As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

"Wow...that's amazing!!" On the other side, Alvitt excitedly recorded every word Rita and Durandal had just said on her small and exquisite terminal.

While taking notes, he kept muttering to himself, "These are all treasures!! If I could write these into stories, they would definitely attract countless people's attention!"

At this moment, the other team members stared in horror at what was behind Arvit, their bodies seemingly frozen in place, looking at Arvit with pity.

However, Alvitt, who was immersed in excitement, was completely unaware of the strange atmosphere around her and continued talking to herself.

"Why aren't you all saying anything? Don't you think what I said makes a lot of sense? Let me tell you, even if you beg me on your knees to share these things with you, I absolutely will not easily agree..."

Just as Alvit was speaking at length, a seductive yet slightly teasing voice suddenly came from behind her: "Nothing will happen, Alvit..."

The sudden sound was like a bolt from the blue, instantly freezing the previously eloquent Alvette in place. Her face turned deathly pale, and a fine layer of sweat even appeared on her forehead.

The next second, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Arvitt hurriedly hid the terminal behind her back, then turned around, trying to appear calm and composed, and stammered.

"Wh...nothing at all, Vice Captain, you must have misheard. Really, nothing at all!" She spoke eloquently, but her shifty eyes and slightly trembling hands betrayed her true thoughts.

"Really? I hope so." Rita nodded in satisfaction, then said nothing more, gracefully moving towards the other team members. Each step seemed to resonate with everyone's hearts.

When she approached her teammates, she still wore that seemingly friendly smile. But upon closer inspection, one could find no trace of a smile in her captivating wine-red eyes, only an unfathomable chill.

"What did you all hear just now?" Rita asked softly, her tone as gentle as a spring breeze, but the pressure contained within made everyone present feel breathless.

"We...we didn't hear anything!!" Faced with Rita's appearance, the members of the Undying Blade team seemed to be frozen in place, instantly straightening their bodies, closing their eyes tightly, and answering loudly in unison.

"Oh? Really?" Rita raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the group of team members who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy with a half-smile, and then asked, "What were you all doing here just now?"

"We...we were just training, we didn't see anything!" the team members quickly added, beads of sweat already forming on their foreheads.

"Hmm, that's good~" Hearing this reply, Rita finally nodded in satisfaction, indicating her approval. Then, she turned and walked towards Arvit, her steps unhurried.

As she approached, Rita extended her fair, jade-like hand and gently patted Alvitt's shoulder, her movements as tender as if she were handling a fragile treasure.

However, what came out of her mouth was quite the opposite: "Alvit, I don't want to be too explicit, but there are some things that I still feel only the dead have the right to keep secret, don't you think?"

Rita spoke as casually as if she were discussing the weather, but the underlying threat was all too clear.

A chill ran down her spine, and her entire back felt icy cold. She inwardly groaned, realizing that Rita had likely seen through her earlier actions.

“I…I understand, Vice Captain.” Alvitt said tremblingly, looking like a frightened little rabbit. She reached into her pocket, pulled out her terminal, and slowly held it up in front of her under Rita’s cold gaze.

Her fingers trembled slightly, as if this small movement had exhausted all her strength. When she opened the terminal interface, it displayed the scenes that had just unfolded.

Alvitt took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and resolutely pressed the delete button. With a soft beep, the images vanished without a trace.

"I didn't see anything..." After doing all this, Arvit looked up at Rita with an almost pleading look, her voice barely audible. "We were just doing training..."

Rita walked forward without a word and snatched the terminal from Alvitt's hand. After carefully checking it and confirming that all relevant content had been completely deleted, her tense expression relaxed slightly.

Then, a smug smile bloomed on her lips, as beautiful and charming as a flower in spring. "Very good, I hope you can always be this obedient."

Rita nodded in satisfaction and praised softly. However, at that moment, she suddenly turned her head, her sharp gaze sweeping across the other team members like lightning. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines and involuntarily lowered their heads, unable to meet her eyes.

"If there's a next time, don't blame me for being impolite," Rita said coldly, her tone full of threat. Before the words were even finished, she turned around and strode away with elegant steps.

Watching Rita's departing figure, the team members fell silent, not daring to utter a sound. Only when Rita's figure completely disappeared from sight did they breathe a sigh of relief, as if waking from a dream. At this moment, Arvit felt as if she had been granted a pardon, collapsing to the ground and panting heavily.

"Phew... thank goodness, I almost lost my life." Alvitt patted her chest, muttering to herself with lingering fear. Recalling the terrifying scene just now, she still felt a chill run down her spine.

"Yeah, who would have thought the vice-captain would arrive so quickly..." a team member next to her couldn't help but interject. Her face also wore an expression of relief, and a fine layer of sweat clung to her forehead.

"What...are you talking about?" Just as everyone had caught their breath, Bianca's clear voice suddenly rang out behind them. The sudden sound instantly made the slightly relaxed atmosphere tense again.

"Have you all finished today's training? You can't be this lazy," Bianca said as she walked closer to the group.

Upon hearing Bianca's words, everyone was filled with despair. They slowly turned their heads, their faces filled with sorrow, and silently gazed at Bianca.

"Slacking off is absolutely unacceptable. We are soldiers, people who face life-or-death tests at any time and may die unexpectedly at any moment."

"We bear the heavy responsibility of protecting the fate of everyone, and we must always maintain a high level of vigilance and strong capabilities. Only in this way can we step forward when a crisis strikes and protect those who need our protection..."

However, the members of the Undying Blade were finding it hard to bear Bianca's earnest lecturing. Seeing that Bianca was about to launch into another long-winded speech, the members all looked terrified.

"Captain Bianca, we were wrong!! Let's start training now!!" Someone shouted, and the other team members immediately realized what had happened and scattered like startled birds.

Meanwhile, the lightning-fast team members, who were sprinting along, were secretly groaning inwardly. Their captain, while sometimes a bit silly, was truly deadly when she got serious!

Once Bianca starts lecturing, it's like she's opened a floodgate; she talks on and on, unable to stop. Thinking about this, everyone couldn't help but cast reproachful glances at Alvit, the one who first started the conversation and got caught.

"Strange?" Bianca looked at the group running wildly, accompanied by lightning, tilted her head in confusion, then, as if she had thought of something, a smile appeared on her lips, and she turned and walked towards her room.

Some time later, in Himeko's dormitory at St. Freya Academy, Chenyuan and Fu Hua secretly slipped out of the room while Theresa was taking a bath, and soon arrived in the city surrounding St. Freya Academy.

Fu Hua wandered through the city, turning left and right, until she finally arrived at a spacious square. Chen Yuan peeked out from Fu Hua's shoulder, observing the vast square.

After watching for a while, they discovered that apart from the two of them, there wasn't a single person in the entire square! Instantly, Chen Yuan's face turned as black as if it had been stained with ink, covered with countless black lines.

"You've contacted Otto, haven't you?" Chen Yuan patted his forehead and sighed. "We've waited here for so long, could that bastard Otto have deliberately stood us up? Could it be... he's completely forgotten about us?"

Hearing Chen Yuan's complaints, Fu Hua didn't know what to say. She gently tapped the glasses on her nose, and after a faint light flashed, an image that only she could see slowly appeared on the lenses.

"I did arrange to meet Otto here..." Fu Hua muttered to herself, staring intently at the image before her, "There shouldn't be any mistake..."
