Please stop persecuting your students!

I don't know how Nia interpreted this kind of straight male behavior as taking advantage of her, but Saki didn't care too much about it. He reached out and moved closer to the angry little cat. Under Nia's half-expecting and half-dissatisfied gaze, the palm that was originally moving towards her head suddenly sank down, and the sinful index finger touched the plain white dress that the girl was wearing today and lightly stroked the girl's lower abdomen.

"Not as comfortable as Nia's touch."

"Huh?! Oh? Oh, thank you..."

After all, they were a real couple, so this kind of contact that couldn't even be considered flirting wasn't enough to make Nia too surprised. Her face, which had been accusatory the moment before, now had a drunken blush, and the pair of ears under her hat kept shaking. But the next moment, Nia reacted and gave Saki a cat punch with her backhand.

"Don't change the subject! You clearly said you would accompany me today!"

Yes, this is the true meaning, the real intention hidden behind the roundabout way of using the topic.

This time, they went to Fordlan. Except for Nia, who was almost a fixed cat, no one else accompanied them. According to the original plan, after finishing the morning classes and strolling around the monastery at noon, they would continue north along the last route.

The journey of exploring along the unknown road with only two people was only half a day, but it could be regarded as a "small honeymoon" - this was the first time since they established their relationship that they had traveled without a real purpose (such as detonating the amplification tower, assassinating McPenny), and Kitty Cat had been looking forward to it for a long time...

The result is gone.

Saki went to beat up the kids at the NCO school, leaving her, his real girlfriend, and her first trip behind! Now he was trying to fool her with a few words. Just when Nia was being so nice to him—

"Don't be angry. I'll take you to another world tomorrow."

Nia raised her head with Saki's big hands rubbing on her head, and looked at the man with burning eyes.

"Only with me?"

"Well, it's just the two of us."

"Well..."

Since there is compensation...it is not unacceptable...

Saki looked at Nia quietly. Seeing the anger on her face gradually dissipate, he felt itchy in his heart. Amid the little girl's faint cry, he hugged this cute cat girl tightly and hugged her fiercely.

“Didn’t I tell you to be more greedy in this regard? You should have said ‘use the last time to date me as compensation’!”

"Is that so?!"

Nia was shocked. How could she seek benefits for herself in this way? !

A brand new door slowly opened in front of Nia. The girl blinked, kicked the door shut, condensed a water mirror to take a look at her current appearance, then pounced on Saki and started scratching his hair frantically. In the end, both of them sat down on the roof with messy hair, looking at the setting sun in the distance.

At this time, there is definitely no time to carry out Saki's research on the customs and folks of Fordlan. After the sun sets completely, they will go into Saki's different dimension, and this trip will most likely end like this.

The gains...can't be said to be completely fruitless. Although the research could not continue, Saki's reputation in the NCO academy did increase a lot.

Why was Byleth so respected and admired by the three prefects? It was because he stood up without hesitation when the prefects were being chased by bandits, and because he had the skills and courage to stop the bandit leader and protect Edelgard at the critical moment.

Strength, character, and wisdom. As long as one can meet any one of the three criteria, including character, strength, and wisdom, he can gain the respect of these students. Moreover, Saki has all three, and he successfully established his character with the help of this competition.

A young teacher who has traveled around the continent, is knowledgeable, humorous and powerful... Well, this is actually a very contradictory personality in this era, but it is enough at this stage. Such a personality is enough to gain the recognition and respect of students, and only after gaining respect can his ideas spread in this world.

Volume 764 Is your school really serious? ! : Chapter Chapter If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful thing; students will not listen to teachings unless they are punished

Including this time, Saki had only attended three classes at the monastery, but he still felt the difference between the students here and those at Tenjin Elementary School.

To put it in a positive way, the students here are generally older than those at Tenshin Elementary School (not counting the average age), and they are more open-minded and opinionated. To put it in a negative way, they... need to be disciplined.

Jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved, and students will not listen to instructions without being punished. These people are exactly what we are talking about.

Previously, Saki had wanted to use those stories to influence people subtly, but after two classes, there was no effect at all. In addition, with the information from Byleth, Surtis, and Lysitia, he came to the conclusion that except for a few students who would think a little more deeply, the rest of the students generally just listened to the story.

After listening, they said "oh", and then went on with their business, at most giving an insignificant comment like "Teacher Qi Xiao's sand painting is very beautiful". They had no interest in the story told by a teacher who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which was only slightly more detailed than the chronicle.

If the teacher could recreate the process of the "wars" he mentioned in detail, they might be interested in analyzing and discussing strategies and tactics. Unfortunately, Saki didn't know how to refine it... Use spiritual power to control the sand painting to recreate the battlefield composed of two-headed pixelated figures? The games of that era were not as expressive as those of later generations, and the military aspect was his blind spot, so he couldn't even write about it.

In this situation, no matter how much he talks, it will have little effect... However, as his personality is recognized by the students through this competition, the situation will change a little. The students recognize and respect him, which makes it easier for him to spread his private goods.

It is not to change the world's order or sow the seeds of a so-called 'revolution', but simply to reduce the speed at which the situation deteriorates further.

Yes, it is to slow down rather than prevent or eliminate it.

According to the information collected so far, the grassroots of Fódlan are relatively stable. Looking at Fagas alone, except for some areas with special natural environments, people can live and work in peace and contentment. However, many of the superstructure of the country, that is, the nobles, do not want to be content with the status quo. In this uneasy turmoil, which ones are simply the lords' hot-headedness, how much involvement the church, the dark movers, and the Adrestian Empire have in it, and what position they are in, still need to be drawn.

The base is stable, but the superstructure that controls the continent of Fodlan is in turmoil. Among the three monarchs, one is powerless and two died suddenly. The emerging nobles want to climb up, and the old nobles have ulterior motives. It is only a matter of time before unrest breaks out.

The most uncomfortable thing is that apart from the big goal of fighting against the Dark Agitators, Saki doesn't know which side to stand on regarding the situation in Fordlan. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to take action against these second-generation people of Fordlan to delay the outbreak of the war as much as possible.

Bringing soul transformation devices to launch a wave of mechanical deities to control the scale of the war is also a reasonable choice, but that will inevitably cause those who stir in darkness to retreat further.

That was a terrorist organization that had been active since before the establishment of the empire and still held a "nuclear bomb" in its hands. Even if he could suppress it for a while, could he suppress it forever? Did he really want to compete with the evil forces that had been around for more than a thousand years?

"It's the difference between planting a dud and having a labor pain..."

Saki looked down at the big cat that had sat in his arms at some point, but he didn't care. He rested his chin on top of Nia's head and squinted at the sunset that had disappeared outside the wall of the monastery. He put his hands into Nia's hair to keep warm, as if he felt cold as soon as he lost the sunlight... Although it was almost the same, Garreg Maku was located at the highest point of Fordlan, and the temperature difference between day and night was ridiculous.

In response to Saki's actions, Nia just snorted lightly, with a faint smile on her face. Her furry ears twitched from time to time. She looked at the sunset in the sky, leaned back, and after being silent for a while, as if she suddenly thought of something, she turned her head and asked:

"Teacher said before that the temperature in Fordlan starts to get warmer from the north, right?"

"Yes."

"So Fordlan is in the southern hemisphere?"

"So it seems to be true... Have you been reading any books on this subject recently?"

"Ah."

Nia responded, her face still full of confusion. Maybe at first she was just trying to find something to talk about, but halfway through she was still a little confused.

"But even though it's in the Southern Hemisphere, the calendar and seasons are still similar to those in the Northern Hemisphere?"

"Um..."

Saki thought for a moment and said jokingly:

"Maybe the people of Fordlan got the north and south wrong. Maybe the sun we see actually rises from the west."

"real?!"

Nia believed it on the spot and quickly thought about how to tell other students including Lysitia about this great discovery.

Saki silently felt the girl's thoughts, and finally sighed helplessly, secretly hugged Nia tightly, and then said:

"You're kidding. I've measured the magnetic field."

Isn't his cat a little too naive?

However, teasing your own cat like this will definitely come at a price. After a tooth mark appeared on his arm, Saki grinned and hugged the angry little girl to explain:

"This question is easy to understand. It's nothing more than that the establishment of the Imperial Calendar coincided with the winter of Fodlan, so it continued in this order."

"Why not just say that from the beginning?"

"But it's still fun to tease Nia~"

Nia: “?”

Listen! Is this human language?!

That being said, Nia didn't mean to get angry. She held the arm that she had just bitten, and looked down at the students who were passing by from time to time. Her thoughts gradually dispersed, and she looked like she was ready to start a new topic. Her big ears moved suddenly, and Nia lowered her head and looked at the classroom below, but she heard a cheerful melody coming from the classroom under their buttocks.

"Is this... singing?"

"Seems to be."

After listening for a while, Saki said uncertainly:

"It seems to be celebrating someone's birthday. It seems to be...Mercedes? Huh?"

Oh boy, Mercedes?

Saki was a little distracted, but Nia was slightly startled. She rested her head against Saki's collar, raised her head, and asked directly:

"When is the teacher's birthday?"

"Why? You want to celebrate for me?"

"Ok!"

Nia nodded and spoke frankly. As soon as she finished speaking, Saki gently pinched her face.

"I am very happy to have this feeling, but unfortunately, my birthday has already passed~"

"pass?!"

"In March~"

"Such an important thing should be said earlier!!!"

The blessing song sung by the students of the Blue Lion class echoed in my ears. The two people on the roof played around for a while, and when the song ended, they tore open a crack and left quietly after hearing cheers from below.

Volume 765 Is Your School Really Serious?! : Chapter Chapter Thinking Gradually Diligent

The Abbey, evening.

As usual, the Golden Deer class didn't even have a single group of people after class. As for the Blue Lions, as Saki and Nia had seen, they were celebrating the birthday of Mercedes, the only weak girl in the class with both strength and speed of E. The atmosphere in the class was very harmonious and joyful.

However, the current focus is still on the Black Eagle students, or more precisely, on those very few individuals in the Black Eagle students.

Edelgard and Hubert, the head of the Black Eagle class and its lieutenant. The two most powerful masters and servants in the future Adrestia Empire, were sneaking around in the woods near Garreg Mach. There was a warning magic barrier set up by Hubert around them to prevent someone from eavesdropping on them like before.

At this moment, Edelgard quietly raised her head and looked at the large monastery standing on the hilltop in the distance. She looked at the adjutant holding a letter with a black eagle on his shoulder. Seeing Hubert's serious face becoming more gloomy, she asked:

"Any news?"

"According to the informant, 'Teacher Qi Xiao' and two other unknown girls appeared in 'Antel City' in the territory of Fajaraslarfa."

"Larfa leader?"

Edelgard frowned. Isn't that a place east and south of Faerghus? Why would they go to Faerghus?

"Where's the time?"

"It was at three o'clock in the afternoon of the last class."

"You were still at the monastery at noon, but you went to Faerghus in the afternoon?"

Edelgard raised her eyebrows again. A normal knight group would need more than a day to cross the Orgrimmar Mountains at a slower pace. Yet, this man not only crossed the mountains in just three hours, but also made it all the way to the heart of Faerghus?

But on second thought, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. After all, that man survived the bombing of the "Spear of Light". It seems that he has some means of fast movement such as space movement and teleportation, or he actually has a pterosaur or griffin with an incredibly fast flying speed.

Anyway, at least it's a good thing to confirm that this person has the means to move long distances quickly. Besides...

"Two girls?"

"Yes, a purple-haired girl and another silver-haired girl, about eleven and fourteen years old."

'The latter should be the one I saw last time...'

Edelgard recalled the scene when she first met Saki in the monastery. The young-looking girl who was taking a nap on Saki's lap. Was there an even younger child besides her?

Most people would not think anything was wrong when seeing these two little girls, but Edelgard was different. After all, she had fought with Red Yama before. Judging from her appearance, Red Yama was only ten years old at most, or even less than ten years old. However, she was able to land hard from a height of dozens of meters, and she could also wield a katana similar to that used by the foreign peoples of Fordlan - similar to the katana used by the Blikids and the Far East. She could use quick slashes to eliminate the shock wave infused with the power of the emblem in an instant.

Not to mention the strange big and small rattan boxes used by the other party, one of which trapped Talese's magic, and the other had an effect similar to restoring physical strength indiscriminately and bringing additional benefits to specific objects?

The mysterious power, as well as the strength and aura that were in stark contrast to her appearance, were still fresh in Edelgard's memory when she faced the Red Enma.

Is this an ordinary little girl? How can there be such a terrifying little girl! This is clearly a humanoid monster whose threat is even greater than that of a high-level professional!

With this vivid case in mind, Edelgard did not look down on the other two girls who appeared beside "Teacher Qi Xiao" mentioned in the current intelligence report. She even suspected that "Teacher Qi Xiao", who was called "acting principal" by the Red Yama, might belong to a black evil organization that specializes in abducting such little girls and brainwashing them into combat weapons...

Whether it is evil or not is not the point for now, but the nature is probably similar. In any case, the other two little girls are definitely unusual!

As for the reason why the other party ran to Faerghus...Edelgard looked at her adjutant again.

"What did they do there?"

"...Shopping?"

"Shopping?"

"Two portions of frosted fructose, five portions of roasted Sibyl rhinoceros, thirty berry candies, two portions of evaporated milk pudding, fifteen portions of specialty roasted fish with mixed spices..."

Gulp ulp ulp ulp~~~~~~~~

Hubert stopped announcing the dishes and looked up indifferently, only to see that his master had turned around and was looking at the large monastery in the distance, leaving him with only the back of his head. The faint chirping of insects around him disappeared at some point, leaving only a low whimpering sound coming from the girl's belly, which continued.

There was no other way. They had been trying to track down Teacher Qi Xiao, and then they rushed here to meet the informant's messenger, so they didn't have time to eat. In addition, when Edelgard was young, or more precisely, during the Rebellion of the Seven Nobles, her relatives took her to Faerghus for refuge. Although her memory of that time was vague, she would inevitably react when she heard the names of the food she had come into contact with. But the question was... how to deal with such an embarrassing situation?

After all, she was the future king of a country, and he would serve her all his life. He would never let her be humiliated like this. After a brief thought, Hubert put his hand on his abdomen, and the slightly corrosive magic penetrated into his body. The stimulating magic stirred his internal organs, and finally...

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle…

A low roar echoed through the woods. Edelgard was slightly startled, and then she let out a barely audible laugh. Seeing this, Hubert maintained an awkward yet elegant demeanor and coughed lightly:
