"I'll cut you down!?" Konoe Eishun, unable to hold back, went berserk, his eyes instantly transforming into the advanced Kamina Style secret art 'Oni Eye' (where the whites of the eyes and pupils swap colors, forming black pupils on a white background). He instantly severed the longsword in Lacan's hand, who had come to provoke them, and simultaneously cut down the cliff.
"Oh, oh, not bad, he actually blocked Eishun's sword." Nagi saw Jack Lakan block Konoe Eishun's attack and sighed with admiration, knowing that Konoe Eishun's sword was not that easy to block. Seeing this, Nagi couldn't help but develop an interest in the provoking Jack Lakan.
"I think I've seen him before." Al, eating meat, looked at Jack Lakan with a hint of confusion. The man looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
"Indeed, a gladiator who was once a hot topic on the southern battlefield," Seguto introduced, chewing on his meat.
However, Konoe Eishun was ultimately defeated by the 'honey trap' set up by several beautiful girls conjured by Jack Lakan.
"One down," Jack Lakan said, looking at Konoe Eishun lying on the ground. Immediately after speaking, Jack Lakan jumped up. A giant lightning bolt had blasted a huge crater where he had just been standing. Even he would have sustained some injuries if he had been struck by that lightning bolt.
"Oh? Information Four, you've appeared. Red-haired mage, characterized by 'invincibility', huh? That's quite arrogant. Kid, this is truly an encounter. I was also known as the invincible man in the South," Jack Lakan said to Nagi after landing.
"Hey! None of you interfere! Let me handle him!" Nagi looked at Jack Lakan with full battle intent, speaking to the Red Wings members behind him.
"I know without you telling me," Al said to Nagi, cleaning the soup off Yoshino. He wouldn't do such troublesome things.
"idiots should be dealt with by idiots," Seguto said. Fighting was too troublesome; it was better to just enjoy the show. He knew Nagi was furious about the food right now.
Next, Nagi and Lacan battled for 13 hours! This battle, which turned the surrounding area into scorched earth, actually lasted thirteen hours! Wasn't this environmental destruction! What two bug-men! After the battle, the two bruised and battered guys started walking arm-in-arm, chatting intimately. Ugh, they were even more enthusiastic than women!
"Hey! Lacan! Do you want to join our Red Wings?" Nagi fully acknowledged Lacan's strength. It was rare to find an opponent he could have such a good, fist-to-fist fight with.
"Hmm, sure! You guys seem pretty interesting anyway. I'll join you," Lacan said. Lacan's original goal was to challenge all the Red Wings members, but now Nagi alone had beaten him to this state. This made him curious about this strange organization.
"That's great! Then, welcome to the team, Jack Lakan! I am the leader of the Red Wings, Nagi Springfield!" Nagi smiled and extended his hand to him.
"I am Al Bireo Ima, welcome to the team," Al said next.
"I am Konoe Eishun, a Kamina Style swordsman. Welcome." Eishun stood up and said with a smile, but you were just defeated by him in such an embarrassing way, and now you can smile and talk to him. Could it be that you don't care about what just happened? Or are you a fish with a short memory? Or are you just selectively forgetting those overly shameful memories?
"That... that! I... I am Yoshino! Wel... Welcome you Red Wings! Mr. Lacan." Yoshino said timidly after cleaning up. She remembered that in the manga, he was quite perverted, and Yoshino was a little afraid that he would do something strange to her.
"Hmm~ So you are Yoshino." Jack Lakan stroked his chin and carefully observed Yoshino. Yoshino, feeling a little scared by his gaze, ran behind Konoe Eishun to hide.
"Hey! You perverted uncle, don't look at Yoshino with that strange look! Do you have any strange ideas about Yoshino? Give up! Yoshino won't like you!" Shiina shouted unhappily at Jack Lakan. The look in this stinky uncle's eyes made her feel very uncomfortable. This guy must have some bad intentions towards Yoshino.
"Oh? I didn't expect you to actually have self-awareness? I thought you were just an ordinary hand puppet. Don't worry, I don't have any ideas about Her Highness the Saintess. I came to you this time because of a request. In addition to dealing with members of Red Wings, I also have a mission to take you away and hand you over to the Holy See. I just wanted to see the true face of this Saintess that the Holy See is concerned about." Not caring about Shiina's sarcasm, he immediately explained why he was looking at Yoshino when he saw the Red Wings members looking at him vigilantly.
"You have to be careful of those guys from the Holy See. They just discovered the power in you, so they want to take you back and use you as a national secret weapon. You have to be careful, you know? Yoshino." He reached out to stroke Yoshino's head, but she dodged it. She didn't want this person to touch her hair, just because she didn't want to.
"Don't worry, we will take good care of Yoshino. Or do you think Yoshino really doesn't have any fighting power?" Nagi stood up and looked at Jack Lakan with amusement. Although Yoshino hadn't shown her strength in the year since she joined, her magic power intensity had reached SA level. It's just that her combat skills were really too poor, otherwise he wouldn't be able to deal with Yoshino either.
"Oh? Is our Her Highness the Saintess very powerful? If so, please let me see your strength. Isn't it something that future partners should do to understand each other's strength?" Jack Lakan looked at Yoshino with interest. Not being a Magician, he couldn't see how Yoshino's magic power was. It's just that Yoshino's soft and cute appearance didn't give him any sense of danger.
"Then I'll let you see!" Yoshino stepped out from behind Konoe Eishun, her right eye glowing blue as she looked at Jack Lakan. She could still do it just to let him understand her strength, and she didn't want this guy to do anything strange to her when he joined, so it was necessary to show her strength to him now.
"Uh... no way? This magic power level has already reached SA level. Isn't it rumored that the Saintess can only use healing magic? This is different from the information." Looking at Yoshino with cold sweat on his forehead, unlike the soft and cute Yoshino just now, the pressure from Yoshino's serious face has increased exponentially, as well as the magic circle all around. Could it be that she doesn't have to draw these magic circles herself? The intuition he had developed from countless battles told him that this was not all her strength.
"Oh, I'm always surprised to see Yoshino like this. I didn't expect her to reach this level in a few years. It seems that she has absorbed the things we gave her well." Al said with some emotion as he looked at the large number of magic circle in front of him. As one of Yoshino's teachers, he felt quite accomplished to see Yoshino grow so much.
"Yes, Yoshino is very serious and very smart. Unlike a certain idiot." Seguto said, as for who the idiot was, he didn't need to elaborate.
"Haha, it seems you are really an interesting group of people. I didn't expect the Saintess, whom I thought was just a mascot, to actually have such great strength! I! Jack Lakan, officially join your Red Wings!" Lacan laughed and reached out his hand to shake Nagi's hand vigorously.
Jack Lakan officially joined Red Wings!
