“Ugh!”
Celia was moaning in one part of the parade ground.
Leo didn’t care about that and was wiping off his sweat and rehydrating in the shade.
‘What on earth did this guy do?’
Celia looked fed up at that sight.
Even though she moved much more violently than Celia, she was fine.
I sat down next to Leo with trembling limbs.
There was no time to brag anymore.
During the break, I tried to recover my physical strength as much as possible.
‘Otherwise I won’t be able to chase you.’
Even though it may be difficult, my pride does not allow me to not be able to chase after it.
‘You have grit.’
Exceptional talent.
And the mindset of not giving up.
I was excited to see what kind of hero he would grow into in the future.
While the two were resting, Jis came into the parade ground.
He looked at Celia, who was shaking, and stroked her chin.
‘It will be a good experience for Celia.’
Since I was born, I have never once fallen behind my peers.
Jis, who had been watching Celia’s training since she was young, was worried about that.
It’s true that I wasn’t conceited or anything, but I was overly arrogant.
Pride and conceit.
Celia was standing at the border.
‘It’s not a bad idea to have this experience before entering Lumern.’
There is no law that the best in Sjördinger is the best in Rumern.
There are many famous heroes in the world besides Gerdinger.
Just looking at the Lordren Empire, there is a magic hero named Lwalin.
‘You can’t always be the best.’
Before confidence turns into arrogance.
It’s not a bad idea to look at the wall once in a while.
Leo and Celia.
If we were to objectively evaluate the two, the areas in which they excelled were different.
‘Leo has not learned the Auror method, so he is no match for Celia in the Auror field. On the contrary, his physical abilities are far ahead of Leo’s.’
And Celia’s weakness that Jis thinks is also her physical ability.
Of course, this does not mean that Celia lacks physical ability.
As someone who holds a sword, physical training is basic.
By ordinary people’s standards, Celia also possesses tremendous strength and strength.
‘But I couldn’t overcome the limit. And swordsmanship.’
Swordsmanship was also the reason why Celia was passionate about Leo.
She had never met anyone her age who had the same level of swordsmanship as hers.
‘But according to what my sister said, Leo is also ahead in swordsmanship.’
In Jis’s view, for Celia, Leo was the first wall she encountered.
“Uncle, what’s going on?”
Celia asked, struggling to get up.
“You look tired. Sit down and rest.”
Jis said that and looked at Leo.
“Leo.”
“Yes, uncle.”
“I plan to talk to the head of the family so that you can inherit the ‘Phoenix Breath’.”
Celia was startled by the unexpected words.
“Phoenix Breath?”
An auric technique that only blood relatives recognized by the family can learn.
‘Does this mean this guy is officially my cousin?’
Celia looked at Leo with a mysterious gaze.
“I don’t think the Jerdinger family will give permission easily.”
“So there is a condition.”
“What is it?”
“To pass this Lumern entrance exam.”
“uncle. The Lumern entrance exam is a real test. This guy hasn’t even learned Auror! Oh no. “This is too dangerous a test for Master Leo.”
“Are you worried about me?”
When Leo asked with a grin, Celia answered bluntly.
“joy. “I was just telling the truth.”
Sparring and actual fighting are different.
“Besides, Master Leo has no combat experience, right?”
Most Lumern aspirants have practical experience.
Celia also has experience participating in monster subjugation and defeating monsters.
The presence or absence of practical experience makes a bigger difference than you can imagine.

Leo chuckled at Celia’s words.
He is a person who is much more familiar with the battlefield where lives are at stake than the peaceful daily life.
“Leo. “What do you think?”
“Did you ask your father and mother?”
“He said he would follow your wishes.”
“Then I will pay.”
I was planning on convincing my parents to take the entrance exam this year anyway.
Jis grinned as she watched Leo answer without hesitation.
“As expected, you were planning to take the entrance exam this year?”
With a satisfied expression on his face, he took turns talking.
“Then I’m looking forward to it.”
***
Delran Royal School is closed until exams are held.
So Leo invested that time into training.
Celia followed that schedule desperately.
“haha! look. Do it, you did it, right? Damn white haired bastard! How… … Whoop?!”
last day.
Celia was returning to the mansion with trembling limbs, using a wooden sword as a walking stick.
On the way back, I felt nauseous.
The girl’s overworked body was in rags.
Celia staggered and arrived in front of Leo’s room.
smart-
“come in.”
When I opened the door, I saw Leo putting something in the basin.
“What is that?”
“portion.”
“You said you wouldn’t use potions on me, but you were secretly using them?”
If only recovery potions had been used, the training wouldn’t have been this difficult.
However, Leo did not use the potion because he could not train.
Seeing that, Celia, who also activated Ogi, did not use the potion.
“Isn’t it basic to control your physical condition the day before an exam?”
Celia’s body was already at its limits.
This is thanks to the fact that I adjusted my pace and overworked my body to avoid falling out completely during the week.
Of course, even if I had controlled my pace, I would have fallen long ago if I had not had enough will.
At first, I thought I would pick him out, but Leo had the admirable tenacity to follow me without giving up.
“Yes, of course.”
“Lie down on the bed with your arms and legs rolled up. “I’ll apply the potion.”
“I have plenty of potions.”
Celia uses potions created by the best alchemists.
“Do you think this will be much more effective than what your family uses?”
“Hmm. “It may not be possible, but I will accept it since it is your sincerity.”
Celia rolled up the sleeves of her training uniform and lay down.
Slender, white limbs were revealed.
Leo soaked a cloth in the potion in the basin and placed it on Celia’s arm.
The pain went away along with the cold feeling.
Celia’s eyes widened at the soft scent.
“for a moment! “Is this a potion made by an elf?”
“I guess so.”
“How did you get this?”
Elf potion!
It is a special product classified as the highest grade among potions.
Only elves knew the recipe, and other races could not imitate it.
I never dreamed that the marquis of this rural kingdom would have it.
“I bought it at a corner store.”
“A corner store? “Where is it?”
“Not anymore. “I bought everything.”
“Ugh. but… … “Anyway, what if I only use this precious thing to recover from muscle pain?”
“No matter how I use it, it’s my heart.”
In fact, this was a potion that Leo made himself.
It was Luna, the founder of the nebula, who taught me how to make it.
“You’re secretly big-hearted.”
Although she looked like it was a waste, Celia obediently left the recovery to Leo.
A cloth soaked in potion was placed on my arms and legs one by one.
I felt the terrible muscle pain disappear as if it were a lie.
“young master.”
“why.”
“I won’t lose tomorrow.”
Celia showed her winning spirit.
After training and watching together for a week, I realized that Leo was not someone to be taken lightly.
‘I might pass the test.’
“We won’t let down our guard like we did last time.”
Celia huffed and laughed.
“So, if you happen to meet me and fail, don’t blame me.”
“You’re shaking like crazy.”
Leo, who had just placed a cloth on Celia’s thighs, squeezed her thighs tightly.
Sigh-!
“evil! hey! “It hurts!”
“what? hey? Are you still a maid? “If you’re a maid, act like a maid.”
“You’re laughing! Just wait and see! Tomorrow I will repay your shame! When we meet, we make a complete mess of it… … !”
Wow!
“Ahh! it hurts! Ha, don’t do it! I won’t fuss! I’m not being picky! Argh! young master!”
Celia’s screams echoed throughout the mansion.
***
The next morning.
A large crowd was seen in the central gymnasium of Delran Royal School.
They were people watching the entrance exam.
Among them was the king of Delode.
Celia, who took off her maid uniform for the first time in a week, brushed her hair.
“joy! “It looks like the unlucky Lwalin guys haven’t arrived yet.”
“We are famous heroes from the same country, so why are we talking so harshly?”
“You will know when you meet Mr. Master. “Why am I saying this?”
“okay? But I think it would be better for you to change your way of speaking.”
“Oops!”
Celia urgently covered her mouth.
It seems to have become a habit for a week.
Meanwhile, from afar, other test takers glanced at Celia.
“Is that Celia Gerdinger?”
“They say you’re one of the top candidates in the western region, and you sure have a lot to spare.”
“Do you want to bet? Will there be a chief from Lwalin? “Will a senior figure emerge from Gerdinger?”
Leo chuckled at the whispers of the other test takers.
“It’s famous.”
“Hmph, of course.”
“So, the way you talk.”
“Ugh?”
‘This has completely become a habit!’
I was blushing and covering my mouth.
“Miss Celia!”
Someone called Celia.
“hmm? Leo Plov. “Why are you here?”
Gulliver, who was approaching, frowned.
“I’m here because I’m taking the Lumern entrance exam.”
“what? Are you taking the entrance exam? Puhahahaha!”
Gulliver burst into laughter.
“I was so crazy about dying. You, who can’t even handle Aurors, are taking the Lumern entrance exam? “I hope you don’t disgrace the country.”
Ignoring Leo, he stood in front of Celia.
“Miss Celia. “Let’s support each other this time.”
Celia narrowed her eyes at those words.
“Sorry, do you know me?”
“yes?”
“Because I’m not good at remembering people’s faces.”
“Well, we met at Delran Royal Academy a week ago, right? “This is Gulliver Traden, the school representative.”
“ah. That happened. okay. “Let’s support each other.”
“yes? ah… … yes.”
Celia smiled brightly.
Gulliver’s smile makes him look angry again.
At that time, one side of the training hall became noisy.
Celia glanced towards that place.
“Together… … No, Leo. Follow me.”
“Why me?”
“Oh my! “If you want to follow me, please follow me.”
Celia grabbed Leo’s wrist and headed toward the commotion.
‘Pfft! Pretending to be friends with Miss Celia!’
A spark flew from Gulliver’s eyes.
The story of the Gerdinger family staying at Plov Street is already a famous story.
It’s a secret that Leo is Celia’s cousin.
Therefore, Gulliver could not understand the reason.
‘We’ll see, I’ll show you my skills in the test!’
Meanwhile. Leo, who followed Celia, met a man and a woman with light blue hair and eyes.
“It’s been a while, Celia.”
“hi. Abad Lwalin.”
Abad Lwalin smiled softly.
Leo saw that and muttered to himself.
‘You’re laughing a little sheepishly.’
“Celia. “Did you prepare well for the test?”
“of course! “There is no problem with the chief.”
“Hehe, really? But what should I do? “I think the top spot will be mine, right?”
“oh? You are free to be mistaken. Ho ho ho!”
As befits a family that has been competing for the position of the most prestigious family in the empire for hundreds of years, the battle of nerves was sharp.
“Let’s go, Chelsea.”
“Yes, brother.”
After ending the war of nerves, Abad left with Chelsea.
Celia raised her eyes.
“Unlucky, aren’t you?”
“I feel it, but I’m not sure if I’m unlucky?”
“no. Take a look. “He’s a very rude guy.”
Celia clenched her fists.
“Hehehe- I’ll make it like butter on a hot frying pan, you greasy butter bastard.”
Celia, with a fierce smile and burning fighting spirit, glared at Leo.
“Don’t ever fall for those guys! Because we can’t allow Gerdinger to lose to Lwalin!”
“I’m not Gerdinger yet?”
“Be prepared! Lwalin! “Leo and I will make the muksabal!”
Leo answered lazily, but Celia didn’t listen.
