"Let's go! Time to show our abilities!" the alchemist declared with a determined expression.
Yi-Han was slightly taken aback and asked, "Hmm. I'd like to meet Yonaire from the Maykin family..."
"Ah. What a coincidence. The person evaluating us today is none other than Miss Yonaire from the Maykin family. Just follow me," the alchemist replied.
Yi-Han was delighted by the alchemist's words. He had felt bad about interrupting the Maykin famil...

The majority of the Cavalry members were not well-versed in dancing the Rancha, so unlike the Imperial Palace party, only a few participated in the dance. Although it was an invitation they received after achieving great feats, there was no atmosphere of disrespect for not dancing. At this rate, the only thing people would remember from today's party would be the dance of the Cavalry Commander, Duke Peletta, and his Assistant.
A peculiar relationship w...

Yuder followed the hand that elegantly held and led him, passing through the wide-open door.
The grand melody of the Rancha dance resounded loudly. It was natural, as it was different from the imperial palace party where Kishiar had the privilege to choose the music first. Although it was a completely different dance tune from the Avitan, which was originally danced by the commoner, Yuder was not perplexed or concerned. He placed his hand against Kishi...

"It wasn't as grand as this, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. The atmosphere was cozy with only a small number of family members and witnesses participating. I received a seal ring engraved with a phrase I personally created, had a meal, and after that night passed, I went to Peletta by dawn."
Kishiar's voice was very soft. Everyone was excited and cheering, so no one pai...

While solving the challenges, had the participants shown signs of hesitation or weariness, others might have suggested, "Let's call it a day." But the freshmen were performing so exceptionally that everyone was overly enthusiastic, urging them on.
This left Doin feeling utterly miserable.
His mana was rapidly depleting.
"We're ready."
Yi-Han's words sounded almost scary now.
Doin wiped the sweat from his forehead and sent a desp...

'Oh no. What was I thinking?' Yi-Han quickly came to his senses.
Of course, the educational environment at Baldurguard was slightly more comfortable than Einroguard, but that didn't necessarily correlate with magical prowess. Graduates from Baldurguard could also be outstanding mages.
Moreover, his opponent was a graduate. As a mere first-year student, Yi-Han couldn't afford to underestimate him.

Yi-Han hesitated when someone other than Asan came out as the elder of the family.
'What is this? Is it a trap?' he thought.
Could it be that Asan was using this tactic because he didn't want to pay back the silver coins he borrowed?
'No. Asan isn't that wicked.'
However, he couldn't let his guard down.
Even if Asan wasn't like that, other members of the family could use cowardly tactics.
Just because they were nobles didn...

General Gino Bordelli was respected for many reasons, but one of them was his ability to not openly display personal connections or feelings in public settings. He would exceptionally show a friendly attitude and laughter to Kishiar, who was of imperial blood and he had taught sword in his youth, but even that was closer to the appearance of an old retainer, as he claimed to be.

"No. It's nothing," he quickly changed the subject, not wanting to worry the kind old knight unnecessarily.
"What are your plans for the break, Young Master Yi-Han? If there's anything you need, this Arlong will do his best to assist you," the knight offered.

'What a shame,' Yi-Han thought regretfully, as the skull principal saw through his true feelings.
In a situation where there was only one suspect, he could not have talked his way out.
The skull principal narrowed his blue pupils and stared at Yi-Han. It seemed like he was having suspicious thoughts...
"No, it's not like that," Yi-Han said.
Indeed. He probably wouldn't have time to spread useless rumors anyway. "Have a good break."

The last moments in the south passed by quickly. Most of the unit members had finished their preparations to leave, and some who had recovered relatively early from their injuries had already departed for the capital due to urgent matters. However, the majority of those who had made significant contributions in the recent battle, including the Deputy Commanders, remained, and the Cavalry Commander Kishiar and his aide Yuder were among them. The reason was si...

After the sweet rest following the massive battle ended, the Southern Branch of the Cavalry, which had begun to busily move again, was full of vitality. Of course, this was partly due to the fact that there were far more members and guests packed tightly than before, but there was a sense of leisure and liveliness overflowing everywhere that could never be explained by that alone.
However, the medical department was an exception to that.

No matter how accustomed Yuder had become to Kishiar's words and actions, there were still times when he couldn't help but ask for clarification. This was one of those moments. "The beauty in the tower... you say?"

Yi-Han's shock was so great that Professor Ku was taken aback, as if he had misheard the score.
"One point is really nothing. Why are you reacting like this?" Professor Ku asked.

In fact, when Chil had said, "If you're interested, you can try practicing it in advance," he hadn't actually expected Yi-Han to really do it.
Yi-Han would soon be taking his own first-year final exams, so he should be focusing on that. Why would he practice for the second-year final exams?

"This is a true test of skill. I'm sure the professor will understand," Yi-Han said.
Professor Uregor had done his best to create the problem, and Yi-Han had done his best to solve it. It was a fair match between them. In such a match, there should be no lingering resentment.
'He doesn't seem to have an understanding expression, though.'
Professor Uregor's expression was definitely not that of a teacher understanding his student's victory. ...

Thump, thump, thump.

"Why do you think... I would dislike it?"
Yuder answered honestly.

Looking down from above, Yuder could definitely see Kishiar's face a little better than before, which he liked.
