“10 These are the foods that the warriors gave us for their hard work, so eat as much as you want without worrying about what other people think.”

“Wow!! As expected, it’s the 10 warriors!!”

The cheers of the cadets rang in Rugis’ ears. A faint smile formed on his lips at the sound.

Those who will one day graduate from the academy and become knights.

How many of them can become the pillars of this country?

“Do you have anything to say?”

After the instructor finished explaining everything, Ruggis stood on the podium and looked at the cadets.

My memory wasn’t good enough to remember all their faces.

I don’t know if their skills can make it to the 10th warrior level.

Ruggis took a deep breath and shouted at the cadets.

“I realized through today’s sparring that you guys are still immature. Of course, you guys know that best.”

“…”

The atmosphere of the banquet hall has become chilly.

Rugis continued speaking without paying any attention.

“Because you are immature, your potential is limitless. Those destined to become the pillars of this country! Grow up and tell me your names. Then I will buy you something delicious again.”

Rugis lifted his glass into the air.

Everyone who heard his story raised their glasses following him.

“May your path be filled with blessings!!”

Ohh–!!!!!

“That’s it. Have fun and go in.”

After saying that, Ruggis came down from the stage and returned to his original seat.

“Senior, is something wrong?”

“Why?”

“You look kind of sad.”

“It’s nothing. There was just one cadet who rejected my offer.”

Ella’s face flashed in her mind at those words.

“I’m talking about that guy who bullied Sarah.”

“Yeah, I guess it’s a bit surprising that someone like that would do something like that in the past.”

“What’s unexpected! I’ll tell you in advance, if you bring her, you’ll never get along well with Sana, senior.”

“But I can’t let that talent rot away…”

“Senior, I’m enough on my own! It won’t work right now anyway.”

“… The more people you have, the more people you can save.”

“That’s right… Ah! I don’t know!!”

Ella drank all the wine in her glass in one gulp, grumbling.

“Whenever I see you, Ruggy, I think God is fair.”

“I also think that this time, Mr. Rugis made a little mistake.”

Rugis just raised a question mark.

***

“Logs?”

“Shhh!”

“What are you doing behind that pillar?”

I could also understand Yasha’s feelings as he approached me carrying a plate of food.

Even I would have thought that a guy who was cautiously looking around from behind a pillar in this peaceful banquet hall was crazy.

But you must never show me to the three warriors.

-Do you have any plans to become a full-time warrior under me?

The cadets who received such an offer from the 3rd Warrior Ruggs would usually feel joy first. But I was not.

If I work under the 3rd Warrior, my image will definitely improve.

My power will also increase even more than it is now, and no one will be able to ignore me.

‘But that doesn’t mean I can throw away my life.’

I nodded in agreement with his thoughts.

“Logs?”

“Don’t worry about it, Yasha.”

“That’s not it…your friends are here.”

“Huh?”

As I stepped away from the pillar, I turned my gaze towards Yasha.

There stood Kadira, who was eating her food voraciously and looking at me with strange eyes, and Lina, who looked a little offended.

“Are you finally crazy?”

I smiled at Kadira’s provocation.

“Call me whatever you want! I’m the winner today.”

“…Can I hit you?”

“I’m the only winner today. At least one.”

“Hah!!”

I don’t know about any other day, but today, Kadi can’t be defeated. The intensity of the provocation was different from the beginning.

Even Kadira realized that and pulled out her trump card.

“The only winner…what will happen if I tell the others about this?”

“…”

-Don’t be so arrogant, you rascal.

-I will take it as an insult to the princess.

-Kill me…I will kill you.

The kids’ reactions flashed through my head like a revolving lantern. No matter how much I thought about it, it was dangerous.

Sarah in particular is more at risk.

I remember provoking Sarah by telling her that I couldn’t last even a minute. I really didn’t know that she couldn’t last even a minute!

I said that because I knew I could last three minutes!

I reached out and grabbed Kadira’s shoulder.

“I lost.”

“Good idea. Then I’ll take Yasha with me!”

“Huh!? Wait! Logs!!”

A surprised Yasha called me, but I couldn’t stop Kadira, who was already interested.

That expression wasn’t one of joy at making a new friend, but rather of a beast that had found a new style of sparring partner. Fighting, Yasha.

That’s just how life is.

But if that was the purpose, then tell me…

Yasha and Kadira leave.

Only Lina and I were left in this place.

“Aren’t you going?”

“Why? Would you like to go?”

“Because it’s more fun to play with the kids than with me.”

After finishing those words, I hid behind the pillar again and looked around. Fortunately, while I was talking, the 10 warriors made no move toward us.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Gulp.

My stomach was screaming for food. Sure enough, I looked at the clock and it was already 7pm.

‘I was so nervous that I didn’t even realize how much time had passed.’

Now I need to eat something too…

I stuck my head out to roughly check what kind of food was on the table.

It looks so delicious even though it’s way past dinner time.

Or maybe the food just looks delicious.

One thing is for sure, if I eat that food, my brain and stomach will die.

‘I have to send Lina off quickly and bring some food secretly.’

“Lina, now you go and play with the kids.”

“Don’t you want to eat together?”

“… Uh, I think it’s going to be a little difficult right now.”

“Why?”

I couldn’t answer Lina’s question.

Why?

Of course, I also want to enjoy the banquet and eat together with the kids.

When I didn’t answer, Lina came over to me and pressed me for an answer.

‘What if Rugis doesn’t come to the seniors?’

That never happened.

It was nonsense to go back without meeting these kids who I had sparred with and who could be called the new seeds of the academy.

It’s a bit awkward to tell the truth, so how can I make an excuse for this?

As my worries grew longer, Lina sighed and opened her mouth.

“Is it because you feel awkward meeting the 3 warriors?”

I nodded, surprised at her sharp question.

“That’s right.”

“Don’t worry about that. The 3rd warrior spoke to us earlier and left. He probably won’t come back.”

“Really?”

“Hey, why do you care about that? It was all a sparring match.”

I didn’t bother to argue back and just gave her an awkward smile.

“Is that so? Well, then let’s eat together.”

“Okay! Let’s go quickly.”

Lina took my hand and started walking. Her bold action made me look around quickly.

Lina is good in everything, but one problem is that she doesn’t know her place. It was the same last time.

It’s still like that now.

Lina knows how to bury people even though they look bad on the outside.

It’s fortunate that the cadets’ interest is in the 10th Fighter and not us now, otherwise…

It doesn’t matter if I fall now.

***

“Wow!! This is the taste!”

“What, did you hit me?”

“Hi! The alcohol tastes good!”

Black Cecilia drinks whiskey like water.

Adn is waging a war of nerves with the innocent wall.

Kadira was already drunk and turned to slime.

The sight was like.

“This is a mess.”

“Yeah, it’s a mess.”

Lina and I sighed.

“I told you not to drink too much…”

Lina approached Kadira, muttering to herself.

Kadira lifted her glass brightly, unaware of Lina’s speed.

“Come on, Lina! Do you want some too?”

“Later.”

“Oh, Yasha! Are you going to drink?”

“Okay…I’ll drink.”

I smiled at the sight of the two of them already becoming close friends after only meeting for a few minutes.

It’s like how a father feels when he witnesses his daughter making friends at kindergarten.

There was something peculiar and admirable about Yasha.

The tears of emotion stopped at this point, and I approached them, snatched the glass they were holding, and put it in my mouth.

“It’s still too early for you.”

“…”

Yasha and Lina stared at me with their mouths wide open. Kadira reached out to me with a sad face.

“No my wine!!”

“Children, quickly wipe your feet and go to bed.”

“You’re a map idiot!”

“Are you okay?”

I nodded slowly at Yasha’s concern.

“It tastes good.”

“That’s not it! Aren’t you drunk?”

“I won’t get drunk to this extent.”

The previous owner of the body was a huge jerk.

“Oh…I got drunk as soon as I drank it.”

“Because I can’t drink alcohol.”

Lina, who was caught up in my conversation with Yasha, snatched the glass from my hand and placed it out of Kadira’s reach.

“I want to drink more, Lina…”

“Stop now. If you drink any more, it’s dangerous.”

“Oh, it’s been a while since I’ve had a drink, so let’s just have one last drink!”

“No.”

“Tsk, that’s fatal.”

Kadira turned her head away from Lina and puffed out her cheeks. That cool Kadira…

You’re really a kindergartener now!?

Lina began to comfort her, as if she was familiar with Kadira’s appearance after drinking.

“Let’s all drink together next time.”

“…”

“At that time, with food more delicious than this.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, really.”

“Wow! I like Lina!”

Even Kadira has a sense of shame.

For the sake of her dignity, I turned my head away.

Of course, I was secretly rooting for Lina, who was taking care of Kadira.

When I turned my head, what I saw was another drunkard.

What sets him apart from other kids is that he’s a member of the royal family.

Asbel, embracing Lavess and expressing his anger.

“That’s right, Labes? I tried hard, right? But I lost, oh my gosh!!”

Labes opened his mouth quietly.

“This is already the 10th time, Your Highness.”

“Why don’t you want to hear it?”

“You can listen to it billions of times.”

Asbel, excited by that answer, hugged Labes even tighter and said.

“I like it! So you’re saying that? I really worked hard, right?”

And her story of endless hell began again.

I turned my head again, holding back a laugh at the ever-changing expression on Raves’ face. It seemed like he was having a hard time.

It’ll be okay since I like it.

Finally, when I turned my head, I saw Adrian fighting against the wall.

“What are you doing? If you hit someone, you shouldn’t apologize.”

“…”

“But is your body better than I thought?”

I quietly turned my head away from Ad.

“Are you feeling better now?”

“Yeah! I really like Lina!”

“Me,me too…okay.”

Lina was embarrassed but also felt good about the uncommon aegyo from Kadira.

One person came to mind in Lina’s memories.

“Where is Kadira Sarah?”

“Huh? I don’t know!”

“What?”

“She said she was going to the bathroom but she disappeared…but does Lina like Sarah better?”

“No, that’s not it…Wouldn’t it be more fun if all friends were together?”

“That’s right! I’ll go look for it!”

Kadira stood up so confidently.

dump.

He couldn’t hold out for even a second and collapsed on the floor.

“Kids…Can you help me?”

“If it’s a bathroom…”

Lina and I turned our gaze to Yasha.

“Nanananana, I’m not close with Sarah?”

How scary must the image be for the child to be shaking like this, Saraya.

So how nice it would be if we could live with a little smile.

…Isn’t that what I’m saying?

Lina explained Sarah to me on my behalf when I suddenly became depressed.

“Sarah may look scary, but she has a similar personality to Kadira. No, they’re exactly the same, so don’t worry.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, but I’m a little shy… but please be nice to everyone except for certain people.”

‘what.’

Why are you looking at me so sadly…

There was no one to comfort me when my bitter feelings were over.

“Please take care of me, Yasha!”

“Okay! I’ll work hard.”

In that short time, Yasha, who had been persuaded by Lina, left.

‘Ugh… I guess I’ll just have to tease her when she disappears…’

Just sleep.

Sarah’s competitive spirit, alcohol, and long periods of absence.

“Where are you going, Logs.”

“I’ll go to Sarah’s Secret Garden and come back.”

“Secret Garden? What is that?”

“Huh?”
