Liber asked,
"What's Bonita up to these days? Why haven't I seen her?"
Davian replied,
"She's made a new friend."
"New friend? Oh, you mean that sword?"
This time, Bellum answered instead.
"Don't even get me started. She hasn't been eating or sleeping properly, just swinging that sword for a week now."
Liber shook his head.
"Is she going to be like that all vacation?"
"I don't know. It's like she's become a different person. I'm really worried."
Davian spoke again.
"It's okay. She'll overcome it. And she'll become stronger."
"Really? If Davian says so, I'm relieved."
Davian also watched Bonita's personal training.
She swung her sword all day long like a person possessed by it.
Subtly changing the sword's path, swinging in one stance all day long.
'It must be thanks to the stamina tonic.'
The stamina tonic made from the Hydra's regenerative stem at the beginning of their freshman year.
He had extracted the regenerative stem together with Luna, Bellum, Nubes, and Bonita, and distributed 50 each.
A mystical medicine that increases stamina by 10% each time it is taken once a month.
She's taken about 30 of them now, so her stamina is 17 times better.
Of course, in addition to taking the mystical medicine, she's also been doing stamina training, and there's also the increased stamina from practicing internal and external energy, so it's actually even more than that.
In fact, these five, including Davian, haven't felt like their stamina was lacking for a long time.
'Even so...'
He was actually a little worried, so he had been watching her for a long time.
He had no way of knowing how that ego sword was seducing Bonita.
He heard that they talked so much that she even gave the sword the name 'Eden.'
So, whenever he had time, he watched Bonita's personal training.
Even though she was swinging her sword all day long like a madwoman.
Her eyes hadn't lost their sharpness.
Only then could Davian feel relieved and return to his daily life.
Latia asked,
"I heard it's an amazing sword?"
"It's just a sword that talks a lot."
"Really? You're saying it talks when you hold the handle?"
Davian nodded.
"That's right, but don't even think about going to grab it. You don't want to hear it tell you to get lost because you smell like a dirty magician."
"What? Dirty magician's smell?"
"That's what the sword said."
Of course, that was what he had heard in the previous timeline before practicing internal energy.
But if Latia or Karin, who only practiced magic power, were to grab the handle of the ego sword Eden, it would surely say something like that again.
"What an arrogant sword."
Liber clapped his hands to get everyone's attention and then asked.
"What are you all doing this vacation? Davian, are you going to keep practicing that?"
When Davian nodded, Bellum asked.
"What is it?"
"Dragon's Flame."
"Ah! The one you're learning from that pretty older sister?"
Davian shook his head.
"Even after knowing who she is, you still call her a pretty older sister?"
"Why? She is pretty, isn't she?"
"Be careful, Bellum. She's a dragon who crushes people's heads without a second thought. She's different from Mr. Insenis."
"Huh? Mr. Insenis was a dragon too? No wonder..."
Davian sighed deeply.
What was the point of hiding it now?
In fact, it seemed like the other friends had already noticed.
"Yeah. The legendary Mad Dragon Insenis is the Mr. Insenis we know. He seems to be completely sane now, so don't worry."
At that moment.
Nubes was greatly surprised as if something had come to mind.
"Gasp!"
"What's wrong, Nubes?"
"That... that... we took the Mad Dragon's claw and hung it up at the academy like a trophy, didn't we?"
Only then was Bellum also surprised.
"Gasp! That's right? What do we do, Davian?"
"It's okay. It's been a long time since the claw grew back, and it doesn't matter."
"Phew, that's a relief."
As a result, it was a relief.
In fact, the academy was almost destroyed because of that.
Latia looked at Davian.
"They both seem to like Davian a lot. Amazing, Davian. To have two dragon friends."
"It just happened."
"I want to learn too."
"Learn what?"
"The Dragon's Flame that a dragon teaches directly."
"Are you sure? Aren't you scared?"
"Would I die?"
Davian tapped his head with his index finger.
"It's good to go together, but you always have to be careful about your thoughts. They're a race that can read human thoughts."
They were friends who had already heard about the man who would become a mountain bandit king.
"Yeah, I know. That bandit died with his head exploding just from having bad thoughts in his head."
Karin opened her mouth.
"I have to go to the royal palace. The royal magic department called me. They said they need to check how much I've improved."
Liber slapped Karin on the shoulder.
"Royal Secret Weapon! Go show them how much you've improved!"
"Oh, okay."
Karin couldn't quite handle Liber's rough jokes.
But she didn't glare with murderous eyes like she used to.
"Hey, Karin. I can go to the capital with you."
"Luna, are you going to the capital too?"
"Yeah. To see my father."
"Your father is in the Royal Guard, right?"
"Yeah. I used to visit him often, but I haven't been able to since I entered the academy."
Bellum asked.
"Liber, why are you asking about vacation plans?"
Liber smiled and leaned in.
"I've found out another interesting piece of information. Anyone want to go to the Manum Continent with me?"
"Manum Continent? The Manum Continent where the Marino Empire is?"
Ting.
=====
[Event: Millennium Tree Fruit Acquisition]
―The fruit of the Millennium Tree, which bears fruit once every thousand years, has ripened.
―Consuming it will purify the energy within the body.
―The exact effect of the energy purification is unknown.
―Reward: Millennium Tree Fruit (Rarity ★★★★)
―Reward: Mana Points 35K (x2)
―Caution: A hidden quest may occur during the event.
―Accept: Y / N
=====
Davian, who was looking at the suddenly appearing notification window, tilted his head.
It was just an event to pick and eat tree fruit.
In addition to the tree fruit, he would receive an additional 70K mana points as a reward.
The quest with the largest reward recently was the quest to rescue his father.
Even though he had to face the demon army commander Javier in the middle, the reward was 50K.
'But an event to pick and eat fruit has a reward of 70K?'
70K.
It might not be a big number for Davian now, but it was a number that could exceed 4-star magic power in one go.
'I've only barely collected 300K by combining all the mana I've collected over the past three timelines.'
70K for one event.
It was the biggest reward of any single event so far.
There was even no failure penalty for the event.
'What is this?'
First, he decided to listen to Liber's information.
"What are you trying to do by going to the Manum Continent?"
"Don't be surprised, Davian. There's a tree called the Millennium Tree on the Manum Continent, and this summer is when its fruit ripens. A fruit that ripens only once every thousand years! Let's go pick it and eat it!"
Latia asked.
"What's so good about eating it?"
Liber replied with a serious expression.
"That's the thing... I don't know either."
"You don't know?"
"Yeah, I don't know. It's a fruit that ripens once every thousand years. Who would have eaten it? Ahahaha."
"What's that?"
"Still, wouldn't there be some kind of effect? And wouldn't it be fun? I've figured out the approximate location. All we have to do is find the Millennium Tree."
Latia shook her head.
"You're trying to get recognized by your family again, aren't you?"
The Specula family had the best information agency on the continent.
Obtaining the fruit of the Millennium Tree and directly confirming its efficacy would be quite important to the Specula family.
"What's the point of hiding it? You got me. My father asked me to take charge of it directly. With you guys. How about it? Doesn't it sound fun? And who knows? Maybe something amazing will happen if you eat that fruit."
Davian had finished his 고민 고민.
The item Millennium Tree Fruit, which would purify the energy, even though he didn't know what effect it had.
And the opportunity to get 70K mana points at once.
It could be connected to a hidden quest.
Anyway, it was an event with no failure penalty.
"Let's go. Sounds fun."
"Really? Davian? Yes! Let's go! Anyone else want to go together?"
Latia looked at Davian with a puzzled expression.
"I didn't know you were interested in things like tree fruit?"
"It sounds fun."
Latia, who had been thinking for a while, nodded.
"Then I'll go too."
"Oh! Latia too? Great! Anyone else? Bellum! Nubes! What about you guys?"
Suddenly, Bellum started twisting his body.
Nubes looked at the floor and then looked at the ceiling repeatedly.
"What's wrong? You two?"
"That... there's something we haven't told you yet."
"What is it?"
"We're dating. Nubes and I."
"I know."
"Oh... you know? Yeah, I guess you know. Everyone said they already knew."
"Are you confessing that now out of the blue?"
"Oh, no. That's not it. It's just that we can't go to the Manum Continent together."
Bellum poked Nubes in the side.
"You say it."
"Huh? Oh, oh. We... we decided to travel a bit this vacation..."
Liber hit Nubes on the arm.
"I thought it was something else. Yeah, go travel a bit. It must have been hard to date in secret while being so cautious. Now you're both doing well in school. No one will blame you."
"Thanks, Liber."
Latia asked.
"Did you both work harder because you were worried people would criticize you for dating?"
"Oh, we did."
"Then that's even better. You were both barely in the mid-range in your freshman year."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah. We support you."
"Thanks, Latia."
Liber raised his index finger and looked around at his friends.
"Then this time it looks like it will just be me, Davian, and Latia. That's too bad. It would have been fun. No one's been to the Manum Continent, right?"
Latia nodded.
"I've never been outside the Pax Continent."
Davian also nodded.
The third timeline.
He had been rushing around clearing events and quests without any free time.
He had never gone to the Manum Continent on his own.
He didn't have the time.
"Manum Continent..."
The Marino Empire Imperial Palace.
Emperor Kaiser Rapax's eyes widened.
"What?"
Intelligence Chief Heinz Grayton answered once again.
"Davian Naone has set foot on the Manum Continent. His destination is still unknown."
"That bastard has come to our continent himself, you say?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Shall we deal with him?"
Emperor Kaiser Rapax, who had been tilting his head for a moment, threw his head back and laughed loudly.
"Kuhahaha. That bastard has come into our Marino Empire territory of his own accord, you say?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"It seems I'll have to go out for a bit after a long time. Figure out where he's moving from and to in detail and report it."
"...! Does Your Majesty mean to go personally?"
"That's right. I will go myself. I'm already looking forward to it. He may not be fully ripe yet, but he might be able to serve as a diversion for a while."
