Chapter 151: Chapter 39: Notice and Corpse
"Hmm..."
Accompanied by the morning sun, Bianka slowly opened her hazy eyes while lying on the bed and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling in front of her with a confused mind.
"Ah~"
After a while, after waking up more, Bianka finally realized where she was. She yawned and sat up slowly.
It's really not surprising that Bianka felt the ceiling was unfamiliar. Since she was unlocked, she had only woken up in a hotel bed a few times, not to mention this room that she had hardly lived in since she moved in.
"Finally, no one bothers me for the time being..."
Looking at the quiet hotel room in front of her, Bianka thought of what happened last night and sighed helplessly.
At the same time, she quickly remembered another thing that made her a little concerned.
That is, the side-quest mentioned by the system last night. Bianka discussed with her other "selves" and finally chose to agree.
Unfortunately, until this morning, no one triggered any special tasks.
As for why Bianka felt pity, the reason was simple... because she was really bored. Apart from training and getting together with friends every day, there was only the competitive game that she could not look forward to at all.
So at this time, she hoped to trigger some challenging tasks. But now it seems that it is still a rare opportunity.
"Ah..."
With a sigh, Bianka moved her body and got up quickly. After all, she didn't have the bad habit of staying in bed, and it was almost time for breakfast.
However, not long after Bianka got up and washed, a knock on the door suddenly sounded...
"Dong Dong——"
"...?"
The moment she heard the knock on the door, Bianka's face changed, and her hands paused.
Although she hadn't opened the door yet and didn't ask who was coming, based on her experience and intuition... 80% of the time it was those guys.
Sure enough, a muffled sound that came through the door reached the room. "Miss Bianka, are you there? I'm a staff member of the Kazimierz Major, and I'm here to inform you of something."
" •᷄ࡇ•᷅ "
"...Yes, wait a moment."
After responding reluctantly, Bianka quickened the pace of washing her hands. She wanted to see what the reason was or what excuse they used to find her.
It had only been one night and someone came to find her. Bianka had to doubt their intentions. Rather than saying they were notifying her of something, it looked more like a test.
...
"Click——"
After washing, Bianka checked her clothes, walked to the door, and opened the hotel room door.
"What's going on with the Kazimierz Major?"
While speaking, Bianka also silently looked at the man in the work uniform in front of her.
Then, after confirming that the man in front of her was just an ordinary employee, she calmly withdrew her gaze.
After hearing Bianka's question, the staff member did not hesitate and explained respectfully.
"It's like this, Miss Bianka, you have advanced to the knockout round this time, and you will be able to participate in the tournament soon, but you are an independent knight and there are some requirements that need to be notified to you."
"That is, the subsequent competitions require you to join a Knightclub or a family and represent them in the competition."
"Okay, I understand, is there anything else?"
After listening to the explanation of the person in front of her, Bianka raised her eyebrows slightly with a strange look in her eyes, and then continued to ask.
Obviously, Bianka didn't expect that this time it was really just a notification...
"No, this is the notification that the Kazimierz Major asked me to give you."
"Yeah."
...
"Bang..."
After sending the Kazimierz Major staff away, Bianka closed the door of the room, and a trace of entanglement flashed in her blue eyes.
Although it was not a test that surprised her, she was more entangled with the rules of the game than this.
Bianka naturally knew this rule, but whether to temporarily join a Knightclub or to create a Knightclub of her own right now... she hadn't decided yet.
As for the family... she hadn't considered it from the beginning. She wasn't from the local area, so why would she join a local group?
So, Bianka really hated this kind of formalism. She could directly participate in the competition, so why did she have to have such a false name? It's not like she couldn't win...
However, there was still a long time before the championship, so Bianka was not in a hurry. She planned to ask Zofia, who had more experience in this area, later before making a decision.

Outskirts of Kalawariekli——
"..."
At the moment, Roy Lapis Lazuli was looking at the scene in front of him, and the shock in his eyes could not be concealed.
A large forest in the suburbs was flattened, and the trees were turned into wood chips...
From time to time, some familiar corpses could be seen on the bumpy ground...
To be honest, Roy who had been "hard" looking for clues all the way and had just come here never expected to see such a scene.
Because the "prey" had returned to the city safely, he guessed that the Darksteel might have been severely damaged, and even estimated his death...
However, sometimes death and the way of death cannot be compared... Who killed some people and blew up half of the forest?
"..."
After sorting out his complicated mood and expression, Roy moved carefully and vigilantly towards the destroyed place in front.
He now needed to confirm whether his boss, one of the three Darksteels of the Armorless Uniom, was still alive. After all, he had to see the person alive or the body dead, otherwise he would not be able to report.
However, as Roy walked slowly, more and more details came into his eyes.
At the same time, he became more and more frightened as he looked at it...
However, he soon noticed a detail. Although there were many corpses on the ground, they were generally divided into two categories. Most of them were similar to the kind of "bumps" that hit people to pieces.
Some of the very few deaths were caused by clean and sharp blade wounds on the vulnerable parts of the body.
As his steps continued to deepen, Roy finally saw the Darksteel he had been looking for...
"Hiss——"
However, his boss's appearance at this moment successfully made Roy take a breath of cold air, and even a chill ran down his spine.
The Darksteel, who was usually serious and even terrifying, fell to the ground with his headless body, and the body looked terrifying and twisted due to external injuries.
His head, which showed puzzlement and surprise, rolled not far away and looked at his twisted body.
And in this slightly terrifying scene, a small blue flower on the ground still showed its beauty and brightness.
