The Duke of Avalon’s office.

​

“Why not aim for the festival?”

​

“Festival?”

​

Adjutant Arthuric proposed to the duke.

Let’s deal with Ronica during the training camp festival.

​

“As you said, assuming an assassination and thoroughly researching the schedule, the most appropriate time was when Cadet Ronica participated in the festival.”

​

“Why? If it were a training camp festival, the instructors wouldn’t sit still. The training center’s own power would be dangerous even for us… .”

​

“The training center festival spans the entire road connecting the city and training, and lasts all night, and each instructor has something to do. There are a lot of people, so if you are aiming for assassination, this is the best time.”

​

“Hmm… … Arthuric. Can I trust you this time?”

​

“Please trust us. This time, we will make sure to complete the preliminary research before moving on.”

​

The Duke of Avalon thought about that.

​

I have already walked down a path that there is no turning back from Hysterion.

​

In that case, it is better to strike it out first.

​

In addition, I also received information that Ronica and Hysterion have a very close relationship. Even his granddaughter, Andrew.

​

It would be good to use this.

​

“You can use all your hidden power. Attempt to kidnap not only Ronica but also a child named Andro. If two people are close, they will show up at the festival together. It would be a good move to pressure hysterion.”

​

“Yes. However, if it is not possible, I will kill Cadet Ronica.”

​

“Sure. Also, Hysterion will not appear at the festival. Because that’s how power is used. Then, the Goliath Knights will be divided for the sake of the granddaughter. It would be okay to raid the main base.”

​

“Let’s adjust it.”

​

The kidnapping of Ronika and Andro.

​

He plotted again to take control of Hysterion’s life.

​

​

​

​

​

The last dawn before leaving for training camp.

​

“Have you decided on a plan?”

​

As soon as the disciple fell asleep, he went to Andrew’s room and asked.

​

Shaking my head.

​

The guy shook his head at my question.

​

“What’s so urgent? There’s no way it’s all figured out already. But I kept the draft. Now, approach him in his human form, accompany him during the festival, and end with him revealing his identity at the finale at the last moment!”

​

“Ronika won’t walk alone, right?”

​

“Heehee~ Only I believe that. I will somehow prepare a place for you on the festival day.”

​

“I see.”

​

“True. You said Rowen and Fiona know, right? I’m going to ask for help from both of you, how about it?”

​

“… Do whatever you want.”

​

Operation to uncover identity.

​

Andro says he plans to mobilize not only himself but also his friends to help.

​

The driving force is really good.

​

Will more be more?

There are a lot of boatmen, so maybe they should go to the mountains.

​

We’ll have to wait and see to find out… .

​

“Trust me and leave it to me.”

​

“Yes~ Our young Hwansu should only trust this older sister!”

​

“It’s still treated that way.”

​

The impact of turning two years old is bigger than you think.

​

It’s nice to have an easy conversation, but thinking about being treated like this in the future makes me feel uncomfortable and guilty.

​

But we’ll have to keep this a secret for each other for the rest of our lives.

​

Afterwards, Andrew said:

​

Please take it easy until the training camp festival.

He said he would prepare on his own.

​

However, keep imagining and practicing how to treat Ronica.

​

I nodded, believing that whatever it was, he would come up with a much better plan than mine. Like he said, I need to put my mind in order. So that Ronika can accept it no matter how it turns out.

​

“Thank you.”

​

After listening to Andro’s advice for a bit, I headed to the Venus Training Center.

​

​

​

*

​

​

​

Rowan.

Erica.

Lionel.

Lauf.

​

Four people gathered at the Venus Training Center.

​

Before heading to the training center tomorrow, I will first say goodbye… .

​

Skip such cumbersome things.

​

First, I spoke to Rowen and Lionel.

​

“Rowen. You take Lionel over there to Venus and treat him well. Since it is the peak of 6 stars, it will be a great help in training the Venus Warriors.”

​

“Yes.”

​

“Lionel. You follow Rowen like me. Rowen will act on my behalf, and if you don’t listen, it will be considered a breach of contract.”

​

“… I understand.”

​

Rauf and I are leaving for training camp soon.

​

It would be the end for Erica if she went back bankrupt, but that wasn’t the case for Lionel. He decided to stay at Erica’s current residence and commute to Venus.

​

Later, when you rise up the ranks, you may be able to get a high rank as a captain.

​

Next, Erica.

​

“What will you do if you go back to bankruptcy?”

​

“What is it? Our kids must have lost their discipline, so I’ll have to go catch them soon.”

​

“You’re trying to relieve stress.”

​

“Well~ Not only that. I plan to expand my influence as much as that little guy supports me. If I ask for help later, I’ll have to send the kids there.”

​

Erica’s plan is like this.

​

He trains his subordinates to be able to accomplish whatever task he is asked to do.

​

If his capabilities are insufficient, he will have to go out himself, but in other cases, he will send his subordinates to gain as much freedom as possible.

​

This is mutually beneficial.

​

As Erica’s power grows, I can order more things, and the less work she has to do.

​

“Try hard.”

​

“Cancer~”

​

“Also, I would like the warlock to make the Venus Warriors’ weapons. Even if it’s not as good as Rauf’s armor, it’s better than the average level.”

​

“I’ll try my best. If you give me money, there’s nothing I can’t do. Because it’s not what I do. okay! I guess I should at least open a workshop at this point.”

​

“Rowen. If you don’t have enough private funds, raise money and provide support in the form of trading armor with them. It will come back to you in a big way.”

​

“If that’s the case, you can use Venus funds. I understand.”

​

“Also, four months later, the door to the tower opens. If possible, I plan to create a force at the tower, so everyone can prepare on their own.”

​

“Top?… .”

​

“Top? That’s good.”

​

Lastly, Rauf.

​

“You plan on hanging around Ronica at the training camp, right?”

​

“Of course.”

​

“Are you planning on revealing your identity yet?”

​

“I will decide after seeing what you do.”

​

“… Do whatever you want.”

​

I have nothing to say with this guy.

​

At the training center, we plan to train every night and share our swords.

​

All trivial conversations are over.

We all began our final training together.

​

​

​

​

​

​

Cologne~

​

Today, I finished my training quickly and went to sleep in my disciple’s arms.

​

In a dream.

This place is all ice.

​

Atrot, still arrogant, spoke to me.

​

[It’s quite hard to be lowly.]

​

[If you don’t want to help me, I hope you don’t care.]

​

[joy. I said I would watch over it, but instead of being honored, something so lowly showed dissatisfaction. You should pay no attention to whether I am watching or not.]

​

Although they are cold to each other, strangely, the conversation with Atrot never stops.

​

We made small talk while criticizing each other.

​

I would provoke him and have visions of my ability to manipulate ice, and he would express his displeasure or try to interfere with my actions in the real world.

​

He then laughed and said that he would watch closely to see how I would mess up with Ronica on the day of the festival.

​

[It’s surprising that you asked those around you for help, but I still wonder if I can get over it due to your personality. It will be a really fun attraction.]

​

[…] … … .]

​

I left this part unsaid.

​

Because I really can’t predict what will happen with my student.

​

I wish I could know the future… Isabelle said she couldn’t see it right away.

​

It is still in progress.

​

I don’t have any expectations anyway.

​

The reliability of his prophecy is within 30%. It’s an amazing ability, but it’s a shame.

​

Today I woke up from a dream without much success.

​

Inside the dream, it was a cold place full of ice, but outside the dream, I was in the warm arms of my disciple.

​

“It’s black~”

​

Likewise, Ronika, who woke up from a dream, hugged me and looked at the sunlight rising outside the window.

​

Now it’s time to leave for training camp.

​

​

​

*

​

​

​

In front of Venus.

A lot of people gathered.

​

“Two months is such a short time.”

​

“Sure.”

​

Hysterion said goodbye to Ronica.

​

“Since there was an attack last time, I will support you with a skilled Goliath knight as an escort. Go carefully.”

​

“Thank you. But this time, we’re taking our samurai with us, so you don’t have to worry!”

​

“Kkkeolkkeol… okay. See you later then.”

​

“Yes~”

​

Then Andrew said hello.

​

“Ronika~ I will definitely go to the festival. Do I need to stay healthy until then?”

​

“Of course! Andrew, exercise regularly and stay healthy!”

​

“Yes!~”

​

A glance.

​

Andrew looks at me and closes one eye.

The look in their eyes tells them to look forward to the festival.

​

I’m sure it will help you well.

​

“Fiona. You must stay close to Ronika. Got it?”

​

“Yes. Master recommends boiling the alcohol.”

​

“Oh my? Are you worried? But I can’t live without alcohol?”

​

“… Fiona is here!!”

​

“Hehehe~ Then, let’s cheer up at least to see Fiona.”

​

Fiona also finished saying hello to Isabelle.

​

Ronica and Fiona stood in front of the carriage and exchanged greetings with several people from Venus.

​

Organization members.

Orphanage children.

​

Just exchanging greetings lasts for dozens of minutes.

​

Many greetings came to me too.

​

Isabelle greets you with her eyes.

Rowen slightly bows his head.

hmm. Hysterion clears his throat.

​

I think I know what you’re talking about. I guess it means taking good care of Ronica and Fiona.

​

I nodded willingly.

​

“Captain. If anything dangerous happens, let us know through this. It is a communication tool that is only given out to first-level informants, and I made it into an accessory for the captain. You will be able to contact us through this.”

​

Finally, Rowen handed the bracelet to Ronica.

​

It was ordered directly from a famous wizard at a great cost, and as an information guild, they plan to continue to provide such means of communication in the future.

​

“Wow~ When did something like this happen!”

​

“I secretly used some effort.”

​

“Thank you, Rowen~ If anything happens, I will contact you right away.”

​

“Okay. Then not only me but all of Venus will go to protect it. Don’t worry.”

​

“Yes!”

​

“Hieeing!!~”

​

After saying hello, we got into the carriage and the coachman started driving. There were dozens of warriors and Goliath knights surrounding them.

​

Perhaps because of the previous attack and Ronika’s assassination, everyone seems to be very alert to their surroundings.

​

Ronica is young, but… It’s a big deal.

Honestly, this kind of treatment was natural.

​

I just refused until now because it was burdensome.

​

But now I didn’t hesitate.

​

Ronika feels it too. What kind of position are you in?

​

‘It’s all thanks to the nigger!’

​

It’s amazing.

​

Chairman Venus went out, receiving all the attention of the city residents.

​

For a dream.

​

​

​

*

​

​

​

Ronica arrived in the city of Meviron.

​

While I was here, I decided to stop by the Venus branch for a while to get some maintenance and then head to the training center.

​

“Welcome, Chairman~”

​

The branch manager who had welcomed us earlier welcomed Ronica and her group very warmly, provided them with meals and various packed lunches, and told them about the training center.

​

“More than 200 people have already entered the training center. There will already be a lot of people when you arrive.”

​

Ronica, who arrived the day before, was late.

Many cadets have already moved in.

​

That’s why I was happy.

​

“Then, you might be able to meet familiar faces right away when you arrive. I guess everyone is well?”

​

“Yes. I miss Lapis.”

​

Astradic.

Lapis.

Medis.

Aleph.

​

Relationships made at training camp.

​

Although they fought at first, most of them became friends due to the disciple’s generous heart.

​

Of course, excluding Medis.

​

I’m curious too.

​

How much stronger has Medisnom become in two months?

​

The training speed of the disciple with activated communication is abnormally fast, but it is still difficult to completely catch up with Medis.

​

My goal is to make Ronica capable of beating Medis at least before graduation.

​

He’ll be a good competitor.

​

You won’t be able to kill him by making a pact with Atrot, but you will be able to at least hit the pot, so you won’t have much to worry about.

​

But the most important thing is… .

​

festival.

tower.

​

These two things.

​

At the festival, he safely reveals his identity to his disciple and continues his relationship.

​

To fully awaken the disciple in the tower.

​

… There is a lot to do.

For now, time will pass quickly.

​

“Tskcha~ I’ve eaten so it’s time to go again!!~”

​

Ronica, who left the Venus branch, went back to the training center.

​

Green forest road.

Trees along the road that have been touched.

Thanks to this, the sunlight pouring in brightly.

​

Although the forest path is a little creaky.

Please, may our future be bright like this.

​

“Negro is sleeping~ heehee.”

​

With that thought in mind, I lay down comfortably on Ronica’s arms and fell asleep.

​

…

…

…

​

[Hoo~ Is this a nap?]

​

[…] … … .]

​

I saw Atrot’s face needlessly, but I just ignored it and rested until I arrived at the training camp.
