"Interesting, right? I know lots of other interesting things too. I'll tell you one by one later. But, Mr. Su Luo, I really think what you should be worried about right now is what's about to happen next. Being a good combat consultant won't be easy. Are you really prepared?"
Now that she finally had someone to share gossip with, Alvitr was in a very good mood herself. At last, all the things she had gathered could be properly shared with someone. Because of that, her opinion of Su Luo had risen quite a bit. Just like he had said earlier—they were bros now—so she couldn't help feeling a little worried about his situation.
With the vice-captain backing him, there definitely wouldn't be any issue with him getting the position. But the Immortal Blades were not the kind of group one could easily fit into. Since they were known as the strongest squad, everyone in the team was at least a little proud and unruly. With some so-called combat consultant suddenly dropping in from the sky, nobody was likely to accept him that easily. So Alvitr felt Su Luo's days in the Immortal Blades were not going to be easy.
To be honest, even she herself felt that way. Why should he get to come to the Immortal Blades and draw a salary for nothing? Saying this now was basically her way of giving Su Luo a warning in advance. If he wasn't mentally prepared, then it would honestly be better for him to just withdraw now. That way everyone could save face. If he really wanted an easy paycheck, he could just ask the vice-captain to arrange some other position for him. Out of respect for the vice-captain, nobody would say anything.
"Prepared? I think I already am."
Su Luo flexed his fingers. He had already figured out how he was going to establish himself in the Immortal Blades. So this was supposed to be a display of power aimed at him? Fine. Then the only question was: who was giving whom the show of force?
"Alright then. Since Lord Su Luo says so, I don't really have anything else to say… Over there is the Immortal Blades' exclusive training room. If you have nothing else to do, you can go take a look around first. I need to go change clothes, and there's still some mission intel I need to compile, so I won't be able to accompany you any further."
After pointing out the direction to him, Alvitr hugged her document bag and ran off. Part of it was indeed because of work, but another part was because she was planning to meet up with the others in the Immortal Blades first. After all, he was someone the vice-captain had personally brought over. They really couldn't afford to give him absolutely no face at all. As the strongest all-purpose assistant, helping smooth out the atmosphere within the team was also something Alvitr demanded of herself.
Exclusive training room?
Watching Alvitr leave, Su Luo stepped inside. The moment he pushed the door open, he saw Durandal training alone on the field.
So this should be one of the Immortal Blades' members, right?
She was doing solo combat training without an opponent, apparently. It seemed that as the combat consultant, he needed to properly instruct her. This would be the perfect place to prove whether he truly had the qualifications to serve as the Immortal Blades' combat instructor.
"Hey, your way of training isn't very good."
My training method isn't very good?
Su Luo's sudden remark made Durandal stop her usual practice. The blonde girl turned around curiously, and the white-haired figure standing over on the platform drew her attention.
Someone she had never seen before.
Durandal had never seen this person anywhere in headquarters. And for him to say something like that to her, it seemed likely he had never seen her before either.
"And you are?"
Without showing the slightest trace of anger at his "rude remark," Durandal looked at the figure slowly walking toward her and asked calmly.
He said her training method was wrong?
There was probably no one in the entire headquarters who would dare say such a thing. As for this person's identity, Durandal was already beginning to form a guess.
"I'm Su Luo, and I'll be your Immortal Blades' combat consultant from here on out. You really don't realize it until you see it for yourself—what a shock. Is this how your Immortal Blades usually train? What's the point of improving yourself by hitting a dead object like a sandbag? If you want to improve your combat skills, you need a different method."
Su Luo straightened his chest and tried to make himself look more imposing. Right now he was recalling scenes from the TV dramas he had watched before, doing his best to imitate those drill instructors and coaches who appeared in them. Surely he looked very professional at this moment.
"Oh? So you're the consultant. Then tell me—what should the correct training method look like?"
At that, Durandal confirmed Su Luo's identity.
The strongest Valkyrie was not angry at Su Luo's "offense." She also wanted to see exactly what level the combat consultant Rita had found for the Immortal Blades possessed. Hitting the sandbag had only been her warm-up. So then—what kind of profound insight did this consultant have?
"Of course, actual combat drills. Only that way can all kinds of combat techniques be turned into instinct. Come on, since there's no one else here, I'll be your opponent. Let me see your strength first. Only then can I give you guidance tailored to you."
Su Luo lifted his chin and puffed out his chest as he said this. His words left Durandal momentarily unsure what expression she ought to make.
Was he serious?
He wanted to be her training opponent?
Of course Durandal knew that real combat drills were the fastest way to improve strength. But at her level, there simply wasn't anyone in the entire headquarters who could serve as her sparring partner. The gap in strength was too wide. Forget improving her—even warming her up was impossible.
And yet this combat consultant actually dared to say something like that.
Wasn't he being a little too bold?
"Mr. Consultant, are you sure? I'm actually pretty strong."
Knowing her own strength, Durandal was genuinely worried that if he really became her opponent, she might beat him into tears. No matter what, he was someone Rita had brought over. If it really came to that, it would look a bit bad. So Durandal seriously asked for confirmation, hoping he had at least some idea of what he was doing.
Right now she was being modest.
If one punch really landed, people could actually die.
"Relax. Come at me with your full strength. If there's any problem, I'll correct it for you."
Su Luo appeared even more calm and detached.
So this was the Immortal Blades' attempt to show him their strength? He had to admit, these girls were still pretty polite about it. But weren't they underestimating him a little too much? It seemed he would have to let them understand just how much weight his title of combat consultant really carried.
Looking at the blonde girl before him as her expression turned serious, Su Luo also assumed a combat stance.
How strong could she really be?
She was just an ordinary Valkyrie.
He'd beat her into tears in minutes.
