by fnovelpia“I never thought I would go to the royal family.”
“After all, it’s a training center. Is this the only place where aspiring warriors can attend the royal banquet?”
“I can’t go alone… .”
Astradic.
Lapis.
Aleph.
and.
“Inconvenient to go.”
“But it will be fun if you go!”
Fiona and Ronica.
The Ronica group gathered at the training hall were excited about the news of the banquet being held in the castle.
As soon as the tower climbing was completed without incident, an event was held at the royal castle to invite aspiring warriors. Of course, it couldn’t help but become a hot topic.
Even the entire Lonica group except Aleph was invited to the royal family.
Even through that high competition rate.
Of course, Astradic, Ronica, and Fiona were all highly skilled, so it was natural, but the addition of Lapis was unexpected.
Did you feel that question?
Astradic argued.
“Hey~ How did this senior get caught?”
“What is it? Why do you talk like that? How dare you mock a senior who is like the sky?”
“Are seniors not talented? How can a senior like this be the 31st representative?”
“You! Are you going to keep ignoring me? Even after all this, most of the training was in the top tier, right? And during the warlock incident, this body should have been very noticeable. Mhahaha!”
“I was lucky because of Ronika.”
“Luck is also a skill!”
Bickering.
They are still the same two people.
“Myo~♡”
When the two are in the middle of a fight, Myorin climbs on Ronika’s head, sings to me, and wags her tail. Moderately ignored.
For reference, it is now 3 days after climbing the tower. There are about two weeks left until departure.
As you can see, the topics of conversation so far are stories about the royal castle and things that happened at the tower.
However, Ronica ostensibly left the tower midway and became the listener, revealing that the reason was personal reasons. My friends didn’t really delve into the fact that it was a personal matter.
So normal everyday life.
Days of training and conversation were repeated.
Aleph, who was the only one excluded from the royal castle invitations, continued to appear on the outside, but he didn’t really care.
That’s because I’m training secretly with my teeth clenched.
Maybe we can get along well someday.
*
12 days have passed.
[We are leaving for the capital tomorrow. Now there will be something to see.]
Tsk tsk tsk.
Atrot was eating a round ball-shaped snack at the desk in his dorm room. Those are snacks I bought after going to the city alone with the allowance I received from Ronica.
It’s busy hanging around on random days or wandering around somewhere as it pleases, playing and eating.
The freedom I wanted so much… It is being used in such trivial places.
A guy who wastes mana needlessly.
Normally, it is a really useless spirit.
[What is it? Those eyes.]
“… Done.”
[You! Why did you make me feel so miserable!! How dare you be so rude to this body. It can be easily overlooked -]
“Reverse summon. No, it would be okay to stop receiving pocket money from Ronica.”
[-I can’t, though. This body will show generosity and especially forgive!]
I ignored it and looked out the window.
It is currently afternoon.
The student is receiving educational guidance.
“Strength… I hope it passes without incident.”
[What are you worried about? With your strength, you can devastate a country.]
“Then a hidden powerhouse will pop out from somewhere. Because the world is wide. I don’t really want to start a fight like that.”
[Phew. i get it. You’re saying that because you’re worried about that child. If I knew you, I wouldn’t have cared about that.]
“I will not deny it.”
If this continues, Ronica will reach mid-5 stars or higher before graduating from the training camp.
I was 16 years old when I graduated.
At that age, he becomes a strong instructor.
Of course, he would be a talent that the kingdom would covet.
That is the reason for this royal invitation to cadets.
The quality of the training center has improved significantly as it has experienced various incidents, been put through actual combat, and has been significantly reorganized, including rooting out corrupt instructors and uncovering corruption.
It is a self-evident fact that the reputation of the previous training center is being regained in real time, and as the level increases, stronger and more capable warriors will emerge.
In other words, calling 10 outstanding talents per group is to recruit future talents.
I will respect you no matter what… .
If a strange person covets my disciple, then this body will have to descend in person.
[Tsk tsk. I can clearly see what you are thinking. But just leave it alone. I think your student has amazing judgment.]
“… I think so.”
[But it would be fun to see something happening and going wild. So you can run wild.]
“… … … Are you telling me to do it or not? .”
[Pahaha! Do it in a fun way.]
“Hmm… .”
If you go on a rampage, the scale of the war will be minimal. No matter what country you are in, you have no choice but to be cautious.
Hysterion and Rauf also said:
King Leonis.
Caesar II.
He hid his strength.
He’s a dangerous guy.
Will I be able to see it in this castle?
I wonder if it could be harmful to my disciple.
Now that I’m on my way, I need to figure out what kind of guy he is.
*
next day.
An improved carriage with the royal seal was brought to the training center, and 30 elite cadets of the training center, including Ronika, shared the carriage.
“Did everyone take their personal weapons? Now I will explain some simple precautions.”
The leading instructor is Chalosi.
She started speaking right away.
royal banquet.
To summarize, it is like this.
You will stay at the royal castle for three days.
The kingdom’s famous warriors will attend.
Many nobles and sons participate.
In addition, quite a few people will attend.
The theme is only a celebration for aspiring warriors, but you may receive many recruitment offers in various ways, so choose wisely.
In other words, it has great significance in discovering talent.
There is also one important event.
A friendly match against a senior warrior.
Since it is a real sword battle, everyone is asked to bring their own weapons, and if they do not have one, they are asked to rent one from the training center.
Therefore, cadets can directly share swords with active warriors in the royal castle and seek feedback. It will be easy to build friendships in the process.
In addition, it is a perfect stage to build a reputation as many people attend.
What if you win in a fight with a volunteer soldier?
With the best equipment in the kingdom and all, he will rise rapidly.
It would be quite worth seeing.
“I will leave now.”
The carriage left the training camp.
As the carriage departed, Lapis, Astradic, Fiona, and Ronica sat together and chatted excitedly in anticipation of what would happen next.
It’s a rehash of a conversation I’ve already heard. Don’t you get tired of saying it again? .
Meanwhile, I was bored and blank.
No, I thought of Rauf.
That guy… .
They must have settled in the tower and formed a force by now, so I should at least ask about their current status.
Tiring~
◎︎ Spend 1,000p to send a message to the desired target. Those that can be sent are limited to those who have met and recognized the Awakening in person.
◎︎ Is the target rouf correct?
In response to my thoughts, the system automatically selected Rauf.
Communication between the tower and the rest of the world is difficult, but you can send a simple message by paying a certain public value.
Immediately, I sent a message.
[I want to know when they are coming, how they are doing, and how the others are doing. For your information, your daughter is doing well. Recognized as an outstanding warrior, he is heading to the royal palace.]
Was it a leisurely situation?
The guy responded right away.
Tiring!
◎︎ Rauf’s message has arrived.
[I am currently operating on the 20th floor and plan to descend within a few months. Venus is climbing the 9th floor and plans to descend after climbing the 10th floor, and Pasanchae is climbing the 12th floor.]
You idiots.
You’re doing great.
Grow up well.
Tiring!
◎︎ Rauf’s message has arrived.
Another message arrived. Due to the character limit, it was sent in two parts.
[Take care of your daughter until I come out. Also watch out for Caesar. His subordinate was watching my daughter in the tower. However, there appears to have been no purpose other than surveillance.]
Ohh?
This is unexpected news.
Caesar was spying on you.
I’ll have to keep an eye on this.
But is that all? If it were Rauf, he would have tortured himself to see if there was another purpose, but he said there was no purpose other than surveillance… .
It is a different type from a duke.
I guess they really could have just been monitoring.
Still not good.
The alert level needs to be raised.
I don’t know what’s going on inside.
Of course, there is nothing to do in the carriage right now. I was bored again.
In my eyes, I see Medis alone in the corner, lost in worry. His face shows that he doesn’t want to go with a serious face.
this guy. Is it possibly related to the royal family?
Do it. If you want to be at least as powerful as Medis, you have to have that level of power.
What kind of story does it have? .
I wasn’t expecting much, but it occurred to me that I asked Artrot.
[Artrot. I have something to ask.]
[hmm?]
A small translucent atrot appeared in front of me. It is a form that only I can see.
[Can you tell me what problems Medidis is suffering from?]
[Are you trying to get information from me? Unfortunately, I don’t want to tell you much.]
[So, are you tricking him under the pretext of solving Medis’ problem?]
[What a joke! It is taken care of.]
[hmm… .]
[…] ha. You keep treating me like trash, so let me tell you a little bit. Medis just wants freedom, and I can help a little. That’s all.]
[freedom?]
[That’s it. Since this is the information of the person who will become my contractor, I plan to protect it as the owner.]
[I am also your contractor… .]
[under? Don’t you think you can do your own thing? If you want to be protected by me, just kneel down and pray. Then I will take good care of you too.]
[…] … That damn knee came again.]
I couldn’t find any more information than this.
In this case, it would be faster to try Medis than Attrot.
Originally, I didn’t pay this much attention, but seeing Atrot keep hiding and Medis being manipulated makes me more and more curious.
Thoughts continue to occur in a chain.
Why did Medis follow Attrot?
Was it important enough to betray me in my past life?
Some time ago, Medis said that he should inherit the will of the first warrior. It’s definitely related to that… You want freedom again?
I have a vague sense of it.
Medis is being forcibly oppressed or manipulated due to issues related to the first warrior, and Atrot knows the secret and may be able to help.
Roughly this is the situation.
But I still don’t know the exact reason. I’ll find out later.
Should I take a rest first?
I curled up on my disciple’s thighs and had a good night’s sleep.
“Corolong~”
“Kya… The nigger started sleeping cutely again.”
“Oh. Our myorin is going to the black guy.”
“Myo~”
Rub rub rub rub.
As I was trying to fall asleep, Myorin rubbed my body.
“Sniff… .”
I was too lazy to deal with it, so I roughly grabbed its head, pulled it up, and crushed it.
“Cat clothes!?”
Lie down while riding on your back.
After a good night’s sleep feeling the soft texture of the fur, we arrived at the royal castle without incident.
*
“The cadets will arrive soon.”
yellow hair.
A neat young man’s impression.
2nd Prince Acelus.
He rested his chin on his quarters.
The training camp’s aspiring warriors will soon arrive, and a banquet will be held tomorrow.
The ostensible purpose is to interact with future talent. Therefore, many people, including nobles and prominent active warriors, attend the banquet.
And of course, he plans to participate as well.
In the first place, it was a banquet that was made possible by the sudden support of his father, the King, in supporting his goal of holding a meeting with aspiring warriors.
Thanks to this, I was significantly involved in the overall management of the event.
This is an opportunity.
To be on par with Prince 1, you need to be light on your butt. You need to attract as many talented people as possible and bring them into your power.
They will all grow up to be great when there is a fight over the throne in the future.
Also, it doesn’t hurt to be visible at the training center.
Acelus put a lot of effort into the training center corruption case and built indirect relationships with the training center director and influential figures called Hysterion.
They are not at all close to the central nobles, but that is why they can be their allies. Most of the central nobles are the 1st Prince faction, and Hysterion is the biggest opponent.
So, his schedule for today is as follows.
Build rapport by chatting with the Chalosi instructor.
Greet cadets naturally.
If possible, promise a position in advance and recruit those with a promising future.
I’ve already ordered all the cadets of interest who need to be treated well by my close associates.
He must plant as many talented people as possible to compete against the 1st Prince as his force. Because he doesn’t even have a personal knighthood.
I replayed the list of people in my head.
Cadet Felix, a wizard from Magic Tower.
An Astradic cadet from a prestigious sword school.
A Medis cadet whose information was concealed so that even he could not read it. Although it was optional, he appeased the 30th class of Elaric cadets, who are the current captains of the Light Moon Clan.
Several other outstanding and talented cadets.
And last.
“Cadet Ronica… .”
Second Prince Acelus muttered meaningfully.
This is the most unbelievable piece of information.
In the training center materials, it is said to be a 4-star and a supporter of Hysterion. This alone would be amazing, but it hasn’t even begun.
A hero cadet who played an active part in the warlock incident.
Unknown, but survived the Duke’s assassination.
also.
“Head of an organization called Venus… .”
He is the absolute leader of a large organization.
At first, this was something.
Venus is a new organization. Because it was a place I had never even heard of.
But the more I researched, the more absurd it became.
There are currently 12 branches in the kingdom.
A deep symbiotic alliance with Goliath.
A huge financial power that can support a small kingdom.
Information power high enough to carry out the affairs of the kingdom.
There are countless informants from Venus who are unknown and spread all over the place, as well as knights formed by themselves and numerous warriors being raised.
In particular, his body size has increased several times in recent months.
Of course, to become the head of such an organization, one must be very intelligent or very capable.
But why?
I am a young cadet attending training camp.
He is only 13 years old.
It’s hard to believe, but there was already a lot of circumstantial evidence.
A person praised by all the slum residents. No, he is a supporter of the residents who have now become a commercial district. I could find out just by researching up to this point.
She is the real head of Venus.
So I decided.
I will build friendships somehow.
In addition to his abilities, he is the head of a large organization and is probably very close to Hysterion. Even if you just attract that child, you will have a strong background.
I had no idea that such an important person would come here as a cadet… .
A very huge rice cake.
Of course, I can’t just watch. You have to approach first before someone takes it.
If possible… .
Right now.
