People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

at the same time.

"Disciple, welcome back."

"Long time no see, teacher."

In the office, in response to the greeting from Teacher Se Lian, he nodded slightly.

But I was also a little surprised.

It was a bit rare that his teacher Se Lian was not in the office at this time, but was waiting for his arrival.

"What was the result of this outing? I have heard everything you did at the Volcano Mansion. I never expected that even [Justice Officer] Lakkad had been corrupted."

Although there was a hint of emotion in his words, which was the regret and sorrow of a fellow genius, Seren himself did not have any opinion on it, and the matter of Lakkad was just a casual chat.

"How was your trip to the Holy Tree, though? Did you run into any trouble?"

"There weren't any troubles. This trip went quite smoothly. I've already cured Marennia at the Sacred Tree, which is considered paying off the debt we owed during the Shattered War. It also helped ease the alliance between the Sacred Tree and Kalia."

"Well, you are worthy of being my apprentice. You have worked hard along the way."

The look in Se Lian's eyes when she looked at him revealed fondness and nostalgia, and her words were full of concern all the time.

Although she could say that she had watched Reinhardt grow up, she was still a little surprised that he had grown to this point.

It seemed like everything went by so quickly.

The little magic apprentice who was once looked down upon has grown into a top magic knight, and can even stand on equal footing with demigods and gods.

"It's not that hard." Reinhardt smiled and waved his hand, "This is what a Kalia Knight should do."

"Oh~ Where's Knight Kalia~"

Along with the strange tone of voice, he found that Teacher Seren's eyes looking at him became strange.

"Why, teacher, are you still jealous?"

"How could that be? My apprentice has become the companion of the little Princess Kalia. I am so proud of you, but I am afraid that you will forget me now that you have a companion."

Se Lian said that he didn't care, but he imitated his tone and was full of sarcasm.

This made him smile bitterly and said, "Stop it, teacher. It's completely impossible for me to forget you. No matter if a thousand or ten thousand years pass, no matter what my status is, you will always be my most beloved teacher. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. If that day ever comes, I hope you won't despise me then."

The day he was referring to was when Marika's plan failed.

Now the road ahead is unknown, and the little memory he has is completely incompatible. The future has become hazy and unclear, and it is even more impossible to find any trace of it.

And Se Lian is naturally very clear about this.

"Yeah, of course. Even if the apprentice is untalented, I will still prepare a place for him to stay."

As he spoke, Se Lian slowly stood up, his slender heels making a clicking sound on the floor.

She slowly came in front of him, sat down on the desk with her legs crossed, and her azure magician's robe was slightly pulled up, revealing a section of her snow-white calves and small feet tightly wrapped in black high heels.

At the same time, the witch leaned over the edge of the table with both hands and looked at him with a smile. "Listen, you are my disciple, Seren. This will never change, even if you become the King of Elden or a god who opens a new era."

His figure was reflected in the teacher's eyes, as if his figure was everything to Se Lian, and in the depths of these dark pupils, he felt an incomparable determination.

Although he was joking, both he and Selien knew it very well, but now, Teacher Selien was serious.

However, just as he was about to explore the deeper emotions beneath her pupils, Se Lian suddenly looked away: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

As he spoke, he left the table and the area in front of him and returned to the chair behind the desk.

He did not respond to this, but fell into deep thought.

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, and he feels that this statement is true.

At that moment just now, he felt a very strong emotion deep in Se Lian's pupils, but it seemed to be suppressed in his heart.

What kind of emotion would make the vigorous and decisive teacher Se Lian dare not face it?

He was a little curious.

But compared to this, he cared about something more.

"Teacher, I have a question I would like to ask you. I wonder if you can answer it for me?"

"Well, of course, you know that. As a teacher, I will tell you everything I know."

Se Lian spread out his hands, as if opening his arms to embrace him.

"Okay, actually I'm just curious, teacher, how did you know I was coming back?"

This question had been lingering in his mind since the moment he got on the carriage.

But when he heard his question, Se Lian laughed.

"Haha, you are such a stupid disciple. That little guy should have told you when we were at the Holy Tree."

"Little guy? Said?"

Reinhardt expressed confusion, what is going on?

Seeing his bewildered expression, Se Lian smiled and explained, "...the divine man Michaela, he must have looked for you at the Sacred Tree. It was through him that I learned of your progress and deduced the day of your return."

"You mean Michaela is at the academy, right now?"

"Yeah, of course. That little guy found me when you left the academy and stayed in the academy. He also helped me do a lot of research."

"..."

Reinhardt was shocked.

I didn't expect that Michaela would actually be in the academy and appear in front of the teacher.

He thought it was a joke and came back just to try his luck, but he didn't expect it to be really here.

However, Teacher Seren called Michaela a little guy...a little guy who has lived for more than a thousand years?

emmm...it seems that there is no problem. After all, Teacher Se Lian has existed for a longer time, so there is no problem in calling him a little guy.

How old was Seren?

Don't ask, even if you ask, he won't know.

"What about Michaela and the others?"

"He should be somewhere in Lienia right now. He's planning a surprise for you, my disciple, and the little princess of Kalia," Se Lian said calmly. He then added, "As for his safety, don't worry. He's accompanied by the Ancient Dragon King, so there won't be any problems."

"All right..."

Teacher Se Lian is worthy of being Teacher Se Lian, just like the worms in his stomach.

The questions he wanted to ask were answered directly and in advance.

However, Michaela got involved with those two ancient dragon lolis?

For some reason, his heart was pounding, his eyelids were twitching, and he always had a bad feeling.

Will those two ancient dragon lolis be led astray by Michaela, the sinister loli?

Thinking of this, the anxiety in his heart made him feel a little thirsty.

At this moment, a cup of hot tea was brought to him.

"Lord Rhine, please have some tea."

"Oh, thank you."

The other person's voice was as gentle as the breeze brushing against his cheek. He subconsciously took the teacup and took a sip.

Hmm, it still has that familiar smell, and the sound seems familiar too...

wrong!

He turned his head suddenly and saw the beautiful figure in front of him, and almost spit out the tea in his mouth.

His eyes widened when he saw the familiar maid standing before him.

That's not Lenya or Laya, but...

"Ariana?! Aren't you in Galid? Why are you here?"

"Greetings, Master Rhine." Aliana bowed slightly, revealing her full cleavage as she stood up and explained, "I don't need to worry about the affairs of the Order for the time being. Master Lance Sanx wanted to see you, so he brought me to the academy ahead of time. As for Master Fia, she won't be arriving for a few days."

Lance Shanks is here too?

"Where is she now?"

At this moment, he seemed to have figured out why the mountains on the edge of Lienia, which were so tall that they looked like a barrier, had disappeared.

If I'm not mistaken, there's a high probability that Lance Shanks and Platton Shanks had a fight.

"I'm sorry, Lord Rhine, but Lady Lance Sanx said she's not in a good mood and doesn't really want to see you."

"All right..."

It goes without saying that Lance Shanks must have lost the fight and is now in a bad mood.

The scene where a dragon girl is pinned to the ground and rubbed by two ancient dragon lolis...seems quite exciting.

It’s just a pity that I didn’t see this scene.

"By the way, Professor Seren, your experimental subject is called Lenya. And where is Laya, who was sent here by Lani? Why can't I see them?"

He didn't see these two people either on the road or in this office.

According to Teacher Se Lian's habit, he should keep these two people with him, right?

After all, both Lenya and Laya are good research subjects for Seren.

"Hmm..." Selian fell into deep thought, gently pinching his chin and saying, "Lena's words were taken away by her master, a man named Diaros, a few days ago."

"Oh I got it."

He nodded to show that he understood.

This is not surprising. If he had not taken the man away after saying so much at the Volcano Mansion, he would have completely despised this man.

"What about Laya?" he asked immediately.

"...Laya, that girl has left."

"left?"

Reinhardt suspected he had misheard and asked again, "Teacher, are you sure she left the magic academy?"

"Yes, she said she wanted to hone herself by traveling in the border area, so I didn't stop her."

"All right...."

Plop! He leaned back in his chair.

I didn't expect Laya to choose this path.

In his memory, Laya quietly left the Volcano Mansion and chose to travel alone.

But it's fine this way, it's her own choice.

After all, he didn't have the right to force anyone to stay. Since she had chosen this path, let her go.

All he could do was offer silent blessings.

"However, when the little girl left, she left a letter for me to pass on to you."

As he spoke, Se Lian took out a folded piece of yellowed paper from under the book. It looked a little worn, but it was pressed very flat.

As for what is written above.

It was more of a message than a letter, and the content was very simple.

[For one day,

As the daughter of Tanis from the Volcano Residence,

Inheriting my mother's ambition, I want to travel.

You have always been warm,

But it is also very strict──

Farewell, my hero.]

"Hero..."
