Please stop persecuting your students!

"No one says that adults must drink?"

Someone rolled his eyes, used his spiritual power to shake off the rain on his body, felt the moisture filling the cabin, looked at the girl beside him who was also concentrating on feeling something, and asked:

"Is this all right now?"

"Yeah! This is enough!"

Nia's eyes were so bright that for a moment she even ignored the fact that Saki was still beside her. The two-color crystal on her chest under her jumpsuit was shining. Her sight was drawn to the clean water she had placed in various places on the ship, which quickly evaporated under her control and spread silently in the humidity on the ship.

In this world, there is such a thing as 'Aether'. And it is not an unproven concept, but a real energy that already has quite mature technology. And the Blades and Arus are naturally able to use and control this ubiquitous energy. In other words, unless they are restricted by things like the Aether Blockade Network, the Blades do not have the concept of a blue bar, and they are all perpetual motion machines.

Like conventional fantasy themes, ether has different attributes. In addition to the most basic ether, there are seven other attributes: water, fire, wind, earth, ice, thunder, and darkness. It is also affected by the environment. In the current weather, the ether of thunder and water in the air is directly overflowing...

As Saki said, there was a lot of humidity, and this was the opportunity they had been waiting for.

As two blades that can manipulate the aether in the atmosphere, it would be fine in a fierce battle, but under normal circumstances, if Nia wanted to use the energy she controlled to invade another blade, there would still be a certain possibility of being exposed. But now with the environment as a cover, Nia can fully exert her own power.

After a while, the energy that had silently spread throughout the entire salvage ship captured the figure of a certain man. Nia moved her fingers slightly, and the water-attributed ether carrying her unique power of rebirth, along with the other person's breathing, successfully penetrated into his body. During the whole process, neither Zhen nor Mie, nor the Yi Lan Zhan Tie who had just walked up to the two of them and joined the wall combination not long ago, were able to notice it.

At least, that was how Nia felt. After secretly using the power of rebirth to slightly increase and activate the real cells, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand heavily.

Become!

"Success?"

Seeing this, someone asked subconsciously, and then wanted to slap himself.

"Success—ugh!"

Nia replied subconsciously, and then she was suddenly startled. Her ears suddenly stood up, her petite body tensed, and she turned sideways at an extremely slow speed to look at the familiar figure beside her.

If she thought about it carefully, it had only been ten short days, but she had already gotten used to the presence of such a person by her side...and it was precisely because of this habit, coupled with some little thoughts that even she herself could not understand, that this impulsive girl subconsciously ignored the need to hide in front of the person next to her and used her power as a cannibal.

In this world, normal humans would never be able to use special powers without a blade. Saki must have known this. In other words...

'Exposed!'

The girl rarely jumped up and down impatiently like usual. She held the belt around her waist with her hands down, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and lowered her head, revealing the look of a girl in a dilemma. She didn't even dare to turn around and face the man next to her. A strong fear crept up her spine.

Although she had hoped several times before that something would serve as an opportunity for her to no longer hide and show her true self in front of Saki, she had never thought that it would be revealed in such a way, when she was completely unprepared mentally, exposing her inhuman side.

What would Saki...think of her?

The only Blade that can coordinate Blades can be a cannibal. If exposed, she will be hunted down by Arcadia, the "Country of Justice". It's like a cursed identity... After knowing all this, how will Saki look at her?

"Will I be hated..."

Will...Is this place where I live now lost?

Nia's breathing was a little rapid, but she didn't have the courage to look directly at Saki's expression.

But for some reason, I felt strangely...relaxed?

Yes, that's right, relax. It's as if with the exposure of his identity, the guilt of hiding and deceiving Saki has been mostly removed, and the whole person is relieved. It's as if he is still expecting this person to say in his usual relaxed and unfocused tone, "Hey, don't be nervous, I've seen your true identity a long time ago", or to say in a serious tone, "It's also the teacher's responsibility to accept the other side of the student."...

Like~

"If it could really unfold that easily... that would be great."

Ever since she became conscious, reality has never developed in the direction she expected. This time will be no exception, right?

And the fact... is exactly that.

'Look how frightened the poor child is.'

Seeing Nia clenching her fists and trembling all over in the heavy rain, someone who had been keeping his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist and on guard had this thought in his mind.

He could also understand Nia's excitement. After all, they were very similar in their recklessness. If he hadn't emphasized many times how invincible he was when he was fully liberated, this guy might have really dared to poison her in person. Now that he finally found the opportunity to take action, it would probably be impossible for her to be patient.

But unexpectedly, Nia was so excited that she forgot that he was watching her. In the excitement, she used the power of the blade. The ten days of hiding became useless. She looked very scared.

The key point is that he asked subconsciously, but now it seems that even pretending to be stupid has become a problem... He can't think too long. At this time, staying silent for a long time will make Nia more panicked.

He is naive and reckless, but becomes cowardly at special moments. No one else can compare to him.

"So... what should we do?"

Volume 69: Young Men and Girls and Their Precious First Time: Chapter Chapter "Vice Principal Saki wants her to confess, the survival battle of ordinary people"

"Um..."

Just play dumb!

After a quick thought, someone came to a conclusion and said:

"The Blade is really amazing~"

Nia: “!!!”

It was just a simple sentence. Even though Saki deliberately said it in a more relaxed tone, it still made Nia's cat body tremble wildly. She felt like she was about to cry. Someone quickly suppressed the evil taste in her heart and quickly continued the second half of the sentence.

"I didn't expect that power could be transmitted from such a distance~"

"...ha?"

Hearing this, Nia stopped trembling, stopped clenching her fists, and turned her head suddenly with a look of shock, while Saki also looked bewildered.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"...No, it's okay."

"Nothing... was found!"

It makes sense. Saki's knowledge of this world is limited to those books. He may know some relatively obscure knowledge, but his understanding of the Blades is still limited. He doesn't even know the concept of cannibalism. It's normal for him to think that this is the work of the White Tiger...

Nia touched her nose. For some reason, she felt a little regretful and fearful in her heart. Even she realized it. This feeling made her want to go crazy.

"I have no regrets at all!"

"...Isn't that enough..."

"what?"

"It's okay, go back to the room, I'll go for a walk and check on them."

"Oh~"

Because of her previous loss of composure, Nia couldn't wait to rush out after responding, and disappeared from Saki's sight as if she was escaping for her life, which made him shake his head helplessly.

He cannot take the initiative to point out Nia's identity, this is a matter of principle. He can say afterwards, "I actually knew it a long time ago," but the first person to point it out can only be Nia, otherwise it will easily cause an irreparable rift in the relationship between the two, which is not beautiful.

In fact, that was a very good opportunity just now, but it seems that the short ten days are not enough for this girl who has been hiding herself to be open and honest with herself...or Nia is not ready yet.

In other words, the time was too short and the chicken soup didn't have time to be poured into Nia's mouth.

Of course, Nia was just as worried as he was about the possibility that telling the truth would lead to a crisis of trust, and Saki had also considered this. In other words, both parties were most likely restrained by the same reason and were reluctant to speak up.

But it was impossible to give in. The only thing she could do was to set up a trap to make Nia confess her identity. In other words -

"Vice Principal Saki wants her to confess, an ordinary person's survival brain battle"!

It probably means this.

In fact, he had secretly set up a small trap for Nia. Although it was a bit unfair to Nia, from the perspective of liberating his own combat power, this matter was quite necessary.

After all, confession can be divided into two situations: "confession comes naturally after the knot in one's heart is untied" and "confession is forced due to external influence"...

“I am also a villain.”

Saki talked to himself, but did not go to check on the situation of Shin and Mie as he had said just now. Instead, he leaned against the wall and looked sideways at the water curtain, howling wind and thunder outside the window.

If there was anything to regret, it was that the sound insulation of the ship was not good, at least it could not block the continuous thunder. Although the flight was relatively stable, it could not be said that there was no shaking at all. If it were not for the above two points, Saki would really like to find a corner by the window to sit down, get some fast food that was not nutritious but had not been touched for a long time, and enjoy this scene that looked like the end of the world through the glass.

The feeling of having the world ending outside the window but living and working in peace and contentment inside must be quite pleasant.

But unfortunately, not only can he not stay out of the matter and keep out of it, but he is now in the core of the storm. Even... he has to move towards a more central position, the center of the storm.

...However, a life with a little excitement has a different flavor, and there’s nothing wrong with that, right?

"Eh? You are——"

......

"...?"

"what happened?"

"Do not..."

One of the three people leaning against the wall, Zhen frowned slightly. Although the changes in his facial expressions were concealed by the inhuman mask, the partner who had been dealing with each other for hundreds of years still noticed the emotional changes of his teammate and asked about it at the first time.

However, I really don’t know how to explain this problem.

Just now, he vaguely felt that his strength had slightly increased in this environment. Although it was not obvious, it was indeed there, and it was an all-round improvement. The cells that made up this incomplete body seemed to have finally found a rain after a long drought, and they cheered in this environment rich in water and lightning ether.

It was a strange phenomenon. Each cannibal had his own "deadline", and his "deadline" had come a hundred years ago. Even though his team had excellent blades that could control aether and the technology left over from the old kingdom to help him adjust his body, this body was still "aging" day by day. If someone else checked it, it would not be impossible for them to conclude, "How can you still be alive?!"

However, today, just now, I inexplicably felt a refreshing feeling as if my whole body was moisturized, and strength was slowly emerging.

The quantity is a little small. If I have to describe it, it would probably be...

After a long drought, a drop of rain falls - one drop.

And this feeling is fleeting, like an illusion.

If it weren't for the fact that his body was already in extremely bad condition, and his ability made him extremely sensitive to changes in himself, he wouldn't have even noticed this little change. That being said, this change that looked like it was beneficial to the body made Zhen frown.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. This is the first time such a special situation has occurred in hundreds of years, so he cannot help but take it seriously. Having said that, after all, he has never encountered such a situation in hundreds of years, and now he has no clue.

...Just think of it as the excitement before the final plan begins.

Zhen shook his head, discarded several possibilities that popped up in his mind, and didn't pay much attention to them.

He has full confidence and trust in his own strength and the strength of his partners.

Then, Zhen stopped thinking about the fleeting change just now and became a quiet handsome man. Even the "possibility" that flashed through his mind was deliberately ignored by him and he no longer thought about it.

Or rather, I don't want to think too much.

......

It happened suddenly...

Volume 70: Young Men, Girls and Precious First Times: Chapter Chapter Analysis

The boy with brown hair and golden eyes, who was considered the shortest among the humans on the boat, appeared at some point and spoke. He looked at Saki who was looking at the scenery and asked:

"Are you from...the Guard?"

"Yo~ Lex... huh?"

"Eh? You know me?"

The young man in front of him pointed at him, looking at the tall but unfamiliar man in front of him with a look of hunger and astonishment—

Then he wiped his nose, put his hands on his hips, and looked smug.

"Hehe~ Could it be that my name is already known to everyone in the Chamber of Commerce?"

“I don’t think it’s well-known.”

Someone touched his chin, with an awkward yet polite smile on his face, and ruthlessly shattered the boy's fantasy, which was not sure whether it could be considered naive or not.

"But my personal habit is to do a good job of preliminary investigation before doing a job, so I consulted the captain in advance, and then he mentioned you... That's pretty much the process."

"I see."

The boy scratched the back of his head, not quite understanding what was said, but he probably also heard from these words that this person seemed to be a very serious person? But he didn't seem difficult to deal with... Well, at least compared to this employer, he felt much better.

"that..."

"My name is Saki."

Saki stretched out his hand. The boy was stunned for a moment and stretched out his hand as well. After shaking hands with Saki, the boy smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of creature's leather glove came from.

"My name is Lex... uh, you already know me without any introduction? Haha~"

The palms of their hands touched and separated immediately. Saki looked at the boy in front of him. He was different from other children of the same age. He did not show the awkwardness that should be expected of this age at all. Although his words and actions were still a little childish due to his appearance, he was generally a "little adult". He smiled and started the conversation.

"The captain thinks highly of you, Lex. He says you are one of the best among the salvors."

"Hehe~ It's okay. I'm confident that I won't lose to anyone in terms of salvaging skills~!"
