“Isn’t this newspaper a bit thick?”
“Didn’t the three major newspapers in the capital recently run a special feature on Rania? “I had a hard time condensing it to make it readable.”
“That’s right…?”
I like it very much.
Rania sat down on the rock and crossed her legs while muttering that. Her hair blew wildly in the wind, but that lasted only for a moment. Just like that, she snapped her fingers and the wind that had been blowing calmed down in an instant.
“Then let’s read it.”
With a sharp movement, she opened the newspaper. What she was holding in her hand was a really insignificant newspaper containing only ‘writings praising the hero, Rania’…
“Hmm.”
As I watch Rania lick her lips and read the newspaper with an extremely serious expression, it feels like what she holds in her hands is not a piece of newspaper but a document dealing with an ‘important issue’.
Rolling her eyes at a rapid pace, Rania sometimes smiled faintly and sometimes exclaimed briefly, asking, ‘Who is the reporter who wrote this newspaper? ‘I’ll have to buy a meal later.’ she muttered.
“Yes, I will look into it.”
“okay. Please find out. This person writes sentences really beautifully. Especially this part. This modifier is very…”
“Do you like it?”
“I like it very much.”
The knight, Tefran, smiled bitterly and nodded.
Quite a bit of time has passed since he performed this ridiculous mission. When he was selected as the right person for this mission simply because he was interested in the news of the world, he wondered something about it, but as time passed, Tefran found this mission rewarding.
In the end, it was something that was helpful to the warrior.
Tefran laughed inadvertently as he saw Rania smacking his forehead while looking at the newspaper. Rania Van Trias is treated in the world as a noble, noble, and perfect hero, but her true nature is like this.
“Hey, Tefran. Look at this part. ‘Unprecedented and unprecedented…’ Aren’t the sentences really tight? “This is kind of my preference.”
“From next time, we will actively reflect this and collect newspapers.”
“yes. That’s right. “I can communicate well with you.”
He is full of humanity, easy-going and has no sense of distance.
He is a lighter person than I thought.
He may seem snobbish due to his strange greed in small details, but in fact, he is a person who would be more suited to the word simple rather than snobbish. In any case, this means that he is quite distant from the ‘noble, mysterious, and flawless hero’ portrayed in the public eye.
‘···Of course, the achievements are real.’
Is it because I see this often?
While collecting articles about her, Tefran sometimes felt a sense of disconnect. He realizes that this playful person he is facing is none other than Grania Van Trias Rani.
‘Humanity’s only hope, an unprecedented hero.’
There was no exaggeration in the articles collected by Tepran.
Rania van Trias has truly achieved a feat that deserves to be called that. This one warrior expanded the front lines, which had not changed much for hundreds of years, to his far-flung reaches. He was heading to the depths of the demon world that no one could reach.
A land lost to mankind.
A history that humanity has lost.
Every time she took a step forward, humanity’s territory expanded and traces of lost history were recovered. The path she walked was the history of mankind.
“I’m satisfied with this one too. Thank you, Tefran.”
The living historical figure passed the newspaper to Tefran with a faint smile. As if she was not very satisfied with her newspaper, Rania stretched her legs and let out a long breath.
“Phew, oh that’s right. Tefran, what did you ask for last time?”
“Are you talking about the article that collected the news of the disciples?”
“Yes, that.”
She stood up, stretching.
Tefran took out another newspaper from his robe.
“I have prepared that too. Would you like to give it to me now?”
“huh. “I have to go and read it.”
Rania turned the first page of the newspaper she was handed.
On the first page, the sentence ‘Lark Van Grace, Guardian of the North’ was written in large letters. Not her paper about Rania, but her paper about her students whom she raised. Rania, who was reading her newspaper, burst into laughter.
“Tefran?”
“Yes, warrior.”
“You chose a good newspaper.”
Rania tapped the first page of the newspaper.
『Guardian of the North, Lac Van Grace.』
The following sentence was written in the article immediately below Lark’s name written in large letters.
『Great hero, Rania Van Trias’s greatest disciple.』
Rania smiled as she typed that sentence.
“I like it very much.”
Tefran nodded with a proud expression. No matter what anyone says, Tefran has been collecting newspapers for Rania for quite some time. Although he likes phrases that openly praise him, this shadowy warrior’s favorite phrase was ‘a secret and indirect compliment.’
“I’m glad you liked it.”
2.
『The Shadow Knight and the Saint-Ryu Hero make another contribution on the Western Front. Unrivaled growth despite being an apprentice warrior.』
『The ancient dragon wizard gave the last name of ‘Dragonic’ to the shadow knight, Belnoa. Recognizing that the Shadow Knight is qualified.』
『The hero of Seongryu, destroyed the necromancer’s undead unit with ‘just one’ spell on the Western Front.』
Rania nodded with satisfaction, glancing at the news of her students that she had been checking regularly for the past three years. It was quite enjoyable to hear about the activities of the students I had personally raised.
‘This is how the Master felt.’
Now I think I understand why Master collected newspapers. Rania’s eyes, which were checking the activities of her students one by one, stopped for a moment. After a moment of silence, Rania burst into laughter.
“Did you pass the graduation exam?”
『Shadow Knight, Belnoa Van Dragonic.』
『The hero of the castle, Chloe.』
『On the Eastern Front, with the support of the warrior Destel, the ancient lich ‘Skebal’ was successfully subdued.』
The graduation task I mentioned earlier.
Rania said that if you follow the curriculum she has planned, you will be able to easily become an ‘Ancient Lich’ by the time you graduate. Now that it had become a reality, Rania was honestly surprised.

‘What Kalt said wasn’t nonsense.’
“You will be surprised when you see it for yourself.”
“That’s the way I see it.”
“It’s beyond your imagination, really.”
Once the royal capital was stabilized, Kalt had recently settled down with the Guardian and headed to the battlefield. Kalt, who often went on operations with Belnoa and Chloe, would send letters like that. You will be surprised when you meet them.
Indeed, it was as he said.
Rania is not the only one who has experienced a lot in the past three years. Rania stuck out her tongue as she glanced at the trials that Belle Noah and Chloe had overcome. As expected, instead of walking on a smooth path, she chose the most difficult path to walk.
‘···It’s faster than I thought.’
Rania flipped through the newspapers one by one, looking at the children’s rapid growth and thinking that they would soon come to this point.
‘We met Restya recently, so let’s pass it on.’
fluttering.
‘The princess must be going through the succession process…’
What I finally arrived at was news about the student I had been most concerned about recently. Lark Van Grace, the boy who inherited Ganicalt’s sword.
“······.”
News about Lark was not limited to newspapers.
Enclosed was a confidential document containing information controlled within the Order. Also a letter from the knight commander. The moment Rania checked the letter, her eyes narrowed. Rania, who had been walking, stopped in her place.
A photo arrived with the letter.
Rania looked at the photo for a while. Immediately after, Rania’s expression hardened.
* * *
“Let’s get to the point.”
Belnoir tapped down his drink and put it down.
Belnoa used mana to shake off his intoxication and took out a letter from his arms. It was a letter with the knight commander’s seal engraved on it.
“I’ll tell you in advance, Lark.”
Realizing that the atmosphere had changed, Lark adjusted his posture and sat down. The drunkenness had long since worn off.
“Ten days ago, you defeated the demon king’s army coming from the Vettel Snowfield. And that too alone. We dealt with it cleanly without leaving a single demon behind. In the world, it was known as ‘that way’. Right?”
Lark narrowed his eyes.
It is known that way in the world. What he meant was that Belnoa had information that was not known to the world. Lark implicitly asked a question.
“Did you know everything?”
“After all, you are a warrior’s companion. On the surface, there are many reasons why we came here, but the real reason is that we came to investigate the strange phenomenon you experienced here.”
Belnoir let out a long breath.
“It’s true that the Demon King’s army flocked in, and it’s true that you defeated them. But that’s not the end? “You tracked down the remnants…”
“I followed the fleeing guys into Titna Snow Mountain. “At this point, I was planning to completely uproot it.”
Lark continued Belnoa’s conversation.
“But there was no garrison there.”
Lark looked at the glass on the table.
He muttered while looking at his empty glass.
“To be exact, there was. However, only traces of it being torn apart by something remained. “Did you receive that photo as well?”
“···I received it.”
Belnoa opened the letter he had placed on the table.
Suddenly, a photo fell out of the letter.
The photo showed a scene of a mangled forest. Trees uprooted and scattered everywhere. The demon lord was slaughtered by something. Blood stains everywhere and corpses hanging haphazardly on top of huge trees. It was a landscape as if a huge beast had clawed its way past.
Lark said, pointing to the photo.
“Even old warriors who had lived in the North for decades declared that there was no beast capable of such a thing. Scholars also asserted that there is no demonic beast in the north that can leave traces like this.”
“The Knights made the same decision. There is no such thing as a magical beast that would leave such strange traces. This alone is a big problem…”
That alone is problematic enough.
Because it may be the appearance of a special magical beast. However, there was another reason why the Knights urgently sent Belnoa and Chloe.
“What you said to the knights who came to check the scene, and the letter you sent to the knight commander.”
Belnoa said in a low voice.
“In your opinion, this isn’t something the devil did?”
“okay.”
Lark nodded.
“The marks left at the scene were not simply scratch marks. that···.”
He, a warrior and a prosecutor at the same time, spoke.
“It was a sword scar.”
No one thinks it’s a sword mark.
However, Lark knew the sword marks. I had no choice but to know. The traces, as if they had been fiercely scratched with fingernails, were crude, but they shared the same fundamentals as Lark’s technique.
Ganichalt van Galatric.
The prongs of a sword created by a great swordsman in the distant past. I was confident because it was Lark who had learned swordsmanship derived from that branch. Ganikalt’s sword was incorporated into the traces seen on the snowy mountain.
but···.
“But something was strange.”
“What if it’s strange?”
“Clearly the fundamentals are the same. However, it did not look like a sword wielded by a human. It was crude, messy… and fierce. “It’s as if you’re swinging according to instinct.”
“···What are you talking about?”
Lark said, stroking his chin.
“It felt like a demonic beast, not a human, was swinging the sword imitating a human sword.”
