Chapter 186: Similarities Between FrostNova and the Doctor
Early in the morning,
"Be careful on your way."
Kevin wiped the cup in his hand and reminded Fiammetta as she headed out.
Gou Wu hadn't been very peaceful lately, though... it probably wouldn't affect her anyway.
"Okay."
Pozëmka responded sweetly, then, ignoring the foam on Kevin's apron, hugged him and gave him a fragrant kiss.
"Eww~"
W held a dumpling with her chopsticks, unsure whether to eat it or not.
She was full—full of dog food.
"W, remember to eat properly."
"I'm not a child."
She rolled her eyes. Three large bowls per meal, each meal different—W, who had experienced hunger, couldn't bear to let her stomach stay empty.
"Remember to come to the training ground after eating."
After seeing Pozëmka off, Kevin took off his apron and glanced at her.
W's face instantly turned bitter. Another day of hellish training was about to begin. No way—she had to eat more now.
I'll eat, I'll eat, I'll freaking eat!
What? Would eating too much cause stomach pain during the fight later?
That would be underestimating the Sarkaz physique.
Besides, if you get hit by Boss Kevin's fist, it doesn't matter whether your stomach is full or not.
You'll vomit something out either way.
Tap, tap.
While W was still eating, Kevin walked out of the yard but didn't immediately pick up the greatsword from the weapon rack.
Instead, he calmed his mind and focused on doing something else.
——————
"Hello? Teacher, am I disturbing you?"
Walking on the muddy wetlands, FrostNova was clearly somewhat uncomfortable with the damp atmosphere.
"No."
But the voice that came from her mind still made her smile happily.
"That's good. We've arrived in Iberia now."
She didn't know why Kal'tsit insisted on stopping here.
FrostNova couldn't figure it out.
Not just her—Outcast had also been sent out to carry out the mission with her.
Tsk, the Deep Sea Church—she had heard that name quite a bit these past few days.
Of course, it was infamous.
The news on Rhodes Island wasn'tcut off. Thanks to Amiya and Vina, Rhodes Island had received a large sum of funds from Victoria.
They increased the number of medical points set up in various Nomadic Cities.
This also formed a sufficiently vast information network.
At least after that, FrostNova could clearly sense that the Doctor had relaxed a lot.
"Iberia?"
Kevin didn't mind diverting his attention to chat with his student. After all, bullying W with one hand or one finger made no essential difference.
Rather, if she could truly "defeat" him while he was distracted, she would be fully qualified to graduate.
"It's a coastal country. It looks... a bit poor?"
At least it couldn't compare to large Nomadic Cities like Gou Wu or Londinium.
FrostNova wasn't very clear about the specific situation of this country either and could only make judgments based on the scenery she saw around her.
"It wasn't like this before."
Outcast was happy to tell the younger generation more. She rarely went on missions nowadays.
Who knew when she might retire? The lifespan of a Sankta was ultimately limited.
If an old thing like her died, so be it—she was just afraid of dragging down the young ones.
"Laterano has relevant records. In the past, Iberia was an undisputed 'Golden Nation.' If you had seen photos of that massive fleet with your own eyes, no one could fail to marvel at the strength of its technology."
Outcast had already held a high position before joining Rhodes Island.
She knew many little-known secrets. In fact, even present-day Iberia might not have thehistorical records and photos that Laterano possessed.
"But..."
FrostNova hesitated as she looked at the village in the distance, unable to help but doubt.
These mud-brick houses, even the towns they had stopped at before—all exuded an aura of poverty.
How could suchshabby appearances have even half the prosperity of the "Golden Nation" Outcast described?
"Hehe, you want to ask why this place looks so poor, right?"
She was used to FrostNova's reaction.
"That's because they once suffered a disaster—the 'Great Silence.'"
As they chatted, the two were almost at the village entrance.
"Great Silence?"
"It was probably a disaster caused by the Seaborn. Unfortunately, Laterano doesn't have many records about it. But the Deep Sea Church we're investigating this time happens to be related to the Seaborn."
Outcast spread her hands and added an explanation.
Seaborn? Deep Sea Church?
Through the white rabbit's perspective, Kevin also heard everything she said.
He was quite interested in this topic. Their movements in Gou Wu werenot small—after all, they had even attacked his home.
"So that's how it is."
FrostNova nodded somewhat understandingly. Anyway, those Deep Sea Church folks were definitely not good people.
"Mind if I accompany you?"
It wouldn't hurt to divert some attention and take a walk. The Seaborn—that boy he saw in Dossoles back then had an aura very similar to theirs.
Kevin finally remembered when he first came into contact with this thing.
"Huh?"
FrostNova exclaimed in surprise, drawing Outcast's strange gaze. She had felt FrostNova was distracted earlier.
It wasn't really her fault for being flustered—the surprise was just too sudden.
"Teacher, are you coming?"
"Not my real body, just a materialized projection."
That was more than enough. At least he had never encountered an enemy worthy of his full strength yet.
"Oh, of course I don't mind... Um, should I ask the Doctor and Outcast for their opinions?"
"Mhm."
After all, she was now considered a Rhodes Island operator. The Doctor didn't like factors outside the plan.
Kevin understood.
......
"Are you an idiot? You have to seize good opportunities yourself, FrostNova. If Ace and the others found out you hesitated when Kevin offered help, I'm afraidlye water would be added to the cafeteria menu."
"Or is this thegenerosity ofteacher-student relationship?"
Perhaps because they were talking about Kevin-related topics, the Doctor became much more talkative and even had the mood to tease her.
Somewhat awkwardly turning off her earpiece, FrostNova knew she had done something unnecessary.
She should have realized earlier—given the Doctor's blind obedience to Kevin, asking or not asking seemed to make no difference.
There would only be one answer.
"So what are you still waiting for?"
Outcast joked.
How could you hesitate when it comes toclinging to a powerful ally?
"Teacher, it's fine."
Almost the moment FrostNova's thought settled, a man in casual clothes appeared between the two of them.
Kevin opened his eyes and nodded at FrostNova and Outcast.
"Long time no see."
He then looked at his surroundings and his own clothes.
Sensing that his attire might not be very appropriate for the occasion, a flash of blue light passed by.
The long-unseen Fire Moth combat suit reappeared on him. After adjusting his tactical gloves slightly, he asked the two silent women:
"What's wrong?"
"No, long time no see."
OutcastIt's rare took off her hat and greeted him.
"Me too, Teacher."
FrostNova smiled happily. None of thatcalm attitude she showed toward others—or rather, thatindifferent attitude—could be seen now.
In some ways, she was actually quite similar to the Doctor.
