125 – You must see the highlights
#One
Residence of the Caesar family.
Laves greeted the two sons with a benevolent face.
Not only did they do a good job, but they did a lot.
Even in a place that could be called enemy territory, he returned safely with no one seriously injured.
Coincidentally, Manus was the most injured.
Caesar’s soldiers kept their mouths shut and simply accepted the welcome.
The moment the ignorant guy said, ‘The second Confucius was seriously injured!’, he was ready to throw himself at any time.
-It was a secret that I had to stop even risking my life.
“Everyone suffered. Members, let’s get rid of travel poisoning. I will give you my reward, so have a good rest today.”
“thank you!”
The platoon commanders responded in a loud voice.
He answered with a serious expression, but as if he couldn’t hide the joy of returning and receiving the reward, the clown stood high.
Rabeth laughed at that scene and shook his hand.
Troops retreating with a disciplined military rite.
They shouted the same slogan as always and left.
[Infinite glory to Caesar-!]
The valiant cry was a sacred ritual.
It was also a tool for continuously injecting Caesar’s spirit.
A statement that makes you proud as a member of a great family.
Those who once again reflected on their mindset disappeared with a confident gait.
Accurate reports and future affairs were the privileges that only Confucius should know.
Rabeth put his hands behind his back and turned his back.
He looked back at his two sons with a soft expression.
“Follow me.”
“-yes.”
voices overlapped.
Side by side, the brothers headed to their father.
“The Count’s family made a number.”
“That’s right. They sent a cleaner.”
“hmm… … .”
Labeth looked at the desk with sunken eyes.
It was a good choice to send Tirannis rather than Invidea.
If Invidea had the personality to dig into the case, she would have been investigating for a long time in the county.
On the other hand, Tyrannis was a person who knew how to wield the power of his family.
I thought the personality of the eldest son was more suitable for this case.
Church of Dire.
‘There must be more things intertwined than I thought.’
Caesar’s family head thought about the future.
The silent world began to move.
Anyway, it is one or two mudfish that muddy the clear and calm water.
Also, quite large mudfish were twisting the peace of the continent.
It was even more disturbing because I could know without looking.
Did the emperor foresee this situation in advance?
A letter arrived this morning.
“They both suffered. Manus stay and Tyrannis go back.”
“-yes.”
Tyrannis rose from his seat and walked away gracefully.
In the same composition as before departure, Manus was also sitting in the same posture.
In addition, the golden parchment flying out, the situation is perfectly symmetrical.
On the golden parchment, which was slurried, was written what the emperor wanted to convey to Caesar.
Rabeth looked at his son and smiled softly.
“Congratulations. You passed the emperor’s test safely.”
“Is the Dire Church also handled by the emperor?”
“That will not be it. I must have been tested all over the place. The Earl of Acre… … I wouldn’t have survived that test.”
“I guess we need some time to figure out what the emperor wants.”
“okay.”
In the original work, the emperor was just a bystander.
Without seeing the end of the real story, there was little Manus could know about the Emperor.
It’s a frustrating situation, but this is also something to get through.
Manus nodded.
He had only one conclusion.
To become stronger faster and to think more closely.
It is to make the surroundings solid so that no matter what happens, you can respond reliably.
“I will do my job.”
“Caesar will not stand still either. be stronger Then, see you at dinner.”
Yes, the principality was so peaceful.
They say that Caesar’s family had conquerors as their ancestors.
It seemed that the time had come for that blood to work properly.
A terrifying aura emanated from Labeth’s entire body.
It was such a terrible energy that even the great Manus could not breathe.
The great mage’s rage that dominated an era and will continue to shine forever.
The dragon who was enjoying leisurely taste has awakened.
Those who bought that wrath will never be safe.
“My friend, I apologize.
My lack of foresight put your sons in danger.
I’m not sure, I keep testing and weeding out.
But not my promise.
Always on the day when the stars begin to shine brightly, I will give you the best reward for your family and your children.
I’ll give you a place to shine anywhere on the continent, so please don’t be angry.
My old friend, it’s been a long time since I remembered the time when we all drank together.
When it’s all over, don’t drink it leisurely.
Waiting for that time, I will always work hard for the future of the continent.
Please, until then, remain my best friend.
A poor friend.』
#2
After Manus stepped outside, he encountered an unexpected person.
brother, and sister.
The two were looking at each other with strange eyes.
Do you have anything to say?
He approached the two of them with curiosity on his face.
Aren’t they two people who don’t get along just because they’re competing these days?
Seeing them all gathered together, they must have something important to say.
“What is it, both of you?”
“you-. You really don’t want to go home, right?”
“however.”
“ha… … okay. Then I believe and go.”
Again and again -.
With a wide stride, Invidea moved away.
Tirannis looked at him with his eyes narrowed before asking again.
“I don’t think the world will let you go, but are you really going to go ahead with that?”
“Whatever the world says, it doesn’t matter.”
“The horse… … . Is this a little more comfortable now? It climbs.”
Is it because he suddenly spoke half-heartedly?
A rare expression of bewilderment crossed Tyrannis’ face.
Manus just spoke calmly.
“If brothers act hard, people in the world will look at them more strangely. I’m not really interested, so take care of yourself.”
Manus passed Tirannis.
He took a few more steps and gave me the last word.
“If you want, I plan to live a quiet life in a corner of the principality. Unless you touch it.”
“… … do whatever you want.”
The wrinkles smoothed out between Tyrannis’s brows.
I didn’t know if he really believed or if he was only momentarily relieved.
However, it seemed that at least I wouldn’t have to have a useless argument right now.
‘Besides, we’ll have to talk about that magic.’
There were many topics to investigate.
For the time being, I’ll have to study the magic I put aside for a while.
[Interference has begun.]
[The fate of the world is strongly twisted.]
Manus put away the message and walked back.
I haven’t seen Albion for a week, and his cute face flickers.
Even though he became Manus, his nature to love animals seems to have gone nowhere.
Maybe the original Manus also liked animals.
I saw Wei taking Albion for a walk in the distance.
Albion, who was walking around in full swing, sniffed the air and turned his head to Manus.
“oh.”
[Garrr!]
Albion flew in with a strange sound like a cat crying.
As if she missed Manus’ arms, she threw her fairly large body and fell into Manus’ arms.
Not hating the feeling of rubbing his face, Manus smiled and stroked Albion’s head.
Wei, who saw this, admired a little.
It looked like a picture.
My wife should have seen that scene.
Considering the effort she put into getting that scene back… … .
‘Still, it must have been good.’
She approached with careful steps and asked.
“Get rid of your travel addiction and go.”
“-What date is it today?”
“It’s the 17th of April.”
“I have a reason to go.”
“-yes?”
She raised her curiosity above her head.
Putting Albion down, Manus spoke in a firm voice.
“I’m going to say hello to my father.”
“Now is the time… … .”
“I don’t know about that, but I want to go now.”
“… … All right. Confucius.”
It was just time to prepare breakfast.
If I left without eating, the head of the family might be disappointed.
Still, I couldn’t help it.
Didn’t they say that there are no parents who win over their children?
I must have thought of something urgent.
Wei convinced herself and moved on.
April 17th.
Today was the day of the last sparring to elect the student council president.
#3
Mythos Academy was buzzing.
Because today was a very important day.
1 Grade.
It was a day to select students who might be responsible for the next four years.
Unlike the overall cluttered atmosphere, the place where the candidates were waiting was quiet and calm.
Two people concentrating with their eyes closed.
Before I knew it, the women who had reached the finals were preparing for the final confrontation.
Whoa-.
The occasional sound of deep breathing added to the tense atmosphere.
The two concentrating people had the same thoughts.
‘Will Manus-senpai come today?’
The final gateway reached after a fierce battle.
If they surpassed each other, they could claim the title of the strongest in their grade.
Kale and Anais.
Both of them ended up facing each other after a great battle.
Coincidentally, both of them came here with strong motives.
Manus.
That mysterious person led the two of them to an extraordinary life.
In addition, in life, it gave me a strong motivation.
I don’t know about other times, but I wanted you to look at them today.
[There will be a final duel. The two students, please come out to the stadium.]
A voice amplified by magic was heard.
Anais of alignment.
Calm Kale.
Both of them opened their eyes at the same time.
The beautiful faces looked at each other and smiled wryly.
Anais was the first to speak.
“-No attention.”
“huh.”
Two people laughing bashfully.
The two of them walked to the other side and went to their respective exits.
The door to this mysterious waiting room was enchanted to go to the other side of the arena at once.
Two people starting from the same place and walking on different paths.
In the end, they will compete their magic skills in the same place.
Waaa!
Maybe it’s because today was a very famous day?
It seemed that various families and organizations also participated to watch the game.
“Both of you, are you ready?”
“-yes.”
Cale and Anais awakened the sleeping mana.
We tried to surpass each other.
I climbed the tower and trained my magic.
He listened to the classes more diligently than anyone else and sought advice from various people.
Is that all?
The combat experience accumulated so far was also refined through various sparring.
Right now, the two of them were showing off their skills that would never be seen in history.
“-ah.”
Cale and Anais, who were looking around, let out exclamations at the same time.
It was quite a distance, but it was clearly visible.
How can I not tell them apart?
Blue eyes sparkling like jewels on a beautiful face.
The jet-black hair that can be seen in the hair of various colors.
Seeing him smiling softly at them, smiles spread across their faces.
‘Don’t miss the highlights.’
Two girls passionately pumping out mana at the same time as the thoughts in Manus’ head.
With the referee’s loud shout, a rival match that will be talked about for a long time to come began.
