Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

"If you want to become a hero, you must first ensure that you can survive no matter how harsh the battlefield."

"The dead have no right to talk about courage!"

This was the true wisdom of a battle-hardened warrior teacher. Unfortunately, those young men only learned various skills from her, and the arrogance of disregarding even the gods, forgetting this most fundamental principle.

"Wow, is this the wisdom of the elderly? It really is like having a treasure in the family."

"Bah, what are you talking about? I'm actually sixteen years old now!"

"So, sister Scathach?"

"..."

This is time to chat about nothing.

But it is also the most relaxing and enjoyable period of time.

There is no need to ponder the crisis of world destruction, nor to reminisce about the eternal loneliness of being trapped in the land of the dead.

Just focus on doing what you want to do.

……

Three days later, Uruk.

When Scathach, who had recovered from her injuries, came to this city under the leadership of Shirataki, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others had also completed the mission of "Searching for the Clay Tablet of Destiny" and returned from Kusa City.

That was also a legendary experience.

Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, ruled over that city and once trapped Fujimaru Ritsuka and others in the underworld.

At the critical moment, an old man who called himself "Zhusulad" saved them... But considering the absolute power of the goddess of the underworld in the underworld, it is difficult to say whether they were rescued by Zhusulad or Ereshkigal deliberately let them escape.

In short, after going through countless hardships, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others successfully brought the clay tablet that recorded the future back to Uruk.

"Ah, thank you for your hard work—"

"I've requested a week's vacation from King Gilgamesh. I must get some good rest this time!"

"Wait a minute, that is..."

"Master, Master?"

The orange-haired girl, who had experienced a life-and-death challenge, had planned to have a good rest after returning to Uruk City - but after seeing the purple woman sitting in the guesthouse, her face immediately turned pale.

She knew Scathach.

In other singularities, she also fought alongside Scathach.

But now, when she saw Scathach again, she did not feel the excitement of "reuniting with an old friend".

She just wanted to get away.

But Scathach recognized the special aura on her at a glance, and took decisive action, picking her up before Fujimaru Ritsuka could run away.

"Alas?"

"I see. Is this the disciple I'll accept as my future self?"

"Although it has nothing to do with me now, I'm just sitting around doing nothing."

“——Looks like my leisure time won’t be boring after all!”

Chapter 149: You are the one who should be educated!

Well known.

Scathach as a friend and Scathach as a teacher are not the same person at all.

As a friend, Scathach is very gentle, but as a teacher, she is very strict.

"I don't want to fight monsters alone!"

"Mashu, save me—"

The orange-haired girl now would rather go back to the city wall and continue to work as a plasterer and bricklayer.

But I couldn't get it.

The Absolute Warcraft Front, what a terrifying place! Every day, countless Warcrafts attack this defense line from every possible corner using all kinds of unimaginable methods.

But in Scathach's eyes, this is the best training ground.

If the fight between humans is a battle of courage, strategy, and beliefs, then the fight between humans and monsters is to return everything to its original state - trying every possible way to survive, using any available means to destroy the opponent as much as possible, and thus proving that they are truly worthy of the title of "Lord of All Spirits".

"Isn't this a bit too cruel..."

The Servants watched the girl's battle.

Some Servants were just watching the fun—like Merlin, some were cheering her on—like the King of Sparta, and some were teaching her combat techniques—like Ushiwakamaru. Of course, there were also Servants like Mash Kyrielight who were simply worried about her safety and ready to rush in to provide assistance at any time.

But among these servants, the one named Anna is a very inconspicuous exception.

She looked at the human girl who was barely fighting the monster—no, it should be said that she was running for her life—with a very conflicted look.

Her mood was quite complicated.

She hopes that Fujimaru Ritsuka can pass Scathach's trial with her own strength and grow into a true warrior; she also hopes that she can call for help from her loudly and seek her protection.

Contradiction?

Very contradictory.

But this contradictory mentality is also the mood of most gods at this moment when humans are about to bid farewell to the gods.

There is no doubt that the gods want to protect humans, because this is their innate mission. But they only protect humans in the way they want to - they hope to keep humans in their cradle forever.

Scathach also noticed Anna's expression.

"Hey, this kid?"

She was somewhat surprised by the divinity that Anna possessed—at the same time, she was more concerned about the devil hidden within that divinity.

"A god destined to fall into the realm of a monster?"

She pondered for a moment, turned around and looked at Shirataki.

At this moment, she finally understood why Shirataki really invited her to this era.

——It turns out that the “students” who really need to be educated by teachers are here!

……

Evening.

Like a dead dog, Fujimaru Ritsuka was dragged off the battlefield by Mashu.

She finally completed the task assigned to her by Scathach - although it was by luring the monster into a trap set by the city defense troops.

But isn’t this the fundamental reason why “human beings”, creatures that have neither strong bodies nor sharp fangs, can finally stand in the position of “the leader of all creatures”?

"I'm tired. I'm so tired."

"I need to rest, I need to rest... Whoever wants to save this broken world can do so!

Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was lying on the dining table, was still saying depressing words as usual.

She is a girl with this kind of personality - she is quicker than anyone else to admit defeat, but when danger really happens, she rushes forward more fiercely than anyone else.

"I'm full~"

The little loli with a hood ate some simple food, then went out "sneakily" with a basket of food.

—Well, it’s not really sneaky.

She went out openly, and everyone knew what her next move would be:

The old woman who lost her son in the fight against Warcraft will be her first stop.

She would share the cake in her hand with the old woman, and then the old woman would probably give her a portion of berry juice as a reward.

Then she would carry the juice and some candied fruits with honey to the west of the city - a paradise for children.

"Every evening a big sister wearing a hood distributes candy to children" has become a new "urban legend" in Uruk.

Then, when the children who had received the delicious food left happily, she would walk out of the city gate and come to the river outside the city. She would look at the setting sun alone and wait slowly until it finally set.

——It was a perfect itinerary, and we made full use of the less than one hour of evening time without wasting anything.

But for some reason, she always likes to be sneaky when doing these things... It's like an old witch hiding in the forest doing bad things behind people's backs?

"So, what are you going to say?"

It's another evening.

The setting sun, which is about to sink into the horizon, emits its last rays of light, making the surface of the river sparkle with golden light and emit a brilliant glow.

The little girl with a hood sat quietly on the grass beside the river, seemingly admiring the beautiful scenery in front of her, or waiting for someone to come.

Behind her, two people who had no need to hide were whispering to each other:

"I……"

Shirataki opened his mouth, as if wanting to express his opinion.

But Scathach was too lazy to listen to this.

She wasn't a dragon, and didn't like hearing dragons' sermons—she only knew that hiding things wouldn't lead to anything good. Knowing something but not saying it was irresponsible to both parties.

"If you have anything to say, go talk to that little girl!"

The experienced old teacher saw the young man's dilemma at a glance.

It was obvious that the little girl had a problem - but before that, she had to solve the problem with Shirataki.

"I think you just spent too much time with that red dragon."

"I've learned all the affectations that are in her."

——It was a very sharp comment, Shirataki never thought it would come out of Scathach's mouth.

"Don't wait for her to figure it out on her own."

"If you have anything to say, just go and talk to her directly."

"You know, in our time, if you fell in love with a girl, you had to knock her out with a stick and take her away!"

Chapter 150 Anna: My sister said that everyone out there is a lolita complex

Scathach's words woke the dreamer up.

——Before this, Shirataki always thought of himself as a relatively straightforward "dragon".

Of course, his good self-esteem is also based on facts.

He could definitely be considered more straightforward than Altria, who was always talking about "chivalry"; he was even more straightforward than Merlin, who loved to be a riddle teller; and as for Morgan, who was gloomy by nature, and Jeanne d'Arc, who was not very talkative... his character was even more straightforward, to the point where it could be described as "simple and crude~".

But now, Scathach told him that this was not true "straightforwardness".

"You were born at the end of the Age of Gods, so you've never experienced the spontaneity that truly belonged to the heroes of that Age of Gods."

"They say whatever they want, and do whatever they want. Difficulties that seem insurmountable to ordinary people are trivial challenges for them. They will prove with their actions why they are worthy of the title of [Brave]."

"They don't even consider whether their words might be inappropriate - in fact, countless friends have parted ways because of inappropriate words, but this still doesn't prevent them from being regarded as heroes by the world."

Scathach explained seriously.

This is the true romance of the heroes of the Age of Gods.

And there is no doubt that the girl sitting by the river and looking at the sunset is a typical "Age of Gods" figure.

——Although she is not a hero, her name has long been transformed into an immortal legend along with the heroes.

【Medusa】.

Perseus, who killed her, was the first hero in ancient Greek history.

As for Scathach's words like "When you meet a girl you like, knock her out with a stick."

"Really..."
