"Twin Wings" Edelweiss.
Although she was incredibly young, not even thirty years old, she had already become a Desperado and was also the strongest swordsman in the world.
Even the two major world powers, the League and the Confederation, were completely helpless against Edelweiss, only giving her the title of 'the world's most evil criminal' and leaving her alone.
Edelweiss's strength was that of a one-person nation, rivaling the world; even those older than her were completely inferior to her.
Because a 'Desperado' is an existence that transcends fate, it doesn't mean that the longer one lives, the stronger they are; ultimately, it depends on talent.
And Edelweiss was clearly among the top tier of talent in this world.
And now, Arisuin Nagi was comparing Jingliu and Edelweiss... even adding Skirk, because Jingliu and Skirk were similar existences.
So, what was the answer?
Looking at Jingliu, whose presence was climbing, the sweat on Arisuin's forehead increased...
He had no way to compare!
For a 'weakling' like Arisuin Nagi, both Edelweiss and Jingliu were powerhouses far beyond his imagination; at his level, he could at most see that both were giants far exceeding him.
But who was stronger, he couldn't judge; he could probably only get accurate news from Jingliu's own mouth.
"Twin Wings?"
"Just a child."
There were no extra evaluations; in the eyes of Jingliu or Skirk, Edelweiss was indeed a child, in every sense.
"So go back, Student Arisuin."
"Registration for the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival begins tomorrow. I look forward to your performance on the field."
"Don't... let me down!"
"I understand, I will participate properly!"
Seemingly sensing the chill on Jingliu, Arisuin Nagi shivered unnaturally.
Jingliu... was this her telling him to compete well? To show his true ability?
Arisuin Nagi's purpose in coming to Hagun Academy was to hide himself and simultaneously scout information on the academy.
The best situation would be to get a qualifying spot for the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival without exposing his true strength.
"That's the only way!"
The game of playing the weak ends here. Next, Hagun Academy will have to face Arisuin Nagi at full power... however, the unlucky ones might be the remaining students in the academy.
—
After saying goodbye to the Resistance spy Arisuin Nagi, Jingliu originally wanted to close the door and enjoy some rare time alone.
But today, besides Arisuin Nagi, it seemed another person had come to visit...
"Could you pour me a cup of tea?"
At some unknown point, an old man had arrived at Jingliu's office in the teaching building and was eyeing the unfinished tea on her desk.
"I can."
The visitor was none other than the second person Jingliu met after arriving in this world, the "War God" Nango Torajiro.
For Jingliu, Nango Torajiro, besides providing her with an identity, helped her block the various monsters and demons of the Far East political circles.
It was precisely because of this old man before her that Jingliu and Skirk had the opportunity to guide students in the academy.
Showing him a little respect was not out of the question...
"Why have you come this time?"
Unlike Arisuin Nagi, Nango Torajiro's arrival certainly meant something special had happened.
"Sigh! I have some bad news to tell you..."
"Your identity will soon be impossible to hide."
Nango Torajiro's expression was grim, and he even secretly observed Jingliu's expression to see her reaction.
"There are many strong individuals within the Alliance, and even more with strange and bizarre abilities. Even if Nene and I haven't revealed your identity, you will be discovered sooner or later; it's just a matter of time."
For Nango Torajiro, this news was very terrible.
Because only he, who understood the situation, knew exactly what kind of predicament the Far East was currently facing...
The Far East's external environment was dire, and its internal state was a chaotic mess, like a giant powder keg that could be ignited at any moment.
But these were not the main point...
The main point was the two women who came to Earth from a meteorite!
It was precisely because he understood the strength of Jingliu and Skirk that Nango Torajiro's expression was so grim.
Picking either of these two at random would be enough to sweep through the current Far East, meaning that no one on this land was currently their match.
There might be ways outside the Far East, but that would mean the Far East would need to bring in combat power from the outside, which would be a devastating blow to the country's internal stability.
Though such things had happened before...
"So it's about this."
Nango Torajiro:???
What do you mean 'about this'?
This matter is clearly very serious, okay?
"You... don't care at all about your identity being exposed?"
Jingliu and Skirk's current identities in the Far East were basically given by Nango Torajiro, which meant these things could be lost at any time.
Nango Torajiro stared intently at Jingliu's expression, seemingly intending to find some flaw, but unfortunately, the sword champion of the Luofu had long since lost her only flaw.
From Jingliu's face, Torajiro could see no panic, not even a hint of emotional fluctuation, as if she were saying...
Let it be exposed, I don't care!
"What of it?"
"Furthermore, the person who should be desperately guarding my identity right now isn't Skirk or me, it's you."
"..."
Nango Torajiro narrowed his eyes. How could he not understand the meaning behind Jingliu's words?
If Jingliu and Skirk's identities were completely exposed, what would happen next?
The Far East probably wouldn't have the right to handle this matter, because the appearance of "aliens" would be enough to draw the gaze of the world's two major powers.
Whether it be the Alliance or the Confederation, they would likely set aside all their conflicts and mobilize all internal forces to capture the two women, wouldn't they?
So for himself, and for the Far East, Nango Torajiro had to protect the two women's identities, at least preventing their exposure at this stage.
"If, and I'm just saying if."
Torajiro took a deep breath and looked at Jingliu with a slightly trembling tone.
"If the Alliance and the Confederation really do whatever it takes to capture you, what... what will you do?"
For Nango Torajiro and this land of the Far East, if the Alliance and Confederation arrived at the same time, this place would inevitably turn into a battlefield where no one could escape alive!
This was simply the worst-case scenario he could imagine!
If such a future really became reality, where would the Far East go?
Facing Torajiro's inquiry, Jingliu merely curled her lips slightly.
"Then my blade shall claim a few more lost souls..."
