After four days of sweeping and polishing, several items and furniture were brought in through workers from Yousef Corporation, and it took a total of two weeks to install the necessary facilities.

Philip felt a bit regretful when he saw the completed insolvency.

‘Did I spend too much money?’

Once I installed everything I needed and hit it.

It was built as a warehouse in the first place, so the inside was spacious, and there was a vacant lot outside that could be used. If it was a narrow interior, I would have only adjusted the assortment to some extent, but since there was a lot of space to enter, I ended up putting in a lot of things.

Of course, everything was settled with Lizriel’s money, so Philip only had to enjoy pleasure without responsibility.

A resting room for rest, a changing room for changing clothes after swordsmanship lessons, and a conference room large enough for 20 people to gather.

It was as if Johnny’s, Stefan, and Cheryl, who had become very close lately, had a hangout to hang out after class.

“Now that the bankruptcy is complete, we are going to start our activities in earnest. The Ministry of Tourism intends to continue activities to experience things that are not normally accessible in places other than the academy, in line with the purpose of its establishment.”

The students gathered in the conference room nodded their heads at Philip’s explanation.

“Next weekend, the first official activity of the travel department will be held, so I hope everyone is prepared.”

“Speaking of official activities… .”

“Since it is an activity of the travel department, it will be a trip. I’ll pass the location on to Cheryl, so you can look forward to it. And about the Hall of Achievement, as I said the other day, I hope you keep it a secret for now.”

The students responded that they would. Philip nodded with a satisfied expression.

Being able to safely establish a club before a big incident happened was a big achievement in its own way. No one knew what extraordinary event would happen if it was delayed.

Philip brought the students back down to the Hall of Achievement.

It was to give Stefan and Lua a chance to challenge themselves.

“I want to challenge the test of knowledge.”

Stefan, who was confident in his knowledge, chose the test of knowledge administered by the fox. Of course, he had no choice but to get one problem right and leave lonely.

He was rewarded with a small piece of cloth.

“… It’s a cloth that cleans glasses well. Cheryl. I will give this to you.”

“oh. Thank you… no thank you Stefan.”

Sheryl, who was about to call her son, quickly changed her words when she felt Johnny’s gaze. As a test, she took off her glasses and wiped them once, but was surprised to see even the smallest scratches disappear like a bird’s egg, and almost dropped them.

“Is there anyone who memorizes the names of autumn plants that grow only in Loch or the Mountains… .”

As Stefan muttered weakly, the door of knowledge burst open and a fox jumped out.

―Are you saying that the problem I raised is strange? you are ignorant The manager over there said he got all five questions right!

The fox, irritated, pounced on Stefan and struck him on the top of his head with his paw.

“evil! Wait!”

It didn’t hurt that much, but Stefan didn’t want to be beaten in front of the girls.

Stefan, who had been slapped on the cheek with his tail, lowered his head with a melancholy expression. Philip looked at Lua and asked.

“Lu, what are you going to do?”

“I am… hey!”

The door Lua pointed to was the door leading to the test of bravery. Philip was a little nervous, but nodded.

‘Johnnys passed out, but Lua would be at most about to burst into tears.’

With Philip’s permission, Lua opened the door of valor.

Lua, who had disappeared beyond the door, came out again after twenty minutes had passed. For some reason, she was clinging to the tiger’s back and crying.

Crying so sadly, the tiger couldn’t help but turn his head and lick Lua’s cheek.

“Egogo, baby. Everything you saw is an illusion. Whatever you see in the mirror, that won’t happen to you.”

Seeing the female tiger’s eyes begging for something to be done, Philip approached Lua, grabbed her by the side, and got off the tiger’s back.

“What did you see, Lua?”

When Philip asked, Lua answered with a whimper.

“Luen… I saw Luen. Instructor. Ruen sees me and calls me a bad girl. He said why he didn’t save him, that he’s not even a family anymore… .”

“hmm… .”

With a small moan, Philip thought. Somehow, the ‘Trial of Valor’ seemed like a poorly made test.

‘I think I know roughly what the mechanism is.’

Apparently, the great sage Aslara thought of courage as facing one’s own weakness. From the first level, it was such an unpredictable difficulty, so it seemed that it would take a little time to pass that test.

‘I’ll have to keep it a secret for a while.’

It seemed like something big would happen if the Hall of Achievement was revealed. Young boys always want to show off that they are better than their peers.

“Hey… .”

Philip pulled Lua over and stroked her back. He was the only one who knew her pain in this place.

* * *

Upon returning to the villa, Philip immediately called Lua to the backyard.

Luckily, Lua didn’t seem too shocked. It was because he was clearly aware that what he saw in the Trial of Valor was an illusion.

“You need to understand magic first. It would be easier to feel for yourself how magic works and what an aura is.”

“… yes. Instructor.”

Seeing the still downcast expression on his face, Philip was also not in a good mood.

Philip’s physical age was twenty-two, but his mental age was in his mid-thirties.

If her first love had been fatally successful, it wouldn’t be strange to have a daughter who was only a few years younger than Lua.

“Come here and give me your hand.”

When Lua held out her hand, Philip grabbed her small hand and moved the aura. It was the same way he taught Felicia and Diana how to operate the spinning sword before.

“Close your eyes and feel what is going on in your body.”

Lua, who has not yet awakened to magical power, accepted Philip’s aura without resistance because she had not accumulated an aura on her body.

Originally, it was unimaginable to realize the existence of magic in this way. At this point, only Philip could do it, and Lua could be said to be the beneficiary.

“ah!”

Lua exclaimed at the strange sensation she felt for the first time in her life.

A feeling of something warm and active running through your body. It was like feeling the blood flowing.

“You understand?”

If it was someone other than Lua, he would have added more explanation, but Philip asked simply because he had a rough idea of the level of Lua’s talent.

“… yes!”

All she needed was a trigger.

Originally, it was a power that I would have naturally realized while swinging the sword.

Lua felt the world she knew change in an instant. Something Philip had just breathed in filled the world.

I could feel them in the grass growing in the backyard, in the high sky, and even in the cool breeze.

“Is this magic?”

Philip shook his head at Lua’s question.

“Precisely, magic is the primary processing of what you are feeling. If you process magic power again, it becomes an aura, and what you are feeling is called mana.”

Seeing Lua looking around with her eyes wide open like a surprised rabbit, Philip realized that Lua was the original protagonist of this world.

It was an incredible talent.

She had a far more sensitive sense of humor than Felicia, who already used Aura proficiently, and magic affinity.

‘… Is this something I’m good at?’

It was an established fact that if Lua received everything Philip knew, she would become much stronger than the original.

No one knew if Philip would be able to handle her in the distant future.

I had no choice but to pray that she would grow up kind and righteous, and fortunately, Philip was in a position to help Lua grow properly.

“Now that you feel the magic, the magic will naturally build up in your body even if you don’t try to do it yourself. After you’ve accumulated enough, let’s learn to handle that power.”

“yes.”

“Then bring the wooden sword now.”

When Lua brought two wooden swords from the backyard, Philip handed over one and said,

“Let’s do what we do every day. I don’t know if I’m on my own today.”

The daily training method while the room was being decorated.

The content of it is none other than Lua’s attack against Philip, who doesn’t move even one step.

In fact, it was training that was no different from play. Neither Philip nor Lua thought it was serious training. Philip entered with the idea of playing with Lua.

That alone was enough for Lua.

Lua, who hadn’t even touched Philip’s collar for two weeks, pouted her lips and declared, as if her desire to compete was burning again.

“I want to be successful today.”

“… okay? If you succeed, it’s still valid to grant you one thing you want, so try your best.”

Philip’s reward for success extinguished Lua’s enthusiasm.

Lua held the wooden sword with both hands and lowered her stance. Philip’s posture was also very low, because Lua was much smaller than Philip.

Lua, who was superior to the instructor in terms of physical strength, had a very short breathing gap. This was a great advantage for the prosecutor.

However, her wooden sword never touched Philip.

Philip countered all of Lua’s attacks for ten minutes, and in the end, Lua had to drink the bitter cup of defeat with her cheeks inflated that day as well.

‘I still can’t think of cheating.’

There was no way Philip would fall for Lua’s honest attack. Lua, who had never cheated on anyone in her life, had never used or experienced cheating.

Philip intended not to teach Lua until she realized it on her own.

“Heh… heck… .”

Seeing Lua covered in sweat, Philip chuckled. He roughly wiped the sweat from Lua’s forehead with his hand. I thought it would get in my eyes.

“Let’s go in now. The sun is about to set.”

“… yes.”

The sullen Lua nodded.

“You keep getting better, so there is no need to be disappointed.”

The way to make Lua feel better was simple. Philip sent her to the bathhouse and ordered the maid to prepare a snack.

Lua would have to work hard to be a little more comfortable in the destination she will be going to next weekend.

‘… I don’t know if there’s a good place to roll the kids.’

Philip intended to take the students to a lake not far from the academy.

To the infamous lake called ‘Mirage Lake’.
