108. Reinforcement is a gamble (5)

Ariando is not a person who lacks money, so it won’t matter if he has a lot of money to strengthen.

The problem is that Shine made it to the round of 12.

How can I put up with this?

12 unconditionally must be floated.

If not, sleeping with your feet stretched is wrong.

“It was very strange that my magic wand could become stronger by strengthening it. I was curious about how my magic wand would change. Will I be able to make it to the round of 12 like Ariando?”

When Ariando calls for a round of 12, Vine also says he wants to try a round of 12.

It might seem easy since Shine carries 12 rounds.

‘Couldn’t he change like Ariando?’

The children’s reaction to reinforcement is more intense than I thought.

Ariando, who was impatient, asked Baine to yield the order.

“Can’t I start with the round of 12?”

“As much as you like. Actually, I wanted to see how you do it.”

Baine did not refuse Ariando’s earnest request.

Ariando held out his weapon to me, eyes twinkling.

“Please.”

“You won’t regret it?”

“I’m not going to do much today. I just came to challenge the round of 12 just once. Here’s the reinforcement value!”

“I still have a lot left to use what I gave you last time?”

“Since I paid a lot of money, can’t you help me succeed?”

“Success or failure is not my responsibility. If that was the case, all of you here would have made it to the round of 12.”

Strengthening is a fight against myself.

It’s impossible for someone else to do something, and I think that’s why it shouldn’t be.

The love and hatred for enhanced weapons is what qualifies you to have real weapons.

“Are you going to do it here?”

“no!”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“I’m going to strengthen it in a good spot, not here.”

“Myeongdang?”

“I’ll tell you something very important. The place is very, very important!!! The reason I couldn’t make it to the round of 12 was because of the zelkova tree.”

Ariando’s eyes glow with madness.

At first glance, it looks similar to Fran, but…?

For no reason, his eyes went to Fran.

The original Gwangnyeon was smiling softly as if he didn’t know anything.

“Mister! Please go to the park. It’s where I strengthened my Shine weapon.”

Ariando, who tasted the hot taste of Ganghwa, was well aware of the importance of a good spot.

What are the conditions of the Myeongdang?

It’s just that someone else is doing well in that place.

“Okay, let’s go right away.”

All the kids followed Ariando and headed to the park.

The Ganghwa Myeongdang seemed to become a park.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“Wait, right there! What are you doing here?”

I knew it would be like this.

“Hee-hee-eeing!!!! Why am I!!! Why can’t I be the only one!!”

Arianne, who collapses on the floor and wails as if her family has been disgraced.

“I-I think it’s right for me to go this far. Even 10 is good. Yeah. I don’t want to bother this kid anymore.”

Vine, who knows how to control himself, came to his senses after seeing the unusual bitter taste of Ganghwa and stopped in the 10th river.

“Hmm… Is that tidy?”

Shine secretly smirking while watching her friends’ Ganghwa show leisurely.

Finally, with the encouragement of his friends, Fran accidentally strengthened his unique equipment, the Holy Relic, to level 11.

“I had no intention of strengthening…”

The state of chaos here became extremely chaotic, and these strange and suspicious actions caught the eye of the knight.

They were looking at me with suspicion, especially looking at me as lousy trash.

Isn’t it too suspicious to be suspicious of several young girls doing something with a man?

“Whoop, whoop!! Ha, I want to do it one more time. Just one more time. Just one more time!!!”

At that time, Ariando couldn’t grasp the situation and shouted ‘one more time’.

“Oh, Ariand too!”

Fran hastily stopped Ariando, but the knight was already in a situation where he had to see something more suspicious.

The one time Ariando said here was to climb to the round of 11 and challenge the round of 12, but isn’t it hard for the driver to know that?

“What else do you mean? I’ll arrest you if you don’t explain properly.”

The knight puts his hand on his waist.

I calmly told the driver.

“It may look very strange, but I didn’t do anything really strange.”

It must have been too clumsy an excuse, and the driver didn’t seem to believe me.

“I’ll start by inspecting your belongings. Raise your hands and get up from your seat.”

The children, feeling that the situation was strange, belatedly made excuses for me.

“Aren’t we suspicious? We’re students. Students.”

“That’s right, I’m an academy student.”

“Everyone, get away from him. Take three steps back.”

“to?”

Ariando is the last to figure out the situation and puts on a bewildered expression.

The kids took Ariando, who was distracted, and did as they were told.

It was a certain thing that a few people who became X after laughing in front of the article saying they were unfair came out every month.

The knight groped my body with both hands raised to see if I had anything.

“You really have nothing to hide?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“Then what were you doing with the students here? What do you mean by doing it one more time?”

“uh….”

The children who knew that I hadn’t reported that I was an Awakener rolled their eyes.

If I told the truth, they would check my identity, and if I said I wasn’t an Awakener, then I was an illegal Awakener.

“We were just having a conversation.”

“That’s why the student’s condition is not good.”

That’s because he’s crazy about reinforcements…

‘It’s embarrassing. Maybe I should have listened more carefully then.’

I had asked the duke to report the awakening, and he handled it properly.

I’ve been told not to worry because I’ve taken care of it.

The problem was that I hadn’t heard in detail how it was handled.

So I couldn’t tell the knight that this happened because I was using my awakened ability.

‘No, then I’m going to be more suspicious?’

The kids actively came forward and made excuses, but the knight didn’t seem to be eating them.

“I’ll check everyone’s ID.”

“Don’t bother bothering even the kids with clear identities, let’s just be investigated. Aren’t you doing this because I’m suspicious anyway?”

“…Then students will only be given names.”

I wrote down the names of the children, and moved to the guard with me, as if I didn’t even suspect the students who attended the chivalry academy.

“mister…”

“My uncle is not really a strange person.”

“If all goes well, you’ll be released right away. If you haven’t committed any crimes, you don’t have to worry. So students, please go back to the academy.”

It seemed like the kids would follow me if I left it alone, so I added a word.

“I’m fine, go back to the dorms.”

“I’m sorry, mister. It’s because of us…”

“We should have been more careful.”

“I’ll tell my dad and ask him to save me! Wait a minute, boss!”

Ariando is particularly restless and even says that he will save him.

After an accident, it is natural to feel restless.

I stopped Ariando because it was too much to go to the Duke for such a trivial matter.

“I just need to verify your identity, but don’t make it a big deal and go home.”

I left behind the worried kids and moved with the knight.

The knight stared at me with a stiff expression throughout the movement.

It felt like I was watching closely to see if I would run away.

thud!

“Oops!”

If there’s one thing the driver and I didn’t expect, something strange happened on the way to the guard.

“???”

“!!!”

The knight immediately heard the scream and tried to go to the place he came from, but he hesitated, as if he was bothered by me.

“Are you crazy? Run now!”

Is the suspicious me important now?

The scream was clearly the voice of a child.

I hope not, but the probability that kidnapping is happening is very high.

When my side was doubt and the other side was confirmed, of course it was normal to run from the place where it was confirmed.

The knight also came to his senses belatedly and ran towards the sound.

Quaang!!

Explosions are also heard not far away.

“…sun!”

“…Called….!”

“Chuck!….. Ah! Chase!”

Tadadadak!

The good news is that I can hear the sound of haste to see if something is going on over there.

If the abduction had succeeded without any problems, there wouldn’t have been such a fuss.

Apparently, the plans of the suspicious guys went awry.

So that’s a good thing for us.

“there!”

Light-looking footsteps were hurrying towards us.

If this continues, there is no doubt that we will soon be able to meet the owner of the footsteps.

Finally, after turning around the alleyway, I saw a child running away in a hurry in the distance.

“It’s over there! Come this way!”

“Here! Come here.”

The knight and I gestured at the same time.

Of course, I knew that the child would come running toward us.

Are you being chased by a criminal and the police show up?

Of course, isn’t it normal to have to come that way?

But the child suddenly saw us and stopped walking in contemplation.

“What is it? Where is he going?”

“What is this…?”

And then run away in a different direction.

It’s not accurate, but it seemed like he ran away after seeing the article.

As I looked at the knight with a suspicious gaze, the map shook its head as if it was unfair.

“Oh, this can’t be done…!”

The knight was perplexed, not knowing what to do.

I can’t keep idly dazed, so I told the driver as I entered the alley where the child had disappeared.

“You take care of those bastards. I’ll get them.”

“Yes, yes? Ah! I see. Thank you.”

‘That bastard’, of course, refers to the criminals who were chasing the child.

The kid runs away from us into another alleyway, and we run into the criminals chasing him.

“uh?”

The hijackers stop running, as if taken aback by the article.

‘How many people were attached to each child?’

At first glance, it looks like there are 5 or 6 people.

In this case, the knight had to choose one of the two.

Will you subdue the criminals or follow them to save the child?

If I went to rescue the child, the criminals would notice the situation and run away, and subduing the criminal would expose the child to continued danger, so this was also unacceptable.

‘Have you run away as much as I did?’

Since the kidnappers were entrusted to the knight, all that was left was to pursue the child.

I thought I had followed him in time, but he was already running far away, so fast.

‘When did you get there? He was able to escape because he was so fast.’

Gone in the blink of an eye

It seemed impossible to pursue the child without using one’s abilities.

Something that could lead to a big trouble because of me.

‘Quickly and swiftly grabs.’

First of all, it makes my body lighter.

Then I used telekinesis to levitate my body in the air.

I’m quite used to flying now.

I spent a lot of time practicing flying after getting into trouble with Ariando in the past.

No matter how hard I run, I can’t beat him.

The distance between me and the child was shortened in an instant.
