Their treasure robbery group stretches as far as Liyue and as close as Mondstadt.
They have ventured into the ruins of Fenglong and explored the snowy mountains.
When have they ever been afraid?
But today, while exploring the Temple of the Thousand Winds, they were caught!
How could this happen?
Where is their dignity now?
"Yes... a member of the Knights!!"
A younger member of the treasure thieves was suddenly startled.
He looked ahead and saw **Noelle**, dressed in her rose-colored uniform, and recognized her instantly.
"Noelle? Is that the maid of the Knights?"
"Hahahaha, big mouth, you're actually afraid of a maid? You're really pathetic!"
"That's right, just a maid and a girl—are you really scared?"
"Big mouth, you're so cowardly, you better stop messing around with us!"
Several members of the treasure robbery group laughed loudly.
But **Dazui** (Big Mouth) was genuinely scared!
Although **Noelle** was a maid of the Knights, she hadn't joined the Knights officially due to her personality.
It wasn't because of a lack of fighting ability!
"Master **Noelle**, I-I'll leave immediately. This has nothing to do with me!!!"
In a blink, **Dazui** was kicked by the leader of the treasure robbery group.
"Hey! You worthless coward! Afraid of two girls, and you're still hanging around with us!"
"That's right, this is the Temple of the Thousand Winds—do they still dare to do anything here?"
Yes, this was the Temple of the Thousand Winds.
A monument of Mondstadt!
They couldn't do anything here!
And it seemed like there were no other members of the Zephyr Knights nearby, so why should they be afraid?
"Boss!"
At that moment, the conversation stopped as the other members of the treasure robbery group, who were standing guard, rushed over from a distance.
"Explain!"
"Boss, I checked the area. There are no members of the Knights here. The nearest patrol is a few kilometers away!"
"In other words, if something happens to us here..."
"Yes, boss, the Knights won't be able to make it here in time!"
Upon hearing this, the entire treasure robbery group stood up in unison.
Since the Knights weren't around...
Well then!
These two little girls wanted to take something from them?
Is that possible?
"Hmph! **Dazui**, did you hear that? The members of the Knights are not here!"
"So, the golden age of our treasure robbery group has arrived!"
"Beat these two girls and take all their loot!"
The treasure robbers became as arrogant as ever.
They didn't take **Noelle** seriously at all.
And they certainly didn't care about the little girl, **Irene**.
This was Irene's entrance exam, and **Noelle** had no intention of interfering.
But after hearing the treasure robbers' remarks, **Noelle** couldn't hold herself back!
**Click!**
**Kaka!** **Click!**
A strange sound echoed beneath **Noelle**'s uniform.
**Irene**, standing next to her, glared at the treasure robbers, her displeasure evident.
This group of treasure robbers had caused trouble in Mondstadt before.
They hadn't done many good deeds, but they'd certainly committed plenty of bad ones.
Even the Adventurers' Guild had issued missions to deal with them.
Some adventurers had been robbed by them.
So, there was no need to hold back.
**"Human spirit is born with eight schools!"**
"Hold the universe within the body, gather strength, the beginning of the eight gates is to open the gate..."
**Irene** felt a powerful force inside her body breaking through her meridians.
Then, the energy gathered around her, especially in her feet and fists, amplifying her strength.
**"Eight Gates Dunjia!"**
"Open the door, open!"
In the original **Eight Gates Dunjia**, the purpose of opening the gates was to release the restrictions of the brain, allowing the body to exert 100% of its potential!
This increase in attack speed comes at the cost of significant energy depletion.
But in this version, modified from the anime, it doesn't place too much strain on the body.
At most, after the battle, she would need to replenish her energy with food.
Such abilities were gained by these two girls, and it would certainly surprise those knights!
In an instant, if you could see the **BUFF** above **Irene**'s head, you'd notice her speed and combat power had increased by 100%!
Meanwhile, some unaware little thieves set their sights on **Noelle**.
This wasn't just **Irene**'s exam anymore!
It forced **Noelle** to take action seriously.
On the other side, **Irene** moved quickly, jumping and diving directly toward the boss of the treasure robbers!
**Boom!**
The ground cracked open!
The boss stared blankly at the cracks in the earth and the furious **Irene** standing in front of him!
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.
Something was wrong!
His blood seemed to freeze.
In just a few seconds, eight or nine of his men were thrown to the ground!
**Noelle**, on the other hand, drew her novice sword and held it firmly against her subordinates, staring at them coldly.
"Look at me, you bastards!"
