Chapter 207 Wind Sylph

Hearing her explanation, the boy understood how it worked, He said, "At least there is some advantage of having a small team even though they can carry less stuff than a big team.

However, no one would be stupid enough to make a team with less than five members as other school teams would want to snatch or seize their battle points by force. So having a bigger team or corporation of more than one team will help to avoid those situations."

"Yeah, and the person with the highest battle points will be declared the winner for the national military school tournament which will be independent of team ranking.

In case we are not able to get enough points to get you in the top ten I will send all of my battle points to you." Nyla said, gazing lovingly at the crimson-haired boy.

He saw her affection-filled gaze that was full of love towards him, he sighed at her insanely crazy love for him.

"Let's hope we don't end up in that situation," Rio said with a bittersweet smile, he didn't want to get a higher rank in this tournament using the Magenta-haired beauty's battle points although he knew she could even sacrifice herself for him.

As they continued to go deeper into the forest, they came across more Purple Pit Rats which Rio easily take care of using his silver-bloom king sword.

After thirty minutes of traveling, he halted his steps, gazing up at the sky he narrowed his eyes.

His attention had been drawn towards a slight movement in the sky, barely visible to the naked eye.

As he continued to stare, the movement began to take form. It was a round object of thumb size with fine transparent wings that were fluttering and flapping in the air. It was hard to tell what it was at first, but as it got closer, Rio could make out the shape of what appeared to be a tiny dragonfly.

Nyla observed Rio's intense gaze and subsequently traced the trajectory of his line of sight. Upon her encounter with the dragonfly-like object, her eyes widened in sheer astonishment. The minute creature hovered at an insurmountable distance that would only become perceptible to an individual's acute perception.

"What is that?" she asked, her voice filled with curiosity.

Rio was able to notice it easily using his [Heaven's Eyes].

Just as the boy saw it coming in their direction, without hesitation, he grabbed Nyla's hand and pulled her behind a nearby tree.

Her heart was pounding in her chest as she was pressed close to Rio's body. Rio's [Heaven's Eyes] continued to scan the aerial unknown object, searching for any clue he could find.

Nyla's breath caught in her throat as she saw the intensity on Rio's face. She knew that he would have a good reason for pulling her behind the tree, but she couldn't help feeling a sense of awe at his tracking ability to discover the danger that she wasn't even aware of.

As they waited for the device to pass, Rio's eyes remained locked on it, tracking its movements and noting any details that he could. He also used his [Heaven's Eyes to inspect the flying item that was bugging him.

[Name: Wind Sylph]

[Type: AI Device]

~ It is an advanced AI-built object by humans to monitor the students on the island without their knowledge during the national military school tournament. Wild Slyph is a state-of-the-art surveillance system that keeps a watchful eye on every corner of the island. The government has kept its existence a secret from the public, and it is rumored to be used for tracking and evaluating the student's progress.

The WindSylph is equipped with numerous sensors that allow it to detect the slightest movements and sounds. It is designed to blend in with the environment, so students are unaware of its presence. The WindSylph is numerous in number and can be found flying around the island most of the time.

"What happened, Rio?" Nyla's voice sounded as the boy was inspecting the foreign item.

"Do you know about that Wind Slpyh item we saw?" He asked, pointing towards the sky towards the flying object which was going in another direction.

She widened her eyes and asked in surprise, "The flying thing we saw was Wind Slyph?"

Rio saw the Wind Sylph had passed away, and he released his hold on Nyla, letting go of her by withdrawing his hands and nodding his head.

She stepped back, feeling a sense of relief mixed with admiration for the boy beside her but his affirmation made her recall the information.

Her brows scrunched up and she said in a serious tone, "I have heard about the Wind Slyph that government uses this AI device for some hidden purpose but didn't know they were using it in the national military school tournament. How did you discover it from our place?"

The girl was surprisingly looking at Rio as if she hadn't known him much.

"Innate skill," Rio responded

"Ah... We should hide faces or they will start monitoring us more than others for being from the Seven Silver Sword Family if they find out where we are," Nyla said, spreading her palm with a vibrant smile.

Rio turned his attention to the Magenta-haired beauty's hand, curious about what she was going to bring out.

Soon, two masquerade masks of a rich purple color appeared which had intricate designs adorning the upper half of the face. It was clear that Nyla had put some thought into her favorite color when she thought of choosing these masks.

Noticing his puzzled eyes staring at her, the girl said, "I got it when I went out shopping with Big sis and sister Helia."

Holding the mask up to her face to equip, she continued, "It's perfect for a party, but I think it'll do a great job at covering our faces too."
