64 – Guest from the Knights of the Guard
The only tile-roofed house in the academy, Mayer’s private room.
Sword Saint Mayer sat on the veranda and drank Usencha.
Slurp
A bitter taste that fills your mouth.
Mayer liked this taste without any irritation.
Calms the mind.
Chrrr… ….
A stream flows through the pond.
The sound of a river gently ringing in your ears.
A subtle sound of footsteps came in between them.
A man approaches the tiled house with a bright face.
A guest wearing a golden uniform came to see Mayer.
“Mayer~”
A familiar voice to Mayer.
Mayer naturally thought of the Guard Knights.
That’s because the opponent is a member of the Royal Guard.
Mayer swallowed his tea and spoke.
“The little boy has arrived.”
“hahahaha, it’s my 10th year now. “When did you get assigned to the human resources department?”
“Aren’t many of your seniors over 30 years old?”
“That’s true~”
Aiden, a guard knight, smiles and talks.
This man, who belongs to the personnel department of the Knights Guards, always steps forward when he says he has talent.
To find talented people who can become royal guard knights.
“So the reason you came to see me was to ask me to recommend a good girl?”
Mayer put down his teacup and guessed.
Mayer, who has deep eyesight, is the most accurate at seeing talent.
“Originally it would have been like that… There’s a rumor I heard recently. Oh, please take this first.”
Aden put down the silk-wrapped gift.
The gift was ceramics filled with dried green tea.
“This is Sejak 細雀 tea. “You know that it’s the most delicious type of green tea, right?”
Of course, Mayer knew.
Mayer, who loves green tea, knows most types of green tea.
Mayer felt better.
“It’s okay as a bribe.”
Mayer’s response is good.
Is it easy to get help?
Aiden smiled and spoke.
“I have a friend who recently killed two dragons.”
“Did you mean Evan?”
“hehehe, yes. It was that kind of name. “Evan from Grace Street.”
The last time I caught two dragons was Evan.
Mayer thought.
‘I thought it would be like this from the moment Evan became famous, but is it the Knights of the Guard?’
I can’t believe requests come in through the Sword Saint himself.
It must be quite difficult for the Guard Knights.
“Has the front line been very difficult lately?”
“Um… Let me tell you, it’s not like it used to be. hahahaha.”
Aiden said, scratching the back of her head.
The Imperial Guard Knights are a very large group and often engage in external activities.
Enough to deal with each disaster directly.
The Eastern Front, where Aiden belongs, was an area of direct conflict with the dragon.
“I was really reassured when Mayer was around!”
“When do we talk about enemies?”
Mayer slurped down the tea and let out a small sigh.
“Honestly, the Eastern Front… “Children die so easily, so I don’t really want to recommend it.”
“Ugh. “Well, that’s why you only meet kids who have killed a dragon, right?”
“Okay, let’s talk. “Don’t expect too much.”
The Evan that Mayer knew was a stubborn child, to the point where he even turned down the offer to become his student.
Guardian Knights with many restrictions? To be honest, Mayer was negative.
“That is enough! “I have to meet other kids anyway, so I’ll wait a few days, so just contact me!”
Aiden waved his hands and smiled awkwardly.

Understanding the world of imagery 1. Class time.
After letting the children meditate in the school garden, Meyer quickly approached Evan.
I know it would be rude to do this at the request of a distant junior, but I will definitely do what I was asked to do.
‘I can’t tell Evan now!’
Because Mayer has very little contact with Evan.
She went to Evan so quickly that it seemed like a bit of a ploy, and Mayer was able to arrive before Evan went into meditation.

“Evan.”
Meyer called Evan and caught her breath.
Because her voice was disorganized, Gonmeier waited until her breathing calmed down and whispered close to Evan.
At first glance, like a professor who cares about his students.
“Maybe… Are you free today or tomorrow?”
After speaking, Mayer swallowed her saliva.
I feel nervous for no reason.
Evan’s cold impression makes it seem like he would easily reject the offer.
Evan blinked at Mayer’s question.
“Didn’t we decide to discuss the discussion on Sunday?”
“Ah, not a discussion, let’s see Evan…” ….”
Mayer rolled her eyes and continued her words, checking to see if her children were watching.
“Someone from the Knights of the Guard has arrived.”
‘The Knights of the Guard.’
Evan had a good impression of the Guard Knights.
When dealing with the Witch King in his past life, he received quite a bit of help from the Guard Knights.
The Royal Guard knights at the time were the remnants left after the empire was almost destroyed.
Thanks to this, Evan agreed without hesitation.
“Good.”
If you look at the fact that he came to see you at this time, it seems like he is making an offer to recruit you.
Of course, Evan had no intention of joining the Royal Guard… I wanted to meet the Royal Guard knights of this period.
Wouldn’t he be a very talented person?
Evan is lenient towards the strong.
“Uh… “Then when?”
Mayer was surprised.
I never thought this cold, efficiency-oriented child would readily agree.
“Instead, may I take my student? “I want to give them a lot of experience.”
“I saw it before…… Maya?”
“Yes.”
The rainbow-colored baby dragon in Mayer’s memories.
You can’t be quick to judge a dragon, but it seemed very gentle.
Even if it is a dangerous dragon, Mayer can handle it.
“It’s okay.”
“Then I will go tomorrow for lunch.”
“Good, the location is my private room.”
“Yes.”

The next day.
Mayer’s private room, veranda.
Evan, Maya, and Meyer gathered together and drank green tea.
I decided to meet with Guard Knight Aiden and wait for him.
Maya touched the veranda in fascination, which she felt for the first time, and when she drank green tea, she shivered.
A foreign object felt in her mouth.
-Beeh.
Maya stuck out her tongue and spit out green tea leaves.
-Use it, boss.
Maya looked up at Evan with her stern face.
Maya hates bitterness.
Like a child complaining about side dishes, a sly smile appeared on Mayer’s face.
Evan only opened one of her eyes and squinted at Maya.
“Bitter things are good for the body. “It is good for your health, so eat it.”
-Ugh… Are you talking about your boss? Maya, I’ll do my best!
Maya held the teacup with both hands and glared at the tea.
“…… “If it’s hard to eat, you don’t have to eat it.”
Maya listened to Evan very carefully.
Maya closed her eyes tightly, picked up the teacup, and took a shot of green tea.
Gulp gulp gurgle
Hot tea flows down the inside of Maya’s throat.
Although she doesn’t usually eat like that, Mayer, who wasn’t strict about her tea ceremony etiquette, just looked cute as if she were looking at her granddaughter.
“The more I look at it, the cuter it gets.”
“… ….”
Evan did not deny it.
It’s true that Maya is cute.
-Paha!
Maya let out a small burp and looked back at Evan.
-hehehe.
I was good at smiling, right? An expression that says.
Evan nodded his head slightly.
“Oh my, sorry I’m late~”
At the same time, Aiden in gold uniform, holding a stack of documents, rushed in with a huff.
“It’s late, it’s late.”
Aiden comes up to the veranda, talking to himself.
He may seem like a shy man just by looking at his appearance, but Evan could read the extent of the magical energy flowing from him.
‘It’s similar to the royal guard knight I saw in my past life. Is it possible to catch an adult dragon at this level?’
mana of approximately A~A+.
They say they are trying to preserve it, but the damp magical energy that is coiling around them is not completely hidden.
As he sat on the veranda wiping his sweat, Aiden felt gazes on him and also looked back at Evan.
The two make eye contact.
Aiden intuitively realized that this boy was Evan.
‘Ugh?’
Aiden was surprised.
Surely, Evan has killed two dragons.
But the boy in Aiden’s eyes was a wannabe who seemed very inadequate.
‘The body is very lacking, and I can hardly feel any magic power? What?’
Is this boy’s body barely capable of lifting heavy rebar?
The magic power is completely poor.
If you have been in the Knights of the Guard for about 10 years, you can know the approximate achievements of your juniors just by looking at them.
Of course, Evan’s magic power was not revealed at all because Evan was hoarding it to the extreme, but Aiden didn’t know that.
‘…… ‘It’s severe.’
Aiden’s complexion hardened.
Disappointment and doubts are rising.
I suspect that it was with the help of his family that Evan caught the dragon.
“Kid, I’ll tell you in advance, Evan was the only one who caught the dragon. So, don’t doubt it.”
Mayer said to Aiden.
Maya struck the final blow against Judge Isin, but it is true that Evan caught most of it alone.
“Yeah… ….”
Aiden answered vaguely, unable to erase his disappointment.
“Would you like to drink it?”
Soon, Meyer poured green tea and made Aiden’s place.
Aiden sat down and stared at Evan.
Aiden’s face looks confused, as if he doesn’t know no matter how much he looks at it.
‘You are searching for me.’
Evan thought.
If things continue like this, he won’t be able to get what he wants from Aiden.
Evan must be a coveted talent, so people will feel valued and listen to what Evan has to say.
Evan wanted to experience the Eastern Front. Without joining the Knights Templar.
She has Cornelia, but she doesn’t want to owe her more than this. It’s enough for her to meet Shingeom.
‘Let’s play a little prank.’
Evan secretly channeled his magic.
Approximately similar magical power to Aiden.
Aiden, who was taking a sip of green tea, flinched and trembled.
“Yes…… ?”
Aiden sensed his magic and looked for the epicenter with a blank expression.
Obviously, the only person who can emit magic power similar to his own is Sword Saint Mayer…….
Aiden made eye contact with Evan again.
He has magical power similar to his own flowing out of him.
Aiden was astonished.
