Checking the countless notification windows pouring in, he grabbed Leviathan Batu.
Torres will most likely do nothing in this exercise.
One of the basics of combat science, ‘the act of destroying and destroying humans.’
Before going into this in earnest, Torres has a huge flaw that must be corrected.
Torres’ talent is excellent.
Nevertheless, the reason he did not stand out in the first semester and stayed in the middle is not simply because he started late.
It was because of this shortcoming.
It has a lot to do with what Torres lacks, as described above.
Torres is far better at getting hit than dealing damage when it comes to human opponents.
And in ＜A.Chun.Mang>, Torres’s weakness was that he presented a huge sweet potato to Jessie who became mine.
But things changed after I came here. Not only did Jessie move away from the worries of demonization, but in the first place, the ＜All About Combat> students, including Torres, were nurtured to protect me from the ‘Demons’, so Torres’s weakness as ‘humans’ is just thought insignificant.
However, as in the case of Greenwood the other day, the danger here is not limited to demons.

Moreover, Torres’ current goal is to become a wall for Jesse.
To do that, of course, he had to be able to show his talent not only against demons, but also against humans.
“Do your best to fight.”
He said this, but he spit it out knowing that Torres couldn’t do his best.
Because that ‘disadvantage’ wasn’t something that could be fixed simply by making a decision.
Unsurprisingly, Torres gave me a mix of hesitant movements, which caused me to take a full blow.
Even the natural movements that would have been moved by an instinctive unit were stopped just because the opponent in front of them was a human being.
A moment’s hesitation distracted the ‘brother’, and it completely led to Torres’ gap.
If it was a normal lecture, I would have stopped in the middle to give feedback, but this ‘seasonal semester’ is different.
I’m not trying to teach you something that can be understood or understood by explanation.
Bubbly!
It is engraved into Torres’ body without any feedback.
As Leviathan digs right into Torres’ gap, a moan follows.
It is said that he did not wear an Auror, but since Leviathan itself is a divine being, it will not be easy to endure.
After repeating this process several times, Torres became a rag.
There is no point in continuing.
Torres still didn’t realize it himself.
‘Wanting to be satisfied with the first drink is probably greed.’
I swallowed my regret and opened my mouth.
“That’s all for today.”
* * *
Lucas completely disappeared, and Torres lay flat on the floor of the gym.
A great pain pierces through.
You can tell without looking. He probably had bruises all over his body.
Torres looked back at the match against Lucas a while ago.
To put it in a nutshell, it was sloppy.
But it was strange.
Clearly, he had read all of Lucas’ attacks.
To be precise, it would be correct to say that Lucas ‘let him read’.
Because Lucas’ older brother was the pinnacle of monotony.
No, beyond the feeling of being monotonous, I realized the older brother with just one movement.
If you can’t read the attack from the same posture and the same position for more than 2 hours, then you probably don’t qualify as a student for ＜All About Combat> that Lucas chose.

Moreover, Torres possesses a talent recognized by Lucas.
Obviously, the ‘brother’ that Lucas saw could be read.
But he couldn’t stop the attack even once.
I read ‘Brother’, but I only read it. I couldn’t possibly stop it.
I had to feel a sense of intimidation, as if Taesan was being crushed by the honestly approaching attack.
It’s not just that the momentum couldn’t stop it.
It was a feeling of being stuck in something fundamental, something fundamental.
‘It must be what the professor wants to find out.’

Victor, who had arrived at Lucas’ mansion first, was in the process of manufacturing a new drug under Lucas’ order.
“It is more effective than Muzik, but it should be single-shot and there should be no side effects.”
At first glance, it sounds like a great drug.
But in reality, it was close to being useless garbage.
It is good that there are no side effects.
But the spontaneity is a problem.
Even if there are no side effects, it has no utility value.
Above all, it is clear that the preparation process is complicated.
There was a process of ‘minicization’ at the base of Musik’s ability to amplify.
The energy generated by the conversion of magical power into magic had the effect of amplifying the potential.
However, what Lucas wants is a drug with medicinal effects that can eliminate this mentalization process and increase the potential.
“Is it possible?”
“… … It will not be impossible.”
It’s tricky, but it won’t be impossible.
“But there is a problem.”
“what?”
“In that case, you may be intoxicated with the suddenly increased ability after taking it, and you may not be able to fully use that ability. Then it will be worse than not taking the medicine.”
“Does not matter. Rather, make it happen.”
“yes?”
Obviously he talked about the side effects, but Lucas welcomed it.
situation is unknown.
‘Is there anything special about karamyeon?’
It’s something that Lucas, not anyone else, makes it happen.
There must be some reason.
Above all, studying while being treated like this was an unfamiliar experience for Victor.
In a world where magic was the mainstream, his research was fringe, and no one paid any attention to his research until the real achievement of musik.
But Lucas was different.
Except for Musik, he was the only person who fully understood his research.
It wasn’t just because of the deal, but Lucas’s respect was unconsciously affecting him.
And the biggest advantage of amplifying the research enthusiasm was-
It’s money too.
The environment is overwhelmingly better than when I made Musik by myself.
Although Lucas is a noble aristocrat who only received the mansion, he has the support of the continent’s wealthiest royal family, Aerok, and the salary he receives from Grasco is not lacking either. In addition, the royalties incurred by the thesis [Aspects of Battle with Demons seen from the situation of the Eastern Front], which he published as a combat science scholar, were also negligible, so there was no need to worry if there was a shortage of money.
Truly a dream situation.
“All right. Let’s make one.”
* * *
Romero receives dozens or hundreds of reports every day.
Among them, the most striking report.
That’s right, a report about Lucas.
A few days ago, a report came up saying that he had cleared out the troublesome monsters at the border, and now a report related to the trend of his mansion caught my eye.
‘Hmm… … .’
A report stating that the operation cost has increased significantly by accepting refugees in recent years.
Although the mansion was granted, it is first owned by the royal family, so all information related to the operating expenses is reported to the royal treasury.
Besides, since the owner is Lucas, the hottest person on the continent, Romero takes care of it himself.
Whatever the operating cost, it doesn’t matter.
Aeroque is the richest country on the continent, and above all, the cost to Lucas is not wasted.
For now, he was the face of Aerokk, and a symbol.
But it’s oddly interesting.
I guess I’m just curious.
Usually, Lucas’ consumption pattern is frugal to the point of being sickly.
I don’t use it for anything.
The annual salary received at Grasco, and the royalties received from the published papers.
I didn’t use it as much as I thought I would pack it all up to the grave, but this operating expense was extremely contrary to Lucas’s usual pattern.
Under normal circumstances, it might have passed.
But it’s not Lucas.
attention is bound to be drawn
“I mean, it’s strangely caught.”
This sudden increase in consumption is strangely worrisome.
“I need to find out.”
Anyway, the regular audit season is coming soon, so that’s a good thing.

After returning to the mansion, my lifestyle became fixed.
After trying to correct Torres’s shortcomings, looking at Victor’s Jose, he raises the favorability of Prehiden’s people – more precisely, Anessa.
Anessa’s favorability does not refer to systemic favorability.
Literally, it was a real ‘feeling’.
In order to receive the curse placed on me by Anessa in the future.
There is no other way to build a crush on her.
I just go in and out of her workplace(?) once.
Isn’t there a saying that all good feelings start with face-to-face?
… … no
Anyway, first, I opened my face frequently to see if there were any inconveniences.
By the way.
“professor!”
For some reason, Lit seems to be there every time I come here.
It’s not because of Anessa’s friendship, it’s literally like a ‘guest’.
‘Well, it’s good if you get to know each other.’
I literally just shine my face once in a while.
If Anessa had a place to stick with someone other than Frechden here, that would be a huge advantage.
Besides, Ritt is my closest confidant.
Anyway, after completing this external task, you will receive a report on the living conditions of the mansion.
The actual housekeeping was entrusted to the butler who worked the longest in this mansion, but anyway, as the owner of this mansion does not change, I receive a brief report.
“We have completed the increased food bills, and we have also requested to purchase the ingredients that the owner has ordered us to get. It won’t be difficult to get it because Dust Industries has agreed to cooperate… … .”
Almost half of it is leaking.
Because it’s not my money anyway.
“The last agenda was an official notice from the center.”
“Announcement?”
The butler politely accepted the document and read it.
‘Is something to come?’

[Correspondence regarding royal audit]
From: Aeroque Treasury
To: Count Lucas von Krause
During the period below, an audit of the Krauss house, the property of the royal family, will be conducted, so please check the schedule and prepare for the audit process.

That is, the official notice that the royal family will conduct an audit.
Although it is said that this mansion was given to me by the king, it is truly the property of the Aerok royal family.
Read at noblemtl.com
Most of the budget is executed with the support of the royal family rather than my personal expenses.
This time, even in the case of living expenses of refugees, they received a subsidy from the royal family and executed it.
Not because I don’t have enough money, but ‘because I have to.’
Of course, in the case of Victor’s research fund, I’m doing it with my own money.
Anyway, this must have reached the ears of the Ministry of Finance, Romero to be exact.
The situation in my mansion right now is like a time bomb that doesn’t look strange when it explodes.
A criminal who is protecting the shaman and almost overthrows the country called Ermel is in.
The royal gratitude that came under such circumstances.
When we think of common sense, it is right to hide these situations.
However, if you just hide it, rather suspicious traces remain.
Romero is a powerful monarch.
There is a high probability that these small traces will not be missed.
So I would rather use this royal audit as an opportunity.
A chance to fool the eyes of the royal family.
“You must be thoroughly prepared.”
“Yes, our mansion is clean after all.”
… … Actually it’s not like that.
I couldn’t even utter those words to the proud butler.
