That was something Lacte had never mentioned to anyone before.
And with Lacte's personality, it was impossible for her to take the initiative to mention it to others.
But today, Lacte finally plucked up her courage under Mei Kon's encouragement.
"When I was in Oaches, I had two very good friends …"
Then, with her head lowered, she told him about her past in a voice as quiet as a mosquito's.
"They are the children of the main family of Eisenach. Unlike me, who is a branch family member, they have been brave and talented since they were young, and they have always been ahead of me. Whether it's the Magical Dual Sword Technique or combat skills, they have learned them before me, unlike me, who has been holding them back …"
Eisenach Sect advocated strength above all else. Even for children, they were extremely strict. Once they were found to have no talent or could not produce results worthy of recognition, they would be immediately expelled or even exiled from Oaches.
In order not to be abandoned, although Lacte was a coward since she was a child, she still worked very hard to practice the Magical Dual Sword Technique.
"Thanks to the help of the sisters, I successfully practiced the Eisenach Sect's Magical Dual Sword Technique, and I mastered the combat skills step by step. Finally, I'm barely within the acceptable range, and I wasn't expelled by the sect …"
It was a pity that learning was one thing, but whether she could use it well or not were two completely different things.
Because of her personality, Lacte was unable to steadily exert the power of Eisenach Sect's Magical Dual Sword Technique.
This result led to the final tragedy.
That happened when Lacte went out with one of the sisters to buy things on the street.
"At that time, we were entangled by the rogue Aerial Sorcerer …"
Lacte's body trembled slightly as if she remembered what happened at that time.
Presumably, that should be a big psychological trauma for Lacte, right?
Even so, Laxton still told him the truth with great difficulty.
"Because they heard that we were Eisenach Sect Magic Dual Swordsmen, those aerial Magic Shooters launched an attack on us, and I was too timid to use my combat skills. In order to protect me, Alea's shoulder was seriously injured …"
After that, not only did the people of the Eisenach Sect not stand up for Rachel and the others because of this, but they also believed that, as the inheritors of the most powerful Dual Magic Swords, Rachel and the others could not even deal with the rogue pilots and ended up with one of them seriously injured, so they did not have the right to call themselves members of the sect.
Because of that, after that incident, Lacoste was expelled from Eisenach's school, forced to leave Oaches' floating city, and then went to Mystergang to study.
From then on, she vowed to become an outstanding aerial High Mage, to become even stronger and protect even more people.
It was all for the sake of preventing the tragedy from happening again.
Miko and Riko remained silent as they watched Ricky lower her head.
Was this the thoughtfulness of the two girls?
Mei Kong changed the topic.
"Then … what about Riko? So what if it's Li Zi? "
Mei Kong turned to Riko.
That made Lacoste temporarily suppress the sadness in her heart, raised her head, and looked at Riko's direction.
Seeing that, Riko was slightly silent.
Then, Riko snorted softly.
"I'm just trying to defeat a woman."
It was just a simple sentence, yet it made Mei Kong and Lacoste's attention rise to attention.
There was no other way.
After Rozen's previous explanation, Mei Kong and Lacoste realized that Riko's identity was not ordinary.
Riko had the extremely rare talent of Clairvoyance, and she was born in the Flamel Family, which had inherited this talent since ancient times. It was not an exaggeration to say that she came from a famous family.
And according to Rozen, Riko had an elder sister.
"That woman is not like me. Until now, I still haven't opened my eyes, but I've always been arrogant. Don't you think about how shameful that is?"
Riko's unruly words made Mei Kong and Lacoste couldn't help but mutter in their heart.
(Aren't you the arrogant one?)
That was too real.
But at this time, Riko's tone changed.
"Although she hasn't opened her eyes yet, that woman is still a genius. She has always been the focus of attention since she was a child. When I was her age, I already entered the C-class squad. Not only did I receive the expectations of my family, but I also received the expectations of the people around me."
In addition, she had a good character, was skilled in both the pen and the sword, and was able to complete everything easily. Such a perfect and outstanding person was Riko's older sister.
On the other hand, Riko was branded as an inferior student since she was a child.
It was not that Riko's grades were bad. On the contrary, Riko's grades were always above average.
However, her sister was the best among the best students. Her grades were all A's when she was in school. In addition, she served as the secretary of the student council when she was in the fourth grade, the vice president of the student council when she was in the fifth grade, and the president of the student council when she was in the sixth grade. Until she came here, she still climbed to the top, and finally sat in the highest position in the Air Combat Magic Section. She was also a member of the Council of Ten with the highest power in Mistergang. It could be said that she was flawless.
With such an elder sister, Riko's fate could be imagined.
Although her talent was extraordinary, she ignored the rules.
Her personality was erratic. Not only did she often violate the school rules, but she was also regarded as a troublesome person.
In this way, Riko was regarded as an inferior student. Others began to feel disappointed in her, which made Riko unable to trust others anymore. She also felt inferior to her elder sister, who had overwhelming trust from everyone.
Despite that, Riko still wanted to be a perfect person like her elder sister.
She always emphasized that she was a goddess because goddess was synonymous with perfection.
Of course, Riko also knew that she would be ridiculed by others if she called herself a goddess.
However, for Riko, who could no longer trust others, it was exactly what she wanted.
With perfection as her goal, Riko believed that she didn't need anyone else to rely on. She could overcome all problems by herself and get her elder sister's approval.
The reason why Riko despised training before, in addition to her laziness, was because Riko couldn't see the possibility of getting close to her goal. She thought that no matter how hard she trained in the E-class squad, it would be useless.
But now it was different.
Now, there was a person who brought the possibility of evolution to Riko.
Riko couldn't just sit back and watch, which was why she broke her previous code of conduct.
"Let me tell you something first. I don't trust any of you, and I don't acknowledge you as my teammates. Especially Mei Kong, you're the captain of a small squad, but you always rush to the front. How could I possibly approve of someone like you sitting in a higher position than me?"
Riko told him the truth.
But …
"That man's arrival made me realize that if I continue like this, I will never be able to surpass that woman. So, although I don't want to, I don't mind making some compromises if necessary."
Riko ended her explanation just like that.
"Riko …"
Lacoste looked at Riko, a little touched.
Mei Kong didn't get angry because of Riko's words either. Instead, she smiled.
Because …
"That's enough for now."
Mei Kong declared to Riko.
"Sooner or later, I will make you acknowledge me."
Hearing that, Riko shrugged as if she was looking forward to it, but at the same time, she didn't care.
The three of them chatted like that.
The distance between them more or less narrowed a little.
The scene was seen by some observant people.
"Looks like my prediction is very likely to be wrong."
Leaning against the wall of the training ground with his arms crossed, So Rozen smiled as he listened to the girls' laughter.
Then, Rozen turned around and left.
