Panting-

The hero stared blankly at the ashy bundle of fur nudging him.

What was so good about it? It hurriedly sniffed around with its short legs, taking in his scent.

A nose poking through the gaps of a suit jacket.

Panting-

The hero reflexively reached out and grabbed the scruffy fur of the creature.

A soft grung! sound was heard.

So whats this?

Its a present for Teachers Day!

Amidst the childrens chorus, the hero grabbed the twitching tail.

.

.

.

Approximately 5 minutes ago.

It was the moment he was about to grab the classroom doorknob.

The hero sensed someone hiding right behind the door.

It was highly secretive.

And wouldnt you know it

Whoosh-

As soon as he opened the door, a cake flew towards his face at ferocious speed.

But the hero wasnt one to just take it.

He first subdued the arm holding the cake, then returned it right back at the assailant.

Bleh!

A cacophony of laughter poured onto the cream-coated culprit.

The crouched figure on the floor glared back with a furious expression.

Hey, Leciel!

I said something like that wouldnt work.

But, we agreed to do it together! You promised!

Hmph.

Leciel, with a snort, quietly placed another cake she held onto the desk.

The hero, listening to their silly conversation, suddenly realized that the classroom looked somewhat different than usual.

Thud!

Balloons of various colors adorned the room.

Decorations seemingly made by the children were placed all around, with somewhat sloppy ribbons, crumpled paper flowers, and tattered cards.

Though their skills were far from perfect, their sincerity was evident.

Different handwriting on the blackboard conveyed gratitude.

Among them, one stood out.

The hero cleared his throat, feeling his throat getting choked up.

His gaze was fixed on a painting that filled one side of the wall.

These are

Oh, Leciel asked a known painter to draw them.

A known painter, huh.

The hero remembered Leciels artistic style he saw at the beach of dreams.

The entrance ceremony.

Orientation.

Various classes including demonology and simulacrum.

Training sessions continued at the barracks.

Encounters in the Forest of Martial Arts, bravely fighting against Beriel and Enoch.

Even scenes from the still-drying paint of the battle arena and the lively festival tavern.

The entire semester of Extreme was encapsulated there.

The known painters skill is remarkable.

Uh, yes.

Leciel, seemingly embarrassed, hung her head low.

Her earlobes were as red as her hair, almost indistinguishable from it.

Delving deeper into Leciel

The heros understanding of Leciels impending ability replication increased.

But for almost the first time, the hero ignored the comment.

Now, it wasnt the gaze of this suspicious artifact.

He wanted to capture this moment with his own unadulterated eyes.

Hehe, you must be hungry! Arent you!Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

At that moment, Cuculli, wiping off the cream, dragged a desk over.

On the desk lay the heros favorite tea and pastries, neatly arranged.

Oh, so thats why Pia

The hero belatedly understood the significant smile he saw on Pia in the laboratory.

He also realized how diligently his disciples had prepared for this day

But that wasnt the end of it.

Whine

From the back of the classroom, an unexpected sound was heard.

Evergreen appeared with a huge bundle of fur, not long after.

Thats

A scene where he returned from the auction house.

The moment she handed the wolf doll.

Although what she held was not a doll but a living creature, there wasnt a noticeable difference.

Evergreen proudly exclaimed, with a twitch of her nose.

Professor really likes wolves!

Noubelmag had decided to join her because he also had business in the Great Forest.

Kasim, following the advice I gave him, said he would leave too.

He said he would find good opponents there, with his newfound swordsmanship.

Finally, Nyhill, I had sent at Noubelmags request.

She wants to find a way to awaken the spirit of the dagger. She wants to take the spirit, which is the master of the forest, to the Great Forest.

Let it be so. I was worried about sending you alone, but it turned out well.

Well, she seems to want to go along with your journey.

I shook my head horizontally.

Of course, Nyhill was a very capable agent, but I didnt expect her to operate smoothly in the depths of the demonic realm.

Going to the Great Forest with Noubelmag was probably the better choice for her too.

I will go alone.

I decided that from the beginning.

Anyway, everyone left over the next few days.

Creak-

Except for the baby wolf rolling around on the carpet of the foyer.

It hadnt been long, but it seemed to have grown a few more centimeters, perhaps due to my mood.

Considering how much meat it devoured every day, a few more centimeters wouldnt be strange.

Shadow.

Growl-!

The wolfs tail wagged from side to side.

Wherever I went, it followed me closely, so I named it Shadow.

In just a few days, it seemed to have completely recognized me as its owner and was quite affectionate.

I have to leave you.

During my absence from Rosenstark, I planned to leave it to Yussi.

She was good at taking care of animals, as evidenced by Ted alone.

She would take good care of Shadow too.

I scratched its back a few times before getting up from the chair.

It seemed to sense that I was about to leave, quietly watching me with its large pumpkin-colored eyes.

I guess its time to go.

I planned to travel to the lawless city of Canis within a week at most.

Although it was the farthest distance of the journey so far, I didnt think it would be impossible as long as I changed horses at every relay station.

There was no need for pace adjustment without a party.

I had no separate luggage.

Only a golden key hung in front of my chest.

Everything needed for this passage through the Abyss was contained within this pocket dimension.

[Well then, Mr. Doppelganger. See you in the demonic realm.]

As I heard the whisper from the doll strapped to my waist.

I left the laboratory and soon departed for Rosenstark.

.

.

.

It took exactly six days to reach the eastern edge.

Alone, but it was a relentless march without a moment of boredom.

The lawless city of Canis.

A city where people live hoping there is no law.

Outlaws, criminals, fugitives, recluses

The residents here refer to themselves as freemen, calling Canis a free city, but

No one calls it that outside.

After passing through a highly formal, seemingly unnecessary inspection,

After walking a few minutes inward, I could reach the entrance to Canis downtown.

[Always the sad scenery, huh.]

The doll hanging from the inner pocket of my jacket murmured.

As Larze had said.

The scenery of the lawless city was dyed entirely in ash gray.

Matchbox-like buildings without windows, contrasting with vibrant signs.

Intense lights and noise flowed through the dusty streets.

The crowds wandered aimlessly, making heavy footsteps, and the main difference from other cities was that the majority of them were alone without companions.

A sinister smirk, or a completely blank expression, occasionally a bright smile passed by me.

A landscape mingled with pleasure and danger.

For newcomers, their bodies would likely stiffen, but I had no such concerns.

I had spent quite some time here.

Thanks to that, I could immediately sense that the atmosphere of this city was different from usual.

I became incredulous and took out the doll.

Is this what you meant by a gift to understand when you arrive in Canis?

[Yeah, do you like it?]

I might need to redefine the meaning of a gift for you.

Fluttering-

As I was about to say that.

A yellowed piece of paper stuck to the wall fell before my eyes.

Underneath the torn paper was a very familiar map, and below that, written in crude letters, it said:

To the exploration team or individual who brings the treasure at this coordinate, a substantial reward awaits

Guild deposit 50,000G

From afar, I could hear someone shouting.

Alright, lets turn our lives around!

Woohoo!

Lazje muttered calmly.

[I guess we need to hurry. Just now another competitor was added.]

I couldnt possibly ever guess her intentions.
