“Follow me. “Bring your weapons.”
Ronan came out of the building. His members followed him while tilting their heads.
They took their seats at Nest’s training ground. After confirming that everyone had weapons, Ronan opened his mouth.
“I’ll explain it briefly, so listen carefully. “As you all know, I am under a curse.”
There was no reason to hide it now. Ronan briefly explained the situation he now found himself in.
That a curse is blocking the possibility of becoming stronger, that Haeju is indispensable in order to overcome limitations and grow, and that even the fact that one must leave the place is necessary. Asher asked with concern in his voice.
“Jo, how about doing Haeju after you graduate?”
“It’s late by then. “I don’t know how long it will take, but if you have talent, you should nurture it as young as possible.”
“Do you think it will take a very long time?”
“I don’t know. So, you even borrowed these advanced tools.”
Ronan held up the bracelet. I thought it would be a bit of a surprise, but surprisingly, Butterfly Rose willingly lent me the bracelet. Although there was a condition to double the training time after completing the training.
“Fight with all your might. “Only then will you be able to understand the direction of your training.”
“···I guess that’s why I called you today.”
“okay. If I come back and have no achievements, I’ll just lose everything. By the way, I also brought a teaching assistant who will coach you perfectly.”
“assistant?”
“ok. “It just so happens to be over there.”
Ronan pointed to the back of the training ground with the tip of his chin. The members turned their heads.
A tall girl was walking with long strides. There were various documents and a small bell pinned to her slim side. She stood next to Ronan and greeted him kindly.
“hi. “It’s been a while, everyone.”
“oh. Last time, you were senior Adeshan, right?”
“huh. Nice to meet you, Marya. “Is everything going well at the top?”
Adeshan smiled warmly. Marja’s eyes widened. I only met her in passing, but I had no idea she even remembered what she did. She looked around at her members and smiled.
“Can’t you see the morning star of the empire? “Did you not call me on purpose?”
“That bastard will take care of it. “He is also an awakened Auror.”
Ronan shook his head. I don’t know about other people, but I wasn’t as worried as Schlieffen. To be honest, even if he sparred with all of Phileon’s upperclassmen, there was a strong chance that that unlucky guy would win.
“Senior has good eyes. “I will understand how you fight and suggest future training directions, so all you have to do is attack until the information accumulates.”
“indeed. “For this kind of work, there is no one as talented as you.”
Braum slowly remembered. As a student of Nabirose’s class, he was well aware of Adeshan’s abilities. She was able to monitor nearly thirty people at once and correct their movements. Ronan said.
“Then let’s begin. senior?”
“Oh, yes.”
Jingling… Adeshan shook the bell he was holding. A clear sound announced that the battle had begun, but no one moved. The dumbfounded members were taking turns looking at each other’s faces.
“You said it started?”
Ronan pulled at the hilt of his sword. Sgak! A wide horizontal slash passed through the waist of four people. The figures of Asher, Marja, and Braum disappeared from sight. Ronan looked at the one remaining and shrugged his eyebrows.
“You’re the only one who held out. After all, you can’t ignore age.”
“Huh…!”
Ophelia, the only one who succeeded in pulling away, chewed her lips. Tootuk. Blood dripped from her stomach. Her steps were so fast that she wasn’t able to completely dodge.
“You… are sincere…”
“You better do it right. “You wouldn’t say it’s at a disadvantage because it’s daytime, right?”
Ronan kicked the ground and rushed forward again. Ophelia whispered a spell. Wow! The wolf’s bloody maw erupted from the ground and swallowed Ronan.
“Don’t say things like that.”
Ophelia clenched her fists. A huge magic circle was created above the wolf’s head. Shoot! Swords made of shadows poured down from inside the magic circle. It felt like black rain was falling.
“I’m sick…I’m sleepy…”
In its original form, it was a technique that would tear it to shreds and leave no trace. It was the moment when Ophelia, convinced of Ronan’s elimination, turned her body. A familiar voice came from behind.
“Get treatment and come out. Because Sita is waiting.”
“what···?”
Sigh! The wolf’s head was split in half. The crescent-shaped sword that flew in a straight line attacked Ophelia.
There was no time to react. Ugh! Her figure, hit directly by sword energy, distorted and disappeared. The shadowy weapons that were pouring down also dispersed like smoke. Ronan grunted, spitting on the floor.
“They have no inspiration. “I’m going to roll over a few times.”
-Kwasik!
It was then. The door to the club building opened with the sound of wood breaking. The three members who were eliminated earlier appeared.
“hey! Where is that all of a sudden? Really, Bae?!”
“Lord, I thought I was going to die…!”
“Hmm. “It’s a bad feeling even if it happens again.”
The eyes of the members who faced the absurd death were noticeably different from before. Marya, holding the great sword once, kicked the ground and rushed at her.
“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I can’t live with this. let’s go!”
“I agree!”
“Now, wait! Ophelia is still there…!”
Braum also launched himself using his great shield. Asher shouted in a panicked voice, but the two did not stop.
Ronan, who confirmed that they were within range, swung his sword indifferently. Quaaaang! An explosion occurred as soon as a wide sword was fired.
“Hahaha! “This is really good!”
Braum’s boisterous laughter rang out from within the smoke. There was not a single scratch left on the great shield that blocked the sword energy.
“As expected, they make it well.”
It was the car Ronan was muttering about. fault! Marya jumped up while stepping on Braum’s shoulder and swung her great sword vertically.
“Haaaab!”
“It’s pretty good.”
Ronan raised his eyebrows. The feeling of intimidation was considerable. Her great sword, which became heavier as it contained mana, was completely stained a blue indigo color.
Because of this, a head-to-head match was impossible. Ronan was just about to twist his shoulder to avoid it.
“G-gravity bind!”
A frightened voice echoed from afar. At the same time, four magic circles were created in the air. Sigh! Transparent chains extending from the magic circle instantly wrapped around Ronan’s limbs.
“How much?”
Ronan turned his head and laughed. Asher stretched out her hand and aimed it at him. Even from here I could see her legs shaking.
“I’m sorry, Ronan…! But because you told me to do it…!”
“It seems like there was some emotion involved.”
It seemed like he had read Vajra quite intently. It was a much more advanced magic than the Invisible Hand that Asher usually used. No matter how hard I tried, my body wouldn’t move. Ronan, who felt somewhat proud, laughed.
“You guys worked hard.”
“good job! Cutie!”
Marya sang happily. The great sword, which was coming down in a blue arc, was about to touch Ronan’s collarbone.
“Then, let me try my best.”
Ronan switched the power source. A golden energy rose up his right arm. It was Varen’s aura that amplified power.
When I swung my arm, the stem wrapped around my wrist was torn off helplessly. Sgak! Ronan, clutching La Mancha, cut off the rest of his chains.
“Uh, Gravity Bind!”
Asher’s mouth opened wide. He didn’t expect that he would be destroyed so easily.
As Ronan twisted his shoulder, Marya’s great sword struck the floor. Kuaaaaang! A huge crack appeared and the shattered pavement bounced up.
“Oh, no···!”
Marya’s expression distorted as the attack missed. Ronan had no intention of waiting for her to draw her greatsword. Suddenly. As Ronan lightly swung her sword, Marya’s form distorted and disappeared.
“Marya!!”
An excited Braum came running, pounding. The biggest advantage of this training was that it allowed you to become overly immersed. In the other hand that was not holding a shield, a sharp one-handed sword was held.
Sword and shield. Not bad. Ronan muttered and pulled out the dagger Ymir. Wedge! The moment he swung his arm, Braum stopped and raised his shield.
“Hmm!”
“You idiot. “You have to protect the wizard first.”
Braum’s face hardened. When he hurriedly turned his head, his dagger had already reached in front of Asher’s eyebrows. Before Braum could shout out anything, Asher’s form distorted and disappeared. Sigh! Ymir flew all the way and got stuck in the outer wall of the club building.
“You can’t even look away. “You are the vanguard.”
Ronan’s voice came from right in front of me. A chill ran down Braum’s spine. When I looked down, I saw Ronan scratching his head.
“Ughhhhh!”
He was already inside the shield. Suddenly. Braum’s figure disappeared along with the sound of a sword cutting through the air. It was about three minutes later that the members reappeared.
“Seed! again!”
“I think we should all go together. “I never thought I would become this strong…”
The members reappeared. I liked his eyes, which were even more venomous than before. Adeshan continued to record their movements and habits on paper. As she was sketching Marya’s sword technique, she expressed her admiration.
“It’s amazing… they’re all far above standard skills.”
“Don’t you think it would be fun to teach?”
“huh. All four of you are the type of person who will reap more than what you sow. “To begin with, I don’t have the skills to teach anything…”
“Be confident. “I have yet to see anyone more talented in this area than my senior.”
Ronan tapped Adeshan on the shoulder. She smiled brightly and nodded her head. Marja finished her preparations and let out a roar.
“let’s go-!!”
“I’ll bind your feet first with blood magic…”
This time, all four people rushed forward. With Ophelia joining in, the attack definitely became more fierce.
Ronan subdued all of the members with exactly four slashes. Craddangtangtang! Soon after the sound of falling down the stairs was heard, the door to the club opened.
“again!”
Adeshan’s intelligence gathering ended around the time they died about five times. However, the evil members did not stop attacking until the sun went down. Marya, who was exactly the 27th person to die, glared at Ronan and growled.
“Ugh… if you’ve done this… ugh, die at least once…!”
“no.”
“To the world… shameful…”
Slurp. Marja, who was supporting her body with her sword, fell to the floor. He was the last one eliminated. Around them, Asher, Braum, and Ophelia, who had already been exhausted, were spread out like corpses.
Ronan never died. He was just astonished throughout the battle. The skills of his subordinates were several times better than he expected.
‘Some times it was really dangerous.’
In fact, if I cracked it two or three times, I almost died. That alone showed how hard I had worked. As he was reliving the dangerous moment, he looked back at his teammates and muttered.
“thanks. “You idiots.”
I felt like I could leave without worrying.
****
Ronan thought a lot after hearing from Secret that it might take a long time. He said it was because of the variables that could arise during his absence.
‘It’s not easy.’
The biggest threat was, of course, Nebula Clazier. There was no answer when powerful people as strong as the branch manager came in. Because at the moment, Ronan was the only one who could cut down the star’s protection.
‘Still, such a big guy won’t invade the center of the system. The traces of mana were also clearly erased.’
The good news is that the possibility of that happening is slim. The church had no clues that could lead them to Ronan’s residence.
Ronan recalled what Terranil had said. He said he was tracked down by following Mana’s traces left at the scene. That means that if you just remove the evidence, there is no way to trace it.
‘I did a good job killing them both, even if I overdid it.’
Ronan breathed a sigh of relief. The first thing he did after killing Terranil and Yuria was to erase all traces left at the scene. Since Sita and the sensitive Schlieffen helped with the work, the action was probably certain.
‘I did everything I could.’
The steps you can take before leaving are over. I established the direction of the members and also ensured my sister’s safety. Unless the Advent incident happened sooner, nothing major would happen.
‘Then… let’s go to the Last Supper.’
Ronan opened the door and came out. He has been in his new home in the islands since last night. Before he did something big, he wanted to have one last meal with his sister.
In Ronan’s left hand, he held a letter from Secret that Haeju’s preparations were complete. Before I even stepped foot on the stairs, a delicious smell wafted from downstairs. It was the smell of Iril’s patented potato stew.
“You’re like a big sister.”
This was the moment when Ronan, who had just come down to the first floor, raised his head. A kitchen full of people came into view. Ronan laughed as he saw everyone turning their heads to look at him.
“···Why did so many people gather together?”
