The next day, Ai Li followed Captain Meld to the training ground, where the high school students who had traveled through time were gathered, looking around anxiously. When they saw Ai Li appear, most of them were startled, and then someone shouted in a hurry.
"Ah, it's the girl who saved us in the maze that day!"
"It's her!?"
"Why is she here??"
Because Ai Li's dress was so special, the students recognized her almost immediately. Seeing Ai Li's appearance, everyone seemed very excited. At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
"She was the one who killed Qing Shui!"
Hearing this, the students were shocked and fell silent. Ellie just sat on the broom leisurely, squinting her eyes and staring at the students in front of her, with a slight smile on her lips. At this moment, a boy with golden hair came out, staring at Ellie, and stood in front of her, questioning her coldly.
"Did you kill Shimizu?"
"That's right."
"Why did you kill him!?"
Hearing Ellie's answer, the blond boy clenched his fists and shouted.
"He is our companion."
"Oh, so?"
However, Ellie's tone remained calm, cool, and indifferent as if she was talking about a bug.
"He controlled the monsters, attacked the town, killed the guards, and even degenerated himself into an accomplice of the demons. So what's wrong with me killing him?"
The blond boy was momentarily gagged at Ellie's answer.
"But, but...killing is wrong!"
"Oh, so?"
"Don't you even have an apology?"
"How fresh, why should I apologize?"
In response to the blond boy's rebuttal, Ai Li chuckled, then she turned her head and looked at Captain Meld.
"Captain Meld, is this how you train these little brats?"
"……terribly sorry."
Facing Ellie's ridicule, Meld's face turned pale and blue. He lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
"They come from different worlds after all, so..."
“Mr. Meld, why are you bowing to this woman!”
Seeing this scene, the blond boy shouted again.
"She is a murderer!!"
Hearing this, Ellie raised her eyebrows, then swept the magic wand in her hand lightly, and the next moment the blond boy was knocked away and hit the wall heavily.
"River of Heaven!"
"Are you okay? Tian Zhihe?!"
Seeing this scene, the other students were also greatly surprised and rushed to the side of the blond boy, while a girl with a black ponytail turned around and glared at Ai Li fiercely.
"Why did you do that?"
"Listen up, little devils."
Ellie did not answer the ponytail girl's question. She just sat on the broom and stared coldly at the students in front of her. Just by being stared at by her eyes, these students felt a chill coming down from the sky, making them feel as if they were naked in the ice and snow.
"I'm here to train you, but I won't be like Captain Meld, who is kind enough to play house with you... You are going to undergo real training. I will let you know that you are just a bunch of incompetent trash, without any value at all."
“…”
After hearing what Ellie said, all the students' faces turned extremely ugly, and at this moment another student shouted.
"Why do you say we are useless..."
However, before he could finish his words, Ellie raised the magic wand again and pointed it at him. The next moment, the student screamed and fell to the ground as if he had been knocked down.
"stop!"
"You can't do that!"
Seeing this, the ponytail girl shouted again, while Ai Li glanced at her silently.
"Of course I can do that. It seems that you have been spoiled by the royal family and Captain Meld. Then, let me tell you what reality is."
As she spoke, Ellie sat on the broom and slowly moved forward until she came in front of everyone. She sat on the broom and looked down at the students in front of her.
"Listen carefully. I don't care about the morals, values and order of your world. Your ideas are meaningless and irrelevant to us. Remember, the value of your existence is to protect humans and repel demons. If you can't do that, then your value is even lower than that of a prostitute on the street. As for the practices of your world, they are meaningless to me, because..."
Having said that, Ellie sneered.
"This is not your world."
“…”
At this moment, the expressions of all the students became extremely stiff. Although they had been summoned to this world for some time, it was not until now that Ai Li coldly revealed to them the real and cruel corner of this world.
"Do you understand? The rules, laws, and morals of your world have no value to this world. This world has its own system, and only the strong can define the rules. But unfortunately, you don't have the power to make the rules, so you can only obey them. After all, you are just a bunch of trash..."
"Then let me show you our strength!"
At this moment, accompanied by a roar, the blond boy who was knocked away by Ellie before leaped up, holding a shining holy sword in his hand, and slashed at Ellie with force.
"River of Heaven!!"
Seeing her companion's impulsive behavior, the ponytail girl shouted hurriedly, but at this moment, the golden-haired boy had already swung the holy sword at Ai Li, and then...
"clang."
Just like that, it was blocked by Ai Li.
"Is that the extent?"
Ellie stretched out her left hand, and the neatly trimmed nail of her little finger pressed against the shining blade of the holy sword, blocking the attack of the blond boy. Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned and speechless.
"Your strength is too weak. You're not even qualified to do a manicure."
“You… damn it!!”
Hearing Ellie's ridicule, Tianzhihe Guanghui angrily waved the holy sword in his hand and launched a rainstorm-like attack on Ellie again and again. However, Ellie just yawned, shook the fingers of her left hand boredly, and easily blocked Tianzhihe Guanghui's attack.
And just when Tianzhihe Guanghui attacked again, she bent her index finger and lightly flicked it at the incoming sword.
"clang!!!"
The next moment, the holy sword flew high, and the River of Light of Heaven flew backwards again under the powerful impact, leaving a mark of more than ten meters long on the ground before it stopped.
"River of Heaven!"
"Cheer up, Glory!!"
The students couldn't believe their eyes when they saw their class leader being defeated so easily. At this moment, another tall man turned around and stared at Ai Li.
"What do you want to do?"
"It's simple. You are trash, so I'm here to train you to be less trash."
Ellie smiled and spoke calmly.
"What if we don't want to?"
"That has nothing to do with me. It won't be me who dies on the battlefield anyway."
“…”
Hearing the word "death", the students all swallowed their saliva. That day, when they fell into the trap in the underground maze, it was the first time they felt death was so close to them. If it weren't for the girl in front of them who helped them, they would have died long ago.
"Everyone, cheer up!"
At this moment, a girl wearing a priest-like uniform spoke. She first looked at Ai Li with a complicated look, then pulled the students together and began to discuss in a low voice.
"What? You really want to train, Kaori?"
"That girl is so scary! I don't want to do that. I will definitely die!"
"Besides, even Guanghui was beaten so badly by her... Can we bear this?"
"It's not important, guys."
The girl called Kaori shook her head and stared at everyone.
"Indeed, Miss Ai Li is scary, but she also pointed out the truth... We have no one to rely on in this world, and we were summoned here to protect humans and destroy demons. If we can't do that, then we are just living here for nothing."
"Isn't this good?"
"Do you think the king and his people will let us eat and live for free?"
“…”
After hearing Kaori's question, the students who had argued back stopped talking. In fact, after almost being wiped out, these students had psychological trauma and were unwilling to fight again. However, the king and the bishops kept urging them to return to the battlefield, which made the students very unhappy. But now after hearing Kaori's words, they had to admit... this was impossible.
"Miss Ai Li is right. If we want to survive, if we want to control our own destiny, if we want to go home, we must become stronger. If we can't do this, then we won't be able to defeat the demon, let alone return to our hometown, and we may even be abandoned!"
Having said this, Kaori deepened her tone.
"Think about Qingshui! He did make a mistake, but he was killed. And the person who killed him is right in front of us! Doesn't this make the problem clear? We are indeed messengers of God, but we are also ordinary people. If we make a mistake, we will be punished, or even... killed!"
“…”
He has some brains at least.
Hearing what the girl named Kaori said, Ai Li nodded in her heart. It seemed that there were some sober people among the summoned people. If everyone was like that golden cockroach, then Ai Li really wouldn't mind watching them die.
It has nothing to do with you anyway, right?
After discussing for a while, the group of people looked at Fang Zheng again, and then the priestess girl spoke.
“We are willing to be trained.”
"hehe."
Hearing this, Ai Li chuckled.
"It seems that you still don't know your own identity."
“What on earth are you talking about…!”
Faced with Ai Li's ridicule, Tian Zhihe Guanghui wanted to step forward to argue, but was stopped by the people around him. At the same time, Ai Li chuckled and spoke.
"You are not even worthy of being trained by me right now, because in my opinion, you are all a bunch of trash, so... I am going to give you a little test."
"……test?"
"That's right."
Looking at the priestess girl who was staring at her, Ai Li gave a meaningful smile.
"Let me think about it... Right, let's go and kill the goblins."
