175. Disciple, let’s check how big you are
* * *
In any case, the Daesurim Incident was over.
I never dreamed that Mine would entice the Elf and make the World Tree sick on its own.
Back in the ‘Golden Tree’, many people were armed and fighting.
With the death of the caster, most of the bugs lost their power, but it seems that there was a fierce battle before that.
Is it because we quickly got out of town? It was comforting that the sacrifice was less than I thought.
“Thanks to all of you, we were able to safely overcome this crisis.”
The elder bowed his head and expressed his gratitude. As the bugs disappeared, the World Tree gradually regained its original form. And we left the great forest and returned to Isstvan.
I thought I had done it as quickly as possible, but a week had passed just like that.
And reported the size of the damage to the League of Champions. The Union expressed condolences to the death of the brave Lanter.
‘… Who was it anyway? Who was the demon who seduced Gabriel and made the World Tree sick?’
The first mine that comes to mind is Dantalion.
It was because he was famous for playing the role of brains on the Mine side and plotting schemes.
In the original work, most of the events that put Arthur’s party in danger were operations that came from Dantalion’s head.
Or the Demon Cult.
The Demon Church was the largest group attached to the Mine side before the world was destroyed. As traitors to humanity, they do a lot of work with demonic limbs.
And this time, I also had something to reflect on. He did not use the holy sword even in dangerous situations. I didn’t take it out because I didn’t want to rely too much on Excalibur, but I think it was foolish.
Thanks to that, I was able to confirm my bond with Reus… .
I didn’t know that the opponent would use annoying abilities like spider webs. Next time, if it’s dangerous, I’ll take it out and use it right away.
Tesya-related things… .
Later, after a little more time, I thought we would open up and talk to each other.
I wasn’t playing with people, and it was ambiguous for me to approach him first. If you ever get a chance to talk to Tesha, you should apologize properly.
In any case, the work was completed sooner than originally predicted. So I was back to my daily life.
“Edaan-!”
And as soon as I returned home, Sepia was brought to me. It seemed that he ran as soon as he heard the news.
I picked up the sepia and held it in my arms. Again and again, like a child, Sepia patted her head in my arms.
“Is this mission okay? Aren’t you hurt?”
“yes! I am not hurt at all.”
“thank god… . I was very worried.”
As if to prove that, a shadow was cast over Sepia’s eyes. It must have been a lot of sleepless nights.
I picked up the sepia and threw it on the bed.
“oh! uh? No, why are you in bed?”
“Why… . you know.”
At those words, Sepia rolled her eyes here and there. Because now I’m going to spend my adult time.
Lately, Hesia has been away from home often, probably because she made friends.
In conclusion, there is no one who can disturb me and Sepia now.
“Wait a minute! … going to do?”
“of course.”
“Now, wait, wait!”
“Not a minute.”
I skillfully unbuckled Sepia with one hand. Lying on the bed and opening her eyes wide, Sepia pushed me away.
“What is it, Ethan! Did you just unbuckle it with one hand?”
“Everything is possible if you love it. no?”
“… no, it’s not… .”
I, as it were, roughed sepia in bed. Did you say that when you are in danger of dying, your s*xual desire is strong?
No, there was no way I could bear to see sepia before.
“transformation… . As soon as we met, I couldn’t control myself.”
“It’s all because of sepia.”
“Hmm, anyway, you’re good at talking… .”
It was a happy look even if he said sepia.
We faced each other and laughed. Before long, I skillfully kissed Sepia’s lips.

dormitory.
The night was getting longer and Tesha couldn’t fall asleep easily. No matter how you think about it, you seemed ashamed of this mission.
When everyone was focused on the mission, one eye was sold on personal feelings.
‘… just come to me I can do better… . Come to me, not sepia.’
He showed ugly behavior even in his own eyes. No matter how you think about it, it was. Tried to steal a friend’s man.
Ethan chose sepia.
That was an unchanging fact. And he himself tried to steal such Ethan. Even now, that feeling has not changed.
With that heart growing little by little every day, I didn’t even know what to do. Because this was the first time ever.
‘Why do I want you… .’
Would you like to be alone?
So far, Tesha has enjoyed a lot. I didn’t have many things I wanted because I had such a greedy personality, but it was an affluent life that I lacked nothing so far.
‘The reason I tried to monopolize you is… .’
Tesha pondered the reason.
It was not difficult to come up with the reason. Even if they gave various reasons and made excuses, the reason converged on one thing.
‘Because I’m a princess… . I thought I could have you alone.’
Both Sepia and Tia liked Edan.
Tesha knew very well how precious friends they were to Tesha. It was no exaggeration to say that she had no friends during her time as the princess.
Because everyone was busy bowing their heads to look good for themselves.
However, it was only after entering the academy that Tesha got some real friends.
Sepia, Tia and even Ariane.
Sepia and Tia squabbled, but they were good friends. There, they both admitted that they liked Ethan.
‘Leave them like that, I tried to take Ethan alone.’
Tesha sighed alone in the dark space.
In this mission as well, Ethan went out of his way for everyone. Even during the Arvia incident, he threw himself out to protect everyone.
Ethan was like that every time.
It was natural for Tesha to enjoy something with her status. And this time, she almost insisted that Ethan come to her under the pretext of her noble status as a princess.
‘It would be nice if I could understand Edan’s heart even a little… .’
The more I thought about what had happened this time, the more my shame grew.
Tesha sighed and pulled a coin from her bosom. It was a coin that I always took out when I had a lot of troubles or couldn’t make a decision easily.
“If it comes up heads, you go and apologize.”
And Tesha tossed a coin.
As usual, I tried to catch the tossed coin. However, Tesha lost the coin.
It was because I missed the timing because I had a lot of thoughts. The coin fell to the floor and rolled around before coming to a stop. The result was reverse.
‘ah… . It’s the back side.’
Tesha bit her lower lip once, then raised the coin again.
‘This time it’s invalid because I missed the coin by mistake.’
And Tesha tossed the coin again. But this time it was the other way around. Tesya stared at the coin blankly, bewildered.
Deep in my heart, I wanted to go to Ethan and apologize. Ironically, however, the coin did not follow Tesha’s will.
‘Also… , the important decision is three generations.’
So Tesha hypnotized herself. And tossed the coin again. Only then did the heads come out one after another.
Tesha blankly looked at the results for a moment.
‘This must be a revelation to go to Ethan and apologize.’
It was only natural to toss a coin four times and get heads twice. However, Tesha’s heart was set anyway, and the coin was just an excuse to fulfill that heart.
Tesha made a pledge while clutching the coin.
I have to go to Ethan tomorrow and apologize.

The next day, Master called.
Dania always came up to me with a playful expression. It was supposed to surprise me behind the scenes, but unfortunately I wasn’t surprised at all.
I’m sorry, but I had a super intuition for combat. Even that reached level 9, so the moment someone followed me from behind, my intuition warned me.
In the first place, he had reached the point where he could guess who it was just by hearing footsteps, but there was no way he could not have noticed Dania’s tailing.
Dania looked at me, who was not surprised at all, and said.
“What, that’s not funny. If your sister was joking around, pretend to be surprised.”
“Are you really surprised?”
“Anyway, there is no soul. the Ethan. It’s a call from Sylvia-sama.”
Master me?
I received the call and headed to Master’s office. Master was standing by the window with her hands behind her back.
“Oh yeah. Dan, are you here? I heard that the mission was completed well.”
“Thanks to you, I finished well and came back.”
Master smiled warmly once. Master’s smile was beautiful.
“Nia, go get some tea.”
“all right!”
After replying bravely, Nia quickly turned around. Eventually, only Master and I were left in the office.
“To make me, the teacher, call you first. You are a really ugly disciple.”
“sorry… . Master. I should have visited you first… .”
The last time I saw Master was about 10 days ago. It was a busy time with the start of a new semester at the academy.
“Dana… , I haven’t been in touch lately, and I’m a bit disappointed with your teacher.”
At that time, the last news I told him was that he had accepted Vivian as his disciple.
“sorry… . For making me sad… .”
“Huh, if you take the teacher’s heart and pretend you don’t know, you have no choice but to use the rod of love.”
“hahahaha, Master is also true. Please bear with that. If you get hit over the head so much, your disciple will become an idiot.”
At my words, Sylvia smiled widely.
Soon Dania pulled out. Master and I sat across the table. Come to think of it, I decided to stay in Lynchester even during the winter break, and headed to Logness Class for sepia work.
If I were a teacher, I think I would be very disappointed.
“Master, by the way, did you ask to see me for something?”
“Is there a reason why the master wants to see some of the disciples?”
Well, that’s right.
Master drank the tea elegantly. In the middle of the day, various stories came and went. How was life at the academy these days, how did you feel about your first mission?
“I heard there were casualties on the first mission. Warrior Lanter… . A person I know. He is a righteous and good man. Don’t blame yourself too much.”
“yes… . I’m just a little sad. I thought that if I had done better, there would have been no casualties… .”
Sylvia smiled bitterly.
“You’ve grown a lot, Dan. Once, when I saw you, anger settled in my heart… .”
“Are you angry?”
“not. Well, do you have any other worries?”
The question suddenly reminded me of Tesha. Maybe it’s because even though they’re actually the same age, Sylvia gives off a mature vibe.
“You have a problem. I can tell just by looking at your face. tell me.”
“So, that… .”
I debated whether or not to tell her, but finally confessed.
He’s gotten used to the battle now, but the human mind was still difficult.
“Master… . I recently found out about a friend who likes me.”
“Is that so? Dan-i is very popular with girls… .”
“sorry… .”
“So who is that friend?”
couldn’t even say that.
Because I had to protect Tesha’s privacy.
“I don’t think I can tell you that much.”
“… Is that so?”
“So I don’t know what to do. I will see you more often… . how to treat… .”
“Huh, that friend is Tesha.”
I blinked at those words. How did Master know that? I tried to manage my expression as much as possible.
But as expected, Master was quick-witted.
“Are you curious about how you knew? It all shows. Yonsuk-ah.”
“… How did you know?”
“Excluding Tia and Sepia, how many people will you have trouble with? After all, I am the professor in charge of your club.”
I couldn’t speak easily.
If you look at the people around you, you might be able to infer, but I never thought I’d get caught so quickly. And Sylvia would know that Tesha was the princess.
“Are you hesitating because of me?”
When I didn’t say anything, the master smiled benevolently. It was the kind of smile that reassured people.
“If it’s okay with that child, accept that heart.”
“Are you okay though… ?”
“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous at all. But I am a big-hearted teacher. Rather, I am glad to hear that my student is popular.”
Sylvia looked really happy. I bowed my head and expressed my gratitude.
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“done. It is the fate of a proud man to be popular. i have to understand Anyway, come here, sweetheart. Let’s hug each other for the first time in a while.”
I was embraced by Master’s warm arms. Sylvia gently stroked my hair. that wasn’t bad
“Go now. Danah. You must be busy. Anyway, it was fun to see my disciple after a long time. Please, stop by often.”
I shook my head and tried to back away. I heard Master’s words behind me as I grabbed the doorknob.
“Oh, and Dana, don’t forget that.”
“Don’t forget?”
“A promise to take me if you surpass me.”
“Master… ! I decided not to use the word that I would take… .”
Why am I ashamed every time I hear it?
Turning around, Sylvia was shrugging her shoulders. It seems like it’s good to have a smile on your lips making fun of me.
“Put, it must be a long way for a poor disciple to take me.”
“Teacher, sooner or later, I will tell you who the poor disciple really is.”
Sylvia burst into laughter.
“Yes, I hope so.”
“Be prepared.”
“Don’t make this master wait too long. Go now.”
I bowed my head once.
Suddenly, I wondered where I was standing. I caught the 3rd place mine and the 4th place mine.
But that wasn’t the only achievement I made. So, you might be wondering how much skill I have built up now.
“Hey, Master… .”
“Why? Danah. Do you have anything more to say?”
I carefully looked into Sylvia’s blue eyes. Brilliantly swaying silver hair, straight, unwavering eyes.
“Master, please compete with me.”
“… Are you serious? I don’t see you as a disciple.”
“please. I want to see where I am.”
Master smiled admirably.
Silvia slowly approached me and put her hand on my shoulder.
“Dana, it’s fun… . But for you to catch up with me… .”
If it was a provocation, it certainly worked. Because I wanted to try my best to stick with Sylvia.
“Master, I am not kidding.”
Sylvia immediately smiled at my serious tone. Sylvia seemed to realize that I was serious.
“Whoa… , guy. good night. How dare you challenge your master… . I will accept the challenge. follow me Dana.”
