"Nene! What are you doing?"
"I don't know! It wasn't me!"
When the ice-blue meteorite fell from the sky, Kokonoe immediately looked at her friend Nene beside her, because this move was all too familiar to her.
The 'Yasha Princess' Saikyō Neine was a gravity-manipulating natural-type Blazer, capable of freely controlling gravity. Her signature Blaze Sword Secret Technique was 'Heaven-Shattering Meteor'... actually called 'Tyrannical Heavenly Star.'
Like Uchiha Madara and Fujitora Issho, she could pull a meteorite directly from space. So the moment she saw the meteorite from the sky, Kokonoe thought it was Saikyō Neine's doing.
However, this sudden scene made Nene shake her head frantically. While a flicker of confusion flashed in her pupils, what showed more was anger and anxiety over the situation.
Saikyō Neine had finally managed to meet her friend Kokonoe, and at this critical moment, some clueless fool was attacking the academy with her signature move?
If this meteorite truly landed, not only would the academy be destroyed, but the entire city would be flattened!
As a user of meteorites, Saikyō Neine knew her own limits. If she were to unleash a meteor shower, she could even annihilate a medium-sized country.
In other words, was this a show of force?
Someone was clearly trying to undermine Kokonoe, who had just taken over as Director, indicating that there were those who didn't want Hagun Academy to rise.
"Don't worry, Kokonoe."
"Leave this matter to me. No matter who's hiding behind it, I'll drag them out!"
Saikyō Neine stormed out of the Director's office, her killing intent palpable, clearly furious over the incident.
For this girl who looked like a loli but was an adult at heart, her relationship with Kokonoe was special—like Naruto and Sasuke. Anyone who tried to disrupt it would have to pay a heavy price!
Kokonoe, watching all this, could only let out a bitter chuckle before turning her gaze back to the meteorite about to crash outside the window.
She wasn't worried about her friend; after all, she knew Nene's strength well. A mere meteorite couldn't possibly harm a 'Demon.'
But this incident was indeed a problem!
Kokonoe furrowed her brows, contemplating who might be behind it.
"As soon as I arrived, someone directly targeted Hagun Academy..."
"Is this aimed at me, or at the academy?"
—
Such an incident was indeed easy to misinterpret, and the reality wasn't as Kokonoe and Nene thought—it was just a simple accident...
Just a few minutes earlier, after finishing her role as Hyacine and Barbara, the girl had left the DanMachi World and immediately continued her mission, heading to the next world.
Because she had ended her role in the DanMachi World, the girl received no rating or rewards.
This meant that in the next world, she would have no assistance and couldn't use any abilities to improve herself.
She could only rely on the new role she was about to play to push through!
And the roles she was playing were...
'Jingliu'
'Skirk'
The perfect combination!
—The white-haired, red-eyed master duo!
And the next world she was heading to was a pure, sword-wielding knight world... 'Chivalry of a Failed Knight'!
Once the role and world options appeared, the girl had already lost her two twin-tailed sweet girl bodies, replaced by two massive icebergs.
Well, two massive icebergs with two massive icebergs...
That should be accurate, right?
Moreover, this time was slightly different from the previous two smooth arrivals. The two white-haired, red-eyed beauties crossed into the world in an extremely conspicuous manner.
Yes, it was the massive meteorite that had just been about to crash into Hagun Academy!
—
Using her gravity-manipulating ability, Nene quickly flew into the air, arriving at the path of the descending ice-blue meteorite.
"How bold!"
"Let me see who's trying to ruin my plans!"
The reason Saikyō Neine was called the 'Yasha Princess' wasn't just for her yasha-like strength but also her yasha-like temper...
Just like the legends!
So she acted without hesitation. Her inherent device, a fan, appeared in her hand, and the furious yasha viciously fanned at the meteorite, seemingly intending to blow it back with wind...
However, Nene's ability didn't produce any wind; even her skirt remained completely still. The only thing unchanged was the heavy sense of pressure.
As mentioned earlier, Saikyō Neine possessed the ability to manipulate gravity, so her attacks could only be gravity-based!
But what happened next made the yasha girl widen her eyes in shock, her stunned expression written all over her face.
"How is this possible?"
"Why did my gravity... fail?"
No! It didn't fail!
In a brief moment, Saikyō Neine immediately judged what had just happened. Her gravity had acted on the meteorite the instant she swung her fan, but it couldn't stop the meteorite's descent at all...
Something inside the meteorite seemed to be interfering with gravity's effects!
"No! I absolutely cannot let this meteorite land on Hagun Academy!"
"If it falls, not only will the students and the academy be finished, but Kokonoe's future will be ruined too!"
Clearly, in Nene's heart, the entire Hagun Academy and all its students combined weren't as important as Shinguji Kurono alone.
She wasn't acting for the academy or the students but for her dearest friend... Even though this friend had once betrayed her, Nene's feelings for Kokonoe had never changed.
"Get lost!"
Since ordinary Blaze Sword Secret Techniques were useless, Saikyō Neine had to bring out her true skills to deal with this abnormal meteorite.
The next second, the girl's aura shifted.
If Nene's earlier killing intent was only enough to kill with a glance, now she seemed capable of killing those around her with her mere presence!
Even more terrifyingly, a strange, non-human horn began to grow on the girl's smooth forehead.
If a certain pink-haired girl saw this, she'd probably get excited and want to touch it. But if others saw it, they might even think, 'I'm already dead,' right?
This was the unique power of the Chivalry of a Failed Knight world—a physical transformation that occurred when a Blazer reached a certain level of strength...
The power of fate gathered in the girl's hands. This time, the meteorite finally budged under Nene's influence.
A powerful 'fate' struck the meteorite without hesitation. Although it still didn't shatter the meteorite, it altered its trajectory, redirecting it away from Hagun Academy and toward the sea near the city.
"Phew! What exactly is this thing? To make me use my 'Demon' form?"
The petite girl frowned but flew toward the meteorite's landing site without pause. The moment she struck the meteorite, she seemed to sense life inside it...
How strange!
*Boom, boom, boom—!*
As expected, the meteorite crashed into the sea nearest to Hagun Academy. Fortunately, the area was sparsely populated; otherwise, there would have been major (censored) trouble if casualties occurred.
Saikyō Neine slowly descended from the sky, approaching the not-so-large meteorite. However, the yasha girl stood frozen in place, staring in shock at the scene unfolding before her.
This wasn't a meteorite but a massive ice crystal!
Normally, such a large block of ice would take a considerable amount of time to melt completely.
But before Saikyō Neine's eyes, the massive ice block was melting at a visible rate. In less than 30 seconds, it was only as tall as three people.
But that wasn't the most surprising part for Nene. Inside the massive ice block, two faintly visible figures began to appear...
Two figures, like Sleeping Beauties from a story, huddled together, appearing fragile and making one loathe to disturb them.
But the aura they exuded made Saikyō Neine clench her teeth, even breaking into a cold sweat...
"Born with it... It's actually innate?"
