It’s not that Lizi and Lecter don’t understand what Misora wants to say.
This person here is training hard to seize the rare opportunity, but others are saying it is impossible, they are unable to reach higher, and they are even saying it just for the sake of being pitiful here. No matter who it is, they will feel angry.
only...
"Although... although I feel a little uncomfortable, our grades are already very poor. It's really incredible that a senior who is so good comes to be our instructor."
Lecti said this hesitantly, and the general meaning was that what others said was unpleasant, but the current situation was indeed like this, and there was no way.
As for Lizi...
"What stupid things ordinary people are saying, as a goddess, if I don't care about them one by one, it will just end up in a mediocre way."
Lizi thought so brazenly, and seemed to really feel disdain for what others said.
Rather, the existence of the E601 team has been controversial. It has long been normal to be ridiculed as an F-class team and be despised and ridiculed by others.
Now, this situation has only intensified. If we were to investigate them one by one, the E601 team would have been exhausted.
"When I win a perfect victory in the ranking battle and show my extraordinary strength and beauty as a goddess, then stupid mortals will naturally understand how blind they were."
Lizi looked more focused on the future scenery than the current news. She brushed her long black hair and was still so confident.
"I really admire how you can maintain this style in this situation."
Misora was somewhat dumbfounded. After sighing, the anger in her heart dissipated a lot.
"Then... well, why don't we take a break for a while?"
Lecti made a cautious suggestion as if taking advantage of every opportunity.
"All right."
"I'm indeed a little tired."
Both Misora and Riko nodded.
The three of them sat down in the corner of the training ground and drank what they each brought.
After a while...
"Hey." Misora suddenly asked for no reason: "Do you think we can win the next ranking match?"
This question made both Lizi and Lecti pause.
Immediately afterwards, the two performed different performances.
Lecti's expression seemed a little gloomy, as if she was exposing her inner uneasiness.
After being silent for a while, Lizi spoke indifferently.
"I usually think of myself as the squad leader, but now at a critical moment, is it the idiot who is the squad leader who speaks out in frustration first?"
Riko stimulated Misora.
"That's... you're not talking discouragingly!" Misora said angrily: "I just want to know if you have confidence!"
There are also two answers to this question.
"I...I'm a little unsure..."
Lecti made a sound as if she was about to cry.
"Who do you think I am?"
Lizi and Lecter were completely opposite, looking full of confidence.
Even though Misora wanted to know why Lizi could always be so confident, it was precisely because she was the squad leader that Misora understood that no matter how pretentious and unruly she was, Lizi still broke the previous record during this period. code of conduct.
In the past, Lizi would never have participated in any training.
But now, Lizi attends team activities almost every day. In the past, that was simply an unbelievable thing.
Thinking about it, it's not that Lizi is unwilling to work hard at all, but that she didn't have the motivation to work hard before, right
Misora suddenly realized that she didn't seem to know Riko and Lecter as well as she thought.
Like Riko, Misora has no idea why she broke her previous code of conduct.
The same goes for Lecti. Even though she said that her dream is to protect more people, Misora is also unclear as to why she is so persistent about this.
This made Misora realize for the first time that as the squad leader, he didn't know much about his team members.
(What a dereliction of duty...)
Misora began to feel ashamed.
then...
"It's a rare opportunity for me to ask you."
Misora asked aloud.
"Why do you want to become an air combat mage? And why do you want to become stronger?"
This sentence made Lizi and Lecti startled on the spot and looked over.
"Mei... Misora-san...?"
Lecti's face was filled with surprise. She obviously didn't expect that Misora, who was just rushing forward, would suddenly ask such a profound question.
Lizi took a deep look at Misora, as if she had seen through her thoughts, and snorted softly.
"If you say that, why do you insist on becoming a magic cannon swordsman?"
Riko asked about Misora.
If you want others to be honest with you, you have to be honest yourself first.
Misora could see this from Riko's attitude.
At that moment, Misora hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a low voice.
"Because, my mother used to be an aerial combat mage, and she was also a very good magic cannon swordsman."
Misora finally mentioned his own affairs.
"My father, mother, and I didn't live in Mist Ridge before, but in another floating city."
"There, my mother was a very great flying warrior. She defeated countless magic armored insects using a magic cannon sword that was difficult to control. She was admired by people."
"But... "
Misora's tone paused and she closed her mouth.
Seeing this, neither Lizi nor Lecti spoke.
Because, seeing Misora like this, everyone knows what will happen to the mother he talks about.
It must have been gone forever during the battle with the magic armored insect, right
"... If the person killed by the magic armor insect does not have magic power, he will not be able to keep his memory."
"Because of this, everyone who originally respected my mother has forgotten her. Even my father, who is an ordinary person, has forgotten her. Only I remember my mother and got the magic cannon sword she left behind from my mother's partner."
That is the magic cannon sword that Misora is currently using - "Lass Grace".
"So, in order to inherit my mother's legacy, and to never forget her, I vow to become a magic cannon swordsman who cannot lose to anyone, and to become an aerial combat mage capable of protecting the entire world."
"Seeing the image of my hard work, one day in the future, maybe someone will be able to remember from me the image of my mother who lost her life to protect mankind in the past."
"To achieve this goal, I must become a magic cannon swordsman. I don't want to be anything but a magic cannon swordsman."
Misora spoke her true feelings in one breath, and revealed the reason why she was obsessed with becoming a magic cannon swordsman.
"What about you?" Misora looked at Lizi and Lecti and said, "Why do you want to become an aerial combat mage?"
Hearing this, both Lizi and Lecti fell silent.
It wasn't until a long time later that anyone spoke up.
"I... am trying to atone for my sins..."
The person who said such a sentence with a trembling voice was none other than Lecti.
"In the past...I couldn't protect important people..."
Lecti said these words in a disappointed and sad tone.
Let Misora and Lizi turn to her.
