Chương 729: -719- [ Knights of the Cross ]
Walpurgis Royal Academy of Machinart, Faculty of Law.
This is a building located a bit away from the Faculty of Medicine. In a practice room used for debates in this building, many figures have gathered.
If we were to count these figures, there are nearly thirty of them. Among these nearly thirty figures, there are a total of thirteen students, and the rest are all very unusual individuals.
Each of them is dressed in steel-made armor with a mantle in front, featuring a black cross on the mantle. Even the armor has rose engravings. They wear full-face helmets, giving them a solemn and sturdy appearance, reminiscent of a group of medieval knights.
This attire and their peculiar appearance tell others that these individuals are automatons, and they look remarkably lifelike, each one standing beside a student.
Gathered here are this group of students and their weapons.
Such a group of people has assembled here, chatting amicably, almost as if they are having a school reunion. The atmosphere is quite harmonious, with those crusader-like automatons standing solemnly on both sides of the classroom.
If you look closely, in the center of the room, an elegant chair with armrests is placed there.
Sitting in the seat is a young man with honey-colored blonde hair.
He was a handsome young man with deep and well-defined features.
However, despite his striking appearance, he exuded a dangerous aura that made it clear he was no ordinary person.
But within this academy, this young man was well-known to many.
His name was Rosenberg, and he was ranked 74th at the Night Party, with the registered code "Rosa Adamant."
If Rozen were here, he could certainly use his "Spirit Vision" ability to see through Rosenberg's true identity. This is because, in contrast to his 74th rank, Rozenburg's magical power was extraordinarily potent. The atmosphere he radiated didn't resemble that of someone who couldn't even break into the top 50, and he was on par with the likes of the "Thirteen."
Clearly, he was a character much like Veyron and Alice, someone whose rank didn't match their true strength, or perhaps someone who deliberately concealed their abilities.
This individual sat in a kingly manner on his seat, with his eyes closed. Behind him stood a petite figure resembling a crusader, creating an aloof presence beyond the cheerful chatter in the room.
Until...
"It seems everyone has gathered," came a voice, and the classroom door swung open.
Following that, two people entered.
They were dressed very differently from everyone in the room.
Leading the way was a young man whose noble aura and elegant appearance were no less than Rosenberg's.
Following behind him was a man dressed as a butler.
It was Cedric and Shin.
Cedric was the one who spoke. As soon as he entered, everyone ceased their cheerful conversations and looked in his direction.
Even Rosenberg slowly opened his eyes and looked at Cedric.
Then, Rosenberg spoke with a hint of annoyance, "If you're here, don't talk to me with that fake skin, Alice Bernstein."
Rosenberg revealed the true identity of the other person in front of everyone.
However, judging by the lack of surprise on the faces of the people in the room, it was clear that they were already aware of this fact.
Cedric responded with a nonchalant smile, "It was precisely because of this borrowed skin that our plan went so smoothly."
As Cedric said this, rose petals began to swirl around his entire body, enveloping him.
Before long, the petals vanished, revealing a beautiful silver-haired girl in his place.
"Is this more to your liking?" Alice asked with an elegant, beautiful, and gentle smile.
Seeing Alice in this form, many of the male students in the room cast eager glances her way.
However, Rosenberg, who was fixedly staring at Alice, spoke with growing displeasure, "Why did you bring 'Fimbulvetr's Winter' into the the Night Party now? Is that part of your arrangement?"
"Oh dear, Was that too obvious?"
Alice responded with an apparent lack of concern.
"Because it's so amusing."
In response to Alice's attitude, Rosenberg's expression became increasingly displeased.
"I only let you properly teach 'Surround Roar' a lesson, pushing her to the brink to see if she could unleash that kind of power again and gather information for countermeasures. If everything was fine, we would have taken her gloves away. But instead, not only did you fail to take 'Surround Roar's' gloves, you also downgraded 'Fimbulvetr's Winter' and 'Tyrant Rex' into the Night Party. This makes our situation more complicated. Don't tell me you didn't know, Alice."
Rosenberg said this and released a terrifying amount of magic throughout his body. Bathed in this magic, the students in the room couldn't help but change their expressions.
Only Alice, seemingly unfazed, smiled and responded, "Because it's so amusing."
Rosenberg fell silent, but the magical power emanating from him became increasingly menacing.
Despite feeling the aura, Alice maintained her smile, but her tone changed.
"Don't worry, even if we brought 'Fimbulvetr's Winter' and 'Tyrant Rex' to the Night Party now, they won't pose a threat to us." Alice explained.
"Not to mention that 'Tyrant Rex's' automaton is now in my hands and can't continue to fight. Even with 'Surround Roar' we know by now that she can't easily unleash that kind of power. Even if 'Fimbulvetr's Winter' is formidable, can't we, with so many of us, still overcome him?"
As a result, the only remaining enemy was Veyron, also known as 'Last One.'
However, the same principle applied: one person's defeat did not equate to the defeat of all those gathered here.
"From now on, we can officially begin our operation. Once everyone here is gathered on the Night Party battlefield, it will be our time to shine, won't it?" Alice said with a smile.
This idea seemed to be accepted by everyone present.
Rosenberg, too, relaxed his expression but added a word of caution, "I hope your sudden whims won't lead to a bitter end."
Alice responded cheerfully, "That suits me just fine."
With that, Rosenberg turned away, no longer bothering with her.
He looked around at everyone present and proclaimed, "In any case, for our homeland, may glory be with us, be with the 'Knights of the Cross'."
In response, everyone in the room stood up and shouted, "May glory accompany the Knights of the Cross!"
The scene was like a knightly order preparing for an expedition.
Amidst it all, Alice laughed.
But in her eyes, there was crazed enthusiasm.
//// Regarding the Knights of the Cross, I've searched the wiki and couldn't find the translation of it. Even in the Chinese wiki there's only the Chinese name. So this is my own translation. ////
