306 – Born This Way (2)
─Secretary General Alaïa is a person with excellent situational awareness. He will definitely send his full force. He can kill you and me.
Fiat’s guess was keen.
······[Lining Mind] Inside the guild master’s office in the guild building.
There were a lot of men’s supplies hanging on the wall like decorations.
Alaïa was very nervous.
It’s because of the sturdy man sitting on the chair. He was the one who cut off the men’s heads and displayed them on the wall.
The man appeared to be in his late 20s to early 30s and had blond hair and healthy tanned skin.
When the man heard Al Raia’s story, he opened his mouth.
“Wow, it’s so fun that it hits you hard. So, Alaïa, to summarize what you said, you’re saying that Theo Lin Walderk took the Fiat away?”
Al Raia bowed his head and answered.
“······Yes, Master. At the same time, the guild tradition that Fiat adopted also seems to have passed. She and all the aides who accompanied her died.”
“It’s scary and amazing. Fiat, how did he pick [Eater]? “I didn’t get chosen either.”
“······I’m sorry. “The reason is still being determined, Master.”
The man waved his hand.
“That’s it, that’s enough. “Alaiah, how can you find out something that hundreds of years of hard work have not been able to figure out?”
“······.”
“Anyway, are you sure Fiat lost? It’s hard to believe. “If you look at that strong Fiat guy, your eyes widen, right? His combat power is clear.”
“······This is an extremely high probability guess. “I did not witness the duel between Theo Lin Walderk and Fiat, but losing the duel is the only reason Fiat would accompany him.”
“It’s hard to believe. “No matter how genius he is, a blood clot who is only a first-year academy student killed a dark elf that was over 300 years old?”
The man rested his chin and thought for a moment.
“Hmm… Now that I think about it, I think it’s true that he beat Fiat. Because Fiat sees the world in black and white, like its own skin color. “You either kill me or die.”
“······Please give me instructions, Master.”
“Theo Lin Walderk and Fiat. “Are you sure that the two of you are currently within Ellinia Academy?”
“The probability of that happening is extremely high, Master. Theo Lin Walderk was seen wandering around the academy yesterday, and Fiat was not seen leaving the academy after entering the academy.”
The man shook his head.
“He’s a guy who knows how to play bullsh*t in his own way. It’s safest right now to be inside the academy. “What’s going on in the northern magic city?”
“New personnel are waiting to be deployed. “The personnel planted nearby say that the church’s forces have not moved yet.”
“Then we should deal with it first. Ha, Maitri you idiot. “You act like you’re the smartest person in the world, but you still bother me even after looking around.”
“Should I order personnel to be deployed? Master.”
“That’s enough. Fiat failed too, so what can the others do? “It’s a situation where we can’t mobilize a lot of people.”
“In that case…”
“Yes.”
The man stood up. He said, bending his neck from side to side.
“I’m going there myself.”
The man’s name is David.
Guild master of the continent’s second-ranked guild [Lining Mind].
He was a man who was more often called by his nickname, “Gold Sun,” Rather than by his real name.
“While I’m gone, I’ll also bring Theo Lin Walderk’s head and prepare to hang it on the wall.”

After visiting Fiat in hospital, Theo had a quick breakfast.
The menu was a sandwich made by Eisha.
As Theo took a bite of the sandwich, Aisha said.
“How’s the taste?”
Theo spoke briefly.
“Not bad.”
Then Theo chewed his sandwich one after another.
Eisha said with a pouting expression.
“Is that the end of your feelings?”
“I’m impressed that you added several slices of bacon. Was the purpose of supplementing the protein that may be lacking in sandwiches?”
Eisha, whose expression soon relaxed, answered.
“That’s right! Theo, you’re very particular about nutritional balance, right? “I thought it was important to consider salt intake, so I used less salty bacon!”
Theo nodded.
“That’s great. “By the way, Eisha, you don’t eat.”
Eisha was only drinking milk.
Eisha answered.
“I feel like I’ve gained a bit of weight these days, so I’m on a diet.”
Theo looked up and down Eisha’s body.
“Hmm, Eisha, I think it would be good for you to add more weight.”
Eisha looked at Theo with bright eyes.
“Really?”
“Yes. Even though you use a dark bow, you never know what kind of situation will come your way. “No matter how much you strengthen your body with mana, weight class is important in close combat.”
Isha responded with her tired eyes.
“······What reason do I have? That’s Okay.”
Theo pointed to the milk container in front of Eisha.
“Give me some milk.”
“Neng.”
Grrr
Isha poured her milk into the cup in front of Theo.
Gulp, gulp.
Theo drank the milk in one go and then stood up.
‘I guess I’ll have to train until lunch.’
Theo said to Eisha.
“I will be training in my room, so if you have any business to do, knock and come in.”
“I understand.”
When Theo was in his room warming up and warming up before training.
Kkiik─
The door was opened without knocking.
Theo looked there with nervous eyes.
“Oppa Theo, let’s do it together.”
There was Eo wearing pink pajamas. In her small hands was a longsword for practice.
Pisik-
Before I knew it, Theo smiled.
“Joint training starts in the afternoon. Until then, rest, eo.”
Eo shook his head and spoke with a determined expression.
“No, I want to do it too.”
“I can’t help it. “In that case, first change into clothes that are easy to move around in.”
“I understand.”
Eo immediately ran straight to Eisha.
After a while, Eo came back wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts.
“Oppa Theo, can I dress like this?”
Theo observed Eo’s outfit for a moment, then nodded his head.
“······Yes. “That’s enough.”
Eo was wearing Eisha’s clothes.
Originally, it was a crop top and hot pants, but perhaps because of the height difference, when Eo was wearing it, it looked like a regular short-sleeved tee and shorts.
“Warm-up before training is very important. “I’m going to start stretching, so follow me.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Theo began stretching his entire body, starting with his neck and ending with his ankles.
Eo imitated Theo’s movements.
‘You follow along well.’
Theo’s developed senses were such that he could guess a person’s skills just by looking at their simple body movements.
‘It is a movement that goes beyond simply imitating, and also understands the purpose of stretching movements for each part.’
Theo decided to slow down the progress quickly.
“Stretching ends here. “Let’s learn the technique in earnest.”
“Yes.”

‘If it’s at the level of Eo, it would be better to show an actual battle right away.’
Theo took out two of his practice longswords from [Ah Space Bag] And spoke to Gon toward the door.
“Eisha, stop stealing and if you have nothing else to do, just practice sword fighting.”
“······!”
Eisha, who was hiding near the door, was startled.
‘Huh… How did you know?’
She smiled awkwardly and came to her door.
“I didn’t steal it…! “I was just waiting in case Eo suddenly needed something!”
“Yes, yes. Take it.”
Isha caught her practice longsword thrown by Theo in her hand.
She stood in front of Theo and said.
“Now that I think about it, it’s been a long time since we crossed swords like this. I said before that I would teach you swordsmanship…”
“Somehow it got a bit messy. “I will tell you a lot now, including interest.”
Theo took out a set of training armor from the [Subspace Bag] And handed it to Aisha.
“Wear it. “No matter how sharp the sword is, it can still hurt you.”
Eisha narrowed her eyes and looked down at her armor set.
“Ugh… The design is so bad. And I don’t need any of this, right? “Theo didn’t tell me, but I practiced it in my spare time while practicing swordsmanship.”
“Really? “Then I won’t make concessions to go first.”
“······Wait a minute. I’m an archer by name, right? “It is not fair for a swordsman to fight against an archer with a sword.”
“Then let’s give up the first strike.”
“Okay. Then let’s go!”
At the same time as she said that, Eisha stabbed Theo with her sword.
Theo smiled in satisfaction and turned to the side to avoid her thrusts.
‘It’s true that you continued to practice after that.’
Isha skillfully used the basic swordsmanship taught to her by Theo.
“It’s quick, so take this too!”
Eisha attacked Theo one after another. Anomalous attacks were also mixed in, such as slightly swinging the sword to induce him to make an evasive move and then trying to hit his thigh with her foot.
Theo did not fight back.
He simply smiled in satisfaction and avoided all of Eisha’s attacks.
After some time, Eisha, covered in sweat, spoke with her tired eyes.
“Eoyu… How can you not hit even one hit? “I’m giving up, Theo.”
Theo, without breaking a sweat, patted Eisha on the shoulder.
“It was hard. You’ve been training hard in close combat. “See you again, Eisha.”
“······I’m a woman who does what I do, right? “Next time, I’ll use a bow again.”
“If I get the chance.”
When Theo and Aisha exchange words.
“······Hmm, I understand.”
Eo, who was watching the two people sparring, held his sword in his hand. Then he looked at Theo and said.
“Oppa Theo, stick with me. “I know how to move.”
