Chapter 34: Girl, your focus is quite strange.

“Tasks start tomorrow, so today we need to prepare everything necessary. Although I don’t doubt Michelle’s support abilities, there are unexpected situations with personnel being scattered, so the potion scroll team will prepare, and you can also prepare some individually.”

As the captain, Nathan has rich experience and has considered all necessary aspects.

“And you three have just joined, the team hasn’t fully gelled yet, and there are many things to pay attention to. Team coordination will be trained during this mission.”

Although it’s a last-minute effort, it’s better than doing nothing at all.

“Everyone disperse and prepare individually. We’ll gather here at eight o’clock tomorrow morning.”

With the arrangements complete, Nathan announced the dismissal.

A large-scale mission that almost all students participating in the adventure internship would attend, Leo suddenly felt a bit excited.

He didn’t need to procure anything.

The potions needed are healing potions and mana potions. He had prepared healing potions before and still had some in stock. He basically didn’t need mana potions since his swordsmanship doesn’t rely on mana.

As for magic scrolls, they were unnecessary; his sword is the most powerful tool.

He spent the remaining time going back to continue training.

Early the next morning, Leo changed into the adventurer outfit he used to wear.

Apart from the gauntlets and greaves made the day before, he only had a chest plate; there were no other pieces of equipment, simple and neat.

He arrived at the Crimson Flame team’s base for the gathering, and everyone had changed into their adventurer outfits, ready for action.

Michelle was still wearing her white priestess attire, her cool figure like a bright moon, exuding grace.

“Let’s set off!”

The group arrived at the academy square, where most students had already gathered.

The students had various expressions; some were excited, hoping to make a name for themselves in battle, while others were worried about potential dangers during the mission.

The entire square exuded a serious atmosphere.

Leo saw some acquaintances.

Caroline and Locke, along with the third prince, Corik, whom he had met once.

Caroline was with Corik, who seemed to be saying something that made Caroline laugh frequently.

Locke was left out, and Leo was curious about how someone of his strength was selected for this mission.

There was also a heavyweight figure, Delisa, surrounded by four followers, who was staring intently at Corik and Caroline.

A large-scale scandal scene!

As Corik’s fiancée, Delisa seemed to show no reaction, her purple eyes only revealing a hint of anger.

Around her, it felt as if there was a wall separating her from everyone else; people instinctively kept their distance, quietly observing her from afar.

Leo’s lips curled slightly; things seemed to be getting more interesting.

In addition, there were some unfamiliar but seemingly significant figures, likely the princes and princesses from other countries that Nathan mentioned.

“That’s the student council president, Renina!”

Renina appeared, and the students cheered.

Surrounded by the crowd, Renina waved to her fans, who cheered wildly.

Although Renina was a third-year student, her strength placed her at the top of the academy, making her the student council president and earning her respect.

“The crown prince, Dante, and the saintess, Selena, are here too!”

Selena, dressed in a golden robe, walked hand in hand with Crown Prince Dante, attracting everyone’s attention.

“They make such a good pair.”

“Rumor has it that the crown prince and the saintess have a very good relationship; they are often seen together.”

These two together looked like a pair of celestial lovers, no wonder people were sighing in admiration.

Leo was curious about who the first-ranked candidate for saintess was, so he followed the crowd’s gaze.

Selena had long, flowing golden hair, and her eyes were also a dazzling gold, reflecting a shining brilliance like a warm sun, with a gentle smile as she earnestly conversed with Dante beside her.

Her beauty was no less than Michelle’s; if Michelle exuded a cool beauty like a silver moon, every move evoking a gentle feeling like water.

Then Selena was like the sun, making people feel warmth from the heart.

Truly extraordinary! No wonder she could become the first-ranked candidate for saintess, recognized by the world as the most likely to become the official saintess!

Suddenly, Selena smiled in this direction, like the rising sun, full of vitality, making people feel the energy of spring.

“No way! Lady Selena smiled at me.”

“No, it was at me.”

“It’s me! It’s me!”

Students nearby argued.

“Stop arguing, Lady Selena is coming over!”

The surrounding students became excited, their faces flushed, thinking that Selena’s attention was on them.

Only Leo and a few others knew that Selena’s focus was probably on Michelle.

Michelle’s excellence was on par with the renowned Selena of the empire; it was just that her fame was somewhat lesser.

“Michelle, it’s been a while since I last saw you. How have you been?”

Selena stopped in front of Michelle and asked.

“Greetings! Sister Selena!”

Michelle lifted her skirt and elegantly curtsied, “Thank you for your concern; I am doing well.”

Those who had been paying attention to Selena also noticed Michelle, feeling incredibly amazed, especially with the two top beauties together, it was truly a feast for the eyes.

“Could she be the newly appointed tenth-ranked candidate for saintess of the church?”

“She is no less beautiful than Lady Selena!”

“I’ve decided; from now on, I will be the most steadfast supporter of Lady Michelle!”

Just one glance, and everyone was captivated by Michelle’s beauty, with some even becoming infatuated with her.

“This must be your teammate, a very excellent group of people. I look forward to your performance.”

Selena’s eyes scanned Leo and the others, noticing Yulis, her eyes lit up, “Yulis, it’s been a while since we last met. How is the Lord?”

Yulis’ expression was somewhat stiff, looking uncomfortable, “He’s doing well.”

Selena was drawn to Yulis, and during this time, Leo naturally moved behind Nathan, whose tall figure was the best shield.

“I didn’t expect you to be in this team; is it for Michelle” Selena teased.

Yulis immediately distanced himself, “Don’t misunderstand; I joined this team solely to pursue the ultimate swordsmanship. There are swordsmen in this team who are even stronger than me.”

“A swordsman stronger than you? I really want to see.” Selena showed an interested smile, her gaze shifting towards the group.

Behind Nathan, Leo pretended to adjust his equipment, noticing out of the corner of his eye that Nathan’s body had become somewhat stiff.

Selena is not an ordinary woman.

“Michelle, I’m also curious about why you left the Holy Radiance team to join this one. Let’s talk next time; I have to go now.”

Not noticing anything unusual, Selena bowed and then turned to leave.

After she left, everyone in the team visibly relaxed.

“I actually interacted so closely with a saintess; is this a blasphemy against the divine?” Mona said nervously.

“Fool, how could that be?” Jin said indulgently.

“I don’t want to be called a fool by you.” Mona replied unhappily.

Michelle whispered to Heles, “I felt that Senior Jin and Senior Mona’s relationship was a bit unusual; are they a couple?”

Gossiping Michelle makes her appearance!

“Wrong, they are engaged!” Heles smiled like an aunt.

“Eh?! Senior Mona actually allows Senior Jin to have affairs; even though he has Senior Mona, he still looks for so many wives.”

Girl, your focus is quite strange!
