Fiora supported Ilios, who had a gloomy expression, and quietly left the training grounds.

“Huh.”

Was being confident actually poisonous?

I’ve hit him hundreds of times, but I don’t remember ever hitting him with a fatal blow.

Because they were all bounced off that damn flash of light.

So, it probably didn’t take much damage, but it ended up like that just because of mana depletion.

Become a boy.

I don’t know, but it’s probably more out of pride than pain.

You must have been living a long life as the leader of a group, so it must be painful.

Especially after this more than now.

I watch for a while until the tail-twisting bastards completely disappear from sight, then look away again.

The disciples who made eye contact with me flinched and avoided eye contact.

“Hey.”

“……”

“Siena. Come here.”

“That… That’s… That’s right, Instructor. I didn’t call you here with this intention. Really.”

Who messed with you?

Quite the opposite.

I waited for him with my arms wide open.

“…eh?”

“What are you doing? Come here.”

“That, that’s…”

The guy who was very nervous slowly approached me with a face that looked like he was about to die.

As if he was afraid that I would assault him, he got slower and slower the closer he got.

“Why are you so scared? I was just trying to compliment you.”

I grabbed the guy’s arm and pulled him into my arms.

At this moment, I completely ruled out the feeling of embracing a woman.

He rubbed my back and patted my head.

“Well done.”

“Ga, Ga Ga Ga, what is this all of a sudden…”

“I’m praising you. Didn’t you call your former colleague with just one word from me? It’s my way to praise someone who listens well and does what I tell him to do.”

no.

The reason I hugged the guy.

It’s only because of this.

‘Fuck… this kid wasn’t a spy…’

Everything he told me was true.

That a colleague was nearby.

That he was from an adventure group.

It doesn’t seem like it was hastily made at all, and even people who are famous in the world actually appear.

Of course, I can’t rule out the possibility that they might have recruited famous adventurers from other queens’ forces, but would they have planned it so meticulously just for me?

Well, even if that’s the case, it doesn’t matter.

The more popular an adventure group is with the public, the easier it is to investigate them.

From now on, you can just take your time and find out.

Above all, that wizard.

I was convinced when I saw Fiora Robson.

They’re not spies or anything.

‘No matter how stupid a person is, he wouldn’t use a wizard from a famous former noble family as a spy.’

So the chances of this guy Sienna Blake being a spy are almost zero.

I knew this would be the most ticking thing from day one.

“Ji, Jijiji right now… Mu, mumu, what are you doing…”

The guy in my arms seemed to be acting up so much that I slowly relaxed my arms.

“You have talent. Just follow me from now on. I will make you the best.”

“……”

“Why, does it sound like a lie?”

“Oh, no. You, it was too sudden…”

The guy carefully took my hand which was on top of his head.

But I don’t hate it, so I’m not rejecting it.

“Everyone gather around!”

These guys are particularly motivated.

‘It seems that overwhelmingly pushing forward against someone who is far stronger than them is effective.’

“I believe what you said. Wasn’t this what you asked the wizard to do earlier to test the potion’s effectiveness?”

“That’s… that’s right.”

“Actually, I knew from the beginning. I just wanted to see who was using such crude magic.”

“……”

“Fortunately, this time the person involved showed up and forgave you, but if you get caught doing tricks again, know that there will be no forgiveness next time. Got it?”

A loud answer rang out.

And beyond the sound, a pink-haired woman who had been invisible was running towards me, carrying a bunch of useless luggage.

“What is that?”

“That’s… It seems like the fight is getting bigger, so Ainel calls the other instructors…”

“Go and look.”

“Yes?”

“The fight is over. I’m going to turn it all around. It’s annoying.”

“Ah… yes.”

The grumbling of the instructors, who are turning their backs again, seems to be audible from here.

I think I heard a loud noise from Sienna, who just went to tell Ainel, but so what.

Anyway, they’re going to curse at me behind my back all the time.

So, all the guys who were taking my class gathered together again.

I declared to the guys.

“That’s the end of training for today.”

“Yes?”

“Really?”

It’s natural to be surprised.

Because I’ve been working so hard without letting you rest for even a moment.

“From this moment on, you will leave the dormitory and live with me in my mansion. The training will be more difficult, but I will always watch over you, so you don’t have to worry too much. The living will be much better than here in the dormitory, and the food will be great. Of course, you won’t be charged for the expenses, so don’t worry. ”

Everyone looks dumbfounded at the sudden announcement.

In fact, even if today’s events had not happened, I had intended to do this from the beginning.

I’ve been thinking about it ever since I heard the story of Sir Dalot from Angelica.

‘If even Queen Emilia’s faction might come after me, I might as well make a mess of things instead.’

It’s been confirmed that Sienna is not a spy, but the other three’s identities are still unknown.

But it doesn’t matter anymore.

Just drag them all into the mansion and make them keep an eye on each other.

If everyone is in one place, regardless of who is on whose side, who is a spy, or what schemes they are plotting, they will be unable to move recklessly because they will have to keep each other in check.

Of course, things can go wrong.

But you have to accept that much.

It’s not perfect, but it does give me some confidence in my power.

‘Now that I can use magic to some extent…’

Then how can I protect myself?

‘And after Angelica, I have to bring that guy over to my side now.’

Sienna Blake.

The guy doesn’t seem to be a spy, so I need to get him on my side for sure from now on.

‘Damn. If only I could see the mana circuit like that back then…’

Anyway, now that I have a clear idea of who I need to grow first, the work that needs to be done going forward has become clearer.

“Before the sun sets, pack everything and come to the mansion. That’s it for today. Alright, let’s disperse. ”

The guys are confused by the sudden announcement and can’t do anything.

“Ah, Sienna, come here for a minute.”

“Me, you mean me…?”

I took out one of the potions that the guys were raving about, which cost 30 gold, and handed it to the guy.

“Don’t give it to other guys. Keep it and drink it when you’re sick.”

It was intentional.

To show other guys that you are deliberately favoring them.

‘Think about it. Why am I suddenly only looking after Sienna? Are you curious? If you’re curious, find out. Your top priority is that guy.’

I’m not sure if the guys will take this bait.

But it doesn’t matter.

If you ask, it’s thanks, and if you don’t ask, it’s okay.

If you set up several fishing rods with bait like this, you’re bound to get caught at some point.

Besides, from now on, those guys are just fish living in my personal pond.

‘I’m looking forward to it. I wonder who will move first.’

“The furniture isn’t ready yet, but I’ll give you a room on the second floor, so each of you can choose one. I’ll stay on the fourth floor, so come up when you need to. If you have any other questions, you can ask Lord Dalot. Just don’t bother me with useless things. ”

The guys’ room assignments are complete.

And then a guest arrived.

“You came alone?”

“……”

“Wouldn’t it be better to talk quietly?”

“Huh… Yes. Please do that.”

Fiora Robson.

His past surname was Moash.

Even if his last name is like that, it is hard to even guess how thick his heart is when you see that he still uses the same name as when he was a noble.

I bit people and asked Angelica not to bother me either.

Maybe you’ll hear stories about his past.

So it was necessary to have the conversation as secretly as possible.

“What are the conditions? It doesn’t seem like they called me just for money.”

“Money isn’t the problem. If you put your mind to it, you can make as much money as you want.”

I thought so too, but it’s not as easy as I thought.

Adrian’s memories haven’t been restored yet, so I’m embarrassed to even mention the word ‘wealth’ in the spell.

‘But you have to show off to enjoy it.’

“Of course. If you were demoted and still live in a mansion like this.”

“There’s no need to be so sarcastic. Since you know the ecology of the nobles better than anyone else.”

“……”

I opened my mouth as I headed to the window with the steaming cup of tea.

“Shall we talk about our past?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Today, a woman was talking insolently about debt in front of me.”

“Ah…”

“You have to answer well. Don’t just think about it.”

Taking a sip of tea, I looked out the window and saw Angelica walking around the garden with her usual quartet.

I asked you to do it, but how could you possibly be guiding me to a training location in the middle of the night? That’s very typical of you.

Or should I say that there is no induction.

I turned my attention back to Fiora, who was standing behind me, and asked her a question indirectly.

“What did you say to me back then?”

“If that were the case…?”

“That’s when. After work was done at Count Moash’s mansion.”

“Ah! Are you talking about Mr. Favela?”

“Yeah. I don’t remember what I heard back then.”

Actually, what’s more curious is why Adrian kept asking about his sister, who he didn’t share a single drop of blood with.

‘Revenge for using her as a test subject? Or a twisted affection?’

I wouldn’t be able to hear from this woman until then, but just in case, I decided to tell her everything I know.

But there is no reply for a while.

I slowly moved my gaze from outside the window to Fiora, who was still sitting on the sofa, and asked.

“Why? Will you open your mouth again this time if I satisfy you like that?”
