539.
Berkia, who allowed the unexpected counterattack, stood up.
There was no major damage.
but.
‘Master.’
I definitely caught a glimpse of Kyle’s shadow a little while ago.
However, Berkia could not fully accept what he saw.
“What do you say?”
Leo pointed at himself with a finger.
“I.”
Leo spoke bluntly and pointed to Berkia.
“yes.”
And he declared indifferently:
“teacher.”
Despite those words, Berkia looked at Leo with dry eyes.
“gibberish.”
A cold sneer came.
‘You won’t believe it.’
It was natural.
Because it’s a ridiculous story.
then… … .
“You just have to prove it.”
Leo opened his palm.
Ugh-!
Berkia looked wary at the magic that emanated from Leo’s hand.
Woe!
And soon, a flower bloomed amidst the snowy ruins.
Berkia’s eyes opened wide when she saw that.
The flowers began to bloom one by one, and soon began to bloom in the surrounding area.
Berkia’s eyes trembled when she saw that.
“flower… … The magic that blooms… … .”
There is no way I can forget this magic.
How can I forget my teacher’s brightly smiling face as he created a flower field in full bloom?
Berkia’s hands trembled.
‘no. This… … This… … .’
At that moment, a spirit appeared on Leo’s outstretched palm.
Berkia saw that and took a breath.
“Spiritual arts?”
Soon, a gray aura erupted from the sword in Leo’s hand.
He uses magic, manipulates spirits, and emits aura.
Berkia knew very well what it was.
“… … all… … class.”
Berkia muttered in a trembling voice and made eye contact with Leo once again.
The image of someone clearly appears behind Leo.
“S… … Master… … .”
There was no way I couldn’t recognize it.
The magic of making flowers bloom.
All class abilities.
And even that look.
Countless evidence points to Leo as Kyle.
“Ugh!”
Berkia held her face.
Leo took a step towards Berkia.
Bump-bump-
At the same time, Berkia took a step back.
“no, I do not want… … .”
“Berkhia.”
Jump- Jump- Jump- Jump-
“Don’t look…” … .”
“You didn’t do anything wrong.”
“It’s different than back then! “Don’t understand me!”
Berkia screamed in a fit of rage.
Seeing the teacher who understood him, his mind collapsed even faster.
Looking at that, Leo tightened his hands.
I knew it.
That he cannot raise Berkia up with his own presence alone.
That’s why Berkia collapsed so much.
It’s too late to rely on someone.

‘Even if it was hard, I wouldn’t have leaned on it.’
Leo taught his students like that.
To be able to walk quietly alone without relying on anyone.
“iced coffee!”
The hatred burning in my heart is painful.
It was despairing that there was a teacher who would be disappointed by his ugly appearance.
Berkia, who had closed her eyes tightly to soothe her crazy emotions, opened them.
Then he raised his head and looked at Leo.
“Master.”
Berkia, who was taking a step back, spoke in a trembling voice.
“me… … Please punish me.”
Jeopuk- Jeopuk-
Berkia approached Leo.
“The ugly me who has become undead… … “Please punish me for trying to destroy the world you saved.”
Only one person.
The only person qualified to hold Berkia accountable.
That was Kyle, who sacrificed everything to protect the world.
And it was also a way to escape this terrible pain.
Leo said while looking at Berkia.
“okay. Running away is one way.”
Berkia’s face began to relax after hearing those words.
But the words that followed left me frozen.
“It’s not a bad choice to ask the person you thought of as your father to kill you and be comfortable, Berkia.”
Berkia’s body began to tremble like an aspen tree.
I just remembered it.
What if your child asks you to kill him?
How do you feel when you hear those words?
I felt like my stomach was turning.
My self-loathing deepened.
dump-!
“Ahhhh.”
Berkia raised her head and let out a groan.
“Aaaahhh!”
Berkia, who was screaming in pain, began to run away.
I feel dizzy.
Reason disappeared due to uncontrollable emotions.
Meanwhile, my eyes met Leo for a moment.
It was those eyes again.
It’s like it’s a pity… … It seems sad… … Eyes that understand.
When was it?
When was the first time Master looked at me like that?
Since when did it start?
What made you think of Master as being like a father?
Berkia lost consciousness in his fading mind.
“Leo!”
At that moment, an urgent voice was heard.
When Leo turned his head, Runia, Eiran, and Chen Xia were running towards him with white faces.
“What about Berkia?!”
Leo said, looking at Runia who asked urgently.
“I had a mental breakdown.”
Runia and Chen Xia’s faces stiffened.
Eiran’s face turned white.
“Now it’s going to explode.”
“Well, that…” … .”
Eiran looked at Berkia.
“Uh, how… … how should… … !”
“don’t worry.”
Leo calmly opened his mouth.
Before I knew it, my gaze was fixed on Berkia, who had lost his temper.
From the beginning, I had no intention of giving up.
That’s a word that isn’t in Leo’s dictionary.
but… … .
‘Even if you try to give up, if you look at it with those eyes… … ‘You can’t give up.’
Leo’s hands tightened.
At the last moment before his mind collapsed, the image of Berkia looking at him with fearful eyes was caught in his eyes.
I’ve only ever seen Berkia look so scared.
It was like that then too.
‘Even then.’
***
The training that I couldn’t understand ended that day.
“Keeeeeeeeek!”
“If someone saw it, they would think it was an animal.”
Kyle made a sour expression as he looked at Berkia, who was lying on the floor and glaring at him like a snarling animal.
Kyle’s training was a repetition of the basics.
The basic of basics that allows you to endlessly swing your sword and endlessly recite the magic that Berkia can use.
It’s easy at first, when you’re full of physical and mental strength.
However, Kyle’s training becomes more difficult as time goes by.
When your physical and mental strength begins to deplete, mistakes begin to occur.
And Berkia had been repeating this penance for two months.
If you don’t succeed in swinging the sword and reciting magic for a full day, you can’t move on to the next level.
Kyle’s task was extremely simple, yet equally difficult.
For Berkia, who had a strong desire to become stronger, Kyle’s training was bound to be arduous.
However, that doesn’t mean Kyle accepts Berkia’s foolish behavior.
No matter how rough their life has been, a child is still a child.
The temperature difference between Luna and Aron’s treatment of Berkia and Kyle’s treatment of Berkia was very different.
Kyle didn’t give Berkia a single emotion.
No, rather, it is cold-hearted and malicious.
If Berkia falls during training, the people who come to her side and help her up are Luna and Aron.
Kyle waits for Berkia to stand up on her own and then knocks her down again.
That’s why Berkia hated Kyle.
I knew his training was helpful, but that was why it was difficult to follow.
Before I knew it, it was dawn.
Berkia, who was sitting on the floor, muttered.
“hungry.”
Maybe I will have to starve until tomorrow.
Luna and Aron would also be asleep at this dawn.
However, I don’t think Kyle in front of me will prepare me a meal… … .
“Let’s eat and go.”
“yes?”
Berkia looked up at Kyle with wide eyes as if in surprise.
Looking at Berkia like that, Kyle said indifferently.
“Don’t you want to eat it?”
“I will eat it if you take care of it.”
Berkia, who was an orphan, never skipped meals because she didn’t like Kyle.
You should eat it when you can.
Berkia knew that fact better than anyone else.
Berkia stood up and followed Kyle who was walking ahead.
‘Is Master Kyle a surprisingly good person?’
That thought came to me naturally, but I soon hated myself for thinking that way.
You say you’re a good person just because you give me food.
This is nonsense.
Berkia shook her head, and rebelliousness and grumpiness welled up in her eyes.
‘This person is a bad person.’
Of course, it didn’t take long for that thought to change.
‘Master Kyle is a good person.’
Berkia bit her fork and made a happy expression.
And then quickly, ‘Hot!’ He shook his head with a bewildered expression.
‘No, there’s no way he’s a good person just because his food is delicious!’
While Berkia was gathering her composure, Kyle asked in bewilderment as he looked at Berkia eating hastily.
“Aren’t Luna and Aron giving you food?”
‘Yeah, no. He’s a good person. Are you sure.’
“I’m giving it to you.”
“They say it’s nutritious food and they give it to you because they made it.”
Kyle clicked his tongue mercilessly.
“Just buy it and feed it.”
Mmmmm-! Berkia nodded her head without realizing it.
It was an unholy thought to have for teachers who loved him endlessly, but the food Kyle made made him think that way.
Berkia, who was eating, looked around Kyle’s house.
It’s desolate.
It didn’t feel like a place where people lived.
“There’s nothing at Master Kyle’s house.”
“That way you won’t have regrets.”
Kyle said calmly.
“What does that mean?”
“If you have a place to return to, you will have regrets. “Then you will have regrets at the last moment.”
Berkia, who was still young, did not understand those words.
However, I knew that Kyle’s face looked somewhat lonely as he said that.
Well-
Berkia asked, putting down her fork.
“Can I go to sleep?”
“If you’ve eaten everything, go.”
Berkia pouted her lips at those words.
“Jomsaeng.”
puck-!
***
“Strange.”
“What are you talking about by calling all of us except Kyle?”
Dweno asked bitterly.
Seeing Dweno like that, Luna slams the table! She hit down.
“Berkia is having a meal at Kyle’s house where we’ll be meeting these days! “Cooking for Berkia was one of my pleasures!”
“That’s strange. Why? “He doesn’t really like Kyle, does he?”
Lisinas tilted his head.
Dweno said while looking at the two women.
“Do you really not know the reason?”
“Dweno, do you know why?”
Dweno looked at Lisinas, who was asking with a puzzled face, as if he was truly pitiful, and said.
“The food Luna makes doesn’t taste like cooking, so I guess we should eat at Kyle’s house.”
“ah! surely!”
Aron nodded as if he understood.
“You old man! What’s wrong with my cooking? “Compared to yours, my cooking is a work of art!”
“Don’t insult art. And my cooking is a product of creativity. Besides, unlike yours, it looks beautiful on the outside.”
Dweno sneered.
“It would be more delicious to eat grilled monster meat than to eat the food you and Lishinas cooked.”
At those words, Lisinas and Luna used magic to restrain Dweno.
“You first?”
“No, let’s play together. “I have a face.”
“I am solar plexus.”
“Try as much as you want. “Your hands will only hurt.”
Even while being beaten, Deweno remained calm.
After some commotion, Luna spoke seriously.
“good. You mean because Kyle’s cooking tastes better? Then, I will practice cooking starting today!”
“It must be difficult to be Berkia’s parent.”
“huh? Do Luna and I look like parents?”
“Aron, come to your senses. I’m talking about Kyle. “Do you want to look like this and your parents?”
“no.”
“These are real!”
Luna waved her staff frantically at Dweno and Aron.
Lisinas, who was shaking his head at the scene, looked out the window.
There, Berkia was following behind Kyle.
Lisinas, who was looking at that scene, nodded.
