258 – Waves (1)
From then on, Theo’s life was very simple.
After the academy class ends, she goes straight back to her room, practices energy, and then goes to bed.
Since dinner was prepared by Amy, he looked like a person who had built a wall between herself and the world.
······It was Friday afternoon, about two weeks after Theo took the [Demon Sword].
The main content of this week’s class was exploring a mock dungeon.
In order to improve students’ ability to deal with challengers, the department prepared a mock dungeon focusing on humanoid monsters.
The students were busy exterminating the endless waves of monsters.
“Mr. Ai, I’m so f*cking surprised! “I thought you were a person!”
“Everyone wear a band around your head! “It’s confusing because there are so many monsters.”
However, Theo team was quiet.
Alice, who was holding a bow in the rear, yawned.
“Haaa~ The front line takes care of everything, so there’s not much to do.”
Ceria, who was next to her, answered.
“Huh, that’s right. I fall asleep because I don’t do anything. Should I be happy or sad about this…”
The two people looked ahead with languid eyes.
In front, Theo, Irene, and Alps were literally slaughtering humanoid monsters.
Theo lightly swung his sword and cut the humanoid monster in front of him in half.
“Hmm, Irene. Let’s both take a break for a while. “If we both catch them all, our share of the Alps will disappear.”
“I understand, Theo.”
Irene responded by splitting the humanoid monster in half.
The two men sheathed their swords, went back, crossed their arms, and watched Alps fighting three humanoid monsters at the same time.
“Ugh… Ugh! Ha, yay!”
Alps whined as he faced three humanoid monsters at the same time.
“Haap!”
At the same time as she cut off one guy’s arm, she spun around and used a skillful technique to cut off the ankles of the guy behind her.
Theo calmly nodded his head and commented.
“Now it seems like all fear of dealing with humanoid monsters has disappeared. “The best way is to keep doing it until it works.”
“That’s right. At first, I was wondering if Ms. Alps could do it… But she did it in a short period of time, huh?”
“It has to happen. “There are two people providing dedicated coaching.”
To be exact, there were three people.
As soon as Nay saw the Alps, like Theo, she saw clearly that her biggest problem was her mindset.
─Hmm. It’s a silver child. To me, that white kid seems to have solid basic skills. However, the posture of holding the sword was very awkward, and it seemed like he had a great fear of cutting something with the sword. In times like these, practice is the answer. Of course, if you push it blindly, it could actually be worse, so stay nearby so that the child can feel safe when he or she is active.
Under the strict care of the three people for two weeks, Alps’ skills rapidly improved in a short period of time.
Irene said to Theo, who was lost in reminiscence for a moment.
“But as expected, new things are new things. “It’s an artifact that chooses its own owner… I’ve only heard of it, but this is my first time seeing it in person.”
Irene looked at the [Demon Sword] Tied to Theo’s waist.
Not long ago, she contacted ‘that’ with Theo’s permission.
However, as soon as I made contact, I heard a strangely interrupted voice. The sensation made the hairs on her body stand on end, causing her to stop making contact after less than a minute.
Approximately a week ago, Maximin, the owner of the Chalon family, announced that Theo had been chosen for the first time in history by the Chalon family’s new possession.
The aftermath was severe. It became an unstoppable wave.
Within a few days, Theo became a topic of conversation, ‘Isn’t he the best talent on the continent?’ Articles related to Theo are making headlines in all media outlets on the continent.
Although it was a happy situation where her fiancé was praised, Irene could not be happy.
‘······No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange.’
Even though Theo has become a completely different person in the past few months, she knows very well his rascally childhood. It was difficult for her to erase the feeling of discomfort that filled her heart.
‘······I need to urge the adults again.’
I know that most of the Aslan family members are currently working hard to interpret the text written by Theo.
However, we must hurry. You have to run faster.
Now that Theo has been chosen by the Chalons family, she doesn’t have much time left…
* * *
Today’s classes are all over.
All abstinence training has been completed.
Students gathered in the dome stadium gathered in groups of twos and threes and chatted.
“Wow… This week is finally over. “I thought my whole body was falling apart.”
“That’s right, that’s right. It was too much to put me in a mock dungeon every single day. Are you crazy? “I broke my arm twice this week alone.”
“The first place winners this week are all Team Theo, right?”
“Yes.”
“Wow, that’s really ridiculous. Haven’t you really awakened? “I heard you were chosen by a god.”
“Seriously, does that seem possible? “After listening to the instructors, I heard that her individual form has improved tremendously.”
“Ugh. I don’t think something like that will happen… Where are the 2nd and 3rd place teams?”
“I guess it’s Team Nike and Team P.L.?”
“Ah, I expected those two teams. Ugh, next week will focus on physical training, so I guess I’ll have to come up with a strategy in the meantime. If this continues, I think I’ll end up in the bottom tier.”
“Phew wow…. It’s not easy to stay at the top. Anyway, everyone worked hard this week. “Should we all eat out at least once?”
“······Why are you looking at me?”
“You should have done well when it comes to cursing. “We drove the carriage, so pay the boarding fee.”
“You bastard cowardly fight with facts. Tsk… I understand. “Let’s go eat some meat for the first time in a while.”
“Yeah~”
Theo, who was also in the dome stadium, spoke to his teammates.
“Everyone worked hard this week. Get some rest over the weekend. “Then that’s it.”
Seria smiled seductively and opened her mouth.
“Huh. This week’s training is over. How about having dinner together, Theo? We haven’t had dinner together since last week. Please pay attention to us too.”
Alice next to me helped.
“That’s right. Or at least we do training together. Since last week, I’ve been just watching from behind, so I feel like I’ve lost my sense of actual action.”
Theo calmly shook his head.
“I’m sorry. I had to go to my parents’ house urgently. “I’ll just go.”
Yesterday, Theo received a report from Amy that the atmosphere in Polaris, the city where Balderk Castle is located, was unusual.
The point is that minor bombings continue to occur within Polaris.
In this work, after the bombing that led to Balderk Castle, the story of Eisha taking over the Balderk family began in earnest.
The culprit is most likely [Turning White].
Although it occurred much earlier than the original work, a ‘bomb’ terrorist attack is not a common incident.
‘I guess I should take Aisha too.’
Immediately, Theo snatched Aisha, who was squealing with his teammates.
Surprised, Isha looked up at Theo with her rabbit-like eyes.
“Well, what is it? “Theo.”
“Follow me, Eisha. “I have urgent work to do.”
“Can we just go after dinner? “I made a reservation at this restaurant two weeks in advance.”
“It’s a family affair.”
“······Heh. I’m sorry to all of you. “I would like you to eat dinner separately.”
Theo came out of the dome stadium with Eisha, who was excessively covering her mouth with both hands.
“Wait a moment.”
Theo took out the communication crystal ball from his arms and contacted Taylor. He gave to Taylor and Irene respectively what he had received from Sonya earlier.
‘Taylor would be quite helpful.’
Before going to school today, I asked him for his cooperation.
Not long after, Taylor received a call.
─Hello, Deputy Manager. Class just ended.
─I was waiting for you to contact me. So is it currently near the dome stadium?
─Yes. Eisha is also going with us.
─Yes. I’ll take the carriage right away. It’s nearby so we’ll be there in 5 minutes.
─Thank you.
That’s how the call ended.
Eisha said to Theo.
“Hello. “So, am I going to Polaris right now?”
“Yes.”
“Then at least tell me in advance. I have a lot to take care of. “You have to take care of your clothes, you have to take care of your cosmetics…”
There was no time for that. If Eisha starts packing, it will take at least an hour.
Theo said.
“It’s urgent. For those things, use the items in Balderk Castle.”
Theo took out her money bag from [Ah Space Bag] And showed it to Eisha and continued.
“Or I’ll buy it for you after we get to Polaris. “Is this not enough?”
Isha looked inside her money bag.
“Chu, that’s enough.”
The inside of the money bag was full of gold coins. This is a large amount of money that will last even if you eat out for four years while attending the academy.

Eisha’s pupils shook.
‘Is this really… A date request?’
I know that Theo likes me. He is a very shy man, so he may be expressing it in a roundabout way.
Eisha asked.
“I… Theo. But where did this money come from? “I understand that you don’t receive a separate allowance from your family.”
“I earned it at the price of courage.”
Theo said calmly.
The source of the money was from a private gambling club held among students.
After he noticed that a gamble was being held to guess which team would come in first place, he had been betting that his team would come in first place.
He even repeatedly bet all of his winnings on his team being first place.
In that way, Theo did not lose money once for two weeks and became a legendary fighter with a whopping 10 consecutive wins…
Theo was waiting for the carriage with Eisha.
“Hey, you! I told you to visit the chairman’s office! Or he said he came looking for me!”
I encountered an unexpected person.
“Hello, Chairman.”
Theo bowed his head to Luna.
