Just one fairy palace.

‘It was said that centralization is better than the Empire.’

I’ve never been there myself, but I’ve heard stories from Yeomno who have been there.

To the people of Glacier Baengnyeong, the royalty of the fairy palace are almost like gods.

Compared to the general people, who had a lot of Salman blood, who were the natives of the past, the royal family was a complete half-fairy, maintaining a 50% ratio.

Ever since the first generation of fairies and half-fairies of Salman tribes appeared, there were those who put effort into maintaining bloodlines.

They gathered enough half-fairies of the same generation to create a closed royal palace.

That’s the Fairy Palace.

Within the Fairy Palace, they maintained their blood through marriage with those of lower kinship as much as possible, and they are now the royal family of the Glacier Baengnyeong.

While the common people’s blood was diluted to such an extent that it was hard to find even a handful of them by the Salmans, the royal family had inherited half of the fairies’ blood over hundreds of years through knife-like management and surveillance.

Based on that blood, the royal family of the fairy palace gains legitimacy to rule.

However, there are royals who come out of the palace from time to time.

It could be a political reason, or it could be a romantic reason that comes out of a storybook.

For such various reasons, there were cases where the royal family who came out joined forces with the half-elves outside the palace to establish a family, although it was not common.

Such people are the main nobles of Glacier Baengnyeong.

Yuga is also one of those families.

It was a family with royal blood.

“You know, it’s an honor. It is rare for me to teach you a single lesson.”

“… … .”

spacious vacant lot. While the students were sitting around and watching, Eugene spoke.

A native of Confucianism, one of the influential families of Glacier Baengnyeong.

At the age of 21, young enough to be considered young, he has enough skills and talent to join the Guardian Castle, one of the best military groups in the Fairy Palace.

From a young age to the elegant appearance that attracted many women.

All of those were elements that filled Eugene’s confidence.

In fact, even now, many female students’ eyes were fixed on Eugene. Most of them were friendly gazes.

‘As expected, someone from Somer doesn’t have a different aesthetic sense.’

But why is Erje so indifferent?

Even if she is in a relationship with Xi’an, isn’t it human to pay attention to beautiful things even once?

With just that one glance, he was confident enough to steal her heart.

But not even once.

that was the dissatisfaction.

‘hmm.’

He looked where Erze was sitting.

She was looking this way with her chin resting in front of the boiling pot.

“I don’t want the tea to cool down, so let’s finish it briefly before the water boils.”

“I see.”

Seeing the nodding Xian, Yujin smiled.

student level anyway. If you take care of it a little, that stiff head will bow a little.

‘No. 1.’

I could see the No. 1 ring on Xi’an’s hand. It probably means that it is the best among first graders.

It was probably because of me that Erze fell for him.

However, the best is also a story in the well called school.

‘If I tell her the level outside the well, she will realize it too.’

He raised his hand with such a ploy.

“Let’s get started!”

Mana gathered in that hand and cold air began to flow.

Among the families of the Glacier Baengnyeong, especially the Confucian family, who are experts in ice magic.

Ice magic is the best on the continent.

It was Eugene’s family that even entered the Tower of Frost Magic in Somer.

And Eugene was so talented that he learned the family’s vision intact and joined the Guardian Knight at this age.

[ Ice Spear ]

He stretched out his hands in front of him.

A sharp-forged spear shot from that hand. Sap-! A gong sounded and the transparent ice spears rushed in an instant.

It was a simple magic that was used as a check, but it was never used sparingly.

A super-speedy magic that makes quite a few opponents retire with a single blow.

the moment I thought

“… … !”

Eugene was very surprised and jumped up.

An opponent who should have taken a loss or pulled out while panicked by the ice spear.

Didn’t that opponent arrive right in front of you at some point?

The ice spear only tore open the empty space.

[ Heavenly Sword – True ]

Approach ‘Island’ and switch to ‘Charm’ without throwing a stab.

Watching the sword fly quietly but accurately, Eugene fluttered the cloak on his shoulder.

The cloak froze and blocked Xian’s sword.

however.

Kwaji support!

Sian’s sword struck Eugene, mercilessly breaking the ice shield made through the cloak.

Yujin’s eyes widened as she saw Xian’s sword approaching, and the next moment, all light went dark.

“Huh!”

When I came to my senses, Eugene was standing up in the grass.

He broke out in a cold sweat and looked around.

The students, Instructor Tail, and the senior knights of the Guardian Castle were staring this way.

The Dalian opponent in front of you, Sian Agrid.

“I wanted to finish it quickly, but.”

The other person quietly opened his mouth.

“The water hasn’t even boiled yet.”

Upon hearing his words, Yujin’s face brightened.

Now I understand the situation.

opponent’s number. With just that one move, he fainted.

Fortunately, it seems that he only lost consciousness for a very short time, but the fact that he passed out was a huge shame.

‘how!?’

It’s nonsense.

He himself, since childhood, was more talented than any other child of his age.

Even if he searched not only his family, but also the entire Glacier Baengnyeong, there was no peer better than himself.

Even becoming a Guardian Knight at the age of 21 was the youngest record since the founding of the Guardian Castle.

That he was stretched out in one room?

To a 4-year-old young student?

―Mr. Eugene… … A little more than I thought… … .

―It doesn’t seem that strong… … .

―It’s so… … As a wizard, what can I do… … .

There were whispers all around.

His flushed face didn’t seem to cool down.

After saying such a great thing, the result is like this.

I have to regain face somehow!

It was because of that that he held on to Xian, who sighed and tried to turn around, saying that it was fresher than he thought.

“for a moment! Ha, one more time!”

“more?”

“one more time… … please. I was caught off guard now!”

“… … You see.”

Xian took out the sword he had put in.

Xian knew that doing it one more time wouldn’t change the outcome, but he didn’t ignore the challenge either.

Even in sparring with sewage, there are lessons to be learned.

Whether or not he knew Xian’s thoughts, Eugene took a pose with a very nervous face.

This time, he raised all the mana from the beginning.

I thought I would never be as careless as before.

“I will go.”

This time, with Xi’an’s signal, the couplets began.

Kang!

Certainly, he was right when he said that he was careless earlier. Now Eugene is able to respond to Xi’an’s ‘island’ without embarrassment.

But that was it.

visor! Chae Chae Chae Chae!

Several times came and went, and Xian’s sword shattered all the layers of ice he had created.

The sword dug into it was placed right under Eugene’s neck.

It was so close that cold sweat formed on the tip of the sword.

‘Nonsense!’

Eugene tightly closed his eyes.

What he felt from the sum of the few times he had just come and went was a wall.

There was a tall wall in front of him that seemed insurmountable. Her own magic couldn’t even scratch that wall.

he cried with a red face.

“Okay, once again… … !”

“stop!”

A senior knight blocked Eugene from requesting a rematch once again.

He hesitated at the senior’s words.

In the meantime, the senior turned around and looked at Xian.

“Which family are you from?”

“This is Agrid.”

“I see, that sword king… … .”

The senior’s eyes narrowed. His eyes were all over Xian.

from head to toe.

Son of Sword King Berped. Whether it was worthy of its name, just by standing there, I felt the momentum like a knife.

At this young age… … .

“I saw the skill of the son of the sword king. I’m just worried that this child’s skills will be misunderstood as our guardian’s skills.”

This sparring is Eugene’s personal affair, not an event for Suhoseong. It was a line drawing.

Xian is not young enough to think that way.

So it’s easy to say that there’s nothing to worry about.

“If that’s the case, please prove it with your sword.”

Xian did not insert the sword.

It’s a good opportunity. Don’t you think you can mix swords with the senior knight like this?

At first glance, this senior knight was much stronger than Eugene.

“… … .”

The senior engineer looked at the Xian with narrow eyes.

A greedy figure thirsting for strength, like a hungry beast.

That figure overlapped with the figure of Sword King Verfed that he had already seen 10 years ago.

After all, that father and that son.

“Don’t give up. It looks like the water is all boiled.”

The senior engineer shook his head and pointed to one place.

There, Ergé was brewing tea with boiling water.

Xian swallowed regret and inserted the sword.

“great job.”

“I’ll have a good drink.”

I received a wooden cup from which steam rose from Ergé and took a sip.

Feeling her body relaxed by the warm scent, he told her one by one what could be improved.

Erje listens well to that.

“Eugene. When I return, I will double the training intensity. Will there be any complaints?”

“… … yes.”

Seeing the two of them, Eugene bit his lip with a deep sense of defeat.

* * *

The journey to Everwhale was peaceful.

After that, Eugene never approached her again. Continuing to look pensive.

Half of them were convinced that Xian was the son of the Sword King, but the other half were not yet convinced.

His family Yuga is also as famous as the name of the Sword King. A family called the No. 1 on the continent when it comes to ice magic.

As a person from such a family, he himself was defeated without being able to use his hands.

Even for students as young as four years old.

If they were much older, a difference of four years would not be a big deal.

But both are still in their prime of growth. The difference of 4 years was by no means small.

What made me even more angry was Ergé’s reaction.

Even though he, who had been approaching for a while, suddenly stopped, she seemed unconcerned.

Before or after approaching. Looks like nothing has changed.

The fact that he seemed to have no influence on her life further scratched his pride.

But right away, without even giving up.

“Arrived!”

They arrived at Everweil.

The senior engineer saw Eugene riding a horse beside him.

“Eugene. I must have said that your younger siblings are here.”

“yes.”

He has a younger brother, Yeon-yeon, and a half-brother, Yu-seol.

“If you want, go and show your face at least. Please wait for that long.”

“it’s okay.”

Eugene flatly refused, as if he had nothing to think about.

The senior knight slightly tilted his head at that knife-like attitude, but he couldn’t force himself to send it, even though he didn’t like it.

He spoke to Instructor Tail right in front of the city gates.

“Then we’ll go away.”

“Are you leaving right away?”

“yes. It is an order to return immediately.”

After a brief handshake, the Guardian Knights turned their heads and left.

As he left, Eugene looked back at him once, but no one noticed his gaze.

“Phew! It was really long.”

“I feel completely at home now.”

After the inspection, the wagon carrying the students entered the gate with great force.

It was a journey of less than two weeks, but it really felt like coming home after a long time.

Immediately after that, the students were greatly surprised by the appearance of the city.

“Welcome!”

“There are crafts of the Southern Wiri people!”

“There are also trade goods that came across the sea!”

Unseen stalls were lined up along the streets of the city. Likewise, merchants who had not been able to see them were doing a lot of solicitation.

The instructor also spoke with her eyes wide open.

“I was surprised by this. A caravan was here.”

“A caravan?”

“What is it?”

“They are large peddlers who cross the continent and sell their goods.”

Seeing the students start to get excited, Instructor Tail responded with a grin.

“You can think of it as something like an occasional festival.”

That was really good news.
