Chapter 186

RMSBS - Episode 186 . Enlightenment (2)

In the early morning, one girl was training alone in the wind attribute training ground .

Romantica Eru .  

Around her were ten plates of iron in a loose circle formation .

Romantica reached her hand out . As a breeze blew, the iron plates floated in the air .

She then flicked her finger and the iron plates started rotating around her at a steady speed .

Romantica bit her lip, adjusting the atmospheric pressure .

One particular scene came to mind as she did so .

It was the battle against the homunculus at Jormungand Citadel .

Her colleagues faced one crisis after another .

Pram fell, Adjest collapsed, and Desir ended up in critical condition .

‘I couldn’t do anything at all . ’

Even though she cast her spells non-stop, against a creature as powerful as the homunculus, she was useless .

Putting her all into a single strike only served to make the homunculus falter for a single move . Her frantic efforts barely amounted to anything at all .

‘It’s awfully pathetic . ’

She couldn’t do anything when her colleagues, her friends, were in danger .

But she was no longer able to bear being so powerless . She couldn’t help choking up slightly, recalling that battle .

There was a distinct clang of iron .

The moment Romantica clenched her hands, all of the iron plates began to crumple into the shape of balls .

The sound of iron plates being crushed by increased atmospheric pressure filled the training ground and created an unholy cacophony .

Considering the fact that doing this to just one plate was too much for her a year ago, it was an incredible improvement .

Yet still, Romantica anguished .

‘I am merely a Third-Circle . ’

Romantica reached the Third-Circle a year ago, and hadn’t had any significant progress since .

Still, it took astounding talent and dedication to achieve that much that quickly .

In the Hebrion Academy, where talented people gathered from across the entire continent, it was usual for most to only reach the Third-Circle just before graduating .

But Romantica remained unconceited .

This was not because she was modest .

‘Adjest Kingscrown . ’

Magic and swordsmanship . A true genius who had significant talent in both . There was nobody who could be conceited while standing next to Adjest .

A girl with much more overwhelming talent than anyone else .

After gaining her new weapon, the Center of Ice, she would be nearing the most elite individuals on the continent, let alone almost all of the professors at the academy .

‘How come I’m… ’

Adjest, who would swing her sword, causing her flowing white-blond hair to whip behind her, looked so dazzling that Romantica felt she couldn’t even look at her directly . She was the Sun .

Whenever Romantica felt that dazzling sensation, her darkness only deepened .

‘I want to be strong . ’

I want to be strong .

She eagerly wanted it .

But the deeper she thought about it, the darker she felt . She felt like she was in a free-fall of despair .

*Boom*

A blast echoed abruptly in the calm training ground . It was the iron plates exploding and scraps of iron falling to the ground .

Romantica fell onto the ground, her hair swept back by the blast .

It took her a moment to conclude that the explosion was caused by her subconsciously injecting an excessive amount of mana .

“… Annoying . ”

Romantica looked up at the sky while lying on the ground .

The Sun was shining gloriously in the clear sky, without a cloud in sight .



She stretched her hand out towards the Sun .

Understandably, she couldn’t reach it . The Sun was so high up that she couldn’t reach it no matter how far she stretched .

Summer in Dresden was hot and humid .

The Hebrion Academy returned to normal . Classes were boring, as per usual, and piles of assignments were given .

Students would normally moan about the assignments, but they now seemed strangely excited .

Every time they got together, they chatted about the war between the Allied Forces and the Outsiders .

When it came to the war, they talked about students from the academy who had volunteered to join the military . Of course, Desir Arman was the most popular topic .

It was exceptional for a student to get awarded a Silver Lion medal . They couldn’t help but feel excited about the fact that the hero came from where they attended .


“Did you see the interview? The one from Aylus News with Desir . ”

Whenever they talked about Desir, they also mentioned the interview from Aylus News . The two names went hand in hand; Aylus was the only news company where Desir had been featured publicly .

“I’m not a big fan of the interview though . It’s a fact that the Western Kingdom Union got military aid without any cost, isn’t it?”

“I disagree . Imagine those white flashes landing in Dresden . ”

“Right… It’s a decent strategy in terms of insurance . ”

After Desir’s interview went public, a considerable number of people among those who had opposed the alliance between the Hebrion Empire and the Western Kingdom Union began to change their view .

Desir’s interview wasn’t particularly persuasive enough to change their minds . However, a fair number of people that were against it realized they had no particular reason for being against the alliance . It was just a lingering nationalistic feeling from the time when they were at odds with each other . Convincing someone with an opposing opinion was hard, but swaying those who had no real opinion was comparatively easy .

As soon as Desir had presented a reason to support the alliance, public sentiment shifted drastically .

‘The relationship will improve as time goes by . ’

Desir could now pivot in a different direction as he achieved one of his goals .

He issued summons for his party after class that day .

Students gathered one by one in the Starling Party’s office .

Freechel and Takiran warmly welcomed the party members .



“How have you been everyone?”

“It’s been a while . ”

Freechel and Takiran joined the Starling Party last fall . Their skills were decidedly poor back then . However, they quickly developed after receiving one-on-one instruction from Desir . They could now be assessed as having a decent level of skill .

Following that, there was someone else they were glad to see .

“Brother, sister, it’s been a long time . How have you been?”

“Yes . Long time no see . ”

It was a boy with red hair like blazing flames, Ronde Fizzlebang .

His signature explosion type magic was well known for its outstanding firepower .

In Desir previous life, Ronde quit the academy as a result of his arrogant personality creating a downward spiral of personal problems .

He now was the first year leader of the Starling Party, responsible for leading quite a few people .

‘It’s a good thing he’s doing well . ’

Desir thought it was quite a nice change .

Once all of the party members gathered, they started talking .

“From now on we are going to be doing more practical training . ”

The party members were excited for the new training regime he announced, but anxious at the same time . It was Desir’s training after all .

“If you’re thinking this will be something akin to sparring, you’re sadly mistaken . It’ll be a mock battle that’s as close as possible to reality . It’ll consist of battles between members of the Blue Moon, Red Dragon and Starling parties in rotation . ”

The faces of the first-grade party members paled .

The Starling Party, the Blue Moon Party and the Red Dragon Party were the best in the Hebrion Academy .

The core members of those parties had all achieved great things in the war against the Outsiders . Their battle experience wasn’t comparable to that of first years in the slightest .

They all looked at Desir in despair .

“Ah, don’t worry . The mock battle will be held in the Shadow World for training . You don’t have to worry about dying . The day after the mock battle, we will improve on our shortcomings; the next day, we will study the theory and strategy based on that .

The room instantly filled with a commotion .

The existing training was already quite tough . It was cruel to increase the intensity for students who needed to juggle both their academic schedule and party training .



Someone among the first graders raised their hand before speaking .

“T-That’s too cruel, isn’t it?”

“It cannot be helped because you guys are weak . ”

Weak .

The first years who recently joined the Starling Party did not understand at all .

The Starling Party was the best in the Academy .

“We are the number one party in the Academy though?”

Desir stared at him with frigid eyes .

“Do not mistake the power of the party for your own power . If you were to face them one-on-one, you couldn’t win a battle against the first years of either the Blue Moon Party or the Red Dragon Party .

For getting into the Hebrion Academy, they were already reasonably talented .

Compared to the Blue Moon Party and the Red Dragon Party, which only chose the most talented students, they couldn’t hope to keep up .

‘For now, we will keep losing the mock battles . ’

There was also an easier method . Without this get-tough policy, Desir had ways to help them grow . But Desir preferred this way because they had to grow quickly in a short period of time .

After all, Desir wasn’t aiming to be the number one party at Hebrion Academy .

“It’ll be difficult at first . You’ll keep losing for a while, but I am certain that this will force all of you to grow . ”

Desir was confident that these people would become the core of the Shadow Labyrinth Expedition that would be formed soon .
