Rose and Rin swiftly walked towards Professor Enkin who was standing firmly in the middle of the large training area.
Professor Enkin stared at them intently, observing their every movement and expression. Like the eyes of an owl that saw deep into their souls, he was able to judge the hidden strength and potential that existed in his students.
"Before we move on to the training, I want to talk to you guys, take a seat on the grass," Professor Enkin spoke while sitting on the grass and invited the two of them to sit on the field
Rose and Rin sat on the grass, waiting for Professor Enkin to continue his conversation. Even though they were confused by his request, they still followed his instructions.
"A few days ago, when I went out of school, I heard news that a student was attacked by a High-Level Anomaly."
The two of them who heard Professor Enkin remind him of the incident a few days ago when Bralas was attacked by a High-Level Anomaly, they nodded their heads.
"This school has my powerful magic, and it's impossible for those Anomalous Creatures to enter without destroying the 'Barrier Rule' I created. Do you know how strong my Barrier Rule is?"
Rose raised her hand to answer him, "I heard that the Barrier Rule you created is so strong that you can regulate and prohibit everything related to magic."
"Exactly, I can control the magic around the 'Barrier Rule' I created, in fact I was shocked when I felt the power overflowing inside the 'Barrier Rule' and it turned out that there was a High-Level Anomaly attacking, and the student who was attacked was Bralas."
When Bralas name was spoken, Professor Enkin gaze fell on Rin who was sitting next to Rose. However, Rin seemed as if he didn't feel guilty and sincerely smiled, showing his good nature. Seeing Rin attitude, Professor Enkin turned his gaze forward
"Is there anything you can explain Rin? Lastly, you were the one who had a conflict with Bralas."
"Of course not, Professor. I'm not the type of person who would do harm, especially as I know that my status here is only a commoner," Rin spoke in a very convincing tone
Rose looked at Rin for a moment, then looked back at Professor Enkin.
Professor Enkin nodded his head, "Okay, then we will start the practice."
Even though Professor Enkin decided to not interrogate Rin, that doesn't mean he just believed what he said
Rin and Rose stood up from the grass, dusting off their dirty clothes. They are ready to continue the training which will be led by Professor Enkin. With focus and enthusiasm, they waited for the next order.
"Have you learned to control your Inner Strength with my daughter?"
"Yes, we have—"
Rose, who answered Professor Enkin's question, immediately stopped and opened her eyes wide. Likewise, Rin did not know that Teacher Kaitlyn was Professor Enkin's daughter.
"Ehh!"
"Ehh!"
Both were shocked by the revelation.
"Yes, it's enough for you to know then, because this is training and also a punishment for one day, you will clean the entire school bathroom!"
Hearing this, they both broke out in cold sweat. Then Rose asked worriedly, "W-Wait doesn't this school have 600 bathrooms?"
"That's right," answered Professor Enkin with a cynical smile.
***
Shit!
Rin was mopping and cleaning the floor of the Class 1-A Men's Dormitory bathroom for the first time.
In the women's bathroom next to it, Rose was also cleaning one of the bathroom tubs. He wore a mask because this was the first time a royal had to clean the bathroom. Rose also used padded gloves and a cloth to clean the tub.
Ugh!
Rose with some disgust continued cleaning the bathroom.
Both of them are uncomfortable with the task of cleaning the bathroom, but they are determined to complete this punishment well. This challenge will be a valuable experience for them, teaching them the value of hard work and simplicity, even though they come from different backgrounds.
The two of them continued to clean the bathroom which was usually used by class 1-A students to shower or just urinate. Rin, who was fed up, suddenly slammed the mop on the floor in anger.
"AAAAA!"
"SHUT UP!"
Rose was angry because Rin suddenly shouted for no reason. She was trying to concentrate so as not to feel disgusted by this task, but Rin shouted and disturbed her concentration.
When one of the students from class 1-A came to the men's bathroom, he was surprised to see Rin angry and slamming the floor. He was silent in front of the door, confused by the situation that was happening. At that moment, Rin turned to him and firmly pointed at him.
"GO OUT!" Rin yell
The student immediately ran out of the bathroom with a pounding heart. He felt surprised and a little frightened by Rin angry attitude earlier. He didn't want to make the situation worse, so he chose to leave and give Rin space to complete their task.
On Rose side, she began to carefully clean the glass in the bathroom. Although this task is unpleasant, Rose tries to carry it out with care and attention. She used a clean cloth and cleaning fluid, wiped the window until it was clean and removed any dust stains.
After a while, Rose and Rin came out of the bathroom with relief. They exchanged glances and nodded their heads, indicating that they were ready to move on to their next task. This time, they would go to the Class B, C, D Dormitories and continue cleaning the school's main bathroom.
With steady steps, Rose and Rin walked towards Class B Dormitory. On the way, they talked to each other, gave each other encouragement and shared experiences from previous assignments. They both feel closer and have a strong relationship as teammates.
Arriving at the school main bathroom, they returned to work diligently and thoroughly. This time, they were more accustomed to the task of cleaning the bathroom and could do it more efficiently.
When finished, Rose and Rin looked at the results of their work with pride. The school's main bathroom is clean, tidy and smells good thanks to their hard work. They feel satisfied and happy because they can complete the task well, and also appreciate the meaning of working together to achieve a common goal.
Rin sat in the school corridor with a feeling of lethargy coming over her. He closed his eyes while looking up.
Rin felt the aura approaching and kept his eyes closed, thinking that the aura just belonged to someone passing by. However, immediately, the aura stopped right in front of Rin. Even though his eyes were closed, Rin could feel someone's presence in front of him.
"Rin."
Rin opened his eyes, remembering exactly who had this aura.
"Yeah, what's wrong, Arya?" Rin answered kindly.
That's right, it was Arya Kusuma who was the first person to challenge Rin on her first day at the elite undergraduate school, but now Rin doesn't get anything from Arya like anger from Arya or jealousy.
Arya smiled gently, "I saw you sitting here alone? What happened?"
Rin sighed, then he shared stories about the task of cleaning the bathroom and training with Professor Enkin. After that, Rin looked at Arya with a smile.
"You don't seem angry with me anymore? What's wrong?"
"Oh? Yes... why are we still angry?"
"True... but I want to know the reason you were angry with me on the first day."
"Yes, of course. Who wouldn't be angry? During the school entrance exam, you copied from my paper, and when I was in front of the blackboard, I realized that your ranking was above mine. Who wouldn't be angry?"
Rin chuckled at Arya's explanation, "Oh? Hahahahaha."
"I was angry before, but it's past now. We've gotten past all that and become good friends, right?"
Rin nodded her head.
"Of course. That is in the past, and now we are together as friends who support and respect each other. I am happy to have a friend as good as you."
Rin closed her eyes and began to recall the first moments of coming to school and facing challenges at the Colosseum
"Me? Hmph, even the Commoners themselves don't know who I am?"
"H-Hey! You Commoners! You're back!"
"R. Rin Be my opponent"
"N-No way"
"Hmph, I guess you went crazy when you got hit by my hard punch?"
Suddenly, Arya's voice was heard again as Rin was remembering the previous incident.
"Hey are you okay?"
"Oh! Yes, it is okay."
Then, Rin stood up from her seat and started cleaning her clothes. He felt like refreshing himself after a day full of activities at school.
"Then I'll go first, Arya."
"Okay, I'll wait at the dorm."
Rin quickly walked towards the women's bathroom with the intention of looking for Rose. However, as soon as he entered, Rin was immediately shocked. The bathroom was full of female students changing clothes. The atmosphere busy with conversation suddenly became silent when he saw Rin enter.
Oops...
Rin realized that as a man it was inappropriate for him to enter the women's bathroom.
AAAAAA!!
Those in the toilet shouted, Rin continued running until he left the school building and headed towards the school garden. He felt breathless and his heart was beating fast because of his anxiety and confusion after the incident in the women's bathroom earlier. He felt very embarrassed about his stupid mistake that made him go to a place he wasn't supposed to.
As he reached the park, Rin finally stopped running and found a place to sit near the fountain. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his heartbeat which was still racing fast. He felt annoyed with himself because of his thoughtless actions.
"Yeah… At least I got lucky… Purple Color huh…"
"Hey!" Suddenly, Rin heard a call from someone nearby.
He turned towards the sound, and suddenly a soda can was thrown at him.
Tung!
Rin quickly caught the loud sound of a soda can bottle after it bounced off her face. Then Rin looked at the person who threw the can bottle at her face, it was Rose.
"Why are you running?" Rose asked in surprise, but she immediately walked towards the Vending Machine. She pressed her palm to scan the Vending Machine.
[Remaining balance 270,000!]
[Buy Soda cans for 5,000] (Yes)/(No)
Rose pressed the 'Yes' button on the Vending Machine screen and instantly a soda can appeared in Rose's hand.
Rin took a deep breath before answering,
"Ah, that's just because... I made a mistake in the women's bathroom earlier. I'm really embarrassed."
Hearing Rin's explanation, Rose suddenly laughed and the soda in her mouth even squirted.
"Prftt, Hahahahah."
"Sorry, Rin. I didn't mean to make fun of you. It's just that sometimes things like that can make people laugh. But don't worry, we've all had moments of embarrassment." Rose added as she smiled.
Rin smiled when he heard this.
"By the way, thanks Rose for the drink."
"Yeah no need for thanks, my parents just gave me the Balance."
"Oh? It seems nice to live as a rich person."
Rin seemed jealous, considering that she came from a family with lower economic conditions than Rose. However, he soon smiled back, not wanting to show any envy or discomfort.
"Hmm, it's okay. We can still be friends without thinking about things like that," Rose replied kindly. She didn't want Rin to feel uncomfortable with their different backgrounds.
"Hey Rin, what's your balance?"
"My balance? Hmm, I haven't checked yet, do you have a scanning tool?"
"Yes, there is, but in the dorm room."
The silence between them felt a bit awkward, but Rin finally managed to break the silence.
"I don't know whether it's complicated or instant, using our fingerprint as a Bank Account 'Link'," said Rin.
Rose nodded in agreement, "Yes, actually it's also dangerous if there are traces of our fingerprints and if a bad person sees them, our money will run out... but yes, there is fingerprint cleaner for that."
Rin and Rose laughed after making that comment. They felt more relaxed and comfortable, as if the previous silence had disappeared.
Ring!!
"Oh? Is the school bell over yet?"
"It looks like we have to go back to Professor Enkin. Even though I just cleared from 120/600,"
said Rose while rubbing her neck which felt a little stiff from cleaning the bathroom.
"im only clean 200/600"
Rose was surprised, "200!? Are you crazy? That means we have cleaned 320/600 bathrooms and toilets."
Rin smiled broadly, "I can use a thousand shadows, Hehe~"
Rose who heard this shook her head with a smile, as if she didn't believe Rin's claim.
"Is that so? Then I'm very happy to have a petrifier who can use a thousand shadows." said Rose in a slightly teasing tone, then she walked away from Rin.
Rin chuckled following Rose.

[Dorm Room No.2]
Rose was busy looking for something in her room, while Rin looked around at the scene in her room. The room is full of unique decorations, such as cute dolls, beautiful paintings, and other decorations.
After a while, Rose finally found what she was looking for. He took the tool and placed it on the table.
"Rin, come here and try putting your hand on this 'Finger Print Bank Scan',"
Rin approached the table. He placed his hand on the 'Finger Print Bank Scan' tool, and in an instant, the tool scanned Rin's fingerprints, and brought up a Hologram screen.
[Scanning…]
[Welcome Back R████. Rin]
Rose raised an eyebrow, a little surprised by the writing glitch that blocked Rin's name when using 'Finger Print Bank Scan'
[Remaining Balance xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
However, suddenly an error message appeared indicating that there was no connection with the server.
[Failed Connected to Server!]
[Maintenance!]
Rose pulled the 'Finger Print Bank Scan' from Rin's hand and blew on it while frowning, "Huff~, this has never happened before…"
"Maybe it was damaged due to exposure to dust?"
"No way, I always take good care of my electronic devices. "And everything was working fine before," explained Rose while trying to find out the cause of the damage to the equipment.
Rose was busy taking equipment such as screwdrivers and other things to repair the 'Finger Print Bank Scan'. She also took glasses to focus better when repairing the tool. Carefully, Rose sat at the study table and began cleaning and correcting the tool.
Meanwhile, Rin put her hands behind his body, and suddenly his fingerprints began to change. His fingerprints seemed to be dozens more and formed a complicated pattern, then he gave a sinister smile.
He moved closer next to Rose, changing his cynical smile into a friendly and warm smile
"Is there something wrong?"
Rose, who had checked it, started to close the 'Finger Print Bank Scan' again and put the small nuts back in place.
"It's nothing, maybe there's maintenance going on."
Rose put away the 'Finger Print Bank Scan' to let Rin touch it again.
"Try."
"Okay."
Rin put back the 'Finger Print Bank Scan' and the device started to turn on, scanning Rin's changed fingerprint. Even so, Rose was unaware of the changes that had occurred.
[Scanning…]
[Welcome Back R. Rin]
Rose blinked at this change, "Oh… maybe that's right, it was a lot of dust that's why it didn't scan properly."
[Remaining Balance 15,000]
"Yeah~ this much is left, okay?" said Rin in a sullen tone.
Rin, who was about to raise her hand from 'Finger Print Bank Scan', suddenly felt Rose's hand on top of Rin's hand. This surprised Rin.
"H-Hey… Why are you putting your hand on top of mine?"
"Let me give you some…"
They exchanged glances, their faces were very close, they could even feel the breath of the wind because they were so close. Feelings of awkwardness began to emerge between the two.
[Remaining Balance 15,000 → 65,000]
Rin's gaze looked at the 'Finger Print Bank Scan' screen, his balance had increased because Rose had just given some of her balance to Rin, by touching his hand.
"H-Hey, thanks, Rose," Rin made a face that was a little awkward but full of gratitude.
Rose smiled gently, "No problem, Rin. Just consider this a debt of gratitude because you took me to the hospital, okay?"
Rin chuckled hearing this statement from Rose mouth, "Haha, okay, this is the same as if I were an ambulance, right?"
"Haha, No I really thank you, you said that too? That there is power overflowing from me? That means if you don't sit on a park bench during break with me then that power won't appear, right?"
"Yes... that's right, but can you control it yet?"
Rose shook her head, "No... Not yet, but if you say that, what's more, Knight Daniel said that when I was dying, my body glowed, meaning I had entered Eonix mode and I would become strong to protect you."
"So, it's the same as me being the most meritorious, right?"
"Haha, Right as I will keep you out of trouble okay, commoner?"
Rin returned Rose's sincere smile, but in his mind, he felt very happy and wanted to scream with joy.
JACKPOT!
In his mind, Rin could hear Hubris sigh as if he knew Rin's reaction was like this. From his face.
Michael was walking down the dorm corridor when he saw Rose's room open. At first, he tried to ignore it, but when he saw Rin in the room, he became curious and slowly walked over to peek.
In the room, Michael saw Rin and Rose close to each other and looking at each other in silence. Their hands were on top of each other, showing the close bond between them.
"What are you guys doing?" Michael asked curiously.
The two of them quickly released their grip, causing the 'Finger Print Bank Scan' to shake due to the sudden movement of their hands. Rin and Rose smiled awkwardly, realizing how strange the situation was. Michael looked confused by what he saw, and finally Rose gave an explanation.
"I just transferred the balance to Rin, nothing strange," answered Rose.
"Yeah, right," added Rin.
Michael nodded in understanding, but he still felt a little doubtful. He wasn't sure if he should completely believe their explanation. However, he decided not to ask further and let them do their own thing and then he continued walking, leaving the two of them behind.
***
[2nd Day of Training]
They continued cleaning the remaining bathrooms, time after time they worked without stopping even though they were disgusted. After hours of cleaning the bathroom, they finally finished until noon. They took a break outside the school's public bathroom in the park and then they sat on the ground leaning against each other with their backs, feeling tired after working non-stop.
"Tsk," Rin sighed.
"Haaaah," sighed Rose.
They both felt tired and dirty after cleaning the bathroom so hard. But behind the fatigue, they feel satisfied with the results of their hard work. Rin and Rose know that they have completed their duties well and responsibly.
Rin looked at Rose and smiled gently.
"We accomplished this task well."
Rose nodded and smiled back, "Yeah, we work well together."
In silence they looked up at the blue sky and the sun that illuminated the day.
"What do you think our next training will be like? Rose."
"Who knows..."
The two of them pondered for a moment, thinking about the next training they would face. After completing the task of cleaning the bathroom, Rose suddenly stood up, causing Rin who was leaning on her back to fall and sit on the ground.
"Ouch! If you want to wake up, tell me!?"
"Ah! Sorry, I think I have to take a shower first before going to Professor Enkin."
Rose said with a smile, then Rose walked away leaving Rin lying on the ground.
Rin, who was still lying on the ground, stared at the ceiling, thinking hard, then Hubris' voice appeared in Rin's mind, "So that's how you gain people's trust, huh?"
"Haha, that is the classic way we have to approach them to gain great influence in gaining trust."
***
The water covering Rose's skin made her feel fresh and relaxed. He stood under the shower, letting his thoughts flow freely like the water flowing through his body. For a moment, his mind drifted to things that were new to him.
"If i think more about it… Rin is the only boy I'm close to…" she thought as she continues wash herself, "I've always refused to be friends with boys… but this Rin is different from the others…"
Meeting Rin has made Rose question her old views on men. During this time, she always felt uncomfortable when interacting with boys. But Rin is an exception. There was something charming about Rin that made her feel comfortable around her.
With her mind wandering, Rose raised her head and enjoyed the warm droplets of water from the shower falling onto her face. She felt calm and relaxed while under the shower, letting her thoughts drift away.
"Even at first he didn't seem to want to be friends with me," then Rose closed her eyes and began to remember the events before they became close.
"Ehh~ I wish I could use magic."
"Hey, I don't allow-"
"Just watch that old thing gets confused."
"Hey, Rose, what are your powers?"
The memories made her chuckle as she shook her head, tossing her hair which scattered the water that was thrown.
"What the hell am I thinking about?" She thought as she look down, "Unlike usual, I was thinking about a man."
Her different feelings towards Rin really piqued her curiosity. Rose felt strange because she had never been interested in men before.
"Maybe he's just a good friend," Rose nods her head, "There is no need to overthink it."
After coming out of the bathroom, Rose dried her body with a soft towel. She then opened the wardrobe and chose clothes for today. Rose likes to choose clothes that are comfortable, but still look elegant and stylish.
She chose a white blouse with long sleeves made of soft and light material. The blouse has a little lace embellishment on the collar, giving a feminine touch to her look. Rose combined it with a pink pleated skirt that reached her knees. This skirt gives a classy and cheerful impression to her fashion style.
After finishing dressing, Rose checked her appearance again in the mirror. She was satisfied with today's appearance. Her beautiful and cheerful face combined with suitable clothes makes her feel confident.
However, suddenly there was a loud knock on her room front door and Rin's hurried scream.
Knock! Knock!
"Rose! We are already called the old ones."
Rose, who was looking in the mirror in her room, sighed when she heard Rin's hurried voice.
"After you! I'll follow."
"Okay!"
Srek! Srek!
Hearing Rin running away, Rose sighed again. She knew that it was their practice time, and she wanted to look beautiful in the dress she chose. However, she also didn't want the dress to get dirty or get damaged during training.
Aw, I don't want to sacrifice this cute dress
Rose looked at her dress.
Feeling uncomfortable, Rose decided to change her clothes back into simpler and more practical clothes for training. She wore simple blue blouse and black trousers that were comfortable for movement.
After she finished changing, Rose combed her hair quickly and straightened her appearance. He wants to look neat and ready for practice.
Once ready, Rose walked towards their training ground with fast steps. Professor Enkin stood in front of Rin who was standing straight, and Rose immediately stood beside him.
"You're finally here, I'm tired of standing for 30 minutes."
"Cool."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN COOL!?"
Professor Enkin looked at the two of them with a cynical look, "Shush."
practice and improve their abilities. They prepared themselves to receive instructions from Professor Enkin.
"Good job you guys cleaned the entire bathroom, but that was just a warm up for this exercise."
Hearing this they both smiled and nodded in resignation.
"Now we get to the basics. You've already experienced a variety of emotions like anger, exhaustion, sadness, and disgust while cleaning the entire bathroom, and that's just a warm-up. Now, I'm going to teach you a simple thing that can save your life," Professor Enkin said seriously.
Rose started to think seriously when Professor Enkin spoke about this. She was curious about what their professor would teach this time.
"That is… 'Death Glares'"
Suddenly, Professor Enkin's gaze changed drastically. His eyes became flat, and a terrifying aura radiated from him, as if there was a black hole ready to pull them into it. Rose felt deep fear from that aura, and her survival instincts were immediately triggered.
Meanwhile, Rin smiled broadly at Professor Enkin's reaction. He seems to be amused by Professor Enkin's frightening expression and appears unfazed by the frightening aura.
Then Professor Enkin stopped using his 'Death Glares' and looked at Rin who was smiling unconsciously.
"Why are you smiling?" asked Professor Enkin tilting his head
After Professor Enkin's 'Death Glares' disappeared Rose lowered her Defense Mode and looked at Rin who was still smiling.
What is wrong with him?
Rin blinked as if she didn't realize what was happening, her smile began to fade after hearing Professor Enkin's words.
"Ah... Sorry Professor, I was just too excited to see such great power."
"Hmm… Alright."
Rin tried to calm his smile, realizing that his reaction was uncontrollable when he was excited to see the great power displayed by Professor Enkin. He stood straight, trying to control his emotions.
"Damn! Why did it have to happen!?" Rin muttered to herself, feeling a little annoyed with himself for her overreaction.
"Then let's continue. To use 'Death Glares' you have to control your emotions. The most important thing is to gather your angry emotions to become dominant and use them to create cynical eyes that give off an aura like you want to kill."
Rose listened carefully, paying attention to every detail explained by Professor Enkin.
Collecting the emotion of anger and letting it become dominant...
Rose thought about Professor Enkin's instructions. He tried to understand it.
"I've told you the basics, so you have to find out for yourself," said Professor Enkin as he turned around and walked away from the two of them while smiling.
Rin and Rose remained silent in place, digesting Professor Enkin's words. They realize that true practice and real progress occurs when they face challenges and learn from their own experiences.
Suddenly Rose felt that from her left there was someone's face, and indeed it was Rin's face who was making a strange expression near Rose's face.
"Why are you here? Got worms?"
"I'm trying to make Death Glares, stupid."
"It's not Death Glares, but Clown Glares."
"Whatever! I'm just learning, okay? It's not as easy as you think."
"Fine, fine, I know. But right now, you look more like a clown than a user of 'Death Glares,'" said Rose while laughing.
Rin averted his gaze and tried to create a more serious expression, "Enough! I'll fix it, just wait!"
"How about we practice together to create an even scarier 'Death Glares'?" Rose suggested.
"It seems like a good plan. Let's see who can make a scarier 'Death Glares', and the person who can first master 'Death Glares' should be treated okay!?" answered Rin enthusiastically.
Hearing this Rose shook her head chuckling
"Okay, But it's the other way around."
"Sounds like a good plan. Let's see who can create a scarier 'Death Glares', and the person who can first master 'Death Glares' should be treated, okay?!" Rin answered enthusiastically.
Hearing this, Rose shook her head with a smile. "Okay, but it's the other way around."
Hubris' voice sounded in Rin's mind instantly, "You look stupid when you do that face."
"Shut up, I'm acting in front of Rose."
Then they walked apart immediately looking for a way to master 'Death Glares' quickly
***
[4 Days Later]
In the afternoon, it was finally time to show the results. Rin and Rose face Professor Enkin to test their 'Death Glares'. Rin seriously tried to put on a scary expression, while Rose tried to hold back her laughter at Rin who looked more cute than scary.
Professor Enkin looked at his two students with a sharp gaze, trying to feel the aura of the 'Death Glares' they created.
"Mmm, quite good," said Professor Enkin, offering a bit of praise.
Rose demonstrated her 'Death Glares' with great confidence. The aura around him brightened, and the atmosphere seemed to change to court room
Professor Enkin nodded in satisfaction, impressed by Rose's ability to create such a powerful aura.
"Hmm, this is one of the 'Death Glares' that manipulates Time and Space huh."
Rose who heard this tilt her head
"This is the same as me who has very good 'Death Glares of Time and Space', and I'm amazed that in just 4 days you can master it, usually people have difficulty mastering it," added Professor Enkin
Rose felt proud of her accomplishments and gave a happy smile. Rin, who was standing next to her, was also happy about Rose's success
While Rin smiled and spoke his mind, "Yes, it's good that she has mastered it so she can be a good shield."
"…"
Hubris, who heard Rin's words, could only remain silent
Then Professor Enkin cleared his mouth with a cough
"Ahem, actually your training is still long, but because I was only given one week by Sebastian, I will give you this as a sign that I believe in you."
He said as he stretched out his hand to give her two pendant necklaces, the middle of which had a different color
Yellow and Red?
Rose asked in her mind
"Did you see that necklace, Hubris?"
"Yeah, in the middle is a pill in disguise."
"Lucky~"
Rin takes the necklace that has the red pill and puts it on, Professor Enkin seeing this gives the rest of the yellow necklace to Rose.
"Please take care of this, and use it when urgent."
"Urge?" Roes asked.
But Professor Enkin did not answer Rose's question but instead told her something else
"If there are important things, I will tell you, just think of it as additional learning."
Rin tilted her head and asked, "Additional learning?"
"Yes, if there is a mission from the kingdom, I will send you there."
"KINGDOM!?"
Rin and Rose were simultaneously surprised, both of their eyes sparkled with excitement.
Professor Enkin nodded while smiling at the surprised reactions from Rin and Rose
"Yes, kingdom. As students with outstanding magical abilities, the two of you have the potential to undertake important missions for the kingdom. These missions will give you the opportunity to test and improve your magical abilities, as well as contribute to the security and welfare of the kingdom,"
Rin and Rose looked at each other, and their faces were full of enthusiasm mixed with worry. A mission for the kingdom was certainly a great opportunity
Very good step Rin!
Rin muttered in his heart
Professor Enkin smiled slightly seeing the two of them remembering his former students.
"Then may you guys become stronger."
Instantly, Professor Enkin disappeared from both of their sights. After silence enveloped them, Rose turned to face Rin and smiled.
"It seems someone has to fulfill their promise~"
Rin sighed, "Okay, I'll treat you to meatballs in the canteen."
"Haha, okay."
The two of them started to walk out of the training field and went to the school cafeteria which was quiet because break time had not yet arrived.
The two of them started walking out of the training field towards the school cafeteria. When they arrived at the canteen, they realized that the place was still quiet because break time had not yet started.
"Just sit there, I'll go get the order,"
Rin said, pointing to an empty table.
Rose nodded and sat at the table, waiting for Rin to return. Meanwhile, Rin walked towards the ordering counter. Rin put her hand on the 'Finger Print Payment' tool.
[Pay (2) Meatballs for 20,000 Balance[(Yes)(No)
[Remaining Balance 65,000 --> 45,000]
Rin moved the index finger of her other hand to press the 'Yes' button, and suddenly a plate containing meatballs and other ingredients appeared. After ordering meatballs for the two of them, Rin returned to the table carrying two plates of tempting meatballs.
"Give you orders,"
"Thanks, Rin."
They began to enjoy meatballs in silence while watching news on TV about officials shaking hands with people who created sophisticated robots.
the low noise of a news program showing the scene outside the royal palace. Royal officials wearing beautiful robes and crowns on his heads, with firm and dignified steps, walked towards a stage filled with cameras and reporters ready to report.
