“You look very happy.”

after all training.

When Theo left the Maehwa Palace’s gymnasium with slightly weary steps, Lang Frances was waiting outside.

Natasha was nowhere to be seen.

“Oh, does it look like that? To be honest, I’m very tired because I’ve been training continuously, but… … .”

“For someone who says he is tired, the smile never leaves his lips. Whoops.”

Theo scratched his cheek with a frown on his face.

Actually, because Lang was right.

Even though my stamina was exhausted, I felt much more refreshed than at any other time.

Because I was able to get hints about various visions, thoughts, and realizations that I had not understood and kept in my head.

It seemed that if I properly reviewed what I had learned today, I would be able to see a new path.

“Thank you, Theo.”

Lang looked at Theo with satisfaction, then suddenly lowered his head politely.

Why are you doing this? Theo was startled, but Rang continued.

“I don’t know if you know, but there are many times when the princess is always smiling since she first met Theo at the central office and taught plum blossoms.”

Theo’s eyes widened slightly.

“So, please continue to do well in the future.”

“Ah, yes, I am… … .”

Theo lowered his head and scratched the back of his head.

‘Anyway, you seem to think that I became the princess’ disciple, but what do you say?’

It was a time when it was difficult to speak out hastily because Rang’s loyalty to the Maehwa Palace lord seemed so outstanding.

“Theo Ragnar, a new member of the Baekgap Dragon Corps. Am I right?”

jerebuck-

Suddenly, a group of fifteen people appeared in front of Theo.

In an instant, Theo’s eyes sharpened.

There were also familiar faces in the crowd.

Felix.

“By the way?”

However, Felix was only mixed in with the crowd, with a lot of growth, and the actual leader was separate.

Theo knew who she was.

A woman with long hair down to her feet and cold eyes.

Hazel Coffle.

A direct descendant of the Cople family, one of the six theories, a real-life swordsman who entered the palace after the sword of the Maehwa Palace.

‘In the original history, the person who overtook Felix and became the true ‘first’ disciple of the Maehwa Palace.’

He has excellent skills and talent, and after a while, he becomes the right-hand man of a top 5 candidate.

It was easy to see why such a person appeared.

‘It must be because he thought he took his place. like Felix. Are you trying to get into a fight?’

The head butler watched the situation while sneaking back, as if the composition was exciting. It seemed that he had no intention of drying it.

“It is short. They show no courtesy towards their superiors.”

Hazel looked up and down, frowning, as if she didn’t like Theo’s stiff answer.

food-

Theo let out a sneer as if it were absurd.

“What about seniors?”

“what?”

“You’re not even your direct supervisor, so why bother?”

Hazel’s face hardened instantly,

“Because this cheeky bastard keeps asking to see you!”

Chachachang!

The swordsmen next to Hazel pulled out their swords in unison.

On the other hand, the face of Felix, who had already suffered from Theo, became contemplative.

Theo’s eyes were bleak.

“You must know what it means to draw a sword, right?”

“What nonsense… … !”

That was when the first person who shouted was about to say something.

Wedge love!

Drake’s blade, which had been pulled out before I knew it, was drawing a beam of light.

Spark-

Chow!

“Ah! my arms! My faaa!”

“Henry!”

“This crazy bastard really cuts… … !”

The one who shouted screamed while holding on to his severed left arm, and those who did not know that Theo would throw a knife without hesitation tried to attack Theo with a serious face.

But,

oh oh oh-

[‘Skill: Lesser Drake Fear’ dominates the battlefield.]

For an instant, the murderous spirit that swept from Theo tied them up.

“Can you stop? If you don’t want to lose.”

“… … !”

“… … !”

“… … !”

“I thought about the face of the Maehwa Palace, so I just let it go even though you guys continued to behave arrogantly. If you still want to fight, fight. But then it won’t end with the arm.”

The guys’ complexions hardened.

Hazel frowned as she placed her hand on the hilt.

“You seem to be acting as if you have already become the heir to Maehwa Palace. You’d better not think that just because you became the princess’s pupils, we’d easily follow your advice.”

“Is that why you came to persecute a swordsman as a group because it was difficult to deal with?”

“… … I can’t speak nice.”

“therefore? Are you going to fight?”

A long snowball fight ensued between Theo and Hazel.

Live a tense life.

Then Hazel put the sword back into the scabbard.

Clap!

“Hey, Hazel-sama?”

“Why all of a sudden… … ?”

All the prosecutors who were preparing to jump out immediately upon Hazel’s order looked at her with bewildered faces.

Hazel had a thin smile on her lips, ignoring the bloody atmosphere from earlier.

“You have more guts than I heard from Natasha. It’s definitely worth the attention of the princess.”

Sudden warm atmosphere.

Then, the embarrassment of the maehwa palace prosecutors increased.

I didn’t know what to do, so I felt confused.

‘no wonder. I thought it looked sharper than I knew.’

Hazel was a person who won the hearts of many prosecutors in the distant future as much as the Maehwa Palace.

Naturally, she thought that such a provocation was uncharacteristic of her, so she agreed moderately, but it seemed that her prediction was correct.

However, Theo was not completely vigilant.

I didn’t know where another guy like Felix would come out.

“I’m sorry for bothering you. I’ll get these idiots’ messed up rules later. But.”

“But?”

“It’s not a lie to say that I haven’t yet recognized you as a disciple of the princess. I, and the swordsmen of the Maehwa Palace, do not know a man named Theo Ragnar. They all have different temperaments and personalities, so you can’t take them all at once.”

In an instant, Hazel’s eyes shone fiercely.

“There’s a high chance that your name will be on the promotion test list as the youngest person this time, right? Even if it doesn’t, it will come soon. Then let me act as the test tube. cut me there If that’s the case, we will all acknowledge you as the heir to the palace without further comment.”

promotion test?

Theo was puzzled by the schedule he first heard about, but first of all, he felt the need to correct Hazel’s misunderstanding.

“Do whatever you feel like. However, there is one thing I need to point out.”

“what?”

“I have no intention of becoming the heir to Maehwa Palace. It can’t be.”

“… … ?”

Hazel frowned for a moment, unable to understand Theo’s words, and then screamed with a shocked face.

“You, please… … !”

Fisik!

Theo said with a light laugh.

“I don’t know why you guys think I would have accepted the offer from the princess, but I’m on my way out after saying I’d decline the position.”

“… … !”

“… … !”

“… … !”

Maehwa Palace prosecutors, including Hazel, screamed.

Even Rang next to him.

“How was your meeting with Theo?”

Natasha looked around the area, looking for the gymnasium where only the Maehwa Palace was left.

The traces of training left here and there were quite rough.

‘As expected, the 24 number plum sword… … . Have you already taught the first half of the 8th class? It’s too fast.’

Considering that it took her over a month to learn the shape of the first half, it was a tremendous growth rate.

just as expected.

A smile hung on the lips of the Princess Maehwa, who was touching the plum tree.

“It was fun. It was fun.”

“Finally, the successor who will carry on the business of the ‘Lord of the Celestial Dragon’ has appeared. I will reduce it.”

Natasha bowed her head.

Celestial Dragon Sword Master.

It was another hidden identity of the Maehwa Palace.

Originally, she was not from Ragnar.

He was the successor of a secret school that had been handed down from ancient times through one-person transmission.

However, since the Maehwa Palace had no disciples or children for a long time, she could not prepare a worthy successor to carry on this business.

So, naturally, Natasha had no choice but to connect Theo’s appearance with the successor.

But,

“Originally, I thought so too, but… … whooping! I guess I’ll have to find someone else for that position.”

Natasha’s eyes widened at the words of Princess Maehwa.

“What do you mean? If you do, Theo Ragnar… … !”

“I declined the offer again. Come to think of it, is it already the third time? It must be a goyan child. Whoops!”

However, the Maehwa Palace seemed very happy for someone who had been rejected.

Natasha was just devastated.

“Why on earth this time… … ! I can’t. I will go and find out.”

“No, there is no need for that.”

“But!”

“It’s just that you didn’t become a disciple, didn’t your relationship with me end? No, should I say it has become thicker?”

“… … ?”

Natasha blinked her eyes as she still couldn’t understand the meaning of the plum princess’s words.

Whoop whoop!

However, the laughter of the Maehwa Palace only grew louder.

– I am always grateful for the heart of the princess who is considerate of me every time. But it seems difficult to become a disciple. I already have someone in my heart who serves as my teacher.

-this… … .

-but.

The look in Theo’s eyes at the time was still clear around his eyes.

-Can I take the princess as another mother?

another mother

The Maehwa Palace still couldn’t stop laughing.

It is only natural that I like the mother-child relationship much more than the rigid teacher-teacher relationship.

I couldn’t see the joy of receiving the child I gave birth to directly with my own hands because heaven didn’t allow it.

I couldn’t be this happy that I was able to welcome the child I gave birth to with my heart.

-I have a child.

Such a fact filled the heart of the Maehwa Palace, which had been empty for a while.

‘By the way, who is that great man whom you have enshrined as your teacher in your heart?’

Maehwa Palace looked back at Natasha, thinking that she would have to find out later.

“Natasha, can you send a letter to the head of the family instead of me?”

“Yes. Please speak.”

Natasha noticed that an inner relationship had developed between the two of them that was more intimate than that of the priests.

“I’m going to recommend Theo’s promotion test.”

“… … !”

Natasha shook her head in surprise.

“At this point, let’s give Theo wings so he can run freely.”

＜’Theo Ragnar”s Promotion Test Recommendation – Julius Ragnar

＜’Theo Ragnar”s Promotion Personnel Recommendation – Plum Palace Lord Osa Ragnar Prunus＞

Kyle smiled at the two reports that had just come up.

“A promotion recommendation for two of the nine dragons? It’s been less than a month since the flowering ceremony ended, but everyone seems to be overdoing it. Even if you try to force a young cub to fly, it will only easily catch the hunter’s eye, and it will be easy to take advantage of.”

Ragnar’s swordsmanship was largely divided into six grades.

An ‘introductory swordsman’ who just started holding a sword.

The ‘Training Swordsman’ who opened the Aura Hall during the Flowering Ceremony.

A ‘practical swordsman’ who is assigned to a unit and is recognized for being able to serve as a swordsman as a result of making appropriate contributions or accumulating years of service.

A ‘advanced swordsman’ who has excellent skills and is called Ragnar’s ‘claws’ and ‘teeth’.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Leading a group, the ‘Dragon Gate Swordsman’ can be said to be Ragnar’s ‘hands’ and ‘feet’.

And,

The ‘Laurye Swordsman’, which can be said to be the ‘face’ that represents Ragnar.

Theo was a trainee swordsman, the second rank.

It is a beginner level that has just been put into a mission and the shooter has to teach this and that from the side.

In terms of dragons, it was ‘scales’.

The scales on the tail are useless right now.

However, it was said that these scales were not on the tail, but on the side of the shell.

in the report,

Julius was referring to Theo’s courage, judgment, and exploits during his first mission.

The Maehwa Palace Lady was talking about Theo’s excellent skills.

What if these two letters of recommendation were approved?

Theo gains an unprecedented rate of promotion.

It will become a bigger issue now that the fever of the flowering ceremony is over.

From then on, of course, the five candidates will have no choice but to keep a keen eye on them.

Horror… … !

At that time, the lark that was riding on Kyle’s shoulder chirped lightly.

“Do you recommend it too?”

Kyle looked at the lark as if it were unexpected.

The lark nodded and cried out.

“but. That’s a good idea too. good. let me do that.”

Kyle put a large stamp of approval on both documents.

bang!

-Approval.

“yes. You said you would challenge the seat of power, so do it on your own. Whether it flew safely or was broken there, it’s up to you to prove it yourself.”

White fangs were clearly visible from the corners of Kyle’s parted mouth.
