Her expression did not explode with anger. Instead, her lips curved into a small smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached up and stretched her neck from side to side. A faint crack sounded as her muscles loosened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So,\" she continued casually, \"this is the one leading the pirates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara nodded. \"Looks like it. Eliza tracked their movements for two weeks. She heard the name ’Draconia’ from the pirates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s eyes sharpened slightly. She walked past Clara toward the open doors of the gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For them to send someone personally...\" she muttered. \"That’s bold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara stepped beside her and leaned against the doorframe. \"Or desperate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia let out a small chuckle. \"Desperate suits them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rolled her shoulders once, her dragon aura flickering faintly around her for a second before she suppressed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara tilted her head. \"So what do you want to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia turned back, crossing her arms. \"Wait for me to prepare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smirk widened slightly. \"This will be a fun journey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, one of the recruits whispered nervously, \"Senior Sister looks scary when she smiles like that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia glanced back at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You three,\" she said firmly. \"Double your sets. If I come back and you’re still weak, I’ll personally train you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recruits straightened immediately. \"Yes, Senior Sister!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara grinned. \"Thought you’d say that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pushed herself off the frame and stood properly. \"I’ll go inform Eliza. We’ll prepare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia raised a brow. \"Only the three of us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara blinked like the answer was obvious. \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed lightly at Dahlia’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fewer people we bring, the more we can actually fight. If we take a squad, they’ll just watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grin widened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t think we’ll lose, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia laughed once. It wasn’t loud, but it carried confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cracked her knuckles slowly, one hand at a time. \"If it’s really someone from Draconia...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes narrowed slightly, not in anger, but in focus. \"Then I’ll handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then looked at Clara. \"Tell Eliza to prepare scouting routes. No direct charge until I say so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara gave a mock salute. \"Yes, Senior Sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stepped forward toward the exit. \"Let’s go, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel was standing beside a large table covered in scrolls and island maps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arvella stood across from her, pointing at several marked routes near the outer sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll need to rotate patrol shifts here,\" Arvella said calmly. \"Traffic from the western trade lane has increased.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel nodded gently. \"Then assign two more squads from the morning batch. Make sure they rest properly afterward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arvella adjusted the scroll slightly. \"Understood. I’ll also tighten inspection near the docks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Rachel could respond, the door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia walked in without hesitation. Her steps were steady, and her expression carried a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel looked up immediately. \"What’s the problem, Dahlia?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia placed one hand on her hip. \"Elder Rachel, I wanted to ask for permission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel blinked once. \"Permission?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head slightly. \"It’s not like you to suddenly ask for permission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arvella glanced between them but stayed silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia gave a small shrug. \"It’s not serious. I just want to attack a pirate base.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s brows lifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia continued calmly, \"From what I know, there’s someone from Draconia there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room grew a little quieter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel looked at Dahlia carefully. \"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She folded her hands in front of her. \"No wonder you asked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s smile widened a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So,\" Rachel said softly, \"you want to destroy the pirate base and, at the same time, enjoy destroying someone from Draconia?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia didn’t deny it. \"You could say that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arvella let out a quiet breath but didn’t interrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel studied Dahlia for a few seconds and then smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you taking with you?\" Rachel asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clara and Eliza,\" Dahlia replied. \"Small team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel nodded slowly. \"Discreet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel smiled gently. \"Alright. You may go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia blinked in surprise. \"Wow. You’re allowing me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s smile deepened slightly. \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked closer and placed a hand lightly on Dahlia’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are pirates. They should be destroyed whether they are from Draconia or not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone remained warm, but her eyes sharpened slightly. \"And if Draconia dares to escalate...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arvella’s gaze turned steady as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s voice became clearer. \"God Gym is more than ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia felt a faint pulse of golden warmth as Rachel activated[Radiant Love]briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember what Garion said,\" Rachel continued calmly. \"If anyone dares to provoke us...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave Dahlia a firm look. \"He will always support us in striking back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s smirk returned. \"Then I’ll make sure it’s worth supporting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful,\" she added. \"Not because you are weak. But because you are important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded once. \"I’ll be back soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned and walked out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arvella looked at Rachel quietly after the door closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not worried?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s smile softened again. \"I am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her eyes back to the map spread across the table. Her fingers rested lightly near the marked pirate routes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I am more worried about the ones on the other side,\" she continued gently, \"because Dahlia has become very strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arvella raised a brow slightly. \"That confident?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel gave a small nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve seen her training lately,\" she said. \"Even without fully releasing her dragon power, she’s overwhelming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder,\" Rachel added softly, \"if they can even survive being her punching bag.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arvella stared at her for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That poor Draconia member,\" she said calmly. \"He probably thinks he’s hunting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s lips curved slightly. \"He doesn’t know he’s the one being hunted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arvella let out a quiet sigh and began rolling up one of the scrolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should we prepare reinforcement just in case?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel shook her head gently. \"Not yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She folded the map carefully. \"If Dahlia needs help, she’ll say so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no doubt in her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>",1043,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.543Z",1,"novelbin.me","8ac6d54b1d3328184f5faed2a05f86a3c6aabb9b3e7065583e14ec696a3b655a","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-418","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-73",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
