288 – Champagne Supernova (3)
After some time.
The companions informed Theo that he had arrived safely.
Theo spoke to Adrien, who was drinking water in succession.
“They say they’ve arrived. “Let’s go.”
“Yes. “Just take another sip of water.”
“You drink a lot of water. Is that also one of the habits of practitioners of light?”
Adrien shook his head.
“No. “I want to wash out the inside of my mouth.”
As Adrienne said that, she remembered the taste of mint chocolate latte.
Kkiik.
Theo and Adrien came out of the dormitory building.
Sienna, P.L., And Jang Woo-hee were near the bench in front of the building.
Tadadadak─
As soon as Sienna saw Theo, she ran towards him with her arms wide open.
“Teooooo~ Did you find me first? “I was so impressed!”
Tap, thump, thud.
Theo avoided Sienna’s charge with forsythia steps. Then he looked at his three companions and said.
“Thank you all for coming. “Let’s leave right away.”
“Yes. By the way, where is your destination? “Who is that person?”
Piel looked at Theo and Adrien alternately.
Theo looked around.
‘I don’t see anyone I need to pay special attention to.’
Not far away, numerous reporters, guild and state officials were with their eyes shining.
Theo opened his mouth.
“I’ll explain that as I go. “A carriage is coming just now.”
A carriage was coming from afar. This was the carriage that Adrien came in.
Rattling.
A carriage stopped in front of them.
“I will take you safely.”
A muscular driver with a large ax on his back opened the carriage door.
It looked quite unique for a driver, so P.L. And Jang Woo-hee glanced at the driver and got into the carriage.
After everyone got on board, the driver sat back in the driver’s seat and said.
“I’m leaving. The destination is headquarters. “Please understand that the ride may be rough.”
Rattling, rattling──
A carriage carrying five people departed.
* * *
The headquarters of the Church of Light is located in the Holy Kingdom, located in the center of the continent.
The Holy Kingdom is located in the southern part of the continent.
In other words, it is quite far from Ellinia Academy, so it takes almost two days to get there.
As soon as we set off, Theo had us name each other and briefly told us about our destination, purpose of gathering, etc.
Adrien spoke from inside the shaking, shaking carriage.
“Everyone, take a break. “It won’t arrive until tomorrow evening at the earliest.”
Piel responded, narrowing her eyes.
“······You are a true practitioner of light?”
“Yes. “Is there a problem, Pierre de Chalon?”
“Because it wasn’t the image I imagined.”
Adrien asked.
“What image did you imagine?”
“Isn’t that… A bit quiet and profound? That kind of image.”
In Piell’s eyes, Adrienne looked like an older student at the academy. She looks like she could be considered her age, with long wavy black hair and dark eyes that look like they have smokey makeup.
Adrien chuckled.
“I’m used to it. Many subjects thought so. Oh, don’t say that to other guys.”
“Why?”
“I won’t leave you alone just because you’re cute. Especially that sullen b*tch, Britney.”
Piel puffed out her chest with an indifferent expression.
“I am not one to give in to people like that.”
At those words, Theo looked at Piel, Sienna, and Jang Woo-hee.
‘Yes, don’t give in. ‘That’s why I brought you here.’
P.L., Sienna, Woohee Jang.
Among the people he can mobilize quickly, they are the craziest and strongest.
‘All three have a clear sense of purpose.’
The reason they did not bring the strongest Neike was because they had no sense of purpose.
Because Neike is like a white piece of paper, he is easily affected by the madness of the practitioners of light.
However, the three people above will not be affected by the madness of the practitioners of light, and will only steadily learn the parts that they feel good about.
‘Especially P.L.’
In addition to Adrien, most of the practitioners of light are martial artists with slim builds.
If you are as talented as P.L., You will make great progress just by spending a few days together.
Her talent can be counted on one hand even across the continent. She is a S EX level genius with a salary at Shinhwa Elementary School.
While I think so.
“hehehe, Theo. What are you thinking like that? Umm~ What do you think~?”
Sienna came to the seat next to her and clung to Theo.
Theo muttered.
“Let go, Sienna.”
“hehehe, I don’t like it. It disappeared as quickly as before. Like Theo said, I’ve only been training with the kid so far, right? “I will make up for it all today.”
Sienna hugged Theo tightly with both her arms.
Perhaps because he felt such a soft touch, Theo had a hard time controlling his facial expressions.
So, we practiced Korean folk sedation therapy that has been handed down over a long period of time.
From Noble mtl dot com
‘Until the East Sea and Baekdu Mountain dry and wear out…’
At that time, Ney said.
─Is that right? Oh boy, your composure is finally shaking! Opportunities like this don’t come often.
─······What are you saying, Nei?
─Try circulating your energy right now! The opportunity to practice in these situations does not come often.
─If you make even a small mistake, you will suffer internal injuries.
─I am doing this to avoid that. A true warrior must be able to maintain composure in any situation. Isn’t there a saying like this? Her head is cold, her chest is hot.
─I think it is an inappropriate word to use in times like this…
While saying that, Theo shifted his cross-legged stance and assumed a posture of rotating his meat.
Because Ney’s words were plausible.
‘There’s a woman next to me, and she’s posing like a monk practicing Taoism.’
Adrienne shook her head when she saw the strange sight.
‘······Let’s not try to understand him with my common sense.’

The next evening.
The carriage carrying five people arrived at the church headquarters.
The headquarters of the church was magnificent, befitting its status as the largest religion in mankind. It was comparable in size to the imperial palace of the empire. There was everything on the headquarters building site, including a boot camp, blacksmith shop, park, and cafe.
Instead of entering the main entrance of the headquarters, the carriage entered one of the many back entrances.
Piel asked Adrien.
“Uh… Where are we going now?”
“The first virtue of a practitioner of light is secrecy.”
The carriage passed between twisted maze-like buildings.
Rattling.
The carriage stopped inside a shabby building. Unlike other noisy areas, it was a deserted place.
“We have arrived. It was an honor to serve you.”
The driver opened the door.
Five people got off the carriage one after another.
Adrien said as he put the key in the door of the shabby building.
“Let’s go in.”
Four people followed her in.
Piel’s eyes widened.
“Oh… It’s completely different from outside?”
The interior was luxurious.
Not only was it equipped with state-of-the-art weight training facilities unlike any other training center at the Warrior School, but there was also a bright resting area. The bookshelf is filled with all kinds of rare documents and books.
Sienna took out a book from the bookshelf. She looked down at her cover with faint eyes.
“······hehehe, I think this place will suit me well. “They are people who know something.”
She carefully turned the pages of Volume 1 of [Los Dos Biography] In her hands.
Adrien said as he got into the car at the corner.
“I think the other kids went to eat because it was dinner time. Let’s go eat when the kids come back. Anyway, who wants tea?”
Everyone raised their hands.
Adrien smiled darkly.
“Okay. “Drink it all… Ah, of course, you know that it’s up to the owner to decide what to serve, right?”
Theo responded.
“Take out the teaspoon you put in the mint syrup container, Adrienne. “I have iced Americano.”
“··························· In.”
Adrien grumbled and drank his coffee.
When five people are having tea time like that.
“Oh my, is it really Theo Lin Balderk?”
A woman opened the door and appeared. She was a white woman in her late teens with blonde hair that was almost lemon-colored.
Adrienne looked at her and frowned.
“······The first thing I see after returning is Britney’s face. “You’re out of luck.”
“Why do you say that! “On such a nice day.”
Brittany walked lightly toward the five people.
She stopped in front of Theo and looked at his face closely.
Eventually, Britney let out her exclamation.
“Oh my, you look even more handsome up close. Wow… I can’t see a single pore. “May I ask how you take care of your skin?”
Theo said calmly.
“Not really.”
Because of the habits of the original body owner, I swallowed the words that I was taking regular skin care.
Britney clapped her hands.
“After all, you can’t beat what you’re born with~ How come… Your voice is also good. “If Lenimide were to put all his effort into creating a sculpture, would it look like this?”
Brittany cackled and offered Theo a handshake.
“Ah, I should introduce myself. My name is Britney. “You can call me Cade during missions.”
“It’s Theo Lin Balderk.”
“Can I call you Theo?”
“Yes.”
Theo held Britney’s hand. In contrast to her gorgeous appearance like that of a noblewoman, her palms were full of calluses.
‘It’s like Irene’s palm.’
Brittany said, shaking Theo’s hand up and down in hers.
“Hmm~ I know you’re using a sword, but your palms are really soft. Interesting.”
“I see.”
I swallowed the idea that I was consistently applying hand cream due to the original body owner’s habits.
After a while, Britney looked at Sienna, P.L., And Jang Woo-hee. He was still holding Theo’s hand tightly.
“Are you part of Theo’s group?”
“Uh.”
Piel answered nervously, one of his eyebrows raised.
‘Something really… I don’t like it.’
Piel continued.
“Did you put glue on your hands? Just do it and let it go.”
Sereung.
Brittany pulled out the sword she was wearing at her waist.
“Hmm~ I’ll think about it if you beat me. “I don’t listen to people who are weaker than me.”
This author really hates mint.
