When Fang Zheng returned to the hotel, to his surprise, Priestess brought him an unexpected surprise.

"Sir Knight, I have found a companion who is willing to join us?"

"real?"

Fang Zheng was also quite surprised when he heard Priestess' happy report.

"What kind of person is he?"

"That's her."

As she spoke, Priestess stretched out her hand and pointed behind her. Only then did Fang Zheng realize that behind Priestess, there stood a girl who looked about the same age as her. She had blond waist-length hair and was wearing

The adventurer's armor, with a long sword hanging on his waist... Well, it looks like he is a melee adventurer.

The girl was very beautiful, but unlike Priestess, she looked expressionless, as if she didn't care about anything.

"How did you find her?"

"I met her at the temple. I heard that she wanted to become stronger and was looking for companions. I invited her to join, and she agreed."

"Uh...wait."

After hearing this, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand to hold his forehead and was silent for a moment.

"Well...let me explain it carefully. Are you saying that you met this lady in the temple, and then she said she wanted to find adventurers with whom she could become stronger?"

"Yes."

"Why in the temple? Generally speaking, shouldn't you go to the Adventurer's Guild to find adventurers?"

"I'm not very clear about this..."

"Forget it, let me ask."

Fang Zheng sighed helplessly, and then walked to the blond girl, who stood there quietly, staring at him. There was no expression on her fair face, only a bit of curiosity in her eyes.

"Uh... Hello, this lady, my name is Fang Zheng. I am currently the leader of this team. I would like to ask, do you want to join us?"

"Yes."

"Uh...what's the reason?"

"I want to become stronger."

"...No, I mean...forget it."

Seeing the blond girl tilt her head slightly and cast a curious look at him, Fang Zheng helplessly raised his hands in surrender.

"It seems that you are a warrior with a good level, so I will tell you upfront that our team is not very strong. As you can see, here is a man who only knows two gods.

The little priest who has magic skills, and our remaining 'big magician' (gritting his teeth) is a guy who can only cast one explosive spell a day, and then it is completely useless. Even so, do you want to join?

"

"Yes."

"Well……………"

Facing the girl's unhesitating and non-sloppy answer, Fang Zheng was also speechless.

"What's the reason?"

"because………"

As she spoke, the girl raised her head and stared at Fang Zheng.

"You are strong."

"…………"

What is the reason for this?

But at least it's a reason.

"I am indeed very strong, at least better than you."

Fang Zheng nodded unceremoniously.

"So how about this? I will train you and make you stronger, and you will join our team? This is part of the deal, how about it, do you agree?"

"Um."

The blond girl nodded again and then stood there without saying a word.

"Okay... Then you are welcome to join... What is your name?"

"Ace Wallenstein."

In this way, a girl swordsman named Ais Wallenstein joined this adventure team that has not yet had a name.

Like everyone else, Fang Zheng also conducted a test on her.

"Listen, this is a test, but it's also a battle."

Standing in the open space outside the city, Fang Zheng held a large black sword and a silver dagger in his hands, staring at Aisi in front of him.

"Show all your strength and let me see what you are capable of."

"…………"

Faced with Fang Zheng's words, Aisi did not answer, but nodded slightly, and then she drew out the long sword from her waist.

"Come on, Ace! Beat him to pieces!"

Huihui, who was watching the show next to her, suddenly screamed happily. She was tortured by Fang Zheng every day, so she was naturally very angry. Although Aisi had just joined, the two of them didn't even exchange a few words.

But now Megumin is completely on Aiz's side.

"Haha, I'll take care of you when I get back."

Looking at Hui Hui jumping up and down, Fang Zheng chuckled, and then he looked at the girl in front of him.

"Come first, let me see what you are capable of."

"…………"

Aisi did not speak. She clenched the sword and slowly drew it out. The next moment, the girl's figure flashed and appeared in front of Fang Zheng in the blink of an eye. The long sword in her hand swung down like lightning and slashed at Fang Zheng.

past.

It's a speed type...although that's not surprising.

Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows at Aisi's reaction, but he was not surprised. Generally speaking, if women are not talented warriors, most of them focus on speed. And the Aisi in front of him is obviously no exception.

Her speed is very fast and her movements are very decisive. Strictly speaking, she is a bit like an upgraded version of Asuna + Yuki.

However, it is still far from enough to deal with yourself.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng moved his right hand slightly, and swung out the big black sword suddenly. With a "clang" sound, he easily blocked Aisi's attack. Then Fang Zheng flipped the black big sword in his hand, and then he saw Aisi's long hair.

The sword slid along the spine of the big sword, and Aisi instantly lost her balance at this moment. Then Fang Zheng kicked out without hesitation, hitting her in the abdomen, followed by a muffled grunt.

Ais flew backwards like a discharged cannonball and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, Megumin and Priestess who were watching the battle were stunned.

After a while, Huihui jumped up in panic.

"Wait, wait a minute, what are you doing to a girl!"

"This is a fight."

Fang Zheng put down the big sword in his hand and looked at Ais lying on the ground not far away. At this moment, Priestess also ran over in a hurry, came to Ais' side and called her in a low voice.

"Are you OK!"

"Woo..."

Perhaps hearing Priestess' call, Ais opened her eyes, shook her head, and slowly sat up.

At this time, Fang Zheng also walked to her side.

"Do you know what the problem is?"

"…………"

Faced with Fang Zheng's inquiry, Aisi was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

"Your strength control is too poor."

Fang Zheng waved the sword in his hand again.

"Indeed, a full-strength attack at the beginning may defeat the enemy by surprise, but if the enemy is much stronger than you, then this is equivalent to directly telling the enemy, 'Please kill me'. If

If I had just slashed you with my sword instead of kicking you out, you would have been dismembered."

"………………"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Aisi didn't say anything more, she just turned over and climbed up, raising her sword again and pointing at Fang Zheng.

Mang... Mang, um...

Looking at Aisi in front of him, Fang Zheng didn't know why, but he suddenly remembered Asuna when he first entered the death game. Asuna was the same at that time, she was hard enough, but other than that, she was a bit too hard.

, meaning can’t find the direction.

Now this girl seems to have a clear direction, but... her strength is still too weak.

So………

"Let's do it again."
