"Yes, I am here to guide the training under the order of my superiors. The salary is..."
Although it was a bit embarrassing to talk about salary right when meeting, this was exactly what she needed right now.
"There is no problem with the salary. It is the same as your salary at DEM. This is what we agreed with DEM before."
The person in charge seemed to need the fighting power of this ace magician as well.
Elves are appearing frequently in Tiangong City nowadays. If AST really catches or kills an elf, it will solve such a big problem for mankind. Then is it too late for him to get a promotion?
Facing the person in front of him, he just hopes that the other person can stay.
Chapter 143: I really want to touch someone's head
After discussing the relevant matters, Mana walked out of the room.
She was stunned when she saw Okamine Mikie still standing at the door.
"Mikie, I am your superior now!"
As if to avenge the other party's underestimation of him, Shinna stood on tiptoe and was about to touch the other party's head.
Faced with the situation in front of her, Okamine Mikie of course wanted to avoid it.
She dodged the other person's hand in an instant, feeling a little unconvinced.
"Although you are a higher-ranking officer than me and you are also an instructor, but, after all, I am older than you, right?"
Looking at Mana who looked like a junior high school student in front of her, Okamine Mikie was naturally not convinced by the other party touching her head.
Mana watched the other person dodge, feeling somewhat unhappy, and narrowed her eyes at the other person.
He touched her head as soon as we met!
"I was fourteen years ago, but my appearance has not changed."
Mana shook her head and looked at the other party, seeming to still want to put it into practice.
"How about this, we wear the manifestation device and do a drill. As long as you can hold out in my hand for three minutes, I will stop touching you. How about that?"
Looking at the conditions proposed by the other party despite his young appearance, Mikie decided to agree.
As the only member of the AST branch who can use the Ashcroft series manifestation device, even if she is not as strong as Origami-senpai, she should still be able to face a child, right?
"Okay, I promise you."
The two came to the training room, ready to have a fight.
"How about I just wear normal uniforms to prevent people from accusing me of bullying you?"
This is Mana's personality. When facing people who are extremely related to her brother, or people whose abilities she does not recognize, her tone will be somewhat arrogant.
Mikie didn't say anything, she was ready to give it her all.
Arriving at the venue, the two put on their equipment.
As the red light for war came on, the two men began to move.
boom!
Mikie uses the same fighting style that AST used when fighting the elves, with numerous bullet holes opening up on her equipment and micro missiles shooting out of them.
Like a swarm of bees leaving their nest, this missile has thick external armor, which can effectively prevent long-range interception.
Seeing this, Zhenna did not hesitate.
The free field opened, holding the lightsaber in both hands, and like a rocket that was ignited and launched, the whole body rushed towards the opposite side.
Cut! Cut! Cut!
It was invincible along the way, and all the missiles passing by were split into pieces by it and exploded outside the area.
Like a graceful stream of blue light, Mana stabbed directly at Mikie with the sword in his hand.
呲呲呲!
It was a close call, as Mikie's random field and the lightsaber made a friction sound.
Mikie's reaction was still too slow. She just brushed past the other person and almost failed to dodge.
Seeing that her shield capacity had been greatly reduced, Miki's face became heavy.
As expected, he is in the top five. It seems that I underestimated him before.
A beam of concentrated energy was emitted by Mana and shot at Mikie's random area.
AST's manifestation device has a laser module, but because the driving technology of this module is not yet mature and the magic power required is too high, no one is willing to use it.
Compared to energy weapons, everyone still prefers to use kinetic weapons that do not consume magic power.
The laser fired from Mana's manifestation device created ripples in Mikie's territory, rapidly reducing her shield capacity.
Chapter 144: Can this thing be eaten?
It took Mikie nearly a second to complete the turning and dodging movements, allowing her free field to escape the opponent's laser attack.
Mana didn't stop at all. In the past few minutes, she was approaching here while firing lasers.
Gripping the lightsaber tightly in his hand, the blue figure slashed towards Mikie's random area at an extremely fast speed.
boom!
Mikie had no choice but to take out her lightsaber to resist, but in just a moment, a huge force hit her and she couldn't control it, and the lightsaber flew out of her hand.
With another slash, her free field was broken, and Mana held the sword, pointing it at her nose.
"I won."
Seeing this girl who was a little shorter than her being so chic, Mikie could only smile bitterly.
Mana placed her hand on top of her head, finally completing her revenge.
"I am your senior, now you are convinced!"
As if she felt that standing on tiptoe to touch the other person's head was too humiliating, Mana used the display device to float in the air and rubbed the other person's head fiercely.
Feeling the friction on her head, Mikie sighed. With such a temper, even though she is strong enough, she is really just a child, right?
On the other hand, in school, the ringing of the school bell indicates that the students can go home.
Xilin stood at the school gate, looking at the crowds of people walking out of the school. No one came to him for extra lessons, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Sure enough, letting Mana go to AST was the right decision.
Origami should have gone to AST, right?
It had nothing to do with him anyway, so Xilin shook his head and walked towards home.
After the two finished fighting, after some discussion, Mana was touring the various facilities of AST under the guidance of Mikie.
"This is the staff dormitory, senior."
Pointing at the single room dormitory which was obviously smaller than the one in DEM Club, Mikie introduced it to the blue-haired girl.
"For some reason, I am living in the dormitory now. If you need anything, you can always come to me."
Mana looked at the environment here and an idea came to her mind.
"Um, can I live here?"
If she lived here and rented out the DEM staff housing to other employees who needed two houses, she should be able to make a lot of money, right?
"Eh?"
Mikie was a little surprised to hear the other party's question because she had not expected it.
"is it not OK?"
Mana herself seemed to feel that this plan of getting something for nothing would not work.
"No, senior, you can go and apply. I have no say over it. It should be approved soon."
As they were talking, Origami arrived at the dormitory area.
I saw Mikie chatting with someone at a glance.
"Mikie, do you know where the magician from DEM Club that Master mentioned is?"
She had looked in many places along the gate of AST, but she hadn't seen the magician.
Seeing Mikie, Origami became very anxious and went up to her to ask.
"Origami-senpai, you..."
Before Mikie could react, Shinji next to her caught the name.
"Origami, are you Tobiichi Origami? My brother's lover?"
Mana walked around Mikie and placed her hand directly on Origami's shoulder.
Origami had a surprised expression on her face.
The other person's brother, lover? Could it be Shidou?
"I haven't heard that Shidou has a sister like you."
Origami looked at him with a frown on her face. Although he looked very similar to Shidou, she had not discovered that he had any sister other than Gokawa Kotori.
Isn't the intelligence we gather enough?
"My brother and I were separated a long time ago. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."
Mana was in a low mood, and it was obvious that she didn't know why her brother left her.
After hearing the other party's explanation, Origami thought about it.
"But compared to this, you should be the magician sent by DEM. Can you compete with me?"
Origami obviously didn't want to delve into the relationship between the other party and Shidou. She just wanted to defeat the other party, then find Xilin to continue learning, then become stronger, and kill the elf.
Obviously, Mana's attention is no longer here, her mind has completely flown to her brother who is somewhere unknown.
"Will you tell me something about my brother? In return, I can have a mock battle with you."
Mana's eyes were full of pleading. Even if she couldn't see her brother now, she wanted to understand what kind of person her brother was first.
At this moment, Xilin arrived at the door of his house and looked at the house next door.
Mana hasn't come back yet, so she should be at AST, right? Origami is probably already fighting with the other party, right? They should go to find Shidou soon, so they can't take care of her.
Thinking about the other party's whereabouts, Xilin opened the door of his house.
The Honkai energy was extremely strong, and a large amount of Honkai energy overflowed from it.
This is the residential area for DEM employees!
Looking at the Honkai energy spreading around, Xilin was terrified.
"Boundary of restraint!"
The golden barrier directly enveloped the house. Under Xilin's intentional control, the collapsing energy that overflowed from the outside was slowly eliminated.
Inside the house, purple mist enveloped everything, and Bella controlled it to prevent it from spreading further.
Originally, the Honkai energy was under control in the house, but because Xilin suddenly opened the door, some of the Honkai energy dissipated, making Bella a little panicked.
"My Lady Queen, you are back!"
Even through the thick fog, she could still sense the Queen's obvious Honkai energy fluctuations at once.
"Bella, what... are you doing?"
Looking at the unknown Honkai energy in the house, Xilin asked the question in his mind.
"Oh! Your Majesty, are you going to eat your meal first or me first?"
Hearing Xilin's question, Bella remembered what she had done before.
Hastily acting out the scene she had imagined before, Bella's preparations were a little hasty due to the miscalculation of Xilin's return time.
There was an object on the plate that was constantly emitting Honkai energy, and Bella brought it in front of Xilin.
This……
Xilin looked at Bella and roughly guessed what had happened.
