### Chapter 371
In a deep slumber with Bianca.
Kraush was dreaming.
It was a mory from quite so ti ago.
Back when the Sky Generation was making its mark.
Sohow, Kraush found himself in a room alone with Aria.
At that mont, everyone else had been montarily called away, leaving only Aria and Kraush alone to prepare for tomorrow.
Without exchanging words, they remained in silence.
They had never been the chatty type to begin with.
So, it was only natural.
“Kraush.”
Just then, it was Aria who broke the silence.
Upon looking at him, Aria quietly glanced at his own hand and asked,
“What do you think of the Sky Generation?”
Taken aback by the sudden question, Kraush looked at Aria.
As usual, Aria stared back blankly.
“They’re a bunch of idiots.”
Kraush scoffed as if asking what kind of question that was.
In Kraush’s eyes, the Sky Generation were just fools who couldn’t even band together.
Each of them had such high capabilities that they only knew how to boast their own egos and had no idea of cooperation.
Thus, Kraush had always viewed the Sky Generation unfavorably.
“Bunch of idiots.”
Aria pondered over Kraush’s words and then slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
“That’s definitely true.”
Aria didn’t hold the Sky Generation in high regard either.
They were powerful, but too many constraints prevented them from uniting.
“But how they soar can change at any ti.”
Kraush took that as Aria’s hopes for the Sky Generation.
But thinking about it now, it might have ant that things could change depending on the direction of their reincarnation.
How would the current Sky Generation appear in Aria’s eyes?
Were they soaring high and majestically now?
Kraush couldn’t bring himself to ask that question.
Because the Aria back then had been erased from this world by his own hand.
‘Aria Gramalte.’
What kind of view did you have of the world?
Kraush slowly opened his eyes along with his aimless questions.
The warm midday air brushed against his nose.
Feeling the stiffness in his body, it seed he had slept through the day.
Searching beside him, Kraush noticed Bianca was gone.
Even Bianca wouldn’t stick around for a full day of sleeping by his side.
Taking advantage of his deep slumber, she probably went off to do her own thing.
She must have thought it better than waking him up for no reason.
Kraush let his hand drop as he stared quietly at the ceiling.
At least back then, Aria wouldn’t have expected the ergence of Ixion and the activation of the Supre Seed to co so soon.
This crisis erupted before the Sky Generation, who were ant to face them head-on, had even matured.
While Kraush actively interfered with Ixion during his reincarnation, it was even more due to Abella’s cooperation with Ixion.
Abella actively assisted Ixion in creating the God of World Erosion, helping steer him along.
As a result, Ixion had managed to race towards completing the God of World Erosion like never before.
‘Ixion’s remnants are still around.’
The magic spirit Abella had carried on for centuries wouldn’t just give up easily.
She surely had sothing in mind.
Kraush stretched and yawned.
After catching a breath, he felt notably refreshed.
Grrr—
At that mont, his hungry stomach began to rumble.
Having slept all day, it was ti to replenish his nutrients.
Kraush opened the door.
Icarus’s temporary base had a dining area prepared.
Just as Kraush stepped out of the second floor, his mind set on food, he spotted an unexpected scene.
“Bianca is making it too sweet, isn’t she? Why does she keep trying to sweeten things up?”
“…Because Kraush eats well.”
“But I don’t think I ever liked sweets that much? I’ve hardly ever seen you munching on snacks.”
“You always ate snacks with .”
“…Why are you getting cocky over that?”
Inside the dining area, two cooks caught Kraush’s eye.
One was Karandis, and the other was Bianca.
Before them were a corpse rat and a crow.
It seed Bianca had fed them, as both were munching on their dishes.
anwhile, Haring was busy concocting sothing.
Looking at the ingredients laid out in front of her, she seed to be brewing so kind of stamina recovery potion.
“Leave this out for now. This suits his constitution better.”
“Okay.”
Helping her was Astraea.
Having healed Kraush the most, she knew his constitution well enough to provide helpful advice.
On the other side of the dining area, Aslan was sipping on tea.
Having recently been researching new fire magic—his hands were bandaged, but he seed unconcerned.
Next to him, Lirina gazed quietly at Bianca and Karandis, prompting Aslan to chuckle.
“Why not go help out?”
“No. It feels more aningful for the two of them to do it.”
Known for her singing talent, Lirina chose not to step in this ti.
Clank—
Just then, the outer door swung open.
In walked a girl with sea-blue hair.
With her confident strides, three others followed in her wake.
The renowned Hero of Commoners, Felray, and the recently recognized Glen Diana.
And lastly, one person who cast a subtle aura on Kraush’s face.
The one who still seed withdrawn was Mary Diana, after all.
Of course, they weren’t the only ones.
Forr mbers of the White Ghost who had graduated a year ago appeared behind Sizelry as well.
“Hmm, with so many alumni gathering like this, it’s quite lively.”
Sizelry remarked, placing her hands on her hips.
“But any help, no matter how small, is still help. Gathering like this can’t hurt, right?”
“Are we really being treated like so pawns here?”
Arsoldar, who had followed Sizelry, laughed gruffly.
“If we ended up rolling down while trying to hold off the Giant’s Forest, we’d be worse than a pawn.”
Beside him, the forrly neat freak, Molgrid Panrea, shot a retort, causing Arsoldar to scoff.
“Molgrid, you ca here whining after failing to protect the Kingdom of Jeblam.”
“Who was whining?!”
The two continued to bicker, clearly still not on good terms.
“Still at each other’s throats, huh? Sizelry, wouldn’t it be better to ditch these two and keep instead?”
Heisen Handrickson, known for his interest in ladies, grinned.
“How would you handle that, Heisen, if you told Sizelry that? For the future, consider that Sizelry is the fiancée of the Sea King.”
“Scary.”
The forr White Ghost secretary, iri, shook her head as she looked at the three.
Aside from them was Yul Topaz, still blindfolded, and the Demon Lord, along with his son Bakram Arios.
The forr mbers of the White Ghost had all but gathered.
‘Looks like Sizelry completely absorbed Sigrid’s connections.’
Sizelry had consud all the connections Sigrid had accumulated.
True to her nature, indeed.
“So where’s our gentleman? Everyone’s here except him.”
She glanced around, seemingly searching for soone.
Then, sensing the atmosphere, she let out a little puff.
“I see. It seems like it’s ti for him to collapse.”
She seed to understand everything.
At this point, it was awkward timing for him to show up.
“Uh, Kraush?”
Just as Kraush was absorbed in thought, he turned to the voice calling him.
There stood Alicia, Kraush’s personal maid.
Carrying a large pile of laundry, she was actively helping serve at Icarus.
In that mont, Bianca kept her ears attuned and looked up quickly.
When Kraush’s eyes t Bianca’s, she imdiately spoke.
“Kraush, co down and sit. I’ll prepare your al.”
Upon hearing Bianca, everyone turned to look.
Such focused attention put Kraush in an awkward spot.
[That girl is quicker than anyone else at responding when your na is called. Is she equipped with so sort of sensor?]
That was sothing he would have to check out another ti.
Kraush smiled wryly and waved a hand at all of them.
“I didn’t expect everyone to be gathered. Good to see you all. It’s been a while.”
Kraush greeted everyone.
“You, next ti you don’t check your health, I’ll make sure you do so forced resting.”
“Kraush, eat this.”
“Isn’t this body of my lord responsible for taking care of himself?”
As Kraush descended, everyone chid in, each saying their piece.
And strangely enough, that made Kraush feel warm and fuzzy inside.
That sight reminded him of the dreams he had just had.
How the Sky Generation had once only seen each other as rivals.
Seeing this, it was clear.
The Sky Generation had changed, just as Aria had said.
They were flying the skies on wings completely different from back then.
‘Maybe this isn’t so bad.’
It proved that the effort he put in at Rahern Academy wasn’t in vain.
And for the future, keeping this situation would be Kraush’s responsibility.
‘What a headache.’
Just when he thought he could finally take a break after overcoming a hurdle, it looked like relaxing wasn’t going to be easy.
“Let’s all eat.”
During lunchti.
After filling their stomachs, it was ti to move forward again with vigor.
Kraush began to dine with everyone.
But as the saying goes, good tis always seem short-lived.
[Kraush, we have a problem.]
Just as Kraush finished his al, Crimson Garden chid in.
[The Red Witch has appeared before the reincarnator.]
Abella had made her entrance.
