The gentleman standing at the defense table showed a gentle smile,

"Do you understand? Your enemies think so too, Third Sister."

"This is why Bai Zhouzi is not only a more powerful soldier than you, but also a tougher warrior than you."

The gentleman clasped his hands together, looked up at the sky of history, and sighed,

"As for the group of soldiers in my story, they met their real opponents at the end of their crazy march."

"Their opponents' armor is not as tough as theirs, and their weapons are not as sophisticated as theirs."

"However, those people have a hatred stronger than them, more chilling than the harshest winter, and a heart of steel."

"The armor of steel lost to the heart of steel."

"This is the final outcome of those ordinary soldiers who almost burned down the whole world."

……

"Steel armor...

Lost to...

Steel, heart..."

The third head nun's eyes were dull, and she repeated her husband's words in a murmur, as if she was talking in her sleep.

Unbelievable.

Incomprehensible.

Incredible.

But based on the deduction in her mind, based on the conclusion she found in this story,

She could only admit in great pain and gritted her teeth:

Everything sir said is true.

Even for the most perfect soldiers, when their advantages are analyzed and hatred is met with an equal amount of hatred, their mad dash and crazy march come to an end.

The joy gained through cruelty will eventually end in cruelty.

"Then...all the work I've done so far..."

"In the end, what's the point..."

The third nun collapsed and grabbed her hair, looking at the gentleman with a flat face:

"Isn't it a soldier's duty to obey orders?"

"Destroying the enemy and protecting our companions, isn't that what we should do!?"

"If the pursuit of strength to the extreme is empty and in vain, then what is the meaning of being a soldier!? Where is the goal of our war?"

"Tell me, tell me, sir!"

At this moment, Zhang Wufei and Sosuke Sagara passed by in their Double Dragon Gundam and ARX-7 Crossbow, and silently gave a thumbs up.

The gentleman complained inwardly.

But his face was still calm, with a gentle smile,

It’s like facing a student in trouble and speaking in a persuasive way:

"Third Sister, I want to correct a misunderstanding of yours."

"The goal of soldiers fighting is not to 'destroy' the enemy, but to 'reduce' the enemy."

The gentleman looked at the disbelieving look in the third nun's eyes and continued:

"In modern warfare, some experts have made statistics. Every time an innocent person is killed, forty more enemies will be made."

"Third Sister, with this indiscriminate attack, you not only blew up the doctors and the wounded, but also destroyed a civilian hospital in the border area."

After saying that, the gentleman shook his head and sighed:

"Not only did your approach not 'reduce' the number of enemies, it actually increased the number of enemies in Holy Trinity College at a terrifying speed."

"Now, do you dare to say that your approach is more rational and efficient?"

The sir's voice echoed throughout the space of the trial court.

No children were talking to each other anymore, everyone was listening and thinking carefully.

Deep in his heart, he smiled softly.

Maybe he couldn't find out all the militant factions hidden in Holy Trinity College.

However, it would be enough for him to make all the militant factions realize the short-sightedness and unsustainability of their propositions.

"But...but..."

The third nun shook her head crazily, as if trying to understand the husband's words, but her eyes were still confused.

"Sir...are you saying that we are putting our soldiers at risk for students at the border who are not even Trinity students?"

The gentleman raised his head and said with a smile:

"We can use other methods, such as sufficient intelligence and advanced tactics, to compensate for these dangers."

"but"

The gentleman changed the topic and his tone became extremely serious.

"More importantly, we must understand why we are fighting."

At this moment, the third nun and the children in the auditorium all raised their heads blankly,

She asked with some confusion:

"Aren't we fighting for the Holy Trinity?"

The gentleman nodded,

"Yes, fight for the Holy Trinity, fight to reduce the number of enemies of the Holy Trinity."

Then he took a sharp breath,

Until my chest feels so swollen,

What he is about to spit out is the most fiery declaration:

"However, if you want to truly achieve the goal of reducing enemies, you cannot limit your sights to the Holy Trinity."

"We must fight for all the hungry, cold, and suffering students and citizens of Kivotos!"

"We must fight for the unity of Kivotos!"

……

The loud words of the gentleman immediately caused a huge sensation.

Countless discussions and shouts almost lifted the ceiling of the entire trial court.

Because the students of Holy Trinity have never thought about this problem.

Even the Treaty of Eden, which was regarded as a hope for peace, was just an 'armistice clause'.

As for uniting all of Kivotos?

No madman would have thought of that.

No madman has ever done it.

The third head nun felt that she was really going crazy.

Countless voices and thoughts assaulted her mind. She used her rationality to simulate tens of thousands of possible developments, but her husband's crazy declaration still exceeded her wildest imagination.

She felt it was difficult to breathe, and she yelled hoarsely:

"Unite all of Kivotos!? Is this possible, sir!?

You must unite the students of Holy Trinity, the demons with horns on their heads in Gehena, and the thousand-year-old nerds who don’t even have faith...! ? "

The gentleman's smile was calmer and more aware than ever.

"It's not impossible, it's a reality that has already happened."

"Although Gehena and Holy Trinity maintain a hostile relationship in name, their private business, exchange of goods, and secret exchanges between students have never been cut off."

"As for Millennium College, have you forgotten that Holy Trinity's research data analysis is all left to them?"

"Also, in the civilian hospital that you blew up, those selfless medical students never held any form of academic prejudice. They treated all injured students regardless of the academy and without compensation."

He only felt that his heart was being held hostage by some powerful force that did not belong to him.

But his mood was extremely calm, and he spoke the conclusion of the trial in a calm and steady tone:

"Third Sister,"

"College exchanges are a general trend that cannot be stopped by any force or thing."

"Of course soldiers need to obey orders, but soldiers should also use their own judgment."

"In this regard, I think you should ask Bai Zhouzi for advice seriously."

……

"...Based on the above facts, the trial court made the following verdict regarding Bai Zhouzi's espionage charge:"

"Bai Zhouzi, not guilty."

……

The gavel inlaid with brass fell down, and with a crisp knock, Bai Zhouzi's crimes had been completely washed away.

She walked up the aisle of the trial hall and walked out of the slightly depressing door.

Along the way, she faced greetings from many students she knew and didn't know, passed through the pure white marble corridor, and entered the newly built auditorium hall of Holy Trinity College.

The clear sunlight of early spring and half summer shines on the semi-transparent dome, and in the center of the hall is a golden fountain statue.

Right there, her friends in the tutoring club, Hifumi, Koharu, and Hanako, were waiting for her with excited expressions and moist eyes.

There is also a teacher with gentle gray eyes.

Oh...well, there is also Nagisa Kirito, who is so tired that the dark circles under her eyes have almost turned into smoky makeup, and she hasn't even taken care of her feathers for a week.

Her current appearance is comparable to that of Tsurugi-san who has completed the Justice Department.

"Xiao Zi!"

"Xiao Zi!"

Bai Zhouzi didn't even have time to speak before he was overwhelmed by the warm embrace.

She raised her head with difficulty and saw that Xiaochun and Hifumi's faces turned into tabby cats from crying.

Hanako, who was very rare, did not wipe her hands, but happily wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Ah, by the way, in order to celebrate Azusa-san's safe return, let's start a celebratory nude stockings party tonight! It's best to invite Mr. too!"

The preface is withdrawn, Hanako is still the same Hanako.

By the way, the moment Hanako made this suggestion, the other two people in the tutoring department held her head down in a tacit understanding.

Bai Zhouzi was a little embarrassed by the excessive intimacy and warm hugs from his companions, so he had to raise his head and look around.

Then she saw that the current supreme leader of the Holy Trinity, the chief of the tea party, Nagisa Kirito——

She was buried in the teacher's chest, flapping her messy wings, whimpering like a spoiled little girl:

"Wow~~~~! Sir, I was so close, so close to dying from exhaustion!"

"Okay, okay." The gentleman gently stroked her back.

"I have worked very hard, worked very hard, right!? So taking a two-day break... no, one day or something is completely allowed, right?!"

"Yeah, okay, no problem, no problem."

The gentleman blinked his gentle gray eyes, like a kind old father, letting Kirito Nagisa act coquettishly in his arms.

"..."

Bai Zhouzi subconsciously curled up his lips.

Although Kirito Nagisa-sama looks miserable and tired now,
