Word quickly spread throughout the academy that a student had trashed the training room.

However, no one knew the identity of the protagonist who destroyed the personal training room.

If it were normal, rumors would have spread and he would have been punished.

The reason for this was soon easy to see.

-I’m sorry, Logs. I should have paid more attention as your teacher.

This is what my teacher said as he looked at my right hand with compassionate eyes, although I don’t know why.

It was nice not having to worry about how to resolve this case, which was obviously going to get worse the moment I spoke.

My heart felt heavy at the teacher’s sincere apology.

Of course, I wasn’t stupid enough to ignore the teacher’s words of forgiveness and insist on telling the truth.

anyway.

This secret is to be kept only by me and my teacher. No one else should ever know it.

You shouldn’t know.

“Logz, you destroyed your private room! What are you going to do with that thick wall…!”

I ran to Yasha, who was walking towards me from afar, and covered his mouth.

“Shh! You, how do you know that?”

“Because Dad…told you?”

‘…crazy.’

So he’s the king of the black market after all.

Yasha is one of the few people who went to the black market with me and knows exactly why I got hurt. If she accidentally tells this to the teacher…

Even at that time, it was unknown whether I would still be attending the academy.

I spoke seriously to Yasha because I had to stop that.

“You can’t tell anyone about that, okay?”

“Why?”

“If you tell anyone…I might not be able to attend the academy in the future.”

“Ouch!”

Yasha covered his mouth with both hands and looked around at my words. Fortunately, he realized that there were no human signs around him and let out a sigh of relief.

“I almost got in big trouble.”

“You’ll keep my secret, right?”

“Of course! I’ll never say anything, I have no one to talk to in the first place.”

“…”

I lowered my head at Yasha’s smiling expression.

I know it wasn’t meant for me, but for some reason it stabbed me in the heart.

I’m sure Yasha feels the same way.

I patted Yasha on the shoulder.

“It’s okay. We can make friends too.”

“Is it okay if I just have logs?”

‘Pretending to be okay…’

It was a happy thing for me, but it must have been a lie.

I have no intention of pouring cold water on Yasha’s cool pose. I said with a calm smile.

“Thank you for your words. But after this duel, I’ll introduce you to my friends. They’re weird, but I won’t discriminate based on class. ”

“… Really?”

“Before that, there’s one thing to check. Now, let’s see how much you’ve grown!”

“, all of a sudden!? But still, I endured that hell for this day!”

“Now! Take up your weapon, Yasha.”

“Is this a park?”

“Oh, right.”

***

“The day has finally come!!”

oh—!!!

“What a nice spirit to see.”

The instructor looked down at the cadets with a pleased smile.

That smile wasn’t the kind of smile a mother bird would give to her baby.

It was just the worry of an adult who knew their future.

‘I hope I don’t give up on my dream like this.’

The instructor motioned for the five Ten Warriors standing behind him to come forward.

Thud thud.

The cadets could not help but admire their dignity, which was so impressive that they could feel their great spirit just by walking. However, this was only the beginning.

“10 Warrior Sana Hilita.”

“9 Warrior Ella Stella~ Please take good care of everyone.”

“7 Warrior Pamin Agrill… Ha… I want to go home.”

“Hey guys, Merilda Salamandra, the awesome 5th warrior!”

“…”

Immediately after the colorful self-introductions, the cadets looked at them in silence. The embarrassed 10 warriors tried to smile and continue talking.

“This is a real 10 warrior!!!”

Starting with one person, cheers from all the cadets around them echoed throughout the training ground.

oh—!!!!

“Seo, I never thought I’d see Ella.”

“As expected, that’s the chief’s older sister. It’s really good that she’s alive.”

“Your taming ability is the best in the world, Pamin, you’re so cool!!”

“Still, that confidence. I said Merilda is the best!”

There was one reason why they were so crazy about the 10 warriors.

That’s what warriors are like.

The title of Top 10 Warriors, which most children would have aimed for at least once.

Looking at these five people standing with such dreamlike titles.

There was no dream tree that was not excited.

“Quiet!! We’re not here to play around!”

The instructor’s shout brought the cadets back to their senses.

““I’m sorry!!””

A man stood before them, more motivated than ever.

Creepy!

The cadets trembled at his aura.

Starting out as a commoner, he earned the title of Warrior 10 through his skills alone, and is now an incredible man who is indispensable to this country.

as soon as.

“3 warrior rugisda.”

The cadets were unable to control their trembling bodies and could not open their mouths.

“Um…I thought I did it normally.”

“Senior!”

Ella, who was standing next to him, whispered to him.

“The kids were scared. Smile a little more!”

“I see, ahem. Nice to meet you all.”

But to the cadets, Rugis’ smile was nothing more than a ‘killer’ smile.

None of the cadets responded to Rugis’s words. Naturally, Rugis’ confidence plummeted, and the 10 warriors who saw this snickered and laughed at him.

“Because Master Rugis looks darker than me…”

“How about smiling like me, Ruggys? Oh, isn’t it easy to imitate such a beautiful smile?”

“Both of you, stop teasing each other. Are you okay, senior?”

“Yeah, you finish it…”

He smiled, pretending to be calm. But the Ten Warriors who had been watching him for a long time could tell.

‘ ‘Wow… that was really crazy.’ ‘

Knowing that no major problems would arise, they sent Ruggies back and explained to the cadets how this sparring would be done.

“First, the regular cadets will be divided into me, Sana, and Pamin according to their grades and we will spar. I will use three magic spells, Sana will use a wooden sword, and Pamin will use only one of his familiars, so you don’t have to feel too burdened.”

But there was no cadet who was not burdened by her words, because even with such restrictions, it was obvious that they would be strong.

Although she knew the cadets’ intentions, Ella cruelly blurted out the following words as part of the training.

“The spirits are only visible to special people, so the spirit shamans will spar with Merilda. Due to time constraints, Merilda will explain the rules later. And the last one is.”

The 10 warriors and cadets, all of them, looked at the Ruggis sitting in the distance. At first glance, it might seem like the real thing.

He was a warrior who was strictly awarded the title of Third Warrior.

Nervous kids.

Among them, ‘they’ swallowed dry saliva.

“The last one is the chief and the current student of the Knight class, Logs Avance, who will fight Senior Ruggis. I told you this in advance…”

Ella, who was diligently explaining the rules, turned her gaze towards the entrance of the training ground.

“Logs I really can’t do it! I told you I can’t do it?”

“You can do it, Yasha. We practiced a lot, right?”

“You said you’d fight with me back then!”

“You can hear that sound even when you look at my hands? Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to help you.”

“No! It’s meaningless if I don’t do it with you!”

“Why doesn’t it make sense? It helps you grow.”

Logs, who had been forcibly dragging Yasha from afar, met the eyes of the ten warriors on the stage.

‘Um…what is it?’

Wasn’t the meeting at 10?

***

The teacher clearly said we should meet at 10, so I came 5 minutes early…

Why do these people already look like they’re having a hard time?

I hurriedly took Yasha and ran to the place where the kids were gathered.

“I’m dueling with the 10 warriors, but why are you so late…”

“Did you really think 10 o’clock was 10 o’clock?”

“As expected, he’s a loser…”

As I got closer, I could hear the children’s mocking and accusations. But I ignored them and spoke to the instructor who was walking towards me.

“We are not late.”

“I don’t mean to scold you. I came here to tell you that the rules I’m explaining now are your group’s rules, so listen carefully.”

“Ah…I’m sorry.”

“That confident attitude is good. Keep up the good work.”

The instructor finished speaking and returned to his seat. He was surprised, but he wasn’t angry.

I looked at the 9th warrior Ella, leaving Yasha standing next to me.

Ella was sending me a faint sly glare from afar.

Are you mad that I’m late? But I’m not late!

No, didn’t you look at me like that last time too?

I remember that black magic wasn’t discovered at that time…

Did I really do something wrong?

Even though I thought about it with my head held high, I couldn’t think of anything I had done wrong to Ella, the Ninth Warrior.

If it were Sarah, I wouldn’t know.

It was scary to think about, but Sana, who was next to him, also had a scary expression on her face.

‘Ha…I hope I can survive today too.’

***

‘Logs Avant.’

Even though I’ve been with Senior Ruggis for several years, I’ve never received expectations like this before! How dare you receive them before me!!

The reason why my senior suddenly started talking about sparring was because of that kid!!

Oh, so annoying!!!

I am stronger!

Why is Senior interested in a guy like that? No, no way, a man…

No, you clearly said you liked women better last time… Have you changed since then!?

Merilda’s face appeared before Ella, who was lost in her own thoughts.

“Are you thinking about Ruggis again?”

“Oh, no!”

“Hmm~ Then hurry up and finish explaining. The kids are waiting.”

“I’ll do it even if you don’t say anything.”

“Oh, and be careful not to have a junior under you.”

“This…”

Merilda smiled, amused by Ella’s reaction, and got away from her before she could explode.

“Ha…I’m sorry.”

Ella swallowed her anger and continued speaking as she watched Merilda running away.

“Let me explain again. The group with the current head and the student Logs Avance will face off against Senior Rugis. The rules are simple: if they touch Senior Rugis’ clothes or body, or anywhere else, the cadet team wins. If everyone falls before that, Senior Rugis wins.”

“?”

Is this the first time you’ve heard of that?

And why am I among the chiefs?
