Translator: Lei

Kiiiiiiiiikk!

'Dude, don't you ever get bored?'

At the Petrins' place, I drank until I blacked out for the first ti cup after cup, the sun see up, and it was then that I lost consciousness Then I slept the day away like a log, and after waking up, I suffered froover

But the other knights, including the Count, were able to spend a lively day full of sparring even after drinking so e afforded to people who could control mana: apparently, you could use mana to protect your stomach and forcibly erase your intoxication However, I didn't even know that, and was forced to realize the frightening power of alcohol with my entire body

'Does he like that guy, Shuriel, so much?'

After al, I returned to the dor at villas in the capital or with their friends Only Russell, who had nowhere else to go, was standing at theof the dor with it

'This guy, he's crying!'

Russell didn't even register that I had co with Shuriel Tears fell froround

“Dad… Mom…”

His usually neutral voice had disappeared and had turned thin and high-pitched, like a girl

'Brat, so you're a pup ants to see his parents'

To be honest, I felt the sa about it, I was living to my utmost here, but I yearned to see my parents and friends

“I, I will avenge you Even if I must sell my soul to the devil…”

'Revenge?'

But Russell's yearning suddenly turned to vengeance with gritted teeth I knew there was probably a situation he couldn't tell e He wouldn't look a bit out of place as the main character in a story

“Who is it!” Russell cried, finally sensinghis head around

“Haha! It'srong in order to avoid aardness

“K-Kyre…” said Russell, his voice a little muffled as he quickly wiped his tears with his sleeve

“The sun is too bright, huh?” I acted like I didn't see his tears and said so irrelevant

“Y-yeah” Understanding my intent, Russell nodded

“Russell…” I pushed my face towards his feminine features

“W-what are you doing?”

“You…”

Whenever I called hiuarded I spoke with a furtive voice and reached for his shoulder

As I did so, Russell's clear, gentle silver eyes trembled

'Why is he always so tense when I come close?' I never took uard up when I got near him

I gripped his thin and soft girly shoulders

“Do you really… not have a little sister?” I said quietly

Bam! Russell's fist landed in my stomach

“Pervert!” Like always, he was ready with his favorite word for me

'Brat, don't be sad If you cry, I'm sad too'

Following the pervert accusation, Russell's expression loosened up Now I could relax After sharing a roorown er this would last, but until my fate with him was over, I wanted to support him like this

I don't knohen, but at souy

That guy's name was my roommate, Russell

'Shall we try su a spirit?'

Toht Practical Training I wanted to try suency measure before we set off For that purpose, I headed to the forest around the Summoner's Tower

'If Count Capuin knew, he'd go nuts'

Count Capuin had sent ic circle While I was still in a state of coht back to the Middle Realm, where Count Capuin asked me about the spirits At that time, I told him I couldn't make any contracts, only that I was thankful that he had allowed me to see a bunch of spirits

'A card hidden up my sleeve will surely save my life'

I was still soe of absolute power I was a 5th Circle e, swordsh

'It's probably fine to suht?'

This was my first attempt, but I could currently summon every eleh wind spirit under Sylphiria's level, Djinn I didn't personally h spirit, but because I had h spirits of the same element with the force of my will

'I should probably summon Shuriel, yeah?'

I was more drawn to wind spirits than the others Moreover, wind spirits were the ht ould act in the sky Making e of my contracted Shuriel to mind

“Summon Shuriel!”

Shuriel, an eagle of wind

In response toin the air, and wind began to blow around me

“Oh! Yes~!!”

Then, I broke out in a cheer upon seeing Shuriel, as flapping its transparent wings and floating in the air

'If I could distract an eneic, and then finish the job with my sword, who could defeat me then?'

An iht, I would probably be undefeatable No e you were, it would be possible to block a spirit's rapid attacks, ic's immense offensive power, and the clean strikes of a swordsman on top of that all on your own

“Fly, Shuriel All the way over there!”

With a low cry that only I could hear, Shuriel flew like a rocket into the direction I had pointed at

“Wow!”

Shuriel's movement speed was so fast that it couldn't be traced with the human eye

'It does take quite a lot of reater than other people's, but as Shuriel flitted off, I feltsucked out In particular, because Shuriel had flown off so far I could barely see it, my mana was drained with sudden speed'See on the distance'

If summoners weren't liest attackers However, coile mana They would definitely be li a battle in the sky

'I should thank Master'

Those same limitations weren't as restrictive fortechnique, I could display a far greater strength than other summoners

'Should I try using spirit ic as well?'

Sue Even if you weren't a ic However, a wind spirit could only use wind ic, etc

'The suic freely, right?'

I had learned quite a lot about spirits in class The information was pretty useful

Just then, I suddenly heard the flapping of wings “A wyvern!” In the sky was a wyvern flying over from the imperial palace “Why is it so small?”

It was a Black Wyvern, whose body gleamed with black luster But it was around half the size of the huge wyverns I had seen before

“Ahh~! Ahhhh!”

Rooaaaaaar! The wyvern that had suddenly appeared from the imperial palace was about to crash into the Forest of Spirits, where I was

'Oi! That brat!'

Then I saw hi a flustered expression, Razcion was gripping the reins atop the struggling wyvern

'This kid!' It was obviously a dangerous situation

“Shuriel! Help the wyvern!”

The only thing that occurred tosituation was to use my summoned spirit At ht to the wyvern like a ray of light

'Agh!'

Thewyvern that had lost its balance,physical for the drain on my mana

Flap, flap, flap!

'Argh, you little brat You're getting a spanking now!'

Shuriel righted the wyvern's balance ind power and dragged the wyvern to the clearing in the forest where I was standing

“UWAAAAHHH!”

Clearly frightened, Razcion burst out into tears

And the wyvern, which was still huge despite hty thump

As soon as the wyvern hit ground, Shuriel returned to the Spirit Realth

I ran forward Heabout whether he was hurt or not came first

Thanks to Shuriel doing its best, the Black Wyvern was able to land safely, and I could finally let out a relieved breath

'It's still a baby?' The Black Wyvern looked as young as Razcion hi its black eyes, the creature warily stared at me as I ran forward

“Kiddo, are you ok?” I called out to Razcion, as crying while sitting on the saddle atop the wyvern

Raising his head to my voice, Razcion wailed so loudly that it shook the forest “Hyung? Brotheerr!!”

“So you're saying, when members of the imperial family become ten, they unconditionally receive a Black Wyvern, and this guy named Datero is yours?”

“Un, hyung He's handsoht? He's only two, but understands words well too”

'So it's true that wyverns have to be over four years old to be full-grown'

I was a Skyknight cadet, but I still didn't knowclose to wyverns fro to the baby Black Wyvern in front of reed in me

“But who gave you permission? He doesn't look ready to fly yet”
