Ansync, like the original, limited classes to once a week. I also knew that the reason was because of his livelihood and daughter. He was like that in the original, too, so he wasn’t particularly dissatisfied. I will find the best training method for me anyway.
“I will give you an assignment instead. On weekends, I will adjust the class and sparring to 8:2.”
“Okay.”
I received training from Ansync on simple exercise methods and spearmanship. It was unfortunate that it was once a week, but I also have school work and work, so it would be mutually beneficial to limit it to this extent.
Above all, Ansync itself is not the type to take care of everything from start to finish. After he told me what was lacking or what I needed to know. He gives a practice method for it as an assignment, and measures whether he has mastered it well through sparring.
If you haven’t mastered it, repeat the process with feedback. If you get it, move on to the next one. In other words, teaching how to fish is the way of Ansync.
“By the way, Woros, are you popular?”
“Yes?”
While repeating the stabbing posture Anne Sink taught me, he suddenly said that. Johnny tilts his head in incomprehension, and Anne Sink puts a hand on his chin and thinks.
“Nothing. Try practicing as I told you.”
“Okay.”
Ann Sink left Warros behind, left the clearing, and put his hand in the shadow under a tree in the corner.
“Ugh!”
“Come out.”
A red-haired woman who was dragged helplessly by Ansync. She looks at Ansync as if she is embarrassed.
“What are you?”
“I’m just passing by, oops!”
The cape the red-haired woman was wearing was taken off by Ansync’s hand. At the same time, the red-haired woman’s disguise is broken, revealing her true self. Silver hair and red eyes. Ansync’s eyes narrowed while looking at her.
“Looks like he’s from the Blood side. Did you think I wouldn’t know if you were hiding like this?”
“Hey, that’s… “
“What I am aiming for… It seems I’m not. Is it Woros?”
Ann Sink clenches his fists. Irina, who confirmed that, shook her head violently.
“My name is Irina Blood. I am the younger sister of the Woros brother over there.”
“Your sister? Okay. But why does your sister keep an eye on Woros like that?”
“Hey, that’s… “
“No. As for the authenticity, you can ask Woros—”
“No!”
With all her strength, Irina frees Ann Sink from her hands, falls to her knees on the floor, and grabs Ann Sink’s leg.

“You, what are you doing! Wake up!”
“Oh, you can’t tell my brother. Please. Please don’t.”
“Kuh, ah, okay, I got it! If others see it, they will misunderstand it, so get up quickly!”
“No, promise me you won’t tell me.”
“Wake up quickly!… Hey, I promise, get up!”
Ansync forced Irina to stand up. He looks to his left and right as if he is embarrassed.
“Everything, don’t do things like this from now on. Other people are fine, but if my daughter sees this… “
“Sorry.”
“Well, if it wasn’t an enemy, that’s fine. I have a bad relationship with someone from the Blood family, so I apologize for reacting sensitively. Now go back spin… “
Irina is in tears. Looking at her like that, Anne Sink sighs without being able to follow her words.
“I see what happened. Please explain. If it’s a story that makes sense, I’ll allow you to observe.”
“That… “
“If you can’t talk, go back. I’m going to teach my secret skill to Woros, so anyone can—”
“I will tell you.”
Irina bowed her head. She decided that if it was Worth’s teacher, it would be all right for her to tell her about her current situation, and she told her everything. Actually. She was in the mood to confide in someone and be lighthearted, so she was close to confiding in it.
“… You have surpassed the level of a sibling fight.”
“Because it’s good even from a distance. I want to see my brother. Therefore… “
“Haa… i get it. Don’t pretend you don’t know Instead, I am not responsible for any mistakes you make.”
“Thank you.”
Ansink sighed and walked towards Woros.
“Hey Woros! You put too much strength in your arms! Take a good look. I’ll show you an example.”
Ansync said that, and demonstrated the movement with the spear he had stolen by beating the adventurer who was arguing with him.
Ansync is more motivated than usual. Probably because the woman is watching.

Tadaktadak!ㅡ
In the forest connecting Districts 2 and 3, a bonfire was lit and rabbits Ansink had caught were being roasted. Ann Sink was sitting on the floor, sipping his drink.
“Woros, is the reason you came to me suddenly wanting to become stronger because of bullying?”
“That’s right.”
“There must be many competent instructors in the Blood family, so why did you bother to come to me?”
“That… “
After thinking for a while, I looked straight at Ansync.
“Because I know that Master Ansync is hostile to the Blood family.”
“Yes, if you are a Blood person, you cannot know me. I’ve beaten and killed several people there. So what does it have to do with me being hostile to the Blood family and you coming to see me?”
“Actually. Because I am the heir to the Blood family… No, because I came through that position, there was something I could see.”
I took out a ripe rabbit and handed it to Ansink.
“The Blood family must disappear. Because I know the internal situation well, I came to think that way even more.”
“That’s how it happened. After all, she was an excuse to be bullied.”
“No. She almost died at the hands of a student some time ago. I felt the need for the strength to defend myself. I’m the student-“
“Now, now, wait, that, stop talking about that. Tell me about the Blood family.”
The younger sister who only revealed her existence. She’s about to talk about Irina in detail, but Ann Sink cuts her off. It seems that they want to hear about the Blood family rather than my story.
“Master, can you keep this a secret?”
“Yes, no matter what the Blood family plots, I will not stand up.”
“Yes. It must have been 300 years ago. The case in the past when Melgard cut off the head of the demon king.”
“… Devil?”
“Yes, it’s not a big deal like the demon lord’s resurrection. A part of the demon king’s body is kept in the Blood family.”
Ansink’s face, which had been making a blank expression a moment ago, was immediately filled with seriousness.
“No way… “
“Yes. It is a situation where the power from the body was transplanted to the current head of the Blood family. Fortunately, I am not ready to use that power.”
“So, will you increase your strength to stop it?”
“Yes. You can’t even ask someone for help. There are watchers in the academy. It is a demon summoned by the Blood family.”
“There is even a devil? That’s true.”
I thought about talking about Heylia, but she gave up. She must always keep secrets about Heylia. Because if she does something wrong, her demon dwelling in her will return to the Blood family.
If that happens, I’m sure I’ll tell the family about the connection between me and Shaiza, so I have to move Heylia according to the story. And even if Heylia is defeated, it is certain that the demon will parasitize on another student and return to the academy.
For that reason, it would be easier for me to control Heylia, as I know the circumstances, leaving the demon dwelling.
“Although part of it, in order to handle the demon lord’s power, you need a body with great resistance to the demon lord’s power.”
“… There was only one.”
“Yes, Melgard’s body. They aim for Melgard’s body, and they always attack the academy. That’s when it’ll be your chance to strike out. Because Blood’s head is hidden inside a powerful seal, he cannot be defeated unless he comes out himself.”
Have you heard the word Melgard’s body? Ann Sink narrows his eyes after gulping his drink.
“Is Melgard’s body asleep in the academy?”
“Yes”
After hearing my answer, Ansync closes its eyes and thinks.
“Melgard’s body is inside the barrier created by Arisha herself, so it is impossible to move it. Besides, the Watchers of the Blood family are keeping an eye on you, so it’s not good to move hastily.”
“…… “
“In fact, inside the academy, there is a portal connected to the home base of the Blood family. The demon I mentioned earlier used ancient magic to install it. It’s not working yet. When it opens… “
“Are you going to strike out then?”
I nodded. At the end of Part 3, the portal planted by the Blood family opens. Monsters and powerful assassins who live in the swamp area where the Blood family’s stronghold is located will come in. Part 3 itself is full of foreshadowings of the Blood family, so at that point Rin and Ren knew that fact in advance.
Since Rin and Ren informed the academy about the Blood family in advance, effective defense was possible. In the end, though, Melgard’s body was stolen. That’s fine too. It is certain that Rin and Len’s party, which passed through the portal, will fight to the death with the head of the Blood family to get it back.
In the first place, the portal opened by the Blood family could only be used by blood of Blood. Or a monster with no ego.
Anyway, except for the people of the Blood family, Rin and Ren have a unique skill related to ancient magic. And it was a situation where up to four people, including herself, could cross the portal with the ability of her unique skill.
Rin and Len cross the portal. Naturally, those four are the four party members chosen by the main character. No one else, only the main character can cross the portal. In addition, the party members who have overcome various dangers for two years are also nearby. Under such circumstances, of course, it was the main character party’s role to bring back Melgard’s body.
On the side of the Blood family, Irina cannot be included in the party. She said that if Irina obtains According to her story, she will automatically side with Rin and Ren, otherwise she will side with the Blood family.
Irina, who has turned into her enemy, receives an ally modifier that has become her enemy, and her abilities are strengthened. She receives the power of the demon king and gains great power at the cost of her life. If that happens, she’ll have to do the boss fight twice, so her difficulty level will increase drastically.
I don’t know if it’s a game, but it’s a situation where her fate is also at stake, so I had to prevent Irina from turning into an enemy.
Well, it should be fine since we have a safety device in place for that part. Thinking that far, I looked at Ann Sink and opened her mouth.
“I made a plan of my own. Perhaps that day will be the last for the Blood family.”
“I see. Does anyone know about that fact?”
“Right now, I alone know. Even if you destroy the portal beforehand. It would just install it somewhere else. In that case, I think it’s more beneficial to hold your breath and watch the situation.”
“Is that so?”
Ann Sink nodded and took a bite of the rabbit meat.
“Come to think of it, didn’t she say she had a younger brother in first grade? Aren’t you going to tell your brother?”
“Yes”
“What if the younger brother sided with the family?”
“When that time comes, I believe that my brother will be hostile to the Blood family.”
“I see. Woros, I just want to say one thing that I’m sorry for you.”
“Yes?”
Ansync stands up and stretches.
“Don’t ask why. Let’s stop here for today.”
“… All right.”
“You must practice according to the assignments I gave you. Well, you’ll find out if you’ve been fooling around or not if you try sparring next week.”
Ansync said that and smiled. He lifts me up

Confirming that Woros was fully restored, Ansync Cavian took a sip of the brew in front of the campfire. Then, she was a red-haired woman. A disguised Irina Blood approached him.
“Sit down.”
“Yes.”
Irina sits facing Ansync in silence. Ann Sink gives her one of her rabbit meat.
“I didn’t know Worros would tell me everything like that. I thought a lot because I knew you were listening to Woros’ story. Should I stop talking about it?”
“… Why did you leave it alone?”
“I am. Aside from his fighting sense, he has a great talent.”
“…… “
“It is the eye that sees people.”
Ansync said that and took a sip of alcohol.
“Your expression and tone you showed me earlier. And even breathing at that time. I felt that you were sincerely thinking of Woros.”
“…… “
“Did you hear that? When the day of the decisive battle comes, I said that I believe that you will make a normal decision.”
“Yes.”
“So you also know what to do?”
“… Yes”
Ansync laughed.
“I have seen people with dead eyes many times in my life. My teacher also died with eyes like that. Those eyes are It is an eye that can rust even the best warriors.”
“I don’t understand.”
“You are a pretty strong kid. You know how strong your opponent is when you pretend. That means you had dead eyes.”
“Ah.”
“I hate those dead eyes. What are your grades?”
“I am the chief.”
Ann Sink nodded.
“The chief of Melgard. Also, my eyes weren’t wrong. Perhaps, if time passed with dead eyes, he would fall from the top and become a regular student.”
“…… “
“If you truly care about your older brother, do not neglect training. As you may have heard, Woros is fighting a lonely battle. Who will help him?”
Irina’s eyes widened at Ansync’s words.
“The fact that Woros just confided is, Woros and I. And only you know. ‘Cause I’m not going to get involved In fact, it’s a fact that only you and Woros know about.”
“I see… “
“Okay, stay senior and build strength. You explained that you wanted to apologize to your brother. If you mean it, show it with your actions.”
Hearing those words, Irina stood up.
“If you want to protect your brother, protect him yourself. But you shouldn’t be the main character. Because Woros is hiding his true identity in the Blood family. Pretend you don’t know until he comes out, he’d better keep quiet. He’ll be hated forever if he steps out and misses the job?”
“Okay. Excuse me… That, thank you.”
“Ruby Cavion.”
“Yes?”

Ann Sink gets up, stomps on his campfire and smiles.
“This is the name of my daughter who will be entering Melgard next year. If she appreciates me, take good care of her.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Go ahead.”
Irina bows to Anne Sink and hurries down the road where Worros passed. Ann Sink looks at Irina’s back, and she makes a complicated expression.
“It may be difficult now, but… One day there will be an opportunity to reconcile.”
After saying that, Ansink opened the lid of the bottle and gulped down.
Wingman deployed.
