Kingdom of Warmhausen.

To compare Warmhausen, it would be very accurate to think of the modern West.

They had different characteristics from the Kingdom of Groden in the center of the continent, the Sistine State, and the Chaoxing Empire in the east.

That’s steampunk.

The Warmhausen Kingdom, which has extremely advanced technology in the fields of high-strength and high-quality mass production, smelting technology, and engineering technology, is different from the Groden Kingdom, which is presented as an arcane punk, or the Chaoxing Empire, which is also presented as a biopunk. It was a country that developed into a

The only weapon they did not have was probably a firearm using gunpowder.

But what they already had was enough to build the foundation of a country.

The source of Warmhausen’s power was the enormous mass production capacity reminiscent of the former Soviet Union, and the large-scale armored wave generated by the combination of various manned and unmanned weapon systems.

This is the Kingdom of Groden, where magic arts that lead to genocide techniques and swordsmen with outstanding skills combine symmetrical and asymmetrical firepower appropriately.

In addition, the Chaoxing Empire, which possessed the so-called ‘transcendants’, a group of warriors with strong combat power based on gene synthesis and manipulation, artificial mutation, and forced evolution, was also able to serve as a deterrent to prevent them from being surpassed.

Among the weapons produced by the craftsmen of Warmhausen with the essence of their skills, some were exported to other countries at high prices, and this mechanized longsword was one of them.

‘This… … For sure… … ‘

No matter how much she thought about it, Anne felt that this was definitely an object she had seen before, so she concentrated as much as she could and began to recall her memories.

I don’t know why, but this memory never comes to mind.

Anne, who had been feeling uncomfortable for no reason, glared at the two second graders who were charging towards her with wide eyes.

I don’t know why, but my mind feels clearer.

It felt like the dark clouds that had filled my head, which I had been feeling until the professor scolded me, my wooden sword was taken away, and I was kicked out, were receding.

“I… To people like you… … ”

“Die!!”

“I won’t lose… !!”

A pure white sword that swings as quickly as it is light.

Anne turned the body of the sword and quickly struck the opponent’s neck with a sword-back strike, and as if floating to the side in that posture, she narrowly avoided the sword coming from the other side.

Anne, who had been keeping her eyes on the blade passing in front of her nose as if watching it in slow motion, swung her arm again, and this time, the other person, who had been stabbed right in the side of the head with the back of the sword, also fell to the floor with a loud noise.

Anne let out a small expression of admiration as she glanced at the sword being swung with balance even though her posture was slightly broken.

‘amazing… It’s a really good sword… … ‘

As she, who defeated two opponents in an instant, slowly raised her sword again, a melee began with a shout from an angry follower.

‘You must avoid it first.’

Because she had always learned the dangers of many-to-one combat, Anne was using terrain features to avoid being surrounded as much as possible.

The place I was in was a flower bed surrounded by a circular fence.

Unlike before, she had a sword in her hand, and now it was possible to keep the opponent in check with a fence as a boundary, so from now on, a situation was created where her training experience could also be put to good use.

Anne quickly ran to the other side, jumped over the fence, and left the flower bed, posing with the flower bed between her.

However, the confrontation with the followers, who were not letting their guard down no matter how many they were, began with the sudden advance of one follower who seemed excited for a moment.

“I’ll kill you!!”

“Hey.. hey!!”

The follower, who was trying to climb over the fence in an instant, was hit on the head by a fast-flying sword strike due to the gap that appeared as soon as he climbed over the fence, and ended up rolling on the ground.

And out of the three followers who were startled by their colleague’s sudden leap and tried to jump forward, two followers started rolling around in the flower bed as if they were caught in something, and in the end, it was the one follower who had to deal with Anne alone.

“Pu.. I got caught in the root… !! This won’t fall off… !!”

She ended up making a mistake because she was dealing with Anne, who was crossing swords with her, and at the same time was embarrassed by the situation of her colleagues who were unable to get up from their seats.

In the end, she was struck in the side of the head by the back of Anne’s sword, who had caught the large gap, and she staggered and flew.

When Anne plunged into her arms and stabbed the sword handle into her abdomen, the follower fell unconscious, clutching his stomach.

The remaining followers woke up late and tried to deal with Anne, but now all of their colleagues had fallen, and the two remaining followers were unable to demonstrate their great abilities.

They were two people who tried to pass the exam, but like most bad-ass students, it was difficult for them to be great as individuals.

Because they prioritized numbers over individual skills, they were all defeated by Anne’s attack, which aimed to destroy them individually.

“Ugh… … ”

Eventually, a small sigh began to flow from Anne’s mouth as she looked around at the shepherds scattered around the flower bed.

“Wheewoo… … ”

When the battle was over and her hand slowly lost strength, the mechanical longsword began to fold back as if it sensed this, and was once again transforming into a white rod of the appropriate length.

Anne suddenly felt that, and once again strengthened her hand and pulled out the sword.

-Charrr

I’m sure I’ve seen this item somewhere before.

Looking down at this long sword, which she had accidentally caught while reaching behind her back when she almost hit a large flower stem, she suddenly found herself lost in thought.

Right at that moment.

“Aaaaa!!”

The image of a bully who had thought she had collapsed, screaming and attacking Anne, was slowly being engraved on her retina.

‘ah.’

Anne, who had no posture right now, couldn’t stand up to the person who came too quickly and close and tried to kill her.

“What are they doing!!”

For a moment, a distant voice shook the flower garden, but it was too much of a problem for the guards who had now appeared and shouted from afar to rescue Anne right away.

Anne had no choice but to choose the best way she could.

Anne, who laid her sword to the side in a disheveled posture and pointed the tip of her sword at her opponent, and the body of the gangster, who was running towards her with his sword raised, collided as if they had become one piece, and by the time the guards came running, everything had already ended.

“Is it a swordsmanship club!! Duels in places other than the training room are clearly illegal…

no? He’s injured!! Call the doctor!!”

“No, he’s already dead. Get ready to settle things first.”

Anne’s heart instantly sank as she heard that voice, as if a heavy rock had been dropped.

killed a person

Also, the majority of academy students were nobles, and similarly, although those scoundrels were low-class, they were children of noble families.

Nevertheless, he was a much higher class than himself, a baron.

It was clear that this enmity would cause an even bigger turmoil than the extent of his opposition to Vivian, and there was a strong possibility that he, too, would be brought to trial by the Noble Ethics Committee.

Despite the family’s immediate situation, Anne, thinking that she had caused another accident, hurriedly attempted to make an excuse to claim her innocence.

“Wait a minute… This is force majeure… ”

However, she began to mentally shake as she watched the security guard, who did not even pretend to hear her, muttering loudly while looking at the dead female student’s body.

“Did he die instantly after being pierced through the neck? …

This is a student I saw while investigating Lady Vivian.

This student’s name is… Delena de Druwella… …

This… … What happened… … ?”

However, when Anne suddenly came to her senses after hearing the voices of the other guards, the confusion of not being able to understand the situation was ringing in Anne’s head.

“I see the name written on it, so this is my sword.

He fell and stabbed himself in the neck with his sword.

It’s a common beginner’s mistake. What about that one?”

“Body search is over.

There is no sword in sight for this young lady.

Even after searching the surrounding area, there doesn’t seem to be any other swords.

Now tell me what happened.”

“I used to be hostile towards Vivian… Because of that, these women came after me… ”

“I understand. Let’s go home first.”

While listening to Anne’s explanation, she wrote down a statement about the situation in her notebook, and when the guard took action to write down her personal information and order her to return home, Anne bowed her head to him and took a step forward.

‘what happened… It happened… … ?’

Anne’s mind, unable to understand the situation that had just occurred, was extremely complicated.

A mechanized longsword that I seem to remember seeing somewhere, suddenly appearing at a moment of danger.

When he stabbed the long sword into Yangachi’s neck and rolled on the floor in one piece, the long sword disappeared as if it had never existed from the beginning, and even Yangachi’s own sword that was stuck in Yangachi’s neck.

And as I thought back to the battle in the flower bed earlier, my sense of discomfort was growing more and more.

No matter how rotten they were, they were part of the swordsmanship club, and they were in a higher grade than him.

Doesn’t he get suddenly excited and rush over the fence by himself, or does he move without even looking at his feet, causing two of us to fall?

No matter how much they said they were idiots, it was a mistake that didn’t even seem to be basic.

Although Anne’s swordsmanship evaluation score was quite high among first-year students, compared to other students in the same year, she was just a beginner as the guards mentioned earlier.

‘I don’t understand… How on earth… … ‘

And at one point, Anne, startled by the feeling of a clicking sensation on her side that she had not felt since she was lost in her thoughts until now, placed her hand on her side.

A pure white stick hung from a tree trunk, threaded like a loop through the side of the school uniform.

It was clearly an item that had disappeared and did not exist when the previous guard searched his body.

Anne held it in front of her as if she was tearing it from a school uniform and looked down at it. There was a look of embarrassment in Anne’s eyes that could not be hidden.

The dark sky, myself falling on the floor, and a woman looking down at me.

A small murmur escaped Anne’s mouth as she remembered the blue hair and the smile on her lips.

“Vivian… … ”
