Dang Ran-yeong came to see Cheong-ra exactly seven days and nights after he had started playing the zither. Just as Cheong-ra had finished his evening meditation after returning from playing the zither, Dang Ran-yeong barged in, opening the door without making a sound. Wherever he had been, his attire was so splendid today that it would put royalty to shame, making a jingling sound with every movement.
Without Cheong-ra's permission, he sat askew in a c...

"Chief Jin Soram, Chief Han Tae-un. What time is it now?"
Ayoung shouted without waiting for an answer.
"It's! Ten! Thirty! It's ten thirty!"
"...Sorry."
"I'm innocent, it's all because of Han Tae-un."
"..."
Tae-un silently accepted the false accusation by sitting down. By now, this level of unfairness wasn't even worth being bewildered about.
"You weren't like this every day when I was in school, we...

The members, feeling the extreme brightness, tightly closed their eyes and covered their faces with their forearms. Some instinctively covered their heads and lay flat on the ground.
Soon after, a wave of scorching heat that felt like it would burn their skin swept through. Surprisingly, at that moment, neither the monsters' howls nor human screams could be heard.
As an eerie silence fell, it seemed as if time had stopped throughout the vast fort...

The thick dust that had filled the air slowly cleared. Streams of light pouring from above settled on the golden eyes.
And simultaneously, a massive shadow blocking part of that light came into view. Leonardo's pupils contracted as much as the queen's red ones.
There was no need to subdue the rampaging mother body; an opportunity was laid out before his eyes. Knowing this wasn't a timing that came easily, as soon as Charlotte's voice echoed, blac...

"Junior. You shouldn't dislike learning."
"Sob."
"Studying is all for your own good. Isn't it comfortable here? It'll be more painful when you enter Einroguard. If you fail the exams, you'll go to the punishment room!"
'That's too much of a lie.'
Alcicle inwardly recoiled.
Of course, Alcicle also sympathized that this barbarian needed education. Especially education about the history and respect for noble families like the Penge...

"Hey, Wardanaz. You should have told us in advance if such demons were roaming around."
"No, they don't usually roam around."
Yi-Han explained, feeling there was a misunderstanding.
"No matter how our family is, we're not a place that uses demons like that, this isn't Einroguard."
"Then is that thing in front of us not a demon but a slime?"
Alcicle checked the giant demon outside again at Yi-Han's words.

While they were conversing, Duke Icaldoren barely managed to spit out the gag in his mouth.
The duke, even while being captured and dragged along, tried to maintain his usual dignity and prestige as he spat out his words.

The three stopped their chatter and hesitantly looked at the duke.

"The inside, haa, is hot."
"Hnng, heu. Aah!"
The shaft with bulging veins and the arm embracing Soram occasionally lost control and roughly stirred the inside. At those times, strength was also put into the buttocks.
"Soram-ah, ugh."
"Ah, haa, it's big, ouch! Ah!"
Soram's hand, which had been wandering on the blanket, tightly grasped Tae-un's arm propped beside his face. Tae-un brought his hand under that hand and interlocked th...

The streamlined head cut through the dust and charged upwards with gleaming eyes. Faced with the hideous demonic form approaching head-on, Meterion immediately altered the structure of the magic circle he was deploying.
The magic circle briefly shone a deep green, then created a small vortex in the narrowing gap between it and the creature. The vortex rotated at high speed, drawing in the vast amount of scattered dust particles to a single point.

The bishop was rather more surprised by this behavior.
"You seem to have a good relationship with your disciple?"
"Is this what you call that?"
Originally, Yi-Han was the embodiment of self-control and cultivation, but the words 'having a good relationship with the skull principal' made him lose his self-control.
"It's thanks to my character."
The skull principal answered instead.
Yi-Han momentarily lost his self-control o...

"If he weren't an Einroguard student, I would have made him my aide."
"Yeah, yeah. I once wanted to use a dragon as a mount too. But the dragon didn't like it."
The skull principal responded indifferently.
If Wardanaz were made an aide to the Moradi family, the emperor would surely contact him immediately.
Asking if he was rebelling against him now...

Why was he suddenly asking such a thing? Even if Kiolle never worked a day in his life, there was no one in House Diarca who would say anything about it. After all, no one had been pleased when he had insisted on becoming a knight in the first place.
Kiolle answered glumly.
"Yes. That's right. The Imperial Knights and father should give me some word for my next position to be certain, but there hasn't been any word yet. As far as I know, I'm sti...

"I couldn't sleep. You snore, grind your teeth, and talk in your sleep."

Tae-un had now developed the strongest tolerance to Soram's unreasonable complaints. His palm gathered the disheveled brown hair and stroked down to the nape of his neck. Soram shrugged his shoulders as if it tickled.
Smack.
In that gap, their lips lightly touched. Having woken up not long ago, both of their body temperatures were w...

For a very brief moment, a dangerous and impulsive thought crossed Nero's mind, but he soon shook his head. He raised the rifle stock to his shoulder again and aimed the sight at the monster.

Rather, if he continued to act as a benevolent member like this, he would probably remain in their memories as 'suspicious but stil...

The gentle touch, contrasting with the subdued golden eyes, slowly caressed the other's strong jawline. Hugo's gaze briefly settled on that hand before meeting the frowning eyes again.

Somehow, he felt as if he was being scolded by a much younger child, but strangely, it wasn't so bad, so instead of a...

Jijel and the friend cradled in her arms became embarrassed simultaneously.
"Moradi. Didn't you say arms and legs would be broken and we'd have to crawl around with magic?"
"Oh my. Jijel likes to joke, that's why."
At her sister's brazen response, Jijel almost dropped Yi-Han.
"But the other knights of the family..."

With no one else in the training ground, Jicklin abandoned her usual strict demeanor and answered her sister's question more casually.

Hugo immediately held his breath and drew cold energy from his entire body. At the ominous energy gathering in his grasp, two of the mother body's eyes that had been looking upward came down at a terrifying speed.

Come to think of it, if it was a criminal, they should catch them.
As the famous imperial saying goes, 'Only two types of people live in the north, knights and criminals', the north was full of criminals who had fled there.
Being vast, harsh, and sparsely populated, it was perfect as a hideout.
Catching these criminals was also one of the duties of knight families.
