Chapter 355 – Ahead of Time.

“Do you understand Rald? Anything is fine. Gather information that will serve as his reins.”

The secret name of Grulur Hest, a respected grandmother and the current head of Hest.
Sword of madness. Instructor at Prunar Academy. And Prunar’s successors… All of them have titles that open their mouths.

‘Find information that can control him.’

Grulur, the head of Hest, thought that Love Yarte would become his reins.
But no.
He did not want Love Yarte to be a teenage family, and said he would raise the family’s status himself.

If it was Dre when we first met, I would have laughed at him, but… In fact, he restored his rise to some extent, and received the name of the sword of mad flames, gaining absolute support from the Holy Kingdom.

Furthermore, he developed one of his dreams as a wizard, ‘Young Magic’, and his status only grows day by day.

Not only did he use the ten heroes’ artifacts, but he also commanded the guardian spirits to possess legitimacy as the successor of the ten heroes.

Inmaek is also something that can never be ignored.
Hest investigated Dre thoroughly.
According to the information network built by people with the ability to hear the spirits of the earth or weapons, although not as much as Grize, Reina, the second most influential among the outsiders, as well as the instructors including the heart family, and the true warriors. He is also said to have formed friendly relations with No. 3 Poise.

Grullur thought that if he stayed here, he would only be dragged away.
Of course, I didn’t mean to get rid of him like Leo did or completely control him.
I just wanted this side to have a weakness that could be voiced.
All you want is ‘equal’

I explained this to Rald several times… But this girl, who seemed blunt but full of a sense of duty, burned with enthusiasm.

‘I would have dared to be arrogant with her grandmother.’

He heard about the riot at the Gaju meeting from his old friend Palyu.
While she was a contractor of the lower classes, she was told by an earth spirit who was also her contractor.

The unnecessary information she would not have known if Palyu hadn’t complained angered Lald.

‘I will definitely find out your weakness.’

Long ago. The ancestor who was with Prunar. I heard that the first Hest’s role was to support and assist rather than fight.
He thought that he would be a great assistant like his ancestors, and Lald continued to kill his presence.

Aside from her dislike, Dre’s senses were so great that he couldn’t let go of his nerves, as if he was going to get caught.
While desperately spreading seclusion using the characteristics of the earth spirits and dwarves, Lalded watched the situation without omission…

***

“Palace of Destiny?”
“Did you not know? Not long ago, Herrut, one of only three Emrepes, announced that he would bring people into his realm for the first time in several hundred years. People who want to make connections with him are flocking like clouds.”
“Is Kitz one of them?”

It was a bit odd.
He’s more suited to people coming than to go himself…
[You rate it highly without knowing it.]
Shut up.
Since he’s a regressor, there must be a reason why he went to see Huroot or something at this time. What.
However, Medeus said while maintaining a smile.

“You don’t seem to be trusted?”
“Yes?”
“I heard that the famous Hakguja-nim and the bandit Rabband-nim, who are the true warrior’s colleagues, and the heroic saint Mary went together.”
“What about the other two?”
“…? Ah. I heard that there are two more… Were they also colleagues?”

So what is a farmhand?
It seems that Garcinido and Homun are not famous yet.
In terms of fighting power alone, those two must be much stronger than Scholar hyung or Mari, who are support types.

“I’m not distrusted by true warriors.”
“Is that so? Ah… Excuse me. I’m sorry for that. I’m sorry…”
“In the first place, it’s not a colleague or anything, so where is the trust?”

Medea’s face hardened slightly.

“Uh… Yes?”
“It’s not like we’re hanging out together, so there’s nothing to feel bad about.”
“…So, you’re saying that the true hero and the two who received the name of the sword of mad flame are not on good terms…”
“Oh that.”

What do you keep digging into?
As he glared at him, Medeus flinched.

“Should I tell you all about our case?”

I still don’t like him, but he’s annoying me

“…No. Excuse me.”

Medeus keeps a smile on his face without showing his anger. That’s great.
He looked at Ashita who was beside him.
…Come to think of it, is it a little like that?
I was cuddling with her girlfriend in front of her boyfriend, right?
I was just angry.
I suddenly felt a little sorry.
[Do not lie.]
[I can feel that you are secretly happy, Drehem.]
Oh chewy. No privacy.
Sooner or later, I’ll have to research a way to keep my thoughts from being seen.
As we were talking to Dumb and Dumber, Ashita cleared her throat and pulled herself up.

“Asita. Haha. What about the clothes I sent you last time?”
“…It’s well kept in the closet.”
“Really? Haha.”

Laughing doesn’t seem like laughing.
It was clear that Ashita acted subtly cold, and Medeus acted in an acting tone.

“I’m sorry. That must have been pretty unpleasant to see.”

At my words, Medeus only glanced at me.

“No. My boyfriend isn’t the kind of person to talk like that, is he?”
“Is that so?”
“…Haha. Of course Ashita. It’s clear that your heart is with me, but is that much of a big deal?”

Medeus stares at me, emphasizing the heart part.

“But, I hope you don’t do it next time. Ah! I’m fine, but what will Instructor Dre’s reputation be when others see it? If they find out that the instructor was cuddling with a student…”
“Wow!”

Ashita screamed slightly.
I hugged you by the shoulders and hugged you.

“…”

With her mouth open, she let Asita go when she saw the hardened Medeus.

“What about you? I’m a lecturer-student, so you’ll understand.”
“…It will look like a student romance. Are you saying this?”
“I didn’t mean that.”

Momentary silence.
I took a deep breath and said.

“Don’t worry. It wasn’t something else, it was a class.”
“A class?”

Raised her hand and clapped it.

“I can energize myself and know the condition of the subject and what talents are inherent in it.”
Haha. You joke too much.”
“…?”

What are you kidding, bitch.

“That’s it. Stop it. Why is it wrong?”

Yapleno intervened with an awkward face.

“Haha. What’s wrong, Instructor Yapleno? I was just talking with my respected Instructor Dre.”
“Me too. I’m excited to talk to the high-ranking plain boy deficit.”

A child who can’t hide a pleasant expression because his nose is raised. Do you like empty words…?
Okay. This much I can tell you. So forget about cuddling with your girlfriend.

“Anyway, I’m glad you’ve improved a lot. Yapleno”
“What’s wrong. But you said you used my skills on a floating island?”

A mischievous look appeared on Yapleno’s face.

“Is it useful?”
“It was a great power.”
“Yes?”

Meanwhile, Yapleno glanced at Mayal.
But Mayal was staring at me.
It’s an ugly face

“Mei… Kuck!”

Someone reached out and grabbed me by the collar.
What kind of bastard… I thought it was Frostia.

“You, you! Aren’t you touching me too recklessly these days?!”
“Kuuk, kuk…! S, Stia…!”
“What! Apology!”
“That, if you hear it wrong, there is room for interpretation in a strange meaning.”

Frostia shook her collar with a face that looked like it was going to explode like an active volcano.
I treated her until the stress seemed to subside, then gave her a headbutt when her face changed from angry to triumphant.

“Kyaa?!”

Frostia sits down again.
It’s 36%, but my attack penetrates deep into my bones…!
No. Looking at it now, it’s 30%.
36% seems to be only a temporary increase.

“You, you…!”‘
“So who’s been playing that weird prank?”
“Profit…!”

While grinding my teeth, he gets up and points his finger at me.

“A present for me! The quality must be very high! If not…!”

If not. What are you
As if seeing her cute little brother, she happily waited for the rebellion.
Frostia muttered, um… Then she exclaimed as if she had remembered something good.

“I’ll tell Lena everything!”
“…”

What.
It’s downright scary.

“Ah, I see.”
“Whoops.”

He steps back, perhaps satisfied with my frightened expression.
Angry…
I looked back at the four people who were watching the skit.

“Then, instructor Yapleno. Mr. Medeus. I have something to say to my students, so would you please go first?”
“Student…?”
“Uh, wait. Mayal is listening to my lecture…?”

Medeus’ questionable murmur and startled Yapleno.

“As of today, you have become my student. Uh… Mayal…”
“Yes. I listened to Dr. Dre’s lecture, not that Dr. Dre. Up until now! Thank you for the passionate and passionate lectures. Instructor Yapleno!”

Mayal smiles brightly and writes onomatopoeia for the first time in a long time.
Cute.
His face turned pale with an expression as if he had lived through the world playing yaffle.
Medeus did not leave despite my words and stood still with a hard face.

“…I have something to tell only my students. It will take less than a minute, can’t that?”

When he said it a little fiercely, Medeus, who flinched, smiled and nodded his head.

“Ah. Ashita. I’ve found the store we promised. Let’s go together later.”
“…?”

Looking at Ashita tilting her head, I don’t think she understands.
Two people walking away. After confirming that I was quite far away, I looked at my students.

“Now then, you two. Starting tomorrow, only the two of you will be training first…”
“Why are you talking respectfully?”
“Right. It’s strange.”

Two growling.

“Originally, the official position was… Ah, anyway. From tomorrow, the two of us will continue training…”
“Huh? Are you going to do that in front of others?”
“Right. Something like that…”

Ashita and Mayal stare at each other slowly.
…These two don’t know each other’s training.
However, a sense of incongruity.
May Yal lost her memories of training with me and only knows that we hugged her. Is that something she should be ashamed of…?
[It’s a job.]
[The embarrassing older brother told me to think about how embarrassing and hurt it would be to be hugging a big brother Jeongbyeong in front of people… Kkeaaaaa! Wait a minute Drehe…]

Block.
Pack width hurts.
Okay. It’s worth it.

I want to ask the principal, but it hasn’t been long since she cutely threatened me that I’d be watching.
Well, finding a place to train is also a job.

“I’ll find a place where people won’t notice. Disbanded today!”
“Oh, yes!”
“Okay Drett.”

I turned my back and walked away.
Erasing the warm and soft touches from before…
…But the eyes behind my back do not leave.
The corner of the mouth rises happily.
Will you watch me until I can’t see you…?
At that time, Ashita shouted awkwardly, as if she had just remembered.

“Ah, de Dren!”
“Ok?”
“I’m not going there!”
“…Ah.”

That’s where Medeus was talking about.

“Okay.”
“By the way, Drett!”

Turning around at the questioning voice, Mayyal was tilting her head.

“Are you going with Stia?”
“?”
“?”

Turning around, Frostia tilted her head in an arrogant posture with her arms crossed.
Attitude as if it were natural.
…But. I’d rather stay with you until the advent rate drops.

“Uh. I’ll be with you for a while.”
“Yes…”

May Yal was a bit shy, but she couldn’t help it.
Anyway, that’s how she broke up with the two of them.
I can still feel the nostalgia of the two that clung to my body…

Okay then.
It’s time to do something you’ve been putting off for a while.
I don’t know where, but to interrogate the little girl who’s been following me.

***

“Oooooh~”

A pretty beauty with long, puffy hair stretched her.

“I just arrived~”
“I don’t know what’s taking so long to weed out the goofballs.”

A man with a piercing who responds to the woman’s words with a flirtatious tone and a gaze full of desire that he does not hide.

“Is this the Palace of Destiny?”

The hooded man who was leading the way muttered.
A huge castle stood in front of them.
It was built quite a long time ago, so it was an antique castle.

“It’s cool! I wanted to live in a place like that!”
“Isn’t it too big?”
“Ah. Ji-hyeon probably wants to live in a place with that kind of atmosphere~”

Ji-hyeon is exactly what a man with no special features would say! And pointed with his finger.
Those who have ten years of life… They are the employees of the ‘main store’.

They were the ones who came to meet the super-mage Herrut at the command of the president.

‘Joy. When I suggested that we go for eight days, I thoroughly ignored it, but I didn’t want to pamper it…’

Man in front. Ling Chaoxin didn’t like it.
Alternative eight. One man was afraid of what he was afraid of, so he was careful while reducing the influence that the head office had extended so far… He was dissatisfied with the high-ranking people.

Moreover, I didn’t like it even more that it was director Shin Jin-pae, who usually showed bold and enterprising moves, who ordered the action.

Employees tease him for being eight days old, but he’s afraid of something…

“If eight days come here, can I pass?”
“It’s impossible. How is that Porok bastard?”
“That’s right. I ate at the gate and now I’m going to challenge, it was fun. I’m doing it.”
“That’s what you said to Almiraz!”
“After that, I’ll kill you in anger. Are you doing that?”

Chao Xin looks at the men and women laughing and makes a pitiful expression.
Then, with respect, I see a man.
A handsome man with good looks.
Japanese American.
Shunichi Amy.

He was a person with a very large position in the main store, receiving an evaluation similar to Shin Jin-pae, who said that he would be recognized as a ranker immediately if there was an opportunity.

Like Nakamura, he was ranked third among men because he did not have the unique political power. Perhaps he was dissatisfied with that, but he was not on the roster for this expedition, but he secretly participated in the upper echelons.

When I saw his face in this country, I was shocked.
But he never felt bad.
He wasn’t a coercion who used his seat to press down on people below him, but rather created a comfortable atmosphere.

In the tedious process of being tested for the ‘qualification’ to meet Huroot at the gateway several tens of kilometers away from the Palace of Destiny, he was a person of character who, unlike the other employees, had no complaints.

No matter what his intention was, he couldn’t be so reassuring.
However, he was a little puzzled.
Although he usually fought a minimum power struggle, he did not pay much attention, obeyed the chairman’s orders, and rivaled the new group, but he was the one who got along well…

‘What about it?’

Chao Xin decided to just thank him for coming.
Shunichi noticed Chao Xin’s gaze and smiled, then opened his mouth.

“The road is busy, so stop going.”

Indeed, at his words, the crickets stop chattering and obey the words obediently.
The people of the main store arrived at the Palace of Destiny, and like other castles, they were inspected to make sure they didn’t have dangerous substances and headed upstairs.

‘It’s nothing special for something that has been hidden for hundreds of years…’

As soon as I was about to feel a little disappointed, I arrived at the huge gate.
The waitress boy, who was guiding them, looked very young and said with a bow.

“Hereut-sama is in here. I hope you don’t offend me…”

Most of the head office sneered inwardly at the boy’s tone of voice imitating an adult, but answered yes politely on the outside.
Then the door opened… Qiao Xin saw a man sitting on a throne in the distance.

It really feels like the archmage in the picture has been brought out into reality.
A white beard with long white hair hanging over the eyebrows and chin. Jagged wrinkles.
If it wasn’t for the huge cane and the clothes that were splendidly remodeled, I would have thought that he was just an old man who would soon die of old age.

When I was worried about whether some of the main stores were in such an old state, their minds were okay, the guide boy who guided them said.

“Herut-nim. Guests have arrived.”
“The representative is forward.”

Fortunately, the old man spoke in a clear voice.
A relieved Chao Xin looked at Shunichi, and he opened his mouth to ask you to leave.
Feeling grateful, Shunichi stepped forward…

“Huh…”

Hur Root stroked his beard and grinned, making it harden.
He only laughed, but the thick mana overwhelmed him.

“…!”

Is this some kind of test?

‘Yes, this should be enough for Emrepes…!’

Chao Xin, who felt a sense of victory, tried to raise his strength.
But Harut wasn’t putting pressure on him.
It was just a ‘slightly’ release of mana that was suppressed out of curiosity.

With that alone, Chao Xin, who was called a promising player in the head office, was limited in his strength.
Realizing this, Chao Xin broke into a cold sweat and waited for Huroot to speak.

Soon, Her Root said with his eyes bright.

“A person has descended again…”
“Yes?”

Hart laughed and said.

“Ask me one.”

Hurrut said to everyone at the head office who straightened their postures without any ignorance from earlier.

“What do you think God is?

***

That’s amazing
I could definitely feel the years following me, whether it was Rald or Cheek.
But I don’t know exactly where.
It’s the same even now when I come to my office.
It must be somewhere in this building…

“It’s a strange sign.”
“It’s the dwarves’ trivial tricks.”

As expected, Frostia was also feeling the signs of the year.

“Remnants?”
“It’s the way we used to run away from dragons.”
“…Ah.”

Dwarves have an image of being exploited by dragons.
Come to think of it, the head of Hest was also frightened by Frostia.
I didn’t know at the time, but maybe it was because of my dwarf instincts.

By the way, Frostia is sitting on a rocking chair in my lab and forgot a snack while moving her body.
Cute…
[That’s right!]
[Crazy guys…]

Crazy is you
Even if I act recklessly these days, how noble I am after all…!

“What is it, my dear? You’re looking at me like that. Do you want me to pick you up myself?”
“No, thanks.”

After you catch that girl, what the hell are you going to ask for?
I shook my head and got up.
I was wondering what to do, so I left it alone, but now I’m tired of it.
I’ll find out and ask what the plan is.
Looking for exercise and play?

Rattle.

Just when I thought, the door opened.
There stood the jjarimongtannyeon that I was trying to catch just now.

He hid well and never thought he would come on his own.

“Huh. What…”

Then I realized.
Rald’s eyes were originally brown, close to black.
Now… It glows crimson.
I know a woman with eyes like that.

“Dre.”

Her voice overlapped with Rald’s.

“…I’m here.”
“…Heston.”

Heston borrowed Lald’s body and descended.
