Chapter 12: [The Seed Planted by Princess Arya] - (2)
At my request, not only Princess Arya, but also King Loius had expressions of surprise.
It was inevitable because I didn't look strong at all when they saw me.
'Even if I go to the academy as a Magical Awakener, there is a difference in level.'
The heroines of the original work and Seo Mun-hyeon were at the top level among the academy students, and they did not fall even compared to those who had the title of 'hero' as active players.
Of course, it is rare for academy students to be at that level, but the generation of protagonists was just the golden generation.
Even if there were dozens of normal academy students, they couldn't compete with those at the top.
'I'm assuming that my level is at that level.'
Dark hair would have fueled such suspicion.
Is there a bad perception of dark hair among magic awakeners?
Except for special cases, those who have awakened their magical powers have had unusual hair colors since they were born, unless they were incompetent or powerful magically awakened people.
An example of this was that all members of the Seomun family were born with blue hair and blue eyes.
"I'm fine. [Father, would it be okay if I invite this person to my training room?]"
Contrary to her innocent, pitiful and well-behaved appearance, Princess Aria, who likes to increase her strength as a Magic Awakener, seemed to be welcoming my proposal.
Princess Arya asked if she could invite me to the training room right away. She asked King Loius in Liberin.
The training room, befitting a place where magic awakeners trained, was able to block the aftermath of the magic awakeners' fight thanks to various protective devices, so it was a good place to engage in sparring.
'Even in Korean, I didn't say 'Abamama', but 'Father'.'
In her original work, when Princess Arya lightly recalled her title for her father, King Loius, King Loius nodded her head.
"It's your training room, so you can do whatever you want. Aria."
When King Loius gave permission, Princess Arya stood up from her seat.
I too put on a mask and hood and stood up.
'King Loius. It looks like Arya and I are looking forward to building a relationship.'
It seems that he took me, but he didn't seem to have any intention of forcing Arya.
I was just hoping, naturally, that my heart would tilt.
'Aria will be my wife too, so that wish will come true.'
She certainly wouldn't be her only wife.
Because she was going to make all the heroines abandoned by Seo Moon-hyeon in her original work my woman, not just her.
* * *
The training room dedicated to the princesses of the Riverin Kingdom was located a bit far from the reception room.
While she was moving, there were royal knights who came to escort Princess Arya, but Princess Arya bit them all and entered her training room alone with me.
It could be said that I was defenseless, but my status as the successor of the Yuchun Group was a sure guarantee.
If the successor of the Yuchun Group kidnapped the princess, the world economy would fluctuate, and the Yuchun Group would come under legitimate pressure from the Riverin Kingdom.
'In other words, that means nonsense.'
There was also the belief that the world's largest corporation could not commit a grand suicide while doing such a stupid thing, and the confidence in her own skills as her princess Arya.
In addition, the barrier built inside the royal castle would also recognize the king or his successor as the owner in case of emergency, and take measures to protect them in case of harm.
Kiik-
That's why Princess Aria closed the door to her training room without hesitation.
"You can take off your mask now."
"Okay, Arya."
As I removed her mask, she opened her pink eyes slightly wide, which seemed oddly reminiscent of a rabbit.
"Did you call me Aria?"
"Yes. Arya came all the way here to fulfill my request, so shouldn't I show her sincerity as well?"
"Hehe~ What is that~ Then can we quit sparring like this?"
Princess Aria asks with a playful smile… No, she answered Arya.
"Well, then you can call me Princess Arya again."
"Then we should start right away to prevent that from happening."
As Arya said that, she took out a rapier-like sword that was hanging on the wall of the training room and held it in her hand.
Although the rapier was originally a combat sword specialized in piercing, it had a weakness that it could not be effective against armored opponents.
However, it was definitely possible to cut, and the fact that it was specialized in stabbing and that only the blade was over 1 meter long became an advantage in the era of magic awakeners.
'It's just like the original.'
In her original work, Arya's primary weapon was a rapier.
That rapier also had decent performance, befitting a sword used by a princess for being in the training room, but it was completely different from the weapon Arya brought with her when she entered the academy at the time of the main story.
It was only natural that the sword hanging in her training room could not be the same as the sword that the princess went abroad to use as her main weapon.
"Now, Mr. Seo Moon-chun, take out your weapon. There are many types of weapons in the weapon storage over there, so choose the one that suits you and use it."
There was no way she would be able to come in with a weapon when she met the King of the Riverin Kingdom, so Aria, naturally thinking that I wouldn't have a weapon, pointed to the weapon locker in the training room and said,
There, as well as various types of swords and spears, various weapons were displayed.
That weapon cache was clearly intended for Arya, who wanted to gain experience dealing with different types of weapons by forcing her opponents to use different types of weapons.
'There was something similar in the preface family.'
I couldn't even touch it because I couldn't awaken my magical power, but I had a memory of seeing it before I was kicked out.
And now I don't need those weapons.
"It's okay without it. Arya, my bare hands are enough for me."
"…Are you okay?"
The use of bare hands rather than weapons was, of course, more disadvantageous than using weapons, unless it was a very special case.
Even if he used mana, there was also a problem of distance, and the fact that a direct blow to the body was applied when colliding with a weapon was also the same.
There were some people who developed their abilities by focusing on fighting with their bare hands, leaving that issue aside, but they were a very small minority, and they could only demonstrate their strength properly after they had accumulated some skills.
"No problem. Arya, it will be impossible for you to hurt me with your skills."
Did my words sound like a provocation?
Arya's expression turned serious.
"Are you serious about that?"
"Yes."
Aria usually has a soft smile on her innocent and pretty appearance, but she is surprisingly playful, and she has a personality that pursues strength.
And she also had a secretly proud side, unlike her appearance.
"Then I don't know if you get hurt. You agree?"
"That's not going to happen, but if it hurts, I'll give you 1% of the market capitalization of Yuchun Group's stock."
1% of the shares of Yuchun Group, which is worth more than 3 trillion won, was 30 trillion won.
No matter how advanced and wealthy the Kingdom of Riverin was, it was too large a sum to be overlooked.
"I'll trust you to protect those words."
Since her national interest was at stake, Arya showed a more serious attitude.
But her attire hadn't changed, so that her white thighs seemed to stand out more through the open skirt at her side.
"Yes, come."
As soon as my words ran out, Princess Arya thrust out her sword as it were.
Support position-
At the same time, it was seen that her sword was imbued with magic and the aura of her thunderbolt.
'That's it.'
Arya Riverin.
Her main attributes were those of light and lightning.
Even now, she attacks while handling the energy of lightning, but later she used to show off the level of power that controls real lightning.
In terms of combat power, she is not a heroine for nothing.
"Then let's go!"
Notifying me of an attack, I evaded the attack by lightly moving my feet.
I had no intention of unleashing overwhelming power in this sparring.
The method to show the overwhelming power that is unknown to the end was the method used by sewage.
Instead of using magical powers to show the overwhelming difference in rank, I lightly evaded her attacks with light movements.
I took off my mask, but I was still wearing a hooded robe, and I was dodging all of Arya's attacks with ease so that her attacks wouldn't even touch my robe.
"You're fast!"
Arya's attacks became even more fierce, perhaps because she felt that my skills were never lower than hers, as no attack could work against me.
The attack that came quickly like a flash war would be fierce for peers.
Especially when dealing with Arya, dodging an attack behind her was tantamount to suicidal.
Wow!
As she stabbed her sword and I avoided the attack to the side, a sharp, arrow-like, pure white ray of light stretched out in a straight line from where I was.
And the light beam that hit the wall faded, but because the walls of this training room were specially treated, it just faded away, and I knew what kind of power it was outside.
It penetrated the human body lightly and even exploded at the same time, so its power could not be underestimated.
Among the top ranks of the academy at the time of the main story, the person who belongs to the top along with Ye Eun-chae in her attack power is Aria Riverin, and in terms of her penetration power, she surpasses even Ye Eun-chae, who boasts powerful attack power with her overwhelming physical ability.
"The ability is strong, but you are still immature."
However, from what I see now, she was much more immature than the main story.
Preface Minhye, who grew up under the influence of my teaching little by little, is also a year younger than her, but she is stronger than her.
"I'll go with full force."
Arya, whose face hardened at my words, was seen imbuing her sword with a more powerful aura of thunder and at the same time imbuing her sword with an aura of light.
'If I become too strong, I won't be able to lift Seo Moon-hyeon happily, so it's difficult, but I need to teach him a little bit.'
It was only a little bit anyway.
Thinking so, I approached Arya in an instant and slapped her hand lightly.
"Ouch!"
I secretly infiltrated her magic power and released the power contained in Arya's hands.
"It is done."
Aria's pink eyes trembled in shock at such a one-sided defeat.
"It's… Strong."
"No. Arya was immature. If she had known how, Arya would have been able to win against the power I showed just now."
At my words, Arya's pink eyes lit up with curiosity and longing.
The bait I threw at her, her longing to be strong, was an irresistible temptation.
