I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Randolph paused, "A welcoming ceremony?"

“Yes, quite a warm welcome, huh?” Jill said with a half-smile, which made Randolph feel a little uneasy.

After all, nothing good ever happens when Jill speaks in that tone...

"...Your Majesty, there's no need to mess with me..."

"I'm not trying to mess with you, it's just a test, nothing more."

At that moment, Jill suddenly moved aside, just in time to avoid being face-to-face with Randolph.

What came into Randolph's view was a figure wearing purple armor.

The figure in purple armor paused only briefly before stomping the ground and charging directly towards Randolph!

"! That's...!" Randolph saw the driver on the figure's waist, "Just like mine..."

“Go, accept the challenge. This is your first mission, but be careful. Find a good spot to fight, and don’t damage the equipment, okay?” Jill said, walking past Randolph.

"Ha, Wang, you really understand me."

A fierce fighting spirit and sparks flashed in Randolph's eyes.

"RobotJelly!"

"Crush, flow, overflow! Robot In Grease! Braaa!"

The blue driver was equipped, and accompanied by sound effects, the youth was clad in yellow armor.

"boom!"

The purple fist collided with the yellow fist, and the powerful force of the punch forced both of them to take a step back.

"This way."

A somewhat youthful voice came from inside the purple armor.

It sounded like a very young voice.

"Alright, I am [Mad Lion] Randolph, the Grand Commander of [Azure Dragon]. You brat, state your name."

Randolph pressed down on Kusanagi's fist and said.

“I am Kusanagi-gakure, I have no title, I am the king’s first subject.”

Kusanagi responded to the other party's words.

"Then, let's go this way!"

"Walk!"

The two armored figures vanished in an instant. Gil shrugged and looked at the deputy commander—Lin Feiyang—"St. Freya Academy was attacked recently and is currently being rebuilt, so the engineering department can build a few more shops for you to manage."

"But, Your Majesty, we are soldiers..."

Lin Feiyang hesitated for a moment, but still said those words.

"What soldiers? Do you think you'll still be soldiers after the Honkai is destroyed? Wouldn't it be a good thing to learn some survival skills in advance?"

Jill patted Lin Feiyang on the head, "This is for your own good. Otherwise, if all you know is fighting, how will you survive in this society? You'll just call a bunch of brothers to beat someone up at the drop of a hat?"

"This one……"

“It’s not that I’m blaming you, but in short, don’t fall behind in your training—and also, students of St. Freya Academy, you’re not allowed to cause trouble. Anyone who makes a move…” Golden ripples appeared around Jill, and a long sword popped out of the Gate of Babylon. “That little dwarf, and that red-haired beauty over there, or even me… we’ve all made a decision.”

Jill smiled and turned her gaze to the soldiers inside the Azure Dragon. "Cut them off."

"Eek!?" A terrified voice rang out from the crowd.

Of course, the logistics staff were quite calm—after all, many of them were women, and they would probably be assigned to work in the logistics department of St. Freya Academy.

"Alright, that's all we need to be careful about... Kashu, Lin Feiyang, tell Randolph that your new base is here—because it's a bit far, I've prepared a transport vehicle for you. Move the things over there, then the logistics department will drive, and the rest of you will run!"

"Yes!"

The members of 【Azure Dragon】 responded to Jill's words in unison.

Kashu sighed, "Ugh, honestly, my stamina's not quite up to par..."

"If you run in the lead later, I'll be willing to be punished just to drag you to the back!"

Gutt, who was truly physically weak—a technician who was too lazy to train and had extremely poor endurance—stared at Kashu with resentful eyes.

"Alright, alright, don't look at me like that. I'll run slower to keep up with you later," Kashu said with a smile, reassuring Gutt before pointing ahead. "Let's go! Pipit!"

This was a fluent, pure Chinese sentence, which left Gutt completely stunned.

"Let's go."

"Wait, can you explain what that last sentence even means?!"

……

"Haha, isn't that great?" Jill asked, watching [Azure Dragon] head towards the temporary base.

"Well, that's a bit unexpected... Even the weakest one there, the one who looks like a technician, gives off a dangerous vibe." Himeko responded to Gil's words. "Are you really sure it's okay to have them stationed here? And also..."

“I’m good at judging people,” Jill said. “Trust me.”

Chapter 175 Jill Keeps Her Promise

As evening fell, Kusanagi and Randolph, both bruised and battered, helped each other back to the academy.

The two guys, who were completely reckless in their attacks, got a real dressing down from Jill.

"Couldn't you have been a little more careful when you attacked?! Hiding is one thing, but Randolph, what's wrong with you?!"

Watching Jill single-handedly berate a boy who had fought his way through hordes of zombies seven times, and a mercenary known as the "Mad Lion," Theresa was practically ready to give him a 0v0 look.

Because Jill's aura is just too terrifying... especially when she's lecturing.

Moreover, Kusanagi and Randolph showed no intention of resisting at all.

Because they knew very well why Jill was unhappy.

"I meant to ask you a little question, I didn't say you should use excessive force, did I?" Gil squinted at Kusanagi.

The icy aura made Kusanagi straighten his back. "Because Mr. Randolph struck first with force!"

"So I told you to restrain yourself from controlling that berserk impulse as soon as possible, but you still didn't listen?"

Jill was holding a person's head in one hand. Although Randolph was taller and stronger than Jill, the way Jill lifted him up made him look like a helpless little chick.

"...I'm sorry, we were wrong!"

Both of them apologized at the same time.

Jill squinted, clearly in a bad mood.

But now that the fight has already happened, even though it was all done with force, there's a saying that you don't know someone until you fight them. Maybe it's a good thing that these two fought.

Jill pondered for a moment before finally releasing her grip on their heads. "I'll spare you this time. Randolph—go back and assist Kashu for two days, taking charge of your Azure Dragon's meals; Yin, you go too, it'll be a good opportunity to get acquainted with the Azure Dragon's atmosphere, just like Lian did."

"……Yes."

So they both accepted the punishment.

If it were just an injury, Jill wouldn't have gotten this angry no matter what.

The main reason is that these two idiots gave each other a boost...

Alright, put it in the Gate of Babylon for automatic repair. It should take about two days. In the meantime, let them help out in the kitchen.

This way, they'll understand the principle of holding back a little during a sparring match...

……

The next day.

Today is a very important day for Len Ashbell.

She was in a very good mood.

It's not just about getting up very early.

Despite Kamui constantly circulating and cleansing her body of impurities, she still took a proper bath, changed into new clothes, and appeared in the living room looking refreshed.

She looks like a young girl going on a date with her sweetheart—

In fact, this is true.

The girl has a secret that isn't exactly a secret.

The reason it's not considered a secret is that anyone with a discerning eye could see that the girl had special feelings for her master.

It's not just about respect for the teacher who taught and raised you...

She probably also values ​​the men she likes.

"Are you that happy?" Sitting on the chair behind Lian, the girl with night-colored hair and twilight-colored eyes swung her legs back and forth. "You actually like him quite a bit, don't you? It's romantic love, not the kind of love between family members?"

“You should know this best, Restia…” Ren replied.

The one who truly had the deepest bond with Ren Ashbell was Restia Ashdol.

The dark elf girl's twilight-colored eyes gleamed with an unusual light.

Was that man really so oblivious that he didn't realize Lian liked him?

"Good morning, Lian." A slightly deep voice rang out. Jill, dressed in a well-fitting shirt and trousers, yawned as she stood on the stairs.

"You're up really early, and you look quite excited."

Gil's eyes were half-closed, and although her expression was unreadable, the dark elf girl could see a hint of a smile in her eyes.

Jill is the type who doesn't show his emotions easily; sometimes, the best way to gauge his mood is by reading his eyes.

At least Restia can tell that Jill is in a pretty good mood now.

"Let's go, I'll do what I promised you and take you out for a day." Jill ruffled Lian's hair.

The gesture looks intimate, but to the dark elf girl, who is sensitive to things like the mind, it looks more like a father's affection for his daughter.

"Then, Restia, Enkidu, and Theresa, tell them that I'm taking Ren out for a trip today—of course, we won't be back for lunch or dinner."

Jill took Ren's hand, then, as if unaware that Ren's face instantly flushed red with embarrassment, continued, "Well then, we'll head out now~"
