Chapter 222 – 62. Reserve Platoon Training (2)
I raised my hand and greeted them lightly.
“Nice to meet you.”
Chloe glared at Lucia for a moment. Lucia seems to have noticed that look too, but she ignored it. Lucia’s eyes were only on me.
Chloe said, very conscious of such Lucia.
“Oh. It’s someone I haven’t seen in gold. Judging by the robe, he must have belonged to the Roia Order. Are you wearing a sword?”
I explained to Chloe instead.
“My name is Lucia May. She is the daughter of the Southern Baron May. As you said, a combat cadet. After this midterm exam, I was transferred to the golden class. So it must be unfamiliar to you.”
“May? Hmmm. Oh. Come to think of it, if it was the daughter of the Mei family. I’ve heard her a few times from other noble ladies.”
Saying that, Chloe glanced up and down Lucia’s appearance.
“… Chi-it.”
And he uttered a slightly angry voice. If Chloe had been told by another noblewoman, she was Bona Mana Lucia’s appearance.
Although she wore battle garb, Lucia didn’t die of her looks. Rather, the tight feeling of her uniform went well with her lean body.
‘Looks like Chloe is pretty too.’
Chloe, on the other hand, was still wearing a young girl’s dress. Although the saggy clothes would be a hindrance to the reserve platoon’s mission and training.
Chloe has always maintained that outfit befitting an aristocratic lady.
‘Even if the outfit is cumbersome, he fights better than anyone else.’
That terrifying ability has already been fully experienced in the mission and evaluation of the reserve platoon.
And for a while. A battle of nerves ensued between the two.
No, actually, Lucia didn’t pay attention to Chloe at all. From Chloe’s side, she looked at Lucia very much.
“Ugh. There. Has Miss Mei been wielding only her sword at her battle end, her muscles crammed up to her head? Even if she is a young lady who does not enter the social world. Nobles are nobles. It’s because you didn’t follow the etiquette between noble ladies…”
So Chloe grumbled. Lucia, who had been looking at me for a long time until then, bowed her head to Chloe as if she came to her senses belatedly.
“Sorry. The daughter of the Marquis of Aitern. It’s late to say hello. Lucia of the Mei family greets the lady of the noble Marquis family.”
She was more of a hard knightly greeting than an aristocratic lady. But Chloe was soon satisfied when her Lucia showed her courtesy to her.
“Hmm. What. I would like to forgive you. If I swung a sword while sweating profusely every time. It is easy to forget the strict etiquette that must be observed between nobles. And about her own femininity. Whoops. However, noble young children are bound to fall in love with the elegant and feminine looks of the young ladies.”
She glanced at me, glinting in the enemy.
“Just like me.”
Her eyes seemed to boast that she was a person of this level. And she dared to keep Lucia in check by attaching her quadrupeds.
‘Is it because it’s in front of me?’
However, although she is an illegitimate child, Lucia is the daughter of Duke Pedro, who rules the south. She was, and just like she is now, a beautiful woman who suited not only the uniform but also the young lady’s dress.
‘Because she saw it the other day when she went to Tricia’s restaurant.’
In many ways, I thought that Chloe was mistaken. Lucia was also calmly passing through Chloe’s provocation.
No, she didn’t even seem to think it was a provocation. And as she said hello to Chloe, she still had her eyes on me.
When Lucia didn’t respond much, Chloe made a sad face. Then, as an idea came to her mind, she slipped her arms around me and pulled her body closer.
“Hmm… Miss May must be very shy. Still, it would be better for her to be kind to the other platoon members in order to work in the future. Cooperation between platoon members is also very important in the mission.”
The dress was made of luxurious material, but the material was thin. So when I crossed her arms, Chloe’s voluptuous, soft breasts pressed against mine.
It was a blatant body appeal. In an instant, Lucia’s eyes grew cold. Chloe didn’t see that look in her eyes, so she kept talking about her.
“Exactly like me and Count Julian. The two of us worked together many times not only in pair missions but also in evaluations…”
“Pair? With Count Julian?”
Lucia asked coldly. However, Chloe talked for a while as if she hadn’t noticed the change.
“Of course. The two of us made an outstanding performance for 2 nights and 3 days in the estate called Never…”
And spoke terribly of the mission in which only the two of them had participated.
“There, Count Julian relied heavily on me. And in such a real battle… Not only the two people’s breathing, but also a deep cooperative spirit… Sometimes more than that, emotions bloomed. Whoop”
Of course, I’ve been on pair missions with Lucia as well. Chloe’s words were exaggerated and boastful. He leisurely waved his fan and stretched out his words.
Lucia’s pink pupils were getting darker as she heard the story.
‘Chloe really doesn’t notice.’
Chloe is no fool. On the contrary, he is very smart. However, it seemed that her ability to read people’s emotions, especially other people’s love feelings, was very dull.
‘If I stay here any longer, I’ll be in big trouble.’
I untied Chloe’s arms and stopped her chatter.
“Okay. Chloe. I’ll listen to the rest later.”
“Count? Where…”
“Of course it’s Her Highness Lilia. Because His Highness is also participating in this training.”
“Cheet…”
Chloe’s expression crumpled at those words. Then, Lucia’s expression, which was like her thin ice sheet, relaxed a little.
‘Maybe it’s better that Chloe and Lucia don’t bump into each other often.’
I hurriedly left the two of them. Erti said a short word to me.
[Because you flirt with anyone. It’s going to be that uproar. Like a horned stallion that can’t be found in pure love… And drives a sword…]
Actually, it was true. I didn’t want to admit that to Erti.
[Be quiet.]

Reserve platoon’s outdoor training ground. There were about 60 cadets gathered there. The person standing in front of the cadets was Instructor Meters.
“Ruler. There are many faces I haven’t seen. Still, being assigned to Golden means that the foundation has been laid. So I won’t say much.”
It was the instructor who had a unique personality from an art school.
“First of all, 30 laps of the training ground here. Let’s run lightly.”
The beginning of training was all-out physical training. However, as Meters said, there was no cadet who did not have basic physical strength.
Due to the nature of the Pantheon cadets, all of whom are divine priests, even if they lack physical strength. Because I was able to make up for the lack of physical strength to some extent.
However, I was running through the training ground without using any divine power.
‘Right now, both physical strength and strength stats are over 40. No problem.’
I checked the stats with the system for a while.
—————–
[Status]
* Basic status
Strength: 45
Agility: 35
Intelligence: 35
Stamina: 45
Stamina: 70
* Possess magic attribute
Mana: 130/130MP (Bonus MP: 1000/1000MP)
—————–
Roia’s ordeal. And because of acquiring Erti, his stats rose evenly. And I have been doing physical training in my spare time.
So she was running in the middle row, keeping a leisurely pace. I glanced at the other cadet running alongside me.
A blonde girl in a nun’s uniform.
Her large breasts bobbed up and down her as she jumped. The male cadets around her were also surprised, and she sensed that she was secretly spying on them.
However, he soon turned his gaze elsewhere. That cadet was not an ordinary cadet, but the 3rd princess of the highest rank in the empire.
It was disrespectful for her one cadet to stare at her, Lilia.
‘By the way, Lilia runs well too. She doesn’t even use her holy power.’
Lillia is a holy priest of Medica, an order of medicine. In other words, she was a healer. However, she was running with even breathing, as if she hadn’t neglected her physical training.
For an instant, her eyes met hers. Lilia smiled and said.
“You don’t have to overdo it, just run at Yulian-sama’s speed. Because I know Julian-sama’s breathing well. I’ll match the pace.”
It was lovely to see her claiming to be her pacemaker like that. She is a fiancé who is always loving and affectionate towards me. She was like Lilia.
On the other hand, Chloe and Lucia were running in the lead. Perhaps the nervous warfare from a moment ago stimulated each other.
But it won’t be easy for Chloe, the alchemist, to follow the pace of Lucia, the swordsman.
It seems that Chloe made a special medicine with alchemy, which is her long-term skill, and doped it. But even when Chloe quickly took the lead, Lucia soon caught up.
‘That would be over pace for Chloe.’
And when I turned my head back for a while, I saw a witch’s hat shaking at the rearmost part. Rosette seemed to have poor stamina.
‘I can’t help it because I’m always flying around with a dildo… No, a magic wand.’
I did a few more laps like that. After all, it was a light jogging training, so this was just the beginning.
Afterwards, the platoon members of the Golden Wings rolled for a while until they were exhausted under the direction of Meters.

Training ended pretty late. It was soon midnight.
The place where I am now is the lodging at the training ground. The cadets slept together in this very old barracks, just like a training camp.
Of course, men and women were separated, so there were separate barracks for female students. So it means that the inside of this barracks where I am is a terrible men’s bath.
‘It’s filthy copper.’
Maybe that’s why. For some reason, a more musty smell seemed to flow from it.
And before I was possessed, I was discharged from the military on active duty. The facilities here were worse than the dormitories where I served.
‘Well, it’s only two nights and three days. I’ll have no choice but to put up with it.’
While thinking so. A loud snoring sound came from the side. It was Fabian.
“Elf… To eat an elf I’ve only heard of… Whoops… Oh… Can this taste of pussy…!!”
And in between, he even blows up his strict drool talk. I couldn’t fall asleep at all. The impatient sylph blocked the sound, and it got better.
‘Still, today’s training was nothing special. The important thing is tomorrow.’
It was a physical training that was hard enough to make even Fabian, who only had physical strength, fall asleep.
But I have the traits I have. As a result, mana could be converted into divine power relatively freely.
It meant that I could use simple divine spells without using the divine power that resided in me and Agnes’s rosary.
‘So is Roia. Istia, the goddess of alchemy, seems to like me quite a bit too.’
The six gods under his command bless talented students. It was natural.
After training, I restored my body with a divine spell. Both body and mind are fine. Rather, I couldn’t sleep.
Erti, who could not have known that I was not sleeping, spoke to me just in time.
[Hey. You. How can a pure holy sword like me sleep in such a dirty place? In a place full of men like this… A place that smells filthy!]
[It’s funny that the Holy Sword says that. The barracks on the battlefield would be even worse than this.]
[But at that time, I had a sheath, so it was okay. Right now with a ring like this… Half naked, so it’s troublesome! So if you don’t have a scabbard, you should at least hold me in your arms…]
As a human being, she kept saying things that I couldn’t understand. Even so, she won’t be able to sleep, she was chatting with her for a while.
Erti, which was on my ring finger, suddenly started to vibrate.
[Why do you do that, Erti? Did she go away with her dirty thoughts alone? You shake your body as if you were ejaculating.]
[T-don’t say such lewd things!! There is nothing that the Holy Sword cannot do. A man like you is really…]
[Isn’t Erti the one who suddenly resonated?]
[That’s… Wait a minute. Be quiet. Because someone is calling me.]
The words caught my attention. Although Erti was destroyed, its root was the holy sword. Because there weren’t many people who could resonate with Erti like that.
[Calling Erti. Who are you?]
[Familiar sacred power… Ah. It’s that trouble. It’s Lilia.]
[Lilia? Why is Lilia…]
[That’s not me, I’m calling you. He said he could sneak out.]
Come to think of it, it was natural. Even with all the cadets gathered here, no, even the instructors, the only one who can resonate with Erti, the holy sword, is Lillia.
I told Erti.
[Okay. Okay. Please tell Lilia that you will.]
I peeked inside the barracks. Fabian was making a lot of noise, but apparently it was just after finishing high-intensity physical training, so everyone fell asleep.
I carefully got out of the barracks. Then, Lilia, dressed in a different outfit than her usual nun uniform, was waiting for me.
