Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow.

Chapter 343: Chuunibyou can also save the world.
"Ibiruai is right. No adventurer team will easily accept strangers. This is not a question of strength, but a question of trust. After all, when carrying out a mission, there is no trust."

Before Gegelan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Alice who was beside Chelsea.

"Sir Gegelan, I think you made a mistake!"

"What did I do wrong?" Gegelan asked Alice, who was speaking for the first time since they met.

"We only need the identity of a steel-level adventurer. As for the missions of the Adventurer's Guild, we have no interest in accepting them. Because adventurers need to obtain things by accepting missions, and apart from status, we have everything!" Alice's words sounded a bit arrogant.

"Uh" After hearing this, Gegelan, who was sitting opposite Alice, showed a look of surprise on her face.

"You two, I believe you have seen that the looks of the three of us can easily attract some unnecessary trouble, so we need a public identity that can alert some fools who are easily blinded by desire." Chelsea smiled and helped Alice to explain.

"That's understandable." Gegelan nodded. After all, in her opinion as a woman, Chelsea, Alice and Alexia were all a little too beautiful, not to mention the men.

"Even so, 'Blue Rose' will not accept strangers to join casually. And new members need to be discussed by all members, so we can't give you three any answer." Ibiruai declined politely.

"It doesn't matter. After all, if we were in their place, we would make the same choice." Alexia, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke at this moment, and gave Chelsea a look at the same time.

After noticing Alexia's eyes, Chelsea took off the long package she had been carrying from behind her back and placed it on the table.

As Chelsea opened the package, a rectangular box appeared in front of Gegelan and Ibiruai.

The next second, as Chelsea opened the box, a long sword with a rather gorgeous appearance appeared in their sight.

"This sword..." Ibiruai looked at the 'Magic Sword Gram' and was speechless for a moment.

"Ibiruai, is there anything special about this sword?" Gege Lan, who was standing aside, couldn't figure out the details of the 'Magic Sword Gram'.

"Can you identify it?" Ibiruai asked Alexia.

After all, she could see that the woman with the highest status among the three was Alexia, who spoke last.

"Please feel free!" Alexia replied indifferently.

"Advanced identification magic!" After getting permission, Ibiruai used magic directly.

"How is it?" Gegelan asked curiously.

"I can't identify it, but I can feel that this sword contains extraordinary power." Ibiruai shook his head and said very affirmatively.

"Finding a suitable owner for this sword is the second purpose of our wandering this time." Chelsea then spoke.

"Find a master for this sword? Don't you want to use such a sword yourself?" Ibiruai asked Alexia and the other two girls in shock.

"Who would be willing to give up a sacred artifact if you can use it yourself?" Chelsea said, spreading her hands.

"Divine Artifact?!" Gegelan was shocked when she heard this word.

As for Ibiruai on the side, he was relatively calm. After all, a weapon that could not be identified even by his high-level identification magic must be a more advanced equipment.

"Why can't I use it?" Compared to the divine weapon, Ibiruai cared more about this.

"This artifact is very different from ordinary equipment. Only those who are suitable for it can unleash the powerful power of the artifact itself. For those who are not suitable, holding it is just like holding a very sharp sword." Chelsea explained to Ibiruai.

"How can we judge whether it is suitable?" Ibiruai asked Chelsea.

"You'll understand if you touch the hilt of the sword." Chelsea gestured to Ibiruai.

"Is a magic profession also possible?" Ibiruai asked in surprise.

"This sword is not selective with either profession or race," Chelsea said meaningfully.

Hearing this, Gegelan looked at Chelsea with surprise. After all, Ibiruai's identity as a vampire was strictly kept secret from the outside world.

"This sword rejected me!" After reaching out and touching the hilt of the sword, a mysterious feeling told Ibiruai that she was rejected.

"Is it so magical?" Hearing this, Gegelan looked at Ibiruai and asked.

"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can try it." Ibiruai nodded.

"Is it okay?" Gegelan looked at Alexia and asked.

"Please!" Chelsea answered on behalf of Alexia.

"What a strange feeling, this sword seems to have its own will." After touching the hilt, Gegelan also felt the same feeling.

"This artifact has no self-will, otherwise it wouldn't have been unable to find a suitable user." Alice sighed.

"You two, I believe you have realized that our first goal is related to our second goal." Chelsea said while the iron was hot.

"Obtain an identity, and then hold a sword-testing competition in the name of 'Blue Rose', is that right?" Chelsea had already said this. As a vampire who had lived for more than two hundred years, how could Ibiruai not understand?

To put it bluntly, the three Alexia girls planned to hold a sword-testing competition under the name of "Blue Rose".

With the name guarantee of the Elite Steel Adventurer Team, the outside world would naturally not doubt the authenticity of the artifact.

In addition, the captain of the "Blue Rose", Laqiusi, is actually the daughter of a noble family. With her appearance and the reputation of the "Blue Rose", a lot of trouble can be avoided.

Otherwise, once the news about the artifact came out, Alexia and her two daughters would probably face all kinds of troubles.

"That's right. In fact, there will be more than one person who can use the artifact. Of course, it is also possible that there is no one. But one thing that is without a doubt is that whoever becomes the first to adapt will be the new owner of this artifact." Chelsea said to Ibiruai in an inexplicable tone.

Such a straightforward suggestion could be heard by not only Ibiruai but even Gegelan.

To put it simply, as long as the Blue Rose is willing to lend its name to the three Alexia girls, then the relevant internal personnel can try out the sword first.

Only after confirming that there is no suitable person, will the so-called sword test competition be held. "Gegelan, go inform Tia and Tina, I will take the three of them to find Laqiusi." Ibiruai said decisively, after all, this is a divine weapon!
Although Ibiruai also knows that free artifacts will not fall from the sky, it is fine as long as the artifact itself is fine.

As for what hidden story is behind this and what price needs to be paid, these are not reasons to reject the artifact.

"Good judgment!" said Chelsea with a smile.

"Please follow me, all of you!" Ibiruai said and stood up.

After Chelsea closed the box and put it on her back, she led the three girls outside.

About an hour later, Ibiruai brought the three girls to the garden of a noble mansion, in front of a noble daughter who was enjoying afternoon tea.

"This is our Blue Rose's captain, Laqiusi." Ibiruai explained directly.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Alexia Midgar, and this is my sister Alice Midgar, and my maid Chelsea." Alexia took the initiative to introduce herself this time.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Laqis Elbein Drew Aindora." Laqis replied politely.

"Laqiusi, the main reason I brought them to see you is..." Ibiruai immediately explained the purpose of their visit.

After hearing that the three Alexia girls were carrying a sacred weapon, Laqiusi was also quite shocked.

"Mr. Midgar, regarding your request, I need to wait until all members are gathered to discuss it before I can give you an accurate answer." Laqiusi said to Alexia after listening.

"That's as it should be. But there's one thing I want to make clear in advance. Once the ownership of the artifact is confirmed, we may choose to withdraw based on the specific circumstances. Please don't mind at that time." Alexia nodded and said.

"Of course. I wonder if Lady Alexia would mind letting me admire the artifact first?" Laqiusi nodded and asked.

After all, she was very curious at the moment, and the middle school student soul in her bones could no longer be restrained.

Who asked Alexia to carry the artifact to find a suitable owner? It really has the flavor of fate and is too much in line with her middle school taste.

"Of course!" Alexia nodded to Chelsea with a smile.

As the package was put down, the long box was opened again, and Laqiusi's attention was immediately attracted by the long sword lying in the box.

"You can give it a try." Alexia's voice sounded immediately.

With an eager look in her eyes, Laqiusi stretched out her hand towards the sword.

The moment her hand touched the hilt of the sword, Laqiusi's expression changed from eagerness to surprise.

"Gram?" Laqiusi couldn't help but say the name.

"This is such an unexpected surprise." Upon hearing this, Alexia stood up with an extremely excited and surprised look on her face.

"Has Laqiusi been recognized by the sword?!" Ibiruai also realized this after listening to what the two said.

"Yes, it seems that Laqiusi is indeed the right person, otherwise it would be impossible to know the name of 'Gram', but this is only the first step." Having said that, Alexia stretched out her hand and took back Gram, whose hilt was already held by Laqiusi.

However, Alexia did not hold Gram, but instead held up the hilt and the sword with both hands, and then walked a few steps to Laqius.

"Laqis Elbein Drew Aiendora, the 'Holy Sword Gram' symbolizes glory and destruction. Accepting it means shouldering a heavy fate. Do you have this awareness?" Alexia asked Laqis in an extremely serious voice.

"I have long been prepared to bear a heavy fate." Laqiusi knelt on one knee in front of Alexia and raised her hands high and said.

"The ultimate evil has descended upon the continent, the era of extreme evil is about to begin, and the fate of humanity being ravaged is imminent. Accepting Gram means that you will face the most brutal evil and stare into the endless abyss of despair.

In order to dispel the evil shadow that shrouds humanity, you must stand up and hold high the banner of resistance, but if you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces! Faced with such a fate, did you not hesitate at all?" Alexia asked again.

"If someone has to bear this fate, I hope it's me!" Laqiusi, who suffers from severe chuunibyou syndrome, could never listen to Alexia's clichés full of chuunibyou style.

She was extremely excited at the moment. After all, over the years, only Alexia had said to her the words she had been waiting for for so long.

"Since you have such awareness, I will abide by the ancient covenant and grant you the certificate of bravery - the Holy Sword Gram!" After Alexia finished speaking, she solemnly placed Gram in Laqiusi's hands.

Although the atmosphere between the two was extremely serious and their lines were full of the flavor of fate, Ibiruai, who was watching, always felt that something was wrong.

"Laqiusi, you don't mind me calling you that, do you?" After teaching her the sword, Alexia helped Laqiusi up and asked.

"Of course I don't mind, Lord Midgar!" Laqiusi nodded. After all, she had already regarded Alexia as her close friend.

"Laqiusi, you can call me Alexia from now on." Alexia said with a faint smile.

"Okay, Alexia!" Laqiusi nodded immediately. She really wanted to get closer to Alexia.

"Then let's get back to the topic. The ultimate evil has indeed come to the continent. If you have any connections in this regard, Laqiusi, you can ask those ancient beings. I believe they can give you a more accurate answer. So I won't go into details about this. What I want to talk about is you, Laqiusi." Alexia said to Laqiusi.

"Alexia, what about me?" Laqiusi asked Alexia in confusion.

"Lacius, you are too weak. Even if we go to war against evil later, I will give you another brave equipment, the 'Holy Armor Aegis', so that you don't have to worry about defense. But if you are too weak, you will not be able to fully exert the power of Gram.

After all, no matter how powerful Gram is, if the user is too weak, it will not pose any threat to evil, just like a child swinging a sledgehammer." Alexia had just said this when Ibiruai at the side could not help but interrupt her.

"Wait, Laqiusi has already entered the realm of heroes, so you can't say she's too weak."

“Sir Ibiruai, the extreme evil that Laqiusi has to face is not something that can be resisted by those who have entered the realm of heroes. Even those who have entered the realm of legends cannot face it. Only the super-powerful who have entered the realm of myths are qualified to face it.

Of course, it was unrealistic to let Laqiusi step into the myth realm, but holding Gram could use attacks from the myth realm. However, the existence of stepping into the myth realm was not only powerful in terms of strength, but also powerful in every aspect.

"Holy Sword Gram" and "Holy Armor Aegis" only make up for the gap in attack and defense. The remaining combat experience, combat skills, and most importantly, combat will need to be honed continuously." Alexia shook her head and explained.
