In the morning, Illios was suddenly shocked when she woke up to see Kral, her brother beside her.
“Damn you... Quickly step aside from me..” Without a second thought, Illios immediately pushed Kral to fall out of bed and hit the floor hard.
“Why am I here? Where exactly is this?” Kral said, when he woke up to find out that in a room, when he had been in the tavern of the city of Xemico before.
“Eh, Illios... Why are you also here?” Kral asked, surprised to see Illios in the room.
“I should have asked that. Whereas last night I drove you who was drunk in the next room,” said Illios.
“So because of a heavy drunk yesterday.I did not know what happened after,” Kral murmured.
“Iya.. Even you were drunk you often muttered to call brother Aphrodia.”
“What did you say?” Hearing the statement from Illios, Kral was immediately shocked to make his face reddened, not expecting that he could be delirious about Aphrodia while heavily drunk.
“Terus... What happens next?” Ask Kral.
“We prefer to return to the magic academy, because seeing you are no longer strong to drink,” replied Illios.
“I mean... Is it possible that when I entered the magic academy, I mentioned the name Aphrodia?” Ask Kral again.
“Luckily not... Because at that time you were not aware anymore.”
“Haah... Luckily only..” Kral was seen pompously after hearing the explanation from Illios.
“By the way we are now?” Kral asked while looking around the room.
“This is my private room in the upper class Venerate student dormitory,” replied Illios.
“Just right I feel alien to this place..” Response.
Kral then stood up and went to leave Illios alone in the room.

Moving to Megathirio who seemed happy because the first time to go to the building of the students of the Land Venerate class, because it had become one of them.
While in front of the building, Megathirio paused his steps first to think for a moment what he would say to greet when he was about to meet the disciples of the Land Venerate class.
Megathirio then entered the building of the students of the Land Venerate class. Not long after, the young man walked in a hallway of the building, and immediately heard a slight noise in a room in front.
Knowing that the voice might be the students of Land Venerate who were practicing, Megathirio stopped his steps to recall what he said when he was going to greet the students.
When he arrived at the entrance of the room, the young man bent down to pay his respects to the Land Venerate disciples who were in the room.
“Greetings to you, brothers, and fellow disciples of Land Venerate. Introduce my name is Meagthirio from the clan Hairobl Wiaminnota area… I beg his guidance for the future because today I have officially become one of you,” said Megathirio, greeting the disciples of Land Venerate who are in the room.
“Eh...” When he raised his previous face while bowing, the young man was suddenly startled and confused, knowing that there was only one Land Venerate disciple in the room, who had previously heard the noise of magic techniques from some disciples.
Hearing the introduction of Megathirio who was a disciple of the new Land Venerate, Aphrodia immediately responded with a smile.
“Welcome to join forces as a student of Land Venerate, Megathirio.” Aphrodia said.
“Include also.. I am Aphrodia of the Piercethorn clan of the Rofidal region,” continued Aphrodia, introducing myself as well.

“Aphrodia.. So she's the girl that Kral's sister muttered yesterday while he was drunk heavily.. It turns out she's beautiful too.” Megathirio said in his heart, knowing that the woman was the one Kral called yesterday, and seemed a little fascinated to see the beauty of the woman.
“Ekh... Why did I even think about it?” Megathirio immediately put aside his appreciation for the woman, because it is not something that is important enough for him now.
**
“Did no other student do the training today?” Megathirio asked, curious as he looked into the room and the hallway where he stood.
“Nine other Land Venerate disciples went on a mission to another place, after determining the level of strength yesterday, as well as you who just became a Land Venerate student,” Aphrodia replied, explaining to the young man about the other Land Venerate class students.
Megathirio understood the explanation of the request, and immediately responded by nodding his head.
“By the way, since you are already in this place, there is something I will talk about with you,” Aphrodia said.
“What is it?” Hearing this, Megathirio immediately asked.
*
“What is this about sister Kral?” In addition to asking Aphrodia, the young man muttered inwardly, wondering about what she would say about the possibility of his brother Kral.

Aphrodia also explained that previously she had obtained a mission from one of the academy elders to participate in a Venerate tournament to be held in Fuegonia, the country, where the conditions for participating in the tournament must have five-person team members and are not allowed for members who are top-level Venrates.
The disciples of the Land Venerate first carried out another mission, so only Megathirio remained, besides the woman.
Aphrodia aims to form a team that is strong enough to be able to get a victory in the Venerate tournament that will be held in the country of Fuegonia.
“So, do you want to join one of my team members?” Ask Aphrodia.
Hearing this, Megathirio seemed happy and immediately joined, but the young man suddenly remembered his promise to Lucia last night, where she would promise the woman to help her practice advanced magic techniques.
“Pardon brother Aphrodia.. Although it is quite interesting, but I have to reject it,” replied Megathirio.
“Eh... Why? Do you have anything else to do?” Ask Aphrodia, curious.
“Actually I have promised someone to help him practice magic techniques before.. Therefore, I was forced to reject your offer brother,” Megathirio replied.
Although a little disappointed to learn that Megathirio could not join his team, but Aphrodia also understood the explanation of the young man who rejected his offer.
