-1240- Somewhat unremarkable

////Sorry didn't updated yesterday, no electricity the whole day.... couldn't do anything and hot af....////

Actually, Shinguji Kurono wants Rozen to train both Stella Vermillion and Kurogane Ikki, not just because of what Saikyo Nene said.

Seeing that Rozen was not convinced and remained indifferent, Shinguji Kurono took another puff of smoke, pondered for a moment, and then spoke again.

"What do you think of Stella Vermillion?"

Shinguji Kurono suddenly asked this question without any reason.

This made Rozen slightly surprised.

Then...

"Boundless potential."

Rozen expressed his thoughts without hesitation.

Yes.

Boundless potential.

Stella's future is highly anticipated.

Believe it or not, others definitely think the same.

After all...

"Magic is the power to fulfill destiny. The stronger the magic, the heavier the inherent destiny of the person, and the greater the impact they can have on the world."

Shinguji Kurono spoke solemnly.

"Having powerful magic means that in the future, this person will inevitably have a huge impact on this planet. Even if this impact may not necessarily be good, Stella Vermillion, as an individual with the strongest magic, is destined for greatness."

This has been said before; anyone with powerful magic, whether good or bad, will leave a significant mark on history, either as a great hero or a great villain.

And someone like Stella, with unparalleled magic, will inevitably have a greater impact on this planet than anyone else in history.

This is also why Rozen believes in Stella's boundless future.

Regardless, Stella's future is extraordinary, that much is certain.

However...

"Despite having such a significant destiny, her ability to manipulate fire, a natural interference type, isn't it somewhat ordinary considering the weight of Stella Vermillion's future?"

Shinguji Kurono's words made Rozen's eyes flicker slightly, and he fell silent.

Shinguji Kurono's meaning is actually quite simple.

"Manipulating fire is a decent ability, but considering the weight of Stella Vermillion's future destiny, to be honest, this ability is still somewhat unremarkable."

Shinguji Kurono said this as if talking to himself.

"Considering the princess's magic, even if she had more powerful and rare abilities, it wouldn't be surprising, right?"

Perhaps this is just Shinguji Kurono's own presumptuous thought.

At least, Saikyo Nene doesn't seem to think so. After hearing Shinguji Kurono's words, her face showed some surprise, but she began to ponder.

It seems that no one has thought about this question before, including Shinguji Kurono, who probably hasn't considered it before.

But...

"Last time, when you fought here, I clearly saw it, Rorelai."

Shinguji Kurono looked at Rozen intently, a smile appearing on her face.

"I saw an expression on your face when Vermillion attacked you with all her might."

What expression?

Very simple.

"Surprise."

Shinguji Kurono stared at Rozen closely and said so.

"At that moment, after enduring Vermillion's full-strength attack, you did show a moment of surprise."

It was from that moment on that Shinguji Kurono began to suspect.

Suspect the secret behind Stella's ability, what it might be.

This secret, not only known to others, but also likely unknown to Stella herself.

However, it was Rozen who discovered this secret in that moment.

"I'm right, aren't I?"

Shinguji Kurono said extremely confidently.

Rozen remained silent, until a moment later, he shrugged as if conceding.

"Your perception is quite keen."

Rozen admitted to this.

Indeed.

The first time he fought Stella here and saw her use her ability, Rozen did show a moment of surprise.

Because Rozen discovered that Stella's ability hides an astonishing secret.

This secret, perhaps only Rozen can uncover.

Apart from Rozen, there probably isn't a second person in this world who can discover this. We can only wait for Stella herself to slowly discover it and reveal it, so that the world can know just how terrifying the power of this princess truly is.

Shinguji Kurono noticed Rozen's anomaly at that time.

Therefore, Shinguji Kurono wanted to entrust Rozen to train Stella Vermillion and Ikki.

"Although I don't know your true strength, just the fact that you can discover Vermillion's secret means you have the ability to help her uncover her true power."

Shinguji Kurono revealed her true reason for entrusting Rozen.

"As for Kurogane, I believe you can help him too."

With that in mind, Shinguji Kurono wanted to entrust the futures of Ikki and Stella to Rozen.

"You really think highly of me."

Rozen smirked but didn't outright refuse.

After all, with Rozen's current abilities, taking on two disciples is a simple matter.

In terms of strength, Rozen is unmatched in this world.

In terms of knowledge, Rozen's magical knowledge is practically endless.

Skills, techniques, qualifications, abilities—Rozen has them all.

Plus, Rozen indeed has the power to guide Ikki and Stella's growth. In a way, it's effortless for him.

At least, Shinguji Kurono helped Rozen enter the school without forcing him to participate in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, which left a good impression on Rozen.

Given this, Rozen didn't want to reject Shinguji Kurono's request without regard for her feelings.

Moreover...

"Ikki and the princess are indeed rare talents."

After experiencing ten years of wandering and honing himself, Rozen has gradually moved away from his closed self-training mentality of the past and has developed a spirit of mentoring and nurturing talents, somewhat like Scathach.

So, seeing Ikki and Stella both striving to improve for their goals, Rozen couldn't help but want to help them.

This is also one of the signs of Rozen's growing maturity and life experience.

"How about it? Can you accept it?"

Shinguji Kurono asked again.

"Let me see your cool side."

Saikyo Nene seemed somewhat nonchalant.

Rozen looked at this duo, who are significant in various ways, met their gaze, and scratched his nose.

"Alright."

In the end, Rozen agreed.

...

Recalling what happened in the Student Council room, Rozen scratched his head.

"Now that I've taken it on, I should find some time to have a proper talk with Kurogane and the princess."

With that thought, Rozen headed towards his dormitory.

Soon, Rozen returned to the first-year student dormitory and arrived at room 405.

"Huh?"

Just as Rozen was about to open the door, he noticed something unusual.

"Wait..."

"Mm..."

Strange noises and movements came from the room, and even the door was only slightly ajar, not fully closed.

"What's going on?"

Rozen pushed the door open with suspicion.

The next moment, the scene that appeared before him left Rozen stunned on the spot, unable to move.
