“Oh, yeah… … .”
Even Jim Unbreakable knew that he was ignorant. With a new realization, Reppenhardt clicked his tongue.
‘If you knew that I was a wizard, you would be shocked.’
Fortunately or unfortunately, Gerard was too busy fighting Vanatel to even see Reppenhardt use magic. Well, even if that were the case, I would eventually get caught. At that time, Reppenhardt was wondering what kind of excuse he should come up with.
Gerard looked at him and suddenly grinned.
“I was worried because he was small, but now he looks quite manly. Yes, there is no way our Mumun is that small.”
Repenhardt frowned as he looked at his master smiling with satisfaction.
After all, in the past few years, his height has surpassed 2 meters! It is currently about 2 meters and 5 centimeters taller. As my muscles grew bigger, my weight also increased, and I was slowly gaining close to 150 kilograms.
“Phew… … .”
“huh? “Why are you sighing?”
“yes? Oh no! “I’m sad that this is all I’ve grown up to.”
Gerrard tilted his head as he looked at Reppenhardt, who quickly said something else. Then I asked a question.
“Then why did you come? “They said they found me?”
Only then did Reppenhardt, who remembered the matter, put on a serious expression.
“I have something to ask Master.”
☆ ☆ ☆
The invasion of Sword Saint Vanatel and Auror users from other countries greatly alarmed Reppenhardt.
The Zeppelin Liberation Operation was not launched blindly and without any afterthought, as many people speculated. It was implemented after thoroughly considering the political situation of each country and judging that the current County of Antares could sufficiently handle it.
In fact, didn’t most countries on the continent follow Carol’s calculations? I knew that the Vastalon Empire and the Sayre Church would turn into enemies, but even so, I thought there would be nothing I could do about it right away given the situation on the continent.
But the world did not always go according to plan.
Obviously, the Vastalon Empire was unable to mobilize an army to wage war, but instead, they brought out a card that was almost like an army: Sword Master Vanatel and ten Auror users. In this case, Gerard is a powerful opponent who would have been defeated in one blow if it weren’t for the unexpected Joker.
After all, the existence of powerful power surpasses any plot or politics. Wasn’t Leffenhardt himself in his previous life such a being?
In order to prepare for the future, we need the power of Emperor Gerard, who is equally strong as the Sword Saint Vanatel. If Gerard has a strong deterrence ability, he will be able to buy enough time to regain the power of the 10th circle.
“… … So, I was wondering if Master could stay here and protect me at least until the Kingdom of Antares stabilizes.”
Gerard made a sad expression at Reppenhardt’s words.
“So, you want me to protect them?”
Then he looked around and raised one eye.
“What am I doing?”
Looking at his master with a puzzled expression, Repenhardt sighed inwardly.
I know that because of Jim Unbreakable’s nature, he is indifferent to whatever his students face. But he wasn’t asking me to protect him, and I didn’t know that he would be displeased with just asking me to protect his subordinates.
‘Still, since you care so much about your student, I thought you’d grant me this much of a favor.’
Leppenhardt calmed Gerrard while keeping his expression discreet.
“I know you’re busy looking for a new disciple, but… … Wouldn’t it be more helpful to continue Jim Unbreakable’s legacy by taking good care of existing disciples rather than finding new disciples?”
“No, so what does that have to do with this?”
Leffenhardt was taken aback.
Somehow the situation was different from what I expected. It wasn’t that Gerard was annoying or petty, but he looked like he didn’t even understand why he had to do that.
“Isn’t it a bit embarrassing to go down the mountain and look for Master again? “As a boy, you have to overcome everything on your own!”
“It’s not that kind of problem…” … .”
Even applause makes a sound only when opposite parties meet each other. Dealing with someone with a completely different way of thinking makes me feel paralyzed.
“Oh, so that’s… … .”
Carol shook her head as she looked at Reppenhardt, who was confused about what to say.
“Tsk tsk… … .”
Even though his master is Jim Unbreakable’s successor, does he still not know much about his own martial arts? Carol took a step forward and bowed politely.
“Hwang Kwon.”
“Oh, Chancellor Karl!”
Gerard smiled happily when Carol spoke. Still, he was proud of Carol, who was training her body to become a civil servant. Well, compared to Jim Unbreakable, he still has a body that looks like a normal person, but isn’t it still amazing that he can do it?
Carol continued speaking seriously.
“May I ask you to escort the White King’s Palace during your stay in Aranan Grad? “This is a request made in the name of the County of Antares, not King Reppenhardt.”
Reppenhardt blinked. That’s the same thing he asked for earlier, right?
At that time, Carol said one more thing.
“It is 100 gold coins per day for accommodation and meals.”
At 100 gold coins per day, it is 3,000 coins per month. It is truly an enormous amount. Gerard smiled and answered right away.
“good night!”
Listening to a disciple’s request is something a master cannot do. No matter how important it is to continue the relationship, continuing to care for a student who has already left the mountain is not helpful for the student’s future and is ‘unmanly overprotection’, like a mother wrapping her adult child in the width of her skirt. This is an impossible shame in Jim Unbreakable, which emphasizes manliness!
However, protecting the ‘weak’ at the request of a country is rather manly and wonderful. You can accept as much as you want!
Gerard gestured to Carol.
“Hurry and get the contract. How many months should the contract be? What is the down payment? “I need to give you 5,000 in advance, right?”
What can I say, in addition to emphasizing masculinity, he also thoroughly takes care of money issues, which are usually avoided by military men. However, this was the common sense of Unbreakable, which costs a lot of money to raise students.
“What kind of man is he if he works hard and doesn’t even get his share of it? What a brat. A man must always take care of his own food bowl! By the way, did you really make a lot of money? “I’m truly proud of this, hahaha!”
Gerard laughed heartily while patting Reppenhardt on the back. Repenhardt chuckled and laughed helplessly.
‘Sometimes it seems plausible, and sometimes it doesn’t seem to be… … .’
I also felt that there was still a long way to go before I could understand that Mumun.
Now then, where should I stay? If possible, get a room that is spacious and close to the square. That way, it will be easier to teach those orcs every time they make fun of them, right? Gerard looked around the imperial palace while muttering to himself.
Reppenhardt secretly looked at Carol and used improved message magic. With Gerard’s incredible hearing, it was obvious that he would hear everything no matter how much he whispered, so he used magic.
‘however… … Is our budget that much?’
3,000 gold coins per month was a large sum of money to sustain an army of 5,000 men for a month. In fact, that is the amount that Reppenhardt spent when he changed the course of the Crovence Civil War. Well, the inflation effect was significant at the time, but it was by no means a small amount.
Carol nodded calmly. Improved message magic is a two-way street, so Carol’s voice was also transmitted to Reppenhardt through magic.
‘We can take out that amount of budget. I heard from Sword Saint Vanatel that the monthly payment from the Vastalon Empire is 1,000 gold coins. The cost of hiring a superman like Emperor Gerard is not expensive at all.’

‘But isn’t 3,000 gold coins a month a large amount of money to sustain an army of 5,000 men?’
‘Yes, it’s only 5,000 soldiers. It’s really cheap, isn’t it?’
‘Oh, now that I think about it, I guess so.’
If you think about the new lake that was created in the place where Antares was, it is definitely not a loss-making business.
While I was waiting for a while, one of the attendants quickly came carrying a piece of parchment.
Carol wrote the contract on the spot with one stroke of his hand.
After Gerrard signed, he took his contract in his arms.
With this, Emperor Gerard officially became the bodyguard of the County of Antares, albeit temporarily.
“Okay, I guess I’ll take this opportunity to look for people other than humans who might be useful. In all my time traveling around the continent, I have never paid attention to other races. “This is a truly unique opportunity.”
As he left the corridor, Gerard looked around. Reppenhardt bowed his head towards his master who was walking away.
“Then please take care of me. “Master.”
“Oh, don’t worry! “Once I take charge, I take full responsibility!”
Gerard waved his hand and disappeared down the corridor. Stretching his back, Leffenhardt made up his mind.
‘I have to quickly go find the relics of the four directions. If we keep hiring that guy, the country’s finances will be ruined!’
This was the first time since I returned that I missed the power of my previous life this much.
For the sake of frugality, we must quickly regain the power of the 10th circle!

It has been almost a month since Antares moved to Aranan Grad.
Slowly, Gairak of the White King’s Palace was regaining stability. After completing all the incomplete documents, Karl’s administrative duties were back on track, and the women of the Inner Palace, including Tila, also adapted to the new life in the royal palace.
The internal construction of Baekwanggung Gairak was also urgent, so the accommodations were built first, so there was no longer a need to live in tents. Although there are still unfinished parts here and there, the basic functions of a royal palace have been achieved.
And finally Russ and Tashid got up from their hospital beds.
“Here we go! older brother!”
There was a huge performance stage set up on the west side of the White King’s Palace, where Reppenhardt and Russ were glaring at each other with their Aurors raised. Next to him, Tashid was holding a yam sword and a dakar, watching the battle between the two closely.
Although it was late summer, the weather was quite cool, perhaps because it was the rainy season. A hazy gray cloud slowly drifted over the heads of the two people.
Repenhardt responded by snapping his fingers.
“Okay, I’m ready! Come on!”
Russ and Tashid, who had finally recovered after lying down for several days, first relieved their itchy bodies.
This is Carol, who has already painfully experienced the ‘riot’ of Auror users on the White King. So, this ‘Auror user-only training center’ set up in Gairach was a place where their power was accurately calculated and all kinds of magic barriers and artifacts were used to absorb shock. Thanks to this, there was no need to be mistreated by Tila even if I ran wild here.
Well, Carol got a little scratched instead.
-There’s still a lot left to clear! I hate Kar!
To be honest, it was an inevitable choice for Carol. What if you empty all of the Auror users just to clear the land, and then an enemy attacks at that time? If possible, Auror users should be stationed in Aranan Grad to prepare for the raid.
“Banwol Cham! “Janwol!”
Russ cut long horizontally and sprayed Blade Aura. A half-moon shaped auror slash is sprayed out, staying in the air and occupying all sides of Reppenhardt.
Russ completed the technique by lowering his blue blade aura.
“Awesome moonlight!”
The unique Auror skill of Lord Cameroon, an Auror user in the Kingdom of Halein, Awesome Moonlight was perfectly reproduced in his hands. A blue flash hit Reppenhardt directly. He brought his arms together in a defensive stance.
“Spiral guard!”
Kwakwakwak!
There was a loud noise and dust rose. Even with the spiral guard deployed, Reppenhardt’s large body was pushed back more than 10 meters.
After a while, Reppenhardt shook his arms and looked satisfied.
“This is stronger than the Gigantic Blade? “You made it all yours, Russ.”
“Still, I can’t get through your spiral guard. “There is still a long way to go.”
Despite his humility, Russ had a smile on his face.
As soon as he felt better, Russ rushed to the training area with Tashid, eager to master his newly ‘stolen’ skills.
How many Auror skills were saved from this incident?
Sword Saint Vanatel’s Auror skill is there, but even if you exclude Mana, you have acquired as many as ten new Auror skills. He was busy copying copies, converting them to his own style, and teaching them to Tashid. If the original owner saw it, he would hit the ground and wail.
And, in addition to newly acquired skills, Russ did not neglect to deepen his existing skills.
“Then, brother, please be careful this time. “This is an unavoidable attack.”
“I’m preparing. try.”
“I’m going for your left thigh!”
After informing us of the attack location in advance, Russ took a stance with his sword in hand. And then he made a long horizontal slash from the spot.
“Sword in the air, Horizon!”
