"Assemble! Assemble!"

　　 In the night, a rushing bell suddenly sounded, awakening all the reserve knights who had just fallen asleep.

　　 "What...what's the situation?"

"What happened?"

　　 The ringtone became more rapid, and the reserve knights who were awakened became more panicked.

　　 The rookies who are in panic don't know that their panic expressions and messy actions have already been seen by others.

　　 "It's... terrible."

　　 Lei Mingkai shook his head helplessly.

　　 Although these reserve knights have little to do with him, the future members of the Queen's Guardian Knights will inevitably be born in this mess, looking like a bewildered rookie.

　　 As long as he thought of this, Lei Mingkai could hardly contain the idea of ​​expelling this group of bewildered rookies.

　　 You need to know that even if you were back then, you wouldn't have been suddenly attacked by the instructor to make you look like this.

　　 And Veretta, who was standing next to him, didn't look good. Although this was not the reserve knight she personally selected, but in fact, it took her to nod before these reserve knights could enter this knight academy that had just been established less than half a month ago.

　　 Finally, Lei Mingkai shook his head secretly.

　　 "That's it! After all, this order came suddenly. Don't even think that those people will send the elites in their hands. But that's fine. At least it won't get in the way."

　　 smiled, Lei Mingkai turned around and looked at Qi Ligu and Titania who were standing beside him.

　　 At this moment, Qi Ligu and Titania have put on the uniforms of the officers of the Queen's Guards. One is stern and severe, and the other is heroic. It is a match made in heaven.

　　 "Qiligu, Titania. Give these messy rookies to you, okay?"

　　 Lei Mingkai pointed to the upper reserve knights who had recovered from the panic not far away, and stood neatly on the flat ground in front of the dormitory.

　　 "Are there places for sacrifice?"

　　 When Qi Ligu spoke, a strong breath of death came to his face.

　　 However, it is also inevitable.

　　 After all, everything Qi Ligu has experienced has crawled out of hell.

　　 Whether it was the village when he was a child, or the Shura killing when he became a member of the Red Shoulder team, it was a series of life and death experienced after the disbandment of the Red Shoulder team. Under this kind of experience, don't expect too much that Qi Ligu's training methods will have even a similarity to those of the wise academies.

"grown ups."

　　 Perceiving what Qi Ligu meant, Veretta subconsciously reminded Lei Mingkai. But it was stopped by Lei Mingkai's raised right hand.

　　 "Yes. But Qi Ligu, I hope my method will be used to select people in the final selection. We can learn from the Red Shoulder team, but we can't copy them all."

　　 Speaking, Lei Mingkai pointed to the group of reserve knights below.

　　 "What we want to train is knights who can fight the universe for the empire and the queen, not for murderers. Therefore, the balance here can only be controlled by you and Titania."

　　 "Are you a murderer?" Qi Ligu's eyes flashed and he fell silent again.

　　 Titania, who was standing next to him, asked: "Knight Commander. Before the final test, I, we hope Lord Knight will not overly interfere with our training."

　　 For this request made by Titania, Lei Mingkai smiled slightly and said generously:

　　 "No. I won't interfere with your training. As long as you train normally while avoiding accidents as much as possible. I and your majesty will fully support you for all costs."

　　 "Yes! We understand. So, without further ado, can we start training?"

　　 Lei Mingkai raised his hand and lied forward, indicating that Qi Ligu and Titania could start.

　　 "Qiligu, let's go! This is also our new life."

　　 At the voice of Titania, Qi Ligu and Titania stepped forward together towards the group of reserve knights.

　　 "What a disaster..."

　　 Seeing Qi Ligu and Titania leave behind, Veretta sighed secretly.

Apart from following Lei Mingkai and arranging the affairs of Qi Ligu and Titania, she did not have the opportunity to contact them excessively, but this did not hinder the perception of Veretta Qi Ligu and Titania. .

　　 After some observations, Veretta made a decision to avoid provoking the two as much as possible.

　　 Because, when looking at the two of them, there is always a pressure of imminent natural disaster hovering over her head. This kind of feeling surprised Veretta, and felt even more uncomfortable.

　　 "Veretta. Are you afraid of Qi Ligu and Titania?"

　　 Lei Mingkai asked suddenly.

"Do not."

　　 Veletta was surprised, and quickly denied.

　　 "I am not afraid of the two instructors. It's just that I feel a pressure from them. It seems that if I conflict with them, the sickle of death will fall on my head."

　　 "Really? So, Veretta, you think so!"

　　 However, this is not unusual.

Under the personal introduction of Lei Mingkai and Yuphimia, almost the entire imperial new force group formed with Lei Mingkai and Yuphimia as the core already knew that the two of Qiligu and Titania had suddenly appeared. Strangers in the imperial capital Pandoragon.

certainly.

　　 Some people are naturally dissatisfied with the unexpected situation that Qiligu and Titania were able to be appointed as the chief and deputy instructors of the Knights of Guards by Euphemia without saying a word.

　　 Therefore, a clandestine confrontation will inevitably occur.

　　 However, this secret confrontation quickly came to a victory.

　　 Some of the people who lost left the imperial capital irrelevantly, and took the commission signed by Empress Euphemia and ran to the re-division of the empire for the second half of their lives.

At the same time, thanks to the results of this assault that few people know about except for the key members of the empire, the young and powerful factions, including Veretta, finally put down their grudges and tried to accept Qiligu and Titania. exist.

　　 "No. I'm just a little curious about the coaching ability of the two instructors." Veretta shook her head gently.

　　 "Hehe. Really? Don't worry! In the coming days, you will see the coaching level of Qi Ligu and Titania."

　　 In the open space in front of the dormitory, Qi Ligu and Titania, surrounded by soldiers, were standing in front of the reserve knights and talking.

　　Naturally, the task of preaching still has to be entrusted to Titania. Qi Ligu was in charge of the position of hands-on but not-verbal. As soon as he came up, he laid three hard-bone reserve knights on the ground, begging for mercy.

"Haha. It seems that Qiligu is very motivated. Leave it to them here! Veretta, from today onwards, as long as Qiligu and Titania want things and equipment, please satisfy them as much as possible. Your Majesty’s side, I will naturally say it."

　　 "Yes. My lord."

　　 After giving orders, Lei Mingkai, who had great confidence in the abilities of Ziligu and Titania, quickly left the new Knights Academy temporarily set on the right side of the palace.

　　 There are more things waiting for Lei Mingkai.

　　 For example, the coffin where Fiana was sleeping.

　　 Eight hours ago, Lei Mingkai’s personal terminal would receive a message from Shie’s laboratory of the Criminal Ministry.

　　 Judging from the content described in the message, it seems that the analysis of the coffin has made some progress.

　　 "Veretta. Do you know where Type Zero is? Early in the morning, you can't see it."

　　 Standing in front of the palace gate, Lei Mingkai asked.

　　 Veretta groaned a little, and said with some uncertainty: "One hour ago, Master Zero seemed to be in the imperial garden."

　　 "One hour?"

　　 Lei Mingkai thought for a moment, and shook his head slightly.

　　 "Forget it. This shouldn't be a big deal. Let's go!"

　　 Not a few steps away, Lei Mingkai stopped suddenly, turned and looked at Veretta back and forth.

　　Lei Mingkai discovered that Veretta had actually put down her long silver hair and no longer tied the side ponytail, but chose a hairstyle with a long hair shawl, which seemed to be extraordinarily wifey?

　　"Big...sir, what are you...what are you looking at? Me, is there something wrong with my face?"

　　 Under Lei Mingkai's gaze, Veretta blushed suddenly. It's just that her skin is biased towards brown, so the flying red clouds are not very obvious.

　　 "No. It's not like that. It's just that I suddenly felt that you are actually very beautiful now. Veretta."

　　 Lei Mingkai nodded, then turned and left with a sympathetic expression.

　　 Veretta, whose face became more and more blazing, froze for a long time before reacting to Lei Mingkai's sudden compliment. When chasing Lei Mingkai's footsteps, the corners of her mouth were also slightly tilted uncontrollably.

　　 a few hours later.

　　 Lei Mingkai, and Veretta with a shocked expression on his face, once again came to the city of stars through the world gate that ruled the throne.

　　 The reception staff sent by Shie of the Criminal Department had already waited.

　　 "Your Excellency Inspector, please come with me. The doctor has finished his work 10 minutes ago, waiting for the two of you to visit."

　　 Under the leadership of the reception staff, Lei Mingkai and Veretta boarded the sky train to the research institute drawn at the time of the criminal ministry.

　　 "Veretta. Have you been to this city before?"

　　 Sitting in the sky train, Lei Mingkai glanced at Veretta, who wanted to see, but had to maintain the etiquette of the entourage, and chuckled.

　　 "Veretta. If you want to see it, go see it! Here, there is no need to stand guard."

　　 "My lord, but?"

　　 Veretta seemed hesitant on her face.

　　 For Veretta, who was born and raised in the world of Lelouch, this cosmic city wandering in the void is indeed an unprecedented and unheard of spectacle in her life.

Even during the time when Lei Mingkai was on duty, Veretta learned about things in this world through some video data sent by Euphemia, but witnessing the city of stars is the first one. Second-rate.

　　 "Go! Veretta. It's still a while before arriving at the doctor's research institute."

　　 At Lei Mingkai's insistence, Veretta could only accept Lei Mingkai's words which were almost commanded.

　　 The temptation to explore the new world, I am afraid that few people can resist it.

　　 So, during Veretta's exploration time, the sky train that Lei Mingkai was on, after a period of traveling, finally slowly stopped in front of the research institute of the Ministry of Justice.

　　 As soon as he got out of the car, Lei Mingkai saw an iconic chocolate bar standing in the air dangling back and forth.

　　 The cause of this peculiar phenomenon, needless to say, it must be Xingbu Shie who has a chocolate bar in his mouth all the time.

　　 "Doctor. Long time no see. This is my adjutant. Veretta Nu."

　　 Lei Mingkai smiled softly and took the initiative to introduce Shie and Veretta to the criminal ministry.

　　 "Viretta. This is what I call the Criminal Ministry Shie, Doctor of Criminal Ministry."

"Hello!"

　　 After saying hello, Lei Mingkai went directly to the topic.

　　 "Doctor. Has the analysis of the coffin progressed?"

　　 "Well. One thing. At least I can figure out how to separate Fiana from the coffin."

　　Xingbu Shihu moved his hands for a while, and after holding the chocolate bar to his mouth again, he put his free hands back in his pockets.

　　 "Come with me! I'm afraid I won't be able to say it until tomorrow. And you may not understand what I'm talking about."

　　 Lei Mingkai couldn't help but smile at the words of Xingbu Shie.

　　 Although this is a bit rude, it is also true. Regarding the terminology of scientific researchers, Lei Mingkai, a reckless man who fights on the front line all day, can't understand much.

　　 Therefore, the decision made by the Ministry of Justice is correct.

　　 Compared with the scientific research terminology, Lei Mingkai accepts a straightforward way to witness with his own eyes.

After verifying ten fingerprints, voices, pupils, etc., Lei Mingkai and Veretta finally followed in the footsteps of Xingbu Shie~lightnovelpub.net~ and stepped into an underground space in the deepest part of the institute. .

　　 Here, countless lines are evenly distributed throughout this underground space from top to bottom. Moreover, in the mid-air of this underground space, one after another carrying the test tube, small-sized unmanned robots are shuttled back and forth among them.

　　 "This is the periphery of Lab 0. After entering the interior, these drones can no longer be seen."

　　 Xingbu Shihui raised her eyes slightly, looking at the unmanned robots flying around and said.

Along the way, under the leadership of the Ministry of Justice, Lei Mingkai and Veretta, who entered the interior of Laboratory 0, immediately saw that they were placed in the center of the laboratory and were linked by pipelines extending from all directions. Coffin.

"Ten hours before the present, we successfully analyzed some mysterious substance covering the surface of the coffin. At the same time, after our preliminary experiments, it is precisely because of this mysterious substance that the coffin will have the ability to withstand most of it. Hot weapons, or even the claws of your fang lion zero-style attack."

　　 The Criminal Department Shie accepted a document from the subordinates on the side and handed it to Lei Mingkai while saying.

　　 Lei Mingkai took the file, but didn't check it immediately.

　　 "In other words, as long as the mysterious substance covering the coffin is removed, then Fiana will be liberated?"

　　"I said so, but I need the assistance of Form Zero. After all, these mysterious substances have something to do with Form Zero.
