When the 4-hour speaker training ended, the students were exhausted.
Among those who were breathing hard and showing signs of exhaustion were Mark and Maria, who were close friends of Sirone.
“long time no see.”
As Sirone approached with a smile, Mark forgot about his hardships and jumped up.
“Seniors! “I really didn’t know you were coming.”
Although the time they met was short, Mark and Maria also took the graduation exam together with Fichot.
“huh. “You heard it too.”
“yes. Mark, who was not showing it, but was watching his friends’ thoughts, blushed and spoke as if he had suddenly thought of something.
“I’m sorry, senior. “I wanted to catch up quickly, but I’m still in my senior year.”
This is not something you can do with just motivation.
Shirone had already graduated, so when I thought back to that time when I was in despair, I was dizzy as to how I did it.
“are you okay. “You’re moving forward.”
Mark was also proud of that.
“Sure. “I will never give up.”
As the students left for lunch, Sirone and his group talked with the teachers in the teacher’s office.
“uh? But what about Teacher Etela?” It wasn’t visible even during class, and even the desk in the teacher’s office was missing.
“Teacher Etella…
Shiina chose her words carefully.
“You left school.”
“You left? “Where?”
“that is??????
Shiina was trying to choose her words again, but couldn’t find any words to explain to Shirone.
Alpheas turned his horse.
“So where do you plan on going now? “There are three days left until Pishaw’s funeral, so I should go home too.”
“My parents are staying with the Augent family. “I plan to stay there too.”
As he spoke, Shirone also realized something.
‘Ryan isn’t there.’
There was no one to defend Guy over his death, not even his parents.
‘It’s better.’
In order to rebuild your heart, you must avoid hiding behind someone.
Shirone and his party left the Alpheas Magic School after their brief meeting.
Since we would be meeting again at the funeral, I decided to ask about Etella then.
Amy asked from the noble section.
“I’m going back to my hometown. Would you like Maya to go with me? “I don’t have anywhere to stay anyway.”
“are you okay. “You can sleep at the hotel.” Sirone tried to stop him.
“no. He’s famous. Besides,
there are no people from the agency, right?”
Falmouth had separately requested the army to move and was coming down via a different route.
“Don’t do that, let’s go together. “Is it because you feel uncomfortable being with me?”
“No, absolutely not!”
Maya jumped up and denied it, but it was true that it was not a comfortable position for her to be human.
“Then how about going to Ogent?”
“Oh no… that too.”
This time, Maya waved her hand, but she seemed much more hesitant than the first time.
“Just let me stay at the hotel. “I’ll sleep in a nice place, so I won’t need security.”
Sirone also thought that a place where Maya would feel most comfortable would be good.
“okay. Then, see you in three days.”
“huh. “Good luck to you all.”
Maya, out of consideration for Amy, left first and headed to where the accommodations were.
“ha.”
It was a shame to break up with Sirone, but honestly, I felt much lighter now.
‘How long will it be like this?’
Neither Shirone nor Amy had the personality to hurt others, so being caught in the middle was even more miserable.
‘Shall I meet someone else?’
I heard the adage that you must forget the wounds of trials and become a new person.
But if it were as easy as it sounds, there would be no one in the world suffering from love fever.
‘A man who is cooler than Sirone…
Maya shook her head in frustration as she couldn’t immediately think of what it was.
‘I don’t know. ‘It’s also bad to think like this before your friend’s funeral.’
Although it was a luxury hotel, it was a four-story building because it was not as populated as the capital.
Maya’s popularity in Tormia was far greater than that of other countries, so noble youth recognized her.
“Hey there! Right?”
“uh? I think that’s right! This is my first time seeing it this close. “What’s going on with Creas?”
“I know. “I think I came alone.”
As Maya, who had rented a room on the 4th floor, walked up the central stairs, the young men made eye contact.
“Shall we ask you to play together?” We had to break even.
The Cross family’s training room. Kayden was sitting cross-legged in a narrow stone room that could barely fit a desk.
“The Fate of the Red Cross.”
After leaving magic school and returning to his home, he spent his time only in the training room.
“It’s time to go Kayden.”
Kayden’s father opened the door and came in.
He turned his gaze to the portraits of Maya tightly packed in the stone chamber and let out a sigh.
‘How long…
At first, I asked who it was, but Kayden didn’t say anything.
However, as time passed, I learned that the person in the portrait was Maya, a world-famous singer.
‘How old are you, but you fell in love with Yein?’
Kayden opened his mouth.
“We’ll leave in one more hour.”
“Hey, at least you shouldn’t be late for your classmate’s funeral. “How long are you going to live like this?”
The world is cloudy.
Even though it is time for the Cross family, Tormia’s representative bloodline, to step forward, the enemy is crazy about being a singer.
“Tell me something. Even when I left magic school, I didn’t say anything. But what is this? “I don’t even practice, I just lock myself away every day and draw.”
“There is no need for training, father.”
My father asked with expectant eyes, as he was worthy of the name Kayden.
“…Have you gained some kind of enlightenment?”
“There is no need for enlightenment.”
“Then what is it! “What on earth did you do while you were stuck here for so long?”
“I accept it.”
As golden energy emanated from Kayden’s body, his father took a step back.
“This is…
the Red Cross of Sacrifice.
From the beginning, what Kayden needed was not intense training or ultimate enlightenment.
“It’s about accepting fate.” Give up on Maya.
If that were possible, the Red Cross would elevate Kayden to the strongest being in history.

Upon arriving at the Augent household, Sirone shed tears upon reuniting with her parents.
The head of the family, Bischoff, and Raina, who had come down to the main house at the same time, were watching the scene with satisfaction.
But the emotion was short-lived, and Sirone’s face soon turned cold as he walked away from his parents.
“I have something I want to tell you.”
“okay. “There’s a lot we want to hear too.” Bischoff sat down at the head of the table and offered a seat, but Sirone knelt down on the cold floor.
Reina stood up again.
“Sirone? what are you doing? “Why are you doing this?”
“Just a moment… please listen to me.”
Sirone’s serious tone made Reina sit down again and the conversation began.
He spoke in a calm tone, but spoke honestly.
From the time I first met Guy to the incident where Yahweh’s anger was unleashed, which I had no memory of.
“Onii-san Guy…
Guy is dead.
Vincent and Olina buried their faces in their hands, and Raina’s knees buckled as she stumbled.
“Oppa… Oppa…
Raina couldn’t hold it in the end
and burst into tears.
Even though the pain was like a dagger stabbing his heart, Sirone just looked down at the ground.
“I’m the one who killed Guy.”
As Sirone stated the facts once again, Bischoff was the first to speak.
There was anger that could not be hidden.
“Does Ryan know?”
“yes.”
“What did he say?”
“It has nothing to do with Ryan.”
Sirone was adamant, and Bischoff also clearly saw what action Ryan would have taken.
‘It’s not Sirone’s fault.’
Anyone would think so, but from Bischoff’s perspective, his son was dead.
“Guy betrayed humanity. It tarnished the family’s honor. “No one in the world will blame you.”
“That’s why I came here.”
Bischoff stood up.
“I guess so. For you are my son’s enemy. So… what are you going to do now?”
Reyna, who was sobbing, opened her eyes wide when she saw Bischoff pulling out his sword.
“Dad, what are you doing now?” As the blade approached Sirone, Vincent and Olina’s faces turned pale.
“Matriarch…
Vincent spoke in a trembling voice, but Bischoff’s spirit did not falter.
“Why is that? “My child is dead, but are you telling me to just forgive Mr. Vincent’s child?”
“That…
Vincent kept his mouth shut.
If the dead person had been Sirone and not Guy, would he have been able to forgive the Augent family?
“Let me ask you something.” Sirone raised his head with the knife hanging from his throat.
“Say yes.”
“Really… you really couldn’t help it? I know how strong you are. “Are you sure you had no other choice but to kill him?”
“no.”
Bischoff’s face twisted.
“Choose your words carefully.”
Sirone thought again.
“I’ve already thought about it countless times. The answer is the same. “If I had used better judgment, Guy wouldn’t have died.”
“ha.”
Bischoff put away his sword and returned to his seat.
“Why don’t you make excuses? You know I need a reason to forgive you, right? Do you want to be an enemy? Even so, we don’t have the power to kill you.”
“I don’t know.”
Sirone spoke honestly.
“What should I do? “I just felt like I could get the answer if I came here.”
Because it is not an answer you can find on your own.
“good.”
Bischoff said.
“Even if I forgive, nothing will change. This is a matter of emotions. And emotions take time.”
I could understand.
No, just being able to suppress his emotions to this extent made Bischoff a superhuman.
“There is one condition.’’
Because Daejikdo’s ethos is not cowardly, Shirone nodded obediently.
“yes. “I will follow anything.”
“Forget it. I give permission. “Don’t worry about Guy until at least this war is over.”
“Matriarch…
“It’s not for you. “Because from now on you must show that my son’s death was not in vain.” Tears flowed down Sirone’s cheeks.
“thank you. thank you.”
I finally realized why I thought the Augent family would have the answer.
There was a sense of pride here.
“Then let’s go.”
As Sirone prepared to leave, Vincent and Olina stood up to follow him.
“Matriarch, then we too… Reina came forward.
“That’s what Dad said. What if I really send it to you? Shirone’s parents are also in trouble.”
Not accepting Sirone was a form of corporal punishment, but there was no need to complicate the situation.
Bischoff, who had been looking at Raina, stood up as if he had made up his mind.
“Okay, let’s go. I also need to let you know about Guy’s death. Shirone, you too, follow me.”
Reyna asked.
“You’re going out together? “Two people?” Bischoff, ignoring his daughter’s words, turned to Shirone and said.
“Are you drinking?”
