Oswald was born handsome, but. . .her transformation was on another level. A transformation refers to a phenomenon in which a human body changes into its most ideal form. In other words, Alicia currently possessed the most perfect body a human could have.
Even though she used to give off a childish vibe, making it easy to think of her as a little sister, and live in the same room without any problems. . .the current Alicia was a woman, a true woman in every sense of the word.
“Wow. . . Oswald, did you make a lot of money?”
“I got a pretty good salary when I was in the Order.”
The Order of the Holy Knights Paladin was a profession that involved risking one’s life, so they received a higher salary than the knights of other orders. Since they had sworn an oath to God, they didn’t have to worry about running away unless they were excommunicated.
And so, Alicia and Oswald began their journey home, feeling awkward in the same room. Of course, Alicia, the person in question, didn’t seem to mind. . .which helped to ease the awkwardness to some extent.
Just then. . .BOOM!
Along with the vibration, an explosion could be heard not far away. When Oswald opened the window to check outside, he saw flames rising from the middle of the train. This can’t be good. . .
“Oswald!”
“Yeah?”
“Remember?”
“What?”
“When we first rode the train together.”
“Ah. . . yes, I remember.”
Thinking back on that time, Oswald couldn’t help but chuckle. There was a time when he had to face his enemies with just his Phoenix’s Bracelet and a gun, with his incredibly weak body.
Compared to that time, he had certainly transformed, to the point where it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he had become a completely different person. . .
“Okay, just like that time! Let’s team up and subdue the terrorists!”
“. . .”
Looking at Alicia, who seemed excited, Oswald gave her one instruction.
“Hey, don’t get so excited that you blow up the train, okay?”
“What? Do you think I’m some kind of immature child who doesn’t know any better?”
Alicia said, sounding slightly offended.
“I’m just pointing out the fact that you might get carried away by your newfound power.”
“Hmm. . .”
“Anyway, let’s go. We’re in the front car, so if we head towards the middle, we’ll eventually run into the terrorists.”
“Okay.”
Oswald, who had taken out his Winchester V11 at some point, took the lead. As he walked forward, aiming his gun, he met Sword officers who had been deployed on the train after the last terrorist incident.
“I’m a student at Imperius Academy!”
Since they were wearing their uniforms, they were able to gain some trust for the time being.
“What’s the situation?”
“The liberal revolutionaries have taken over the middle cars and are trying to separate them. There are still some officers in the rear cars defending them, but it’s hard to say how much longer they can hold out. . .”
Oswald then showed them his student ID from his magic pouch and told them that he would take care of it. His student ID not only contained Oswald’s personal information, but also his current rank.
A Platinum Rank. Since it was the same level as a Platinum-grade adventurer in society, the Sword officers believed Oswald.
Oswald took the lead and headed towards the middle cars. His high Sensory Level scanned each of the rooms in the cars, searching for danger, but fortunately there were no dangerous elements yet.
Just then! A dangerous element was detected from the passageway connecting the opposite cars.
Oswald immediately put his backpack on his shoulder and fired a large-caliber bullet at the door.
BANG!
With a loud noise, a large bullet tore through the air and pierced the door, followed by a series of thuds as something fell to the ground.
Oswald, who had quickly reached the passageway, opened the door. . .and saw two bodies wearing green long coats with their heads blown off.
“These guys are like cockroaches. . .”
Oswald kicked the bodies aside and led Alicia to the next car.
At that moment, dangerous elements could be felt in each of the rooms. . .
In some of the rooms, civilians were being held hostage and used as shields. Oswald put away his Winchester and used Blood Daemon to materialize the ‘Witness Elite Match’. It was the most accurate and reliable pistol that Oswald knew of.
Then, as he reached each room, he pulled the trigger based on the information his senses were giving him.
BANG! BANG! BANG. . .BANG! BANG!
In an instant, Oswald had taken care of the liberal revolutionaries hiding in ten of the cars.
Then, several hostages who had been held in some of the cars came out, covered in blood.
“If you go forward, you’ll find some Sword officers.”
With that, Oswald moved on to the next car.
Meanwhile, the liberal revolutionaries, who had received a report of the enemy’s discovery via magic communicator, were converting the dining car into a fortress. Soon, as the sound of gunfire grew closer from the front cars. . .and the sound of a passageway door opening could be heard, they began firing with the manually operated Gatling gun they had set up in advance.
RAT-A-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!
At the sudden gunfire, Oswald was about to transform Blood Daemon when Alicia’s magic was unleashed first.
“Shield!”
A translucent barrier enveloped Oswald’s entire body, blocking the incoming bullets.
“Thanks, Alicia.”
“Was I helpful?”
“Uh. . .yeah!”
