Chapter Index

    Grumble.

    “Geomdungang~”

    Early moning.

    When I returned from training with Rauf, Ronika knew in advance and opened the window.

    Jump there and dive.

    width.

    “Tskchaaa~”

    When I naturally jumped into his arms, he gently hugged me and placed me on his shoulder.

    “Black boy, aren’t you tired?”

    “Sniff.”

    No problem.

    “Lie. You trained all night long.”

    ‘There’s no need to be that tired.’

    “Really?”

    actually… You must be tired.

    Just a moment ago, I was furiously sharing swords with Rauf.

    I didn’t just practice Gyeok-man.

    At Rauf’s request, they clashed their swords without stopping. It was like an extension of what happened earlier, where we split the sword to find out my identity.

    Rauf continued to push me, and I strengthened my body and boosted my morale to take it.

    For over several hours.

    Of course, you can’t help but get tired.

    But that was what I hoped for.

    It was much better than simple physical labor as it depleted stamina much faster. The more you reach your limit and endure, the faster your abilities increase.

    Rauf tested all of his swords and I pointed out any movements that seemed strange.

    The depth of the sword is much higher than mine.

    The guy nodded at my point.

    Win-win training for both sides –

    “Negro, who are you thinking of all of a sudden?”

    Oops.

    Let’s stop thinking.

    I don’t want Rauf’s existence known yet.

    I immediately changed the topic.

    ‘I’m hungry.’

    “Oh! Okay~ Fiona, wake up!~ Let’s eat.”

    With just one word from me, he woke up Fiona, who was sleeping soundly, and during that time, I focused on my mana breathing while draping my arms around her shoulder.

    Since I stayed up all night, it is essential to use this time to recover.

    “Yes… I’m sleepy~ Just 5 minutes.”

    “Fiona! The nigger is hungry.”

    “Woo… to… huh… .”

    As much as I am free after school closures, I am also free to wake up. That’s why Fiona wriggled like a zombie and was dragged out by Ronica’s hand.

    “Let’s go~”

    “Wow… ”

    This morning was full of flavorful bread and soup.

    *

    “Wow~ They’re already leaving.”

    “Yes.”

    After eating breakfast, Ronica and Fiona sat down on the sloping stairs on one side of the training center.

    There were a lot of people at the training center.

    A carriage with family crest decorations.

    Several attendants and knights.

    Cadet reunited with them.

    Instructor seeing off.

    Most of them are people who have left the hospital or came to see them off.

    I guess they are nobles.

    I came with a lot of escorts.

    “Will Rowen come back in two days?~”

    “Ronika will return in two days?”

    “Yes. When will Fiona go?”

    “I… When Ronica goes.”

    “Gasp!? So you were waiting for me?”

    “You can go anytime. I’m staying a little longer next to Ronika because it’s comfortable. The day Ronika leaves is also the day I leave the training center.”

    “Ugh… good! I can’t lose either. If Fiona wants to be by my side, I can take care of her for the rest of her life!”

    “Really?”

    The two started chatting.

    Ronica stole Fiona’s heart by talking about her dream-like romantic life.

    Meanwhile, the cadets at the training center said goodbye to their instructors and left the training center one or two at a time.

    Among them, there was a familiar person.

    “Ronika!~”

    “Myo~”

    Lapis, who was chatting with an attendant in a small carriage, found Ronica sitting on the stairs and ran here.

    Ronika also stopped chatting and looked ahead.

    “Lapis! Are you leaving already?”

    “Yes. I came to say hello! that… And I wanted to say thank you so much for saving me at that time. If it wasn’t for you, I might not be here.”

    “What. You don’t have to like it much. I was just lucky.”

    “No! I will definitely pay you back someday. So let’s meet again in two months in good health.”

    Lapis held out her hand.

    Ronica held his hand.

    “Good! If you are my sister, I am also welcome.”

    After shaking hands for a moment, Lapis turned her attention to where Fiona was.

    Likewise, he held out his hand.

    “Goodbye to you too. Ronica’s friend.”

    “… Yes.”

    “You are very quiet, aren’t you?”

    “Yes.”

    Lapis tilted her head for a moment.

    Looking closely, Fiona’s gaze was focused on Myorin sitting on Lapis’ head.

    Fingers wiggling.

    Mouth slightly open.

    Lapis caught it.

    “Ugh… Myorin!”

    “Myo?”

    Lapis lifted Myorini and held it out to Fiona.

    “Now! I will especially let you touch me too.”

    “Myo?… .”

    That was an excellent decision.

    Fiona jumped up and stretched out her hands as if she wanted to.

    “I want to touch it!!”

    The expressionless expression was broken in an instant.

    Sparkling eyes.

    Mouth in full bloom.

    It’s the first time I’ve seen Fiona’s bright smile.

    The guy checked again with an excited expression.

    “Is it really possible to touch it!?”

    “Huh?… Yes. Since you are close friends with Ronica, I also want to be close friends with you.”

    “Yes! Senior Lapis is my precious friend!!”

    “Huh? already?… .”

    Pot!!

    “What!?”

    Fiona snatched Myorini with invisible speed and held her in her arms.

    The corners of the mouth open further.

    My cheeks turn red.

    Saliva is about to drip.

    The eyes became three times bigger than usual.

    And then, for the first time, he spoke rapidly.

    “Cute white fluffy ears! I crave the soft tail and plump underbelly. Very desirable!! I see myself reflected in the shiny, sparkly eyes!! Jelly soles. Kill the Thick! Appropriate weight!!!”

    “Myo!? Mew!! Myoooong!!!?”

    A very short time.

    Fiona fumbled around Myorini’s whole body. There was a bit of madness in his eyes.

    “Wow. This is my first time seeing Fiona like that.”

    “Oh… I never thought I would like it that much… … .”

    Anyway, Fiona wrapped Myorini in a necklace, put it under her arm, and began to do a strange dance, such as spinning her body around.

    “Myook… music… Muehek… … .”

    Myorin’s eyes turn round.

    However, it didn’t stop.

    “Soft! Very soft!! Very different from the strict nigger!!!!”

    What… .

    Why is that tripping me up?

    The moment I thought that, I made eye contact with Fiona.

    Startle!

    I was the first to avoid eye contact.

    Sparkling eyes mixed with madness.

    That was clearly what it wanted.

    Right me.

    Is it really because of me that I am the way I am now? .

    Did the desire to touch me but not be able to do so build up?

    why?

    Now that I think about it, he often looked at me and wiggled his fingers. In the meantime, Myorin appeared as the perfect prey… .

    “Myohuah!!~”

    Fiona throws Myorini high and catches it.

    He looks happier than ever.

    It is certainly.

    That guy has been hiding his desires all this time.

    If I had allowed my touch… .

    Thank goodness.

    Myorin sacrificed for me.

    “Meung! Boom! Ryuyep!! Wow!! Myook!!!”

    >︎<︎ Fiona, with an expression on her face, raised Myorini up and down and lowered it repeatedly.

    Seeing her so happy, not only Ronica but even Lapis, who is from Jeju Island, could not stop her and just stared blankly.

    “Myomuruk… … .”

    So after a while.

    Myorin withered.

    Fiona held out her limp Myorini with a satisfied look on her face.

    “Lapis senior. The best senior! Is it possible to call you sister?”

    “Uh… Do whatever feels comfortable.”

    “Sister. Lapis is the best!”

    Fiona’s favorability increased by +100.

    Lapis looked at this unusual appearance with a puzzled expression and then giggled.

    “Are you a more interesting friend than I thought? It’s a shame. I’d like to talk more, but I think I have to go now. So, let’s meet in good health in two months.”

    “Sister is always welcome.”

    “And Ronica. Next time, I too will become stronger and help, so look forward to it!”

    “Yes~ Be careful!”

    “Then, see you in two months~”

    Lapis turned around holding Myorin.

    After running to the family home in a carriage, I got on the carriage again, looking at the road and waving.

    One attendant.

    One knight.

    One coachman.

    And even Lapis.

    Four people drove a carriage and left the training center.

    It seemed like an ordinary noble family.

    Then, the discharge procession continued.

    and.

    “… … … .”

    Medis in the distance.

    He glanced at Ronika and got into the carriage without saying a word.

    Is that guy also getting discharged?

    A carriage without any emblems.

    The origin was made unknown.

    Although I couldn’t use the past life skill due to the cooldown, I’ll be able to find out about his past the next time I see him again.

    What are you hiding so tightly?

    Why did Artrot protect him?

    You will find out when the time comes.

    Until then… .

    ‘I guess I’ll have to get Rowen to do it. Find out who Medis is.’

    Venus is an information organization.

    Since he has grown up to a certain extent, it will be okay to tidy up one task. It’s unclear whether the correct information will be found, but… .

    This is something to watch out for in the future.

    Dadada~

    The carriage leaves the training center.

    So today.

    Approximately 50 cadets were discharged.

    *

    “Hmm… .”

    Raiders Duke of Avalon.

    Even among the central aristocrats, he possessed enormous power and groaned in frustration in his office.

    What didn’t work out as planned?

    I look at the documents with an uncomfortable expression.

    [Training center attack incident.]

    It was a document secretly taken as a copy of the report posted by the royal investigation team.

    He read the report slowly.

    [Investigation leader Andras died after being attacked by undead remnants (presumed to be Death Knights). Traces of high-ranking magic and rituals found at the scene of the incident. It is believed that a national disaster-level demon was summoned, but the training director claimed that the damage was minimized as much as possible through quick response. Others, including instructor Croshell, the instigator of the incident, committed regular corruption-]

    To summarize, the contents are as follows.

    The head of the investigation team who followed the aristocratic faction has died.

    The investigation team began a large-scale investigation.

    Other detailed information.

    Raiders’ face became increasingly distorted.

    This causes a lot of problems.

    The issue of leadership in the investigation.

    The problem of training noble warriors.

    Disconnection from the instructors with whom I had interacted.

    Justification for interference or pressure on training centers.

    All of this disappeared at once.

    It was slowly encroached upon, and all the money and effort poured into it was in vain.

    No, if you get caught wrongly in the investigation, you will be in trouble. I did a good job of preventing my son from being kicked out after being caught in the labyrinth corruption, but this time the scale is different.

    A more difficult situation than expected.

    Normally, I should get rid of it right away, but… .

    “That’s strange.”

    Andras’ death.

    A detailed account of the warlock incident.

    Even the response from the training center that day.

    When I was briefed by a separately recruited member of the investigation team, I couldn’t help but frown.

    The person who killed Andras was an undead with enough power to single-handedly subdue a 6-star knight and wizard. But, except for one or two, all the members of the investigation team were merely injured?

    Just by looking at it, it looks suspicious.

    There is something to this incident.

    It is also said that at the end of the warlock incident, an arch lich and a being presumed to be a high-ranking demon were summoned to sacrifice a cadet.

    This too is extremely suspicious.

    No matter how great the training center is, it will be difficult to reduce the damage to this extent. As evidence, it is said that the head of the training center who killed the Arch Lich and the high-ranking demon actually came back in good shape.

    There is a lot of evidence to dismiss it as a lie, but it is also difficult to believe it.

    So, I thought.

    I wonder if another third party may have intervened.

    It was easy to find supporting evidence.

    It is clearly stated in the report.

    Several instructors said that a black-haired man warned them of the incident and rescued those in danger with surprising inaction.

    There is something.

    If you dig in well, it could turn the game upside down.

    I checked the report again.

    [There is unknown external intervention and it is believed to be a friendly entity, but it is on hold due to difficulty in obtaining detailed information. In addition, several cadets made remarkable achievements in killing the warlock. As representative examples, many instructors and cadets mentioned cadets Ronica and Medis. This is what the usual capabilities of the training center are like-]

    “Hmm… .”

    There was very little information wanted.

    There is no way to find out just by looking at this.

    instead… .

    His eyes looked slightly downward.

    The cadet who killed the warlock.

    Ronica.

    Medis.

    Even if there are external beings, what are the cadets who killed the warlock doing?

    The duke’s brow furrowed slightly.

    “Ronika… .”

    Originally I would have just passed it on, but… I thought deeply about a name I heard somewhere.

    Soon, my son’s face came to mind.

    “… It was this guy.”

    Labyrinth corruption case.

    A mysterious incident in which instructors McGuird and Tiana colluded to try to get their son admitted as the top student, but it ended in the instructor’s death.

    This is the name I heard back then.

    Although the incident was covered up, it does not mean that there was no investigation. I was able to know the detailed report because I had it in my hand.

    About a child named Ronika, who took third place in the labyrinth test with her son’s badge.

    I had a lot on my mind back then too.

    How did the instructor die?

    Why did he have his son’s badge?

    Of course, we investigated Ronika separately.

    But there were no major differences.

    3-star prosecutor.

    From a rural commoner.

    That was it.

    I saw that Hysterion was the guardian, but that had nothing to do with the case. Because he didn’t interfere with the training camp.

    In the end, I had no choice but to send my son to another reputable academy and ignore the incident.

    But what?

    That kid killed the warlock?

    At the bottom of the report, it even says that he is a 5-star talent who has shown outstanding inaction.

    It is said that he stabbed and killed an enemy without hesitation, saved other cadets, and led a group of dozens of people with a calm appearance that was not childlike.

    A commoner child who was only 3 stars?

    Isn’t it strange?

    Unless you hide your power.

    If so, past events are revisited.

    How could a child named Ronica hold her son’s badge when the instructor was dead?

    if… What if that kid did it?

    “I think we need to investigate.”

    Did you say he was a commoner?

    It’s annoying that Hysterion is the sponsor, but I wouldn’t be too concerned about a child like this.

    No, maybe he sponsored it because he was hiding a great talent.

    He immediately called his deputy.

    “Adderic.”

    “Yes.”

    “I have one thing to do.”

    “Please specify.”

    “There is a child named Ronika at the training center. Now that school is closed, secretly kidnap the child when he or she leaves. Deploy at least 10 5-star personnel.“

    “Yes? Is it really necessary to go to such lengths to kidnap a child?

    “He is a child with many secrets. Don’t let down your guard and be thorough. So that no one knows.”

    “Okay.”

    He ordered Ronika’s kidnapping.

    No matter how big your back is, they won’t give you an escort when you leave the training camp.

    At most, one or two attendants would be all that was needed.

    It’s not difficult to steal it secretly.

    If you do well, you will be able to avenge your son and find out the full story of the incident.

    After that… .

    Either coax or torture.

    It wouldn’t be a task to roast and boil even a child.
