Episode 1026
“Are you, puberty?”
Raon thought he had misheard and asked Helen again.
“Your Majesty, what you heard is correct.”
Helen nodded calmly, saying that it was puberty.
“Actually, most kids in their mid-teens go through puberty. Of course, since you’re so mature, that period passed quietly for you.”
She smiled faintly, saying that children at that age tend to rebel against their parents or behave badly.
“You said that Sia is slowly returning to her original age. She has now passed childhood and entered puberty.”
Helen let out a short breath, saying that it didn’t seem particularly strange.
“Hey, Sia! Dad, I was wrong! Open the door!”
Edgar’s eyes welled up with tears as if he couldn’t stand Sia’s anger.
“Ah, go away! I don’t want to see Dad!”
Sia shouted at them to go downstairs and never open the door.
“Sia….”
Edgar collapsed, clutching his chest, as if shocked by his daughter’s sudden change.
“Are you sure this is okay?”
Raon’s eyes fluttered as he watched Edgar, drooling and scratching the floor with his nails.
“As I said, this is something that most parents and children experience.”
Helen shrugged, saying she’d get used to it in no time.
“Because by the time children reach their mid-teens, they think they are all grown up and don’t like being controlled.”
She laughed, saying that puberty is part of the process of becoming an adult.
“It’s something that happens to most kids… .”
Raon nodded slightly.
‘Actually, I wasn’t a child.’
In my previous life, I only thought about survival, so I couldn’t go through puberty. In this life, it was my second life, and since I was actually mentally an adult, it didn’t make sense for me to go through puberty.
‘Come to think of it, Burren and Martha must have gone through puberty too.’
During their days as trainees, Buren and Martha, who were little kids, pretended to be adults and acted like fools until they got beaten by him and came to their senses. Thinking back to that time, Sia’s condition didn’t seem particularly strange.
‘Of course Runaan… .’
Blind then and now.
Only Runaan seemed to still retain the innocence of her childhood.
“Anyway, you don’t have to worry too much.”
“Good. You’re doing well.”
As Helen put her hand down, saying that she would just pass by, Evelyn came up next to her. She smiled as she looked at Sia’s room, which did not open despite Edgar’s sobbing.
“… Are you doing well?”
Raon narrowed his eyes at Evelyn.
“You didn’t touch my sister, did you?”
Thinking back on her words, it seemed like she had done something to Sia.
“Yeah! I told you, young lady.”
Evelyn nodded and clapped her hands lightly.
“You shouldn’t just say that everything is okay. Sometimes you have to rebel to become an adult.”
She lifted her nose, which was as smooth as a crescent moon, as if she were proud of herself.
“ah….”
Raon’s chin dropped as he looked at Evelyn standing proudly.
‘Was this guy the culprit?’
Sia’s adolescence didn’t come naturally, but seemed to be created by Evelyn.
-That guy is really crazy!
Lars still hid behind Evelyn’s shoulder as if he was afraid of her.
“It’s not a bad thing. If you keep your emotions bottled up, they’ll explode.”
Evelyn waved her hand, saying that it would actually be helpful to Sia.
“The young lady lost all memories of her life as the Green King, so she was unable to establish her own identity as the child’s mind took root in the adult’s body. That’s why her mental age increases more slowly than her mental development.”
She twisted her finger, saying it would be better for Sia to go through puberty early.
“I think so too.”
Helen nodded slightly at Evelyn.
“Miss Sia deliberately lowered her mental age to match the affection of Edgar and Sylvia.”
She let out a low moan, saying that she saw Sia deliberately acting like a child.
“I think it’s time to break down that wall.”
Helen also folded her hands and said that it was time to prepare for becoming an adult.
“I see….”
Raon looked at Sia’s room, his mouth watering.
‘That being said, Father, I’m worried about Mother…’
Sylvia is a very strong-willed person when it comes to external affairs, but when it comes to family matters, she is softer and more delicate than a tofu. I don’t know how she will accept Sia’s change.
“First, I need to have a conversation… .”
Raon stopped as he was going up to Sia’s room.
‘The sound has disappeared. Did he go outside?’
Seeing that Sia had disappeared, it seemed that she had gone out of the mansion through the window.
‘Are you a runaway?’
Raon frowned and went out right away.
However, there was no need to look far for Sia, as she was swinging her sword in front of the lake as usual.

“Hey, sister.”
Raon cleared his throat and approached Sia. He opened his eyes slightly, thinking that he might hear something from her as she was going through puberty.
“Laon!”
But unlike Edgar, Sia smiled brightly and took his hand.
“When did you come!”
“uh…?”
Raon opened his eyes wide at Sia’s unexpected hospitality.
“I’ve learned a lot about the Gwanga Sword! Look at me!”
Sia walked with him to the lake, telling him to look at her sword.
‘what?’
Raon blinked as he watched Sia treating him kindly.
‘Why is it the same for me?’
-Why? It’s because you’re my little brother.
Lars frowned as if asking why something so obvious was being asked.
-That kid is your younger sibling who needs to be protected. It’s only natural that you should treat him kindly.
The guy clicked his tongue as if telling me to think about it carefully.
‘Oh, I see.’
When I think about it, Sia always put me first and took care of me. No matter how strong and big I became, I felt like I was just a younger sister to her.
“Hey guys!”
As Raon watched Sia’s mad swordsmanship unfold, the back door of the annex opened and Sylvia walked out. She was holding a basket of snacks, as if she was going to give them to herself and Sia.
“Eat up. Mom baked cookies.”
Sylvia put the basket down on the table and told them to have a snack.
“I’m not eating.”
Sia shook her head, saying she had no intention of eating a snack.
“No, just eat one.”
“I’m not eating! It’s bothering me. Mom, go!”
She turned her head away without even looking at Sylvia, who was trying to put a cookie in her mouth.
“iced coffee….”
Sylvia trembled her lips and lowered her head, seemingly embarrassed by Sia’s appearance.
“Oh, Mother!”
Raon approached Sylvia, who was shaking her shoulders and arms, and supported her. She seemed to be greatly shocked by her child’s first experience of rebellion.
“Are you okay? My sister is going through puberty right now… .”
“It’s so good!”
When I tried to explain to Sylvia, she didn’t cry, but smiled and lifted her head.
“mother?”
Raon swallowed dryly as he looked at Sylvia, who was smiling contrary to his expectations.
“Why are you laughing…?”
“Actually, I was grateful that you grew up so maturely without making me feel bad, but I was also a little disappointed. When Sia rebelled, it was so nice. This is puberty… ”
Sylvia smiled with her cheeks flushed red, as if she was happy about Sia’s change.
“Siyaaaaaaaaaa!”
On the other hand, Edgar could not accept his daughter’s change, and cried and called out Sia’s name.
“… … .”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the smiling Sylvia, the crying Edgar, and the ignoring Sia.
‘Is this house okay?’
When I think of a grandfather who is so eager to show off his grandson that he shakes his feet and creates an earthquake, I start to doubt whether this Sieghart is running properly.
‘This is so weird!’
-No matter how strange it is… .
Lars shook his head firmly as if to tell her not to talk nonsense.
-There is no one stranger than you!
***
“Hmm… .”
Raon licked his lips as he watched the inspectors quietly meditating in the training ground.
‘It’s finally sorted out.’
A month has passed since I received the Spirit Phone. During that time, most of the Gwangpungjeon Inspectors have experienced selflessness through sparring with themselves and have ascended to a higher level.
‘of course….’
Some of them did not awaken though.
Inspectors who had recently crossed the wall, like Mark Gotten, were unable to achieve the awakening of the spirit phone because the light did not shine. The spirit phone did not work for everyone, but seemed to have a greater effect on those who were blocked by the wall or suffering from mental illness.
-Even so, a scam is a scam.
Lass still twisted his lips as if he couldn’t believe it.
-Everything that was affected by your soul broke down the wall, and some children even climbed two steps at once.
The guy nods his chin at Yua and Julius, who are training with Runaan.
‘Because those kids’ talents are no less than Karun or Martha’s.’
As soon as they received the call, Yua and Julius jumped over two walls in one breath, just as Eden had intended as the owner of the helmet. Although they were still young, it would not be strange for them to be called experts now.
‘If I can climb over one or two more walls like this, I might be able to compete with Sima with just the Gwangpungjeon.’
Strengthen your aura with torture training, increase your mental power with concentration training, and reach the realm of martial arts with spirit phone calls.
Now that he could quickly grow all of the regular gods, if Gwangpungjeon continued to grow and became capable of facing the leader of Sima, it would not be impossible to defeat one of the Sima with Gwangpungjeon’s power alone.
‘Of course the hardest thing there is….’
I guess it’s my growth.
Among the remaining Sima leaders, there is not a single one who is easy to reach. Even if you train for 10 years, you may not be able to reach them.
‘It’s true that my growth has actually slowed down.’
Raon brought up the reward message he had received yesterday.
[All abilities increase by 10 points.]
[The soul level rises.]
[The level of the trait <Spiritual Phone> increases.]
This is the message I received after awakening the last remaining crane. It was pleasant, but there was something different from before.
‘The level of the sword has not increased.’
Unlike when I first awakened Martha and Runaan, there was no effect on the level of the Heart Sword. This meant that the Heart Sword could no longer be grown through normal soul calls.
‘As expected, he is absolutely ignorant.’
If the transcendental ignorance that Glenman was learning was growing through repetition of the spirit phone, then that would be even more absurd. Now, it seemed that Simgeom had to grow in a different way.
‘After I finish the piled up tasks, should I just focus on my personal training?’
As Raon turned his gaze, wondering what kind of training to do, he saw people passing by outside the 5th training ground.
‘Lord Lavawin?’
Iris’s subordinate, Rabawin, who had the false alias of the Pirate King, was seen walking towards Federick’s mansion with his subordinates dressed as pirates.
‘Your expression doesn’t look good?’
Raon looked into Rabawin’s hardened eyes, then came down from the stage and followed him.
***
“stop.”
Rabawin stopped walking in front of the temporary accommodation where Alice was staying.
“I’ll be staying here for a while, so tidy up the inside and outside of the mansion.”
He gave instructions to tidy up the mansion first, as he didn’t know when Alice would return.
“yep!”
“All right!”
The pirates answered blankly, despite their menacing expressions, and dispersed to various parts of the mansion.
“Hmm….”
“Lord Lavawin.”
As Rabawin let out a short sigh and looked at the darkening sky, Raon, who had followed him, spoke to him.
“Huh? Raon?”
Lavawin turned around as if he didn’t even realize that Raon had followed him, and his eyes widened.
“Hey, what are you doing here? Is Lady Alice still…?”
“I know.”
Raon nodded as he looked at the mansion from which all warmth had disappeared.
“Auntie, you are doing joint training with Karun.”
He smiled faintly, saying that he knew it wasn’t there.
“Oh, well, you know better than me.”
Lavawin scratched his smooth forehead as if he was embarrassed.
“I haven’t seen you for a while. Where have you been?”
Rabawin and the pirates stayed in Sieghart to take care of Alice, but disappeared after she woke up. I wondered what they were doing because they suddenly disappeared.
“As you know, Lord Raon, there are ports and cities protected by our name. I have inspected them under the orders of Lady Aris.”
Rabawin nodded after hearing Alice’s order and said that he had come to see the port and city they were protecting. However, his expression did not look very good.
“Would you like to talk for a bit after a long time?”
Raon said that they should go together and pointed to the annex in the distance. The house where Alice was temporarily staying was next to Federick’s mansion, so it wasn’t too far from the annex.
“Okay, I understand.”
Lavawin nodded as if he could not refuse and followed him.
“Then you returned to Sieghart to report to Lady Alice.”
As Raon walked ahead, he only turned his eyes to Rabawin.
“Yes. For reporting purposes…”
Lavawin’s lips trembled slightly when he said the word report. It was clear that there was something there.
“As far as I know, my aunt won’t be coming down for a while.”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked in the direction of the main building. Aris and Karun were so focused on their training that they didn’t even respond to Glenn’s call a while ago. They’ll probably be out for another month or two.
“Oh, I see.”
Lavawin bit his lip slightly, as if he didn’t know that much.
“Let’s go in first and have some tea….”
It was when Raon opened the door to the annex with Lavawin.
“Helen! I told you not to mix your laundry with mine! Wash them separately!”
Sia’s cold voice burst out from upstairs.
“No, Dad, you’re not that dirty! You just shower once a day!”
Edgar clasped his hands together to Sia, saying that it was unfair.
“You have to do it twice! Morning and evening!”
Sia shook her head fiercely, saying she still didn’t like it.
“go!”
She snatched the laundry from Edgar’s hands as if she was snatching it away, then slammed the door shut.
“Siyaaaaaaa!”
Edgar knelt on the floor and cried out his daughter’s name sadly, as if he had lost a lover.
“I, I… .”
Rabawin’s eyes fluttered open, at a loss at the unexpected sight.
“It’s almost finished. Don’t worry.”
Raon said it was nothing and took Lavawin into the living room.
“I brought the tea.”
As if he had been waiting for her, Judiel immediately brought the car and placed it in front of him and Lavawin.
“thank you.”
“no.”
She bowed her head slightly and left the living room without a sound.
“Now, tell me.”
Raon looked at Lavawin with his hands clasped in front of the steaming car.
“What happened during your mission?”
“Ugh… .”
Lavawin let out a long sigh and raised his head.
“As expected, I can’t hide anything from Raon.”
He let out a low groan as he looked into the teacup that was shaking like waves.
“I told you earlier that there are towns and ports that I protect under the name of Pirate King, right?”
Lavawin chewed his lip, balling his blackened hands into fists.
“Two of those villages were destroyed, leaving not a single person behind….”
