I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"Come on, everyone, attack!"

Jill dodged Fu Hua's punch that was charging straight at her, raised her longbow, and deflected the lotus that was pressing down from the other side. "Use your full strength."

"All members, cover Kusanagi, the class president, and Ren as they attack! We can't keep up with Gilgamesh's speed...!"

Bronya immediately began directing the Valkyries through the megaphone, and with the exception of one person, the other Valkyries naturally began to act—

And the person who was removed was naturally—

"Drink!"

The white fluffy ball launched a high, sweeping kick at Jill from behind.

However, what she kicked was the arrow that Jill had blocked there.

“You guys are pretty good. To prevent me from using my bow and arrows, you're using close-quarters combat to create opportunities for the other students on the outside to try and take Archer down from me, or to stall until time runs out.” Gilles showed an approving expression. “This combat experience is indeed very good.”

"Bang!" As Fu Hua's fist was caught by Jill, Kusanagi and Ren's attacks were simultaneously aimed at Jill's right arm—the hand holding the bow.

"Inch power..." Fu Hua's right hand also began to gather strength.

"Well?"

Sensing something was wrong, Jill was about to retreat when another figure locked her tightly from behind—

"Don't even think about escaping!" Kiana shouted forcefully, having locked Gil's arms in a lock.

"Tsk!" Jill realized that these guys had clearly planned this all along!

Although a vast ocean of water was released, but...

"As expected... I'm still a little excited."

A smile appeared on Jill's face.

However, Fu Hua, who was closest to the smile, saw more than just a smile.

That's the smile a hunter shows when he's spotted valuable prey!

"Open Heaven!" Without hesitation, a fist carrying the power to shatter metal and split stone was swung out, and the combined attack from Kusanagi and Ren arrived as expected—

Whoosh... Clang!

All three attacks struck Jill, but only caused her body to sway slightly; she didn't even move her feet.

"It's very interesting, but you guys made me a little happier."

Jill looked at the three people in front of her with a smile. How could her all-out attack not even break through their defenses?

Fu Hua, who was very observant, also noticed something was amiss.

because……

"Our attack didn't even touch Teacher Jill!?"

Only then did the three Kusanagi realize—

Jill was enveloped in a faint, red glow.

"boom!"

A burst of red light erupted from Jill, blasting all four of them away.

"Just a scale." On Gil's left hand, crimson light flashed, transforming into a gauntlet resembling a ferocious dragon claw.

Jill wore a slightly amused smile.

"You guys are pretty good. Although I suppressed my power to a level similar to yours and didn't even use the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star, I still got tricked by you and almost lost..." Jill raised her right hand, making a tiny gesture with her index finger and thumb. "You guys have something that I can acknowledge now..."

"But that's not enough, only forty men... Come on, attack with all your might—"

Jill beckoned with her finger.

……

The ensuing battle was one-sided.

If the Valkyries were to recall it, the only word to describe this teacher's power would be "monster."

Fifty-eight minutes into the test, Jill showed a hint of regret, then casually tossed aside the Archer she was holding, exclaiming, "Oops, slipped!"

"Well, never mind. After all, you're all quite far from the 'Undying Blade,' so it seems a bit difficult for you to face me like this." Gilles sighed, looking at the bewildered Valkyries in front of him. "Alright, go back and rest."

Jill left looking uninterested, and Fu Hua rubbed her fist.

It hurts a little...

Kusanagi's armor was removed, while Ren looked somewhat disappointed.

Fu Hua could hardly believe that even after using almost all of her restored strength, she couldn't even break through that thin layer of "qi scales"...

It's simply unimaginable.

After Jill gave her the "Jingwei Feather", her strength began to recover steadily step by step.

However, incredibly, despite having almost regained her strength from hundreds of years ago, she couldn't even break through the opponent's defense.

Moreover, this is definitely not the opponent's full strength.

Holding a bow that could only be used for defense in one hand, and dealing with attacks from four people, as well as sniper shots and missiles from the outer perimeter, he remained at ease for more than fifty minutes...

Even an S-class Valkyrie couldn't do that.

Putting aside other things, just considering that Randolph, who is already capable of defeating S-rank Valkyries, was defeated by a tactical combo, a normal S-rank Valkyrie would not be able to handle the attacks of Ren and Kusanagi, let alone block so many attacks with ease.

"...Alright, don't be discouraged, little girls." Randolph walked over carrying the Berserker. "That man, back in the day, easily defeated more than eight hundred demons on the battlefield by himself and with just two pistols."

“His combat experience is far beyond what you can compare to. Moreover, I remember that in Destiny, the ‘Undying Blade’ was easily defeated by him when the entire army was mobilized. So don’t underestimate yourselves. You still have a long way to go. Well, at least you’ll be punished for taking me down today…” Randolph muttered, then walked back towards the Azure Dragon’s stronghold.

Randolph's words plunged the Valkyries into deep thought.

……

night.

"Woooo..."

It's late at night.

In the entire St. Freya Academy, only a few staff members on night shift remained awake.

It's impossible for such a large college to be without nighttime patrols.

Moreover, putting everything else aside, just considering the names of the two research institutes, the Far East Branch and the Gate of Babylon, there must be many people who want to steal secrets from them, right?

And there was such a figure, moving through the darkness.

It was the figure of a girl with long golden hair, wearing armor.

She cautiously observed the guards in front of her, and in the instant when their vision was obscured, she jumped over them, crossing the guards' line of defense at the door.

Then, she slowly made her way to a dormitory room—

Then, I went up to the second floor.

"Hmm..." Kiana, nestled in a pillow, lay peacefully asleep on the bed. Moonlight streamed in through the window, making her look like a moonlit fairy—

To be honest, when Kiana is quiet, absolutely no one could tell that she is actually a rather impulsive girl.

But while the quiet Kiana is quite cute, the carefree Kiana is also quite likable.

As long as she doesn't cause trouble, that's fine.

The blonde girl took out a container, turned on the switch, and pressed it onto Kiana, who was still asleep.

The purple liquid in the container gradually dwindled, and the girl put the container away. She then cautiously looked around before jumping out the window and leaving.

……

As a result, they were intercepted halfway.

"Long time no see, little girl." Randolph, carrying a heavy Zhenning weapon, sat by the tree and greeted the girl who had jumped up to the tree next door.

The girl's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Randolph Granster... why are you here?"

"Why? Yes, I'd like to know too."

After blurring the image, Randolph looked up at the girl from below. "I'm here for a reason, just like how you sneaked in here in the middle of the night... Looks like I didn't scare you back then."

Then, as if remembering something, he glanced at the girl again and showed a look of disgust. "Tsk, wearing pants."

"...Hmph." The girl snorted coldly. "And then? Do you want to keep me here?"

“Of course, huh?” Randolph picked up the driver and attached it to his waist. “Take out your Divine Key and come have a good fight with me.”

The girl shook her head. "Unfortunately, the Divine Key isn't with me..."

"This one? Take it, it's just a harmless toy anyway."

A box flew over and landed on a fork in the tree branch next to the girl.

Kashu was standing on a tree branch, and it seemed like he was wearing an earpiece. It looked like he was being instructed to do this.

Randolph picked up the robot jelly. "Durandal, it seems the King has given me another chance to prove myself—today, you'd better pay the price before you leave—"

"RobotJelly!"

Chapter 197 Otto, This is Just a Warning

After watching Durandal open the box and take out the Black Abyss White Flower, Randolph also pressed down hard on the driver's handle.

"Crush, flow, overflow! Robot in Gerase! Braa!"

"Alright, let's fight."

With a "click-clack" sound effect, the Berserker revealed his fangs and transformed into a giant axe-spear.

"No matter how many times I see it, I still feel that it is a vicious weapon..."

Durandal, holding a weapon that looked like a medieval knight's lance, said.

"The word 'extremely vicious' is used very well," Randolph said casually.

This enormous axe-spear, when fully extended, is over two meters long. The massive axe blade and the serrated edges extending from the back of the muzzle, along with the mechanism, all exude a ferocious aura.

There is no doubt that this gun was designed not only for humans.
