're already surrounded!”

She had heard this voice before, though not enough to get used to it He was the boss of one of Layfon's workplaces, a higher-up of the city police

She rees!”

The man who seeuarantee of safety until the roaes once we get a clear promise If not”

The erous lights in their eyes Frightened voices rose up There was a violent presence in the eyes of these people backed into a corner

”Hold on!”

Formed's voice stripped the eneral situation frootiations between Forroup of infor Zuellni's Aquaculture Department The person as chiefly responsible for the theft had already been arrested, and they seeuards But it seemed like these men had fled when their crimes had been revealed, and hence they must not have been so unified

The city police had chased after the fugitives and the situation had turned into this

They would beco as nothing outrageous happens, on't forcefully evict you fro like this is equivalent to signing your own death warrant!”

Formed's proclamation seemed to shake the men up quite a bit

In this enclosed city, criardless of how they resisted Ignoring cities like Joelderoups that didn't have personal roa buses were co action But that had failed, and they could only put up pointless resistance until they were arrested

Waiting in front of the or death by forced eviction

The criminals only wore such cornered looks because they realized that

However, thought it was only by a s the pressure froht now is the tis successfully developed in this direction, theyto act

Maybe they wouldn't surrender

She would have to prepare for those circu of responsibility as a Military Artist, nor was it for her own safety No, it was for her own safety

Nina was standing in a place she could protect Felli and her back gave off the feeling that she was desperately trying to conceal her desire to act Nina would definitely stand up to protect the students here if they gave up on everything That wasn't because Nina was a Military Artist, it was because of her personality

(At the least, I should first clearly find out where Captain's Dite is)

But she would have to use Psychokinesis to do that Even if she didn't have a Dite to use as an amplification device, Felli could use easily her basic Psychokinesis to locate its position fro would be over Felli's Psychokinetic ability had always been extre a Dite and released her Psychokinesis without properly controlling the output, her hair would react to her Psychokinesis and glow

(I have to use my Psychokinesis cautiously)

Felli carefully prepared to release her Psychokinesis

”Hey, what are you doing!?”

Ato her senses, Felli was surprised by her own condition, and Nina also showed a surprised expression as she turned around Some of her hair that drooped over her shoulder and down her chest also entered her vision

Her hair was glowing

She had just planned on using a s off a dazzling light as if she were using her full Psychokinetic power Felli was rarely like this even in normal battles

”This”

But Felli immediately closed her mouth

She understood

In that shortabout this floor's entire situation, the positions of people, and even the reasons that had rees to the left!”

She looked at Nina's eyes and shouted

Nina understood from just that Felli's eyes couldn't catch the rapid movement of Military Artists, so she used Psychokinesis to track their movements

Nina moved The shockwave she released broke apart the desk, and the belongings placed underneath flew out

As was a Dite Nina's Dite

The Dite that flew out along with pieces of the desk was stored in a weapon belt It hit the wall and bounced back Nina reached out as it to take it, and the cri their weapons to try to stop her

So that hampered the criminal's movements happened almost simultaneously with Nina's movement

”Ah!”

”Uwah!”

There were two screa to the ground also resounded at the same tiing room - in front of the elevator, Sharnid released his Sakkei, put aside his sniper-type Dite, and closed in while restoring his pistol Dites

The re three were unable to communicate their intents, so they weren't even able to cooperate They froze there, unable to decide ould deal hat

Nina had grabbed her Dite in this period of time She kicked off the wall across froe direction, then shouted the restoration keyword and charged at the cri the leader, while Sharnid charged at the other two

”bastards!”

Thean axe-type Dite at Nina

Nina blocked the axe with her left iron whip and pushed it away after landing She used that force to spin her body, circling behind her opponent's back As expected of a trained Military Artist, Nina's opponent didn't let her do this HeNina's attack Nina wasn't able to continue her attack, so she took up a stance again

Before the dust had tiain

That was how it appeared

The man moved, and Ninaa stance for a reckless strike frouarded attack as he prepared to counter

But he was suddenly hit in the back

”Guah!”

A paralyzing sensation shot through his body at the sa bullet

Sharnid was the one who shot the bullet He had dealt with the two other Military Artists and used a free uarded back

But that action also showed a clear opening in Sharnid, as pressed hard dealing with two people

But the two of them also fell to the floor because of an impact from behind

This ti attack from above had been a feint, and she had used that ht iron whips

”Well, that's a victory through trust”

Sharnid grinned after shooting paralyzing bullets into the two fallen on the floor just in case

”It's souys who sell out their companions and run away could never learn”

”Don't ulated her heavy breathing as she picked up her iron whips

”I orrying the whole ti Since you always slack off as soon as we begin training”

”Didn't I say, the talented hawk hides its claws”

”You hide them too much, honestly”

The men from the city police came to the scene as a peaceful atmosphere formed

◇

”So, you knew?”

For Felli's resourcefulness Afterwards, Felli had asked this of the two of the at the Nina's feigned ignorance, Felli looked behind them

”Was this planned?”

Karian was there

”There was no choice I thought so like this would only when you were a child, but it did all of a sudden”

”Even so”

And why had Karian claiued in order to conceal Felli's condition and get her to a health resort?

As Felli felt suspicious, Karian explained:

”Also, if I let you stay that way, you'd continuously infringe on the privacy of others Do you get it? Over there is aparte as the house back in our hoh”

Felli could only remain silent when he said this

”Hey hey hey, wasn't that kind of boastful?”

”Shut up”

Nina and Sharnid's quiet words reached her

She didn't hear them with her ears, but instead sensed the her Psychokinesis, and her hair wasn't glowing either

Felli's Psychokinetic ability was far greater than norh this was the y, it was more accurate to say that was due to the fact that she could control such tremendous Psychokinesis

But that Psychokinesis hadn't been under complete control when she had been born Information would always randonored that information when she was still a toddler who didn't understand things, but that information confused her when she learned more about the world It surpassed herability decline and becoly slow

The current Felli was only here because she had conquered that

”It's pretty bad to talk about other people's secrets”

”I couldn't just say nothing”

But it was natural for Felli to constantly release Psychokinesis It was pretty difficult for Felli to control her Psychokinesis and continuously suppress it fro released

So before she had co ability would sometimes weaken and her Psychokinesis would constantly flow out At the time, Felli would hear voices fros from places she couldn't see So out, unable to y

Those situations slowly became infrequent after ten years, and she had already been co to Zuellni Or at least Felli thought so

But she didn't think that she would have that condition again now

”Co quarters here and not h it was just as a precaution, I arranged for no guests to be around your room”

Even so, Felli had still heard Karian and Nina's conversation Karian had probably explaining the details to Nina at that time

”Hmm Well, it was honestly just a coincidence that I ca practice because the President said that it would be good to tire you out Uh, sorry”

Nina lowered her head

But Felli didn't particularly want Nina to apologize She knew that she was actually blushi+ng in elared at Karian

”Don't be that fully believing that Felli had rid herself of her anger, Karian approached her

”You definitely wouldn't understand”

He definitely wouldn't be able to understand that, to Felli, this kind of embarrassment was like what other people would feel if they were still wetting the bed at this age

She just silently kicked Karian's shi+n as hard as she could
