Kivotos Warlord Development Manual

That’s right, they don’t seem to be students of the Millennium, and the patrol robot next to them didn’t make any moves, so are they from other academies coming here to exchange ideas?

Great... I survived...

After relaxing a little of her nervous mood, the orange-haired girl took a breath and explained in a low voice.

"We are going to the auditorium for class. Today we will be talking about the latest software programming tools and actual machine effect demonstrations. Because there will be a live interactive demonstration, everyone rushed here early in the morning... Um... Do you want to sit in on the class together?"

After hearing what the other party said, Qianye looked at his companions blankly and asked in confusion: "So the thousand-year-old students still need to attend classes... I thought they would not need to attend classes after they were promoted to the high school department..."

"I think Gehenna is the only one who doesn't have to go to class... I remember that it seems like passing the club activities is enough? Wait, I used to be in the sports club, so it's okay, but Hei has never joined any club, right? What about your grades?"

Xiaocha also looked at Xiaohei in confusion, while Xiaohei, with a complicated expression, rolled his eyes at her and Qianye and sighed helplessly.

"Who said that Gehenna doesn't need to go to class? Students who have clubs can use the learning progress of the education BD and the results of club activities instead of exams. Those who don't have clubs can submit their own learning results or directly participate in the tests organized by the academy."

"Why do you think Xing-chan and the others hate the guys in the Mechanical Development Department so much? I heard that according to their original activity plan, they could have submitted a very valuable report, but in the end, the investigation plan that invested a lot of resources was ruined by the Mechanical Development Department."

"You all know what happened later. They gambled all their assets to run the fishing park, but the location was polluted. Now they are determined to rebuild the whole factory and are launching a war of revenge against the Mechanical Development Department."

"Hiss, so the situation in other clubs is the same?"

Xuefeng was shocked after hearing Xiaohei's explanation. She had never touched any educational BD since she met Qianye...

"I heard about it, too. I'm not sure about the actual situation, but I heard that the situation of the camping club, mountaineering club, and astronomy club is similar to that of Xing-chan and the others. They are all affected by the mechanical development club's activities."

"The riding club is a very powerful club. They just want to fight with the other side and get revenge."

"I don't know about the Folklore Research Department. Those guys always look so nervous. Based on past experience, they might think that the activities of the Mechanical Development Department have disturbed some unspeakable existence."

Xiao Hei shrugged helplessly. She felt that it was strange for her club, which had no hostile relationship with the Mechanical Development Department, to be able to participate in the coalition's operations.

But when I think about the relationship between the director and the fishing club, and her rumored righteous character, it seems to make sense...

As he was thinking about it, Xiao Hei suddenly had an idea in his mind, and then he looked up at Xuefeng with a horrified expression.

"Bullmaster, please don't neglect your studies. If you fail to pass the school assessment due to lagging behind in study progress and insufficient results in club activities, the entire club will be in trouble!"

"Why is there such a rule?!"

Xuefeng was immediately shocked when he heard what Xiaohei said, and then he seemed to have thought of something and said quickly: "I see Xia and Haruna playing outside every day, it seems that nothing is wrong?"

"Huh? Are you talking about the directors of the Hot Spring Development Department and the Gourmet Research Club? Director Kasumi got full marks in geology, and Director Haruna is always wanted by the Discipline Committee, but I haven't heard that she has any problems with her studies..."

"These two people should be top students through and through."

Seeing Xiao Hei's worried look on his face about his grades, Xuefeng felt a surge of grief and anger in his heart.

It felt like I, a poor student, had been having fun with a group of top students with good grades for a whole summer. I thought everyone had tacitly agreed not to do their homework, but when the teacher collected the homework, I said very frankly that I had not done my homework. As a result, those friends who had been having fun with me for a whole summer came to me in shock.

So you didn’t finish your homework before the holiday?

Then why do you still want to come out and play?

Is there really someone who goes out to play without doing homework? !

Are you stupid?

Let's not play with idiots...

Idiot~Idiot~Idiot~

I'm sorry, Mom, my life is probably over...

"It's okay, Buchou. Let's have extra lessons together after this war. I just happened to have promised to give extra lessons to Naoko. It's easy for someone as talented as Buchou to get high marks. And don't look at me like this now. Xiao Hong and I are both top students with very good grades."

"Are you two angels!~"

Xuefeng, feeling relieved, excitedly patted Xiaohei's shoulder, as if he wanted to convey his gratitude to him.

However, after hearing their conversation, the thousand-year-old girl with orange-red hair next to her fell into fear again.

Gehenna Academy...

That legendary super scary autonomous region full of thugs, where even cats and dogs who accidentally pass by will be beaten up...

The students who can gather in that academy are the ultimate existences that stand above all the thugs.

She originally thought that this urban legend was just a joke from Kivotos, but she didn't expect that she would actually meet someone from Gehenna Academy...

And they are really as scary as the rumors say!

Students would actually attack each other and be unable to complete their studies...even if they had to retake the course, they would drag the other person into the same situation as themselves...

The guy in front of me, called the Minister, is even more terrifying. He would even give up studying just to fight...

Damn it, I actually knew such horrible information...

Ah! She's looking over here!

I must be silenced!

"Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have realized this great crisis. I'm Kuroki Ritsuko from the Gehenna War Research Department. Um, I'm a good friend of the head of your Millennium Academy's Truth Department, Meixing Himari. Can I add you as a friend on MomoTalk?"

Xiao Hei, who had greatly increased the minister's favorability, happily took out his mobile phone, ready to make friends with this new cute girl. Then he saw the other party respectfully holding her mobile phone and handing it to him.

"You don't have to be so polite, haha. Let me see... um, Hanaoka Yuzu-san, please take care of me in the future!~"

"Yes! I'm Hanaoka Yuzu from the Millennium Science Academy game development department! Please take care of me!"

Xiao Hei's words seemed to trigger some key words, causing Youzi, who had been tense all the time, to bow straightly immediately. Xiao Hei was so scared that he quickly helped her up.

After returning the phone with the cute cat stickers, Xiao Hei complained helplessly: "You will be easily bullied like this, but if you are bullied, come to us. The tradition of the War Research Department is to not fear violence and practice justice, right, Minister?"

"How can a club that has only been established for two days have traditions... Yes, yes, as long as you are happy..."

Xuefeng, who wanted to complain, was glared at by Chiba and others. Then, when she saw the girl opposite her with a look of being bullied, she simply added her as a MomoTalk friend.

Although this girl doesn't look like she can fight very well, it's a good thing for her to meet some high-tech talents. Besides, I wouldn't be able to stand it if such a good kid bullied me.

After the girls from the War Research Department added Yuzu as their friend, Xuefeng and the others said goodbye to her warmly and watched her jog into the Millennium Tower.

However, not long after they left Millennium Academy, everyone fell asleep again. Chiba was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes and even fell to the ground with a thud.

Seeing that his companions were about to reach their limits, Xuefeng simply found a hotel nearby that looked quite upscale.

After finding the place according to the navigation on her mobile phone, Yukikaze, who was so sleepy that she seemed to have used "focus moment" a dozen times, slapped the bank card that Himari stuffed into her on the counter.

"Find us a suite that can accommodate 5 people, send us some food, and don't disturb us before we check out..."

"Okay, do you need any other services? We also provide personalized room layout, weapon maintenance, ammunition supply, equipment procurement, clothing..."

After taking the bank cards, the robot teller at the counter did not immediately help them arrange a room. Instead, it started to introduce the hotel's special services.

"None! We just want to find a place to sleep quickly!"

Seeing dark circles under her eyes through the shiny counter, Xiaocha angrily interrupted the other party's introduction.

"Okay, room 18 on the 1805th floor. Breakfast will be delivered in 10 minutes!"

Seeing that the girls outside the counter all had murderous looks on their faces, the teller was very tactful and quickly collected the fees and returned the bank card and room card.

"By the way, I would like to remind all customers that the underground parking lot of this hotel is a private area not open to the public, so please do not go there."

"Huh? We didn't drive here..."

"Stop talking so much and go to your room and sleep!"

Xiaocha, who was in a very low mood, grabbed two cards and the expense receipt, and then dragged Xiaohei, who had a question mark on his face, towards the elevator.

Xuefeng, who was carrying Qianjiang on his back, also hurriedly called Xiaohong to go over, but he saw a group of strange students in black clothes and black pants pushing Xiaocha away and letting a robot with a pointed chin and monkey face enter the elevator first.

Seeing that the furious Xiaocha was about to raise her submachine gun to explain to them the first-come-first-served rule, Xuefeng, who saw that there were a lot of people coming from the other side, hurried over to stop her.

"Let's go to bed first... We can talk about other things after we get some sleep. We are all guests of this hotel anyway."

Realizing that her minister was planning to settle the score with them after everyone had rested, Xiaocha, who was so sleepy that her head was aching, put away her submachine gun and walked towards the nearby elevator after glaring at the other side.

When Xuefeng and her group entered the elevator, Xiaohong, who had been holding her phone, showed them the screen.

"I did some research on this hotel. I heard that there are many problem students staying here, so ordinary people rarely come here."

"Hey, are the problem students at Millennium Academy that rich? I see the fees on the receipt are over 100,000!"

Xiaocha quickly took out the receipt she had just received and showed it to everyone.

"It's probably some kind of black industry disguise... Black market traders active in Gehenna also like to open some normal shops and factories..."

"Anyway, what they do in the Millennium Region has nothing to do with us. We can go looking for trouble with them after we wake up..."

Xuefeng managed to pull himself together and shook his head. As he spoke, the elevator reached the 18th floor.

Unable to hold back her sleepiness, Xiaocha rushed out of the elevator first, found room 1805 as the teller said, then quickly kicked off her shoes and threw herself on the big bed in the inner bedroom.

Looking at the shirt and skirt gently falling onto the carpet, Xuefeng held his forehead helplessly.

“Why is there only one bed in the suite here...”

"Forget it, the size of you guys is big enough to sleep on this bed, and there are still plenty of quilts in the closet, so Naoko and I will sleep on the carpet... Xiaocha will go take a shower first!"

"Ah... Minister, please forgive me... I can't open my eyes anymore..."

Xiaocha, who covered herself with the quilt, begged for mercy pitifully. Xuefeng put down Qianjiang who had fallen asleep and dragged Xiaocha, who had her eyes closed, out from under the quilt.

"Your body and feet are all sweaty. You will feel uncomfortable when you wake up. I'll wash them for you. Please sit still and don't move."

"Huh... Then I'll hold on a little longer... Hold on a little longer..."

Chapter 30 Iroha's Discovery

Abandoned tank emplacement base.

While Miss Xuefeng was sleeping soundly, a certain red-haired guy was shuttling between the cold, oil-stained steel.

Time goes back to 5 hours ago.

She had wanted to continue her investigation at the abandoned car park last night, but without Yukikaze's urging, she read a comic book in the rest room of the Pandemonium tank hangar and fell asleep.

When she woke up the next morning, she realized that she still had to continue her investigation that day, so she first looked at the empty MomoTalk message board, wondering whether she should ask Xuefeng if she had time now. However, when she saw the message Xuefeng left for her, she immediately gave up the idea.

"Iroha-chan, we're back with our money!"

"But we spent the whole night with the big money sponsor of Millennium Academy..."

『Tired girls of the war research department.jpg』

"Sorry, I need to get a good night's sleep this morning. See you in the afternoon!"

Yesterday I heard her say that she was going to earn enough funds for the War Research Department's activities, but I didn't expect that she went to Millennium Academy...

And was it successful so quickly?

This message makes me feel bad...

Hmm...looking at the time when the message was sent, she should be asleep now, right?

Timing is always unfortunate...

After confirming that his hope of finding a helper to work together was dashed, Iroha left a message on Yukikaze's Momotalk, asking her to find him at the abandoned tank base after she woke up. He also sent a message to Makoto saying that he would be out investigating for a few more days.

It's normal to be less efficient when doing things by yourself.

After sending the message, the red-haired ball opened his windbreaker, stretched himself, scratched his furry head in a very ungraceful manner, grabbed two black socks at hand and went into the restroom in the lounge.

After more than an hour of washing and slacking off, Councilman Iroha, with a bitter face, climbed into the cockpit of Toramaru under the gaze of other crew members, and slowly drove to the abandoned tank hull base.

On the way here, she was still thinking that no matter whether she could find any clues about the theft and sale of the tank today, she had to catch Xuefeng and have her work together to complete the assembly of the new tank.

As a result, when she arrived near the cleared chariot wreckage, the red-haired girl immediately realized that she might not even have time to take care of the new chariot today.

There were obvious cutting marks on all the abandoned chariots that were pressed at the bottom, and judging from the degree of rust on those broken ends, the time taken by the other party to take action was definitely no more than a month.

Someone really stole the chariot parts right under the nose of the Pantheon, modified them into those low-quality iron coffins and sold them on the black market.

After carefully walking around the chariot wreckage for several times, Iroha soon discovered some inconspicuous footsteps and dragging marks, and then found a gap between the ruins that looked like a passage.

Based on the clues outside, Iroha roughly guessed the other party's modus operandi and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he went in through the dark and narrow space, intending to see what these guys had done under the nose of Pandemonium.

He stumbled and bumped his head several times along the way, and even the two socks on his calves were scratched and torn. Iroha finally passed through a movable door made of the wreckage of an A7V tank and came to a spacious space supported by the wreckage of several bridge-building tanks.
