The Queen Of The Zodiac
Ex-Chapter 13: The Problem of Keep Coming

...Training arena...

...6 October...

Yuri was in a training arena, though, this arena was once a colosseum that had many memories for Vermilion and was now used as a place to practice the knights who had brave souls and they were also very focused.

Of course the part to train the sword technique was in Charles' hands, the rough attacking technique was in Leon's hands, and the, the techniques in defense and evasion are in the responsibility of Charlotte's teachings and the last attacking technique in using the bow is also a technique in magic control practiced by Groceria.

What about the soldiers who use the Anomaly? they are specially trained by Special ops as well as Yuri herself.

That day was another peaceful day, everything went smoothly and Yuri enjoyed it while using this opportunity to recall the teachings of the Cosmos that she had forgotten for approximately five thousand years.

He did not expect that Heavenly General was a zodiac sign that had more power than he had, or maybe Yuri had forgotten how.

Even if in retrospect not all the power he put out, that's why Yuri had to hit his forehead with his palm once.

Reflexes of his own stupidity, he does not have an intelligence in fighting and intelligence in thinking about something that surely Yuri does always cause heart, feelings or ego.

"Your highness... You're all right?. "

There was a friendly sound in Yuri's ear and as Yuri looked at the source of the sound, it was Charles who came to see her.

"Ah yes, I'm sorry, but I'm fine. " Reply Yuri.

Charles nodded slowly and gave a note containing the status of the soldiers. All of them are healthy and strong, on average they have the predicate A+ although there is a predicate C in the physical but has the predicate A there is even the worst, all of them B or C.

That includes good things according to Yuri, nothing instant. Perhaps except for him who was instantly given strength without knowing the experience and also the knowledge of good combat.

The martial karate he learned during and before he was reincarnated was not enough compared to what he is today because he also had to master the technique of using weapons.

Or Yuri is quite dependent on Ai gadgets and more set mindset as she fights, but there is one thing that Yuri and Yuri think of telling Charles to prepare for a duel between Charles and himself.

"Eh, the duel really?. "

Charles muttered and reflexively said a question to Yuri and Yuri nodded. Charles then knew what he was doing when he looked into Yuri's eyes, the arena had to be cleaned as usual.

Charles leaves and without further ado, Yuri begins to search for data on Ai's memories and discovers his battle with Vajra.

He performs, searches, processes and receives data from Vajra's movements while fighting with the sword.

New memories have emerged and he remembers all the moves from Vajra and he slightly steals some fighting styles that even Vajra has not shown him.

He also copied the attacking, defensive exercises conducted by Charles, Leona and Charlotte.

...6 October...

...13:00...

Still in the arena, Yuri wanted to show a little about the experience of the knights through the simulation conducted by Yuri and Charles.

In other words, it could be said that Yuri would do sparing with Charles.

"Don't hesitate to release your weapon at me, Your Majesty. " Said Charles.

Spar begins and Charles first attacks Yuri by jumping, crashing position but when he is above, his existence disappears like light and he is behind Yuri.

The sound of a clashing sword was already heard, Yuri's reaction would do a stalk and Charles' speed in attacking was equally fast.

Yuri still did not hold her katana and only wore a replica sword that came from the wind element she created as usual.

The impact had the effect of a large wind that was forced to make Charles crash far enough from Yuri's view.

Charles treaded perfectly and he ran, doing the same technique but this time he made a swing, he appeared on the left but suddenly was on the right.

"Freedom-"

"The dance of a thousand shadows."

Charles stops short of his power, is replaced by holding Yuri's hand and he immediately teleports along with Yuri to a safe place from attack.

He did this because an attack shot towards both of them, the attack was quite dangerous and if he did not dodge, he would be cut into pieces.

"...!! Attack again...?! ." Yuri Seru.

This man had a red aura and his mouth he covered with a kind of mask connected to his clothes. I don't know Yuri was also confused how this man wore such clothes.

Suddenly the man appeared before Yuri and Charles immediately stood in front of Yuri.

"Whatdidyouwant... And who are you. " Said Charles, pointing his sword at the man.

This man was silent and had a sharp gaze, his appearance was more like a ninja than an adventurer, a knight even the samurai Yuri knew like Vajra.

" My name, Hanzo. Hanzo Hattori, I am from the Iga Clan and I am here looking for Mikami Masami. "

His words were very cold and there were no emotions contained in them nor did he try to hide them.

"I'm here. "

There was a female voice echoing in this Arena, Yuri saw Mikami descend slowly from the audience stands along with Leona who was with her.

Of course Mikami came to see the training so that he could re-learn the science of Vermilion and he had time to swear allegiance to Yuri.

Mikami gallantly walked up to Hanzo fearlessly and his right hand was on standby at the base of his katana.

"Why are you looking for me, Hanzo. " Said Mikami.

Hanzo nodded his head, his eyes still the same, cold and there was no expression or soul contained in his eyes.

"First, I came here to apologize for our delay in helping the Masami clan..."

Hanzo exhaled and let out his breath, invisible but Yuri knew he was doing a time to continue speaking.

"Second, I want to give you information..Because of the great sword between Vermilion, Emerald and Calleum. The Supreme Council invites you and the leaders of countries across the continent behind closed doors. " obviously.

Hanzo paused for a moment and took out a rolled up paper, Hanzo changed the direction of his body and looked towards Yuri while extending his hand to give the scroll.

"This, take.. " Say Hanzo.

After Yuri took the scroll while saying thanks, Hanzo nodded his head and disappeared from their sight.

Mikami was unmoved, her eyes glared and she looked glum. Implied mixed flavors, her lips trembled and Mikami clenched her hands tightly until she finally exhaled as deeply as she could as she pulled him back and that was what she was doing now without making any disturbing sounds.

"I know Your Majesty, but take it easy.. I swear allegiance to protect you, I will come with you at the meeting. " Said Mikami.

Mikami lowered her head to pay her respects and she also squatted down to pay her respects again. I don't know what possessed this girl but at least she didn't have any evil intentions or any ill intentions or anything like that.

"No, you stay here.. If I'm not wrong, you're a noble aren't you ? "

There was Charlotte's voice and then Charlotte's figure came towards them.

" Ryuusei no Ikari.. Mother, I have read the history book of the Ryuusei no Ikari and the book is uttered even though this is a replica of the katana mahaprapta or known Vajra... The weapon had power equal to what Vajra had.. " obviously.

Charlotte then explains even giving the conclusion that this is a risky encounter because Yuri will be targeted by people who seek power like Ryuusei no Ikari or even Ryuusei no Ikari itself.

Charlotte also predicted for sure some rulers would want to have those weapons as well.

"How do you know? " Reply Yuri with a question.

"Mother, Seeker is a group of criminals who like to troublemaking in search of a treasure even they are often found to pickpocket. "

Yuri nodded in understanding, he stored it into the memory of Ai gadget and Ai gadget got information that Seeker if affairs with men, they did not hesitate to end the man who became a victim of pickpocketing.

If it was a woman or a girl, they would kidnap them to be their pleasure material. At least 23 cases were successfully treated and 4 cases are still under investigation.

If Seeker is in a good mood, then at night. They drive the kidnapped girl home secretly in a state of unconsciousness due to hypnotized sleep and a little magic to eliminate the memory of unpleasant events in the victim.

Yuri wants to solve the problem, but for now Yuri is forced to give her responsibility to Charles to investigate the unfinished case.
