| The Special Steel Squad was now heading deep into one of the remote mountains of Nishiki. The place is quite remote and there are no peddlers or even travellers. Special training is what they are going to do in such a place. | ||
| This was not a game by any means, but perhaps due to the fact that this is not a mission, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. | ||
 Shiyan |
"Woooh~ starting to feel a pleasant atmosphere now! I knew a training camp would be like a mountain retreat!" | |
|---|---|---|
| Shiyan |
"Finally, we'll be free from studying and work. I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for this day!" | |
 Tianjin |
"You are more energetic than ever today, do you prefer the mountains to the city, Shiyan?" | |
| Shiyan |
"Of course I do! I can run as fast as I want or even shout at the top of my lungs, nobody's gonna complain about it!" | |
| Shiyan |
"Aaah, this place here reminds me of the Wudang Mountains." | |
| Shiyan |
"It was in forests like this when I was trained by my daoshi lao-ye. He made me run blindfolded, told me to 'go hiking'. Thought I was going to die at the time..." | |
| Shiyan mutters sullenly with a distant look in her eyes. She is born from the Wudang Mountains, deep in Eisengrad. It is a place where the frequency of Phantom Mist outbreaks is extremely high, and it is called Hell on the surface, as it is difficult to live there. | ||
| Shiyan lost her parents at an early age in these mountains, and in order to survive, she desperately learnt martial arts and eventually gained enough strength to survive on her own. She then went out into the outside world in search of strong opponents as a martial artist. | ||
| Is it because that there are so many strong people in the Special Steel Squad that she decided to join? | ||
| Shiyan |
"When I left on my journey, lao-ye told me to 'look for a girl named Xiaolong'. He told me that defeating her would open the door to the 'outside world'. So that was the purpose of my journey." | |
| Shiyan |
"So first I looked for the 'Secret Base' where Xiaolong was said to be, but I didn't find Xiaolong there, so I found my next clue and joined the Eisengrad Army." | |
| Shiyan |
"From there I joined the army and found myself in the SSS." | |
| Shiyan |
"But I was surprised. Because Xiaolong's in the SSS!" | |
| Conductor |
Huh, what a coincidence. But... 'Xiaolong' of the 'Secret Base' sounds familiar, like something I've heard somewhere... | |
| Tianjin |
"'Xiaolong' meaning me, right, Conductor?♪" | |
| Tianjin |
"That was my name before bo-shi gave me the name 'Tianjin', and that was a name I miss very much now." | |
| The 'Bo-shi' who Tianjin referred to is Beijing. Come to think of it, there was also a remark about Xiaolong in her enlistment documents. | ||
| Tianjin |
"Xiaolong is the name I was given by the elder of the Secret Base where I lived once upon a time - 'Lao-Ye' as Shiyan calls him." | |
| Tianjin |
"Our elder suddenly disappeared from the 'Secret Base' one day and I haven't been able to track him down since... I was surprised to find that he had gone to Wudang." | |
| Tianjin |
"So our elder was a Wudang daoshi. No wonder he is so strong." | |
| Shiyan |
"I don't know how true that is either, but I think it's better to take it half seriously because of what that lao-ye says." | |
| Tianjin |
"I know what you mean! It was like that in the Secret Base too." | |
| Shiyan |
"But it was true that there was a strong girl called Xiaolong, and it was worth leaving Wudang to meet you." | |
| Shiyan |
"In this training camp, I, Xiaolong - no, Tianjin, will prove that I'm stronger than you!" | |
| Tianjin |
"Well, I'll accept your challenge, Shiyan." | |
| Shiyan and Tianjin exchanged wry smiles. Well, it's fine for rivals to try to enhance each other's strength, but I'd like to make one thing clear here. The two of you, you know the purpose of this training camp, right? | ||
| Shiyan |
"Isn't it all about getting stronger and stronger?" | |
| Tianjin |
"It's to be able to protect Bo-shi at any time." | |
| No, it's not-- Just as I was about to say this, Victoria, who had been walking silently beside me up to this point, opened her mouth. | ||
 Victoria |
"No, no, you two. The only reason we are going to the training camp is to become respectable Train Knights." | |
| Victoria |
"It's not merely about strength and power. It's about being aware that we will always be seen and behaving in the correct way, being the people's hope." | |
| Conductor |
Oh Victoria, you sure know what I mean. | |
| Victoria |
"This requires hard training. By being pushed to the limits, we will gain the strength to protect others and improve ourselves as Train Knights." | |
| Tianjin |
"Ain't that the same thing we were saying?" | |
| Shiyan |
"Yeah. After all, intense training makes you more powerful! Isn't that what you're saying?" | |
| Victoria |
"....." | |
| Victoria |
"Yes, we are the same, the three of us will become stronger together so that we can protect those we care about." | |
| Victoria |
"Aaah, Milady Paddington, I'll be back in fine fettle in no time, please wait for me..." | |
| Conductor |
Wait, wait, wait, you were right halfway through, how did this happen? | |
| Shiyan |
"Aw, come on, Conductor. Don't be so formal." | |
| The purpose of this training camp, was actually to make Shiyan, Tianjin and Victoria to change their daily life discipline. | ||
| Not only did the three of them violated the rules of running along the corridors, but they also destroyed buildings with excessive force, slept in every classroom lesson, and held tournaments of mock sparring sessions, they are too footloose. | ||
| Finchley, in her true spirit as the Demon Instructor, scolded the girls each and every time, but it seemed that her words had no effect on them and there was no improvement in their behaviour. Finally, Finchley cried out to Ohana. | ||
| Tianjin |
"Oh, by the way, I thought Ohana said she was coming too?" | |
| Victoria |
"Well, I think she's already finished her preparations at the camp." | |
| Shiyan |
"Oi oi, we can train in the mountains and eat Ohana's food! Sweet~ that's just great!" | |
| Hearing that Ohana is here, eyes of the three lit up with joy. As I thought, they don't understand the purpose of the training camp. They also don't realize the intention of having Ohana as their instructor this time. Now, I wonder what will happen... | ||
