......These past few days have been filled with too many surprises.
Thanks to [Twisted Noble's Dignity], Theo was able to maintain a composed demeanor.
He bowed his head, looking down at Luna, who had buried her face in his abdomen.
"What's the matter, Principal?"
"Why have you come only now..."
However, Luna did not hear Theo's question, instead burying her face even deeper into his stomach.
My child...... As much as one may favor women, touching a child who is barely 10 years old is not quite right...... I have left my legacy to a beast, being too focused on the fact that we can communicate. As they say 'Do not teach the unworthy'......
Contempt was brimming in Nay's voice.
Theo sighed internally and responded,
That's not it, Nay. This person is the principal of our academy, who is estimated to be over 400 years old. A member of the fairy folk.
Then, when Theo was trying to detach the principal,
"Hey, what's this! Hey, kid! Aren't you going to let go?!"
Siena appeared at the end of the hallway and rushed over, trying to pull Luna away from Theo.
"Ah, this is really! So unbelievably strong! Swoosh-swoosh, help me!"
Only after using a high-tier wind spirit could Siena manage to separate Luna from Theo.
Siena approached Theo.
"Theo, what's suddenly happened? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Siena said this while groping around Theo's body.
"Mm~ It doesn't look like you're hurt anywhere. Hehe. But then again, you never know. That kid is incredibly strong."
Siena muttered as she continued to feel around Theo's body.
Theo laughed, finding her blatantly obvious actions absurd.
"I'm not hurt. The principal didn't hug me that tightly."
"Why did she suddenly hug you? After playing with the spirits for days, it looks like the kid has gone a bit odd."
Siena narrowed her eyes and looked at Luna.
Luna, who had been staring at Theo with a vacant look, finally snapped out of it, rubbing her eyes.
"......What's this, it's the polite kid I saw a few days ago. I thought you were Ryuk."
"You must have been very tired. I am Theo Lyn Waldeurk, a first-year student at the Hero Department, Principal."
"......Hmm. I'm sure I felt Ryuk's energy. And the height is similar too. But the appearance, um...... definitely different. Ryuk is ugly. And his eyes are slanted."
Luna tilted her head in confusion.
Siena looked at Luna with her arms crossed, standing next to Theo.
"Hey, kid. You seem sleepy? It's bedtime for children, so go brush your teeth and get to bed. This man is not someone named Ryuk; he's Theo. And he's the man I will spend the rest of my life with!"
Luna let Siena's words go in one ear and out the other.
"......I was sure it was Ryuk. Ah, yes. Hey. You!"
"Yes, Principal."
Luna pointed at Theo with her finger.
"Come to my office later. I need to find out why you felt like Ryuk to me."
"Understood."
"Make sure to come. Otherwise, I'll come looking for you."
"......Would there be any reason not to?"
Luna roughly nodded her head.
"I'm going to go now. Like that ugly eared one said, I feel a bit sleepy."
"Hehe, that's not something you'd expect to hear from a fairy. Hurry off to bed with your pillow, little one."
"I was going to go without you saying. I feel strange. It's been a long time since I've felt like this......"
With that, Luna disappeared down the corridor.

Theo stepped outside of the principal's office building with Siena still clinging to his arm.
"Give me some space, Siena. I'm tired."
"Hehe, no way. It's been so long. I'm going to make up for everything today."
Theo sighed.
'There's no point in saying anything.'
With that thought, Theo arrived at the carriage station with his arm linked with Siena's.
Then, Nay whispered,
Child. Who exactly is this elf that is arm in arm with you now?
She's a Wood Elf Princess from the Great Forest, and a fellow student in the Hero Department.
I see......
What is it, Nay?
She appears to be an excellent spirit mage. There are two high-tier spirits of different attributes by her side.
From his experiences so far, Nay's senses were remarkably sharp.
Theo asked Siena,
"Siena. Have you acquired a new type of spirit?"
"Oh, Theo. How did you know? I've recently become friends with the water spirits."
"......Is that so."
"Yes. Say hello, Theo. This is Pong-pong. Pong-pong, say hi. This is Theo. He's my hero."
'Pong-pong...... It must be a high-tier water attribute spirit, judging by the name.'
Even to Theo, who had low affinity with spirits, high-tier spirits were faintly visible.
Siena furrowed her brows.
"What's with you, Theo? Pong-pong is so happy, and you're acting like this. Isn't that too cold?"
Instead of replying to Siena, Theo asked Nay,
Nay. Is the high-tier water spirit by Siena's side happy?
Indeed. Child, do you not see it? Though spirits don't have a gender, it appears as a girl.
Yes. My affinity with spirits is low, so I can only feel its presence. If it were a mid-level spirit, I probably wouldn't have felt it at all.
It's a pity you cannot see. It looks quite cute......
Hearing that, Theo roughly nodded his head towards the area where the spirit could be faintly seen.
In the midst of this, Siena opened her mouth.
"But Theo. Like the kid said earlier, your energy seems a bit different."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah. Like a sword master, perhaps? You seem stronger."
"I'll take that as a compliment."
"Hehe, of course, it's a compliment. I've never met anyone stronger than a sword master in my life, you know?"
Siena said this and snuggled deeper into Theo, making a nasal sound.
"I like strong men~ Of course, even if Theo isn't strong, I'll make him strong~ Hehehe."
"......I appreciate the thought."
"Hehe, what do you mean by that? I'm not just saying that, you know?"
Siena looked at Theo with sparkling eyes.
Theo calmly met her gaze.
'......There's no madness like that of clear eyes.'
But for some reason, he felt warm inside.
Thus, Theo arrived at the dormitory with Siena still arm in arm with him, even inside the carriage that they took shortly after.

Theo arrived at the dormitory.
For some reason, Amy had arrived first.
Theo ate the food she had prepared for him, then immediately began his Qi training.
"Hoooooo......"
Theo opened the window and focused on the sound of the wind.
But for some reason, he couldn't concentrate.
Nay immediately scolded him.
Concentrate, you fool! Your mind is out in the fields! Ah, tsk tsk...... This is why men need to cut ties with the secular world when they train. After meeting countless girls, your mind is fluttering, isn't it!
That's not it, Nay. It's just that my concentration is off due to overexertion the day before.
Tch! You could come up with a hundred more excuses like that! Quietly focus on the sound of the wind and the Qi flowing within your body.
Yes, yes. Understood.
......And so, under Nay's strict supervision, Theo immersed himself in Qi training for about five hours.

Inside [Ford Company], located in the northern magic city.
Oswald, Maitri's action team leader and right-hand man, exploded in anger.
"Damn it! Why isn't the approval for attacking Elinia Academy coming through!"
Thomas, Maitri's strategist and left hand, who was sitting opposite him, spoke up.
"Maitri has judged it dangerous to proceed with the mission due to the emergence of the variable called Lunaplora."
Having felt the terror of Principal Lunaplora themselves, even the enraged Oswald couldn't argue further.
Instead, he could only pound the desk in anger.
"Ah, aaaaah! Damn it! Ah, I have to go kill that silver-haired bastard myself! Ask for permission to attack Elinia Academy!"
Thomas watched Oswald's tantrum calmly and then remarked tersely,
"Do you want to kill him that badly, Oswald?"
"Hey, you damn fool. Is that even a question? I want to grind him up before me right now!"
"......Attacking Elinia Academy may be difficult, but there's another way. A method to pressure Theo Lyn Waldeurk."
Oswald, who had suddenly become docile, asked back.
"What is it?"
"Try gently prodding the Waldeurk family's territory, Polaris."
Oswald became angry again.
"Hey, you bastard. Who do you take me for? Didn't you tell me not to touch them since the head of the Waldeurk family was having positive discussions with our bosses last time?"
Thomas said with a sly smile.
"If we don't get caught, that's the end of it. It only becomes a problem if we're caught."
He continued.
"And when have we ever been concerned about such details? Right now, there's only one thing that's important to both Oswald and me. That is to pressure Theo Lyn Waldeurk."
