The other three members of the team had already reserved seats in the restaurant. The female soldier in white stockings with diamonds was clearly surprised when she saw Valensa, but she immediately beckoned the two women over.

Having agreed to pretend to be a couple, Valensa now intimately linked arms with Tia. The two looked more like a noble couple on an outing than students taking an exam.

"Let me introduce it to you."

After reuniting with her teammates, Tia acted as if she were genuinely introducing her girlfriend to someone, even putting her arm around Valensa's waist.

"This is Valensa, an old friend of mine, and the person I've been waiting for... From now on, she will mainly be responsible for my close protection and care. I'll have to leave the combat matters to you."

"Easy to say."

The first to respond was the female scout, who seemed to breathe a sigh of relief:

"To be honest, I'm not used to taking care of people in my daily life... Now that I have a dedicated person in charge, I'm much more relaxed."

After saying that, she extended her hand to Valensa and winked at her.

"Just call me Melody, it's nice to meet you, Valensa... We're entrusting our handsome captain to you now~~"

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."

Valensa first gently shook hands with Melody, then continued to hug Tia's arm, looking sweetly like someone who had fallen in love.

"...Tsk, they're both clearly women, what's going on...uh."

The other two scouts, the very muscular man among them, couldn't help but want to complain, but Melody stomped on his foot and glared at him.

"Yes, yes, I understand."

He sighed helplessly, and without being tactless enough to shake Valensa's hand, simply nodded.

"My name is Giroud. Welcome to the team, Miss Valensa."

“I...I...my name is Harry, and you are welcome too, Miss Valensa.”

The last elite teammate also spoke. His physique was the opposite of Giru's; he was very thin and looked somewhat socially awkward when he spoke.

...They all seem pretty normal, right? What did Tia mean when she said their personalities were strange?

Valensa responded with a gentle smile, but couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

Then she quickly found out the answer.

Because those three people suddenly appeared in the restaurant, and amidst the strange looks from many outsiders, struck a very childish pose:

"We are... the famous Three Musketeers of Suli City!"

puff!

Chapter 84 The Strange Three Musketeers

Valensa almost spat out the milk in her mouth; even though she tried her best to hold it in, a drop still trickled down the corner of her mouth.

There was nothing I could do; these three people who were just being quite serious suddenly turned into chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). It was too unexpected.

"Where did you find these three... hilarious, high-spirited teammates?"

She whispered a question in Tia's ear. Since the two were pretending to be a couple, such intimate actions would feel natural even in public.

"The three of them are indeed quite famous in Suri City, and that's not entirely unfounded."

Tia was clearly not seeing this for the first time, and remained very calm:

“Gil and Harry are both nobles in Suri City, and the Melody family also runs a jewelry store with branches throughout Fran. In addition, they do have some strength and outstanding words and deeds, so they have always been the talk of the town among adventurers in Suri City.”

"So that's it..."

Valensa nodded, inwardly sighing with a sense of exasperation.

The combination of an aristocratic scion and a rich kid, coupled with this goofy behavior, makes it hard for them not to become famous.

Moreover, although many guests at other tables in the hotel restaurant were watching with smiles on their faces, most of them found it amusing, and not many were surprised, which shows that this was not the first time the Three Musketeers had performed here.

but……

How did you two become teammates?

Valensa couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

The three musketeers are friends of the same age, and they are probably childhood friends who have grown up together. It is normal for them to act as a team. But what about Tia?

To outsiders, Tia is the kind of well-educated and refined noble lady who only lets loose when she's alone with her best friend Valensa. How could she team up with three goofballs?

"We approached Young Master You Lian on our own initiative."

This time, it was Melody who smiled and answered Valensa's question:

"Harry's family has some connections and can get a little bit of information about the War Academy... For example, among the command department candidates who registered in the fourth assembly area this year, who won the first round?"

As the renowned Three Musketeers of Suli City, we naturally follow the strongest!

"That's about it."

Tia nodded:

"After they approached me, we had a brief chat and then formed a team."

"What? Honey, you got the first win on the first level? That's amazing!"

Valensa first praised Tia shyly and sweetly, perfectly portraying the couple's dynamic, before looking at Melody and the other two with curious, beautiful eyes:

"Although I just met you guys, my darling and I have known each other since we were little... For my darling to accept you guys as teammates, you guys must be really amazing, right?"

"of course!"

Melody proudly puffed out her chest, and the rhinestones on her white stockings sparkled in the sunlight, looking incredibly dazzling.

Then she turned to look at her two companions:

"Come on, introduce yourself to the new teammate... the usual routine?"

"Okay, same as always, I'll go first!"

Upon hearing the words "the usual rules," the seemingly most indifferent burly man, Giroud, suddenly became excited.

He stood up, walked to an open space not far from the dining table, and took a deep breath.

Bang!

This inhalation caused Giru's already muscular physique to grow even larger, his entire body covered in explosive, hard muscles that stretched his highly elastic leather armor to a bulge, and even his height increased from about 1.9 meters to nearly 2.2 meters.

Boom!

Then Giru waved his hand and took out a greatsword from what appeared to be a magical storage item somewhere on his waist...

Oh, this thing can't really be called a sword anymore, it should be called a big iron plate.

It does look like a sword, about 30 centimeters wide and nearly 2 meters long, but it has no blade at all and is thicker than a door panel.

It's the kind of sword that can flatten a person with a single blow.

"Ah!"

Perhaps because they were in a restaurant, Giroud didn't dare to swing his sword too much, but instead struck a few rather cool poses with his blunt greatsword:

"A sword must be powerful and heavy, a sword must be bold and wild! My sword is the Sword of Might, and I am the Mighty Swordsman, Gilu, one of the Three Musketeers of Suli City!"

"Indeed, Giru, you look so powerful... With you in the party, most monsters would probably be crushed like minions the moment they appear, right?"

Valensa smiled and didn't hold back her praise.

Tia picked up the glass of milk, took a small sip, and whispered to Valensa:

“Giru is born with superhuman strength. His specially made bladeless sword was also made using compression technology. It weighs about the same as seven or eight of you... One strike and many enemies would be turned into this paste.”

Perhaps this is the old rule. Giroud didn't respond to Valensa's praise or Tia's explanation. He just smiled at them and continued to maintain his pose.

"I'm the second one."

Seeing this, Melody also stood up, walked to the other side of the table, and with a light touch of her toes, she spun and jumped in place like a dancer, except that she now held a rapier in her hand.

Her movements were beautiful and alluring, fully showcasing her curvaceous figure and cleverly using the refraction of light to make the diamonds embedded all over her body dazzling.

"A sword should be elegant and beautiful, a sword should be dazzling! My sword is the Shining Sword, and I am the Shining Swordsman, Melody, one of the Three Musketeers of Suli City!"

clap clap clap...

Valensa even applauded this time:

"Melody, you're so dazzling and beautiful... Your sword and your dance are both beautiful, and this outfit is fantastic too. Every time I see you, I don't know where to look..."

"Merudie is a rare sword dancer among warrior-type practitioners. While you are captivated by her beautiful figure and the brilliance of her diamonds, her sword has already pierced your vitals."

Tia further explained to Valensa:

“Gil’s sword can shatter the hard scales and shells of most monsters, while Melody’s sword can easily kill any human who is bewitched by beauty and jewelry… There probably aren’t many humans who can dislike both beautiful women and jewelry at the same time, right? And those who like both are even less of a match for Melody.”

After saying that, Tia gave Valensa a meaningful look.

Valensa pretended not to understand and just smiled.

She now genuinely enjoys both beautiful women and jewelry. If Melody were to launch a surprise attack on her, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she estimates she might... no, she definitely wouldn't be able to escape.

She not only coveted Melody's body, but also her clothes.

Of course, she would never wear such a revealing white bodysuit in front of outsiders, but if it were a long gown studded with sparkling rhinestones... I really want one!

A few months later, when the first dividend from the Nora Chamber of Commerce arrives, I'll ask Melody if I can order one for myself too.

Just as Valensa was contemplating her future life of luxury, she saw Harry stand up as well, pulling out an even stranger-looking sword...

No, this absolutely cannot be called a sword! It's a magic wand!

Chapter 85, Level 2 Test Questions

"Is this just a magic wand? Harry, you're not actually a swordsman, you're a magician, right? You can't just put a sword hilt on a wand and call yourself a swordsman!"

Valensa finally couldn't hold back and complained.

"No, I am a swordsman!"

Unexpectedly, Harry, who had previously shown some social anxiety, suddenly became tough and did not compromise even when facing Valensa, the beautiful female knight in black stockings.

He walked to the third direction next to the dining table, where he, Giru, and Melody formed an equilateral triangle, and then actually performed a few sword moves in a very convincing manner.

However, Valensa, who also practiced swordsmanship, immediately saw that it was all just for show. Harry's swordsmanship was completely weak and ineffective. He probably couldn't even beat a wild dog, let alone fight a monster.

Before Valensa could express her doubts, her eyes widened... Harry's swordsmanship was indeed lacking, but the magical incantations he secretly chanted while swinging his sword were genuine.

Composed of fire, frost, and wind pressure respectively, the three elemental swords floating beside Harry are his true swords.

"As long as I have a sword in my heart, even if I use magic, I am still a swordsman!"

Harry held his head high, looking as if he were the only one sober in a world of drunks:

"A sword should be unrestrained by form, a sword should be extraordinary! My sword is a magical sword, and I am Harry, the magical swordsman among the Three Musketeers of Suli City!"

"...Alright, you win. You're a swordsman, a very skilled swordsman."

What else could Valensa say? She could only agree.

"Haha."

Tia chuckled softly, seemingly unable to suppress her own amusement at Harry's appearance.

"I heard that Harry has always wanted to be a swordsman since he was a child, but unfortunately he only has magical talent. Every time he secretly practiced swordsmanship with Gil and Melody, he would end up covered in bruises... Fortunately, he eventually found his own unique path as a swordsman."

"It is indeed a very unique path for a 'swordsman'..."

Valensa shrugged and sighed, her mind racing as she gathered information about her team.

Gil, a powerful swordsman with superhuman strength; Melody, a sword dancer specializing in attacks against humans; Harry, an elemental mage who knows at least three types of magic: fire, ice, and wind; Tia, a support mage who is the captain; and herself, a seemingly useless but actually quite powerful female knight...

Wow, what a perfect team! I don't know how we could possibly lose!

Valensa was even more confident about the second test; she even felt that she might be able to win simply by being a pretty face.

only……

One, two, three, four, five...

"It seems we're missing one person?"

Valensa looked at Tia:
