Who is not a lawyer?

"The other party is the surviving member of the old empire's royal family, the seventh prince Lux Arcadia."

Chapter 4: Flute Sound

The next morning.

"So...it was just an unfortunate accident, huh?"

"The prince of the old empire, Lux Arcadia."

In the principal's office, Reilly was sitting at the desk, her chin supported by her hands, smiling at the boy in front of her with silver hair, gray eyes, and a slightly gentle face.

Luo Mio leaned against the wall in the corner of the room, quietly looking at the boy in front of her.

The boy was dressed very simply, like a commoner, without any trace of the royal temperament of the old empire, and there was a black collar around his neck.

But what attracted Luo Mio's attention more were the two mechanical shell swords worn on the boy's waist.

Two swords, one black and one white.

In this day and age, it is very rare to see a Drag-Knight using dual blades.

Luo Mio's eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at the ominous black mechanical sword.

Above, Luo Mio could faintly sense a fierce and violent fluctuation.

Hearing Relie’s words, Lux spoke with a helpless and apologetic look on his face.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't expect to encounter something like this on the way here."

Reilly also said with a smile.

"Mom... I am also responsible for this. After all, I am the client and I did not notify and greet you in the first place."

As she spoke, Reilly's eyes opened and lowered slightly.

Because she was investigating something yesterday, she returned to the academy a little late, and she also encountered an Abyss on the way.

Thinking of this, Reilly glanced at Luo Mio on the other side of the room.

At this time, Luo Mio was seen wearing a teacher's uniform of the Royal Military Academy similar to that of Reilly and the others, but judging from the appearance, it should have been modified by Luo Mio herself. Although there was no change in the upper body, the long skirt that reached below the knees was replaced with an ordinary short skirt, and there were long dark blue hems on both sides behind her.

After glancing at Luo Mio, Relie looked back at Lux in front of her.

She and Lux ​​were old acquaintances. Lux and her younger sister Philphie had been childhood sweethearts since the Old Empire era, and she had often seen Lux.

Then Luo Mio saw a classic scene that everyone loves to see. To be honest, Luo Mio had seen this kind of scene countless times in Failing the Exam, Studying for the War, and Darkness.

Reilly wanted Lux ​​to work at the Royal Academy for Military Officers, Academi.

The two girls standing beside the door of the room also showed shocked expressions.

Then, a beautiful girl with blonde hair and red eyes who was "eavesdropping" outside the door walked in with a look of disbelief on her face.

It was none other than the country's number one princess, the 'Scarlet Warrior' Lizsharte Atismata.

Lisha was talking to Lux angrily.

'I haven't approved of this man yet!'

"It is absolutely not okay to let such a perverted man work in this academy!"

When Luo Mio heard this familiar curse, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

He couldn't help but recall the time when he, Stella and Ikki were in the chairman's office, and Stella had scolded Ikki three times for his lack of quality.

Then came the most classic part, the battle between Lux (male protagonist) and Lisha (female protagonist).

Seeing Lux, Lisha and many students leaving, Relie looked at Luo Mio and said with a wry smile.

"I'm so sorry that you had to see this."

Luo Mio shook her head.

"It's okay. This kind of scene reminds me of some interesting things in the past."

"Once..." Reilly looked at Luo Mio, her eyes narrowed slightly.

After thinking for a while, Reilly also asked Luo Mio.

"Is this really good?"

As she spoke, Reilly also looked at the clothes on Luo Mio.

"Well..." Luo Mio also took a look at the teacher's clothes on her body, and then chuckled and said, "What do you think you can teach me as a student?"

After hearing Luo Mio's words, Reilly was speechless for a moment.

indeed.

Just as Luo Mio said, with Luo Mio's powerful strength that can instantly kill gargoyles, the instructors at the academy really have nothing to teach her. On the contrary, Luo Mio's powerful strength can even allow her to directly become an instructor at Wang Li's Non-commissioned Officer Academy and teach students.

"By the way." Lei Li asked Luo Mio with a smile: "Will you go and watch the battle between the princess and the prince later?"

"A battle between Drag-Rides?... Then let's go and watch."

-

“Now, the Machine Dragon Contest between the First Princess of the New Kingdom, Lizsharte Atismata, and the former Seventh Prince of the Old Empire, Lux Arcadia, is about to begin!”

In the Drag-Ride performance field in the academy, the instructor Raigree, who was standing at the referee’s stand and acting as the judge, spoke, and cheers and excitement spread throughout the entire training field.

Reilly, who was standing next to Legli, was watching the scene with a smile on her face.

The training ground was surrounded by a circular stone wall, with a wide earth-pile arena in the middle.

The arena in the center is lower, and its shape becomes taller as you move toward the outside, much like the gladiator arenas of old.

There were quite a few female students sitting in the spectator seats, and even a few instructors came to watch the battle.

Although the location of the spectator seats seemed very dangerous, there were several thick stone pillars behind them. The stone pillars were like beacon towers, and on each of them stood several Drag-Knights, whose bodies were surrounded by countless mechanical metals, assembled and connected together, and were several times larger than humans.

Unlike the judges' stand where Legli and Reilly stood and the audience seats where students sat, Luo Mio stood further back, at the rear stone pillar.

Then, only Laigree's voice was heard.

"All aircraft, deploy the barriers!"

Following Raigree’s order, the Drag-Knights on the stone pillars raised their arms that were manipulating the Armored Drag-Rides. Then, dazzling blue light suddenly flashed in the arm patterns of those general-purpose Drag-Rides. A mysterious pattern that looked like a magic circle appeared in front of the mechanical hands.

A light blue barrier suddenly appeared between the arena and the audience seats in the center of the training ground.

Lisha and Lux ​​who were present were wearing suits that were excavated from the ruins together with the Drag-Ride.

The suit can effectively transmit the energy from the 'Phantom Core' inside the Machine Dragon, and can also produce powerful armbands on the surface that are different from ordinary barriers to protect various parts of the equipment.

Then, the voices of Lisha and Lux ​​were heard on the field.

"I order you to come, the emblem of power, the winged dragon. Obey my sword and fly, "Wyvern"!"

"Awake, ancestor of creation. The dragon king of the gods who has transformed into an army with the power of one, Tiamat!"

Then, two huge figures appeared on the field.

Lux held the white bridge in his hand and pulled it out, and then a pale blue Wyvern was equipped all over his body.

But across from Lux...

The bright red Machine Dragon was even larger than the three normal general-purpose Machine Dragons, and its appearance was completely different.

The aura it exuded far exceeded that of Lux’s Wyvern.

"Divine Drag-Ride"

Different from the three general-purpose Machine Dragons.

A Divine Drag-Ride is a very rare and special Armored Drag-Ride that only exists in this world.

The performance of its machine was far superior to that of an ordinary general-purpose Machine Dragon. Even a specially modified enhanced general-purpose Machine Dragon was far inferior to the performance of a Divine Machine Dragon.

However, the performance of the Divine Drag-Ride made it extremely difficult to operate. In addition, its use would consume a great deal of the user's mental and physical strength. Excessive use could even cause the user to lose his vitality.

You know, the three common general-purpose Drag-Rides are equipped with function limiting devices to ensure that the user's mental and physical strength will not be excessively consumed.

The danger of a Divine Drag-Ride can be imagined.

This also made those who possessed a Divine Drag-Ride strictly restricted by the laws of the New Kingdom, and only those with sufficient ability and mental strength could be granted permission to use it.

Likewise, this also proves that those who possess a Divine Drag-Ride use their unparalleled talents and unremitting perseverance.

Luo Mio looked at Lisha's bright red Tiamat in front of her, and Luo Mio could sense the huge energy in it.

And on the body of "Tiamat", Luo Mio sensed a restrictive device inside its body that limited its energy power output.

If it was not restrained, the moment Lisha summoned [Tiamat], her body would collapse because she could not bear all its power.

"Tiamat..."

The prototype of Lisha’s Divine Drag-Ride ‘Tiamat’ should be the salt water ‘Tiamat’, one of the gods of creation in the ancient Babylonian mythology.

At the same time, in the world of "DxD", Tiamat is known as one of the "Five Great Dragon Kings" and is called the 'Devil's Karma Dragon'.

As for the Divine Drag-Ride named after the Goddess of Creation, the inner strength of Tiamat can be imagined.

While Luo Mio was thinking about the power of the Divine Drag-Ride, the battle between Lisha and Lux ​​had already begun.

Now, there were four huge arrow-shaped objects floating next to Tiamat.

"Special Armament".

Exclusive equipment that only a Divine Drag-Ride can use, some of which are generated by the energy of the Drag-Ride itself.

The four special objects next to Tiamat are his special weapons——'Airborne Fortress'.

A small streamlined metal long-range throwing weapon with thrusters controlled by Tiamat.

Luo Mio glanced at the Airborne Fortress behind Tiamat, and then looked at the other black mechanical shell sword on Lux's waist.

Luo Mio could sense the same strong aura as Tiamat on that black smart shell sword, which meant that Lux's black smart shell sword was also...

At this moment, no one knew what the two people in the field said, but Lisha shouted loudly.

"Tiamat, show your true nature ba!"

Along with Lisha’s voice, a dazzling light suddenly flashed on Tiamat’s arm, and a huge heavy main gun with seven gun ports that was twice as large as an ordinary Machine Dragon Airgun appeared and was connected to Tiamat’s arm.

The 'Seven Heads' also belong to the Special Armament Tiamat.

At the same time, behind Lisha, the original four 'Airborne Fortresses' instantly increased in number, from the original four to sixteen!

Seeing Tiamat in front of him, Luo Mio became more or less interested.

When Lux was fighting with the sixteen ‘Airborne Fortresses’, Lisha instantly seized the flaw and the seven gun barrels of the ‘Seven-Headed Dragon’ instantly aimed at Lux who had revealed the flaw.

"boom------!"

A bright red energy beam like dragon’s breath shot straight towards Lux from the muzzle of the seven dragon heads.

Then Lux dodged with great difficulty.

The seven dragon heads' artillery fire was directed directly towards the sky, and at the same time, the energy barrier in the arena was instantly shattered and dissipated.

The bright red energy beam left a long burning streak in the sky.

“Roar, roar, roar…” Luo Mio touched his chin and looked at the seven dragon heads.

Judging from the power that the seven dragon heads just blasted out, they could easily kill the gargoyle that Luo Mio encountered yesterday in one blow.

Then Luo Mio narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the black mechanical shell sword on Lux's waist.

"In this case, do you still choose not to use it..."

But at this moment, Luo Mio's eyes suddenly moved.

Only a very faint sound, like a flute, reached Luo Mio's ears.

Hearing this voice, Raku Mio’s eyes instantly shifted away from Lux and Lisha in the field and looked at the sky outside.

'Is this... a flute?'

Then——

“Chichichichi…Gahhhhhhh————!”

The familiar, frightening roar of a wild beast echoed throughout the entire Royal Officer Academy Academi.
