‘If I eat this wrong, my body will explode.’

Since he trained his aura, he shouldn’t have died, but in the worst case, there was a possibility that he would become paralyzed.

In order to minimize the probability of that, a helper was needed who could respond appropriately in an unexpected situation, and Philip judged that the most suitable person for the role was the dragon, Freevia.

“Now, sit down quietly. cutie.”

However, he could not recklessly refuse the favor Altair had given him. It was a matter of her ego. It was like doubting her ability as an Auror Master.

‘Why should I fail?’

Philip decided to take it easy. It seemed that she still had an influence on the royal family, seeing how easily she brought an elixir that was sensitive to taking out.

‘If anything goes wrong, I’ll give you something like an elixir.’

Soon, Philip, who was sitting on a chair in the drawing room, received Angel’s Tears from Altair. When I twisted open the lid that sealed the contents completely, I could feel the pungent scent.

“It is not one of the rarest treasures of the royal family. Drinking it doesn’t increase your swordsmanship skills, it just increases the absolute amount of magic power. But to you it might mean something different. Drink it all in one gulp, and relax.”

“Ah, yes. thank you.”

Philip did as she said and put the spout of the crystal bottle to his lips. Just as the glowing liquid was about to touch his lips, a portal opened in the middle of the drawing room.

“Stop! What are you trying to do?”

It was the appearance of the dragon Freevia. She strode over and snatched the crystal bottle from Philip.

“This is not the elixir you think of. It was made as a sample for a magic experiment a thousand years ago, and those who drank it directly to increase their magical power were treated as idiots. If you want to use it as an elixir, you have to go through several processes.”

Philip listened to her explanation and nodded in agreement.

“Oh, I see.”

The quality of the item description he knew and the knowledge that Freevia actually accumulated over the years were different. If she was, that was it. Philip closed the bottle again, not wanting to wrinkle in front of the chrysalis.

Altair had his sword drawn with a white face. Due to the momentum she felt from the woman in front of her, she couldn’t even lift her finger as she drew her sword.

“Everyone, who are you?”

Privia seemed very uncomfortable. She narrowed her brows and glared at Altair.

“Why are you b*tch, you dare to open your mouth in front of me? You want to die.”

The dragon, apparently unwilling to speak, raised black flames in her hands. Philip saw it and swallowed.

Hellfire, Hellfire.

It was a magic that burns forever until it completely swallows the target.

Even if the so-called great sages burned all their magic, it was a high-level magic that would be difficult to imitate, so Philip reached out his hand, thinking that he should stop Freevia.

If you were hit by that flame, you would be an Auror Master and Nabal, and a handful of ashes.

“Wait. Miss Freevia. He’s trying to do me a favor. Don’t be too.”

Privia snorted at Philip’s words.

“In my eyes, I see an old maid trying to start a new life while living a new life. How are you going to live in this harsh world because you are so naive? I can’t even lift a finger while absorbing the elixir, do you know what you’re going to do in the meantime?”

Philip seemed to understand now why Privia was rushing.

‘… You were watching me.’

She was probably monitoring most of Philip’s every move. It wasn’t that I felt bad or anything. Privia was a dragon who lived thousands of years, and she had a duty to protect the successor of the Moonlight Sword, so she probably didn’t watch him with bad intentions.

“I don’t know who you are, but don’t even think about insulting me like that. Are you saying I was trying to molest that child?”

Altair opened his mouth, as if his anger had suppressed his instincts a little. A vein formed on Privia’s forehead.

‘Nowadays, watching that kid is a pleasure in life, but where did the girl who was running around intervene without even knowing the subject?’

She didn’t like that there were so many women around Philip. It was because he had seen countless geniuses who ruined their lives because of love and lust.

‘He’s the heir to the moonlight sword that appeared after a while… .’

It was unlikely that Philip would do that, but as for her, it was necessary to eliminate the elements that could threaten the full succession of the Moonlight Sword.

At least she thought so.

“Oh, yes. I wonder what you can do. Follow me.”

“… You know you can’t?”

It was a confrontation between the Aura Master and the dragon that took place out of the blue.

‘I’m sure he won’t kill me… ?’

Philip thought so and swallowed.

“Tania, here it is, here it is!”

“Miyah… .”

In the backyard, Lua was playing with Tania. Lua seduced Tania by waving a cat toy with feathers that Philip had made for her. Tania showed signs of being annoyed, but her body seemed to move on its own due to instinct.

It was a very heartwarming and beautiful sight, but the girls had to move away.

“Instructor!”

When Philip appeared, Lua sprinted reflexively, but stopped when she saw two unknown women.

“Come here. Lua, Tania. I have something to do here.”

“Who are these people?”

When Lua tilted her head, Freevia answered with a slight smile.

“I am the instructor of the Faculty of Magic, and I am your friend. baby Are you Lua?”

“Yes, hello!”

Looking at Privia with a hearty smile, Philip nodded slightly.

The fact that an academy named after her was established, as well as the way she treated Tania before, it seemed that she was still quite weak for children.

“I am… .”

Altair also tried to introduce herself, but was blocked by Privia.

“Your b*tch will be a corpse anyway, so why are you introducing yourself? There’s nothing good about getting attached.”

“What, what?”

None of the two women Philip could subdue by force. Besides, he didn’t really want to be in between me, so Philip took Lua and Tania and stepped back.

“Why are you sisters doing that?”

Lua lifted her tiptoe and whispered in Philip’s ear. Philip shook his head.

“Honestly, I don’t know either.”

Lua widened her eyes. It was the first time I’d ever seen Philip say he didn’t know something. She seemed a little shocked that Philip didn’t know something either.

Pribia and Altair stood facing each other, glaring at each other.

“Wherever you go, try your hand at it. I wonder what you can do.”

At Privia’s provocation, Altair gritted her teeth. At that moment of anger, it didn’t matter at all what Privia’s identity was.

I felt an unusual momentum, but as a member of the royal family and as an Auror Master, I couldn’t let go of that level of insult.

Soon, the ground around Altair’s feet began to shake. Altair’s sword, which gathered all available auras, was imbued with brilliant sword steel.

He was at least one notch higher than Emil Panoy, head professor at the Pribia Academy.

“… You will regret it.”

After saying that, Altair disappeared from the spot.

To be precise, it was rushing toward Freevia at a speed beyond human cognitive ability. Altair looked at Privia’s open vital point and thought for a moment how to subdue her without killing her.

And I felt as if time had stopped. It was a phenomenon that used to happen when they became completely one with the sword. The moment he felt that, Altair was sure of victory.

‘It’s nothing, how dare you?’

But something was strange. My body didn’t move.

It felt like the stopped time had no intention of passing even after a few seconds had passed.

‘this… Come on?’

Altair felt that his body had completely stopped. Only the heart, lungs, and respiratory system were functioning, and all the muscles in the body were hardened like plaster.

“Miyah.”

Tania, who had been riding on Philip’s shoulder, moved to the top of Philip’s head. It was a privilege granted only to kittens.

Philip quietly approached Privia, breaking out in a cold sweat.

“… Didn’t he kill you?”

At Philip’s question, Freevia smiled.

“What kind of demon am I? You worry about everything.”

She went up to Altair, who was completely frozen in the same posture she was charging at, and touched her cheek.

“Human girl. If I leave you like this for about twenty years, will you become more compliant?”

Altair then realized that he had chosen the wrong opponent. There were several insurmountable walls between her and Freevia.

After confirming that her eyes had softened like a cow in front of her fodder, Privia lifted the spell on her.

“I brought something useful of my own, so forgive me at this point. Get out of here.”

nodding,

Altair nodded softly, shedding tears and immediately running away. Philip thought that it could be okay, but in fact it was inevitable. It was because he was not in a position to say anything carelessly to Privia.

“I don’t think there was a need for this… .”

Instead, he chose to deliberately form his opinion. Freevia shook her head with a displeased expression.

“It’s obvious what a girl like that thinks. It would be fine if he did what he asked me to do quietly, but I’m thinking of interfering with this and that just because I’m doing it for you, and then I’m going to move you as I please. It is necessary to bend the bridge of the nose so that it does not have a different mind in advance.”

“… Is that why you came all the way here?”

Philip asked, a little surprised.

“What are you thinking? why me? I’m just here to stop you from picking up something weird and getting sick. If you want to take the elixir, you will come to me, so why are you entrusting it to such a clumsy woman?”

From Freevia’s reaction, Philip could be sure of one thing.

‘I think it bothered me that I couldn’t help you this time.’

He felt the disingenuous dragon grow closer. At first, it was just an object that had a corner to use, but as it went on, it showed more and more likeable behavior, so I couldn’t help but feel affection for it.

“… I’ll write down the ingredients, so if you get these and bring them to me, I’ll make an elixir that’s right for you. Giving the finished elixir as a whole is a causal burden, but if you get the ingredients yourself, the story is different.”

Pribia decided to be a little more patronizing, having intervened anyway.

Her feelings now were no different from those of viewers who were able to directly interfere with the content of the drama.

“And if I may say a few more words while I’m here, are you the type of person who can’t do anything without raising work? It is the same this time. Why did you make it so big that it would have been possible if you just moved a few nobles and put pressure on them politically? And, how many times do I have to tell you that the top priority is your growth… .”

‘Altair-nim should be invited as an academy professor. To do that, I’ll have to kick out the professor who quarreled with me a while ago.’

Philip listened to Privia’s continued nagging with a serious expression and thought hard about something else.
