-1359- Don't disappoint me

Edelweiss's concerns are not unfounded.

To those aware of Edelweiss's unique attitude towards Rozen and their shared history, the moment Rozen displays multiple abilities, his identity will be nearly impossible to conceal.

To date, the only individual capable of displaying multiple abilities is the world's strongest Blazer, Tenkai.

Furthermore, everyone already knows Edelweiss is Twin-Wings herself, and that she has a ten-year history with Tenkai, which has led her to continuously search for his whereabouts.

Now, Edelweiss's attitude towards Rozen is enough to raise suspicion.

Under such circumstances, if Rozen reveals his multiple abilities, it will be impossible to hide the fact that he is Tenkai.

At that point, the consequences could be dire.

"Now that you've revealed your true appearance and real name to others, once it's exposed that you are Tenkai, you'll lose your mystique. Even if the three major powers don't act against you, it's hard to guarantee they won't scheme in the shadows, potentially leading to the same outcome as before."

Edelweiss is deeply worried about this.

And this is no exaggeration.

Given the multi-ability Rozen has displayed and the potential of multiple Devices, any ambitious power wouldn't overlook such an asset.

If Rozen's true appearance and real name are exposed, the fallout could be extensive.

For instance, Hagun Academy might get implicated, not to mention those who are close to Rozen.

Worse still, even the Kurogane family and the Vermillion Empire could get involved, causing a massive chain reaction.

Should that happen, Rozen might find himself once again standing against the world, facing betrayal and sacrifice from friends and family alike, which is something he absolutely cannot bear.

It's because of this that Edelweiss has not exposed her relationship with Rozen in front of others and prefers to keep it hidden.

As long as she can continue spending time with him as they did before, being together all the time, Edelweiss is content.

Who could have thought that Rozen would reveal his multiple abilities himself?

In others' eyes, Rozen's abilities were always seen as being able to manipulate concepts like "Sealing." This ability might impose weights on people and restrict the flow of mana, but it couldn't possibly summon powerful golems.

Therefore, people will inevitably have doubts, which would make it impossible for Rozen's true identity to remain hidden.

This is definitely not a good thing.

If it were the Rozen of the past, he would never have overlooked such a matter and would have taken precautions to avoid unnecessary suspicion by refraining from displaying multiple abilities so easily.

But now...

"Relax, I can claim that these golems were created using the abilities of powerful Blazers who once opposed me, and I imprisoned them in an invisible alternate space with my 'Sealing' ability, later learning to control them and turning them into obedient weapons at my command."

Rozen said nonchalantly.

"Besides, even if my identity is exposed, I believe they won't recklessly reveal it. They are prudent and upright, and they wouldn't want to see the three major powers mobilize their forces to start a war or see me being targeted. You can rest easy."

Rozen believed this.

Furthermore...

"Even in the worst-case scenario, I will find a way to make the three major powers behave and not dare act rashly."

Rozen then turned his head, took Edelweiss's hand, and squeezed it.

"Trust me."

Rozen said this.

Just as Stella once said, Rozen needed to take responsibility, use his intelligence and wisdom to strive for what he wanted, and apply them where they were needed.

Now, Rozen no longer only considered how to prevent incidents from occurring, but even if they did happen, he aimed to resolve them perfectly and have them under his control.

Only then could there be true completeness.

With such a mindset, Rozen's Mind's Eye could also reach the realm of perfection and achieve the highest state.

Edelweiss gazed at Rozen like this, her eyes subtly showing a trace of immersion that had never appeared before.

Immersed in Rozen's confident smile and demeanor.

If the past Rozen was merely attractive in appearance and charming, now he displayed undeniable personal and charismatic appeal, making him mesmerizing.

"You... have really changed..."

Edelweiss could only say this.

"Really?" Rozen chuckled and said, "Do you like it?"

"...." Edelweiss, for once, blushed and lowered her head.

"Come on, tell me, do you like it?" Rozen displayed a playful attitude, pursuing the question as he used to.

"I..." Edelweiss was shy from Rozen's pursuit but still couldn't say the words.

In the end, Edelweiss had to cough lightly, quickly calm her emotions, and change the subject.

"After this special training, those kids' abilities should improve significantly, right?"

Edelweiss intentionally diverted the topic.

Rozen, finding it amusing, didn't tease the unexpectedly adorable Valkyrie further. He nodded, going along with her topic.

"Once they fully adapt to this type of combat and remove the rune restrictions, their physical abilities, mana control, and combat skills will all advance to a new level. I will also gradually increase the difficulty, making them accustomed to fighting under disadvantageous conditions. By then, they will undoubtedly astonish everyone."

For this, Rozen didn't mind playing the role of a devil instructor.

Since coming to this world, Rozen felt he was becoming more like Scáthach, loving talent, enjoying training others, and watching them grow stronger.

The difference was that Scáthach's love for talent was to nurture someone capable of killing her, while Rozen's love for talent was purely to see others' potential flourish.

"Then this afternoon, I'll thoroughly check their training results."

Edelweiss nodded, really like Rozen's assistant.

And next...

"I can't just watch; I also need to put in a good effort."

Rozen stroked the brilliant ring on his right hand.

If it's true as Altera said that he hasn't awakened the true power of the "Miracle," then Rozen's next effort direction is obvious.

That is, to begin researching the "Miracle" and unleash its true capabilities.

Once accomplished, Rozen had a premonition that he would ascend to an unimaginable height.

That height might surpass even entities like the Root.

Thinking about it, Rozen couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and enthusiasm akin to when he first started learning magic.

"Don't disappoint me."

Starting from this day, Rozen finally realized his true strength and prepared to take a step forward.

This was the first step for Rozen to surpass everything.
