The reason Dwener knew the truth about that day. It was because Zero had given him a hint. ‘Keke, did you know? Sometimes fairy tales are created to hide a cruel reality.’ ‘Hmm? What do you mean by that?’ ‘Go pay Grandma Peggy a visit. You’ll hear an interesting story from her.’ Zero had only…

“May I come in now?” Caron poked his rough-looking face through the slightly opened door. Dwener shot him a look that clearly said, “Do you really think so?”, but Caron casually ignored it and walked inside. “What were you thinking about?” “I was thinking about a strange bastard. A truly vicious one who makes people’s…

“Hmm… so this is an Annwood Academy recommendation letter.” “Too bad. If we were old enough, we’d be the ones getting it.” “I-it looks expensive!” The kids huddled together, crowding around to stare at Dolores’s recommendation letter. The Trash Sprout Defense Squad’s second-in-command, Whale, whispered to Adel. “Boss, how about recruiting Dolores too? If we’ve…

“Is that really true?” Luna asked, her face brightening, and Caron answered with a simple nod. “That’s strange.” “What’s strange?” “Everything about this is strange. Buying up a dying village is one thing, but the Academy doesn’t gain anything from it. If they still went through with it… doesn’t that mean there’s some shady motive…

The strange thing was that iron-barred cages were loaded on top of the wagons. “Look over there.” “I told you, I knew from the first time I saw them. They gave off a bad vibe.” “Tsk, tsk. And they call themselves…

“Then shall we consider the Trash Village matter wrapped up with this?” “That sounds fine.” “Then we’ll move on to the next agenda item.” The conference hall of the imperial palace. Countless crystal orbs lit up the chamber. A council of nobles that had been convened since early morning. Yet no one complained, because the…

Looks like I woke you.” Lowell smiled awkwardly, and Rodelin quietly checked what state she was in. A travel cloak, a small pack, and her longsword….

“Hmm…” “Eek?” “Hmmm-m-m-m!” “…?” “So cute!” Lowell stared fixedly at Rezé. Then, all of a sudden, she scooped Rezé up into a tight hug. Rezé struggled, but it was no use. She was a 6-star knight, after all. There was no way Rezé’s scrawny strength could break free. ‘She’s only calling her cute because she’s…

“Daike, good work today.” “You worked hard as well, Sir Teron.” Teron and Daike looked at each other and smiled. After running around nonstop for days, they had finally finished all preparations to harvest the highest-grade magic stones. Caron had praised them and even given them two merit points as a reward. On top of…

You have received a ‘Fragment of a Holy Relic’ as an additional reward!] ‘A fragment of a holy relic? Why is that dropping here?’ I couldn’t help but be shocked. A fragment of a holy…
