Episode 41
* * *
At the same time, Morgan was walking through the corridor of the Education Hall.
This young boy suddenly felt a chilling sensation, as if cold water had been poured over him.
It was thanks to Karhen’s brainwashing becoming slightly weaker over time.
‘Why did I submit to Airi?!’
Even though that child’s punches were incredibly strong!
It was truly, truly incomprehensible.
And so this child came walking with heavy breathing, returning to his true nature.
Just then, he heard news that Serafin, the intense dark presence he had always respected, had returned.
‘I should warn him. That child Airi is extremely dangerous!’
After several failed attempts, Morgan was finally able to meet with ‘him.’
“What is it? Morgan. It’s been a while.”
“Lord Serafin!”
Morgan’s eyes reddened at the sight of Lord Serafin’s robust appearance after a year.
“Have you been well?”
“Me? Well. What’s the matter?”
Morgan lowered his voice and asked Serafin.
“By any chance, have you met Princess Airi Ortejo?”
“…How, how do you know that.”
When Serafin flinched, Morgan whispered.
“You must be careful. She’s extremely powerful! I sparred with her once, and since that day, my heart keeps pounding. Constantly!”
“Ha, really. Morgan. Your heart is pounding? Are you sick?”
“It seems like it… And she was so polite that while talking with her, I kept feeling like I was becoming a gentleman.”
Taking in the warning from Morgan, who had a dejected expression, Serafin clenched his fist.
“How dare she be polite in our Northern Region, and even make people become gentlemen.”
“Yes! Exactly! So these days, I can’t even straighten my shoulders properly…”
Listening to Morgan’s grumbling, Serafin’s spine somehow felt chilled.
‘Su, surely this isn’t my future, is it?’
Airi’s sparkling purple eyes kept coming to mind, making his spine tingle.
“Th, th, the weak naturally crumble quickly. I’m strong, so it’ll be different.”
Serafin looked at Morgan, who was merely his weak subordinate, and spoke confidently.
“Ri, right. You’re different from me!”
“Then, I’ll try teaching that brat a lesson.”
Serafin thought to himself.
The deep darkness within his heart.
That it would finally hatch.
But just then.
From afar, the sound of Airi’s footsteps could be heard approaching.
As soon as he heard that sound, Morgan prostrated himself flat as if he’d seen a ghost and shouted.
“No way. My mind! I feel like I’ll have to obey again! Th, then I’ll take my leave now!”
Watching Morgan flee, Serafin shook his head inwardly.
What a weak fellow.
‘But I’ll never fall for it!’
Serafin’s eyes gleamed wickedly.
He intended to teach Airi a lesson when she returned.
But here, there was a problem.
The fact was that Airi had brought skilled instructors with her.
She had brought along a child who appeared to be about seven years old.
Here, she had even brought children who appeared to be about ten years old in a line like candy.
Moreover, those kids weren’t human.
They had pointed ears, or unusually long eyes, or gems embedded in their foreheads.
They were kids with distinctive appearances.
Their movements as they bowed toward Serafin had precision.
Others might not know, but Serafin, the leader of the Academy, could tell at a glance.
Those kids might be incomparably stronger than ordinary ability users.
‘So, I’m doing mental education together with those kids?’
What exactly are we going to do?
Suddenly, curiosity arose.
* * *
Meanwhile, Airi had brought friends for Serafin’s mental education.
Namely, Karhen and the hybrid creature friends who had grown magnificently while mingling with other children at the Education Hall!
She intended to give these friends mental, no, character education as well.
“Skilled instructors, friends, nice to meet you.”
These friends were specialized in the same mental education as Serafin!
“Yes, XX.”
When Airi opened her eyes slyly like a flounder, Lireed covered his own mouth and said.
“…No, I mean, yes? What is it?”
“Our friends have also learned a lot and become smart. Our friends studied hard. Right?”
“Yes.”
“Then now we’ll do mental cultivation that clears the mind! And makes the body healthy!”
“Wh, what exactly are you planning to do!”
Hearing Serafin’s outcry, Airi spoke solemnly.
“Everyone, please watch from the side while I demonstrate. Serafin, look this way.”
Serafin gulped.
“Then, I’ll now demonstrate martial arts that cultivate the mind. Everyone focus!”
At that moment, Airi made a loud sound.
“Haaaaaap!”
An tremendous battle cry!
Unlike commoner-born fighters, noble-born martial artists learned body strengthening techniques separately.
The condition of those body strengthening techniques was ‘moving quietly.’
But the current Airi was different.
She was moving her body as if dancing while letting out vigorous battle cries.
But even so, her body movements looked as free as a mermaid’s.
‘Besides, those are movements I don’t know! It’s like martial arts that don’t exist in this world!’
“Yo, you, wh, what are you doing! It’s a method I’ve never seen before!”
“It’s poomsae. The instructor said that doing this poomsae gives you a feeling of mental cultivation.”
“Wh, why does doing martial arts cultivate you mentally? Isn’t it about beating everyone up?”
“By moving each motion one by one!”
“By, by doing that?”
“You come to respect your training friends! That’s the first step of mental education!”
What is this? Is she speaking a foreign language?
When the confused Serafin, who couldn’t understand anything, looked at Airi.
Airi tilted her head and stared at him.
“Why? Is something wrong?”
“N, n, nothing!”
He had never heard of something called ‘poomsae’ in his life.
‘Could it be that brat knows martial arts I don’t know?’
Serafin hurriedly rubbed his eyes.
His dream was to be a martial artist who uses the body.
There was no way there could be martial arts he didn’t know, yet that kid seemed to know a new way of martial arts.
“Are you curious? If you become a colleague who gets along well with me, I’ll teach you.”
Serafin seriously conflicted.
He had come to teach Airi a lesson.
He had planned to find out what ‘mental education’ was and punish that wicked kid who dared turn him, a night owl, into a morning person!
‘Damn it, I can’t punish her!’
A thrill ran through his entire body.
This, this…
‘Damn it, I’m too curious!’
Serafin barely suppressed his conflicted feelings and asked.
“…So, so, so how do you do it?”
“Then I’ll teach you the forms now. But one movement, and we’re friends. Two, and it’s respect!”
“…No! I won’t do that!”
“Then I won’t teach you.”
At that moment, Serafin’s fist cut through the air.
“Friend!”
His spirited movement was incredibly fast, like the wind. Even he was surprised.
“Huh, what? Is, is mental education actually working?”
“That’s right. It’s because you properly armed your mind.”
“…What?”
“Especially Serafin has done many very good things. Today you woke up in the morning and ate your meals properly. That’s why your body became more agile! Swoosh! Like that!”
Does that even make sense?
Flustered Serafin’s movements became sluggish.
Then, to prevent him from thinking any further, Airi imitated the instructor and spoke solemnly.
“Two!”
“Respect!”
Serafin’s body was moving faster and lighter than before.
‘This is strange, really strange!’
He kept getting swept along by this child!
Airi also spoke to the ‘Skilled Instructors’ around them.
“We’re all doing it together!”
Because these friends needed to be raised well too, just like Serafin.
“Now, begin!”
And so the training began.
Serafin was enthusiastic.
Until all the hybrid monsters who had been with Airi left to do their own tasks.
Serafin and Airi practiced forms with ‘mental education’ the entire time in that spot.
After several hours had passed.
Unlike Serafin who was frowning deeply, Airi smiled with satisfaction.
‘Good, this time was a success too!’
The demonic energy that this small boy possessed transformed into a mist-like form.
Then it was gradually absorbed into the purification ring that Airi possessed.
But right at that moment.
Airi felt something catch in the ring with a click and frowned.
‘Huh? Why isn’t it all being absorbed?’
Mist still remained in Serafin’s body. No matter how much she tried to absorb it, no more would be absorbed!
‘Gasp, what is this?’
This was the first time this had happened.
Beep beep.
A red siren rang out in her head.
