First Day (Leon & Spar)

"Listen everyone" she spoke turning toward the teacher who was with her and introducing him "he is your combat teacher so listen to his word or else you will have to deal with me." Then she turns toward the instructor "Teacher Leon they are all yours now."

Leon has a lean, athletic build, toned and compact rather than bulky, and looking at him and his frame is defined but not overly muscular, I can see now why he is called the Defender of the West in the novel. To explain the situation first I have to explain the current situation of war between demons and humans.

Let me explain the geography of SOL III first, If I want to explain in simple words, you can just imagine all the continents of the earth combined into one massive continent. All the old countries were destroyed in the war with demons and Asuras and new countries were formed and the rulers of the new country were decided by the contribution they made during the wars and can you guess who are they now, yes, the rulers family.

There are currently six main countries and they are all ruled by six rulers' families.

And last, there is the seventh country Lunaris which is located in the middle of all six countries, the academy is also located here, and the ruler of this country is Serlynthia's father this was also one of the reasons why Ethan and Dylan's fathers want them to get close with her.

While the humans were fighting against Asuras, demons started to conquer the border area in all directions slowly and it became easier for them because they had already conqueror the land which is like Antarctica of this world during war.

After seeing the strength of the Heroes, they again stop their conquest, but when the four heroes disappear the remaining two heroes declared twenty years ago that they will not interfere with whatever happens between demons and humans if demons don't try to harm their newly born daughter.

Demons again started to conquer the land, to stop them at least three SS rankers were required to send in all directions to form a border and stop the demons.

But there was a problem with this arrangement humans only had eleven SS rankers and from eleven, one was assigned to become the principal of the academy.

At that time Leon's purpose that he will deal with West alone, first most of the rankers opposed this idea but when the situation became more serious, they had to agree to it on the condition that he just had to hold them until they could send one of the SS rankers from their team when they will stabilize their situation.

And that is what he did, Leon handily held thousands of demons all alone until help arrived, after he was called as defender of the West and because of this all the youngsters still admire him.

But all I feel for him is pity, the student he teaches like his own son will also be the one to kill him in the future because he just doesn't like the way some rulers threaten their people.

"Let's go into the fighting chamber," Serlynthia said bringing me back from my story and started to move toward the room and I followed her. While going toward the chamber I heard Leon's voice.

"Ok let's start the sparing session fast after you all have to run 10 laps of the ground."

"""" What.""""

******

When Serlynthia offered me to be my sparring partner, I wanted to reject it at first – Na just kidding why the hell even I reject the offer when the strongest S ranker wishes to be my sparring partner?

When we arrived at the chamber, she gave me a batch that was different than the batch she gave to that student. And seeing the look on my face.

"This batch is different it is used by the academy teacher and before you ask, while the batch has different features than student one, we are only using a continuous fighting feature so we don't have to stop every time suffer a fatal attack, so no I am not giving you special privilege," Serlynthia spoke while I equip the battle suit just when I finish equipping the suit.

She appeared in front of me and punched lunch me flying backward I got stopped by a Hologramlike wall and fell on the ground, turning around I could not help but think just how fast she appeared in front of me did she just use her time attribute?

"No, I didn't use my time attribute and I am glad that you didn't think that's why she didn't give me time to prepare myself and again no I don't possess a skill to read mind it just written all over your face." Before I could ask her anything she answered all the questions I was about to ask her.

Did my thoughts really write all over my face, I have to ask Theros about it.

"Now get up we don't have time to laze around" Serlynthia ordered, I stood up and got in a fighting stance holding a spear in my hand, and rushed toward her.

We clashed again and again but there was not a single opening so I could take advantage of it and just like Serlynthia again send me flying backward.

"Let's not waste this chance we both know that your mastery over spear is way above your peers and if you want to advance in it, you can do that by yourself, let's just focus on your element where you still lack mastery." She said and moved toward the control panel of the chamber and reinforced the strength of the barrier.

After just a comeback void spikes launched toward her from the ground got her but before the spikes connected with her they just froze there from Serlynthia's perspective you will see that the spikes were frozen but were just moving so slow that it looked like it was frozen.

"Stop this child play just use your Hollow Voidif you master the high-level spells low-level spells will be easy to master so just use that" she spoke and touched the spikes and all the spikes just disappeared seeing the look on my face she answered, "I just destroy the time of the skill after it was cast, now don't waste time and just attack."

"Void Element: Hollow Void" A black sphere from in front of me but before last Serlynthia spoke "Stop there, look how much mana you are wasting what you are going to do is control all the leaking mana and add them to your attack, so cast it again 'snap' "she snaps her finger and the Hollow Void disappear just like void spikes.

No, this time my mana which I used to cast the attack also restored not unlike last time, it feels like she just reverses the time of my spell.

How the hell did even Dylan manage to make this monster his lover, The Author just gives the reason that their family had a marriage contract and she just agreed without resistance.

I call this complete bullshit, how can a woman with a personality like hers agree to marry that dumb ugly b*tch just because of a contract how the hell is this fair I don't believe this even more after she wanted to make a deal with me related to this.

****

After casting and canceling the spell for 1-2 hours, the mana control just increases very little like there was no difference.

"Did you think about my proposal, are you going to accept it or not," Serlynthia spoke while I was resting on the bench as we still had 15 min before the training class was over.

When I look at Serlynthia's face after hearing her question and seeing that their still no emotion on her face "Teacher Serlynthia what you are asking is not different than saying that 'you have to become enemy with Aldric and Glenwood family' not to mention when if even father cannot do about this then what can I do, just being grandson of principle doesn't give me any privilege."

I stood up and moved toward her and when I was in front of her looking into her eyes I spoke "You know I will admit that I somewhat like you and there are some unknown feelings whenever I see you but the way you are asking me it feel like you are treating me like an object which you can use to get rid of Glenwood family." 'Ding ding ding' the bell rang and I started to move toward the exits while Serlynthia still stood there.

When I was about to exit, I turned around and spoke to her "Come back when you truly feel that you want to proceed with it"

----

Serlynthia looks at Samuel back while he is going out of the chamber and just as he gets out his whole demeanor of Serlynthia changes that of a girl who is crazily in love with someone and if you see clearly, you will see a hint of mischief in her eyes "how cute, darling you are still the same in this 'life' but you still have to wait if you want me.

At Glenwood Mansion

Magnus, Dylan's father walks into the room where he sees most of the trusted workers of the Glenwood family are looking for something, this room is the family treasury of Glenwood.

"you idiot still not found it; I want you all to find it till today or your family will search your wear about tomorrow," Magnus spoke and started to move out of the room when suddenly a servant called him.

"Master I found it." He turned around and saw a servant running toward him while holding a scroll in his hand.

Magnus moves toward that servant snatches the scroll and opens it, in the scroll there are two pieces of paper and when he looks at the first paper, he throws it and looks at the second. "Why did this old man put the picture of the heroes with the contract, he again looked at the paper after that he threw a fireball at the picture and it started to burn.

"Let us see how you will protect your daughter now." He said and moved out of the room while the picture slowly burned.

In the picture there were 3 young men and women who looked around 19-21 ages the left side of the couple was Serlynthia's parents in the middle were the first hero and his wife.

But if Samuel was here, he would be surprised to see that the couple on the right looked like him and Serlynthia.

[author here if guys are confused about the deal between Samuel and Serlynthia and when it happens I will explain this in the next chapter.

sorry I was unable to upload the chapter yesterday that why today's chapter is longer]
