Just a magical girl who picks up trash

Perhaps this introduction is a little bit wrong, but considering the form of this world, this is obviously the most reasonable explanation. Although Amy always felt that something was wrong after the transformation, after putting on this armor, she undoubtedly felt at this moment... the feeling of power!

"Sister, continue?"

She tilted her head and made her usual cute gesture, but because of the mask, it was obvious that there was no cuteness at all. After all, Amy now undoubtedly looked like a warrior... a knight!

"Uh...ah? Oh, keep...keep going!"

To be honest, Amy's move was too sudden. Who would have thought that her sister could actually activate her talent directly in the battle? Who would have thought that her lovely sister would have such a talent. Although it looks powerful, it does not look like an armor that a girl should use at all. However, it is obvious that these are not the point at this moment. The point is to compete... continue!

"Bang~~~"

Wearing the red Kuuga armor, Amy felt like a fish finally released back into the water. The only feeling she had was... exhilaration, an incomparable exhilaration. And it was precisely in this exhilaration that she, who had originally intended to attack, was surprised to find herself in front of her sister the moment she moved forward. The speed was so fast that she couldn't even react. Naturally, Ai Xue also looked at her sister who had suddenly appeared before her with a narrowed gaze, and then...

The enemy is right in front of you, how will you react?

Answer: Punch!

The result didn't need to be elaborated on. Facing Ai Xue, Amy almost subconsciously extended her fist, as if she had even prepared for this unskilled move to be blocked and counterattacked. In fact, after a moment of hesitation, Ai Xue did so. However...

"Bang~~~"

"Ugh?"

"Boom~~~"

The seemingly insignificant fist landed heavily on the long sword in Ai Xue's hand. According to Ai Xue's plan, she should have blocked the fist with the long sword in her other hand at this moment. However, before she could get this opportunity, a huge force like a mountain crashed over, which made Ai Xue stunned for a moment. Then when she reacted, she had turned into a meteor and flew out.

"Bang~~Boom~~"

It was a real meteor. The fiery meteor mercilessly broke through the magic circle set up by Xia Lu in advance and rushed into the sky, leaving behind only a broken shield, a spider-web-like crack centered on Amy and spreading to the entire arena, and... a stunned Xia Lu on the side.

This scene lasted for nearly three minutes, until a scream broke the silence:

“Sister…sister?!”

She misjudged her own strength, causing the punch to be a bit too hard. When Amy came to her senses, she found that her sister's "thread" and breath were no longer in front of her. This made her panic instantly, because everyone has breath and threads, and if there is no breath and thread, then there is only... a dead person!

Did I kill my sister with one punch?

A thought of not daring to believe it completely popped up in Amy's mind. But before she could get scared, Xia Lu, who was in a daze, calmed her down before she could panic:

"Calm down, little Amy, calm down. Your sister just flew out. Don't worry, she's not dead!"

Of course, that's what she said, but it's hard to say whether he was killed after flying out. Xia Lu obviously didn't dare to guarantee this. After all, that punch just now... was really too shocking!

When she thought of this, and looked at Amy who had already released her transformation and was fumbling around in panic, Xia Lu only felt a toothache at this moment.

So, Sister Ai Xue, what kind of monster sister did you pick up?

"What kind of monster sister did you pick up!"

In the exclusive medical room of the imperial city, after more than ten priests tried their best to rescue her, Ai Xue finally woke up. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Xue Li's eyes full of worry and weirdness. To be honest, although she saw everything from the beginning to the end through the magic crystal, and even the moment Ai Xue flew out, she was the one who quickly summoned the secret guards to rescue her.

However, when Xueli led people to the arena to see the damage caused by Amy's punch, she couldn't help but have the illusion that "could this be an invasion by giant monsters?" But when she turned around again, who would have thought that such a shocking punch was actually thrown by the little girl who was curled up in Xia Lu's arms and seemed to have fallen asleep due to exhaustion?

"Uh...Xiaomi...how's Xiaomi?"

She lost consciousness after receiving Amy's punch. When she woke up, although Ai Xue could feel the pain as if all the bones in her body were broken, her first reaction was still her sister who made her extremely worried... Of course, she was not worried that her sister was injured, but she was worried about how guilty Amy must be after hurting herself like this!

"She's fine. She seems to have passed out because it was her first time using such a powerful power (talent). The priest has checked her... So it's a complete monster!"

At this point, even the calm Shirley couldn't help but sigh. "Isn't that a monster?" Putting aside that powerful punch, let's just say that afterward, Amy, who was in a coma, was examined by the priest, and their physical data was collected. However, the final result was... unpredictable!

Of course, being unpredictable means not knowing the true condition of the other party's body. However, you have to know that the magic used at that time was the same magic that had been used to predict for the hero. Even the summoned hero Zuntian from another world with his extraordinary talent could not escape the detection of this magic. However, this seemingly very cute little girl came up with the answer of "unpredictable".

In this situation...what else could it be but a monster?

"If she wasn't your sister, I would have suspected that she was the Demon King!"

After hearing that her sister was fine, Ai Xue could only smile bitterly.

My sister is so strong... Who would have thought!

38. Prepare for the Assessment

Ai Xue's injury was an accident, and it was obviously something no one had expected. And it was precisely because of her injury that she missed the first gathering and training of the brave team... Of course, Ai Xue obviously didn't care about this at all, especially in front of Amy... After all, as the culprit who injured herself, if she really cared, who knows how guilty her sister would feel!

You have to know that during this period of time alone, Amy has taken care of all the big and small matters of care for herself. Not only does she bring her tea and water and feed her medicine every day, but she is also not as resistant as before to start sleeping with her at night. At night, she is even more obedient and does not resist some of her behaviors... Well, although it seems that there were not many before, at least she would say a few harsh words at that time, but now she speaks like a good baby. Such an obvious change immediately makes Ai Xue enjoy it.

If she didn't have a mission to fulfill, she would have thought of just staying injured for the rest of her life!

Of course, it is obviously impossible to stay like this for the rest of her life. In fact, with Xueli's care and the concentrated treatment of several high-level priests in the imperial city, Ai Xue's injuries were completely healed in just three days. This was because she deliberately delayed and wanted to enjoy her sister's tenderness more. After three days, no matter how reluctant Ai Xue was, she could only bid farewell to her sister reluctantly, set foot in the maze where the brave team was currently located, and began her own upgrade experience.

At that time, the selection of the brave knight candidates, which had been postponed because of this incident, could finally begin, and Amy was ready to compete.

She had said before that she wanted to be Esche's guardian knight. However, it was obvious that one could not become a knight just by wanting to. First of all, one had to pass the examination to become a knight, and then participate in the selection competition as a knight. After all, she was a knight selected for the brave men, so this point naturally could not be taken lightly.

However, unlike the selection of heroes who have already been determined as candidates for heroes, because there are a large number of knights and many people who want to become the guardian knights of heroes, each knight selection is actually much more lively than the hero selection... Of course, what is more important is that the hero selection is generally not open to the public because of the confidentiality of the heroes before the upgrade. However, the knight selection is completely different and will be watched directly in front of all the people. It must be said that this is definitely a grand event for the Kingdom of Pernachi!

"Bang~~Bang~~Bang~~"

Brilliant salutes exploded in the air, spreading into fleeting colorful flowers. Cheers resounded throughout the entire arena. Commoners gathered together, nobles sat on their high seats, and there were even many royal family members who came to join in the fun. The third princess, Xueli, who was in charge of the selection at that time, sat on the high platform and began to read her opening monologue facing the cheering people below... Well, to put it bluntly, it was a traditional leadership speech.

There should have been a seat closer to her, and in fact, the figure next to her should have been giving the speech. However, her sister, who was supposed to be the true ruler of the empire, had long since disappeared, leaving Xueli to take on the responsibility herself... Although she seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of thing, and although she could probably guess where her sister had gone...

"Xiaomi, keep going! I'll be cheering you on from up there!"

In the players' preparation area, various figures wearing different costumes or armor were sitting or standing there in twos and threes. Some were chatting with each other, some were resting their eyes, and some were taking advantage of the time to practice their martial arts. It was like a last-minute retreat. Although the environment was as big as a football field, it seemed a little crowded and noisy at this moment.

In such an environment, Amy sat alone in a corner. Such sounds would ring in her ears from time to time, but the strange thing was that there was no one around Amy at all.

"Well, I'll try my best. Thank you, Lulu!"

Xia Lu, wearing an invisibility cloak, sat next to Amy, just sticking close to her and cheering for her best friend. Amy was naturally touched by this and nodded at her seriously. Guardian Knight was her biggest goal at the moment, and she naturally would not back down on this point. Xia Lu's encouragement made her feel less nervous and gave her a stronger belief.

"Then I'll go back first, otherwise Xue'er will complain about me again!"

The guy had no awareness at all that he had actually forgotten the important matter and let his sister take the blame. After saying these words, he disappeared from the spot after Amy nodded. When there was no more sound in her ears, Amy knew that the other party had left. She smiled and did not say anything. She just sat there quietly waiting for the game to begin.

"Hey, are you a knight too?"

However, just because Amy wanted to be quiet didn't mean she could really be quiet. A sudden voice suddenly rang in her ears. Amy immediately turned her head slightly towards the direction of the voice. After a moment of silence, after confirming what was said to her, she nodded slightly in response.

Those who can be here must have participated in the selection of Guardian Knights, so the other party’s question is obviously a bit redundant!

"Really? I don't think you look like one!"

It is true that Amy changed out of her white dress for today's game and put on a two-piece short skirt shirt with white top and black bottom specially prepared by Xia Lu, but despite this, her cute and childish appearance and harmless expression did not look like a knight at all. It would be more appropriate to call her a mascot. Amy was obviously self-aware of this, so she smiled and nodded but had no intention of communicating with the other party.

The refusal in this situation was too obvious, but the other party seemed not to notice it. Instead, he sat down not far from Amy after a few rustling noises. After looking at her carefully, he spoke:

"You don't look like a knight at all... By the way, do you really have the strength of a knight? How did you pass the test? Did you get in through the backdoor?"

The unintentional words made Amy slightly stunned, and for a moment she really didn't know how to react.

To be honest, my method of becoming a knight was very simple. I just punched one of the heroes and seriously injured him!

39. The game begins

The sudden appearance of a girl's energetic voice in her ears did not have much impact on Amy. After all, she had one by her side when she was in the imperial city (a certain Lu: Haha~~), so Amy immediately and politely chose to... ignore the continuous voice in her ears!

Well, since you can’t see it anyway, others won’t know whether you are paying attention or not!

Time passed by in the other party's chatter. Although Amy felt a little headache about the other party's excessive familiarity, thanks to this, from the other party's words that were more like monologues than chatting, she heard a lot of information about the game...information that she didn't know!

In order to demonstrate fairness, although Xue Li had already recognized Amy's strength, it was obvious that she did not tell her about the exam information in advance. Xia Lu simply had absolute confidence in Amy. Therefore, although Amy knew some of the specific matters of the trial, she was not very clear. At this time, she understood something from the other party's mumbling.

To put it simply, this trial is divided into three rounds. The first round is a melee among all the contestants, while the second round is the focus of maze exploration. As for the third round... it is undoubtedly a stage to show your own side: individual competition!

Of course, although it is said to be three trials, in fact, the final selection result is not determined by winning in the end. After all, this is only a knight selection, not a hero selection. Compared with the unique nature of the hero, the demand for knights is still relatively large. Therefore, the real purpose of this trial is actually to conduct the final scoring through three trials. Those who pass the final score will be awarded the Grand Knight Medal.

That's right, the Great Knight is not the most noble Guardian Knight. The reason is that although the strength and other aspects have reached the standards, to become a Guardian Knight is not just about having enough strength. The most important thing is to be the Guardian Knight of the heroes... You must get the recognition of the heroes. After all, you have to swear to follow and protect the other party. If the other party does not recognize you, then no matter how powerful you are, it will be useless.

Of course, Amy obviously doesn't have any worries about this!

"All knights, please assemble at the arena immediately. The match is about to begin... All knights, please assemble at the arena immediately. The match is about to begin!"

The signal for the first match arrived as expected, accompanied by the steady, magical sound resonating from the magic crystal. All the knights, whether chatting, exercising, or resting, stood up and walked towards the entrance. Amy did the same at the same time. The girl who had been chattering in her ear reached out and gently patted Amy's shoulder. Suddenly, she smiled and said, seeing her puzzled expression, "What are you talking about?"

"Haha~~ You're the first person who listened to all my nonsense without showing the slightest bit of disgust. Yes, I like you... If I run into you later when we enter, I'll go easy on you!"

Having said that, the other party immediately walked towards the entrance with a smile on his face. Seeing this, Amy could only blink speechlessly... So, you also know that you are disliked for talking too much nonsense, right?

Well, in fact, Amy was not really annoyed by the other party's nagging, but she couldn't see with her eyes, so in the eyes of the other party, it was obvious that Amy was "watching" her from beginning to end and listening to her words carefully. This alone obviously won her a lot of favor from the unknown girl.

Well... well, at least making a temporary potential ally is not a bad thing. With this thought in mind, Amy immediately followed the flow of people in front of her and walked towards the entrance.

The fact that she couldn't see anything obviously had some impact on Amy's fans, but the impact was not particularly great, especially now that she had awakened her beast-like fighting instincts. Amy could clearly feel the changes in the surrounding airflow and analyze the current situation.

As soon as she entered the arena, Amy undoubtedly became the focus of almost all the knights. The reason was of course very simple... She didn't look like a knight at all!

Although knights are not necessarily big, strong men wearing armor, in fact, many magicians have also applied for the title of knight. In this competition field with nearly a hundred people, there are also many beautiful and graceful magicians participating in the selection as knights. However, Amy's appearance is really... too non-threatening, just like a lamb that has strayed into a pack of wolves. In the eyes of everyone, she is undoubtedly trembling... Yes, yes, she is indeed trembling, they all saw it, so is she really scared?

No wonder!

Was Amy afraid? Of course not, but she was undoubtedly nervous. After all, in the past year, she had only come into contact with a handful of people. Now, she was suddenly facing so many strangers, all of whom were her opponents. It was natural to feel nervous, but nervousness did not mean timidity. Amy clenched her fists, and a hint of determination flashed across her face.

I... must become a guardian knight!

"Well then, everyone, please prepare..."

From directly above the arena, the referee, with a pair of wind wings on his back and a magic crystal in his hand, was watching the hundreds of knight contestants before him. In a voice that was not loud but carried throughout the entire arena, he slowly said:

"The rules of the competition require that no more than ten people must be standing or maintaining their willpower. The time limit is three hours. During the competition, please remember not to leave the competition area, do not seriously injure or kill anyone, and do not deliberately avoid the battle... If you abide by the above rules, please take the Knight's Oath. With this, the competition begins!"

"We swear in the name of knights!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, as if they had rehearsed it beforehand, all the knights present placed one hand across their chests and silently recited the declaration before the game in a majestic voice. Although Amy didn't quite understand it, she followed suit. As for the significance of doing so... who knows!

"Then, the game... begins!"

This was the last sentence the referee said. As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly turned into a gust of wind and disappeared into the sky.

"..."

At this moment... the whole place was silent!

40. A soft persimmon that no one can pick on

The silence lasted only three seconds. During these three seconds, the knight team, consisting of a total of 128 people, looked at each other and the knights around them. It seemed that after a brief exchange of glances, the next second, as if halfway through the rehearsal, a sudden magical light exploded in the entire arena.

"Boom~~~"

The colorful magic power exploded without any restraint in every corner of the stadium, followed by the passionate shouts of the knights. At the same time, the magicians in robes flew into the air in an instant, each using their own strengths. While being alert to their colleagues around them, they also began to recite spells silently, preparing to release their own magic to the ground below.

Chaos, incomparable chaos, extremely and particularly chaotic; even though Amy couldn't see, she could still clearly hear it from the noise and explosions around her. At that moment, she was also ready to fight at any time. After all, in such an indiscriminate melee, a weakling like her would usually be the first to be squeezed!

However, in reality...it wasn't!

"Kill~~~"

A knight's roar came to her ears, and a greatsword came slashing down with the sound of breaking wind. Amy wanted to turn around and fight back immediately, but suddenly found that the greatsword passed over her and slashed at a thief in black clothes behind her.

"Shhhh~~~"

Several wind blades pierced the air as they flew towards them. With her extraordinary hearing, Amy was ready to react instantly, but...

"Shhhh~~~"

A total of six wind blades passed through Amy's body as if avoiding her, and then swept through the surrounding knights, making them fall to the ground with screams.

"Boom~~~"

A huge fireball fell from the sky, and the moment it hit the ground, it turned into a ferocious flaming monster, roaring and rushing in all directions. However, it seemed as if it had not noticed Amy under it at all and had no reaction at all.

"..."

So, what exactly is going on?

Her original fighting spirit was instantly dissipated by this bizarre scene. Staring blankly at the chaotic scene before her, seemingly unrelated to her, Amy was completely bewildered, not knowing what was happening... Wasn't it supposed to be picking on the weak? Wasn't it supposed to be attacking herself first? Wasn't it supposed to be the protagonist who first looked down on her, then praised herself, only to be slapped in the face by her own wrath? So, what was going on here?

What the hell is the protagonist's plot? Why did I suddenly think of this?

Scratching her head, she obviously didn't quite understand the mysterious scene. But after thinking about it for a while, Amy instantly understood why these knights didn't attack her: they didn't dare!

Of course, they said they didn't dare to attack her, but in fact they were not afraid of her. After all, Amy had some self-awareness of how harmless she looked. Therefore, what they were really afraid of should be... the rating!

The three trials did not necessarily require a winner, because the final choice was not determined by winning or losing, but by everyone's performance in the three trials. From the outside, Amy was indeed a soft persimmon that was easy to bully, but it was precisely because of this that no one dared to attack her.

If you ask why... you bullied such a cute little girl in public, and you still want to be a knight? You want to pass the test and become a guardian knight?

Go dream!
