At Aren’s words, Einhat pondered for a while before speaking.
“You mean that woman called Boss?”
“Well, that’s right.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know.”
“okay?”
Aren was not disappointed.
The Black Church itself was a very secretive organization, and if it was easy to get their information, Duke Hamel wouldn’t have suffered.
At that time, Einhart thought of something and said.
“But any other executive knows something.”
“Another executive?”
“Because there is another High Human among the officers of the Black Church.”
“really?”
At these words, Aren also opened his eyes wide in surprise and asked,
“It’s strange for me to say that after asking… How do you know that? Information from the Black Church won’t come in that easily, right?”
“There are more people who are targeting the Black Church than you think. And…”
Einhart paused for a moment before speaking.
“Their purpose is also roughly predictable.”
“Their purpose?”
“Well, I guess, but they know what they’re after.”
“…Are you the monster at the bottom of the imperial palace?”
“Huh? Did you know?”
Einhart smiled and said.
“I don’t know the exact identity, this is just a guess, so I’ll just skip it and tell you about the rest of the executives.”
“I’m good at guessing too?”
“I hate to tell you.”
“Can you do that to a friend?”
“Quack.”
Einhart smiled lightly and began to explain the executive.
“The name of the executive I know is Zeke, a high human who handles fire.”
“Chloride?”
“Chlorine? Oh, since Cecilia’s gift is named Binghwa, fire is chlorine?”
“Yeah. Doesn’t it suit you?”
“It’s normal, anyway, there’s a high human called Zeke, but he’s a bit dangerous.”
“That’s because he’s an executive.”
Among those belonging to the Black Church in the first place, is there anyone who is safe?
However, Einhart said with a rare serious expression.
“He’s more dangerous than you think. If it’s as I expected, his level surpasses that of a grand master.”
“Where did you get the information from?”
No matter how much Einhart said, it was hard information to blindly believe.
This is because there are still less than 10 Grand Masters known on the continent.
It’s not enough that such a person is a superhuman, but if he has the ability of fire…
“According to what you said, if you look only at pure force, it looks like the emperor of Istal?”
“Well, if we, who aren’t superhumans, have to say… what do you think of Kana?”
Despite the sudden call, Kana said without expression.
“I think it’s cute when two people who aren’t Masters, let alone Aura Knights, talk about it.”
“… I meant Zeke’s powerlessness?”
As if Kana had finished what she had to say, she looked around the empty yard again.
“Einhart, is he really your subordinate? Aren’t they just friends?”
“I’m mistaken sometimes too. Anyway, there’s a reason I rate Zeke that way.”
“Why?”
“Do you know what Ripple is?”
“ripple?”
“It’s the name of the country.”
Aren thought for a moment about the names of the countries he knew.
But no matter how much I thought about it, I had never heard of a country with that name.
“… where are you?”
“You don’t have to know. It’s a very small country. It’s a vassal of Britannia.”
“Why is that country?”
“Silk is from that country. And…”
Einhart put on a rather serious expression and then continued.
“Zeke is the man who ‘alone’ burned down his hometown of Ripple.”
***
the next morning.
Hans and Max were sparring at the Diphus family gymnasium.
f*ck! right!
“You’ve grown more.”
“thank you.”
Max responded to Hans’ praise.
Then, he gave more strength to his sword and swung it loudly.
f*ck!
“You must be young. I must be old now.”
“You made it easy for something like that.”
At Max’s words, Hans smiled and looked away from the gymnasium.
Because I saw two people approaching this way.
“You’re here.”
“yes.”
“Did you have a good night, young master?”
“Ah, good night, baron!”
Aren and Rai entered the gymnasium.
Max bowed his head to Aren, but Aren calmly ignored him.
Hans, on the other hand, spoke up to see if Rai was bothered by the title he was calling him.
“You don’t have to call it that hard.”
“Uh…then what should I call it?”
“uh……”
The two of them are speechless again.
Aren smiled and said.
“If you ask me to call you father, it will be awkward for both of you. Umm, how about uncle?”
“That’s it.”
Hans said to Rai as if he had found a breakthrough.
“Call me Uncle.”
“Yes! Uncle!”
Rai replied loudly, and Hans smiled lightly as if he felt more at ease.
Aren said, pushing Rai’s back.
“Father, look at Rai’s swordsmanship.”
“Hmm? It doesn’t matter. What about you?”
“I’ll take Max for a minute.”
“… what are you going to do?”
Hans knew his son well.
Hans knew very well that his son’s heart was as wide as a rice bowl and the depth of his jealousy was like the sea.
Aren said with a bright smile at his father’s worried voice.
“I want to talk to you. Don’t worry.”
“… Max.”
“I’m coming, Baron.”
Max responded right away as if he was okay.
Aren, who left Hans and Rai at the gymnasium, left the mansion with Max.
“Bocchan, where are you going?”
“Where no one is. Do you like it?”
“… no.”
Max silently followed Aren.
As I walked through the streets, I began to see the changed town.
“Hmm… Has it really changed a lot?”
It seemed that the number of people had increased as well as the buildings I hadn’t seen before.
At that time, I met the eyes of the owner of a vegetable store who had come out early in the morning to prepare for business.
“Uh! Aren?”
“hahahaha, mister, long time no see~”
“This guy, when did you come back?”
The owner of the vegetable store ran to Aren as if he knew him well, put his hand on Aren’s shoulder and said,
“Uh, the young boy in our village did a big deal! A big deal!”
“What’s the big deal?”
“Didn’t the town develop this much thanks to you! If this isn’t a big deal, what is it!”
The president said that he was proud, but Aren’s expression was just trembling.
“I liked the old town better.”
“What’s good about a village like that? It’s much better now.”
“You don’t have any romance. Isn’t that nerdy feeling good?”
“Are you the guy who has been to the city? Don’t you usually brag after you’ve been to the city?”
The boss said something absurd, then poked Aren in the side as if he remembered it.
“I heard everything from you, the baron.”
“What?”
“You said you got a fiance?”
“Ahh.”
“This guy, what is Ange doing?”
Anje, the name of Aren’s childhood friend.
Aren said calmly.
“Why is Ange here? We’re just friends.”
“… You get hit by fighting after that.”
“How many times have I not told you, just friends.”
Aren moved as if he was leaving.
“I’ll go now. See you next time, mister.”
“Yeah, anyway, I’ll definitely look for Ange later…”
“Goodbye~”
Aren and Max moved on again.
“You’re friendly.”
“huh?”
“With villagers. Usually nobles don’t get along well with commoners.”
“Ah, my family doesn’t have anything like that.”
After giving a rough answer, Aren gradually left the village and began to enter the foot of the mountain.
“Aren’t you asking?”
“What do you mean?”
“Why did I call you?”
“It goes as expected.”
“Hmm.”
As I moved a little, I came to a fairly large vacant lot halfway up the mountain.
Aren looked around and smiled.
“Nothing has changed here.”
“Are you at the gymnasium?”
“Yes, my father made it when I was little.”
Aren walked to the center of the arena and took out a sword from his magic backpack.
“Prepare.”
“… Do you use a real sword?”
“Yeah, you thought it was a wooden sword? That’s why you brought it.”
In Max’s hand was a wooden sword brought from the mansion.
Aren silently took out another sword from his bag and threw it at Max.
“Write that.”
“… It’s a pretty good sword.”
“It’s a mithril sword.”
“……”
Max drew his sword and swung it into the air.
It was to learn the weight and sense of the sword before sparring.
chain fluid chain fluid
“It’s done.”
“Then shall we begin?”
Aren immediately drew his sword and glared at Max.
Shoreline Beam Piercing
I love you so much!!
“…!?”
Aren’s stab that came suddenly.
Max panicked for a moment, then reflexively raised his sword to block the attack.
Quaang!
‘Ranged with a mana sword?’
While Max questioned, Aren’s attack followed.
“Don’t be vigilant, do it right?”
Coastal Stream Beam Piercing, Beam Slash, Inertia Slash
“…!?”
A slash that attacks with terrifying momentum.
Max reflexively raised his mana.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwam! bang! bang!
Max releases an aura in an instant to block the slash.
But Aren said indifferently.
“Didn’t I tell you to do it with all your might? You were cut.”
“…!?”
From noble mtl dot com
The clothes on Max’s shoulder were cut when he was cut.
‘what…’
Perhaps it was a shock that his senses, being an Auror Knight, did not respond to Aren’s attack, Max stared blankly at his wounds.
Seeing this, Aren’s expression crumpled.
“Is it so relaxing because it’s Dalian?”
“Oh no…”
“If we don’t do it right, we’ll kick you out of the house?”
“… I’ll do it right.”
Max recognized the importance of the current situation and cheered up.
***
“Hee-b-huh-huh-huh-huh.”
“It’s all right.”
‘What is this…’
Max gasped on the floor, confused.
He obviously fought with all his might, and if his senses weren’t strange, Aren’s level was still at the level of an expert.
Even so, instead of winning, Max was greatly shocked mentally when he was only toyed with by his swordsmanship.
‘No matter how high-human this is…’
I don’t know what kind of ability it is, but Aren has always fought only with swordsmanship, so Max’s shock was even greater.
It felt like all of my years of training had gone to waste.
At that time, Aren, who was watching the gasping Max, opened his mouth.
“How old are you?”
“Whoa whoa… I’m 20 years old.”
“You’re 20 years old, but you can only do that? Out of all the Aura Knights in our academy, do you think you’re the weakest?”
“… what do you want to say?”
“You’re just saying you’re disappointed? It’s not that difficult, is it?”
Max gritted his teeth at his harsh assessment and stood up.
“What do you mean, is this the end?”
“No, are there more?”
“Then just tell me.”
“Then I’ll tell you directly.”
Aren said in a calm tone.
“You guys get out of my house.”
