NOVEL NEXT chapter 10
10 – 10.
Girl, Ar couldn’t adapt to the recently changed daily life.
“Ah, good morning~”
“Good morning!”
From the children of the wealthy upper class.
“Ar, where are you going?”
“President’s Office! The president called.”
“The President? What is it?”
“Huh? I don’t know. I was just told to come.”
“It’s amazing that the president is calling. Arya, even if you succeed later, you must not forget me.”
“Of course not!”
Even the children of the aristocrats who felt like the sky before entering the academy.
This situation where everyone was interested in him was very unfamiliar.
‘Oh, is it because of that?’
Ar’s gaze naturally turned to the sword at his waist.
Since realizing her aura during her promotion test not too long ago, a lot has changed around her.
From the eyes of the people around you on a small scale to the eyes on the world on a large scale.
Ar raised her gaze and looked around her.
Splendidly stretched campuses, a tree-lined road connecting them. The cadets, wearing school uniforms, gather in groups of threes and fives to chat.
Everything was the same as before, but again, everything was different.
Unknown magic formations engraved on the campus, the faint presence felt everywhere on the tree-lined road, and the skills of the cadets clearly distinguishable.
Everything I hadn’t seen before was seen faintly, sometimes clearly.
As soon as I arrived near the president’s office, I felt two strong auras that even an inexperienced Arr could clearly distinguish.
‘Two?’
It was clear who Hana was.
The president of the academy, Count Darhan.
Her memories of that day were still vivid.
After finishing her promotion test and realizing her aura, the president came to congratulate her.
Until now, there is no one who I thought was just a warm-hearted and kind grandfather.
Only the Master of the Empire could be seen in front of him, who suppressed all presence around him just by standing there.
‘It was scary… ‘
Even though he knew for sure that the President would not harm him, he felt a sense of fear.
By the way, is there another person who gives off a similar energy to the president?
Aar headed for the president’s office, suppressing his curiosity and fear.

“President, this is Ar.”
“Come in.”
Upon knocking on the door, he was immediately given permission to enter.
As I carefully opened the door and entered, I saw the president sitting at a desk and a man I had never seen before.
It was a middle-aged man who looked a bit younger than the president, but he was wearing pure white armor with a golden dragon pattern on it.
“Oh, Count. Are you this guy?”
“Yes. Leader.”
‘Golden Dragon… leader… no way… ?”
“Ar, say hello. This is Sir Peltz, the commander of the Imperial Knights.”
“Woo, see the Imperial Knight Commander!”
“Yes, I am Peltz. Nice to meet you.”
“That, what an honor!”
“Heh heh, there are other things that are truly honorable, but what kind of honor is it to meet this old man?”
“What do you mean! How much I respected Sir Peltz!”
“Hmm?”
He wasn’t even aware that he had raised his voice, and Ahr spoke with excitement.
“Sir Peltz, who came up to the island with just a sword, proudly joined the Imperial Knights with only his skills, and eventually rose to the position of Commander of the Imperial Knights, is my idol! Sir Peltz’s achievements during his time as vice-captain are enough to be used as a biography of a great man, but not long ago… “
“Ar, okay, lower your voice.”
“Ah… sorry.”
Finally, when the president cut off his words, he closed his mouth, blushing.
Looking at this with a satisfied expression, Peltz opened his mouth with a brighter expression than before.
“Thank you for your respect for this old man. I also wanted to meet you.”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course. Otherwise, I would have treated myself as an errand boy like this.”
“I am an errand boy… ?”
Take the captain of the imperial knights as an errand boy?
Anyone who can…
He felt that Ar’s thoughts went white in his head.
Leaving the hardened Ars alone, Sir Peltz pulled out a box from his bosom.
“Take it. It is a gift from His Majesty the Emperor.”
____________________________________________
Ar, who had returned to the inn, had not come to his senses yet.
If you didn’t have a box wrapped in your precious arms, in case you bump into it,
Perhaps he thought he was dreaming.
‘His Majesty, to me?’
I couldn’t believe it.
A box made of a luxurious material that I have never seen in my life, and the purple color painted on it.
I didn’t feel a sense of reality at all.
I couldn’t even remember how I got back to the dorm.
‘I heard that His Majesty wrote the letter himself. Go back to your inn and open it by yourself.’
When I met Lord Peltz, whom I always admired, and heard his good words, I felt like I was going to explode.
Now that I’ve come this far, I feel rather scared than happy.
‘Can I accept this… ?’
No, it’s a gift from His Majesty the Emperor.
It would be disrespectful to even question it.
When I reached that point, I laughed like an idiot.
‘Should I open it? Can I open it right away? Oh no. I should wash my body first and open it with a godly heart.’
I obviously washed my body this morning, but somehow I felt like I was lacking, so I washed my body again and changed my clothes.
Obviously, it was another school uniform, but Ar, who had the most neat appearance he could do, knelt down in front of the box.
‘Okay, open it!’
Carefully opening the box, blue pills and luxurious stationery caught my eye.
‘This is… !’
Ar picked up the stationery carefully, lest it get crumpled.
[ Ar. ]
As soon as he read the first line of the letter, Ar felt his breath stop.
‘Your Majesty, you know my name… !’
While forcibly suppressing his pounding heart, he turned his gaze back to the stationery.
[
I heard from Count Darhan that among the talented cadets, there is a cadet who stands out in particular.
I was quite surprised by the story that a girl who was less than twenty realized the Aura, and I couldn’t help but admire the part where the opportunity was to save a colleague in danger.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Jim founded the academy to discover talented people like you.
I’m about to give a small gift to Dongryang, who will lead the empire in the future.
I am a young medicine who was asleep in Jim’s report.
As it is the elixir that the emperor prepared with the intention of dispensing it if Jim showed interest in the sword, it is not only effective but also lacking in stability.
Unfortunately, Jim wasn’t interested in swordsmanship, so he was just a rotting object in the warehouse, but now he’s met the owner.
I hope this elixir will help you on your way.
If one day you reach the level of an expert, I’d like to meet you and talk.
I hope that day will come soon, and I’ll cut it short.
]
‘Your Majesty… !’
Ar, who was so deeply moved, carefully put the letter down so that it would not be crumpled in the midst of this, then turned to the elixir.
Carefully swallowing the elixir, Ar was determined.
I will definitely rise to the level of an expert.
And one day, I will definitely rise to the level beyond that and assist the Emperor like Sir Feltz now.
Oh, and this letter should be preserved for generations with preservation magic.

“Your Majesty.”
“Oh, Lord Peltz. Have you met that cadet?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Seeing young blood after a long time made me feel like I was getting younger too.”
“Whoa.”
“He was a very passionate fellow. It seems to me that there is not much time left before reaching expert.”
“Is that so?”
“It is hard to believe that he has just awakened his aura. Also, the eyes seemed pretty good. Friends like that grow up fast.”
“I’m getting more and more excited.”
“Heh heh, you can look forward to it. By the way, Your Majesty, did you really mind if I gave you that elixir? If it’s such an elixir, even if His Majesty takes it himself, it will help His Majesty’s magic.”
“hahahaha, Sir. Jim took a lot more elixir than Sir thought. You don’t have to worry because there’s nothing more you can get from the elixir.”
Among the hidden pieces scattered across the continent, I collected all of them except for the ones dedicated to the swordsman that could be of help to Shien.
The elixirs from the imperial treasury are effective, but compared to the ones I’ve taken so far.
In fact, among the elixirs in Vigo in the imperial family, there were many elixirs that were superior to those in the game. I took all of them, so there was no need for me to be greedy for elixirs anymore.
“In that case, well. Ah, Your Majesty. Come to think of it, it looks like Giel is away. Do you know where she went?”
“Sir Giel has gone down to the East.”
“Dongbu, do you mean?”
“Yes. Jim trusted the Marquis Gior and entrusted him with the East, but he did not live up to expectations, so I’m going to reprimand him a little, but he can’t let anyone go.”
“Hmm… Rebuke, Ira.”
“I would be incompetent if I hadn’t known that my realm was infested with traitors and demon worshipers. If I had known… “
I cracked a joke at Sir Peltz, laughing.
“Sir, after you retire, would you like to become a marquis?”
