Squeak-!
The door to the Plov family mansion opened.
Gerdinger’s people entered there.
Gasols from the Plov family who came to meet him swallowed dry saliva.
I felt an overwhelming sense of coercion, befitting a heroic family discussing the hegemony of the continent.
flutter- flutter-
The family flag embroidered with blazing flames waved.
A carriage led by a griffon at the head stopped.
The door opened and Jis and Celia got out.
‘Uncle, why are you indebted to this place?’
In fact, when Celia heard that she would be staying with a noble family, she was not happy.
Celia had no intention of being satisfied with simply enrolling in Lumern.
The goal is to be senior.
Therefore, I wanted to focus only on the exam until the entrance exam.
But when you come to a noble family like this, there are a lot of troublesome things.
Especially noble families from small kingdoms.
It was clear that he was trying desperately to somehow make a connection with Gerdinger.
So I wanted to rent an entire luxury hotel.
I didn’t complain out loud as it was something ZIS had decided on, but I didn’t like it.
Challang-
Celia straightened her back, tucking her waist-length black hair behind her ear.
Whether she is dissatisfied or not, she is the daughter of the family head.
External image was important.
As the head of the family, it was necessary to be polite to the owner of the family.
Celia, who was thinking that, was momentarily taken aback.
“uh?”
It’s not just her.
The other Jerdingers were also upset.
Two men and a woman standing at the entrance of the mansion.
Dade and Rayna.
I was surprised to see Raina accurately.
‘I look like my father and uncle.’
And his appearance was similar to mine.
“Greetings, Celia. “This is the Marquis of Plov.”
“My name is Celia Gerdinger. “She was in my care for a week.”
“welcome. Think of it as your home and stay comfortably.”
Dade greeted calmly.
There is no sign of trying to show off as a famous hero.
“And this is the Marchioness Plov.”
“Hehe, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Reina smiled softly and greeted me.
Celia looked at Rayna with confused eyes.
“Uncle, who is this person?”
“Reina Plov. “She is your aunt.”
Celia’s eyes widened.
***
The Gerdinger people unpacked their belongings at the mansion.
Meanwhile, Jis was talking to Mr. and Mrs. Plov in the drawing room.
“I’m glad to see you are doing well and in good health.”
“There’s no reason I can’t stay.”
Click-
Raina elegantly holds up her teacup.
“You’ve become very sneaky, sister.”
“Hehehe. Have you grown up a lot? “Jiss.”
Jis shook her head as she looked at her sister with veins rising on her forehead.
‘Your personality is still the same.’
The sister who was once called the ‘Flame Witch’.
There was no particular reason why she was given the title ‘witch’, which was difficult to give to a knight.
It’s purely due to personality.
Jis said, laughing as he recalled old times.
“Leo was very bold.”
“What has your son done?”
Jis laughed at Dade’s question.
“Before coming to the Plov family, I visited Delran Royal School for a field trip. “All the students gathered together, but Leo said he was not interested in Gerdinger and left first.”
“If I offended you, I apologize on behalf of my son.”
“Jiss isn’t the type of moth to get offended like that, Dade.”
“yes. “It was quite a refreshing experience.”

As Gerdinger always attracts attention, a reaction like Leo’s was refreshing.
“So what kind of kid is Leo?”
“I’m not just saying this because he’s my son, he’s really talented.”
“If you say that, I’m looking forward to it. “But.”
The gentle atmosphere of Jis suddenly changed.
“Getting the family’s permission to practice Aurorism is a different matter.”
A cold atmosphere that does not fit the title Flame Blade.
Jis raised his head.
“Do you really think that Leo Plov is worthy of inheriting Gerdinger’s flame?”
Pressure flowed from his body.
I didn’t use any special power.
It is a charisma that is naturally ingrained in the body.
“I think I’m fully qualified.”
Reina said, curling the corner of her mouth.
“You will find out when you meet. “The value of that child.”
***
“Lord Wheaton. “Do you know anything about your aunt?”
Celia asked Wheaton, who had been the family’s loyal knight since before she was born.
“Raina is the previous owner of the ‘Flame Storm’ that you have.”
Flame Storm.
It is one of the heirlooms with the power to maximize Gerdinger’s symbol, ‘Flame Aura’.
Just by knowing that he was the owner of this Flame Storm, you could guess what kind of person he was.
“How could someone like that abandon his family name and live in a borderland kingdom like this?”
“Reina lost her spark in an unexpected accident. He later abandoned the name Gerdinger and left the family, saying he wanted to live a normal life.”
The moment you abandon your family name, the family records disappear, regardless of the reason.
“I never dreamed that I would see you here again, Lady Raina.”
‘It must have been amazing to see Lord Whitten speak like this. Would you like to receive swordsmanship instruction later?’
While he was thinking of trying out Reina’s swordsmanship.
Before we knew it, we had arrived at the Plov family’s parade ground.
Huh-! Huh-!
“huh?”
The sound of a wooden sword being swung was heard.
Someone was swinging a sword at the parade ground.
Familiar red eyes with unfamiliar white hair.
“Are you Leo Plov?”
Leo looked at Celia with puzzled eyes.
“however? “Who are you?”
“Ahem.”
Celia cleared her throat, straightened her back, and introduced herself.
“My name is Celia Gerdinger. “He’s your maternal cousin.”
Celia thought Leo would be surprised.
A beautiful girl who is mentioned as the top student to enter Lumern, where the world’s best talents gather.
Celia was a world-famous celebrity.
In particular, he was an object of envy among his peers and was literally like an idol.
“okay? nice to meet.”
Huh-! Huh-!
However, Leo’s reaction was dry.
He didn’t even stop the sword.
Celia narrowed her eyes at the obvious lack of interest.
When he tried to speak again, Leo’s sword stopped.
“Whoa.”
Celia asked Leo, who was taking a deep breath and wiping away his sweat.
“How old are you?”
“fifteen.”
“You’re the same age as me? It was fate that we met like this, but I especially loved it. I’ll teach you swordsmanship. how is it?”
Celia suggested with a friendly smile.
‘If you treat this guy well, your aunt might give you special guidance.’
It was a selfish offer, but Leo was not interested.
‘what? ‘Who is this kid?’
Swordsmanship instruction?
I know he’s a very talented person, but I got the street number wrong.
Leo lost interest in Celia and swung his sword again.
Huh-! Huh-!
This time, Celia watched the movement of the sword carefully.
And he let out an exclamation.
‘It’s pretty good, right?’
There was nothing unnecessary about the movement of the sword.
I could tell that it was a sword with considerable power.
‘But it’s our family blood, right? ‘Your skills are better than I thought?’
Clutter-clack-clack-
‘But what on earth is that bracelet?’
Every time the sword moved, it made an annoying sound.
After a while, Leo retrieved the sword.
“Now try moving properly. “I think you have potential.”
Celia got a little excited.
But Leo wiped his sweat and left the parade ground.
“Hey, where are you going?”
“Did you finish training today?”
“I said I would look after you, right?”
“I decline.”
“why?”
“I don’t really want to be taught by someone who is less skilled than me.”
“what?”
Celia’s face hardened.
“Are you saying you’re stronger than me now?”
“You must be strong now. “Because I can’t use Aurors.”
You can’t beat Celia in a real fight for your life.
“But I’ll win the swordsmanship sparring, right?”
The corner of Celia’s mouth twitched as she looked at Leo speaking calmly.
“You have great confidence, don’t you think?”
Red eyes narrowed.
“I can tell from the way you swing your sword. you. “Aren’t you the strongest in your school?”
At Delran Royal School, all students aspiring to become knights are Aurors.
But Leo will be much stronger than them.
Regardless of Auror, the basic foundation was very different.
‘The reason this guy didn’t learn Auror skills is probably because of his aunt’s intention to make him learn high-ranking Auror techniques, right?’
High-ranking Auror law.
For example, the Auror Mind method that can only be learned through the Gerdinger family lineage.
‘But what? I’m stronger now? Does that mean that if you learn Auror, you will become stronger than me? what? Very cheeky!’
Gerdinger’s children begin to compete fiercely from an early age.
The competition made no exceptions, even for the children of the head of the family.
And Celia was always the best.
The basis of her self-esteem was not ‘Jerdinger’ but confidence in herself.
“good. “If you’re that confident in your skills, let’s spar with me.”
“Sparring?”
“okay. If I win, you will become my servant while you are with House Plov.”
“What if I win? Will you be my maid then?”
“of course. It’s only fair if the conditions are the same, right? “It won’t happen like that, though.”
Celia shook her head and smiled mischievously.
“Ah, lady.”
Whitten, who was watching the situation, urgently stopped him.
“Don’t worry, Lord Wheaton. “I win anyway.”
Celia, with a confident expression, looked at Leo and said.
“I’ll let you know that you’re a frog in a well.”
Two people stood in the middle of the training ground.
Leo spoke to Celia, who was holding a wooden sword.
“Oh. “You can use your aurors.”
“what?”
‘This is real!’
“joy! Then I will also give you two attacks. “Feel free to attack wherever you want.”
Celia’s body glowed red.
Auror armor.
It is a technique that covers the entire body with aura like armor.
“okay? “Then I won’t decline.”
“However much.”
Celia curled the corners of her mouth.
He was confident that Leo’s attacks, which could not use auras, would not work on him.
Leo, holding the sword with both hands, took a deep breath.
“Woo-!”
Blood sprouted on the forearm holding the sword.
Leo’s red eyes flashed.
Kwaang-!
The wooden sword hit Celia precisely on the temple.
My head snapped back and my bones rang from the impact.
Stiffness and pain rose from my neck.
Celia’s face turned white from the unimaginable power.
“It’s solid.”
Leo was impressed.
“Huh, huh! Do you think attacks like yours can penetrate my Auror armor?”
‘W-what kind of power is this incredible!’
I was forcing a smile, but I almost missed the goal.
It was a blow so powerful that the wooden sword with strengthening magic was in tatters.
‘But it’s not like I can’t handle it.’
Seeing Celia smiling exaggeratedly, Leo took off the bracelets on both wrists and threw them away.
thud-!
“… … !”
“Then shall we try swinging it properly?”
Leo’s smile, with his shoulders relaxed, looked like the devil to Celia.
A bracelet with a weight enchantment.
This is an extremely ignorant training method that would normally be ridiculed as being outdated.
But I couldn’t laugh at it as much as I do now.
This was because the scene before my eyes was beyond ignorance to a level of madness.
“Then one more shot.”
“Okay, let’s sleep… … !”
Kwaaaang-!
A sound that could not be compared to before rang out.
A distant shock hit my head.
She thought as she watched Leo throw away the shattered reinforced wooden sword in his fading consciousness.
‘What the… … .’
Celia’s eyes rolled over.
‘Are there all crazy people?’
