When Fangzheng returned to the hotel, to his surprise, the priestess brought him a pleasant surprise.
"Sir Knight, I found a companion who is willing to join us."
"Really?"
Fangzheng was surprised to hear the priestess' report.
"What kind of person is she?"
"That's her."
As she spoke, the priestess stretched out her hand and pointed behind her. At this time, Fangzheng discovered that behind the priestess stood a girl who looked about the same age as her. She had waist-length blonde hair, wore an adventurer's armor, and had a long sword hanging at her waist …. Hmm, she seemed to be a melee adventurer.
The girl was very beautiful, but unlike the priestess, she looked expressionless, as if she didn't care about anything.
"When and how did you find her?"
"I met her in the temple. I heard that she wants to become stronger and is looking for a companion. I invited her to join us, and she agreed. "
"Uh …. Wait."
Fangzheng put his hand on his forehead and was silent for a moment.
"Hmm …. Let me think about it carefully. You're saying that you met this lady in the temple, and she said she wants to find an adventurer who can become stronger together?"
"Yes."
"Why the temple? Shouldn't adventurers go to the Adventurer's Guild? "
"This …. I'm not very sure …."
"Forget it, let me ask."
Fangzheng sighed helplessly and walked to the blonde girl. The blonde girl stood there quietly and looked at him. There was no expression on her fair face, only a hint of curiosity could be seen in her eyes.
"Uh …. Hello, miss, my name is Fangzheng, and I'm currently the leader of this party. I want to ask, do you want to join us?"
"Yes."
"Uh …. Why?"
"I want to become stronger."
"…. No, I mean …. Forget it."
Looking at the blonde girl tilting her head slightly and casting a curious gaze at him, Fangzheng helplessly raised his hands in surrender.
"It looks like you're a warrior with a decent standard. That's why I'm telling you that our team isn't that strong. As you can see, this is a little priest who only knows two divine spells, and our remaining 'archmage' (gritting his teeth) can only release one explosive spell a day, and then he's completely useless. Even so, do you still want to join us? "
"Yes."
"Uh …"
Fangzheng was speechless at the girl's unhesitant and decisive answer.
"What's the reason?"
"Because …"
As she spoke, she lifted her head and stared at Fangzheng.
"You are very strong."
"…"
What kind of reason was that?
But at least it was a reason.
"I am indeed very strong, at least stronger than you."
Fangzheng nodded without hesitation.
"How about this? I'll train you and make you stronger, and you'll join our team? That's part of the deal. How about it, do you agree? "
"Yes."
The blonde girl nodded again, then stood in place without saying a word.
"Well … then I welcome you to join us … What's your name?"
"Aise Wallenstein."
Just like that, the swordswoman named Aise Wallenstein joined the adventure team that still had no name.
Like the others, Fangzheng also gave her a test.
"Listen up, this is a test, but it's also a battle."
Standing in the open space outside the city, Fangzheng held the black greatsword and the silver dagger in his hands, staring at Aise in front of him.
"Show me your full strength. Let me see what you've got."
"…"
Aise did not answer Fangzheng's words. She just nodded slightly and drew the longsword at her waist.
"Come on, Aise! Beat him to a pulp! "
Hui Hui, who was watching the show from the side, suddenly shouted excitedly. She was tortured by Fangzheng's vicious tongue every day, so she was naturally furious. Although Aise had just joined and the two had not even exchanged a few words, Hui Hui was already completely on Aise's side.
"Hehe, I'll deal with you when we get back."
Looking at Hui Hui jumping up and down, Fangzheng chuckled, then looked at the girl in front of him.
"You first. Let me see what you've got."
"…"
Aise did not speak. She clenched the longsword and slowly drew it out. The next moment, the girl's figure flashed and appeared in front of Fangzheng in the blink of an eye. The longsword in her hand swung down like lightning, slashing at Fangzheng.
A speed type, huh … Although it wasn't a big surprise.
Fangzheng raised his eyebrows at Aise's reaction, but he was not surprised. Generally speaking, if a female warrior was not gifted, most of them would focus on speed. Clearly, Aiz was no exception. She was very fast, and her movements were very decisive. Strictly speaking, she was a bit like an upgraded version of Asuna and Yuki.
But she was still far from being able to deal with him.
With that thought in mind, Fangzheng's right hand moved slightly. The pitch-black greatsword suddenly swung out and easily blocked Aise's attack with a clang. Then, Fangzheng flipped the pitch-black greatsword in his hand. Aise's longsword slid along the back of the greatsword, causing her to instantly lose her balance. Without hesitation, Fangzheng kicked her in the lower abdomen. With a muffled groan, Aise flew out like a cannonball and fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, Hui Hui and the priestess who were watching the battle were stunned.
After a while, Hui Hui jumped up in panic.
"Wait, wait a minute, what are you doing to a girl!"
"This is a battle."
Fangzheng put down the greatsword in his hand and looked at Aise, who was lying on the ground not far away. At this time, the priestess also hurried over to Aise and called her in a low voice.
"Are you okay!"
"Woo … …"
Perhaps hearing the priestess' call, Aise opened her eyes, shook her head, and slowly sat up.
At this time, Fangzheng also walked to her side.
"Do you know what the problem is?"
"… … …"
In the face of Fangzheng's question, Aise was silent for a moment, then shook her head.
"Your strength control is too poor."
Fangzheng swung the greatsword in his hand again.
"It's true that an all-out attack at the beginning might defeat the enemy when they least expect it, but if the enemy's strength is much stronger than yours, then it's equivalent to directly telling the enemy to 'please kill me'. If I didn't kick you just now but slashed my sword at you instead, your head would have been separated from your body."
"… … …"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Aise did not say much. She just turned over and got up, raised her sword again, and pointed at Fangzheng.
Reckless … .reckless, hmm ….
Looking at Aise in front of him, for some reason, Fangzheng suddenly remembered Asuna when he first entered the death game. At that time, Asuna was also like this. She fought with all her might, but apart from that, she was a little too strong and couldn't find her direction.
Now, this girl seemed to have a clear direction, but … .she was still too weak.
Then …..
"Let's do it again."
While saying that, Fangzheng raised the greatsword in his hand again.
