Corin Guardians (5)
“Let’s end it here for today.”
While everyone was undergoing posture corrections and lessons again, Master dismissed us.
“It’s already evening. I didn’t know because the sun was up.”
“······rice.”
“Corin! Do you want to go out to eat in town?”
“Maybe?”
From now on, it will come out like this more often, so you will need to prepare dinner separately or find something to eat.
The location of the office is also good, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find a restaurant.
“Corin, stay for a while.”
“Master?”
I looked at her for a while and then spoke to the Guardians.
“Eat without me today.”
The remaining seats after sending the members. Master Erin came up to me and stroked my hair.
“You were great today. Your proficiency is high in not only the basic skills, but also the advanced areas.”
“It’s still… not enough.”
Battle against Tates Baltazar. I was sure as I faced the guy with the window.
He didn’t do his best against me. Even so, I was overwhelmingly pushed out of my skills.
“Don’t worry too much about Tates. I’m teaching you to bridge the gap.”
“i look forward to.”
She lifted her tiptoe, stroked my hair, and retrieved the spear with the rune of return.
“The reason I asked you to stay is to awaken another power within you. That power you can’t control and use as an energy store.”
“Sevancia Duke’s core…”
“That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. He was a masterpiece.”
“You know?”
“Of course. He was my disciple 800 years ago.”
“Yes?”
Sevancia Duke, the great hero who ruled over the continent 800 years ago, was Master’s disciple?
“Yes. I was wandering in the middle of it, so it’s been about three years, but when I was young, I went out into the world while being taught by me.”
Master remembers that back then, she was called an ageless witch and there were vicious rumors circulating about her.
“At that time, that child who was young rose to fame and became a great hero 20 years later. Although it seems that the end was not good…”
I told the story of Sevancia Duke’s spirit encounter in the library. Master looked surprised as if he didn’t know.
“It looks like Arum, who was a disciple about 100 years ago, put it in. At that time, when I was building the Great Library, I had a lot of items in my collection, but students here and there brought them.”
Looking at things like this, it seems that they don’t know how the relationship will lead.
“The fact that Sevancia’s core was planted in you must also be another fate.”
Master tapped my window with her own and said,
“Try to manifest that power once.”
I am the aura core inside me. To be precise, he raised the aura from Sevancia’s core.
“Sevancia used the power of the Aura Core in her arms. But that’s not the true way to use it.”
Master’s spear touching the blackened silver spear. Then, the black aura that dwelled in the silver spear began to move to her spear.
“What?”
“It is proof that Aura management is immature. Above all, it is because Sevancia does not understand the nature of Aura.”
Master’s spear, which has completely absorbed the aura, is dyed black. She holds the spear high… and strikes it as if making the sign of the cross.
──── Guaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The roar of paradise. The spreading aura splits the clouds and hurts the world.
“It is a power that has been honed only for that purpose in order to behead the five evil dragons that disturb the kingdom.
「Look, this is the power that changed the world. It is the power that killed the dragon when I was younger.”
I gulp, and swallow the saliva that passed down my throat. A power that would appear in any legend… Although the hero of the actual legend was right.
“Your assignments are three first.”
“First, get used to it until the sun is realized.”
“Second, improving pure spear skills. We will complete true infinity.”
“Finally, we must master this power that Sevancia left behind. We must indulge the 1st Demonic Spear weapon, release the Aura through the 2nd Demonic Spear weapon, and learn the final magic.”
The master who released all the black aura that dwelled in the spear and smiled while holding the shining white spear.
It’s a perfect, clean aura operation. How long did it take to build those skills? What about Sevancia?
“Can I… follow?”
At that very moment, Master’s spear rushes towards me. sharp anticipation. When the window was blocked, the air pressure generated by the window shook the surroundings.
-Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!
residual waves. A sharp wind whistling all around.
light surprise. With just one stab… various phenomena shake the space.
“Who do you think is in front of you? I am the beginning of this world’s guardian. The teacher of many heroes. I am the goddess of heroes.”
the end of justice.
Master of Heroes.
protector of mankind.
“I’m sure, having raised so many geniuses, you must have the makings of a hero. Your talent is real.”
“Well… I’m a bastard, but.”
“Whoops, I’m not just talking about the talent of the spear. Surprisingly, there is nothing as important as this among the talents of a fighter.”
“What is that…?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Confidence. Unbending, a presence that fully preaches your existence to the world. That is the hero’s talent. Qualities. Vessel.”
It’s not something I’m proud of, but… more than I thought, more big players had favorable comments about me.
Runia and Sword Emperor Garand were like that, and in the previous episode, Master also chose me over Park Si-hoo. Even in this episode…
“You are qualified to succeed me.”
Sevancia Duke chose me as her successor. As Master said, there may be something in me that they would approve of.
“I will pass on my everything to you and complete you. You will become a hero who saves the world and become stronger than anyone else.”
The Goddess blessed me, saying that it was a gift for those who pledged themselves to become heroes.

After the training, I came out of Paradise and walked around the city with Master.
“The restaurants in town have also developed a lot.”
“Didn’t you go there when you were the chairman of Eriu?”
“Because I was a doll back then. I pretended to eat food to avoid unnecessary suspicion.”
80 years of being sealed. It seems that for her, who was looking around the world through her avatar, eating was a purpose not to be suspicious of others.
“Ah, but Clara often brought me meals. I heard they eat raw fish these days too?”
“Sushi?”
“Yes. Clara hates it. I heard that painters like it that much.”
“Come with me later.”
“Yes, I will.”
walk again It is the scenery of the city that I would have walked as the chairman, but walking in the city with my real body seems to be a different feeling.
“By the way, how was the operation of the sun?”
“······Honestly, I think the inside was shaken.”
The magic that embodies the sun is entirely due to the infinite magic backup of this shadow paradise.
But it’s entirely up to me to keep it. It was to the point of dying trying to swing the spear while maintaining implementation control.
“You have to get used to it. Clau Solas recognized you as its master.”
“If only I could condense this power…”
Almighty King Ohad Breath. You can reproduce the power that drove Park Si-hoo into a corner in the previous episode.
In other words, it becomes the sun god. But for this, another prerequisite is required.
“Don’t be in too much of a hurry. If you overcome the ordeal in Treasury Magmel… the Argetlam of Nuada, forged by Diankhet, will be given to you.”
Diankhet, Nuada… As she said those words, Master gave a longing look.
“…was it family?”
“Yes. Diankhet, Nuada, Lu… they were all one family. We, Danan, were one big community.”
Danan. The ancestors of this land and those who were called gods.
The sky giants formed the continent, and this land, which Danan had nourished, was invaded by the Goidel peoples.
They absorbed Danan’s favor and teachings, and eventually challenged the gods.
Age of Heroes.
A book of invasion of Erinn to steal paradise with greed.
Danan fell like that, leaving everything to young Danan named Paradise and passing away.
“As you get older, you get sentimental everywhere.”
“Age doesn’t matter. Everyone does.”
“Whoops… I don’t think you should be like that.”
Master looked up at the sky with empty eyes. As if reminiscing about the past through the dark night sky and the starlight engraved with the islands.
“Everyone left. They did their part and left. Sometimes I felt resentful of my ancestors who inherited everything from me and left.”
thousand years. What is the last Danan, who has been silently doing his job for the thousand years, thinking now?
“That’s probably why it was more welcome. Balthazar and Tates… were children left behind by our ancestors. I thought I was the last, but when I realized I wasn’t the last… I lost my ability to judge.”
She blankly turns her gaze to me.
“I made a huge mistake in the past. I have a duty to correct it. Do you understand what I mean?”
“Are you saying you want to be with me after all?”
“You can’t just leave it to the kids.”
We have argued many times over this topic. I wanted to hide her as much as possible in the world of the shadow paradise… but in the end, I couldn’t break her will.
“Adults cannot hide behind children. Even if things go wrong, I…”
“Erin.”
“uh?”
Master looked at me with a confused expression when I suddenly called my name. I looked down at her and pushed her against the wall.
“Future me, I lost many people. To Permak, to Dun Skys, to Dumnorix, to Ohad… my comrades died, and I lost those I could have saved.”
“Ko… Rin?”
“You were among them.”
“That’s… what I have to do…”
“No, it’s different this time. No one is lost. No one is left behind.”
“Oh…?”
This must be an obsession and stubbornness. But if I were chosen by the sun god, if I was chosen by the system, if I were chosen by the teachers of heroes…
“You won’t die this time. I’ll save you.”
“But that’s…”
“Trust your disciple. He said he was a vessel for a hero? You just have to trust me and have my back.”
It may be arrogance. It may be that you are overconfident.
“I will not look down on the misfortunes of good people. From the moment I inscribe this oath on my body, I will not give up.”
“·······.”
“So, don’t act like you’re going to live the whole world and leave in front of your disciples. If anyone sees you, you’ll look like a younger sister than me, but what?”
“I just haven’t aged…”
“It doesn’t matter if life is long or short. You and I still have a long way to go. You can always live looking forward to tomorrow.”
Sending a cool smile to her with a bewildered expression.
“Everything will be fine. Everything will be fine.”
“Whoops…”
Eventually she laughed. It seemed that he was dumbfounded because the young guy looked like an adult.
“Yes, you are an adult.”
“Ahm. If you factor in future experiences, you’re definitely an adult. Twenty-two years old.”
Actually, I’m over forty.
“But haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Compared to me.”
“What do you say? Everyone over the age of 20 is my friend, friend.”
“so?”
“So go out to eat delicious food, make friends, buy nice clothes. Enjoy every moment. There are people around you to be with.”
“???”
Master looked around and noticed, then for some reason, she blushed and stared at me.
“Then will Corinne join you?”
“There’s nothing I can’t do.”
I was referring to Ms. Josephine, but well… Ms.
“I’m with you.”
“Ah~ I’m lucky. I wonder if such luck will come in my later years…?”
Also, as if it were the last time, he hit the top of his head with the blade of his hand. Suddenly, Master Erin, who had been beaten by a student, looked up at me with a confused expression, but I shamelessly left.
“What do you do when you’re so young and pretty? I’m old. Tsunami doesn’t strike in the frozen sea with cynicism and pessimism.”
“Uh… that’s right.”
“No matter how long you’ve lived, it’s nothing. If you live with your back and shoulders straight and believe that everything will be fine, you’re young no matter how old you are.”
“Haha, where did you learn that word?”
“I came from the food of the heart. Pretty older sister.”
Holding Erin’s hand, she smiled as she kissed the back of her hand.
“I really can’t win.”
“It’s not okay when a teacher tries to win over a student.”
why i came back
The reason why I took on the fate of saving the world on behalf of the players.
After all, it’s because I’m a greedy person who wants to save everyone.
As much as this, I can’t give up.
In the world I saved, everyone should be there. I won’t allow it to fall out there.
It was a day to renew the promise once again.

Did you know that turtles can’t do push-ups? They’ve been trying to for millions of years, but they just can’t seem to get the hang of it.
Germain Luther is a spy dispatched by the Catholic Church.
On the orders of Bishop Renault Lijunan, he was entrusted with the task of rescuing storm leader Laurent, who was arrested while attempting a raid on Holland, and collecting and delivering information on Merkava.
Originally, I was planning to rescue Laurent by cooperating with the Mage Tower, but unfortunately, the stupid Mage Tower messed up the job.
It is because the elder Morshtan was arrested by the saintess Estelle, and the rest of the work was done too quickly.
This is why the apostates of the Mage Tower… On the subject of that, to find out the date of Elder Morshtan’s transfer to the Cathedral of Zeon…
Although he was insecure, Germain was the only one who could carry out meaningful espionage activities at the current academy, so his responsibility was heavy.
“after···.”
It was good to melt into the academy without being suspected by anyone, but the academy’s vigilance was at its peak due to the assault team’s excessive consumption and the mage tower’s reckless acts of terror.
It was very difficult to gather information while receiving restraints wherever he went, so a long-term battle was expected.
As a single student, especially as a freshman, you can’t get any results. That day, too, it was time to trudge through the campus without stalling.
“Oh~ Who is this? Isn’t it our promising junior?”
A voice that speaks kindly. It’s a familiar voice.
“Uh… Senior?”
“How are you today? How are you?”
A 2nd year senior with a wild smile on his shoulders. Germain didn’t hate the innocent attitude of being able to be friends with anyone.
“Haha, the midterm exams just ended… Now I can breathe a bit more.”
“Really? The first year is tougher than the senior year. It’s not an elective lecture, so there’s a lot to learn.”
It was also a blind spot that limited Germain’s espionage activities. Basically, it’s a spacious academy class, but that’s from the second year.
The first grade is a survival skill or Dokdo skill, so there is no time unless it is late in the afternoon.
“That’s right, junior. Do you remember my proposal?”
“Uh… if you say it’s a proposal?”
“Because I founded the Guardians. Your skills are rare even among sophomores. How is it?”
Don’t you want to join our Guardians?
Be suspicious of the hand you reach out when you need it most.
Did you know that turtles can’t do push-ups? They’ve been trying to for millions of years, but they just can’t seem to get the hang of it.
Germain Luther was too young to have such coolness.
Good luck, I sincerely hope you can do it MC.
