Just a magical girl who picks up trash

“Swish~~~”

The silver-white chains suddenly broke through the magic light and rushed in all directions. The hard steel spikes on the top of the chains were like stakes and inserted into the ground fiercely. At the same time, Amy, who was wearing a purple snake-scale skirt that only covered her chest and thighs, appeared in front of Werner again.

"Pfft~~~"

At this time, an external voice was heard, asking us to ignore it again. In the eyes of everyone, Amy had already defecated: her appearance had not changed, but her long silver-white hair had turned light purple after the transformation, and extended from waist-length directly to the ground. Her lifeless eyes were covered by a purple eye mask, on which were clearly engraved lines like snake scales and vertical pupils.

"Servant: Rider (Medusa), I am here to attend!"

The nonsensical funny words froze in an instant, and the girl, who seemed to have killed all her emotions, immediately raised her head. Even with the blindfold on, Werner could clearly feel as if a pair of chilling eyes were staring at her. Even through the armor, she felt her whole body stiff... Not only that, at this moment, all the audience and knights, including her, both men and women, clearly felt a strange temptation emanating from Amy silently, as if it was full of... fatal temptation!

"Is this... the charm of a succubus?"

Xueli woke up instantly and muttered to herself in confusion, but then shook her head.

No, it wasn't the allure of the demons, but a different kind, as if beauty carried danger, and within that danger, a divine, holy aura that made people yearn for it. Rather than saying that the person standing before him was an enchanting beauty, it would be better to say...

"Originally a goddess... the Fallen Snake Princess? What is that...?"

Her originally clear eyes had become filled with complex colorful star patterns at some point. Staring at the girl in the field, Xueli's eyes suddenly showed a deep shock. As for what she saw... that was a story for later. Let's watch the game first!

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, let's get started!"

Although it sounds like a long process to transform twice, it actually didn't take that long. In addition, Werner himself was silently gathering light elements and ready to attack at any time. Therefore, he didn't have any extra opinions about it. He just nodded lightly, and then the next second, he disappeared from the spot without any signs. Of course, he was not the only one who disappeared at the same time. Amy, who was originally standing on the ground, also disappeared at the same time.

"Shhhh~~~"

Three chains wrapped around iron stakes shot out from all directions towards a corner of the stadium, and the shining figure there flashed by in just a moment before appearing again in the other direction. The spear in his hand also suddenly stabbed towards the air, but was instantly blocked by a chain.

"Bang~~~"

The light shattered, which was the reaction caused by the splash of magic power. When the iron stake collided with the spear of light, the two of them immediately retreated several meters at the same time.

"Shua~~"

With the golden wings spread out behind him, Werner flew into the sky without thinking. At the same time, as the wings behind him spread out, countless golden feathers shot down like sharp swords.

"Shuashuashua~~shuashuashua~~"

Countless golden feathers fell from the sky, like golden raindrops in the sunlight. However, the destructive power caused by such raindrops was obviously extremely shocking. Each piece would leave deep cracks on the ground. However, among these countless cracks, a purple figure was moving around very flexibly. Its speed was so fast that only afterimages could be seen. It dodged left and right, but in the moment of pause, the silver-white chain had already flown out of his hand, wrapped around his sword and fiercely stabbed Werner in the sky.

"Ding~~"

The sword stake was easily deflected by the spear of light, but in that instant of dazzling light when Werner reacted, a figure had already appeared silently behind him... and kicked!

"Bang~~~"

A huge force suddenly came from his waist, and Werner was smashed to the ground as if fate had fallen. However, he reacted instantly by rolling over and standing up from the ground. Without saying a word, he started to use his ultimate move: pray!

"Divine Thunder...Judgment!"

"Boom~~"

Angry golden lightning flashed across the sky, as if a thunderbolt judgment might fall at any moment. However, at this moment, Amy instantly appeared directly above him, and without hesitation, she placed her left hand on the eye patch.

"Using a big move? Don't even think about it!"

As he said this, the blindfold was pulled up slightly, and the dark purple pupils that were like rectangles in the purple-red pupils suddenly looked deeply at Werner below.

"?!"

In an instant, an invisible force descended upon him. The moment Werner saw the other party's strange gaze, he was shocked to find that he was completely unable to move. He could only show a look of horror at this moment. However, this was not the end, because right after releasing this move, Amy turned around and flew high into the sky.

Escape? Not really!

"Wow~~~"

Silver-white chains were ringed around her, and Amy slowly released her hands and took their place in a pure white rein.

Light, filled with sacred pure white light, shone in the sky at this moment. At this moment, not to mention the arena, even in the imperial city far away, one could clearly see the light in the sky that seemed like a second sun.

And then... falling!

"Xi Lu Lu~~"

Above the sky, amidst the light, a flawless white Pegasus with wings on its back descended from the sky. While framing its goddess-like master, it also rushed down directly towards the "petrified" Werner below with an unstoppable drive.

That was Amy's ultimate move, and it was also the Noble Phantasm of the Heroic Spirit summoned by the Class Card she was using at that moment!

Its name is...

"Bellerophon!"

74. Poaching?!

A battle that was merely a preliminaries ended in such a shocking scene. The audience did not recover from their shock until the referee announced the winner. By then, Amy was no longer in the original preparation seat. Instead, right after the game, she was dragged to the highest viewing platform by her sister... Well, people with backers are so tough!

"So, this is my sister Amy, and I'm also the candidate I nominated for Guardian Knight. Please take good care of her from now on!"

Pointing to Amy, who had already untransformed and was now standing obediently beside her, Ai Xue introduced her with a tone of immense pride. However, her words were not greeted with the welcome she had imagined. Instead, the members of the brave team looked at each other, and finally, the elf girl, who was also a girl, was the first to speak out what everyone was thinking at the moment:

"Are you sure she's a Guardian Knight, and not...our new member?"

His gaze was not towards Ai Xue, but towards Xue Li who was standing beside him. Xue Li was obviously a little surprised. She looked at Amy who was now well-behaved and looked completely different from the one she had just fought. She immediately shook her head and said,

"She is indeed a Guardian Knight, and she didn't even exist during the Hero Selection Test. But I think now, you won't object to Amy being a Guardian Knight, so I can't say I'm being partial!"

Directly appointing Amy as a member of the Guardian Knights, if this move was proposed at the beginning, it would definitely not be recognized by the Brave Team. After all, regardless of what the heroes' mission is, as strong men, they look down on those who are not as strong as themselves... Of course, this is not contempt, but simply a difference in circles!

However, the situation was completely different now. Amy had defeated Werner, the Vice-Captain of the Glorious Knights, with her own undisputed strength, fully proving her power to everyone... Not to mention the audience, even the Brave Squad had clearly changed their perspective on Amy. Therefore, if she were nominated as the Guardian Knight at this time, naturally no one would object... No, not only would no one object, but...

"Your name is Amy, right? How about coming under my wing? If we work together... it should be perfect!"

To be honest, when this sentence was spoken, the whole scene was undoubtedly filled with coldness, because the person who said this sentence was none other than the captain of the brave team and the strongest person: Zun Tian!

However, when Zuntian said this, the whole scene was silent as if the pause button was pressed. Xueli frowned in dissatisfaction, and the other members of the brave team looked at Zuntian in surprise. Ai Xue, who was originally smiling and showing off her sister, also turned cold in an instant.

"Captain, what do you mean?"

The questioning tone came out of Ai Xue's mouth without any courtesy. To be honest, the fact that Ai Xue, who was recognized as the best-tempered among the brave team, showed such an expression was enough to show how angry she was at the moment. After all, the matter of who Amy would be the guardian knight had already been determined, and Amy was Ai Xue's sister, and there was obviously no dispute about that.

Who in the Brave Squad wouldn't want such a powerful magician as their guardian knight? Everyone wanted it, but everyone knew that Amy would definitely follow Ai Xue, so they tacitly kept silent. However, when Zun Tian spoke up, the atmosphere in the entire team suddenly became a little awkward.

"No...Xiaoxue, you..."

"Please call me by my name, we are not that familiar!"

Zuntian has always known Ai Xue very clearly about his purpose, but at the same time, because she had no such idea or was not attracted to the other party at all, she had always kept her distance from him. However, she never thought that her blind tolerance would allow the other party to target her sister. This is obviously something Ai Xue absolutely cannot tolerate... Her sister is everything to her, even if he is a hero... it is not acceptable!

"Okay, Ai Xue, listen to my explanation!"

Zuntian was no fool, and naturally knew that such a sudden poaching was completely disrespectful to Ai Xue... No, it should be said that it was already an insulting act. However, even in this situation, he still said so, so he naturally had his own reasons:

"You see, both of us are swordsmen by vocation, but we are essentially different!"

Zun Tian explained calmly:

"My talent, 'Brave', is purely melee. Basically, I'm a complete melee fighter. Because of this, my targets for Guardian Knights this time are likely those with ranged attacks and strong mobility!"

This point is self-evident to everyone, and then Zun Tian pointed at Ai Xue and said:

"Let's talk about you, Ai Xue. Although you are also a swordsman, you are a magic swordsman proficient in fire magic. You already have a double-specification bonus. In fact, what you need most is a defensive or auxiliary guardian knight, so..."

So it goes without saying that compared to Ai Xue, Amy is more suitable for his side. After Zun Tian's words, all the brave warriors immediately showed thoughtful expressions. Obviously, his words have been heard by everyone. Only Ai Xue did not even hesitate after hearing Zun Tian's words and snorted coldly:

"Don't even think about it. My sister can only be my guardian knight. No one else can take her away!"

Although what Zuntian said does make sense, don't think that she doesn't know the other person's character. You must know that her sister Lei Da is not a decoration. Ever since she brought Amy up, her eyes have never left Amy. She will not let her sister become the guardian knight of such a person... No, no one else can do it except herself!

"Aishe, this is not something to be willful about!"

The hero's strategy concerns the life and death of the entire continent. Standing on such a righteous cause, Ai Xue's words were obviously unreasonable, so Zun Tian naturally had reason to rebuke her in the name of the hero:

"You are a hero. Don't act like a child. You should consider the overall situation. Do you understand?"

The earnest words were as if he was teaching the younger generation in his team, but unfortunately Ai Xue... didn't appreciate it at all!

"Then I quit!"

"Ugh?"

"Xiao...Xiaoxue?"

"Wha...what?"

"No, how did it get to this point?"

"you……"

"No need to say it!"

Ai Xue took a deep breath, then immediately raised her head and looked at Zun Tian, ​​who had an ugly expression on his face, and said without any hesitation:

"Compared to the interests of the country, my sister is more important. So if you use this kind of thing to pressure me, I tell you, Brave Master, this Brave Master... I, Ai Xue, don't want it!"

The atmosphere instantly turned cold because of Ai Xue's words.

75. The Prophet's Hero

"..."

Ai Xue's words were undoubtedly shocking, of course not the positive kind, but the negative type. Therefore, when her angry words just fell, the members of the brave team who were originally trying to persuade the peace were all stunned at this moment. After they reacted, the expressions on their faces suddenly changed drastically.

Brave man... This position is not something that anyone can hold. To be called a brave man is not just about having talent or strength, but it is... destiny!

Long ago, after the previous hero sealed the demons, the word "hero" became the continent's strongest reliance against the demons. This time, it was the same because they sensed the demons' restlessness. Therefore, more than ten years ago, the prophet lineage of the Fenggu tribe who lived in seclusion in the remote mountains gave an answer to the pleas of various forces on the continent:

"To defeat the Demon King, only a brave warrior destined by heaven can succeed!"

"The name of the hero is bestowed upon you, and you must find it yourself!"

"There are many heroes, but only one can eliminate the threat of the Demon King!"

"Go and search, search for the brave among the crowd; among the brave... search for the light of salvation!"

The hero is not just one person, but multiple beings like team members. This is also natural. After all, the demons are a race, not just one or two demon kings. It is obviously unrealistic for a hero to single-handedly fight his way into the demons and solve the demon king as written in the story. Therefore, after receiving these prophecies, various countries and races naturally began to work together, and finally the plan to form a hero was started, led by the most powerful Pernachi Empire!

Following the clues given by the prophet, they found young heroes who were still infants or had not grown up yet. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, their identities were concealed but they were given the title of heroes. Only after they grew up could they go to the imperial capital to accept the challenge and then become official heroes!

In order to make the brave team stronger and to better command the entire team, the Pernachi Empire, after finding brave men from various countries, immediately used the methods of summoning brave men from other worlds recorded in the classics. After years of preparation and failed attempts, it finally succeeded in summoning brave men from other worlds in recent years. This can be said to have added an important chip to the already anticipated prospects!

In fact, in this world dominated by magic, it is obvious that the prophet is not a charlatan. Therefore, more than ten years later, after the members of the brave team were introduced and summoned to the royal capital, they naturally completed their respective training and gained their respective talents. After numerous tests, they finally lived up to expectations and broke through the siege, becoming true heroes from the original brave candidates!

That's right, the heroes have already been determined. The so-called election of heroes was held before only to clear the names of these people. Therefore, in fact, more than ten years ago, all forces had already had a definite answer to the heroes, and they were just waiting for them to grow up, destroy the demons, and eliminate the huge threat of the Demon King!

However, right now, this brave team that was just established for less than a few months is suddenly facing the crisis of breaking up: As one of the brave warriors, the magic swordsman Ai Xue actually plans to quit the brave team directly and give up her brave responsibilities!

How could this possibly be? Not to mention that the members of the Heroic Team had already been determined, no one could be missing. Just to mention that among the heroes from various nations on the continent, only Ai Xueke was the sole candidate for the Pernachi Empire's Heroic title. Even Zun Tian was merely summoned from another world, so Ai Xueke's existence was equivalent to the Pernachi Kingdom's Heroic Symbol!

Once she quits the team, it means that the Pernaki Empire has also withdrawn from this Demon King crusade. Being branded as a deserter is the least of her worries. The most crucial thing is that if the Demon King is truly annihilated, then the Pernaki Empire, which has made no contribution, will obviously lose all the mazes and spoils obtained after conquering the Demons. Such a result... is obviously unacceptable to the Empire!

So it’s not a small matter, but a very, very… big matter!

"Xiaoxue, are you... serious?"

Ai Xue's attitude was too firm, and for a moment Zun Tian stood there as if petrified. He originally thought that if he used moral principles to blackmail Ai Xue into giving up Amy, he would be able to successfully do so. After all, he had been in this world for such a long time, and he also fully understood how great a threat the Demon King posed to various countries, and he was also very clear about how strong the sense of honor was in the hearts of those who were chosen as heroes.

It could be said that as long as it was to fight the Demon King, no one would blink an eye even if they were asked to die on the battlefield right now... However, even such a determined person suddenly spoke out against him, a true hero, and even threatened to quit the team. This was really...

After being stunned, he immediately felt that his authority was challenged. Anger flashed in Zuntian's eyes and he was about to lose his temper, but he was suddenly discovered by Xueli who noticed it first. She interrupted him and asked Ai Xue:

"You should know how irresponsible what you just said was. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Strictly speaking, such behavior is equivalent to directly betraying the trust of the entire country and is tantamount to treason. Xueli understands this, and Ai Xue naturally understands it too, but...

"I'm sure!"

The words came out of Ai Xue's mouth with decisiveness and without any hesitation.

"If you can't even protect my sister, how can you talk about protecting the country and being a top-notch hero?"

Of course, Ai Xue had never thought of giving up the responsibilities she had been upholding since childhood, so after a pause, she continued:

"Of course, please rest assured, Princess. I understand the fundamentals, so I don't intend to give up my identity as a hero... I will conquer the maze and the demons as an independent hero, and I can also cooperate with the brave team in combat. But... I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to be their comrade or teammate!"

If a team cannot even achieve basic trust, then the existence of the team is obviously unnecessary. And it is obvious that Zuntian’s character did not win the favor of Ai Xue’s newcomer. Xueli saw it, everyone in the Brave Team saw it, and Zuntian... naturally saw it too!

"Aishe, you're going too far!"

76. Can the person concerned be allowed to say a few words?

"Aishe, you're going too far!"
