At the gates of the academy, a strange silence followed as everyone looked at Marius who took out a familiar item.

"I came with the invitations of one of your instructors; look clearly, the token here should be more than enough proof."

Marius said as he took out the red token with a sword and the shield, tossing it towards Lawrence, who had his mouth opened wide in alarm.

The instant his arm caught hold of it, they started to tremble as he could see that it was in no way a fraud item. Knowing full well of the class of instructor who could give out such a token, sweat rolled down his cheeks as he swallowed his spit, trying to find an excuse.

The others who saw his change showed mocking expressions as they whispered amongst themselves.

"Huhu... it looks like this devil finally had his time."

"Hehe, serves him right, who gave him the right to provoke just anyone. I say that they should kick him out this time."

A few guards who remained dissatisfied with Lawrence's performance over the years jeered at his current predicament. Marius, on the other hand, only walked over with his family with a look of ease.

Not knowing when Marius had arrived in front of him, Lawrence jumped back in fright when Marius's hand took away the token without him noticing, as he spoke in a calm and cold tone.

"So, what now? Should I make a formal report about your misconduct?"

"That... I I..."

Lawrence tried to say something as he heard Marius's words, but before he could finish his statement, Marius snorted, no longer paying him any mind as he brushed by his shoulder, walking towards a different guard.

"Excuse me, but I have received this token from an instructor here; he wanted to recruit my son and told me to show this token at the gate."

The guard's face was bright when he heard Marius's words, even more so as he saw the symbols on the token, clearly signifying that it was of high level.

"Of course-of course, this humble one would be hindered to guide you to the Superior Instructor. Please, follow me."

Following the guard's words, Marius and his family followed along in silence as they observed more of the academy's sights.

When Lawrence saw this, he sighed in relief, feeling as if he dodged a bullet, but sadly for him, the moment didn't last long as Marius's voice sounded in his ears.

"You better not think it's over; you should expect to hear from your superiors."

Lawrence gulped at those words; he turned around, hoping to convince Marius otherwise. Still, sadly, he could only watch as the bright-faced guard escorted Marius and his family towards the central parts of the academy.

"Haha, Old Lawrence, look like you kicked the Iron Sheet this time; good luck keeping your post!"

"Chin up; I'm sure with your skills, you'll be able to get work in no time, even if it's outside of the academy."

A few others said as he mocked Lawrence while heading off to their posts. Lawrence trembled at those words pushing down his embarrassment. Soon, his eyes shone in a dark ray as his entirety became filled with rage. He glared at the direction Marius left with his fist clenched tightly while thinking to himself.

'You bastard, mark my words, this matter isn't over!'

Lawrence left his post with a vicious glint in his eyes as he hurriedly moved towards a separate part of the campus, ignoring everyone else around him.

Now a distance away from the gates, Marius, Ria, Grevlin, and Little Rose had arrived at the academy's central square.

There were tall square-shaped pillars that flowed at the edge of a gravel path, reaching towards a fountain with a statue of a man in armor. A small crowd gathered around it, mostly of young girls and boys who listened to the blond-haired woman who spoke of tales. She had long eyelashes, bright blue watery eyes, and elf length ears, garbed in a blue magician robe that flapped with the gentle winds, showing her slender long legs.

"Now listen here, young ones, the statue here is none other than the memory of our past founder. A famous warrior of the Royal Knights during the old era, when he retired, it's said that he settled down in Ivanov and formed our academy based on an appointment from the emperor himself. It's also said that..."

While the beauty chatted away with a soft, enchanting voice, the young boys and girls that stood before the statue had looks of excitement on their faces, even more so as they listened to the gorgeous lady.

Ria gave Marius a sharp look from the corners of her eyes before she looked at the woman with a hint of wonder as this was the first female, she had seen with such an appearance. Her beauty was second to none, and she could be considered the second most beautiful woman if compared to her.

"Honey, it looks like you've found your first harem candidate, just like those heroes from that old cartoon of yours."

When Marius heard Ria's words, he started to sweat, knowing full well why she said that, with utmost power. He didn't dare to stare too intently at the blond beauty, keeping his eyes fixed ahead of him, his manner akin to a professional soldier in the camping grounds.

Yet, it didn't stop him from cursing in his mind, 'It's anime!'

The person who escorted the family didn't seem to notice the subtle gunpower that stirred the air. Instead, he leads them while speaking on and on about the surroundings.

"Ah, Sir Edgewick, and Miss Edgewick, I see that you've noticed Miss Juliana; she's our most beautiful instructor and strongest of all the women within our academy. Haha, if your son is lucky enough, he might just be able to be taught a thing or two by her one of these days."

"Haha, you jest, my son will be too busy training with his other instructor to be guided by her."

Marius said while scratching the back of his head, not daring to say more as he could feel a tinge of flames from nearby him. The escort said nothing, he had a smirk on his face as if he knew things differently.

Little Rose looked around with an adorable expression, staring at Juliana, whom they were now passing by; even Grevlin couldn't help but look at her with a somewhat interested gaze.

"Mama, that lady is pretty."

Little Rose said with beaming eyes as she stared at Juliana from her mother's arms. Ria didn't seem to mind her daughter's words; she rubbed her cheek with her finger as she spoke.

"Isn't that right, my Little Rosey? Look, even your father is dazed."

Ria said as she hinted towards Marius with her eyes; Little Rose gave Marius a look, noticing that he was currently tense like a soldier at attention. He said nothing; he saw nothing.

Little Rose made an innocent smile as she spoke strange words, "But, mama is the prettiest!"

"Hehe, as expected, my daughter is the best in the world."

Ria said, feeling happy as she coaxed Little Rose in her arms, Marius seeing his daughter diffuse the time bomb sighed in relief; he gave his daughter a good look while thinking to himself.

'I don't know if getting married was a blessing or a curse. But for now, at least my daughter is still on my side.'

Grevlin sent his parents a look and shook his head with a sigh; he didn't say anything as he knew it wasn't his place to do so. Instead, his attention was on a different field where children his age and older were running about with wooden swords.

Unlike the family, however, Juliana, who addressed the students, naturally sensed when people looked at her; she halted her discussion and stared in the family's direction with surprise.

The escort who had been guiding Marius couldn't help but sigh as he saw this while thinking to himself, 'Oh crap, here we go again...'

Instantly, her eyes fell onto the small and adorable figure of Little Rose in Ria's embrace, causing her body to shiver as a startling transformation had occurred.
