The mansion the president left behind is spacious.

It would be difficult to discuss all the internal facilities.

It’s been quite some time since I’ve lived here, but there are more facilities I haven’t used than those I have.

“Then… I will start the meeting, which may be held for an unknown number of times.”

-Thump thump

This place, where they playfully talk about having a meeting, is the same. There are many sofas in the spacious room so that people can talk.

Yeonhwa, who was making a knocking sound with her mouth, looked around.

The sofa was nearly full, and the participants were diverse.

Colorful humans. Tiny fairies and lyricists. Spirits that take on animal and human forms… even a baby unicorn that takes up an entire space.

Everyone had a serious expression on their faces. Yeonhwa nodded and opened her mouth.

“Let’s first gather opinions. Please give your opinions.”

“Imprisonment.”

“Incarcerated.”

“Confinement.”

[You should take him to the mansion and let him rest]

– I agree

– That’s right! The King needs to rest!

“I’ll take care of it at home for a while so it doesn’t cause any accidents. Oh, and from what I saw in the video, it seems to be flying around as a clone, so I’ll block that too. ”

“Well, the meaning is similar. I’ll just unify it as confinement. Anyway, everything passes. Starting today, I impose confinement on Lee Ha-yul in the mansion. ”

-Thump thump thump…

The meeting is over.

It took about an hour from the time the Tower of Growth was released to the time of arrest and detention. It took less than a minute from the presentation of opinions to the conclusion.

By the way, my defense was not included in the sentence. My face became blank as the sentence was decided in just one minute.

“That’s… ”

“What the heck is that?”

“Kkeuggeung… ”

[Guaak]

I opened my mouth for no reason and my lips were closed weakly. Yeonhwa looked down at me with her eyes wide open.

“I really need to beat you up. Is your body a toy? You take it off, put it back on, cut it, and grow it? ”

“Ughhhh… ”

[It’s unfair…]

“Unfair? Unfair, unfair?”

“I think the sentence should be increased.”

“I agree.”

Boos came from all sides.

Baek A-rin and Elia opened their eyes sharply, and Professor Riana and the teacher also raised their stern voices.

Even those who didn’t raise their voices didn’t have kind eyes. Realizing that I didn’t have anyone here, I felt a little sad for no reason. I pouted.

“Where did you get these lips… What’s so frustrating?”

Yeonhwa, who was laughing in vain, touched her pouting lips and asked. Sharp gazes came from all sides.

Even though my body naturally cringed at the thought, there were definitely parts of me that felt wronged.

[I didn’t know things would turn out like this…]

Add the three bells and thunderbolts. My intuition started to buzz as I calculated the estimate. But I couldn’t measure it accurately.

The risk and output of the unknown. So shouldn’t we figure out the extent of it?

But just in case I was in danger, I waited until I reached the top where both injuries and death disappeared.

It was actually the right choice. I knew the risks and the payoff, I grew, and I had no aftereffects at all…

“That’s not a function for self-harm. Why, I had to find out the limits of my body by putting a knife in it or checking how high my fear level goes?”

[No]

[No no no no no no no no]

[I don’t like it. Don’t do that. If you do that─hehe!]

“, surprise.”

The hand that had been roughly grabbing my butt cut off my voice. Yeonhwa blinked and hugged me as I trembled.

“Hong Yeon-hwa. Was it really necessary to grab your dad’s butt there?”

“… Ahem. Anyway, look. You reacted the same way. Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Didn’t I say that last time? ”

“That’s… I have nothing to say… ”

“Then of course it shouldn’t exist.”

Yeonhwa, who let out a snort, slowly stroked my back.

“Ha-yul, this is also taking into account the fact that it is inside the Tower of Growth. If you had used it outside… Really… ”

“Hic… ”

The lotus flower’s fear was laid low.

My body trembled in the cold, flickering flames. Also, the gazes flying around me were sharp like triangles.

My body, unable to bear the gaze, crumpled on its own and dug into Yeonhwa’s embrace…

‘It’s unfair…’

But I didn’t completely agree with it.

Of course, it’s not that there’s no mistake, but the only place to experiment with the three types was the Tower of Growth…

“Why, isn’t confinement enough? Confiscate my chest too?”

[Absolutely not…]

But since he took my food hostage, I had no choice but to accept the outrage…

.

.

.

Two days have passed since the first semester entrance exam ended.

During that time, I really couldn’t leave the mansion. It was the weekend after the tower was built, so I didn’t have to go to class.

Escape? I had no intention of doing so, and I couldn’t do it.

Wherever I went, I was always wrapped in wings that weren’t mine.

‘I didn’t give it to you as a gift to be used like this…’

The use of the winged garments that were tied up like ropes was truly absurd.

I clearly made it, but I couldn’t understand why I was being held captive…

“You can tell me that too… ”

[Gueeek…]

The squeaky necklace made a strange noise.

As I was wriggling like a caterpillar, Lee Ji-yeon, who was holding me in her arms, stroked my sad head.

… Even at this very moment, a green winged garment was tied around my waist.

“It’s true that my junior did something wrong, right? He acted carelessly… and he promised not to do it again.”

[Ugh…]

“You can’t always keep your promises, but you should at least try to keep them, right?”

[Ouch…]

I have no words to refute Lee Ji-yeon’s argument that is pouring out quietly. I keep my mouth shut and bury my face in my chest.

My face was buried deep in her ample chest. A warm and stable embrace. Lee Ji-yeon flinched slightly and gently patted my shoulder.

‘Ugh… ‘

… the two days of confinement were not uncomfortable.

I’m not the type of person to wander around outside if I don’t have work to do.

It’s not that I can’t practice.

Just like now, you can train in the mansion grounds or training grounds. Of course, you have company to prevent any strange behavior.

I wasn’t bullied either.

I was stroked and held in his arms and fell asleep. I was occasionally scolded and educated about the things that happened at the tower, and I ate as much food as I wanted, even though it was almost taken away from me…

‘happiness…’

In fact, I wouldn’t call it a time of punishment. Rather, it was an incredibly happy time…

“… Ahem. Anyway, let’s try again.”

Jiyeon Lee, who had been looking down at me with a strange expression, spoke with a small nod. When I lifted my head, Jiyeon Lee tapped the floor.

“Shall we start with the basic operations we learned earlier?”

[yes]

I put my feet on the floor and operated the mountain.

-Kuuung…

There was a ripple in the ground and a small pillar rose up. Lee Ji-yeon touched the pillar of earth.

“You said that the seam is created unconsciously?”

[yes]

Several patterns were briefly revealed on the pillars. The patterns created by digging grooves gave off a rather antique feel on the outside.

“Is this influenced by the junior’s unique ability?”

[When I think about the horror… I think so]

I nodded and put a candle in my hand.

Flames that are close to orange and yellow. They dance beautifully and approach you.

“… This also seems to be the case when you see something pretty.”

Lee Ji-yeon looked scared with a strange expression on her face.

Although it would normally be an extremely dangerous action, Nae-Gyeop-Hwa instead clung to Lee Ji-Yeon’s hand as if acting cute.

‘It must be the influence of the all-rounder.’

It will not only affect my physical appearance, but also my fear and my fate.

“Other than that…the output is just increased.”

[Yes]

There are three main functions of Taesan.

Manipulation of the Earth. The manipulation of life and the art of divination are derived from it.

Of course, both functions have been greatly improved in terms of land manipulation.

The scope of manipulation has become broader and more detailed, and the scope of manipulation has become freer and more convenient.

‘The commanding officer…’

He tapped the ground with his toe. Kukukung! The ground split apart next to the pillar and Aerus raised himself up.

‘As expected, the correction has gone up a lot.’

I nodded while gauging Aerus’ momentum. Even though I didn’t touch him, his level had increased.

“The director is… a monster that was in Shipnaha.”

Jiyeon frowned as she saw Aerus. Her green eyes that soon turned to me showed a hint of worry.

“Is it okay to keep this and use it?”

[Yes? Yes, yes. Of course.]

I nodded and kicked Aerus’ leg. Aerus flinched and took a few steps back.

[I’m still using it well. The control is perfect, so there’s no need to worry.]

It is a monster with the potential to reach the 3rd tier alpha.

Even though I got my head blown off, became a commander, and my level was fixed, my potential never went away.

‘and…’

I raised my head to show Nanjiyeon. Although my eyes were not open, anticipation was evident on my face.

[Now that Taesan has been properly manifested, you can learn the command expansion ability as well]

“That’s true.”

[It will be much more useful if you learn the expansion ability]

The expansion ability of Taesan also reaches the command line. Among them, the one I have my eyes on is none other than this.

‘Growth of the Commander.’

A corpse and soul that have already died cannot grow. Life has stopped, so there is no way to move forward.

However, if it is the expansion ability of Taesan, it is possible if you only decide on a few individuals.

That’s why I made Aerus my commander and used him.

Monsters with 3rd tier alpha level potential are incredibly rare.

If I can grow that and get it to that level and handle it… it will be a really, really big help.

“… Junior. Are you consistently practicing filling your body with energy? ”

[Of course]

While looking forward to the future.

Jiyeon Lee, who was looking down at my face, suddenly said this.

He looked calm, but his expression seemed to be filled with worry. He closed his mouth for a moment, then tapped the ground with his heel.

Woohoo! The ground shook with waves and life began to stir. Soon, flowers bloomed between the green grass.

A purple flower. It was Agapanthus.

‘Why did it have to bloom like this?’

He touched the flower gently with the tip of his foot, making a strange expression.

Then, he drew out the life energy that was buried underground. The life energy that rose from the tips of his feet accumulated in his body.

“… Yes, the operation is much smoother. Absorption in the body… works well.”

[Ticklish]

Lee Ji-yeon, with a complicated expression on her face, caressed my stomach.

After enjoying the touch for a while, he came out of my arms, wriggling.

[Ahem ahem. Now that the final check is done, I’ll give it a try for real.]

I flapped my three pairs of wings with a small voice. Woof! The thought that started from the wings spread throughout the mansion.

After a while, those who had been called came.

-Your Majesty, why did you call me?

[You came just now? Wait a minute.]

-Yeah, hehe…

-Ah! Your Majesty, me too! Please pet me too.

Fairies I brought from the previous dungeon.

As I was petting the children who were raising their heads, the last child soon came.

“Dad, did you call?”

[Yeah… I’m here… ]

I hid my face that was about to turn pale.

Pure white hair that reaches down to her waist. Five-colored wings that sparkle softly. Eyes as beautiful and pure as snow.

… I couldn’t deny it now.

Seo Yul now had a perspective that was a little bit, a little bit higher than mine.

“How is your training going?”

[Graham… It’s going well…]

“Hehehe, I’m glad you said that. By the way, why did you call me that?”

Seoyul, who was smiling, tilted her head and asked. I cleared my throat and drew an empty space with my finger.

[I have something to show you by gathering the fairies]

“Only fairies?”

[Yeah, fairies]

I nodded while searching through the empty space.

When I went into the dungeon with Lee Ji-yeon and brought the fairies with me.

Just in case, I brought the dead fairy tree that the fairies had been living in into the space.

‘Since Taesan has been created, I should try.’

Today I plan to revive the fairy tree.
