Chapter 1435: -1416- Think it over
At this moment, Misora and Rico were genuinely surprised.
"Le... Lecty, are you really from such an amazing school?"
Misora was completely taken aback and found it hard to process.
"I see. No wonder sometimes I felt there was something strange about Lecty. She would suddenly become very powerful. So that's why."
After her initial surprise, Rico understood.
All along, in Misora and Rico's eyes, Lecty had always been the timid and cowardly teammate. Who would have thought that Lecty had such a prestigious background from the Eisenach-style?
But as Rico mentioned, there were times when Lecty would show an unexpected level of skill.
For example, when battling opponents of the same rank, sometimes Lecty could win, and other times she would lose. Even when facing higher-ranked opponents, she showed this tendency, performing very inconsistently.
However, this also proved that Lecty had a solid foundation.
After all, if she didn't have a good foundation, it wouldn't be possible to occasionally win against higher-ranked opponents.
Given this, others might not notice, but Rico, who had a sharp mind, should have seen something odd about Lecty a long time ago, right?
In fact, in terms of Eisenach-style dual swordsmanship, Lecty absolutely had considerable proficiency.
Because...
"Your surname is Eisenach. I don't know if you're from the main family or a branch, but only those recognized can use that name. It proves your dual swordsmanship should be quite advanced, otherwise, you couldn't use this surname in public."
Rozen had guessed Lecty was an Eisenach-style dual swordsman for this reason, and her proficiency in the dual swordsmanship had just been displayed.
"You... you know quite a lot..."
Lecty was still amazed by this.
Although Eisenach-style dual swordsmanship was indeed world-renowned, Mistgun was quite far from Oichis. As a floating academic city, it had a different nature compared to Oichis. The students here generally wouldn't have heard of Eisenach-style, only some higher-ups or near-graduating students might have some knowledge.
As for Rozen...
"I can't help it. Eisenach-style Sky Wizards are too self-centered, almost all of them are strength supremacists. I once participated in a battle against Armored Beetles at the frontline fortress floating city and even took command. But those guys looked down on me because of my age, thinking I wasn't qualified to command them. They believed they didn't need to follow my orders. So, to avoid trouble, I taught them a little lesson, making them unconscious for three days and nights. After that, they all behaved, and I learned quite a bit about Eisenach-style from them."
Rozen nonchalantly shared this story, making the girls break out in cold sweat.
That sounded quite dangerous.
"That's... that's amazing..."
Only Lecty looked at Rozen with eyes full of admiration.
As someone from Eisenach, Lecty naturally knew that those sent to the frontline fortress floating city to battle Armored Beetles were the elite of their school.
For Rozen to defeat them all showed just how powerful he was.
In contrast, Misora raised a question.
"If Lecty is so amazing, why is she in an E-rank team, losing badly along with us?"
Misora questioned.
Indeed.
If Lecty was so skilled, skilled enough to carry the Eisenach name, she shouldn't have ended up in an E-rank team, experiencing ten consecutive losses along with Misora and Rico.
Rico was understandable. This girl's personality was too bad. Sometimes, she would skip ranking battles just because of bad weather, or if she did attend, she would refuse to fight for various reasons, like not wanting to sweat. With this mindset, ten consecutive losses were normal.
Misora was another story. This girl really had no talent, putting in effort in the wrong direction entirely.
So what about Lecty?
What happened to Lecty?
"It's simple."
Rozen straightforwardly provided the answer.
"Lecty's personality is too timid. Completely the opposite of the overly confident Rico, she gets scared if too many people are watching, and she becomes hesitant and fearful in close combat. Due to her indecisiveness and hesitation, she can't fully commit to a fight, leading to extremely inconsistent performance."
This was why Lecty had fallen to this state.
Just like the evaluations in the reports, Lecty's personality was not suited for the battlefield, resulting in her being advised to drop out.
"I'm... I'm sorry!"
Lecty immediately bowed repeatedly to apologize.
It seemed, like Misora, Lecty was well aware of her own problems.
"That's how it is."
Rozen asserted.
"Your issues are more severe than I imagined, but you also gave me better surprises than I expected."
"Misora hasn't developed her strengths and has been putting in effort in the wrong way."
"Lecty's personality issues lead to indecision in battles."
"As for Rico..."
Rozen glanced at Rico.
"I don't think I have any problems," Rico responded immediately. "Whether it's talent or spirit, I'm perfect and flawless, a true goddess."
This self-obsessed individual, whose personality issues were more severe than Lecty's, actually said such things.
Just as Misora was about to say something, Rozen smirked.
"True, at first glance, you seem to have no problems. If you really wanted to fight, you could probably be perfect and flawless, right?"
The condition being...
"If you really wanted to fight, Rico Flamel."
With one sentence, Rico's smug expression froze.
Rico then realized that Rozen's eyes were filled with deep, profound light.
This gave Rico the feeling of being completely seen through, causing a trace of panic in her eyes.
But by then, Rozen had already looked away.
"Anyway, that's it for today."
Rozen announced the end with these words.
"W... wait!"
Misora quickly spoke up.
"Did we pass your test? Will you be our instructor?"
This was not only what Misora cared about but also what Lecty and Rico cared about.
However, Rozen didn't give a direct answer.
"After today's training, you must have a lot on your minds."
Rozen deflected.
"Go back and think it over. I'll visit your team room again tomorrow, and based on what you say, I'll tell you my thoughts."
With these words, Rozen turned and left.
Leaving Misora, Lecty, and Rico standing there, watching his back in a daze for a long time.
