I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"They couldn't even catch a mere invading thief, and they were even defeated by a group of low elves possessed by skeletons, getting entangled in place and ultimately ending up being the Raven Class. They're utterly useless."

Upon hearing Verseria's words, the knights who had been about to say something were suddenly silenced, as if they had been choked. Only Alice protested angrily:

"You can say whatever you want about me, but please don't insult these loyal knights. Even if you are the former Grand Master of the Knights, I cannot forgive you!"

In response to Alice's words, Velseria looked at Alice coldly and said:

"Oh, so how do you plan to refuse to forgive me?"

".......?!"

Upon hearing Verseria's words, Alice was speechless. Clearly, Verseria's words left Alice unsure how to respond. Verseria, seeing Alice's expression of wanting to say something but finding no words, said:

"Or are you trying to convince me with your strength, Grand Master of the Knights?"

As she spoke, Verseria grasped Alice's chin with her slender fingers and looked down at her. Alice was quite surprised to feel the divine power emanating from Verseria. Before Verseria set off to carry out her mission, Alice had never felt such pressure from Verseria's divine power.

But how could my sister have undergone such a dramatic change after only a few weeks of her return?!

Seeing that Alice didn't say anything and looked quite disappointed, seemingly stunned by his divine power, he shook her and said:

"Ha... It seems that entrusting the Wind King Knights to you was a mistake."

Upon hearing Velseria's words, Alice's pupils contracted slightly. Then, Velseria looked at the Knights members standing to the side, and the next moment, a sharp shockwave radiated from her body.

As the shockwave emanated from Versailles, the entire building rumbled as if it had been struck by an earthquake, with cracks appearing in the walls and floors.

The female knight who was blasted away by Viseria's elven magic crashed into the wall, while Alice, who reacted quickly, also dodged the sudden impact. In addition to Alice, several other senior knights also dodged the attack.

Seeing the horrific scene around her, Alice, visibly agitated, looked at her sister and shouted:

"What are you doing--"

Looking at the remaining people, Viseria, with a slightly nonchalant expression, interrupted Alice and said:

"Hmm? Are there still this many people left?"

Then, with a very arrogant expression, Vercelia pointed at four of the remaining girls and said:

"You, you, and the two of you."

Seeing her sister's actions, Alice, realizing what was happening, excitedly questioned her:

"Sister, what exactly do you want to do?!"

"As you can see, I am selecting talent. The person I just called over can join my team."

Upon hearing Velcelia's words, Alice realized that Velcelia also intended to poach members of the already small Knights Order. Alice could no longer stand idly by.

How could you make such a decision on your own—

Before Alice could finish speaking, Velseria interrupted her again, saying:

"I will not force them; it is their own decision."

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing Viseria's words, Alice turned around in surprise to look at the four senior knights who had been named. The four knights hesitated for a moment before agreeing to join Viseria's team. Alice was surprised by their answer, but after thinking about it, she was not surprised at all.

After all, these four were members of the Knights when Versailles was the Grand Master, and they were very afraid of Versailles' strength. Of course, in addition to her strength, Versailles' ruthless manner back then made them dare not disobey her.

Perhaps out of guilt, none of the four looked at Alice as they left. After poaching four members of the Knights, Velseria glanced at Alice and said:

“I told you, Alice, you are not suited to be a knight.”

With that, Verseria left the Wind King Knights' meeting room, leaving Alice standing there in a daze.

Chapter 704 [Claire: Come and be my teammate!]

The next morning, Claire and the others were completely dumbfounded when they heard that their next team match would be against the team led by Visselia. To be honest, they didn't expect that their next opponent would be Visselia.

Claire and Linslet were aware of Velcelia's strength, after all, Velcelia was a spirit user who had participated in the Spirit Sword Dance Festival. In terms of strength, apart from Yuhaka, Velcelia was arguably the strongest in the academy.

Before this, Claire had witnessed Velcelia's strength. To be honest, apart from Euhaka and Linslett, she and Fiana had no means of attacking the Silent Fortress in the sky, which was a strong fortress floating in the sky with powerful firepower.

Although Claire knows some fire-type Pokémon magic, its effect on the Rock-type Silent Fortress is negligible, since fire-type magic has a relatively small effect on Rock-type magic.

"It seems this is still a bit tricky."

Hearing Claire and Linslet's conversation, Fiana nodded and said, "Although I saw Velseria's strength at the Elf Sword Dance Festival, so much time has passed, and people do grow."

Claire nodded and said:

"Yes, Vercelia's elven magic armor [Silent Fortress] can not only fly in mid-air, but also has powerful defense and ranged attack capabilities. If we want to fight, apart from Youyou and Linslett, we have no other way to attack the Silent Fortress."

Hearing Claire call his name, Yuhaka, who was munching on bread, looked up at Claire and the others in confusion before continuing to eat.

Just as everyone was discussing how to deal with Velseria's Silent Fortress, there was a sudden knock on the door, and everyone stopped talking.

The group looked at each other, puzzled as to who would be looking for them at this time.

Then, Yuhaka, who was standing to the side, opened the door while biting into a piece of bread. Everyone then saw two members of the Wind King Knights. Claire and Linslet were quite surprised to see the two people in front of them.

These two members of the Wind King Knights were the same two members who fought alongside Alice against Yuhaka and the others. At this moment, they were still wearing bandages, looking as if they were injured.

Claire and the others looked quite surprised when they saw this.

"W-what happened? Why are there two of you? And what are the injuries on both of you?"

The two members of the Wind King Knights at the door exchanged glances, then looked at Claire and the others with a somewhat ashamed expression and said:

"Although we have no right to ask you for this, we really have no other choice..."

...............................................................

In Alice's room, Alice sat alone on the bed, hugging her knees, staring blankly at the elven ore that sealed her memories. The figure reflected in the elven ore was [Velcelia], the knight who had been Alice's ideal since childhood.

This morning, Alice did not attend the Wind King Knights' event as usual; this was the first time she had missed it.

Alice sat on the bed wearing polka-dot pajamas, her usual ponytail hairstyle down, letting her long hair flow freely on the bed.

Recalling what her sister had said yesterday, Alice couldn't help but clutch the pillow in her hand tightly.

Indeed, just as my sister said...

"Alice..."

[He's all talk and no action, but when it really comes down to it, he can't save anyone...]

"Alice....."

[The citizens eagerly awaiting the festival, the students with their magically imprinted robes, and most importantly, their knightly comrades...........]

"Alice............O皿O"

It's all my fault. If I had been stronger, things wouldn't have turned out this way...

"Yoyo headbutt!"

boom------!

With a loud crash, the door was blasted away by the powerful impact, creating a gust of wind. Alice, who was sitting on the bed, was also bewildered by the gust of wind. When she slowly looked towards the door, she saw Yuhaka with part of the door on his head, looking at her with an O皿O expression.

Upon seeing that it was Yuhaka who barged in, Alice blushed and looked flustered as she looked at Yuhaka and said:

"Huh? Huh?! Why, why is Youyou here?! And why is there a wooden plank stuck on her head? Wait! Isn't that wooden plank my door?!"

Hearing Alice's words, Yuhaka, whose horns were still partially stuck in the door panel, looked at Alice and said:

"Alice, don't open the door... O^O"

Alice's lips twitched when she heard Yuhaka's answer. Even if she hadn't opened the door, there was no need to break it down.

No! Now is not the time to think about this!

Just then, Claire and the others peeked out from the doorway, looking at the somewhat messy room, and said:

"Wow... Youyou's head is so hard... She can even break down a door?!"

"Hey! Claire, why is your focus so strange? Shouldn't you check if Youyou bumped her head on anything first?"

"Uh...you two, the Commander of the Knights is staring at us with a completely dumbfounded look on her face."

Upon hearing Fiana's words, Claire and Linslet, who were about to start an argument, turned to look at Alice, who was sitting on the bed. Alice was staring at them with the same dumbfounded expression that Fiana had described.

"Claire? Lindsay? Fiana? What are you all doing here?!"

Claire snorted at Alice's question, crossed her arms, and looked at Alice, saying:

"Hmph, it seems you still have the energy to ask questions, then I'm much more relieved."

"what???"

Hearing Claire's words, Alice looked completely bewildered. Clearly, Alice couldn't understand why Claire would say such a thing. Then, Claire's next sentence left Alice speechless.

"More important than all that, Alice Frangelt, come and be my teammate!"

Chapter 705 [Alice Joins the Team, and the Match Is About to Begin]

Upon hearing Claire's words, Alice stared at Claire with her mouth agape, clearly shocked by what Claire had said.

"What...what are you talking about?!"

"Huh? Didn't I just say I was inviting you to be our teammate?"

Alice, looking astonished, pointed at herself and said to Claire:

"You want me to join your team?!"

Hearing Alice's question, Claire nodded. After seeing Claire's answer, Alice shook her head resolutely and refused Claire's invitation.

"Sorry, that's impossible. I already have a team to fight alongside me—"

Before Alice could finish speaking, the two Wind King Knights members who had come looking for Claire earlier emerged from behind the door, looking at Alice apologetically and saying:

"Commander..."

Upon seeing her two teammates, Alice looked at them with surprise and said:

"You two sneaked out of the medical center?!"

Most importantly, both of them were still bandaged, clearly indicating that they were not fully recovered. If that was the case, they should have been prohibited from leaving the house. How did they end up here?

The two nodded shyly at Alice's words. However, they hadn't come here to show off their escape from the medical center, but to persuade Alice to join Claire's team.

Alice looked incredulous upon hearing their conversation, clearly not expecting that her teammates were trying to persuade her to join another team.

"Because we hope that the troupe leader can participate in the Elf Sword Dance Festival."
