Chapter 135 Those who are destined to die will eventually die.

"Dangerous energy in my blood? How come I didn't know that... Could it be that you, Asaki, bullied Luca and are now blaming me?"

Valensa muttered to herself:

"I am a devout follower of Her Majesty the Sun Goddess, don't talk nonsense!"

“I certainly don’t question Miss Valensa’s faith…faith originates from the heart, while the energy in the blood is mostly inherited, and they are not the same thing.”

Asaki quickly explained:

"As for Miss Valensa, you yourself don't feel this energy... probably because your bloodline talent hasn't awakened yet."

But not being awakened doesn't mean this energy doesn't exist; it's always been flowing through your body... So Miss Valencia, please pay attention in the future!

Oral administration is generally not a problem, but if injected directly into your bloodstream, it can be more deadly to humans than most poisons.

"Looks like my blood can be used as poison... This is great! From now on, if anyone dares to bully me again, I'll give them a blood transfusion and poison them to death!"

Seeing that everyone's expressions were a bit strange, Valensa could only laugh it off.

At the same time, she became more curious about her mother's identity and past... because the dangerous energy that Asashi mentioned should be inherited from her mother.

"Alright, let's not talk about Valensa for now."

Tia, who had been thinking, seemed to have come up with a solution and looked at Asaki:

"If you do your best, you can probably save a few people who received blood transfusions from Valensa?"

"Well...maybe four or five."

Asaki thought for a moment, then shook her head:

"Let's count as four. I'm not confident I can save the fifth one."

"Four people... that should be enough, how about this?"

Tia clapped her hands and looked at Luca again:

"We'll wake up the other two people who know carpentry later. Could the three of you work together to make some simple shelves and hanging panels using the materials you have on hand?"

"Shelves and hanging panels?"

Luca was completely bewildered.

"As long as it can be used to secure people to polymorphs or metal containers, it will be fine."

Tia shrugs:

"We still want to get to the main road today, but we can't abandon these workers. So, we have no choice but to find a way to take them with us while they're still asleep."

"That's it..."

Luca thought for a moment:

"If we don't consider comfort and just focus on the fixed position, it shouldn't be a big problem... After all, the three of us are only at the apprentice level in carpentry, and we can't make anything too complicated."

"As long as we can keep them in place so they don't fall, they'll wake up in a few hours anyway."

Tia nodded, then looked at Asashi:

"You just said that Valensa's blood is only extremely deadly to humans, right? What about monsters? Can the Doco be awakened by her blood?"

"The monsters should be fine."

Asaki replied:

"Monsters are much more resistant to that kind of energy than humans. Some special monster races even like that kind of energy... So Miss Valencia, you should be careful. In the eyes of some monsters, you are probably as delicious as the most exquisite dessert."

"……I see."

Valensa silently memorized this information, thinking she might need it later.

Tia's plan was quickly implemented.

Valensa lost a lot of blood, and even though she could use her mental powers to enhance her blood production speed, she was still pale, weak, and powerless. So she simply hooked her arm around Tia's neck and hung on Tia.

Asashi then gave blood transfusions to the two carpenters, the beast tamer, and the multi-species beast, and relayed Tia's plan to them.

None of them objected, and after several simple wooden frames were built to secure people to the metal containers, the convoy quickly set off again.

Without any bonus questions, the trip went very smoothly.

Valencia's earlier assessment was correct. Although there were quite a few monsters in the wild, few posed a threat to the Three Musketeers. They finally crossed the wilderness and arrived at the official road in the north.

Continuing west along the official road for a short distance, there is a small town about the same size as Klar, where everyone can get a good rest at the inn tonight.

. . . . .

"It's... hateful!"

Belloc finally woke up about eight hours after Valensa and her party left.

Thanks to the self-healing power of his natural wood-scaled dragon bloodline and the support of his surrounding environment, the comminuted fracture of his shoulder and the head injury from being hit by the iron rod were no longer very painful.

The kick to his vital area still made it difficult for him to even stand up.

"This time it's a complete disaster..."

Recalling everything that happened before he fainted, Belloc felt only despair.

The War Academy's educational philosophy for elite soldiers has always been that victory can be achieved by any means necessary, and using beauty to achieve goals is indeed a top priority for many female elite soldiers.

But the War Academy never forces female soldiers to use their beauty; they only look at results.

Therefore, Valencia's act of beating her teacher half to death to pass the test would not only not be blamed by the other teachers who could see everything through the scroll, but would also be regarded as a genius, with everyone vying to cultivate her.

What about yourself?

Belloc grew increasingly disheartened with each thought.

Even if it was due to carelessness, the fact that a Lighthouse-level character was singled out by a Candlelight-level character and almost killed is enough to make this incident a legend in the academy.

Both will become famous because of the legend, but Valensa will be praised and lauded, while Belloc will inevitably be ridiculed and completely killed.

Upon returning to the academy, Belloc will likely face expulsion or even dismissal.

Just as the dragon race expelled the fat dragon from the dragon race because it was stupid and ugly, the War Academy doesn't need a practical course teacher who would be beaten up by unenrolled students.

Moreover, this teacher had no connections and had offended the Britannia family.

Belloc's life is over.

In his extremely depressed mood, Belloc did not notice that a very thin figure was quietly approaching him from behind.

"Who?"

puff!

By the time Belloc realized what was happening, it was too late. The figure struck with extreme ruthlessness, stabbing Belloc's already injured side, further aggravating his wounds.

Belloc then saw the attacker's appearance clearly, and his expression was one of utter shock:

"It's actually... a wild beast?"

"Hiss hiss hiss... The Prophet is indeed a man of uncanny foresight."

The beast, judging from its physical structure, could be considered a humanoid creature, except that it had green skin and a lizard's head, and was less than a meter tall, holding a short sword with a chilling gleam.

At this moment, it lightly licked the blade with its tongue, its apricot-yellow eyes filled with sadism:

"There really is a lone, seriously injured war academy teacher here... Hiss, don't worry, I'll give you a quick death, but as a reward..."

The cold light struck again, and Belloc tried to dodge and retaliate, but the lingering pain in his vital areas made it impossible.

puff!

Blood splattered.

"Let me make good use of your body..."

The beast chuckled, but its body suddenly became like soft mud, burrowing into Belloc's body through his still-bleeding wound...

Chapter 136 I'm so dizzy, Tia, give me CPR!

In a suite at a luxury hotel in Mora.

Valensa had no idea that Belloc, whom she had beaten half to death, was now truly dead. She was comfortably soaking in the large bathtub, rubbing her back against Tia's hand.

"Okay, okay, Tia~~ Just help me wash up, my area is so itchy~~"

"No way!"

Tia leaned against the tub with her eyes slightly closed, ignoring Valensa's coquettishness, only occasionally opening one eye to peek.

"Didn't you live in the countryside for three years and think you were very independent? Last time you even mocked me for being a useless pampered princess who couldn't even take a bath by herself... Why don't you try taking a bath by yourself then?"

"Normally, I can wash it myself without any problem, but..."

Valensa then pretended to faint and snuggled into Tia's arms:

"I lost a lot of blood today, so of course I'll feel dizzy and weak from losing too much blood... Tia, hold me tight, or I'll faint and drown in the bathtub... glug glug."

"You shameless idiot, you're the one who'll be drowned!"

Instead of holding Valensa, Tia pushed her head directly into the water.

"You think your little tricks can fool me? Others might feel dizzy and weak after losing so much blood, but you must have already used that special ability to recover, right?"

"You said you couldn't shower and felt dizzy and weak... that's all just a trick you used to tease me! I won't fall for it, hmph!"

Glug glug glug...

With Valensa's strength, she should have broken free from Tia's grasp long ago, but this time she didn't react for a long time, just kept blowing bubbles in the water.

...Could he really have drowned?

Tia became worried again.

"Hey! You liar! You idiot! Don't try to scare me, I'm warning you!"

Valensa still did not respond.

"Hey!"

Tia finally lost her temper and quickly pulled Valensa out of the water, only to find that Valensa seemed to have lost consciousness.

"Wake up, you idiot! You're not really drowning in the bathtub, are you?"

Tia shook Valensa's shoulder and patted her cheek.

This time, Valensa finally reacted, but only her eyelids twitched; she remained unconscious.

With no other option, Tia laboriously carried Valensa out of the bathtub and onto the bed, carefully examining her.

Judging from her physical condition, Valensa did indeed look like she was drowning, but Tia didn't believe it entirely.

After all, she already knew about Valensa's abilities. Belloc had been fooled by Valensa's feigned sleep during the day by controlling her body's reactions, and the terrible consequences were still fresh in her mind.

"...Hmph, I'll just go find Asaki!"

Tia started getting dressed as she spoke:

“I can’t tell if you’re really drowning or faking it, but Asashi definitely can… You think you can fool me with divine magic too? Of course, if you really are drowning, Asashi can save you…”

Before Tia could even leave the bedside, Valensa grabbed her hand.

"A... Asashi can't save me, only Tia can... uh."

Valensa seemed to have just woken up, looking very pained, and even coughed up a mouthful of bathwater.

The veins on Tia's forehead were bulging, but she didn't react; instead, she smiled gently.

"Only I can save you... Okay, how do you want me to save you?"

"Human... artificial respiration."

Valensa looked like she couldn't breathe:

"I...I've got water in my lungs, I'm having trouble breathing, I need...I need you to blow air into my mouth so I can recover...Didn't I teach you that when we were little? Let's do it again."

"...Ha, artificial respiration, is that it? You still have the nerve to bring up your childhood?"

Tia's face was flushed, but her eyes were filled with anger, as if she wanted to bite Valensa:

"You were incredibly naughty when we were kids! You taught me that when I didn't know anything... I didn't even make you pay for my first kiss, and you still dared to bring up CPR?"
