Chapter 456: The School Girl I'm Thinking About
"Um?"
When a voice that was familiar yet strange came from behind, Aize was startled at first, then turned his head as if he remembered something.
The next second, Aize saw a person walking down the stairs on the second floor of the antique shop quietly.
She was a very pretty girl.
There is a hint of immaturity on the girl's face and her figure is slender, but she does not look weak. Instead, she gives people a sense of being battle-hardened, gentle yet strong, and heroic. She combines the gentleness and seriousness of a girl in one, which is very eye-catching.
There is a sense of tension on her delicate face, and you can tell at first glance that she is a serious girl. There is a strong light in her eyes, proving that she is extremely determined. Although her limbs are slender, her steps are powerful and light. Anyone who is an expert can tell that this girl has a very high level of attainment in martial arts.
When he saw the girl, Aize almost blurted out her name.
"Ji Hiiragi!"
This is the other person's last name.
Her full name is Setsuna Himeragi.
That’s right, it’s the Setsuna that Kirasaka Sayaka talks about all the time.
"It's really the senior!"
Himeragi Setsuna seemed a little surprised and hurried down from upstairs.
"Why are you here?"
Seeing the other person running towards him, Aize asked subconsciously.
But, he had already guessed why Setsuna Himeragi appeared here.
After all, he had already had a premonition that his junior schoolmate would come to Gengami Island and appear in front of him.
As expected...
"That guy Huangsaka should have told you, right?" Yuantang Yuan said to Aize: "Your current mission is still to monitor the little girl who became the container of the fourth true ancestor."
"As for the two princesses who stayed on Genshin Island, we have arranged new supervisors and caregivers to take care of them."
When Kirasaka Sayaka told Aize about this, Aize already had a premonition that the person sent over would be the beautiful junior schoolmate that Kirasaka Sayaka had been thinking about.
As a result, his premonition came true.
"I just reported here today." Himeragi Yukina was quite polite to the senior whom she hadn't seen for a while. While greeting him politely, she said, "I was planning to find a time to hand over to you, but I didn't expect you to come to Master's place first."
I haven't seen this junior high school girl for a while, but she's still as serious and solemn as ever.
But Aize knew that this was actually how Himeragi Setsuna looked when she was relaxed.
When she was at the God's Forest, Himeragi Setsuna was even more serious, more solemn, and even tense all the time.
She has a simple and straightforward personality, and is full of a sense of justice and responsibility. Although she can be quite impulsive at times, she can also be obsessed with trivial matters regardless of the time. This causes her to be very nervous when she is in Gaoshenzhidu, for fear of not performing well and disappointing those who have high expectations of her.
Therefore, in Takami-no-Tori, Himehira Setsuna is notoriously cold and aloof, and in the eyes of many people is actually a person who is difficult to get along with and approach. Only Kirasaka Sayaka knows the truly lovely side of this schoolmate and roommate. Then there is Aize, who saw through her nervousness during a mock battle with her and thus got a glimpse of her true face.
This meant that when Himeragi Setsuna was in front of Aize, she was no longer tense and serious like she was with others.
So, when she saw Aize, Himeragi Setsuna was a little surprised, and then she was delighted.
"It's really you who came here."
Seeing the first heroine of the original novel appearing so beautifully in front of him, Aize sighed in his heart and spoke out loud.
"That evil girl Kirasaka said it's definitely not you who came."
In theory, the graduation age for Gaoshenzhidu is fifteen, which is equivalent to junior high school graduation.
Himeragi Setsuna is only fourteen years old this year, the same age as Akatsuki Nagisa and Yezane Natsune. She is still about three months away from turning fifteen, which means she has not yet reached the age to leave Kogami-no-Mori and still needs to continue her studies in Kogami-no-Mori.
Kirasaka Sayaka is one year older than Himehira Setsuna, so she left Takami-no-Mori one year earlier than Himehira Setsuna, and is now able to perform missions as a professional dancer.
As for Aize, in this world, he is the same age as Kirasaka Sayaka, but because he doesn't know when his birthday is, he turned sixteen at the beginning of the year, unlike Kirasaka Sayaka, who will have to wait a while before she turns sixteen.
Originally, Aize should have left Gaoshendushi earlier than Kirasaka Sayaka and worked outside as a professional magic attacker. However, due to his special identity and special circumstances, the Lion King Agency did not allow him to graduate. It was not until this year that he was allowed to leave and come to Gengami Island.
To sum up, it is undoubtedly a special case that Setsuna Himeragi left Takami-no-Mori early and came to Gengami Island.
This is how Yuan Tang Yuan explained it.
"Although she still needs to study for a few more months before graduation, Setsuna's grades are already the best among the students in the God's Forest, and she already has the ability to take charge." Yudo Yu said as if it was a matter of course, "Considering the target that needs to be monitored and protected this time, the people above unanimously decided that the person to monitor and protect should be selected from the God's Forest."
Aize could more or less understand the underlying meaning of Yuantang Yuan's words.
He knew that the target of Endou En was not La Freya, but Yese Natsune.
After all, La Freya is the first princess of the Kingdom of Aldikia and the first heir to the throne. Once the royal family leaves, she will probably leave with them.
But Yeze Natsune has already decided to stay on Gengami Island.
This person is also a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Aldikia. Although he does not plan to return to the Kingdom of Aldikia as a royal family, since such an important figure has decided to live on Genshin Island permanently, the Lion King Agency naturally needs to take corresponding actions and send people to monitor and guard him.
And considering that Natsune Yeze is currently a third-year student at the Saikai Academy Junior High School, the best candidate for surveillance and protection would naturally have to be someone who is as close to her as possible.
In this case, what could be closer than classmates of the same age?
Therefore, the Lion King Agency decided to select suitable talents from Gaoshendu, transfer them to Saikai Academy, and put them in the same class as Yeze Natsune to monitor and protect her closely.
Himeragi Setsuna is the best student among the high-ranking students, so who else could it be?
"Now, this girl has also obtained a formal license as a sword wizard." Yuan Tangyuan glanced at Aize and said, "You will have to work together for a long time in the future. I asked you to come here because I want you to lead this girl."
The so-called sword wizard, like Wu Weiyuan, is a special profession affiliated with the Lion King Organization.
Unlike Wu Weiyuan, who is good at cursing and assassination and can also take on the job of protecting important persons or conducting infiltration activities, the Sword Wizard, as the name suggests, possesses the functions of both a swordsman and a witch and is a pure combatant.
They have a fighting power that is superior to that of the demons. In addition to swordsmanship, they also learn how to use a variety of weapons and various close combat techniques. They can also learn the skill of predicting the future in a short period of time through relevant special training - "clairvoyance".
In addition, just as Wu Weiyuan mastered the silent assassination technique of the Eight Generals Divine Technique, the Sword Wizard also learned the Eight Thunder Divine Technique which can convert the amplified spell power into physical attack power, which is specially used to deal with the demons. Even though they are weak girls, they can still subdue the demons with their bare hands.
Himeragi Setsuna was trained as a sword wizard in Gaoshendu.
Now, she has graduated from Gaoshenzhizhong Middle School ahead of schedule and obtained a formal Demon Attack Officer license, so she is naturally a formal sword wizard.
"I'm fine." Aize raised his eyebrows and said, "But is Ji Shu okay?"
Although sword wizards are professional fighters, they are not suitable for guard missions.
In terms of their own abilities, tasks in this area are generally undertaken by Mai Weiyuan like Kirasaka Sayaka, while sword wizards are more responsible for some dangerous tasks. To put it simply, they are specifically responsible for fighting and killing.
For example, Aize’s current mission is ostensibly to monitor the Fourth True Ancestor and eliminate him once it is confirmed that he will pose a threat to the country.
Killing the fourth true ancestor, the strongest vampire in the world, this kind of mission, which sounds like sending people to their deaths, is what the sword wizard is usually responsible for.
As for guarding important people, someone like Kirasaka Sayaka would be more suitable.
However, when Himeragi Setsuna heard what Aize said, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Are you questioning my ability, Senior?"
Himeragi Setsuna stared at Aize, and the strong light in her eyes became full of dissatisfaction.
In addition to being serious, simple, straightforward and responsible, this girl is also very strong-willed and never willing to admit defeat.
"When I was in Gaoshendu, I don't think I lost to you in a mock battle, right?"
Himeragi Setsuna said this with her cheeks puffed up.
"Because your psychic vision is too foul, you can always see the future a few seconds later. No matter what tricks you use, you will see through them." Aize smiled at the junior sister's unwillingness to admit defeat and said, "Besides, although I didn't win, I didn't lose either."
The simulated battles between the two usually ended in a draw, with no winner ever decided.
Of course, that was before.
Now, there is no suspense.
Yuan Tangyuan also spoke coldly from the side.
"So didn't I tell you this long ago? You're too dependent on your psychic vision. Being able to see into the future is certainly an advantage, but it also puts you in a passive position. As long as your opponent's ability is superior to yours, it's basically impossible for you to rely solely on psychic vision to decide the outcome."
"You must be good at exploring your own strengths and not rely too much on your spiritual vision."
"Psychic Vision, if you use it too much, it will become a self-limitation. Do you understand?"
After hearing what Yuandou Yuan said, Yukina Himeragi lowered her head in shame.
"Yes, I remember, Master."
Although Himeragi Setsuna is a person who refuses to admit defeat, she will still humbly accept her master's teachings.
However, no matter how you accept something, habits are difficult to change.
According to Aize's memory, Himeragi Setsuna's fighting style, which relied too much on clairvoyance, had never changed. Otherwise, he would not have been able to fight this excellent sword wizard to a draw with martial arts alone without knowing any spells or magic.
The future is not static. As long as you know that the other party can see the future, there are plenty of ways to deal with it.
Besides, being able to see doesn’t mean you can keep up.
Leaving aside the Aize of the past, if Aize really punched with all his strength now, Himeragi Yukina could only see herself being blown up in 0.01 seconds, and she wouldn't even be able to put up a decent resistance.
This is the limitation of spiritual vision.
Yuantang Yuan was still very satisfied with Himeragi Setsuna's attitude, but he also knew that his favorite disciple still had many shortcomings.
So she looked at Aize.
"Sword wizards are not good at escort missions, but Yeze Natsune is already protected by the Holy Ring Knights of the Kingdom of Aldikia. What she lacks is personnel who can fight beside her. Our purpose is not only to protect her, but more to monitor her and prevent her from causing trouble actively or passively."
After all, Natsune Yezase is a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Aldikia. Who knows if she really stayed on Genkiya Island just to continue her civilian life and not for any other purpose?
What if the Kingdom of Aldikia is secretly planning something?
Even if not, who knows if something might happen that would affect Gengoshima Island or even the mainland?
Don't say it won't happen. The occurrence of the mock angel incident has already proved that if we are not careful, there will really be danger that will endanger the country.
Therefore, Himeragi Setsuna's main purpose is still surveillance, and the escort mission is just incidental. The real responsibility of guarding this important person is the Holy Ring Knights of the Kingdom of Aldikia.
I'm afraid that the Lion King Agency has secretly issued an order to Himeragi Setsuna. If Yeze Natsune is involved in an incident similar to the simulated angel again and there is a possibility of causing harm to the country, then they will need to take action in advance and eliminate her, right?
In other words, Himeragi Setsuna's mission in coming to Gengami Island this time is the same as Aize's, which is to monitor dangerous people and kill them when necessary.
"I have already inquired clearly here. It seems that Yeze Natsune's wish is to stay with you, so those people from the Aldikia royal family will probably ask you to take Yeze Natsune in, right?"
Yuan Tang Yuan looked directly at Aize with a pair of cat eyes and said so.
"To be honest, this is not what we want to see. After all, if we agree, it means that the Kingdom of Aldikia can contact the King of Warcraft and the Fourth True Ancestor at will."
"But given the style of the Silver Princess, she should do her best to facilitate this matter. The rest is just a game between her and the higher-ups."
"Since the result is like this, let Xue Cai go back with you."
Natsune Yezawa lives in Aize's house, so Setsuna Himeragi, who is responsible for monitoring her, will naturally have to live in Aize's house as well.
"Please give me your guidance, Senior."
Himeragi Setsuna had obviously been informed in advance, and bowed her head to Aize.
"All right."
Aize shrugged and accepted it.
He also needs someone to accompany Yeze Natsune.
Himeragi Setsuna is undoubtedly a suitable candidate.
