Rudger imdiately returned to the hideout.
Lightly brushing off the rainwater from his umbrella, Rudger went up to the second floor where his master was waiting. He was thinking of asking for advice on the sealing technique.
But the atmosphere.
Unlike usual, the atmosphere of the hideout was heavy. It was not until he arrived at the office on the second floor that Rudger knew why.
Are you here?
Grander sat buried on the sofa.
She looked comfortable as if it was her own house but the others werent.
Brother.
Hans called Rudger in a trembling voice, while Alex and Pantos, on the other hand, kept their eyes on Grander while in a tense state
The two instinctively felt how dangerous Grander was despite her soft appearance.
Even now, their skin had so many goosebumps that they could be mistaken for hives.
Rudger sighed at the uncomfortable air that filled the room.
Teacher, what are you doing?
What do you an?
Youre playing too much.
When Rudger rebuked, Grander pouted her lips.
So arrogant disciple left his sky-like teacher and went sowhere. Its boring to wait alone, so I played a little prank for a while.
The tension in the room was nothing more than a prank she deliberately created. Just a simple step to figure out what level of Rudger subordinates before he cos.
However, it must have been so heavy that it was hard for the victims to breathe. Especially for soone with a keen sense, such as Pantos, Alex, and Hans, who has a sense of beast, the ti before Rudger ca seed too long.
Teacher, lets stop here. Isnt everyone having a hard ti?
Oh, yes. All right, all right. Youre saying your n are more precious than this teacher?
Grander deliberately gathered her montum as if Rudger had to listen.
Alex, who was barely relaxed, wiped off his cold sweat and Pantos beca silent.
The author is his teacher as the leader said.
Rudger spoke to them.
Everyone leave. I need to have a separate conversation with my teacher.
Rudger, who confird that all the mbers had gone outside, closed the door and sat on the sofa opposite Grander.
Thats great, student. Where did you get all those guys?
Grander expressed her honest feelings, recalling Rudgers n who went out.
As I wandered around the world, I t them by chance.
Ha ha. Youre too modest.
Its true.
Of course, it is true that Rudger recognized their talents and asked them to join him but he didnt look for them on purpose.
The brown-skinned man was quite proficient in swordsmanship for a human being and the giant guy is a pretty interesting one. He looked nervous, but he still had fighting spirit even after he saw .
I see.
He was fully convinced that Pantos did that.
Even when he first t Rudger, Pantos ca to visit him at the exact mont when his teacher, Grander, was away.
If only Pantos had faced master at that ti.
He thought maybe Pantos would not be here. Perhaps even Pantos himself knew he would not stand a chance against Grander. Still, he would have tried because that was the reason he lived.
And most interesting of all was the man who rolled his eyes the hardest.
You an Hans?
Yes. He was a really strange guy. Being a human being and an animal, but yet not an animal. Inside him, there was a strange one that even I admired.
Grander saw through Hans constitution at once. It didnt just stop there, but she even noticed the existence of the Beast of Gvaudan sleeping inside Hans.
Where did you get that guy from? Was it in a box on a rainy day?
You talk as if Ive picked up an abandoned dog on the street.
A dog? If I have to say it, its a similar kind but its not bad to use as a pet.
Rudger was happy that Hans was not here now. If he had, hed have been hurt.
I encountered Hans in the Durman Kingdom while teacher was sleeping.
Rudger explained how he t Hans five years ago. His unique constitution and the Beast of Gvaudan hunted in the Dorman Kingdom.
The Beast of Gvaudan? It has a pretty grand na for a cryptid.
It was strong in its own way and I only managed to knock it down after using real magic.
Well, he must have been a very good dog.
The cryptid that ate a knight and drove a city in despair was treated like a dog by Grander.
The Beast of Gvaudan was a monster that left its na in history and a part of his remains was even kept in a museum but anyone who knew Grander would have been rather surprised that she had said this.
For regular people dog is just a word but coming from Grander it was a great complint.
So what are you going to do with all these little guys?
Grander asked Rudger, bending her eyes like a crescent moon.
There must be a good reason to get out of this teachers arms and wander around the world.
I just realized what I had to do.
What?
Yes. It was sothing I had been thinking about even before I t teacher.
Cant you tell this teacher what it is?
That is
Rudger tried to speak but shook his head at once.
Im sorry.
what a surprise. I didnt expect you to hide sothing from .
Are you angry?
Im not angry.
She said so, but her expression made it clear that she was sulking. She said no, but Rudger, who knew her for a long ti, could tell.
Im sorry, teacher. If I have a chance soday, Ill tell you then. However, please excuse for keeping it a secret for now.
a dull fellow. If youre so serious, I wont ask but since you wanted to et you subordinates you must want sothing from , right?
Yes. I need a little help to fix the seal.
The seal?
Rudger explained that he had just t with the diocese of the Lunsis order and if that continued the order might track him down.
I wonder. Was the power flowing out to the point where they noticed?
From what she said, they seed to have noticed the existence of teacher.
Grander grinned at the remark and her white fangs stood out.
Ill tell them to co as much as they want. I guess they still think Im scared and avoid them.
If the teacher cos forward himself, it will be difficult to finish in moderation. Be careful.
Hmph. They werent even interesting anyway. Is that why I just have to make the sealing technique a little stronger?
Yes, I have thought of that for now.
Rudger took out the research paper he had prepared and handed it to Grander and Grander opened her eyes wide looking at it.
youve already thought it through.
Yes. However, there is no problem in theory, but there are so parts that are difficult to implent, so I wanted to ask for your advice.
What advice? Youve already done it yourself.
Grander grumbled at the data Rudger handed over.
Well, itll be over if I invest a little bit of ti. Its not that difficult because we just have to reinforce what was already there anyway.
Im glad to hear that.
But youll have to be careful. No matter how much you strengthen the seal, if you continue to use that power, you will eventually reach your limit at so point.
I know that.
No. You dont know. If you face the limit, it wont just end up as your own problem.
Granders red eyes stared at Rudger as if piercing him.
Dont forget the promise you made with ever since I got you out of that hole that day. The contract weve made while I taught you.
Yes, I always have it in my heart.
You always talk well.
Grander, who cleaned up the docunts properly, stared at Rudger with a subtle gaze to see if he suddenly rembered anything.
More than that, youre my disciple.
Yes, teacher.
Im saying that youre the only one who knows the magic that Ive seen while fighting with .
Rudger had a strange anxiety when she spoke about that and replied while trying hard to suppress his emotions.
Yes, please speak.
I think that magic was different from ordinary magic no matter how much I looked at it. Like a dedicated magic created to deal with beings like rather than ordinary enemies. Am I right?
.
As Rudger remained silent, Grander grinned, bringing her index finger to her chin.
I wonder if my disciple made such a magic in case this teacher cos and makes a fuss.
.
Ha ha! Youre not going to do that! How would my disciple dare to make magic to deal with his teacher? You cant do such a thing without losing your mind!
A cold sweat ran down Rudgers back and in the end he got up from his seat in a hurry.
Oh, my student. Where are you going like that?
I rembered sothing urgent for a mont.
Sothing urgent? Where else is there more urgent than talking to your teacher whom you havent seen in a while?
Ill be back soon. Well, Im off now.
Rudger ran away in a hurry while thinking that if he gets caught this ti he might really die.

The next morning the teachers were gathered in Theon conference room after a long ti and wondered why the president called them.
Good morning Selina.
Good morning teacher rylda.
Did you have a good ti yesterday?
Selina blushed and hesitated to answer when rylda asked with one eye closed.
rylda smiled softly and tapped Selina with her arms.
Whats that reaction? There must have been sothing.
What about teacher rylda? You left in a hurry yesterday. Did you go ho right away?
Selina was embarrassed for nothing and changed the subject and rylda, who was asked, answered as if she had been waiting.
Oh, my. I wasnt going to say this.
What? Did sothing really happen?
She just ant to change the subject, but she didnt know it was real.
You know, Selina. I feel like I t my destined person.
Destined person?
As Selina looked curious, rylda told her what happened yesterday and about her eting with the exotic handso man nad Alex on Royal Street.
In the end, he showed the wrong way, but later he confessed honestly. He wanted to be with because I was so beautiful.
Uh
If it were the usual Selina, she would have responded with joy, but this ti she couldnt because she didnt think rylda would fall in love so easily. Was it because of the cheesy words?
No way.
rylda is famous for being a master of love, so how would she fall for such a trivial thing?
Selina believed in rylda, so she decided to think she had a plausible plan. Then the door of the conference hall opened and Elisa, the president, entered.
Have you all been well? Its been a long ti since the werewolf incident that day.
Elisa, who started off lightly with a greeting, lightly looked at the teachers who looked at her with a questionable gaze.
Most of them were questionable reactions, but there were also hostile reactions, typically from Hugo and other mbers of his factions.
Elisa imdiately brought up the subject.
Im sure everyone is curious. Why did I suddenly call everyone like this?
Did sothing happen again?
Chris Benimore asked.
So teachers looked anxious because many things happened both internally and externally recently.
Elisa said, Its not like that, so dont worry, ending the anxiety of the crowd.
Ill get right to the point. Im sure everyone knows that there are still vacancies in Theon.
The conference hall quickly beca quiet because everyone knew what the president was going to talk about.
And these empty seats must be filled.
Planning Office
Hugo frowned at soones murmur.
If we leave the position vacant for too long, it will eventually disrupt Theons work. So now that I have a chance after a long ti, I would like to recomnd a suitable person.
Elisas words rattled the teachers. In particular, the response of aristocratic teachers, including Hugo, was the most intense, and they seed to be unable to believe what the president said.
Who do you recomnd? I know there is no suitable talent yet.
Hugo asked in a retort as his eyes toward the president were full of doubts.
What is the president up to this ti?
Elisa smiled softly at Hugo.
Why not? We recently got one.
What? What are you talking about.?
Please co in.
At that mont, the door of the conference hall opened and one person ca inside.
Everyone shut up as the sound of shoes touching the floor rang loudly inside the conference room.
The teachers eyes naturally turned to that person. A sculpture-like handso man dressed much neater than usual.
Anyone with an eye can see that the outfit he is wearing is from House of Verdis.
His steps were more disciplined and upright than soldiers and as he walked, his black long hair tied back clattered.
Soon the man stood next to Elisa Willow and turned toward the crowd.
Nice to et you.
Hugo opened his eyes wide.
Im a candidate for the Planning Director position, my na is Rudger Chelici.
