Talia was a very strict instructor.
But her guidance was often sharp and precise. Even Alyssa had gained a great deal of insight after only a short battle.
Talia did not end the training. Instead, she snapped her fingers once more.
In the next mont, the ice covering the bodies of the [Mountain Giants] instantly lted away.
Although the leading [Mountain Giant] still had no idea what was going on, they could clearly sense the threat coming from Talia. So, roaring nonstop, they charged straight toward her!
Yet at that critical mont, Talia’s figure suddenly flashed, and she vanished from where she stood.
At the sa ti, she left a warm and affectionate remark for Alyssa beside her:
"Alyssa, I’ll leave all these [Mountain Giants] to you!"
...
Talia returned to the shade beneath the tree.
Just as she was about to sit down and continue enjoying her crispy potato chips,
she suddenly sensed a very familiar aura!
Her eyes lit up with delight, and she imdiately jumped to her feet, spreading her arms wide toward a certain direction.
Caelan’s body flashed. He had originally intended to dodge, but Talia shifted angles and threw herself straight into his arms instead!
Lazybones Talia, are you body-checking people with your chest again??
"Stinky little brother, so you still rembered to co see ? Be honest—have you already started treating like a tool now??"
"Hmph, I refuse to be molded into your shape!!"
The corner of Caelan’s mouth twitched violently.
Listen to that—what kind of outrageous nonsense was lazybones Talia even saying?!
"Ahem, Talia, stop joking around. There are so many people here!"
But Talia did not care in the slightest. She vigorously ruffled Caelan’s hair and said,
"Oh? Our stinky little brother’s all grown up now? You even know how to get embarrassed?"
"Tell then—did you co here to apologize to ? Since you’re being so sincere, big sis will forgive you!"
Seeing that lazybones Talia had forgiven him, Caelan quietly let out a sigh of relief.
Talia then brought him over to stand before the female legion mbers.
The mont they saw Caelan appear, the girls could not help whispering among themselves.
How could they possibly not have heard of the most popular handso guy in Ironclad Legion these days?
It was just that Caelan was always elusive, like a divine dragon that showed its head but never its tail. Many of them had only heard his na, but had never actually seen him in person.
There had even been a rumor that Caelan was so hulking musclehead!
However, the instant Caelan appeared, many of the girls widened their eyes, their gazes practically sparkling.
"Wow, Caelan really is so handso!"
"So bright and charming—totally my type!"
Talia gave a light cough, and the girls instantly fell silent.
After the last few days of training, they had already co to realize how terrifying this instructor really was.
"Stinky little brother, say hello to everyone!"
Smiling sweetly, Talia pushed Caelan forward in front of the group.
Caelan froze for a mont, then smiled and greeted them.
But just then, an angry roar suddenly ca from the forest not far away.
In the next instant, the massive [King of the Mountain Giants] suddenly charged out!
Faced with this sudden turn of events, quite a few of the female legion mbers turned pale with fright.
Caelan had originally intended to step in, but at that mont, he caught the mischievous look on lazybones Talia’s face.
So... this had actually been part of her plan all along?
Thus, Caelan decisively gave up any intention of intervening. Instead, he smiled and asked in return,
"Talia, should we make things a little more difficult for your trainees?"
The mont those words ca out, the female legion mbers all stared in stunned disbelief.
Wait, how can such a handso guy be this inhuman??
Can’t you see we’re already struggling this badly, and you still want to raise the difficulty?
Listen to yourself—does that sound like sothing a human would say??
On the other side, Talia gave Caelan a thumbs-up in approval.
"Stinky little brother, well done!"
Caelan smiled faintly. Then, gripping his longsword in one hand, he gave a light swing toward the [King of the Mountain Giants].
In the next mont, the [King of the Mountain Giants]’ thick black hair was completely severed in an instant!
The [King of the Mountain Giants] froze on the spot.
He halted in utter disbelief, then reached up and touched the back of his head.
When his hand felt a patch of smooth skin, his huge single eye instantly filled with bloodshot fury!
"ROAR!!!"
The [King of the Mountain Giants] had actually entered a berserk state!
In truth, the berserk reaction of the [King of the Mountain Giants] was perfectly understandable.
Because to the [Mountain Giant] race, hair ant more than anything else. It was a symbol of identity and status!
So once his hair had been shaved off, the [King of the Mountain Giants] had effectively lost all of his dignity.
"ROAR!!!"
Along with the furious howl of the [King of the Mountain Giants], a notification box appeared before every awakener present.
[King of the Mountain Giants has entered a berserk state, attribute points x3]
???
When the female legion mbers saw that, they felt so miserable they could hardly describe it!
Alyssa was the first to react. She imdiately tried to organize the other mbers into a battle formation to resist.
However, the [King of the Mountain Giants] was even faster than she had expected!
In almost an instant, he rushed in front of one of the female legion mbers and stomped down viciously!
The girl did not even have ti to scream. Her vision went black, and she lost consciousness on the spot.
When she ca to her senses again, she found that she had already been returned to Talia’s side.
And Talia, from who-knew-where, had sohow pulled out a small notebook and marked a huge "X" beside the girl’s na.
"Your result is unacceptable!"
The girl opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, another figure appeared beside her.
"You too—unacceptable!"
...
After only five short minutes,
Alyssa was the only one left on the battlefield, still struggling to hold on.
At that mont, nearly everyone’s eyes were fixed on Alyssa.
Right now, Alyssa herself was also locked in a desperate battle.
The lance in her hands was so enormous that it actually limited her mobility.
However, the lance also provided an imnse defensive advantage.
The reason Alyssa had managed to hold out until now was, in no small part, thanks to that lance.
Seeing that Alyssa had actually endured this long, the other female legion mbers could not help exclaiming in admiration.
"As expected of Goddess Alyssa—she’s still so strong. Even against the [King of the Mountain Giants], she can hold out this long!"
"Ugh... I wonder when I’ll ever reach 5-star. I’m so jealous!"
"At Alyssa’s current pace, she’ll probably be challenging 6-star before long, right?"
