Chapter 35

TL-Mechatronic

“What?”

She laughed out of the blue at the sudden remark. Jean looked up at her with sentimental eyes.

“When you first came here, you were only this big.”

Nina’s face turned sour when Jean opened his thumb and index finger.

“No, I don’t think I’ve ever been that small since I was

born.”

“No, it was this big. You’re all grown up now.” Nina looked down at him with her arms folded and laughed.

“Yes, I’m already all grown up. I’m the commander now.”


Nina and he are seven years apart. When she first saw him, he was already an adult, and now, she’s already of age too.

“I thought I won’t be able to see you grow up.”

While speaking, he suddenly frowned and said,

“No, come to think of it, are you even an adult now?” “Right? I am 20 years old.”

“Don’t you need to subtract 2 years?”

“Two years have passed, how do I subtract two years?”

I’m 20 years old.

At Nina’s insistence, Jean made a subtle face and then sighed.

“Right, right.”

He tried to sweep his hair but stopped. He can’t ruin his well-made hair.

“Anyway, Nina La Dell, boss. Now wherever you go, won’t let you go alone.”

I won’t leave you like that day.

Nina frowned at his personal oath.

“What is this a stalker declaration?”

“Whatever you say.”

Jean raised his voice, sighing deeply, picked her up from the stool, and dropped her on the floor. He said, in a small voice.

“Nina.”

“Hmm?”

“Can I just stroke your head one last time?”

She looked up at Jean at those words. His green eyes were looking at her as if he was embarrassed.

Nina realized that after she became the commander, he had never patted her head. She smiled and said with her head down.

“Only once?”

“Yeah.”

Jean patted her head very carefully and slowly. As Nina lifted her head, he smiled. “Then would you like to go, commander?” “We should go.”

Nina walked out and Jean followed her.

There was already a crowd of people waiting on the training ground. She was impressed that this many could gather at such short notice that it exceeded her expectation.

When the two people wearing long coats appeared, attention was focused on them at once.

“Right, isn’t the all-black uniform cool? I think so too.’

Even though the former Duke of Luverne didn’t know anything else, the uniforms were awesome.

Because coats are only given to the elite, the only ones currently wearing coats are Nina and Jean. The members of the Dark Knights who had already been out in stand-by gave a salute.

“Welcome to all of you here. I am Nina La Dell, the Commander of the Dark Knights.”

As soon as her words were finished, a bewildered sound of breathing rang here and there. Nina ignored the sounds and continued.

“The test is very simple. You just have to slash your weapon down from top to bottom once in front of me. I’ll decide to pass you or not from that.”

As soon as Nina’s words were finished, there was a murmur. It was by no means favorable. Jean’s face wrinkled. He tried to open his mouth, but a big guy shouted first.

“It’s ridiculous!!”

“Who was that just now?”

As Nina turned her head, the man strode out. He was almost two meters tall and his body was as big as a barrel.

He seemed to have come after hearing rumors while he was being a bandit somewhere.

“We’re being tested by a corruption-ridden little girl like you? That’s funny. Get the right person in charge!”

Nina grinned.

“You idiot.”

“…What?”

“You idiot, you don’t know who the person in front of you is, idiot. Even beasts know the difference between the strength of their opponents, idiot.”

“You, you little girl!”

The man drew a great sword. Nina raised her hand to stop Jean from going forward. “Why? Would you like to challenge me? Try it. If you can hit me once, I’ll let you join the Order.”

“I don’t go easy on kids, little girl!” “I know, you look so mean.” “This!”

Without a signal, he swung the huge sword. The man quickly struck the sword from top to bottom. Even Jean was caught off guard, but Nina avoided the sword by taking a big step back.

The sword hit the floor with a loud noise.

“Thud!”

As he lifted the sword again, Nina stepped on the blade,

Clang.

A sharp metal sound rang. Everyone could see that there was an iron plate underneath her boots. The man tried to lift the sword, but it wouldn’t budge.

“This!”

The man whose face turned red tried to pull back instead of lifting the sword. The next moment, the sword fell out as it became lighter, then he grabbed the handle of his sword and tried to fight again.

Nina’s clenching fist and her waist came into view.

“Ha!”

Nina slapped him in the face with a cute shout.

With the sound of cracking bones, the large man’s body soared away as if he was blasted like a canyon and struck on the barricade of the training ground.

Everyone looked at the man shaking with his mouth wide open.

‘Did he just fly?’

”I think he just hit the floor and then bounced up?”

Probably, he would have to live with liquid food for his entire life. The gazes toward the man immediately turned to Nina.

Nina smiled, lifted with one hand the sword he had dropped and began to spin it.

“I can handle greatswords, but it’s difficult to carry around.”

Twirling, the big sword turned as light as a wooden sword in her hand. There was an ugly sound that cut across the wind, and her long coat fluttered lightly

Bang!

Nina laughed as she put the sword on the floor.

“So who else is dissatisfied?”

It was quiet everywhere. Nina tilted her head and said,

“However, I think I’d just change the test. I don’t think it’s enough with just a single strike. I think it would be much better to prove yourselves by sparring.”

“What do you mean… sparring?”

Jean tried to speak briefly as if asking what she was talking about, but she quickly added.

“Yes. So, let’s proceed.”

Nina clenched her fist and grinned before he could say anything again, she explained.

‘That man just let his guard off.’ ‘There must be some trick.’ “Isn’t this a scam? I’m sure there are people who would do that.

Nina’s voice rang clearly in the training hall.

“I’m going to run the test myself and select from them.”

She snapped her neck like a bully.

“Take your weapon and come at me. I’ll take this out if it’s necessary.”

The gathered people couldn’t even understand the situation, so they looked at each other and made only embarrassed expressions.

“Aren’t you coming? Then I will go!!”

Nina kicked the ground.

Raja Gotha was one of the people from the Gotha family who came out to join the Dark Knights. He was 18 this year and was quite confident in his talent.

Until today, until now.

“Ahh!!”

“Ouch!!” “Wake up! Don’t lose your weapon!”

It was a physical movement, fast, like a black flash of light. A long coat fluttered like a cape, but people’s weapons could not even touch the hem of the coat. If she hits a person with her fist, he is out. No one could stand more than one shot.

Sometimes those who were kicked would fly farther.

Those who came in groups tried to merge in teams of two or three, sometimes up to four or five but were all defeated.

An absolute overwhelming force.

“This is the Dark Knights.’

The silver-colored hair and black clothes contrasted,


He had goosebumps all over his body.

‘So Cool!’ Raja squeezed his sword with both hands. He had to show his impressive performance here somehow to get a pass.

He avoided the shortening of the distance with his feet in an instant. He could see the golden eyes smiling as if she was having fun.

Looking at her, Raja swung the sword around. The opponent escaped easily, but one more time he moved forward without shaking!

He definitely swung into a blind spot, but the commander suddenly stuck out her head right in front of him. He took a step back without realizing, and his hand was immediately caught.

‘That’s ridiculous!’

“You’re good. Pass.”

“Ah.”

Joy was also a brief emotion, he was hit in the solar plexus and the memory of his body floating was the last thing he remembered.

About a hundred people came to take the test that day, but only about ten passed. Raja Ghota was proudly named a successful candidate.
