Three targets, no, two of them are gone, and the last one is left.
Still adhering to the style of assassination and surprise attack, attack from behind.
However, before it could get behind Laura, there was a bang, and a hole the size of a fist was opened in the abdomen of the machine. The Crown of Balance's huge body shook violently and fell to the ground.
Laura, who heard this sound, turned her head displeasedly and looked at the heights behind her: "I told you to leave it to me."
"He also said he discovered us at first."
At the end of Laura's gaze, there was a black muzzle. The caliber was very large for a gun, and the barrel was also very long.
There is only one firearm in Samlia that meets this standard - an anti-equipment sniper rifle that can be used to snipe mechas and tanks.
After firing the rifle, a woman in blue stood up, dressed in military uniform, as capable and valiant as Laura.
"Major Claire?" Yuna exclaimed.
That's right, the one who sniped and killed the last Crown of Balance was Claire who was supposed to be in Saint-Jacques.
"Why is the major here?" Li En was also a little surprised.
It’s not pretending, it’s real.
When he sensed Claire's aura, he almost thought he felt wrong.
Claire has been very busy recently and has a very tight schedule. After completing the arrangements for Sasarante, she will return to the imperial capital Heimdall immediately.
Before starting over, there was such a small episode.
After learning about the existence of the puppet machine, Claire originally wanted to stay and act with Rean and others, but was driven back by Michael.
But now it actually appears at the southernmost tip of the empire.
"Because of the suspicious person you mentioned in your report who is suspected of being a Jaeger."
Claire answered while packing up and disassembling the sniper rifle skillfully.
"If it is just a puppet weapon, there is still the possibility of black market leakage, remnants of the civil war, etc. However, the appearance of a figure suspected of being a Jaeger has greatly narrowed the scope. No matter what the possibility is, it cannot be dealt with casually.
I have received your approval to stay in the state of Sasarante and handle this matter with full authority, so I drove to you to inquire about the details and the latest progress. I happened to meet Miss Laura in Palm, so we chased after her together.
”
"That's it."
After saying this, Li En understood.
A simple puppet weapon is not enough, because it is just a weapon and anyone can use it.
The appearance of people is another matter. Now that the association has restarted its activities, Claire cannot help but be cautious, and it is impossible for Michael to oppose Claire on such a major matter.
"Then there's Laura. I heard the people at the dojo say, 'Young, powerful and very handsome temporary acting master,' so I guessed it. It was you after all. Thank you for chasing me all the way."
"Haha. This level is nothing."
Laura smiled softly, put her sword behind her back, walked up to Rean, and hugged him.
"Although we exchange letters, we haven't seen each other in person for a long time. Have you grown taller? To be honest, I can hardly recognize you."
"Haha, Laura is the one who has become so majestic and beautiful."
Rean held Laura in his arms with his backhand and said the same words as before he came back.
Although the subjective time has not passed that long, the excitement when we meet again is not fake at all, and is even more intense than at that time. If possible, he really wants to give every acquaintance he meets a hug.
"Stop flattering me, that part of your practice is still far behind."
Laura’s cheeks turned red and the corners of her eyes raised slightly. Although she said this, she was very happy in her heart.
"Ahem."
An aggravated cough followed Claire’s reminder.
"Both of you, please pay attention to the occasion, there are still underage students here."
At this time, she had already put away her sniper rifle and jumped down from the high cliff.
Rean and Laura separated.
Li En is used to seeing big scenes, and his expression is as usual.
Laura's character can be seen from the way she draws her sword. Her personality is grand and informal. She has returned to normal and said to the students calmly:
"Although there are familiar faces, it would be better to introduce myself again. I am Laura S. Alside, the daughter of Viscount Regram, and I am also from Thors's old VII class. Please feel free to teach me and learn from me.
Brothers and sisters."
"Please give me more advice." Yuna scratched her cheek, obviously not relieved from the atmosphere of hugging her when they met.
"Long time no see." Altina's face was expressionless, her eyes lowered.
"I've heard about your deeds before." Kurt was the most respectful person.
The Alseid style, which Laura inherited, and the Vandel style, which Kurt belongs to, are the two largest schools in the empire, and they are also called double walls.
The two families and the two major sects are comparable in terms of size, family background, and the level of top martial artists. Both sides also have martial arts masters who serve in the military. They are the top martial arts schools in Semlia.
What's even more rare is that the two families did not want to compete with each other and fight to the death. Instead, they lived in harmony and have been friends for generations.
Kurt has long heard of the name of the daughter of Alcide, and so has Laura.
"I have also heard that my father-in-law, His Excellency Matthius Fandel, mentioned you. You are one of the few masters in the Fandel style who uses double swords. I am very happy to meet you."
"Don't say that, don't take it seriously."
Kurt quickly denied it and his attitude became more humble.
"I'm still very immature. I can't keep up with my father and brother, let alone you who got the 'True Inheritance' at such a young age."
"The journey of practicing swordsmanship has no end. Obtaining the true inheritance is just a process. I am still practicing, trying to reach the same position as Rean."
When it comes to the purity of martial arts, among all the people Rean has met, apart from Alleria and Laura, Rean himself is far behind.
If this were not the case, it would not be enough to make a proud and arrogant person like Kurt bow his head.
The true biography in the words has almost the same meaning as the eight leaf ittoryu arcana.
Laura graduated early in order to follow her father, Victor S. Alsaid, the "Swordsmith of Light", to practice mysticism.
At this time, he has learned the secrets of the Al-Said-ryu and has obtained the qualification of acting master of the Al-Said-ryu.
Afterwards, in accordance with his father's request, he traveled around various places, increasing his knowledge and honing himself better in preparation for taking over the Alside Stream.
During her travels, she naturally visited the head of Fandelyu, and was entrusted by him to reopen closed dojos in various places as a temporary acting master.
In this aspect, she has already surpassed Rean.
It's just that a school like the Arsaid-ryu that caters to the general public is not as profound as the Eight Leaves Itto-ryu, so it is still one step away from the dream state of a samurai.
However, with Laura’s talent and hard work, if she continues to work hard, it will only be a matter of time before she crosses that threshold.
One day, she will reach the heights of the "Saint of the Spear", a role model for female warriors.
