Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

What surprised Sieg was that Yueying Mofang said such a thing.

[From the moment you accept my invitation, you are already a student of the National Akatsuki Academy]

"......What's the meaning?"

63. Prime Minister’s Good Assistance

A few hours later.

In a villa in Karuizawa.

Dragging his suitcase into the villa, Edwards said to Zieg who followed him in, "We are here. We will live here for the next three months starting from today."

"Eh~~~~"

Looking at the magnificent villa in front of him with empty hands, Sieg could not help but fall into a daze: "As expected of the Prime Minister... He is really generous. As a training ground, it is really too luxurious."

The villa where Zieg and Edwards are now staying is actually a holiday villa owned by Yueying Moya, but due to his busy work over the years, it has been left unused.

And now, just as Sieg said, this place has become the training ground assigned to him and Edwards by Moon Shadow Membrane. In the next three months, he will learn swordsmanship from scratch here with the world's strongest swordsman.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Zieg will live here for three months.

......

[From the moment you accept my invitation, you are already a student of the National Akatsuki Academy]

Time goes back a little to a few hours ago, when Sieg and Moon Shadow Fang had just started negotiating.

After being stunned for a moment by this sentence, Zig asked, "What do you mean?"

[You yourself said that the National Akatsuki Academy is a school that has not yet been established. If you must say, it is a private school run by an individual. It does not have any license or anything that can prove the existence of the academy.]

[Therefore, I plan to announce the establishment of the National Akatsuki Academy to the public through an action before the Seven Stars Swordsmanship Festival begins. Before that, all the students of Akatsuki Academy are lurking in the seven knight academies - for example, Wang Ma, he is a student of Wu Qu Academy]

[The same goes for you, Sieg-san. Before you officially debut at Akatsuki Academy, you're still a student at Pojun Academy.]

"You mean you want me to be a spy? I won't do that."

[Hehe, of course I won't ask you to do such a thing. It's better to say that there is only one thing I want you to do - win the Seven Star Sword Festival. It's that simple. You don't need to care about anything else.]

......

After Yueying Moya said this, he asked him and Edwards to come to Karuizawa by train.

After all, if you want to train in swordsmanship, it is better to find a more open place. The base of Akatsuki Academy has long been broken and it is impossible to live normally. Sieg doesn't care, but Edwards is a guest who needs to be treated well, so Yueying Moya directly gave up his villa.

Of course, before the two of them moved here, Yueyingmoya had already sent people to clean up the place as quickly as possible so that the two of them could move in directly with their bags.

And now-

"I'll live in this room."

After arriving at the second floor of the villa, Edwards quickly picked a room near the stairs with good lighting: "Zig, have you found a room?"

"Yeah, it's next door to you."

"That's good—what are you going to do next?"

How to do?

Sieg tilted his head, "Shouldn't we just start training right away?"

"You really can't wait~~~" Edwards smiled slightly, "But unfortunately, we can't start training today. How should I put it... Actually, it's my problem."

"Ok?"

"After all, you agreed too quickly, and I haven't made any preparations yet. If I just want to give you some simple instructions, it doesn't matter if I don't have any preparations, but I plan to teach you swordsmanship in the next three months, so I have to prepare for the lesson - I can't teach you without any preparation, right?"

Edelweiss explained.

"Also, I have to ask Mr. Yueying to prepare the necessary equipment for training... The official training will start the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"I see... Then I'll stay here for now. It's a good opportunity to arrange my schedule."

After all, he would be living with her for three days, just like living with Stella. Sieg thought it would be better to first allocate the housework that each of them would be responsible for. Moreover, if there were only one man and one woman, there would inevitably be some occasions in life that needed to be avoided, which was also something that needed attention.

And to be honest, Sieg felt that he could just go back to the Kreinsheed and sleep.

"Aren't you going back to Pojun Academy?"

"Hmm? What are you going back for?"

"Uh......"

Edwards paused, as if he had not expected Zig's answer. "What I mean is, in the next training, you may only be able to go back once a weekend. Depending on the situation, you may not be able to go back for three months. So do you really not need to go back and explain the situation to the people you know? Or take a leave from school?"

"Besides, there are no clothes for you to change into here. I have already packed my own luggage."

After hearing what Edwards said, Zigg realized this point that he had overlooked.

(Having said that...)

Sieg left school at noon the day before yesterday, and spent the entire day yesterday on the Clinshid practicing with Tina, and now it's already afternoon. Although I've asked Stella to help me ask for leave from Shinguji Kurono, so I don't have to go back for a week, but...I should go back first?

"I see. I'll go back to the academy first and will probably be back in the evening."

"it is good."

"By the way, do you need me to bring anything when you come back tonight? For example, ingredients for dinner - ah, sorry." Sieg suddenly realized something, "I just said this out of habit..."

After living with Stella for more than half a month, Sieg has somewhat gotten used to living with roommates, so much so that now he subconsciously...

Edwards smiled and said, "Don't apologize. It's better to say that your experience in this area is a great help. After all, I have always been a loner. To be honest, I am not used to living with other people. I don't meet many guests on weekdays..."

(After all, your house is built there.)

A residence at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters - this is no longer a question of whether someone will visit it, but a question of whether someone can visit it. Except for Sieg who cheated by using the teleportation device, it is estimated that no one else can reach Edelweiss's home so easily.

"You don't need to worry about the ingredients. I think Mr. Yueying has already prepared them. You just need to go back and bring your spare clothes. If there is anything else missing, we can have someone deliver it."

"Also, let me prepare dinner. You can look forward to it. I am very confident in my cooking skills."

Looking at Edwards who was smiling kindly in front of him, Zigg suddenly had an illusion.

He felt that she was not the world's strongest swordsman, nor the world's most vicious criminal.

She's just an older sister who's a little pretty, but nothing special about her.

64. A half-truthful excuse

It didn't take Zigg too much time to return to Pojun Academy.

To be precise, he was teleported back directly through the teleporter of the Clinshid. Since it was afternoon, Stella and the Kurotsuchi siblings next door might have gone to watch the game, or maybe they were all training? Sieg didn't meet anyone in the dormitory, but he was happy about it and quickly packed his luggage.

Then--

"You want a long vacation?"

In Shinguji Kurono's office, looking at Sieg who suddenly came to his office to make such a request, Shinguji Kurono took a puff of cigarette and couldn't help laughing: "Yesterday I heard from Familian that you wanted to take a week off, but the next day you came back in person and said you wanted a long vacation - let me hear your reasons for the time being."

"The reason... is that I want to go out and practice for a while."

On the way back and when he was packing his luggage just now, Zig had already thought of an explanation for asking for leave.

First of all, the matter of Edwards must not be told. Although she seemed to be able to enter and leave Japan normally and the Prime Minister was an old acquaintance of her, she was still considered the most vicious criminal in the world. If Shinguji Kurono knew that Sieg planned to practice with her, all kinds of trouble would arise in minutes.

By the same token, the affairs of Xiao Academy cannot be told to anyone. No matter what, he must continue to maintain his status as a student of Pojun Academy.

In this case, the only excuse Sieg can use is going out for training, and this excuse is quite reasonable. If you want to give a reason -

"Anyway, there's already a precedent from Wu Qu College, so it's okay for me to follow suit, right?"

Kurogane Ouma was a third-year student at Wuqu Academy, but he had hardly participated in any school activities or classes in the past three years. He spent the entire year practicing overseas, and would only occasionally return to Wuqu Academy to show up. In the records of Wuqu Academy, Kurogane Ouma had taken an irregular long vacation in the name of [Practicing Overseas].

After all, he was the only A-class knight in Japan at that time, so he could be given such a little privilege.

Now Ziggy just wants the same privilege.

"But since it's a long vacation, I'll be back before the Seven Stars Sword Festival begins."

"......Let me tell you first, your qualification to participate in the Seven Stars Sword Festival has not been approved yet, and you may not be able to participate." Shinguji Kurono reminded, "I don't object to you going to practice. In fact, I also think that you can't learn anything in the academy. But in the end, you may just be wasting your efforts."

"It doesn't matter. We still have to make the necessary preparations. I'll take this as your approval of my request for a long vacation, Chairman."

After saying that, Sieg turned around and tried to leave.

But before that, Shinguji Kurono stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I haven't agreed yet."

"Ok?"

"If you are here purely for training, I really have no reason to refuse. But there is one thing that concerns me - the day before yesterday, which was the first day of the trials, you spent the entire afternoon and evening chasing after someone, right?"

Shinguji Kurono took a puff of his cigarette. "Although the news reports didn't say who the person who kept causing explosions in the air was, the several large explosions that occurred in the suburbs the night before yesterday... that was undoubtedly [Explosive Dragon Flash], your unique skill."

"...What does the Chairman want to say?"

"Did you decide to go out for training only after fighting with the person you were chasing? Who was the person you were chasing? - Forget about the other scattered questions, but I want to know the answers to these two questions." Shinguji Kurono said seriously, "Don't forget, you are now a dangerous person that the country is paying close attention to, and Ningyin and I are your guardians. After what happened the day before yesterday, we were severely held accountable."

When it comes to this matter, Shinguji Kurono feels a little depressed.

It was the Japanese branch who called Sieg over, but in the end, it was the two of them who had to clean up Sieg's mess...

Bathed in the gaze of Shinguji Kurono that seemed to see through him, Sieg was silent for a while and then nodded slightly: "You can say that, but... I don't know who the other party is."

"Oh?"

"That person unilaterally said that there was some connection between me and him, but I had never met him before. After fighting with him, I realized that I still had a lot of shortcomings. In addition, it seemed that he would also compete in the Seven Stars Sword Festival... So I thought about going out for some proper training."

Sieg said with a mixture of truth and falsehood: "As for whether I can participate in the Seven Star Sword Festival...this question is not within my consideration."

"......All right."

Sighing helplessly, Shinguji Kurono put out the cigarette in his hand and said, "That sounds reasonable. I'll approve your application for a long vacation, but you have to come back at least once a week."

"Yes, that was my original plan. I didn't plan to leave too far. If there is a loud noise in the suburbs later, it is likely that I am training."

"Remember to keep the noise down."

Shinguji Kurono smiled and said, "Also, don't forget to tell Familion and the others. After all, we are roommates living together."

"I will - thank you for your understanding, Chairman."

After bowing slightly to Shinguji Kurono, Sieg left the office.

(This kid... apart from all the trouble he has done, he is actually a pretty good kid.)

(But the Seven Stars Swordsmanship Festival... he probably really couldn't participate.)

----------------------

on the other hand.

Shortly after Sieg left Shinguji Kurono's office.

Stella and the others who were training in the small woods near the dormitory—

"Jingle Bell!"

The student handbooks of Stella and the Kurotsuchi siblings rang at the same time, causing the three of them to pause.

After taking out the letter and reading its contents, the three of them immediately looked at each other.

"Could it be that... you also received Sieg's message?"

"Ah."

Ikki Kurogane was the first to display the contents of the text messages he received, followed by Stella and Shushizu Kurogane.

Three messages with exactly the same content were displayed on the three people's mobile phones.

[Are you all free? Come to the dormitory entrance. I have something to tell you before I leave.]

The sender is Zig.

"Leave...what does leaving mean? He wants to drop out of school?" Stella frowned, "He just asked me to take a week off for him yesterday!"
