by fnovelpia“You told me to kidnap Ronica?”
“Kk!!?… .”
Ronika kidnapped.
Sounds like an idiot.
How did the Duke of Avalon know about Ronica and suddenly kidnap her?
I got a little nervous.
“Why?”
“Sorry, sorry!! We really don’t know. Please save me!!!… .”
Is it because of the severity?
The guy who answered pleaded desperately.
Shake it~
Some of the guys who were struggling to hold on were unable to withstand the weight and collapsed.
Blood vessels were bursting in the wide-open eyes.
It looks like you really don’t know.
Wow~
It would be difficult if everyone fell like this, so it was a shame.
“That’s an embarrassing story. I thought they were targeting my boss, but I found out they were targeting Ronica. And the Duke of Avalon… .”
Hysterion also expressed doubt. The attitude is that there is no guessing at all.
He asked me again.
“Is there something that happened that I don’t know about?”
“Well… .”
Nothing big comes to mind.
The most recent incidents I have experienced are the black magician incident and the labyrinth corruption incident… .
wait.
When have you never heard of the name Avalon?
I couldn’t even see his face… This is a child who appeared together when instructors McGuird and Tiana attacked Ronica.
Prince Avalon.
no way… .
An unexpected touchpoint.
Was it because of this?
If so, that explains it.
The duke is a powerful man.
After Andras’ death, he must have done his own investigation.
At this time, Ronica showed remarkable success in killing the warlock, and if the Duke had investigated Ronica’s whereabouts… .
It’s a very possible story.
Also the labyrinth incident.
Also the warlock incident.
He was probably confident that he could get something from Ronica.
If the inference is correct, he’s a pretty scary guy. Even though it wasn’t accurate yet, they tried to kidnap him by deploying a large number of 5-star forces.
“It’s all done by the Duke of Avalon! We’re just dogs that follow orders, so we don’t know why. We were simply ordered to kidnap a cadet named Ronika.”
As I was thinking about it, the attacker repeated the same thing as if making excuses.
There’s nothing I can find out if I ask more.
“Noisy.”
“Yes?… yes… … .”
Whatever it is, this incident will make the Duke keep an eye on Ronika.
A rather annoying enemy appears.
Fortunately, there is one ally here that cannot be ignored.
Hysterion.
I told him my reasoning.
“The duke’s son was there during the training camp entrance exam.”
“Hmm?”
“That guy colluded with the instructor and tried to steal Ronica’s points.”
“ho, perhaps-”
I explained to Hysterion, who expressed confusion, without giving him a chance to ask questions.
Prince Avalon’s denial.
Ronica passed the exam with the Confucius badge.
The full story of the incident where the instructor died and was buried in the labyrinth.
Ronica became famous for killing a warlock.
As we talked about this, he quickly finished reasoning.
“Huh… If that is true, did they try to kidnap you for confirmation?”
“Not sure.”
“But you have to keep that in mind. The duke is a thoroughgoing person, and he is a person who will survive. But, after all, he is the Duke of Avalon. Hmm… … .”
The guy let out a frustrated sigh.
The duke is a key figure in the kingdom.
No matter how hysterical it is, you can’t help but be reluctant to confront it.
But what is there to worry about?
I have it.
“There is no need to sigh. If things don’t work out, you can just destroy the duke house by yourself.”
“Huh?… .”
Now that we can use cases, it’s something worth trying. No matter how much of an operation it is, it is unlikely that such a high-quality workforce will remain.
In this case, it would have a big impact on the kingdom, but what happens after that is none of my business.
Such a shitty kingdom.
Whether it’s ruined or ugly, you’ll figure it out.
“Are you sincere?”
“I am sincere. Or is my strength not good enough?”
“… Nope. How could I not believe it when I saw him suppress such power without even using his hands? However, it means that it is not a good method.”
“Then what are we going to do?”
“Leave it to me. Now that all of this power is gone, the duke will definitely want to check. I need to take this opportunity to reduce my power.”
“I don’t like complicated things like that. Just take care of it yourself.”
“… So, can you help me when I need it?”
“If it’s Ronica’s problem, I’d like to help at least separately, so let me know if you need it. You have to repay the spirit anyway, so don’t feel burdened.”
“Huh… I remembered that.”
“I tend to keep my promises.”
I left the case to Hysterion.
This guy specializes in plotting things, so there’s no reason to lose strength first.
Destroying it is the final resort.
It’s best to avoid it if possible.
Afterwards, Hysterion said:
He said he would let me know as soon as the case was investigated.
Ronica said that she would also protect herself safely.
Instead, ask them to lend you strength when you need it.
“The time has finally come to repay my granddaughter’s favor. So, I will take responsibility for this matter, find out the truth, and let you know.”
“Trust me.”
“Oh, by the way. And I’ll borrow some of Venus’ power. Now we are behind in terms of information.”
“I don’t think that’s something you should say to me.”
“I understand you gave permission.”
The rough simulation is over.
Hysterion has figured out who the attackers are behind, and how will Hysterion handle the cleanup?
If you need it, you will call me.
This is why it is easy to cooperate with capable people.
Rauf too.
Hysteria temperature.
As you can see, you can take on the burdensome tasks.
Is this all thanks to my disciple?
These days, I’m learning more and more about the importance of cooperation. If I were alone, I would have wasted time running around and not having enough time to grow.
If I hadn’t met the disciple… .
I might have been weaker than I am now.
There was no desire at all.
Pisik-
After laughing once, I turned around for a moment.
The attackers were quietly watching and trembling.
Hysterion will take care of these guys as well, but they were quite resistant at first. So, I gave a warning along with Gyeok.
“You guys. If you rebel against Hysterion, I will come to inflict pain myself. Even if you crawl like a bug, don’t be noticed by me.”
“Keuuck!!… Yes, that’s right.”
Swish~
The business is finished.
Hysterion sensed this and spoke first.
“Are you planning to go?”
“There are some guys you can meet.”
“I see… There are a lot of stories I want to tell, but I can’t hold onto them as I want. Once again, I want to leave my relationship with Ronika and be on friendly terms with you. It will continue in the future.”
“I hope so too.”
I approached the window.
Drurly~
Open the door and jump right in.
Whilick!~
Hysterion.
Goliath Knights.
Trembling raiders.
I left with all their eyes on me.
*
Sigh~
I headed to the back of the Venus building.
Now that you’ve met Hysterion, it’s time to meet Rowen.
I know where he is.
I saw you going to the training ground earlier.
Tadat!~
orphanage.
Training center.
It is visible that the two buildings are next to each other.
Here too, the goal is to train members of the Venus organization and expand their power quickly.
Among them, I entered the training center.
Huge yard.
A small building where you can rest in the corner.
Although it can’t be said to be large, it was roughly the size of a sect where dozens of people gathered to learn.
It was built not long ago so there weren’t many people there, but luckily the guy I was looking for was out at the training center alone.
Rowan.
He is swinging a real sword.
You can tell just by looking at it.
I have been training without stopping until now.
Is it just before it surpasses the early 4-star level?
Maybe it’s because I watched the monsters at the training camp, but it doesn’t seem as high as I thought.
Of course, if he had grown up learning from a proper teacher, he would be like Astradik, but he learned the sword too late.
If it weren’t for me, it would still be at 3 stars.
You will know it well yourself.
That’s probably why I train like that.
but… lack.
There is no poison that I knew in my past life.
That was the secret to how strong he became. I guess I’ll have to fix it a little before sending him to work.
I made my presence known to the guy and approached him.
“Growth is slow.”
“… Who!!?”
Swish~
The guy immediately turned around.
Fairly quick response. One Gigam was no match for Medis.
“Rowen. Do you recognize me?”
“… How do you say my name?… … .”
The guy looked at me with a surprised expression.
Currently, I am not hiding my ears and tail. The guy confirmed that I was a prisoner and quickly started rolling his eyes.
Is it really Rowen?
His eyes opened wide.
I was planning on giving him a hint if he didn’t know me, but he figured out my identity right away.
“No way… Are you black?”
“Yes.”
My mouth opened wide.
But at the same time, he asked me to confirm it again as if it was hard to believe.
“Are you really black? If by chance you deceived me with a lie-”
Cut the blade of your hand far away.
It’s a disaster~
A sharp wind passed by him.
“What are you going to do if you cheated?”
“… Nice to meet you.”
“When in this form, call me Dirus.”
“That… I had no idea that he would turn into a human. But to call him Dirus… Is that your real name?”
“The disciple doesn’t know yet, so be especially careful.”
“Disciple?”
“I’m talking about Ronika.”
“Ah!… .”
There are many ways to use Rowen to advance future work.
He’s quick-witted and knows the subject.
It would be convenient to tell this much in advance.
“Then the reason you appeared in front of me is perhaps-”
“Because I have something to do.”
“Something to do?… ”
“Venus had an informant who focused on collecting only specific information. Have them find out everything about the man named Medis.”
“Suddenly what… .”
Medis.
As part of the deal with Atrot, I let him go without much help, but as long as he has secrets that I don’t know about, I have no intention of just watching him quietly.
It would be good to at least identify trends.
If you’re lucky, you might be able to find out what kind of force is controlling Medith.
“Is it possible?”
“It is possible, but… Can you tell me what the reason is?”
“Personal reasons.”
“Umm… .”
“Are you hesitant?”
“Honestly, I don’t know. The object of my loyalty is Ronika or you. I don’t even know if I can push forward with things like this arbitrarily… .”
Although he’s talking in circles, he seems to be suspicious of me.
He suddenly appears and asks me to do some unknown work, so I can’t help but be cautious.
I have no intention of saying anything in particular.
Because that is a natural posture.
It might take a little persuasion.
“If you want to reach 5 stars now, you will have to train consistently for at least 3 to 5 years. The higher the level, the smaller and more divergent the paths of the mana circuit are. 6 stars will take about 10 years… .”
“Why is that suddenly… .”
“But if I help, 5 years at the latest. You can achieve 6 stars in it. In fact, as you have now reached 4 stars. Do you understand me?”
“… … … Just order anything!!!!”
He’s an easy guy.
Come to think of it, when we first met, this guy’s top priority was to become stronger.
You’ll find out later when you take a look at it.
Anyway, Rowen got a 90 degree greeting from me.
It won’t matter what I order now.
“Medis is a 32nd class cadet at Evelyn Training Center and is in the same class as Ronica. There may be a big force behind it, so be careful when investigating. If you look for the traces at the training center, you will be able to find them.”
“We will search through all information and thoroughly investigate it.”
“And one more thing.”
“Please tell me.”
“There will be a bandit group located in the mountains to the east of the kingdom called Pasanchae.”
“Bandits?… .”
“Only you know. The head there is Erica.”
“Eri… card?… … Could it be that he is the head of Rosetta!!?”
“Noisy. Doesn’t your voice ring?”
The name of a bad relationship I haven’t heard in a long time.
It must be quite embarrassing, but I have no intention of hiding it.
I need to get Erica to make Lauf’s armor, but there’s still about a month left before he visits me regularly.
It’s too cumbersome and too far for me to go there myself.
When it comes to ordering things from others, there is no one better than Rowen.
Even if I tell this guy, it won’t be a big problem.
“But Erica… No, how on earth do you know that?”
“The night he collapsed, he made a contract with me, pledging his life. You can’t disobey my orders, so there’s no need to worry.“
“Yes… ”
An expression that asks, “What did you hear?”
I didn’t mind and gave him more information about him.
“For your information, it was he who secretly wore a mask and helped when integrating the slums.”
“Ah! I thought it looked somehow familiar… omg? Then-”
chuck.
He raised his hand to stop the question.
This is because I suddenly felt someone nearby.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Is there even a living place that Venus wanted? There seems to be some kind of rat.”
“A rat?… .”
“Come out first before attacking.”
I looked at the roof of the shelter built on one side of the training center. Someone was secretly lying down on the roof, hiding their presence.
“It won’t come out.”
“… Wow, that’s amazing. I can’t believe you noticed me.”
Whoosh~
The guy jumped.
Brown hair.
Sharp red eyes.
Surprisingly, it is a familiar face.
They say even tigers will come if you tell them to.
Rowen, who was next to him, also opened his eyes wide and shouted the guy’s name.
“You, you’re Erica!!?”
“Okay, kid. Nice to see you after a long time. by the way… .”
The being spied on was Erica.
A guy who was supposed to be in a place called Pasanchae in the far east suddenly appeared here.
She approached me, glaring at me.
Looks quite wary.
“Who are you?”
Is it because we are human?
He didn’t recognize me.
