"It's alright, hurry up and catch up."
Cornelia, that idiot, actually turned her back on the enemy!
She didn't even notice that after she turned around, a cruel smile appeared on the woman's face as she pulled out a dagger from behind her back and cautiously approached her.
"We're about five kilometers from our destination, so we need to speed up—"
Cornelia suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She turned around and saw the woman stabbing at her with a knife.
She managed to dodge the attack thanks to her quick reflexes, but the blade still managed to leave a shallow cut on her waist.
The faint stinging pain caused Cornelia to furrow her brow slightly.
"you...."
"Oh my, I didn't expect you to be so quick, little sister. But my knife is coated with a paralyzing poison, the kind that can take down even a level two dangerous type. I wonder how long you can last?"
Sure enough, just as the woman had said.
Cornelia felt a faint numbness spreading from the wound.
"Hehe, it's already taken effect? That was fast."
"But it's okay, this poison will only numb your body, not your brain. You can watch me peel your skin off inch by inch, isn't that wonderful? Hahaha~"
The woman gave her a sickly smile and approached her step by step.
She was a notorious serial killer whose favorite pastime was to skin living people and collect their skins, especially delicate young girls like Cornelia.
I just didn't expect to be caught while committing a crime in the capital.
I thought I was going to die, but I never expected to encounter such a wonderful thing, and even meet such a silly girl.
Cornelia gritted her teeth, beads of cold sweat dripped from her forehead, and her body trembled slightly.
"Oh dear, are you scared? It's okay, don't be afraid, my technique is still pretty clean and efficient—?!?"
Just as the woman was slowly bringing the knife tip closer to Cornelia, Cornelia suddenly sprang up and punched the woman in the abdomen.
The intense pain caused the woman to involuntarily bend over, but before she could recover, the dagger in her hand was snatched away, and then her neck was grabbed.
"You...how could you...?!"
The woman stared wide-eyed at Cornelia in astonishment.
A poison that even Level 2 dangerous species couldn't harm, yet it had no effect on this girl?!
Perhaps knowing she was about to die, the woman once again put on a pitiful act and quickly begged for mercy:
"Please don't kill me. I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again..."
"I won't fall for the same trick twice."
Cornelia said coldly.
He then exerted force and snapped the woman's neck with a crack.
After tossing the woman's body aside, Cornelia slowly sat down, leaning against a large tree.
She looked up at the sky with a wry smile, barely keeping her heavy eyelids open, and said self-deprecatingly:
"I'm such an idiot... I completely forgot Yotsuba-sama's instructions... Doing something like this will definitely make me fail, right?"
"They're already reflecting on their actions?"
Accompanied by the sound, Mahiro slowly emerged from the woods and appeared before Cornelia.
Looking down at the somewhat surprised girl, he smiled and asked:
"Young lady, do you know you've done wrong?"
Chapter 136 The Little Prince? Isn't this the Little Princess?! (5.1K)
"Heh, Cornelia, you look really pathetic right now!"
"Woo..."
Under Mahiro's teasing, Cornelia let out a small moan, her body trembling uncontrollably.
At this moment, she was completely immersed in the stream.
The icy river water washed over her skin, cleansing away the bloodstains while constantly stimulating the girl's nerves.
Although his injuries had healed, the residual paralyzing toxins had not yet been eliminated.
Of course, the girl herself could not possibly possess such terrifying regenerative abilities; it was Shinsuke who performed the treatment.
Although it healed her, it wasn't a complete cure; it merely restored the wound to its original state, leaving behind a paralyzing toxin as punishment for Cornelia's foolish actions.
However, Cornelia wasn't concerned about that; she was well aware of just how foolish her mistake had been.
What she cared about was that Yotsuba-sama's hands were constantly stroking her body, helping her to wash.
There's nothing we can do about it; she fell into their trap and is now completely unable to move.
But that feeling... it wasn't just itchy, there was also a strange throbbing that made her chest feel a little uncomfortable, as if some kind of emotion was about to burst out of her chest.
Although the stream water was very cold, her face felt inexplicably hot. A longing arose in her heart, making her want to get more from Lord Yotsuba!
"Okay, it's all done washing."
"Ah... is it over already?" Cornelia's tone carried a hint of disappointment, as if she was still not quite satisfied.
"What, you've become addicted to washing, haven't you?" Mahiro teased the shy girl.
"no!"
Cornelia quickly shook her head and whispered in defense, "It just feels very comfortable. This is the first time I've felt this way... But Cornelia is already satisfied! Yotsuba-sama has already done enough for me."
And my body has recovered enough to move again.
Although Cornelia has always been the one the other female members rely on, she actually longs to rely on others herself.
As fate would have it, Yotsuba Mahiro appeared. From their first meeting in the western border forest to now, he has become her instructor, teaching her everything.
Through his constant care and tender attention, Cornelia had unknowingly come to rely on him.
"Then you can wash your clothes yourself. I'll take you back in a bit."
"Are you going to punish me?"
Cornelia asked quietly, but as soon as she said it, she realized she had asked a stupid question.
Having fallen into such a terrible trap and suffered serious injury, isn't punishment inevitable?
"Lord Yotsuba, what kind of punishment do I need to receive?"
"Punishment? I never said that."
Cornelia was taken aback.
Makoto's words surprised her.
No punishment?
Seeing the girl's expression, Mahiro roughly guessed what she was thinking, so he smiled slightly:
"While my purpose in following you was partly to observe your actions, my primary purpose was to ensure your safety. And do you remember what I said when the initial test began?"
"...We need to intercept these prisoners before they escape from the forest, and then kill them."
Cornelia recalled for a moment and then recounted it.
"That's right, my focus is on taking down the target. As for what methods were used and what happened during the process, that's your own business and not within the scope of the test."
Ultimately, as long as you can kill the target, you've passed the test.
After all, this level mainly tests whether the elite squad has the courage to kill.
If not, he wouldn't do anything; he would simply send them to the mansion to work as maids, leaving the rest to continue training.
However, Cornelia saw it completely differently.
"Lord Yotsuba!"
She suddenly stood up from the stream, naked, and pounced on Mahiro.
Although Cornelia was the tallest among the girls, she was still nearly 20 centimeters shorter than Mahiro, who was over 1.8 meters tall. So when she hugged him, she was like a pendant hanging on his body.
The fullness that had developed in his chest was now perfectly imprinted on his body.
The girl's slightly trembling body and her unexpectedly high body temperature were completely transmitted to him.
But Cornelia didn't care about any of that; instead, she buried her face in her shoulder and sobbed softly.
"Thank you, Yotsuba-sama. Thank you for your kindness. Cornelia will never let you down again!"
She was not crying because she was moved by this tenderness.
Instead, she felt ashamed, as if she had failed this tenderness, and cried because of her own lack of self-control.
"Alright, alright, crying counts as part of your time too. Just a reminder that there's not much time left before the end."
He patted Cornelia on the back before taking her off, saying, "Go wash your clothes quickly."
"Yes, thank you, Yotsuba-sama."
Cornelia let out a soft breath, then smiled, and went back to the riverbank to pick up her dirty clothes and wash them in the water.
Back on the shore, Makoto leaned against a rock, drying his clothes as he admired the graceful curves of her back.
The needle does not poke.
The lines are absolutely perfect!
-------------------------------------
The assessment is over.
The brutal and dangerous death training taught them how to kill properly, unlike the simple method used by Minister Bill of the Assassination Department, who tied prisoners to racks and left them to their own devices.
Although it was indeed quite difficult, everyone completed it perfectly. Even Xiao Yin, who was the weakest, made a bit of a mess, but still managed to bring back two kills.
Cornelia alone killed only one prisoner.
It almost resulted in it failing the test.
And everyone was surprised when they saw Cornelia return with him.
Curious Silver and Bonnie kept asking him what had happened.
After all, in their hearts, Cole is the strongest one!
Mahiro simply smiled indifferently and casually made up a story about an unexpected situation Cornelia encountered, which he happened to save, thus brushing it off.
"It seems you all did a great job on this assessment. Well done," Mahiro praised.
A total of forty-one prisoners were released during this assessment.
Without exception, they were all killed by the elite squad.
"Your performance was satisfactory, especially Nahashu, who exceeded expectations."
Nahashu's strength is truly outrageous; he killed ten prisoners single-handedly, eliminating a quarter of them.
Moreover, they were all fatal with a single blow, utterly ruthless and cold-blooded, doing exactly as he said.
It seems he wasn't wrong about the person.
Perhaps, in this entire squad, only Nahash can be called the most perfect assassin.
Next up are the Black Eyes and the Red Eyes; these two sisters each took down seven people.
While offering them a few words of praise, Mahiro also warned them that this training was just the beginning, and the missions to come would be much more dangerous.
This was mainly said to Cornelia, and the girl's face gradually turned red after hearing it.
"However, considering how well you've done, I'm going to give you two gifts."
"Yay, hooray!!! I love you so much, long live Yotsuba-sama!!!"
The girls cheered when they heard there would be gifts.
Even Green, who is usually the calmest and least concerned, showed surprise on his face.
Training is what they're supposed to do, but to receive a gift afterward? Is that too good to be true?
