“What does that mean?”

“I can’t tell you the details, but… Oh, no. Just pretend you didn’t hear my story. I also ask you to keep it a secret from me as much as possible.”

“Huh?”

He suddenly sat up from his seat and shut his mouth.

Angelica got up in a panic and tried to grab him, but she couldn’t.

This was because I had a feeling that the reason Dallot stopped talking was because of the approach of Huey, another of Adrian’s escort knights.

The intruder approached and opened his mouth.

“What are you two doing here?”

“Hey, where have you been? I haven’t seen you all morning.”

“Yes, senior. Adrian asked me to do something else. But I finished it all. I have free time now.”

“Really? Then let’s go find a gardener together.”

“Oh, I understand.”

Angelica sat back down in her chair, listening to the conversation between the two.

And I thought about what Dalot had said.

‘It’s dangerous…?’

I know the general idea.

When a man and a woman sleep together, they start off talking about trivial things and end up talking about deep things that they wouldn’t easily tell others.

Adrian Floyd is hated by many and has many enemies around him.

Angelica herself was one of those people.

There were also rumors that he was involved in the princess assault incident or that he was caught in the middle of a political factional fight over the next throne.

So, I’m also telling you to be careful because you never know when or where you might be surprised.

The story of him suddenly asking to be taught how to use a sword in order to protect himself is also related to this.

He knows better than anyone else that he is in a dangerous position, and he confides in me about it.

I don’t know if it’s all true or if there’s some lies mixed in.

But I heard Dalot’s words a little while ago.

As an escort, he would have some, if not all, knowledge of Adrian Floyd’s plight.

If you were so incompetent that you didn’t even know that, you wouldn’t have been able to become a royal knight in the first place.

It is a statement made with great care by such a person.

Adrian’s side is dangerous.

‘Is something… about to begin?’

Why did you stay quiet all this time and then suddenly approach me today and say this to me?

I understand that Count Wind Knights was your savior, and he gave you this advice as his bloodline.

But isn’t he actually Adrian Floyd’s escort?

It should have been him, not me, who had to tell this story first.

That is the duty and responsibility of the escorted person.

‘No way… betrayal?’

No, that can’t be true.

If he had been planning to betray me in the first place, he would not have told me this story.

It’s impossible for the escort who’s always by your side not to know that you’re already sleeping together.

“Sigh…”

I don’t know.

My head was in a state of confusion.

Who cares about whom now?

Isn’t it true that the one who is in a hurry is not the man but herself?

The tremendous firepower that instantly melted the hideous, gigantic monster seen in the basement of the abandoned fortress.

Magic may be like that, but I don’t remember ever seeing magic of that level in my lifetime.

In a word, it was shocking.

Angelica thought.

Even if I regain my magical powers, will I be able to become stronger than that man?

Suddenly, that thought occurred to me.

Even now, he is growing stronger like a monster day by day…

‘But I guess I should say something…?’

I still don’t completely trust the guy.

He just endures each day, hiding his doubts and anxiety, because it is the only option he has to regain his lost magic power.

But I don’t know how long this patience will last.

‘There’s… no time.’

The day will soon come again when you will be faced with a choice.

Will that day come sooner, or will Adrian regain his powers sooner?

Angelica sighed again, looking at the branches of the garden trees that had grown unmanaged and spread out in an unruly manner.

‘Nonsense… no way…’

‘Is this the skill of Instructor Adrian Floyd, whom everyone ignored and cursed at?’

Jessica and Konita, who were sitting in a corner and blankly watching the battle, could not close their gaping mouths.

Because it was so shocking.

It was a sight so incredible that I couldn’t believe it even though I was watching it with my own two eyes.

Why are you so strong?

He is neither a knight nor a wizard.

Were enchanters originally that strong?

They realized that they had been making a big mistake.

I realized that I had made a huge mistake, as the position of court tutor was not for everyone.

‘I can’t even touch that strong pink hair…’

‘To think that he could defeat four people to this extent on his own.’

If I told my classmates what I just saw, would they believe me?

The minds of the two people became very complicated.

The guys they thought were trash were much stronger than them, and the instructor’s skills, who treated them like trash and poured all kinds of criticism on them, were astounding.

How should I accept this unrealistic situation?

Also, what on earth should I report to Instructor Karlstein, whom I respect so much?

“Ugh…”

“Gasp… Huh… Huh…”

“……”

The two people remained so shocked for a moment.

Soon, the four trainees all fell to the floor, making a death-sounding sound.

And then I couldn’t get up again.

“Is that the end? Is this all there is?”

Adrian Floyd stood tall and looked down at the four fallen men.

Watching him, I would normally have an expression on my face like I was seeing a maggot, but not anymore.

At first glance, he appears to be a cold-blooded murderer, but he is a professional who never loses his cool throughout the battle.

The cold, venomous words that seemed like they could kill the other person with just words were packaged as the image of a true teacher trying to instill a sense of caution and enlighten the arrogant disciples, and were engraved in the minds of the two people.

‘And this is…’

Jessica’s hands were trembling as she held the empty bottle of high-quality potion.

Is this something that costs a penny or two?

Even though she is a collateral member of the Baron family, she rarely gets to see this high-quality potion because she cannot afford the cost.

How can you give away something so precious so easily?

Any other instructor would have just thrown down a low-level potion and left it alone until a healer arrived.

Instructor Karlstein, who was kind to his students, would not have been much different.

‘Do they really give you something like this every day?’

I heard that this training has been going on for several days already.

Every time, it ends with my body torn and broken here and there, and I am left with a lot of bruises.

The reason why those guys became fine overnight and were able to repeat the same training again was because of this high-grade potion.

‘I’ve heard rumors that the Floyd family is incredibly wealthy… but I never thought it would be this much…’

It was truly shocking.

I was as surprised as I was to see Instructor Floyd’s skills in person.

And then, for once, an emotion that I had never even jokingly imagined began to sprout.

‘If I learn from that person… will I be able to become stronger?’

‘I get a high-quality potion every day…’

The feeling was no different.

A very familiar feeling, one I have felt many times before.

But I never dreamed that the target would be those guys.

I never thought I’d feel this way about the guys in the last class.

‘i envy you…’

* * *

“Ugh…”

With the power out, he was barely able to move, and was the only one left.

Only the pink-haired Ainel Shukriad trainee managed to get up from her seat, supporting her knees with both hands.

His legs were shaking like a newborn calf, and his body was covered in more black bruises than bloodstains.

It’s because I got stabbed here and there with a stick.

“Oh, you want more?”

Ainel shook her head weakly.

The throat was never attacked, but it was so torn that I thought the corpse was talking.

“No…I’m sorry. I’m sorry…”

“Then what?”

The guy slowly raised his head, looked into my eyes, and bowed at a 90-degree angle as he greeted me.

“Thank you for the good teachings…”

After saying those words, he sat down on the floor again and exhaled with difficulty.

Now it seemed like he didn’t even have the strength to stand up.

‘hmm…’

He turned his head slightly and looked at the audience.

Everyone’s gazes at me are not ordinary.

‘Those fucking spies. They’re so persistent.’

In this situation, it seemed like he was going to give additional beatings to the guys lying on the ground.

I can’t help it, but this is the limit for today.

In the end, I couldn’t reveal the guys’ identities today either.

It’s my defeat.

I turned around bitterly, took out the potion I was holding, and threw it on the floor as I said.

“Your bare-handed combat training ends today. Starting tomorrow, we will begin combat training using the weapons you have been wanting so badly. You better be prepared. Using weapons won’t end with just getting bruised. ”

This concludes today’s training.

“What are you looking at so stupidly? Don’t just sit there and tell me what you think. Jessica. And Konita. ”

Although the one goal of targeting spies was not achieved, what happened to the reputation work?

I asked two people what they thought of observing my class.

“That’s…”

“It’s okay. Tell me honestly what you feel without holding back.”

The initial confidence was nowhere to be seen, and only the two girls were left with blushing faces in embarrassment.

“Honestly, I was surprised.”

“That’s the unit price?”

“Yes… For now…”

“Konita. You have nothing to say?”

“Oh, it was so amazing…”

These kids are not only incompetent, but they also don’t know how to praise others properly.

I was about to ask how he compares to Instructor Karlstein, but I held back.

“Then let’s disperse. Since we finished early today, use the remaining time to train your body after you recover.”

“……”

“No answer!?”

“Yes…”

“I will…”

I walked away without looking back.

Someone quickly ran over and caught me.

Jessica and Konita were hurt in their pride after getting beaten up by the guys in our class today.

“Excuse me, Instructor!”

“What?”

“Well… If we receive training from the instructor, will we be able to become stronger?”

The cheeks of the two women looking up at me were still flushed.

But the eyes, of all the ones I’ve seen today, seemed to sparkle the most transparently.

When I asked why he was saying this now, he said that he was saying things that he couldn’t say in front of other guys because of his pride.

“But is that okay? You guys have a separate instructor in charge, right?”

“That’s…actually…”

I smiled sinisterly to myself.

Things are starting to get really interesting.
