Book 2: Chapter 204: Young Master Silver Shield, return of the legend (1)
This Academy, which was qualified to use the Kingdom’s name in its title, held a history as long as the kingdom itself. It also produced an endless number of outstanding individuals.
It had numerous fields of studies including administration, strategy, and sports.
This Academy that had an extensive academic curriculum and a large number of experts on the faculty was the Chancellor’s pride and joy.
Chancellor Aefric looked at the portraits of the past Chancellors before clenching his eyes shut.
He finally opened his mouth.“Come in.”
Click, the door opened and an old man with white hair and an outstanding physique walked inside. He then immediately headed toward the Chancellor.
“…….”
He quietly stood there and observed the Chancellor.
The Chancellor sighed after seeing that gaze.
“…The Faculty for Military Science will do it.”
The old man scowled. He then stared at the Chancellor.
Continuously… Without saying anything.
The Chancellor ended up being pressured by him in the end. He subconsciously shouted at the person.
‘What can I do?! Lily Henituse has decided to transfer into the Department of Military Science!”
“…….”
“I can’t send someone who wants to learn Military Science into the Department of Knights Education.”
“…….”
“Please! Just give it up!”
“…….”
“Come on!”
The Chancellor’s face turned red and the old man sighed before starting to speak.
“I heard that the Dean of Military Science has requested that esteemed person to give a speech during the opening ceremony.”
Flinch.
Dean Aefric subconsciously looked at the old man and saw his burning gaze.
Gulp.
As the Chancellor subconsciously gulped…
“That speech, the Knights Education Faculty will have to listen to it as well.”
It was not a request, just giving him notice.
“Wait, I don’t know if that will even happen-”
“I heard that that esteemed person’s sworn brother, his highness, has helped to make it happen.”
“Wait, where did you hear that- ah.”
The Chancellor saw someone through the open door.
A woman with half white hair and a long robe walked in looking extremely stubborn.
“The Magic Education Faculty will need to listen as well.”
This was a notice as well.
“Groan.”
The Chancellor scowled.
The Dean of Magic Education didn’t care and continued to speak.
“Cale Henituse. The greatest hero of the entire continent born and raised in the Roan Kingdom. That esteemed sir’s speech will be extremely beneficial to the growth of the students. That is why the Department of Magic Education will be present as well.”
“And the Department of Knights Education.”
The Chancellor shouted at them.
“Oh come on, people! It’s not like we asked for this months ago! We made a sudden speech request! How can we increase the size of the crowd as we please?”
“We have to do at least that.”
The Dean of Magic Education nonchalantly commented, making the Chancellor flinch.
“The number of students continues to dwindle and the value of our name continues to fall. We need to try anything and everything when such an opportunity like this falls into our lap.”
“Ugh.”
The Chancellor groaned again.
Honestly speaking, the Roan Academy has had its great years but it is not very highly regarded right now.
“B, but there are no other Academies with history as long as ours with such outstanding alumni!”
“You are talking about how the Academy had been at minimum twenty years ago.”
The old man from the Department of Knights Education commented and the Chancellor scowled.
His shoulders sank down.
The Dean of Magic Education patted the Chancellor’s shoulder.
“Please stop sulking and let’s use this opportunity to ride this vibe.”
The Chancellor and the Dean exchanged glances.
“Look here, it’s been a while since a hero has risen in Roan like this, right?”
“That’s right.”
“The great Young Master Silver Shield. He’s been quite reclusive these days, hasn’t he? The ‘excuse’ is that he has been recovering.”
“Yes.”
“People are saying that Cale Henituse is a living legend and that he will most definitely go down as a legend, correct?”
“Right?”
“Such a person is appearing in public for the first time since that intense battle last year. Don’t you think that is quite big? Furthermore, that first public appearance is at our Academy.”
“…It’ll be amazing.”
“That is correct. So let’s make it as big as possible.”
“Groan.”
The Chancellor nodded his head.
“Yes. Please try asking once more.”
“Chancellor-nim.”
The Dean of Knights Education, who had been silent, asked a question.
“Will you be sending him a letter?”
“Probably?”
“Please personally make the trip.”
“Huh?”
“We need to show at least that level of sincerity.”
“Uhh-”
‘I’m really busy right now?’
He didn’t know whether the speech would happen, but the fact that Cale Henituse’s visit was confirmed meant that he had not been sleeping properly in order to make sure that the Academy was ready for any kind of chaos that might happen.
But they wanted him to go to the Henituse territory at the far end of the Northeast region?
They wanted him, a feeble man whose body was not as energetic as the two people in front of him, to go?
Aefric.
The current Chancellor and former Prime Minister of the Roan Kingdom scowled.
The Dean of Knights Education didn’t care and continued to speak with a gruff look on his face.
“Please also ask Sir Choi Han to give a lecture.”
“Ah, we would like to request a lecture from the necromancer, Mary. It would be a wonderful class for the students to realize the differences between magic and the powers of a necromancer.”
“Furthermore, we want to invite the Dark Elf warriors as well. Are there no interested Dark Elves to enroll in the Academy?”
“We also heard that there is also a famous shaman by Young Master Silver Shield-nim’s side. It would be great if that person could give a lecture as well. Please make it happen.”
The knight and mage…
The Chancellor’s face scowled more as the two of them continued to speak.
“Get out!”
He shouted.
“You guys are so noisy! Get out!”
The two people left without saying anything and without any regrets.
The Chancellor scowled significantly once he was left alone.
“Where the hell did the rumors get out?”
The information that had been spread to those two people would soon spread throughout the entire Academy.
Once that happened, everybody would want to hear young Master Silver Shield’s speech.
Not only that, they would really want to hear the stories of his friends as well.
These were the people who had newly written themselves into the history of Roan.
Although the Roan Kingdom has a long history, it had been considered a minor kingdom.
Such a place was turning into the central figure in both the Eastern and Western continents combined in the past few years.
No other country dared to look down on the Roan Kingdom. In fact, they were all wary of the Roan Kingdom.
This was the way people acted toward the strong.
“…Our Academy needs to become like that as well.”
The Chancellor firmed his resolve.
He stood by the window and looked outside.
Cale Henituse.
He would definitely make him stand at the podium.
To lead the Roan Academy and more importantly the students who will carry on the Roan Kingdom’s future!
His gaze was burning with passion.
However, that soon subsided before he quietly mumbled.
“Hmm. I’m sure the Knights Education and Military Science would want young master Cale Henituse. If we drag everybody here-”
He then started to smile.
“Yes. The Department of Business, Department of Administration, and the Department of Political Science should be informed as well.”
This former Prime Minister Aefric had not managed to have any major achievements, but he had a different thought from the others when he looked at Cale Henituse.
As someone who still had contacts in the Royal Palace and heard more of the more detailed information-
“Sir Cale Henituse. He is not someone only skilled in war.”
Business, administration, politics… He had shown his amazing skills in all aspects.
“The Roan Kingdom will definitely develop into an Empire. For our Roan-”
He subconsciously made a comment.
“Cale Henituse-”
As someone skilled in both literary and martial arts-
“Is the perfect fit as Prime Minister.”
He subconsciously had a satisfied smile on his face.
While that was going on, the entire Roan Academy was getting riled up after learning about Cale Henituse’s upcoming visit. Quite a lot of students were already at the Academy for the upcoming opening ceremony.
“What? Young Master Silver Shield-nim is coming?”
“The Commander is coming?”
Quite a bit…
“My shield! Where is the silver shield I made?”
“Hey, hey, contact all of the kids who haven’t come back from home yet! Let them know the opening ceremony is a must-attend!”
“I’m going to contact my mom and dad as well! I’ll tell my whole family to show up!”
No.
“This is so exciting. I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep at all starting tonight.”
“Shield! Shield!”
“Holy shit, how long has it been since our Academy set up an amazing person who is not crazy to give the speech?”
Quite seriously…
“Will Sir Choi Han come as well? I want to have a black aura like Sir Choi Han. The darkness inside me will definitely create a black yong.”
“…Ah, I guess that guy is still immature. As for me…I’m going to go get a black robe. I may be a mage but I will also create a bone wyvern!”
“Shield! Shield!”
“Hey! Someone shut those fucking Knights Ed bastards up!”
“Shield! Shield!”
“The Military Science bastards too!”
The Academy was now rowdy.
No, it was running completely wild.
* * *
“What the…?”
Cale subconsciously rubbed the back of his head.
His spine felt very cold for some reason.
‘Did his highness do something again?
There’s no way.’
Cale frowned after feeling this unsettling feeling.
Ding!
However, those wrinkles soon relaxed.
< I’ve set the number of people to a max of 50. >
Cale smiled with satisfaction at the God of Death’s message.
“Black Castle, and a total of 50 people regardless of race. Other than that, there are no restrictions regarding items or other intangible things.”
He looked at the divine item and continued to speak.
“Can I take that as the minimum requirement to go to Aipotu?”
Ding.
< Yes. The God of Balance let it go without saying anything. >
Cale recalled how the God of Balance said that Cale and his friends would have to carry the burden of the imbalance if they broke the balance.
He suddenly became extremely upset.
Di… ng…
< Why... Why... Do you look like that?... I prepared everything you asked for......? >
He asked the wary God of Death.
“Is there something for me or my friends to handle?”
< Ah, are you asking because of the balance? >
< There isn\'t. >
< This is an unprecedented situation where the world itself is not responding. It would be fine to say that the balance has already been broken. It is only proper for the Divine World or other related worlds to handle the imbalance since you are using your powers to put it back into balance. >
< If the God of Balance tries to mess with such a proper things and try to put all the negative karma on you, the other gods will not let it be. >
‘Hmm.’
Cale’s face finally relaxed.
“Then that’s a relief.”
Tap. Tap.
He then tapped the table as he organized his thoughts.
‘50 people-’
The Black Castle.
Moving the whole castle was already turning this into a big scale, but… 50 was quite the large number.
However, he did not feel very good about it.
‘That means we are going to need that many people in that world.’
Aipotu.
The fact that the fight against the Purple Bloods would be completely different from his fights until now… He could already tell that would be the case.
“Hey.”
<...I don\'t care if you don’t treat me like a god, but can you not just ‘hey’ me? >
“Hey.”
< Haaaa- >
“How about a hundred?”
Di—-
The message flinched.
< That’s a bit hard? >
“Just try it. Try it and let me know.”
Cale then turned the mirror screen off.
Ding!
Ding! Di, ding!
Urgent messages came in one after the other, but he just ignored them.
It didn’t matter to Cale whether the God of Death suffered or not.
Instead, he slowly organized his thoughts.
‘Choi Han, Raon, and I will have to go.’
Choi Jung Soo and the team leader had to go as well.
They needed to find the missing Choi Jung Gun.
“Ah.”
He then thought about the people who came back with them from the Central Plains.
Myung, who was one of the Blood Cult’s young Blood Demon candidates.
There was also the former priestess as well as the current priestess, the youngest young lady of the Duke’s House of Orsena.
The three of them had returned with them.
“I heard priest Durst was looking after them.”
He should chat with them.
Cale stood up.
He then looked out the window.
He was currently staying in the Black Castle within the Forest of Darkness.
“Haaaaaaaa.”
He subconsciously sighed.
It could not be helped.
“Kahahaha! You little rascals, did you think that would be enough to hurt me?! Your fists are like cotton!”
“Raon! Let’s make sure we knock this bastard unconscious!”
“That sounds great, Dodori!”
The pink Dragon Dodori and black Dragon Raon were sparring against the grey Dragon Rasheel.
Baaaaang!
Baaaaang!
While completely destroying one section of the forest.
Of course, Dodori and Rasheel were in their human forms.
“…For now… Yeah, let’s take them for now.”
Dragons ruled that world.
Cale, as someone who would need to fight against those Dragons, looked at Rasheel, who was laughing while fighting against children, and Raon and Dodori who truly wanted to knock Rasheel unconscious, with a blurry gaze.
However, he soon smiled with satisfaction.
“Yeah. No Dragon can defeat a crazy Dragon.”
Especially Rasheel… This crazy bastard would be extremely useful.
Cale looked toward the other side.
“Mm.”
An unexplainably unsettled look appeared on his face.
Clopeh Sekka.
He was being smacked around by Choi Han.
Yes, this definitely was being smacked around.
He was sure that Choi Han was giving lessons to Clopeh first before Hannah arrived, but…
“…….”
Clopeh was laughing while being smacked around.
“I need to definitely take that bastard as well.”
This bastard seemed as if he would not get scared by Dragon Fear.
In fact, he might laugh out loud as he charged forward toward it.
He truly felt that way.
“Mm.”
Cale turned his gaze again.
This time, he looked up at the sky.
A large Bone Dragon roaming around the sky above the Forest of Darkness.
It was the Dragon half-blood.
Next to him were the new flying bone monsters that Mary had created.
Cale turned his gaze after hearing someone knock.
“Can we chat for a bit?”
The former Dragon Lord…
Raon’s mom.
An existence who was only a conscience and tied to this castle…
The one with the attribute of protection…
Sheritt looked at Cale and smiled.
“I’ve been waiting for you, ma’am.”
Cale had been waiting for her.
“Eruhaben-nim as well.”
The ancient Dragon next to her as well.
Eruhaben had returned from meeting the World Tree.
And although Raon was the master of this Black Castle, Sheritt controlled everything and was realistically the true master.
He needed the two of them to start his preparations for Aipotu.
Cale gestured toward the seats for the two Dragons before looking out the window one last time.
In the distance-
‘They are coming.’
The individuals who would definitely be a part of the 50 were coming.
Lock, the heir to the Wolf King.
And the Head of the Tiger tribe, the strongest of the wild beasts, Shaman Gashan.
Dark Elf Tasha and Elf Pendrick were with them as well.
A world ruled by Dragons…
Dragons were not the only right answer in order to be victorious there.
Cale was thoroughly preparing things, more thoroughly than ever before.
There was no reason that they could not suppress the enemies just because they were Dragons.
