Fulilian: Becomes a disciple of Celia at the beginning

"As for him actually falling asleep, it's probably only a few hours until dawn."

Gut:.

Sora:.

Hafka:

Celia:

How should I put it? Although this matter sounds extremely outrageous, it doesn’t seem so impossible when it happens to my junior brother Zen.

In the past, when they rested, they mostly slept separately in separate rooms, or slept on the floor together in the wild. This might be okay for Zen.

But the hostel in this village today is too small, so Celia had to arrange for two people of the same sex to share a room in a twin room, which is why this situation happened.

"So that's how it is." Celia, the teacher, shook her head helplessly. "I didn't think it through."

"You two should sleep separately tonight. There should be a single room available after cleaning up the hostel. It's perfect. You two can each stay there."

After hearing the teacher's handling of the matter, Ross couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and took the initiative to say, "I'll go."

"Well, that's fine too."

After deciding to leave a dessert for Zen alone, everyone walked into the hostel restaurant together and enjoyed the simple breakfast provided by the hostel.

Hot milk, toast, fried potatoes, and a simple fried egg.

Although it is not luxurious, it is rich enough for breakfast.

During the meal, Gut also asked the restaurant waiter to ask the chefs in the back kitchen for a plate of nuts and some fresh fish, which he put on a plate and served to his teacher's [Meteorite Bird].

The bird was also very considerate. It rubbed the elf's cheek with its beak to express its request, and then flew to the plate and started to eat without caring whether Celie allowed it or not.

And facing Gut's hand stroking its head, it did not show any hostility, and enjoyed eating.

"Tsk-tsk-"

Celie glanced at Gut and the bird with some jealousy, but didn't say much.

The disciple's vision is still good after all, but this little guy is a little too easy to bribe.

"That's right, teacher."

"Is there any news from Oissast?"

"Just ask it. It was it that brought the news anyway."

The meteorite bird pecking at food: "Chi-chi-?"

After seeing Gut's frustrated look, the elf stopped joking with his disciples and started to talk seriously with everyone.

"Gut is right. There was indeed news coming back from Oissast this morning."

"It's probably because the intelligence department of the [Empire] reported back that I received a handwritten inscription from the king in the [Holy City of Shutralu]. Therefore, the emperor of the [Empire] also wanted to give me, or rather, the [Continental Magic Association], a reciprocal inscription."

"If that's all, it's fine. I think it can be resolved in the Royal Capital as well."

"But the Emperor of the Empire probably wants to put his power above the King, so he invited me to attend a celebration dinner for the border soldiers."

"Although there was no direct threat, it did imply that if I didn't attend, the association's enrollment and magical equipment procurement within the empire would be affected."

"That's really troublesome," Gutt sighed. "As expected, anything tainted by politics becomes complicated."

"Teacher, do you have any plans to deal with this? I can't really be invited to go, right?"

"Of course I won't go." The elf picked up a piece of baked potato and put it into his mouth, denying it.

"If I attend the Empire's event, then the Kingdom must also participate in order to maintain neutrality."

"Political entertainment isn't my forte. If I continue to stay in the vortex of power for the sake of the association, I'm bound to be swallowed up by it."

"So, we must nip this in the bud from the very beginning."

"For this celebratory banquet, I intend to send an envoy to attend on my behalf and bring back the troublesome handwritten inscription from the Emperor."

"Is that so?" Gu Te nodded. "It's a good choice."

"Even if the Empire failed to achieve its goal, I'm afraid they won't let this representative off easily."

"Teacher, you have to put more effort into selecting the right people."

"Hmm," Celie murmured.

"I'm afraid this is no longer necessary."

"Hmm?" Looking at the teacher's golden eyes staring at him, Gut couldn't help swallowing and said nervously.

"You don't intend to let me go, do you?"

"What else?" The elf shrugged and said as a matter of course.

"As my chief disciple of this generation, no one else is more suitable to represent me than you."

Gut was a little scared and asked the teacher tentatively.

"Are you really not considering other candidates? I don't have any political experience, so it's better to leave the overseas visits to the experienced staff of the association."

Faced with his disciple's retreating look, the elf frowned slightly, his expression slightly unhappy.

"Political experience is irrelevant."

"As long as you don't contradict the Emperor of the Empire in public, even if they try to embarrass you, they will keep it within limits."

"After all, considering the weight of the [Continental Magic Association] in their game, neither the [Empire] nor the [Kingdom] wants to see us side with their enemies."

"Oh, alright."

Seeing that even the system had popped up a task prompt, Gut had no choice but to agree.

Since I am destined to be away from my teacher for a while, it is time to make some preparations.
