#123
“Follow me. “Bring your weapons.”
Ronan came out of the building. The 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.”
He had no reason to hide it now. Ronan briefly explained the situation he now found himself in.
A curse is blocking the possibility of becoming stronger. In order to overcome limitations and grow Haeju is essential. So even the fact that he has to leave. Asher asked with concern in his voice.
“How about graduating early and doing Haeju?”
“It’s late by then. “I don’t know how long it will take but if you have talent you should cultivate 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 his 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. “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 stuck in the slim side. Ronan stood next to her and greeted her kindly.
“hi. “It’s been a while everyone.”
“oh. “That guy from last time… he was senior Adeshan right?”
“huh. Nice to meet you Marya. “Is everything going well at the top?”
Ade Shan she smiled warmly. Marja’s eyes widened. I only met her in passing but I had no idea she even remembered what she was doing. 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 her 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. “We 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 yeah.”
Jingling… Ade Shan shook the bell she 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 tugged at the hilt of her sword. Sgak! A wide horizontal slash passed through the waist of four people. The figures of Asher and Marya Braum disappeared from sight. Ronan shrugged his eyebrows when he saw the one person left.
“You’re the only one who held out. After all you can’t ignore age.”
“Huh…!”
Ophelia the only one who managed to pull away chewed her lips. Tootuk. She had blood dripping from her stomach. Her steps were so fast that she wasn’t able to completely dodge.
“You… are serious….”
“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 her spell. Wow! The wolf’s maw of her blood surged from her 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 her.
“Get treatment and come out. Because Sita is waiting.”
“what…?”
Wow! The wolf’s head was split in half. The crescent-shaped sword energy that flew straight from her struck Ophelia.
There was no time for her 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?!”
“I thought you were going to die…!”
“Uhm. “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.
After confirming that they were within range Ronan swung her 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 the corner of her mouth. Her 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 her shoulder to avoid her.
“That 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 her magic circle instantly wrapped around Ronan’s limbs.
“How much?”
Ronan glanced at her 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 she tried her body wouldn’t move. Ronan who felt somewhat proud laughed.
“You guys worked hard.”
“good job! “Cute!”
Marja sang her delight. Her great sword coming down in a blue arc was about to touch Ronan’s collarbone.
“Then let me try my best.”
Ronan switched her power source. A golden energy rose up his right arm. It was Varen’s auror that amplified her power.
As she swung her arm the stem wrapped around her wrist was torn off helplessly. Sgak! Ronan who grabbed La Mancha cut off the rest of her chains.
“That gravity bind!”
Asher’s mouth opened wide. She didn’t expect to be destroyed so easily.
As Ronan twisted her shoulder Marja’s great sword struck her on 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. When Ronan lightly swung his 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 his other hand which was not holding her shield was a sharp one-handed sword.
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 the dagger had already reached Asher’s forehead. 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 him. 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 3 minutes later that the members reappeared.
“seed! Do it 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 techniques 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. “I don’t have the skills to teach anything in the first place but…”
“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 tie 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 his 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…huh die at least once…!”
“no.”
“In the world… so shameful….”
Slurp. Marja supporting her body with her great sword fell to the floor. He was the last one eliminated. Around them Asher and Braum Ophelia who had already been exhausted were spread out like corpses.
Ronan never died. However throughout the battle he was startled. The team members’ skills 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.
‘You did a good job killing them both even if it meant overdoing 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 much would happen.
‘Then…let’s go to the Last Supper.’
Ronan opened the door and came out. He had been in his new home in the island since last night. He wanted to have one last meal with his sister before doing something big.
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 caught his eye. Ronan chuckled at the sight of everyone turning their heads to look at him.
“…Why did so many people gather together?”
