36 – Companion
A boy with impressive green hair.
The boy’s impression was clear, perhaps thanks to his short haircut.
Sharp eyes, sharp jawline, well-groomed features, etc. It was a face worth looking at.
The identity of the boy who suddenly appeared and blew Zeke away and threatened me was Finn, one of my former students.
He was pointing a spear at my neck.
“Pin. What are you doing here?”
I wondered why Finn, who must have left with Lucia, was here.
Did you even run away?
If he really escaped, why is Finn here?
When thoughts are cluttering my head, Pin withdraws the spear and continues the conversation.
“Uh…… Errand?”
“Errands?”
“…… He, Lucia, ordered me to bring some items from her master’s room.”
Is Lucia in my room?
What the hell did they ask you to bring?
Ask Finn.
“What do you mean?”
“That…… Why are you A picture we took a while ago. I came back because I was told to bring it.”
A group photo taken with the students.
Pin had come to get it.
I don’t know why Lucia needs it.
I couldn’t hand it over.
That was the purpose of my visit to the house in the first place.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t give you that.”
For a moment, Finn’s expression hardened.
Pin, with a hard expression, speaks in a trembling voice.
“Master. You know what would happen to me if I didn’t bring it back, right? Can’t I just give you some?”
This is what Lucia ordered.
If the pin goes back to Lucia empty-handed…….
Hmm.
“I will throw you to Grania.”
“Right! So can I give it to you?”
I don’t know where there is a girl as pretty as Grania and they hate it so much. I couldn’t give that.
“Go back.”
Meaning not to give.
Fin didn’t know that either.
I let out a sigh and gave strength to the hand holding the spear.
instant noodle scks tho
“After…… Good. It can’t be helped if the master comes out like that.”
Unexpectedly, he gave up without hesitation.
Aren’t you such a guy?
“Do you remember Master?”
“What do you mean?”
“The thing I threw away and bounced off by myself.”
Ah, it was.
The atmosphere is unusual. Let’s apologize first.
“At that time, I was so in a hurry that I couldn’t help it. Sorry.”
“No, no, it’s okay. Things like that happen, too. Thanks to my teacher, it was nice to leave home and travel. Except for the fact that Grania rushes to attack you every night.”
“I see.”
It’s not a face I like at all.
“So I want my teacher to have the same experience as me.”
“What is that?”
“Wouldn’t the real thing be better than a picture?”
Ah, now I understand.
This guy is trying to catch me.
“Just take the picture and go.”
“It’s late.”
The new type of pin is quickly disappearing.
The pin disappeared right in front of my eyes.
Did he run away?
No. I hurriedly turn around and open the shield.
Boom!
The shield was shattered in a single blow.
“Have you seen such a disciple of Fure?”
“Let’s go easy without straining.”
In the blink of an eye, the pin that had moved back in front of me swung the spear.
Thankfully, there was no damage thanks to the shield.
‘A monstrous bastard.’
The spear that Finn wielded did not contain a single magical power.
The shield was shattered with pure force alone.
“Is it okay to wield something like that at the sky-like master?”
“Your teacher threw it away first!”
Boom!
The spear being swung again.
Uh, this one will be hard to stop, right?
It was said that they predicted where it would come from at first, but it seemed difficult to stop this time.
I barely escaped, but to be caught like this.
If I had known this would happen, I would have taken Finn and run away.
The moment you give up and close your eyes.
Boom!!!
“What, what!”
A flustered voice of Finn.
I slowly opened my eyes and took stock of the situation.
A sword was blocking Finn’s attack.
Zeke, who was knocked out by Finn’s surprise at first, came to his senses and rushed at Finn.
“Are you okay, teacher?”
“What are you! Don’t you get out of the way?”
Zeke ignored Finn’s words and continued his attack.
Zeke’s attack didn’t let him hold his hand, and it was rough and fierce.
Fin calmly accepted Zeke’s attack and said.
“I don’t know who you are, but I’m a bit busy, right? I’ll deal with you next time, so get some sleep.”
Finn began to energize him.
The mana emanating from Finn’s body envelopes the spear in an instant.
Aurorance.
Something like the symbol of a master wielding a spear formed on Finn’s spear.
That and Zeke’s sword skills meet.
Quaang!!!
With a deafening roar, Zeke’s sword spirit is shattered.
However, Zeke’s sword did not break.
“What? Why isn’t this broken?”
Zeke’s sword that withstands a blow with the intention of breaking the sword.
That surprised Finn.
This is an opportunity.
Now that Finn was shocked and panicked, this was an opportunity.
I was reluctant to write, but it was not the time to consider the situation.
Isn’t it said that the first time is difficult and the second time is easy?
Move to action immediately.
“Kneel.”
With that single word he spat out containing magic power, Finn’s new model crashed to the ground.
“Kueee!”
The stigma engraved on Finn’s body was activated.
I’m sorry Finn, but I didn’t want to be a part of Lucia’s scary plan.
I’m sorry. Pin.
●●●
Succeeded in subduing the pin with the stigma.
Zeke passed out after blocking Finn’s attack.
I was going to finish my errands and leave before Zeke woke up.
“Master! Release this, release it!”
It was a pin screaming to release the stigma.
But I didn’t remove the stigma until Finn calmed down.
The moment I remove the stigma, it’s obvious they’ll run into me. How can I release them?
As time went on, Finn, who was tired of self-control, declared surrender first.
Only then did I release Finn’s stigma.
Fin, freed from the stigma, did not rush.
I just talked about what had happened.
“Anyway, I’m getting along pretty well with my bad-tempered sisters.”
“It’s good.”
From what Finn told me, the disciples seemed to be getting along just fine.
“Well, the plan is going well step by step.”
“Plan?”
“Curious?”
“It’s done.”
I didn’t hear anything good about the guys’ plan to reclaim the empire.
I wasn’t particularly curious.
“I didn’t have to be curious about anything. So why did Master come here, didn’t he run away?”
“I came because I had something to pack.”
“What is it?”
“With the picture you were going to take. It is a gift to the new disciples.”
Pin, who had been listening to the story in silence, exclaimed in surprise.
“Disciple? When did you get a new apprentice?”
“It wasn’t long before. The guy who stood in your way earlier is also one of my students.”
“Ah, that insincere fellow? Are you teaching it right? He’s good with a sword, but he’s completely hollow inside, isn’t he?”
Although Zeke has become much stronger, it was only natural that he would not be able to compete with Finn, who had reached the level of master.
It was Pin who knew that but was proud.

Okay, after taking the photos, I also packed presents for my students.
“Eh, Master. Could that be it?”
It was a surprised pin pointing to the black bracelet on my hand.
Black bracelet.
It looked the same as the one I gave out when training students in the past, but it was different.
It was an upgraded version that added a few more features while maintaining the existing features.
“It is a gift to the new disciples.”
“So, is that a gift?”
“Yes.”
“Isn’t it fetters?”
Shackles?
“It is a gift.”
I packed everything I needed.
All I had to do was wait for Zeke to wake up.
Fortunately, Zeke opened his eyes shortly after.
Zeke opened his eyes and rushed at Finn before he had time to stop.
However, Zeke was no match for Finn.
I was subdued in an instant.
I explained my relationship with Finn to Zeke.
It was only then that the misunderstanding was resolved and Zeke was able to calm down.
After all the errands, I was able to leave the house with Zeke.
Now all I had to do was return to where my party was.
But on the way back, another unexpected party was added.
“Pin. Why are you following me?”
“What if the way to go is this way? I’ll see you after a long time Teacher said let’s go together as far as we go.”
“Ha…… Take care of it.”
In the end, Finn accompanied the party to where they were.
With the sudden appearance of Finn, students asked who he was.
I explained to those students that they were my former students and that I was going with them for a while because it was the same way.
“And I brought a present for you guys.”
“A gift?”
“Teacher?”
“What is it?”
Students looked at me with expectant faces at the word gift.
“Everyone, put your hand out.”
At my words, the students reached out their hands without any doubt.
I put black bracelets on everyone’s hands in an instant before they could say anything else.
“Eh?”
“What is this?”
“Huh?”
“Teacher, is this a gift?”
“Damn it!”
Black bracelet.
The faces of the students who have experienced this once are hardened.
“What kind of gift is this!”
“No, that’s right!”
“Poo, free me!”
“Unlock this!”
“This is a scam!”
As I said, since it is an upgraded version, it has the same functions as the existing black bracelet.
It won’t work if I don’t release it.
“Please solve it, damn teacher!!!”
Students with strong resistance.
It’s all the teacher’s heart for the disciples, but I hated the disciples who didn’t know.
